The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 321: Sweetness

He suddenly grasped Gu Yuan’s hand. Gu Yuan turned to look at him, and he gave her an exceedingly determined look, then said to Yu Rujin, "Yuanyuan and I will get married as soon as possible. I’ll personally plan and prepare the wedding, but I also hope the Quan Family will cooperate with me."

"Are you being silly?" Yu Rujin said with a smile on her face, "You are the youngest grandson of the Quan Family, they are your entire support. This marriage is a major event; if the Quan Family doesn’t cooperate with you, who will?"

Chi Yu smiled, "Thank you, Grandma."

"Don’t be so polite with Grandma."

Yu Rujin was in a very good mood and continued talking non-stop: "The wedding should be held in Yanjing. We shouldn’t skimp on the grandeur. Even though the Quan Family has been low-profile in recent years, we are still a prestigious family. The last wedding was over ten years ago, your fourth uncle’s. Now, after so many years, this wedding must be magnificent."

Yu Rujin’s words were also a promise to Gu Yuan.

She also took Gu Yuan’s hand and gently patted it, saying, "In Sui City, you are already a prominent figure, but that’s not enough. I want people to know you as a prominent figure in Yanjing as well. But, people need to know you are Gu Yuan first before they know you as the Quan Family’s granddaughter-in-law."

That last sentence expressed Yu Rujin’s attitude.

Gu Yuan doesn’t need to rely on the Quan Family’s reputation; she wants others to know she’s Gu Yuan first, and then a granddaughter-in-law of the Quan Family, which is a great sign of respect.

Such a cherished promise stirred Gu Yuan’s emotions greatly.

Regardless of whether Chi Yu said he wanted to marry just to appease Old Madam Quan, every word she spoke struck Gu Yuan’s heart truly and deeply.

After dinner, it was already very late on their way back.

Gu Yuan arranged for Old Madam Quan to sit in the car driven by Old Bai to rest at the Gu Mansion, accompanied by Fu.

She and Chi Yu took another car.

Suisui had already fallen asleep, nestled in Chi Yu’s arms.

Along the way, Gu Yuan remained calm and didn’t mention his talk at the dinner table about marriage, feeling certain he said it just to appease.

Chi Yu still didn’t know what Gu Yuan was thinking. He took the opportunity to ask, "Yuanyuan, do you want a traditional Chinese or Western-style wedding?"

Gu Yuan didn’t look at Chi Yu, instead gazing at the retreating night view outside the window, "Either is fine."

With Suisui in his arms, it was hard for Chi Yu to move, but he couldn’t hide his overjoyed feelings, "Yuanyuan, I really want to see you in a wedding dress."

Gu Yuan withdrew her gaze from the window.

She turned to look at Chi Yu. There was longing on his face, but she wasn’t sure how genuine it was. She reminded him, "Grandma isn’t here."

As soon as the words fell.

Chi Yu didn’t immediately understand what this reminder meant.

Soon after, he froze.

Then, the atmosphere in the car fell completely silent.

Gu Yuan didn’t wait for him to speak again, feeling her hopes had dropped quite a bit. She knew she might have expected too much. If he left again this time, he still wouldn’t marry her.

The car arrived at the Gu Mansion.

After getting off, Chi Yu said, "I’ll take Suisui back to the children’s room first."

Gu Yuan nodded and went to arrange a place for Old Madam Quan to stay.

This was Yu Rujin’s first visit to the Gu Mansion.

Her first time here, she was intrigued by the vast mansion and kept praising how good it was, even saying, "Fu, when we return, let’s reconstruct the courtyard beside the old house to be like this mansion."

Fu: "..."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Sure, this Gu Mansion was beautiful and grand, and being located with its back to the CBD in the city center, its value was undeniably high. But the Quan Family’s courtyard, even modestly said, was worth tens of billions. If it was reconstructed to be like her Gu Mansion, wouldn’t its value drop by more than half!

Yu Rujin saw the matching expressions on Gu Yuan and Fu’s faces, giggling, "I’m just joking."

Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After arranging a room for Old Madam Quan to rest, it was very late when Gu Yuan returned to her room. She opened the door, and Chi Yu was already lying on the bed.

Not sure if he was asleep or not, Gu Yuan didn’t disturb him. She went to take a shower, did some skincare, and came out to find him still lying in the same position on the bed.

He seemed to be asleep.

Actually, Gu Yuan wanted to talk to him heart-to-heart.

Leaving on just a wall lamp, she lifted the covers and lay down.

To be honest, she still wasn’t used to sleeping in the same bed as Chi Yu. For the past three years, she had been sleeping alone, sometimes with Suisui.

She encouraged Suisui to sleep in the children’s room to cultivate independence, gradually forming the habit. Unless there was thunder or rain, she would bring Suisui over to sleep together.

Now there was another person on the bed, the person she loved and was closest to, bringing about a very subtle feeling.

Once, when Chi Yu first came into her life looking for her, they developed step by step and naturally ended up living together. For a long time, she stayed at Yujing No.1 and hardly returned to the Gu Mansion. After they broke up, she moved back to the Gu Mansion, leaving Yujing No.1 vacant.

This time, there was no gradual development, no natural progression.

