Chapter 322: No
Since Gu Yunhe mentioned that himself, Gu Chaoyan nodded instantly. “Sure, then go and ask her. If she is willing to accept your proposal, I won’t say a thing. But if she is not willing to marry you, don’t ever mention it again.”
Gu Chaoyan had a soul from the 21st century. She respected equality and freedom. So she respected Sword One’s own choice.
“Got it.” Gu Yunhe answered casually, looking displeased. Of course she would be willing to accept the proposal. He was such a great match. There was no way that she would turn him down.
When the deal was done, Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang wasted no time, and started to head towards the Qiong Pavilion. Gu Chaoyan did not stop them but followed along with Qing.
The Qiong Pavilion might look slightly shabby, but it still had a touch of neatness and vitality. The fruit trees in the yard had wonderful fruits.
Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang ignored all of those phenomena, but headed directly towards the Qiong Pavilion.
Sword One heard the sound of footsteps and knew that her Miss was home. She came running with a smile and saw directly Gu Zhenkang and Gu Yunhe. She instantly stopped smiling and showed a cold face again, but soon she spotted Gu Chaoyan behind them.
Then she showed a brief smile, walked past Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang but came to Gu Chaoyan. “Here you are, Elder Miss!”
Gu Chaoyan nodded with a smile and took hold of Sword One.
Normally, Gu Chaoyan would not have told her directly what happened in front of Sword One, because she thought it was such a huge humiliation for Sword One, but she had to do it now so that Gu Yunhe could give her up.
With trust filling her eyes, she nodded at Sword One. Then she turned to Gu Yunhe and Gu Zhenkang. “Since Sword One is here, just tell her if you have anything to say.”
Gu Zhenkang turned to Gu Yunhe, suggesting that he should do the talking himself.
He did not like Sword One the maid, since she never greeted him after she came to the mansion. She had never regarded him as the master of the mansion. Well, she was Lord Huai’s maid, so she was spoiled, but when Yunhe married her, he was definitely going to tell Yunhe to teach her a lesson, in case she had no idea what was important.
Gu Yunhe was quite confident and had no moment of hesitation. He took a step closer to Sword One, as he said with a look of gentleness. “Sword One, you remember me? I am the eldest young master of the whole mansion.”
“...”
“I have already talked with my father. I like you, and I am willing to be kind to you. But you are not in a great social status, so I can only marry you as a concubine. But don’t worry, I will treat you well.”
“...”
“Are you willing to take my proposal?”
Having said the words, Gu Yunhe showed a very proud expression expecting to hear an agreement.
Sword One got very furious inward, but she still threw a look at Gu Chaoyan who slightly shook her head.
Sword One fathomed what she meant.
“No!” Sword One answered directly.
“You...” Gu Yunhe widened his eyes, looking totally unconvinced. She turned him down?
Then he looked at Gu Chaoyan, a.s.suming that Gu Chaoyan must have threatened her! However, Gu Chaoyan was still wearing a flat look on her face.
“Why?! You are just a maid, and you should be honored and thankful to receive such an offer! You are not getting the position as the legal wife!” Gu Yunhe said with displeasure.
