Chapter 299 You can't eavesdrop, but I can.
On the way, Zhao Tian asked Gu Ningning if she knew why her older brother had called her over.
Gu Ningning shook her head, saying she didn't know either.
Zhao Tian was now even more worried.
But she would know once they met. So Zhao Tian forced herself not to overthink it.
When they arrived at the Gu family home, Gu's mother was already cooking in the kitchen.
Su Niannian was playing with Yangyang in the yard.
Gu Nan was tidying up the odds and ends in the yard.
Upon seeing Zhao Tian arrive, Su Niannian greeted her with a smile.
Gu's mother also came out of the kitchen and talked to Zhao Tian.
Everything seemed pretty much the same as usual.
"Zhendong is in his room. Why don't you go in and talk to him?" Gu's mother said to Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian nodded.
He then walked towards Gu Zhendong's room.
Gu Ningning wanted to eavesdrop outside the door, but Su Niannian called her over.
"Second sister-in-law, I want to hear it!" Gu Ningning said to Su Niannian in a coquettish tone.
"What are you listening to, little kid? Here's some candy. Take Yangyang back to your room and play for a while. I'll call you for dinner later," Su Niannian said, patting Gu Ningning's head.
"Fine..." Gu Ningning reluctantly took Yangyang back to her mother's room.
then……
See you soon...
Su Niannian quietly stood up from where she had been sitting.
Pretending to stretch his limbs, he slowly approached Gu Zhendong's door.
Gu Nan also noticed Su Niannian's little actions and couldn't help but smile.
So... Gu Ningning is too young, and your little girl is old enough to eavesdrop, right?
Su Niannian saw Gu Nan looking at her, and she also saw the smile on Gu Nan's face, and she felt...
"Shh." Su Niannian made a shushing gesture, signaling Gu Nan to be quiet.
I'm going to start listening to gossip and being a spectator.
Gu Nan naturally wouldn't want to bother his little girl, so he tiptoed over to Su Niannian's side.
He lowered his voice and said, "Together."
Su Niannian pointed at Gu Nan with her finger and smiled.
Turns out, my dog of a man is just as gossipy as I am!
Two people were eavesdropping quietly outside Gu Zhendong's door.
"I heard that Aunt Zhao introduced you to someone, and you even accepted a bride price," Gu Zhendong asked Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian didn't know how Gu Zhendong knew about this, but she didn't like lying.
nodded.
But Zhao Tian immediately added, "My mother will return the betrothal gifts tomorrow, and I won't marry him." Zhao Tian looked up at Gu Zhendong as she spoke.
"I heard he's a good person, and he works at a glass factory," Gu Zhendong said calmly.
"Just because someone is nice doesn't mean I have to marry them." Zhao Tian felt a little unhappy when she heard Gu Zhendong's words.
Does it really make no difference to Gu Zhendong who he marries?
Is Gu Zhendong really indifferent to the fact that he married someone else?
Zhao Tian felt a chill creeping into her heart.
A feeling of heartbreak.
“Zhao Tian, I’m much older than you, and I’m divorced with a child.”
"You and I are really not a good match."
"Moreover, my leg is still injured, and I'm still an old farmer, a country bumpkin."
Gu Zhendong spoke, muttering to himself.
With each word she spoke, Zhao Tian's heart grew colder.
Gu Zhendong said that, was he trying to make me give up?
As expected... he doesn't like me.
Zhao Tian felt as if something was blocking her chest.
It's very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't understand why it was so difficult for her to be with someone she liked.
Am I not even eligible for a second marriage?
As expected, I am not worthy. As expected... I will not be loved.
Zhao Tian was feeling very, very upset.
"But if your thoughts haven't changed, if you still like me, and still want to be with me."
"How about... we get married?" Gu Zhendong looked into Zhao Tian's eyes and said, word by word.
Zhao Tian was still immersed in her grief and heartache, feeling extremely distressed.
And then I heard it...
Let's get married.
Let's...get married?
Auditory hallucinations?
I must be hallucinating!
Gu Zhendong's previous words were all about how the two of them were not suitable for each other.
Is that right?
Why would they suddenly talk about marriage?
I misheard.
Haha, I'm so funny. I actually misheard when I was being rejected.
I experienced auditory hallucinations.
She hallucinates that the man she likes tells her to get married.
That's hilarious, so funny!
Zhao Tian felt like she was a joke.
"Zhao Tian?" Gu Zhendong called out to Zhao Tian when she didn't respond.
"Yes, I understand what you mean. I still like you, but I understand that you don't like me and don't want to be with me."
Zhao Tian clenched her hands into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.
Zhao Tian could feel a slight pain in her palm.
"Didn't I ask you if you want to marry me?" Gu Zhendong wondered if Zhao Tian hadn't heard him clearly...
"Yes, you don't like me, you won't be with me, and you want to get married?...Marriage?"
"What marriage??"
Who will marry whom?
Zhao Tian suddenly came to her senses and heard what Gu Zhendong said.
Am I hallucinating again?
Or... what's the situation now?
"Zhao Tian, I mean, if you still like me, let's get married?"
"I've thought it through. I like you too. If you don't mind, I really want to take this step forward and get married so we can be together."
This time, Gu Zhendong didn't waver.
Gu Nan is right. If you like Zhao Tian and love her, you shouldn't push her away.
My leg will get better, and I can find a job after I go to Beijing.
I used to work in a government agency, but I couldn't stay there because of my father's situation.
But as long as it's not a government office, whether it's a factory job or anything else, you can always find a job that can support your children and wife.
Gu Zhendong is not a good-for-nothing, nor does he want to continue being one.
In the year since his leg became disabled, he has come to know how painful it is to be a cripple.
He wants to go out to work, to earn money, and to live a good life.
My leg will get better, and life will get better too.
Therefore, Gu Zhendong decided that he would never again be a hesitant and timid person. He should be brave! It would be good to be brave just this once.
Gu Zhendong looked at Zhao Tian with a solemn and determined expression, waiting for her answer.
Zhao Tian was completely stunned.
There's a feeling of unreality, as if happiness came too quickly.
It felt like I was dreaming.
dream?
Zhao Tian raised her hand and pinched her cheek hard.
pain……
Gu Zhendong frowned when he saw Zhao Tian's actions.
"What are you doing?" Gu Zhendong was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). He reached out and grabbed Zhao Tian's raised hand, pulling her closer to him.
