Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

However, before Gu Jinhe could speak, Fu Huaiyuan raised his hand, pressed the back of Gu Jinhe's head and quickly brought him closer to himself.

For a moment, Gu Jinhe felt as if his breath had been taken away. When he was able to breathe again, his nostrils were filled with Fu Huaiyuan's scent.

Fu Huaiyuan's kiss was overbearing yet gentle, and Gu Jinhe's legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand.

Fu Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and Gu Jinhe sat sideways on Fu Huaiyuan's legs. This angle made their kiss even more passionate.

It was unknown how long it took before Fu Huaiyuan let go of Gu Jinhe. The corners of Gu Jinhe's eyes were a little red, and she leaned in Fu Huaiyuan's arms, breathing lightly.

Fu Huaiyuan stroked Gu Jinhe's back again and again, allowing her breathing to gradually calm down.

The two sat close together for a while. Gu Jinhe smelled the faint sandalwood scent on Fu Huaiyuan's body and said softly, "You haven't told me yet how you made Murong Qingming change like this."

Fu Huaiyuan chuckled, his tone incredibly gentle: "I can't tell you."

Gu Jinhe: “…”

Gu Jinhe raised her head and looked at Fu Huaiyuan. At such a close distance, she could even see each of Fu Huaiyuan's eyelashes clearly, as well as the teardrop mole under his right eye.

Facing those eyes full of affection, Gu Jinhe's eyebrows softened, and she whispered, "Really can't you tell me?"

Fu Huaiyuan raised his hand to tidy up the hair around Gu Jinhe's ears and said, "No."

"Why?"

"This is a secret between Murong Qingming and me."

Gu Jinhe curled her lips slightly and suddenly felt that Murong Qingming was not a qualified partner as he was actually having a secret with her fiancé behind her back.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. Shuhua and Shumo have already placed the fireworks in place outside the courtyard gate.

This year's fireworks were still lit by Fu Huaiyuan. Gu Jinhe stood under the arch and looked up at the dark night blown up by the fireworks, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

There were colorful fireworks above his head, but all Gu Jinhe could see was the tall figure in the backlight.

After all the fireworks were lit, Fu Huaiyuan came to Gu Jinhe, took out a brocade box from his coat pocket and handed it to Gu Jinhe.

At that time, fireworks were blooming in the sky, and the colorful starlight was reflected in Gu Jinhe's eyes. She first looked at Fu Huaiyuan, and then lowered her eyes to look at the brocade box in front of her.

Fu Huaiyuan said: "This is a New Year's gift for you."

Gu Jinhe took the brocade box and said, "I know, but I feel a little ashamed that I forgot to prepare a gift for you."

After the fireworks were lit, Shuhua and Shumo returned to the yard to watch, obviously not wanting to disturb Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan.

Fu Huaiyuan pulled Gu Jinhe into his arms, his voice low and pleasant: "You are my gift, I have just accepted it, I like it very much."

Gu Jinhe felt her cheeks getting a little hot. She didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now that they were outside, she felt a little blushing.

Gu Jinhe rested her chin on Fu Huaiyuan's shoulder and looked up at the clusters of fireworks blooming above her head. It was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning, and it was already the second day. She smiled suddenly: "Fu Huaiyuan, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Gu Miaomiao."

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the day when the Gu Family Ancestral Hall is opened, and the day when Xu Cheng is recorded in the Gu family genealogy.

That morning, all the members of the Gu family were standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall. After the old lady went in to burn incense, she called Xu Cheng in.

The other members of the Gu family were standing outside the door waiting. Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked into the ancestral hall. At this time, Xu Cheng was kneeling in front of the ancestors of the Gu family. The old lady was holding the Gu family genealogy in her hand, and she was saying something while slowly writing something on it with a brush.

Gu Jinhe looked at Xu Cheng who was kneeling with his back to the door, and slowly let go of the heavy stone in his heart.

She finally fulfilled the oath she had promised and finally let Xu Cheng take the surname Gu.

From today on, Xu Cheng will change his name to Gu Xu Cheng.

You will also be known by your new identity.

From this moment on, Xu Cheng's position as steward was legitimate.

After Xu Cheng finished bowing, he came in front of Gu Jinhe. He looked at Gu Jinhe and whispered, "Miss, can I come back to you now?"

If it was because he wanted to inherit the position of housekeeper, he had no choice but to leave the Rose Courtyard and leave Gu Jinhe's side.

Now that Xu Cheng has become the legitimate steward of the Gu family, he no longer needs to stay by Gu Jinkuan's side.

Gu Jinhe had never intended to let Xu Cheng stay with Gu Jinkuan forever. She nodded slowly: "After today, you can come back."

Only after hearing the answer he wanted to hear did Xu Cheng relax his tense body. It was also at this moment that he realized that he had been too nervous without realizing it.

It turned out that he was worried and afraid of hearing rejection.

Gu Jinhe was not absent from the Gu family's family dinner today. At the dinner table, Gu Jinhe silently lowered his head and drank his soup. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Fu Huaiyuan.

I don’t know what he is doing at this moment, whether he is busy with work, or sitting with his family to have a meal like the Gu family.

After dinner, the old lady asked Gu Jinhe to stay.

The old lady brought Gu Jinhe to the side hall and sat down. They had been told in advance that tea to help digestion would be poured here.

After Gu Jinhe sat down, he turned his head to look at the old lady and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

The old lady raised her hand and took two sips of the teacup in front of her, then whispered, "Did you arrange Murong Qingming's matter?"

She had known for a long time that this matter could not be hidden from the old lady for long, but the old lady only asked her now, which surprised Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe: “Yes.”

Old lady: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? If anything goes wrong, have you thought about the consequences?"

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyelids: "I haven't thought about it. If I'm not absolutely sure, I won't do it."

Gu Jinhe has never been someone who would take risks with other people's lives.

The old lady's tone was a little serious: "Do you trust Murong Qingming so much? The same was true for Murong Chuan before. Why are you so tolerant of these two people?"

Are you tolerant?

Gu Jinhe didn’t think so. She simply didn’t want the Murong family to have an easy life.

If Murong Chuan had not died, his status as the first among the Murong family's branches might have had unexpected effects in the future.

As for Murong Qingming, in addition to the fact that he was the Snake King's request, his hatred for the Murong family was also the basis for Gu Jinhe's decision to cooperate with him.

If Gu Jinhe found out one day that Murong Qingming's heart had betrayed her, she would get rid of him without mercy.

She can both transform him and make him know what it feels like to fall from heaven to hell.

Gu Jinhe had said long ago that as long as Murong Qingming did not cross her bottom line, she would spare his life.

And the Murong family is her bottom line.