Resolving misunderstandings directly led to them living together.

Her mind was filled with too many things, and as Gu Yuan lay down, she felt exceptionally weary. Just as she was preparing to sleep, the bed suddenly dipped heavily. Immediately after, a hot body turned over, pressing her beneath it.

Gu Yuan: "..."

The warm yellow wall lamp was still on.

He didn’t completely lift the covers but instead turned over with both the person and the covers, blocking half the light. She couldn’t see his face clearly. Roughly knowing what he wanted, she placed her hand on his chest, her gentle voice saying, "I’m very tired."

But he said, "I’m not tired."

His dense kisses landed, starting from her forehead, moving to her nose, and finally to her lips, lingering and sucking. Gu Yuan heard him swallow softly, and her body slowly heated up.

She couldn’t control this matter.

Her body couldn’t resist, but deep down she was rejecting it, expressing her attitude: "Go to sleep early."

Then she pushed him away from her.

Unexpectedly, he was pushed away.

Chi Yu slid off her and hugged her from the side, his arms strong and tight around her. His warm lips rested by her ear, saying, "Don’t be mad."

Gu Yuan didn’t understand why he said that: "How can you tell I’m mad?"

He sighed softly: "Yuanyuan, I know you too well."

"Not necessarily." Gu Yuan placed her hand on his arms that were tightly wrapped around her, enjoying the way he embraced her from behind: "If you truly understood me, you wouldn’t have been fooled by me all this time."

Her words hit Chi Yu right in the heart.

He hugged her even tighter.

Gu Yuan let out a soft moan: "I can’t breathe."

He finally loosened his grip, but just a bit. Gu Yuan felt uncomfortable, she pushed against him but couldn’t budge him, trying to turn around to reason with him.

After turning around to face him, he hugged her tightly from the front, his breath resting on her neck. His voice was even softer than hers: "We’re getting married." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gu Yuan didn’t move, didn’t react.

She was pondering over his whispers.

While she was thinking, she heard him repeat the most resolute words—

"Yuanyuan, I want to marry you."

"I want to take you as my wife."

"This has always been my dream, I dream of marrying you."

"Will you marry me?"

"You must marry me; only me, just me, alright? Alright?"

He spoke with urgency, increasingly desperate.

His voice even carried a sob, as if he had held back for a long time. Gu Yuan was unsure if he had been lying quietly in bed for so long, thinking about this.

In her moment of distraction, he kissed her collarbone, causing her to shiver.

Gu Yuan blocked him with her hand: "Don’t..."

He suddenly pulled her up to sit, enveloping her in his arms, holding tightly without letting go, his whole being locked onto her: "Missing you is real, loving you is real, wanting to marry you is real."

The warm light cast on one side of Gu Yuan’s face, while the other was pressed against Chi Yu.

There was no discernible expression on her face, she only barely heard her own slightly offbeat voice: "I thought you were just saying marriage to appease Grandma."

"I’m not appeasing Grandma," he let her go, cupping her cheeks and said with a silly smile, "I’m telling Grandma I’m going to marry a wife."

Gu Yuan broke into laughter through her tears, tipping her head up to kiss him.

Like a dragonfly touching the water, a kiss that merely brushed past.

She said, "Once, there was a jerk, who never gave me a sense of security. I thought it would be hard to experience real security from this jerk in this lifetime, but now I have it."

She wasn’t madly in love with him.

She just loved him very, very much, wanting to share the splendor of life with him.

Chi Yu knew the jerk she was speaking of was himself. He had no clue what he’d done before, but now he could make up for it well.

He pressed her back down on the bed.

The big bed sank under their weight with a jolt.

He pressed tightly against her, kissing her intensively. Gu Yuan called out in pain, he would stop, but when Gu Yuan said stop, he became even more reckless.

Gu Yuan couldn’t handle him; in matters like this, he had all the control, her strong-willed nature only worked during the day.

Exhausted to the limit, in a drowsy state, he hugged her tightly, whispering into her ear: "Yuanyuan, I don’t want to wait anymore, let’s get married tomorrow, okay?"

Gu Yuan’s mind was mostly blank, her body was sweaty, sticky, and uncomfortable. She pushed him away, responding hazily: "Okay."

He was even happier, carrying her to the bathroom.

...

The next day.

The consequence of indulgence was the inability to get out of bed.

Chi Yu coaxed Gu Yuan: "Get up now, okay?"

"No."

Gu Yuan had nothing scheduled for the morning, she didn’t want to get up, she wanted to sleep a little more, besides, it was only seven o’clock, too early.

She had no idea how beastly she was last night, and today he even wanted her to get up early.

But Chi Yu didn’t give in, forcibly booting up and pulling her up, carrying her into the bathroom.

He placed her on the sink to sit, then washed her face and brushed her teeth; Gu Yuan was in a daze as he did these things.

After freshening up, he carried her out and sat her on the bed, her drowsiness still lingering.

Until Chi Yu appeared in front of her, wearing a white shirt, handing her a small-sized white shirt, saying to her: "Wear this today."

Gu Yuan suddenly perked up: "What are you going to do?"

Chi Yu squatted down in front of her, earnestly holding both her hands, saying with some nervousness: "We’re going to get the marriage certificate today."
