The good news overshadowed the oppressive atmosphere, and the scene finally regained the look of a proper family banquet.

Many gathered around Qin Tao, humbly asking for advice on how she managed to successfully become pregnant at an advanced age. After all, the third family had mocked her for her unproductive womb for quite some time, and relatives had all mistakenly thought she was infertile.

Qin Tao smiled shyly and gave a unified answer: it was the good luck brought by the Little Ancestor, teaching her to do three good deeds a day, and thus she formed a good rapport, allowing her old iron tree to bloom again.

Only Gu Jingyan sat silently, his lips pursed, face stiff.

A relative couldn’t resist teasing him: "Why, do you not like having a little sister?"

Gu Jingyan’s face darkened further, quickly glancing at Xi Zuzi not far away: "I don’t dislike it!"

Relatives: "Then why aren’t you happy about the news that your mother will give birth to a sister?"

Gu Jingyan held back for a while, then awkwardly replied, "It’s because they kept it from me."

Relatives: "Hahaha, such childish temper."

Gu Jingyan’s face darkened even more: "...!"

He’s not a child; he, like Bao Gucheng, is a man.

Just then, there was an exclamation from the servant outside the door: "A guest has arrived with celebratory gifts!"

He turned around and saw a man in a deep green trench coat uniform, arriving under the stars: "Mr. Gu, forgive me for being a step late."

"It’s Mr. Bo!" Everyone murmured softly.

"Gucheng, you came at the right time," Mr. Gu leaned on his cane, broke away from Gu Jingyan’s support, and went forward, "Had it not been for you letting Yin Hu come earlier, we..."

Might not have known how badly Shangguan Wanwan would deceive us.

Bao Gucheng casually waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Gu, on such a joyous day, celebrating is what matters. Congratulations to the Fifth Lady for finally finding her long-lost, real husband; I think that’s what deserves a celebration."

He gestured with his large hand, and immediately, Chen Long brought forth the gift boxes.

Bao Gucheng directly handed the gift box to Gu Yuzhi: "Congratulations, on reuniting the family. As for weddings, just proceed as necessary, there’s no need to feel embarrassed."

Gu Yuzhi was filled with myriad emotions, opening the gift box to reveal a pair of wedding rings, a wedding banquet plan for the Empire Building’s banquet hall, and a honeymoon travel card.

Everyone was stunned. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

This was the rhythm of endorsing Gu Yuzhi and Gu Qiusha.

Both the wedding and the honeymoon were all arranged!

The taboo everyone dared not touch just now was so openly spoken by Bao Gucheng, making it seem straightforward, nothing at all.

Gu Yuzhi, Gu Qiusha, Xi Zuzi, Xi Rubao; in truth, their family reunion indeed deserves celebration.

Mr. Bo really knows how to do things.

Everyone started cheering, egging on: "Proposal, proposal, quickly propose!"

The atmosphere was even more lively than when the news of Qin Tao’s pregnancy was shared.

Gu Yuzhi took a deep breath, holding the heavy gift box, and condensed all words into one sentence: "Thank you."

Bao Gucheng’s tall figure leaned slightly forward, his thin lips near Gu Yuzhi’s ear, lowered his voice and suddenly said: "Future father-in-law, you need not be so polite. I just want to make Zuzi happy."

Gu Yuzhi: "..."

For the first time in his life, being teased by this ’big bad wolf’ didn’t make him angry, but rather somewhat comforted.

This wolf, to go to such lengths for Zuzi, he was convinced, grateful, relieved.

Enough, let’s shake hands and make peace.

Though his heart was at ease, Gu Yuzhi maintained composure: "Zuzi is still young; she has a promising future and academic pursuits ahead, this ’future’ may yet take time."

Bao Gucheng smiled lightly: "I can wait."
