Chapter 516: The Engagement Party (2)
By then, Lin Qingya would already be six to seven months pregnant, and it would not look good for the bride to get married with a big belly. Hence, Bo Huaiyun advised Gu Qianru to hold an engagement party first. They could hold the wedding after Lin Qingya had given birth to the child and recovered.
He even said that this would make the old man even more hopeful. This was because the old man’s greatest wish was to see his grandson get married and have children. If the wedding was held and the child was born, the old man would be instantly satisfied and would no longer have the energy to support himself.
When Gu Qianru heard this, she felt that Bo Huaiyun was right. She immediately agreed not to hold the wedding and to hold the engagement ceremony first. However, because her father’s health was not good, she was afraid that no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to hold on until her son’s wedding. Hence, the engagement ceremony was much grander than an ordinary wedding. She wanted the old man to see such a grand occasion. If he could not hold on any longer… he would not have such regrets.
Because Bo Junyan and Bo Huaiyun were attending to important guests, he and Mu Huan came early.
Looking at the happy Gu Qianru and Old Master Gu, who had been lying on the bed all this while, Lin Qingya, who was in a white dress, was also in high spirits to welcome the guests. She looked like an angel if one was just looking at her appearance. It was a beautiful scene when she stood with Gu Chenyi.
Mu Huan could not help but sigh. “If only Lin Qingya was a good girl and the two of them liked each other.”
This would be such a beautiful family.
Bo Junyan swept his gaze across the room without saying a word.
Seeing more and more guests entering, Mu Huan suddenly thought of something and released her grip on Bo Junyan’s arm.
Bo Junyan frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t we in a hidden marriage state right now? What if someone finds out about our relations.h.i.+p after seeing we’re really close?” Mu Huan recalled what he had said about how their marriage must not be exposed yet.
The people who came today were all from the upper-cla.s.s society. With the two of them being so intimate, everyone would soon know about their relations.h.i.+p.
When Bo Junyan heard this, he reached out to put his arm around her waist. He didn’t like the fact that she was a distance away from him. “Dad’s condition has stabilized a lot. He can come back during the new year, so it won’t be a problem for him to host our wedding next spring. Hence, it’ll be good if the news of us being together is found out.”
“Our wedding next spring?”
“Yes.”
“…” As the protagonist, she didn’t even know that they were going to hold a wedding next spring.
“What’s wrong?”
Mu Huan wanted to say that it wasn’t a big deal, but she suddenly recalled that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together. If there was anything going on, they had to communicate more about it. “Hubby, I don’t think you’ve told me anything about a wedding before. I don’t even know about it as the lead female, so I’m a little upset.”
Bo Junyan frowned. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Is it too late to say it now?”
Seeing how serious he was, Mu Huan couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Of course there’s still time!”
Bo Junyan was about to lower his head to kiss her when he saw her beautiful smile.
Bo Huaiyun came over and said that there was something important that he had to ask him and they had to leave.
Mu Huan was so bored that she found a quiet corner to check on the information she’d been needing.
After some time, she felt that someone was looking at her. Looking up, she saw Lin Qingya standing not far away looking at her.
Her expression was indescribable.
Seeing her raise her head, Lin Qingya walked toward her.
