As they stood on the school lawn, Gu Qingyao leaned her head against Mo Beihan’s shoulder. “From uniforms to wedding gowns? Mo Beihan, I feel so lucky! Heaven has been so good to me!”
Mo Beihan turned and reached over to draw her into his arms. He lowered his head. “Lucky? You’ve suffered so much in your previous life, but you still think you’re lucky?”
Gu Qingyao smiled sweetly. “I was the main cause of my own suffering in my previous life. I was still young and immature when I encountered that incident, and it’s understandable that I could not accept it. But no matter what I experienced later on, I always had a loving family by my side.
“And you. During the best and worst times of my life, you were always there. It’s not unusual to have someone who loves you. But it is a blessing to have someone who always loves you. Of course I’m lucky!”
Mo Beihan laughed. It was true that he had always cherished this girl, whether in his previous or current life.
In the past, he had longed to see Yao Yao happy and confident. Now he felt reassured to see the girl living an exciting life!
He pulled her into a tighter embrace and lowered his head so he was even nearer to her. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I will ensure that you are always happy. I will always give you the life you wish for.”
Gu Qingyao blushed faintly. “Now… that we have finished our studies, shall we go back to China?”
Mo Beihan smiled. “Are you ready to be my bride?”
Gu Qingyao’s blush deepened. “Haven’t… I give everything to you already?”
Mo Beihan paused and held her even more tightly. “Yes, you became my bride long ago. I am the one who owes you a wedding.”
She had already agreed to marry him and be his bride in her previous life. In this life, they were already together. He was the one who owed her a wedding.
“Do you want to wear a wedding gown? If you do, we can hold a wedding here first. You can’t wear a wedding gown in China. We can hold another wedding back home.”
Gu Qingyao leaned against his arms and laughed. “It doesn’t matter. Actually, I like the bright red old-fashioned wedding dresses. I certainly won’t have a chance to wear that when we go home. But my father and the others are not here, so I don’t want to do that either.
“I want to go home. I’ll wait until my parents are together, and all our relatives are present before we get married.
“As long as I marry you, it doesn’t matter what I wear. I will be just as happy.”
Mo Beihan held her. “If you like, you can buy all kinds of wedding gowns. Even if you can’t wear them in public after we go home, you can wear them for me at night. We will wear them secretly. Old-fashioned ones, or white gowns. You can wear whatever you like.”
Gu Qingyao giggled and buried her head in his arms. “You’re so bad!”
Mo Beihan raised his brows. “Am I bad? I’m just being considerate!”
Gu Qingyao “Your heart is bad!”
“No, I’m not!”
“Yes, you are!”
“All right, I’m bad. If you say I’m bad, then I’m bad!”
…
Gu Qingyao had finished her studies, so she had to prepare to go back to China. Her relatives were all in China. She had not been home for more than six years.
Now that they were finally going back, Qiao Yuying began to feel nervous.
She knew that Gu Yunshen was waiting for her in China. In the past, circumstances had prevented her from going back. Her daughter was studying here, so she had remained here to keep her daughter company.
Although it became possible to go back later on, her daughter had not yet completed her studies. She was not in a hurry to go back, so she waited for her daughter to graduate before going back together.
