Chapter 2326 - 40: Legendary Proposal (Part 2)

"Uh..."

Gu Xiran actively leaned on Qin Mu’s shoulder and whispered softly.

"Uncle, your shoulder is really comfortable... it feels so safe."

When Tang Bao was little, Qin Mu doted on her. He practically watched Tang Bao grow up, and seeing the former little girl mature inevitably brought mixed emotions to his heart.

"Silly girl, if Qin Jin ever dares to bully you... and you don’t want to tell your dad, just come to me directly. Even if Qin Jin is my biological nephew, I’d still break one of his legs or arms."

"Yeah, if it gets to your dad’s hands, he might just take that kid’s life."

Gu Xiran: "..."

There’s no need to be so bloodthirsty and violent.

Gu Xiran chuckled softly, looking at Qin Mu’s utterly serious expression, she nodded solemnly.

"Okay... but Qin Jin won’t bully me."

"Indeed, that kid, no matter how much grievance he bears, would never let you suffer, make you sad. That little guy, he’s liked you since he was little..."

Qin Mu paused before continuing, "But the men of the Qin Family, especially Qin Jin as the eldest son, his sense of responsibility is particularly strong. He knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders... So... when Qin Jin encountered you and Qin Song’s matter, it was difficult for him. He did some things that hurt you, Tang Bao, don’t be mad at him."

"Hmm, I know."

Gu Xiran nodded; the hidden truths of Qin Jin had faded over the three years.

Love is selfish, but family is selfless...

It’s always hard to have both.

Eventually... in the end, I chose Qin Song.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes turned red, she said hoarsely, "Uncle... back then you and mom..."

The past, Gu Xiran might not remember too clearly when she was small, but as she grew up, she started to understand.

Back then, Qin Mu liked Jian Ran. Later, considering me and mom, he fulfilled dad and mom, then met Aunt Mu Wan.

"Uncle, I wonder, could Qin Song be as lucky as you, and meet Auntie... meet his own destined girl."

Listening to Gu Xiran, Qin Mu raised his hand to rub the little girl’s hair.

It was truly a case of a bright landscape after a dark path back then.

Thought the road had ended...

Sometimes, life’s opportunities are just so interesting.

Qin Mu squinted his dark eyes, especially meaningful.

"Meeting Mu Wan was the luck of my life, fate has been destined since ancient times... Qin Song naturally will have his destination... Tang Bao, most importantly, you should live well with Xiaojin, that’s more important than anything else, do you understand?"

"Hmm..."

Gu Xiran nodded.

She hoped Qin Song could also have such fortune...

When being responsible for others, first be responsible for oneself.

...

Gu Xiran and Qin Mu brought the freshly squeezed juice to the living room, where everyone was chatting happily.

Gu Xiran looked at Qin Song sitting alone casually in the corner, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

When she reached Qin Song, Gu Xiran handed him the ginger tea to warm his stomach, speaking softly.

"Your stomach is not very good, drink this to warm it..."

A soft voice, slightly playful, sounded beside him. Qin Song’s dark eyes blinked in surprise before he quickly responded, "Okay, thank you, sis."

Qin Song reached out and took it from Gu Xiran’s hand.

All along, except for the Qin Family members and surrounding friends, she was the person who cared about his health.

Unexpectedly, three years later, she still remembered that his stomach wasn’t very good.

"Don’t call me sis, it’s not even that yet; it makes me sound old... just call me Xiran or Tang Bao."

"Okay."

We always have to face what we must face. In the days ahead, she couldn’t avoid dealing with Qin Song. Gu Xiran took a deep breath and sat beside Qin Song, speaking softly.

"How’s work at the company?"

"It’s alright, it was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now it’s much better... totally capable of hitting on girls after work."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Really, Qin Song’s character hasn’t changed at all.

Gu Xiran chuckled softly at Qin Song’s words and raised her eyebrows.

"Oh? But I heard... someone is always busy like a grandson, often traveling for business... Grandpa and Grandma are rushing you to find a girlfriend, even going on blind dates, but you have no time."

Qin Song felt a bit awkward when Gu Xiran exposed him.

Not sure why... in front of Gu Xiran, he subconsciously pretended that he was doing very well.
