After living a carefree and unrestrained life for many years, one day the family arranges a marriage for you. Anyone would be uncomfortable with this.

Moreover, the reason why Gu Jinhong wanted to marry was because of Gu Jinhe, so no matter what, this meeting and conversation was inevitable.

When Gu Jinhong saw Gu Jinhe, he knew that she had come to him for this matter.

Gu Jinhong decided to get engaged to Qin Yi after careful consideration.

If a marriage is necessary, Gu Jinhong would not mind if the candidate is Qin Yi.

Even if the wife was not chosen through a normal relationship, Gu Jinhong was willing to accept her.

Gu Jinhong looked at Gu Jinhe and asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want me to say?"

A complex emotion flashed across Gu Jinhe's eyes. She frowned and whispered, "Doesn't Third Brother have any resentment in his heart?"

Gu Jinhe knew that Gu Jinhong always liked freedom and never liked being arranged by the family, especially things like marriage, which was impossible to happen in the past.

Gu Jinhong's smile remained unchanged when he heard this, and he said, "Why should I complain?"

Gu Jinhe said in a low voice: "Are you serious?"

"Has Third Brother really thought carefully about marrying Qin Yi?"

Gu Jinhe didn't want Gu Jinhong to lose his happiness or freedom because of herself.

Gu Jinhong slightly restrained the smile on his face. He looked at Gu Jinhe seriously and solemnly and said, "This is my decision after consideration. I will not regret my decision now."

"So, sister Miaomiao, you don't need to feel burdened or blame yourself. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you."

Gu Jinhe felt a dull pain in his heart again. How could it have nothing to do with her?

If it weren't for her, the Gu family would never have allowed Gu Jinhong to marry.

Although he married the eldest daughter of the Qin family, whose status and family background were equal to Gu Jinhong, and Qin Yi also liked Gu Jinhong, Gu Jinhe was still worried that they would not have a good life after marriage.

If they are happy, Gu Jinhe will be happy for them and will sincerely wish them happiness forever.

But if he doesn't live a good life, Gu Jinhe will feel uneasy.

Gu Jinhe came to Gu Jinhong this time to get an answer. If Gu Jinhong was unwilling, she would try her best to cancel the engagement rather than let Gu Jinhong feel bad.

Gu Jinhong saw the purpose of Gu Jinhe's visit, so he said those words just now.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhe directly said: "If Third Brother doesn't want to, I can help you."

Gu Jinhong shook his head and said, "I'm not unwilling, sister Miaomiao, you really don't have to blame yourself. Do you think I would be the kind of person who would ignore myself for the sake of others?"

Gu Jinhe looked at Gu Jinhong in silence for a long time. If it were someone else, Gu Jinhong would certainly not ignore his own wishes for others.

But if this person is Gu Jinhe, it’s a different story.

Gu Jinhe looked at Gu Jinhong deeply and said, "I hope that what Third Brother said is from the heart, and not just to comfort me."

Gu Jinhong chuckled: "Second uncle asked for my opinion on this matter, and I agreed to it myself. It has nothing to do with other people."

At this time, the sound of rain outside the window was getting heavier. Through the window, I could see the misty sky, which was white and vast. The sun and clouds were hidden behind the rain.

The tea on the table was cold. Gu Jinhong changed a cup of tea for Gu Jinhe, handed it to her, and said, "What gift are you going to give me for my engagement?"

It's not even the engagement day yet, but he's already asking for a gift.

Gu Jinhe knew that Gu Jinhong was deliberately changing the subject, but he still continued the conversation.

When the rain outside gradually stopped, Gu Jinhong held an umbrella and escorted Gu Jinhe out of the courtyard, saying, "Really don't need me to take you home?"

Gu Jinhe took the umbrella and said helplessly, "I'm at Gu's house, why do I need you to send me there?"

Gu Jinhong smiled and said, "Even if it's at Gu's house, your yard is quite a distance away from here. Do you really not need me to take you there?"

Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly: "Really, no need, I can go back by myself, didn't Third Brother have to go out just now?"

"I'll leave first and not bother you anymore."

Until he could no longer see Gu Jinhe's back, the smile on Gu Jinhong's face slowly faded. His brows slightly frowned, thinking about the scene of seeing Gu Jinhe crying at the door just now, and the heavy regret and grief in her eyes. He always felt that there was something he didn't know.

But since Gu Jinhe didn't say anything, Gu Jinhong didn't dare to ask. After all, Gu Jinhe had just cried, and he didn't want to open the wound again. Everything that happened will always leave traces.

Even if Gu Jinhe is unwilling to say more now, Gu Jinhong believes that he will know it sooner or later.

Gu Jinhe, who left here, did not return to his own courtyard, but turned to the old lady's Qinglan Courtyard.

Standing in front of the courtyard gate, Gu Jinhe looked up at the plaque on the gate, feeling an indescribable complexity in his heart.

In the past, Gu Jinhe didn’t understand what Qingseyuan meant, but now that he knew it, he felt a little regretful.

The man who could be favored by the proud and arrogant eldest daughter of the Xie family at first sight must be a very handsome person.

It’s a pity that Gu Jinhe has never seen his photo. The Snake King said that she looked like an old lady, but from her temperament and appearance, one can still find some of Murong Qinglan’s shadow.

The old housekeeper opened the gate hastily with an umbrella in hand. Seeing Gu Jinhe standing at the door, he asked in surprise, "Miss?"

"Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

Gu Jinhe smiled and said, "I just got here too, and was just about to go in."

The old housekeeper moved aside to make way: "The old lady has been resting for a while. She just woke up not long ago. Miss, please follow me."

Gu Jinhe followed the old housekeeper in silence. When they arrived at the door of a room, the old housekeeper stopped and turned to Gu Jinhe and said, "The old lady is inside, Miss, please go in."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly, handed the umbrella in her hand to the old housekeeper, walked to the door and knocked twice, and soon the old lady's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Gu Jinhe opened the door and walked in, and found that the curtains were drawn. The light in the room was not very bright. The light from outside leaked in through the open door, allowing Gu Jinhe to see the general appearance of the room.

This room is not a bedroom, nor a tea room or a living room, but a room similar to a storage room.

Most of the things were covered with a layer of dust cloth. There were two chairs placed near the curtains, with a small round table in the middle and a dim desk lamp on the table.

The whole room can only be barely illuminated by this desk lamp.

The old lady was sitting on one of the chairs, flipping through a book in her hand.

"Come in and close the door." The old lady looked at the thing in her hand, but spoke to Gu Jinhe.
