Chapter 183 Come Home with Me

"According to the latest news obtained by Yangxia reporters, the chairman of Hendry Oil Extraction Group from Saudi Arabia, Lance Brito, has gifted the Snake Head of the Twelve Zodiac Heads to Huaxia..."Gu Yu was lying on the bed scrolling through Dou Ying when the Yangxia news broadcast started playing.

That morning, Mr. Chen Tian had left the auction in a huff, and later the Snake Head was bought by Lance; little had Gu Yu expected that it would be gifted to Huaxia so soon.

One had to say, the old man's friend really hadn't made a mistake!

He had managed to protect the Snake Head from destruction by foreigners and had maintained the dignity of Huaxia people.

After watching for a while and seeing everyone posting likes and flag emojis in the comments section, Gu Yu smiled slightly. The sense of national pride among his countrymen always seemed to be particularly strong at moments like this.

This also showed that everyone's confidence in their country was growing day by day!

Casually placing his phone on the charger next to the bed, Gu Yu pulled the covers over his stomach, preparing to take a nap.

But just as his eyes closed, someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Yu? Are you there?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Xinyue, come in, I'm inside."

Gu Yu rolled over and sat up.

Lin Xinyue opened the door and walked in, then sat next to Gu Yu, her expression seeming a bit awkward.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yu could tell she was embarrassed and asked curiously.

By her looks, Lin Xinyue had something to say to him. But with their current relationship, what could they not discuss openly?

"Yu... I... I have a favor to ask of you."

Lin Xinyue glanced at Gu Yu and then quickly lowered her head, her palms twisting together, her fingers nervously entangled.

It was clear she was hesitating.

"Silly girl, just tell me if there's anything, why are you even talking about asking me for a favor?"

Gu Yu shifted and sat closer to her, looking at her with a puzzled face.

Lin Xinyue had never spoken to him like this about asking for a favor. What had happened today that she was being so hesitant?

"This matter... it's a bit special, but I can't ask anyone else for help except you..."

Lin Xinyue pursed her lips, her eyes focused on Gu Yu, though her cheeks began to blush slightly.

"Well, if only I can do it, then I will certainly agree to help you, I am your boyfriend, after all!"

Gu Yu nodded.

"I'm going to tell you then! Get ready mentally!"

Having received Gu Yu's unconditional approval, Lin Xinyue visibly relaxed. She caught Gu Yu's earnest gaze as if she had made up her mind.

"I'm mentally prepared! You're not about to break up with me, are you??? Babe~ did I do something wrong?"

Gu Yu took a couple of deep breaths and then nodded.

For some reason, seeing Lin Xinyue looking so solemn, he suddenly felt incredibly anxious.

Had he done something wrong?

Was Lin Xinyue here to talk about breaking up with him?

Gu Yu panicked, even more than he ever had performing surgery!

The mere thought of a possible breakup with Lin Xinyue was suffocating.

Without realizing it, Lin Xinyue had taken over all the soft spots in his heart.

"What? Of course not! Are you an idiot? How could I possibly want to break up with you? You haven't done anything wrong!"

When Lin Xinyue heard his words, she first froze slightly, then rolled her eyes at him.

What was this guy thinking!?

She had just carefully prepared a birthday party for him last night, and today his head was filled with all these messy thoughts!

"What I wanted to say is, can you accompany me home this Wednesday?"

Lin Xinyue pursed her lips, revealing the reason she had come to find Gu Yu.

"Oh, so it's about going home with you! Phew, as long as it's not about breaking up! Uh, which home?"

Gu Yu unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, then casually nodded.

But the next second he realized something was off!

Going home? Enjoy more content from empire

Xinyue actually wanted him to accompany her home?

It couldn't be time to meet the in-laws, could it?

Damn! He wasn't ready for this at all!

"Are you really that clueless? Which other home could I possibly have? I only have one home! Let me tell you the truth! The reason my parents are urging me to come home is that they want to find me a prospective partner during my grandpa's 70th birthday celebration!"

"Then, I had no choice but to tell them that I already have a boyfriend..."

"And they said that on grandpa's birthday, I must bring my boyfriend back to meet them!"

Lin Xinyue gave Gu Yu a resentful glance with mournful eyes before explaining the whole situation.

At the same time, she felt utterly helpless; she was only twenty-three years old, and yet her family had started looking for a match for her since last year.

If she hadn't met Gu Yu, she felt she would have waited until at least twenty-five or twenty-six years old to find a partner, and as for getting married, not until she was twenty-nine or thirty!

But after she told her parents this, her dad was so angry he almost threw her out of the house!

The generation gap between parents and young people nowadays really is getting bigger and bigger.

That's why she always avoided going home whenever she could.

But this time, with grandpa's 70th birthday, she had no choice but to go back.

Unable to withstand the incessant questioning from her family, she had no choice but to present Gu Yu as her boyfriend.

"Uh... grandpa's birthday celebration, does that mean, not only meeting your parents but also your grandparents?"

Gu Yu was flustered, realizing it was because of this whole thing!

He hadn't expected that Lin Xinyue also had the trouble of being pressured to marry by her family!

"You've only told half..." Lin Xinyue first nodded, then shook her head vigorously: "There are also my uncles and aunts!"

"During grandpa's birthday, basically the whole clan will come back!"

Lin Xinyue thought for a moment, then began counting the number of relatives on her fingers.

Gu Yu saw her count all the fingers on one hand, then started over with the other, and his scalp started to tingle.

This wasn't just meeting the parents!

This was meeting the whole clan!

It was his first time visiting her home! Looking at this situation, he feared he might have to recognize all the relatives in her family, didn't he?

"Don't even think about backing out! You just promised me that you would go back with me!"

Seeing Gu Yu's bewildered face with his mouth agape, Lin Xinyue grabbed his arm tightly, fearing he might get scared and run away.

"Uh... Why would I back out! I'm just shocked by what you said, so, are you saying this is like going back to get engaged?"

Gu Yu lifted his chin with his hand and a quirky smile spread across his face.

Since grandparents, uncles, aunts, and whatnot would be there, going there with a betrothal gift and getting engaged seemed pretty feasible, right?

"Ptui! We've only been dating for a month; who's going to get engaged with you!"

Lin Xinyue spat lightly, then rolled her privileged eyes at Gu Yu.

Despite her reluctance verbally, her heart began to race!

Could it really be that they were going to get engaged so quickly? And after getting engaged, doesn't that mean marriage is next? Then after marriage, comes having children?

That's way too fast!

She was not ready for this at all!

But... The other party is Gu Yu, huh?

Lin Xinyue sneaked a glance at Gu Yu, who was muttering something to himself, and her cheeks flared up as if a burning cloud had reached her neck. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Suddenly, she thought, maybe it wasn't entirely unacceptable…?

"Wednesday, right? There are two more days. I'll try to prepare in these two days!"

Gu Yu thought to himself, even though he and Lin Xinyue hadn't been together for a very long time, he was indeed Xinyue's boyfriend.

Since this situation had arisen, he, as the boyfriend, naturally had to face it heads-on without hesitation.

It was just meeting the parents, right!

He had already met Mrs. Bai and Mr. Liu; it should all be more or less the same!

Thinking of Mrs. Bai and Mr. Liu's attitude, Gu Yu felt much more at ease.

He guessed that Xinyue's parents would probably have a similar disposition to Mrs. Bai and Mr. Liu.

"Really?! I could almost kiss you to death!"

Lin Xinyue hugged Gu Yu with an ecstatic face and planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
