Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Gu Yanting also bent down slightly to make it easier for Yun Miao to take off the mask.

As the mask slowly fell off, Gu Yanting's face gradually appeared in front of Yun Miao. At this moment, even time seemed to freeze. The end of his thick and slender eyebrows extended to his hair, and the sharp eyes were slightly upturned. However, when he looked at Yun Miao in front of him, his eyes showed undisguised tenderness and love. His high nose bridge and slightly upturned mouth made it easy for people to see that he was in a good mood at the moment. As the mask slipped off, everything in front of him appeared in front of Yun Miao.

At this moment, Yun Miao was completely immersed in the charm exuded by the person in front of her, unable to extricate herself.

Yun Miao had never imagined that Gu Yanting had such an unparalleled handsome appearance under the mask.

"Are you satisfied with what you see?" Gu Yanting asked with a smile on his face, looking at Yun Miao who was obviously absent-minded.

After hearing Gu Yanting's words, Yun Miao came back to her senses and lowered her head shyly, not wanting to admit that she was the one who had done such an embarrassing thing.

Knowing that Yun Miao was thin-skinned, Gu Yanting did not tease her too much, and the two talked for a while.

Seeing that it was indeed very late and not wanting to disturb Yun Miao from resting, Gu Yanting immediately prepared to leave.

"Miao Miao, don't worry, I am sincere to you and I will never let you down! I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself." Before leaving, Gu Yanting made a solemn promise to Yun Miao.

Although he had reached an agreement with Nanchang Hou, Gu Yanting still wanted to hear Yun Miao's thoughts in person. He hoped that Yun Miao would marry him not only because of her father's order. Gu Yanting just wanted Yun Miao's willingness. He didn't want to let Yun Miao down, even though he had hoped countless times to marry Yun Miao home as soon as possible.

"Well... of course I am willing to do so." As if she understood what was in Gu Yanting's mind, Yun Miao suppressed her shyness and looked at him and replied in a low voice.

As soon as she said this, Yun Miao seemed to feel embarrassed, and quickly covered the window with a blushing face, ran to the bed, and buried her hot face tightly in the quilt. It took a long time before she fell asleep again. However, in her dreams, she was thinking of Gu Yanting, who had just chatted with her.

Gu Yanting waited for Yun Miao's answer, and finally his heart relaxed. Thinking back to Yun Miao, who was shy but still responded to him seriously, Gu Yanting felt a warm current flowing into his heart. He couldn't wait to marry Yun Miao as soon as possible.

Now that Miaomiao has agreed to me, the matter of getting married needs to be put on the agenda.

The next day, after court, Gu Yanting went directly to Mr. Zhong's residence.

"Oh! You finally have time to come and see me, an old man. I heard that the Nanchang Marquis Mansion is very beautiful. I don't know if it's true or not." Seeing Gu Yanting, who rarely came, Old Zhong began to joke seriously.

"It is really beautiful. I wonder when you are free so that we can go and enjoy it together." Ignoring Mr. Zhong's teasing, Gu Yanting replied calmly while drinking his favorite tea.

Seeing Gu Yanting completely ignoring his jokes and speaking seriously, Mr. Zhong rolled his eyes in dismay. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhong who came over and slapped him on the back of his head.

"Yan Ting, I heard that you have been very close to Nanchang Marquis's mansion recently. Are you attracted to his daughter? However, except for his legitimate daughter who is married to the prince of Qi Xuan, the other daughters are all concubines, and they don't seem to have a good reputation...

Although her daughter was said to be dignified and virtuous when she was still in the boudoir, I have seen her twice at banquets and she really doesn't live up to her reputation. So you should think about it more. After all, after she marries you, she will be in charge of the affairs of the entire mansion. If she has bad character, it may affect you."

Old Madam Zhong also knew Gu Yanting's character. He must have made up his mind, so he went to Nanchang Marquis' Mansion. But she didn't know which girl he had his eyes on. Yanting had been taken care of by them since he was a child. They also knew that he had lived a hard life over the years, so they naturally hoped that he could find a wife who was truly devoted to him. But the reputation of those people in the Marquis' Mansion was not particularly good, so they asked this question.

"She is the second daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She is a good girl. She has suffered unfair treatment since she was a child, but she has never blamed others or felt sorry for herself. Instead, she has maintained a kind and pure heart, loves life, and is kind to everything around her..." Following Yun Miao's good points, the usually taciturn Gu Yanting began to talk incessantly.

Mrs. Zhong listened carefully to Gu Yanting's story about Yun Miao's past, asking questions from time to time. On the other side, Mr. Zhong kept rolling his eyes at Gu Yanting while drinking tea, not at all the respectable person that outsiders would think he was.

"Hearing what you said, she is indeed a rare good girl. The most commendable thing is that although she has an extraordinary appearance, she can stay in this small courtyard for so many years and be content with being ordinary. However, it seems that His Majesty is the matchmaker between you! If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have happened to enter Yun Miao's courtyard and meet her." Mrs. Zhong said with emotion after listening.

"You came here specially today, you wouldn't come here just to chat, like how we praised the second Miss Yun!" Seeing that the two of them were chatting endlessly, Mr. Zhong, who was a little impatient, interrupted Gu Yanting directly, and his eyes clearly said "If you have something to say, say it quickly."

"I came here today because I hope that you, old lady, can take me to the Nanchang Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage. You also know my relatives here... After thinking about it, I really can't find any other suitable candidate, so I have to come here to trouble you." Having said that, Gu Yanting stood up and saluted to Old Lady Zhong.

It was really a helpless move for him to come to Old Madam Zhong to ask for help with his marriage. Because of his father's incident, the direct relatives on their side had already died, and those who had drawn a clear line had drawn a clear line. If someone else spoke, their status was not high enough, and he was worried that people would look down on Yun Miao. So he had to ask Old Madam Zhong to go on his behalf.

After hearing what Gu Yanting said, Mrs. Zhong agreed immediately. She and Mr. Zhong had no children in their lives, and they always regarded the late General Gu and his wife as their own children, and Gu Yanting as their grandson. If Mr. Zhong had not been unwell and had a serious illness that almost could not be cured, she would not have failed to persuade the late emperor when Gu's father was in trouble.

This matter has always been a thorn in the side of the two of them, and they have not been able to completely forget it over the years. Previously, Gu Yanting's marriage has always been the most troublesome issue for the two of them. They mentioned it to him many times, but he simply wouldn't listen.
