Tea-flavored Romance

Whether it's right or wrong depends entirely on Miss Full Moon's decision.

Jiang Manyue was stunned for a moment again. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the situation in front of her was quite similar to when she cosplayed at the game expo and forced Gu Guanxue to say that she didn't like those three words.

Isn't this a kind of cycle? Back then, I personally forced Gu Guanxue to give an answer, and now her grandfather is asking me for an answer.

Now that things have come to this, should I give a lie, just like Gu Guanxue did back then?

She remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly:

"I don't need to turn back; it's him who should turn back."

With just a few simple words, the girl's obsession and the Heavenly Emperor's domineering aura were clearly revealed. Old Master Gu naturally understood her; upon hearing this, he smiled but said nothing more, silently abandoning the idea of ​​personally intervening.

Little Xue, Little Xue... it seems Grandpa can't help you this time... You have to protect your own happiness...

but……

Even if he doesn't participate in the competition, we still have to dig out the secrets of Ning Yuan. If we could replicate his miraculous skills, which were almost like sorcery... then as long as his demands aren't out of reach, everything else is negotiable.

In the pharmaceutical field, it is absolutely beneficial to the people and the country, and even capable of revolutionizing the world's wealth. As long as he has control over his assets and can develop them, Mr. Gu can responsibly assert that he will definitely be a strong contender for the title of the world's richest man in the future.

Master Ning: How could I possibly want stars? I only want a full moon and snow on earth.

And by the way... how about becoming a supreme ruler for another ninety-five years?

Chapter 331: Giving Them the Future of the Gu Family

With the audacious thought that he would be shot on the spot if he said it out loud, Master Ning accompanied Grandpa Jiang and Gu Guanxue back to the front of the courtyard. After Xuebao and Grandpa Jiang said goodbye, the pressure gradually fell on Master Ning, who had tried his best to keep a low profile and be invisible along the way.

To go to the Gu family or the Jiang family, that is the question.

Moreover, it's a question without right or wrong, only about how one chooses how to die.

"Well... Xiaoxue... I think my luggage was taken inside by your cousin... Let me go in with you to get it, I need to get to the hotel soon."

Master Ning coughed twice and decided to take the initiative. Xuebao immediately understood and replied, "Oh...it's Huaige, right? She just told me that your luggage is in my room. Let's go get it together."

"No... Xiao Ning, you're still staying in a hotel?" Old Master Jiang started lying through his teeth: "Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Come to my house, I have quite a few empty rooms. It just so happens that you and Manyue are college classmates from the same department, you can have a good chat when you meet."

Ning Yuan: "..."

It's like the guy who almost killed me with a glance wasn't your own granddaughter! Grandpa Jiang, that's not being reasonable. I just didn't want to tell you sooner.

It was clearly pointless for me to say anything!

Although he secretly wanted to move into the Jiang family home to be closer to Miss Manyue, the current situation did not support him going to the meeting alone to take down Manyue. The best option was to rely on Xuebao's base and make steady progress step by step.

"It's alright, Xiaoxue's family should have quite a few empty rooms... I will definitely visit your home when I come to visit, anyway, the Gu family and the Jiang family are only separated by a wall, so it's very convenient to visit each other."

"As long as you don't forget what you promised me, I'll still have plenty of opportunities to chat with Manyue."

As Ning Yuan spoke, he began to subtly hint to Old Master Jiang not to forget to persuade his family. Old Master Jiang gave him a deep look, indicating that since it was his decision, it would definitely not change.

"Xiaoxue, go and discuss with your family about bringing Lao Gu back for the New Year," Old Jiang instructed. "If there are any obstacles, remember to tell me, and I'll step in to resolve them."

"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang. I don't think there will be any obstacles." Gu Guanxue said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Even if we are not satisfied, the family still hopes that Grandpa can have a good New Year."

"That's good... Sigh... Go ahead."

The two parted ways, each entering their respective courtyards through the gates on the left and right. As Master Ning followed Xuebao, he cautiously stole a couple of glances behind him…

Hmm, very good. There were no menacing stares as I walked into the Gu family home...

