Gu Jun remembered, the last time when the Gu family held a banquet, he came here together with Shen Junan.

Seeing his little sister's current situation, Gu Jun understood most of it.

"Hello, Young Master Shen." He shook hands with Shen.

Shen Qiao didn't seem to have any shrewdness, just like a weak youth. This didn't match with his background, but Gu Jun was more receptive to him.

"Big Brother Su, Wanjia said that she wanted to bring me here to see you, so I came uninvited. Sorry to bother you." His speech was gentle and humble.

If Gu Wanjia wanted to ask for his brother's opinion, Gu Jun would still be quite satisfied with the Shen Covenant.

"It's alright. Wanjia is my brother and sister. She can come as she pleases, there's no need to greet her." As he greeted them, he prepared for surgery.

Shen Qiao saw that he was rather busy, so she tugged on Gu Wanjia's sleeve and gave her a look.

"Bro, we'll take a stroll around the hospital. You can busy yourself first." Gu Wanjia understood and took Shen Jingbin to the hospital's backyard.

The backyard of the West Hospital wasn't too big. It was still a muddy land with a rose. It was late autumn and the flowers had wilted. Only a few dry branches swayed in the wind. It was very quiet.

"Wanxia, your brother gave up his identity as the young master of the Gu family and came here to work for the wedding, it's actually to resist the marriage." Shen knew more or less about what Ku had announced in the newspaper before he left home.

At that time, in the Xiang City, this incident was quite sensational as they had discussed it for a long time.

Shen was living with Shen Junan in Hangzhou, but he occasionally came back to the city and heard the gossip.

"Yes, my father chose the young lady of the Lu family for my brother. Miss of the Lu family also likes my brother, but my brother has taken a fancy to someone else …" Gu Wanjia could not continue, her eyes turning red.

Shen Yan quickly put his arm around her shoulders and asked nervously, "Wanjia, has Uncle mentioned your marriage before?"

With a sad expression, she said, "Shen Yan, my father intends to give me a promise, a promise …" She was unable to continue as her tears started streaming down her face.

Shen Qiao was at a loss for what to do. He hastily wiped away the tears on Gu Wanjia's face and calmly said, "Wanjia, if my father comes to propose, uncle, will he agree?"

When Shen Jingbin finally said such words, Gu Wanjia was overjoyed in her heart.

"Your Shen family has a lot of power and influence. Your father, can he fancy a little merchant's daughter like me?" She deliberately tested the contract.

Shen promised, "Wanxia, I'm not going to marry anyone but you. If my father forced me, I would be like Big Brother Su, doing business in the city and breaking off my contact with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed Gu Wanjia's fragrant lips, causing her to feel a wave of dizziness. His hand followed the flow and reached under her clothes. Gu Wanjia gently opened his fingers, then whispered into his ear, "When we get engaged in the future, I … I'll give it all to you …"

Breathing hard, he held her tight for a moment before letting go.

The heat on her face was boiling, and when it was blown by the cold wind, it was like a deeply drunk redness. Shen Ya couldn't help but kiss her again.

When they left, they went to find Ku Jun once more.

He had just descended from the operating table, and his face was covered in sweat.

"Shen Qiao, men come straight to the point. Do you like Wan-jia?" Ku Jun asked.

Shen Qiao magnanimously said, "Big Brother Su, yes, I like Wanjia. After I return, I'll invite my father to come and propose marriage."

Gu Jun patted him and said, "Okay, marry her in the proper way, okay!"

Since the last time she met Shen, Shen often made amends to her, and from time to time she came from Hangzhou to invite her out for a meal and a movie, but she never mentioned anything about the future.

On the Gu family's side, they were in a hurry to climb up the path of Shen Ru Nan. They had long since reached the path of a family member.

She told him that she was satisfied with the reputation of the Shen family, as well as with the person she had asked for.

However, the Shen family still hadn't made a move. They couldn't just ask for it themselves, right? If they had any other ideas, how would the Gu family be able to stay in the city?

Once the father and daughter duo thought about it, Gu Wanjia decided to force Shen Qiao a little bit. She also decided to probe out how much sincerity he had towards her, and whether he was serious towards her or not.

So she took Shen Qiao to Gu Jun's hospital, tactfully telling him that her elder brother, the eldest son of the Gu family, had broken up because of love and family. She wanted to see what Shen Qiao would say, see if he would listen to his family's wishes, or if he had the courage to make his own decisions.

By the way, she told Shen Qiao that the Gu family was already looking for someone for her, but it wasn't him, because they couldn't afford it.

Gu Wanjia purposely raised Shen Qiao's reputation and placed herself in a weak position, accurately hitting Shen Qiao's mindset of being protective of the fairer sex.

So when Shen swore to make Shen Junan come forward to propose, she knew that her goal had been achieved.

She did not shy away from his kiss, but she refused his physical intimacy in order to give him more motivation. She wanted to firmly grasp onto his fat body and find a backer for her family's business.

Emotionally, she could be considered to be fond of Shen Qiao. He was very patient with her, would tolerate her little willfulness, would give her beautiful accessories, and would often kiss her until she felt dizzy, causing her body to stir up and sometimes let her imagination run wild.

She felt that if her marriage to Shen was successful, it would be a beautiful affair.

Coming out of the hospital, Shen Qiao accompanied Gu Wanxia to a movie, and only sent her back to the Innocent Residence late at night.

As soon as they entered, Gu Fangfang asked, "Wanjia, did you go out with Mister Shen? "I came back too late. Next time, be careful not to let people gossip."

He admonished his daughter not to forget the identity and modesty of a lady.

"Father, Shen said that when he returned to Hangzhou this time, he would inform his father that Commander Shen has come to propose marriage." Gu Wanjia's face was covered in the spring breeze.

Gu Fangfang didn't expect the matter to progress so quickly. Her brows were covered in smiles as she extended her thumb to praise Gu Wanjia for her ability.

She took the opportunity to say that her mother was sick. After all, they were a married couple with many years of grace. When she heard this, she softened and moved into Pan Yuyi's room to take care of her old wife.

After that, Gu Wanjia settled down in her heart and started studying for a few days. Last time, her tests weren't good, but the detestable Qiao Ruo Chu won the award for the unorthodox school. She wasn't convinced that the school's first place was good, so she was now determined to study seriously.

As soon as he had something to do, his days would go by swiftly.

Unknowingly, it was already Saturday.

Shen said he wanted to surprise her by calling her on Saturday night and telling her to wait at home.

When he returned to Hangzhou, he told his father, Shen Junan, about the matter. Shen Junan pondered for a few days and repeatedly measured the family's financial resources.