He didn't know that his number one girlfriend, Jiang Manyue, was no longer staying at the Jiang family home. Instead, she had gone to the sanatorium and learned that Grandpa Gu's health had improved. Through her conversation with Grandpa Gu, the girl had even gained a slight understanding of her current thoughts and feelings.

If she doesn't intend to turn back, then the only one who should turn back is that jerk... if he stubbornly refuses to turn back...

Then he might as well just get rid of this head altogether...

Are your parents home?

"They should be here by now, since I asked them to stay home and discuss something... What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong... It's my first time meeting your parents, so I should bring a small gift or something, right?"

Gu Guanxue smiled upon hearing this, tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "I don't think so, since I never brought any gifts when I met your parents."

“That’s different. When did you meet me, and when is it now? How can you confuse the two?” Master Ning said seriously. “Besides, you can make my mother like you even without bringing a gift. I don’t have that kind of superpower.”

"You don't have superpowers, so you plan to use your money to get your parents' approval?" Xuebao snorted twice and said, "I don't accept such a lazy approach!"

"So, are you planning to teach me the superpower to get my future in-laws to approve of me in a second?"

"This kind of thing can't be taught, can it?"

"How would you know if you haven't tried? Teacher Gu, I'm counting on you to impart your knowledge and skills."

"Huh? You're actually driving this kind of car in front of your girlfriend? Are you up to something?"

"I only used an idiom; it's clearly your own filth that's being tainted," Master Ning chuckled. "Seriously, are you sure I don't need to bring a gift when we meet?"

"That depends on how you plan to meet my parents," Xuebao replied. "If you're just close college classmates, then it's not necessary."

"Then it seems there's no need to say more, a gift is a must..." Master Ning sighed, feigning concern. "Xuebao, what do your parents like again?"

"I like a son-in-law like you, are you going to give him away or not?"

"That doesn't count. We need to bring something practical. Even if they're just here to pay New Year's visits, I should bring something..."

"But at this crucial moment, where are you going to find a gift for my parents?" Gu Guanxue asked curiously. "My dad's hobby is calligraphy and painting, and my mom doesn't really have any particular interests, but cosmetics can take care of it..."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to reveal our parents' preferences to me so easily?"

"You call us 'our dad' and 'our mom' so naturally, and you still say I'm not being fair?" Xuebao grumbled back, "Should I also tell you Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang's preferences?"

"No need for that, Man Yue already mentioned it before."

"I knew it! I told you you couldn't be coy about these things. You almost fooled me again!" Xuebao said quietly. "Are you planning to go buy it now?"

"No need, I can paint one myself and discuss it with my uncle." Master Ning said seriously, "Don't let my appearance as a computer science major fool you, I've actually learned quite a bit about painting and calligraphy. And cosmetics will be even easier to buy."

"What are you going to give Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang?"

"Forehead……"

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm not angry," Xuebao replied with a smile. "Let me guess, tea leaves?"

“Da Hong Pao mother tree tea… not much, just a few ounces…” Master Ning replied cautiously, “As for Aunt Jiang’s, it’s very ordinary, just a ticket to a concert. Wasn’t she in a performing arts troupe before? I figured she likes this kind of thing, so I invited one of her favorite artists to perform in China…”

"Isn't that kind of tea expensive but unavailable?"

Master Ning thought to himself that the idea of ​​something being "priced but not available" is a false proposition. When you are willing to pay a price a hundred or even a thousand times higher than its original value, there is always a way to get it.

For Ningyuan right now, spending this amount of money is an investment!

What is angel investing? If an investment made for the evolution of one's own six-winged archangel isn't angel investing, what is?

But he only thought these things to himself; saying them directly to his girlfriend would be tantamount to suicide. So he replied quietly:

"Cough cough... Luck... Good luck, someone just happened to make a move..."

“They’re really lucky… My grandfather has only received one or two such gifts in all these years.” Gu Guanxue continued with a smile, “And Aunt Jiang, if they knew that someone was going to such lengths to please them, they would be very happy.”

A classic example of a smile hiding a knife, and the typical tone of a girlfriend when she's angry.

“Xuebao, you’re wrong about that,” Ning Yuan said seriously. “Actually, I’ve put a lot of thought into preparing gifts for our parents. You’ll find out soon enough that what I’m giving them is far more than what I’ve mentioned. In fact, in terms of value, it far exceeds that of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang.”

What else have you prepared?

"I have prepared the future of the Gu family and am giving it to them."

Gu Guanxue: "..."

"You're not planning to sleep with me and then give them a grandson ten months later, are you?" Xuebao poked Ningyuan's cheek in annoyance. "Is this the future you're talking about?"

Master Ning: ?

What the hell? I clearly said that I not only cured Old Master Gu's hidden injuries and old ailments, but also that the medical technology development plan could take the Gu family to new heights... Sending a grandson? What on earth is this?!

But now that you put it that way, it does sound pretty good...

After a brief moment of interest, Master Ning decisively rejected the plan, replying righteously:

"Ridiculous, how could I be the kind of scumbag who tries to get something for nothing?"

"That's what scumbags usually say, especially since you're a complete scumbag."

"My ingredients aren't that pure either, you can check if you don't believe me?"

"I'm not going to check~ But have you really not considered giving my parents a grandson?"

As Gu Guanxue spoke, she blinked, and the fleeting charm in her eyes made the scumbag exclaim involuntarily. He suppressed the urge to hug her and kiss her in her home and said seriously, "Miss Gu, could you please let me leave a better impression on your parents? I don't want them to see me taking advantage of you as soon as they walk in."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward Xuebao's room. Along the way, they encountered several young men, including Gu Huaige, whom they had met before. They all looked at Ning Yuan with surprise and curiosity, as if asking why he was there.

“There were adults at home, but they should all be out taking care of things right now.” Gu Guanxue explained as she led Ning Yuan upstairs, “The one who just brought your luggage back is Huai Ge, my second uncle’s daughter. The one before her is Gu Pingqiao, my third uncle’s son. There’s another younger one who’s not home. I’ll introduce you if we run into each other.”

Ning Yuan nodded, thinking to himself that, judging from their ages, apart from Gu Huaige, the other members of the third generation of the Gu family were all much younger than those of the Jiang family... So they should be easier to coax than the people of the Jiang family?

The girls in Jiang Xihua's family are obviously cunning and shrewd, unlike Gu Huaige who is so well-behaved and sensible. They even make excuses to help their cousin-in-law move his luggage. Master Ning's evaluation is that they are not as good as Gu Huaige!

Once your cousin's husband has won over your cousin's one-month-old sister, you'll be in for a treat!

"Here we are!" Xuebao pushed open the door of a room and turned around with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are the first boy my age to enter my room... How about it? You easily took my first time, do you feel a strange sense of accomplishment?"

"..."

"I don't feel a sense of accomplishment, but I do feel a sense of trepidation." Master Ning entered Xuebao's room. The decor was warm and simple, and a faint fragrance filled the air, giving people a very comfortable feeling. On the wall in the distance hung a calligraphy scroll with the four traditional Chinese characters "宁静致远" (Ningjing Zhiyuan).

A girl's room is never complete without plush toys, and Xuebao, being a pampered young lady, is no exception. Her bedside table is neatly arranged with little penguins, chicks, and a cloud-shaped plush toy. Unlike Ning Yiling, whose room was a mess, Gu Guanxue's bed was impeccably tidy, even the blankets were folded beautifully.

"You didn't know I was coming, so you specially tidied up, did you?" Master Ning asked suspiciously. "I thought girls' rooms were all unconventional."

"What kind of girl did you use as a reference?" Xuebao snorted. "Although there was an element of advance preparation involved, I still started preparing a long time in advance, okay?"

"how long?"

"On the day you said you were coming to Yanjing," Gu Guanxue said with a smile, "how was it? Did I leave a good impression on you? Do you like me a little more now?"

"My relationships have always been very stable, okay? How could they possibly waver just because my girlfriend's room is tidy and nice?" Master Ning said seriously. "Besides, don't you think this reduces the chances of triggering certain plot points? Like the lucky pervert incident~"

"Why do you need to be so tactful now?" Xuebao blinked and said, "My parents aren't home right now, and my room is pretty soundproof..."

Master Ning: "..."

Even the usually cautious Master Ning couldn't resist giving his girlfriend a light kiss after she'd hinted at it so much. Fortunately, he knew his limits, giving Xuebao's lips a quick, shallow bite before pulling away and patting her head with a smile.
