Chapter 39: Doing What Husbands and Wives Should Do (Part 1)

  "What's the big deal about changing addresses?" Zou Xiaomi asked very nervously.

  Gu Zi Jun looked at her bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh, pulling the corner of his mouth to say: "Are you really unaware or just pretending? Since our wedding date is already set, why don't we go home tonight and do what husbands and wives should do?"

  Zou Xiaomi: "......", her mouth twitched for a moment, what should be done between husband and wife.

  "Hey, I just thought of something else to ask you. You see that woman today, she kept bringing up Tang Lin Yan in front of your parents on purpose. What if one day she can't hold it in and tells your parents about me being an illegitimate child? What are we going to do then?" Zou Xiao Mi said with great concern.

  Gu Zi Jun suddenly burst out laughing and looked at her with a profound meaning, saying: "You're not stupid after all, you figured this out too."

  "Of course, I'm not a fool." Zou Xiaomi proudly raised her small chin.

  Gu Zi Jun hooked his lips and smiled, but said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to worry about this, do you think my parents don't know your identity? What they want is just a show. Since you're going to be our family's daughter-in-law, why not make it clear all the way back to your ancestors' eighteen generations? So you basically don't have to worry about that woman exposing the truth, because my parents won't even bother with them. After we get married, I reckon they won't even see each other's faces again."

  "So they all knew?" Zou Xiaomi was surprised, opening her mouth in shock, and then remembered today's meeting. She couldn't help but shiver, knowing that they had all known and still pretended to be so normal, Gu Zi Jun's parents were really good actors!

  "By the way, I'm still curious about something. Your family and the Tang's are quite different, how did this engagement come about?" Zou Xiaomi continued to ask curiously, as Old Man Tang hadn't mentioned it last time, she had been wondering until now.

  "You finally remembered to ask?" Gu Zi Jun looked at her with a smile.

  Zou Xiaomi pursed her lips and said: "I've been wanting to ask for a long time, but we weren't close before, so I didn't dare to ask."

  "Now we're familiar with each other?" Gu Zijun suddenly leaned in close to her, his hot breath spraying onto her face.

  Zou Xiaomi couldn't help but shrink her neck, leaned back and smiled slyly: "Of course we're familiar now, aren't we getting married? We have to know why we're getting married after all."

  "It's a long story, and I'm not very clear about the specifics either. It should be the marriage arrangement set by my father and your grandfather! My father was rescued by your grandfather when he was fighting in the war, and they made this promise. Later, your grandfather had only one son, which is your dad, and my father also had three sons but no daughters. So later on, we met again, and nobody thought much of it."

  "But just three months ago, my father suddenly listened to a master's words, saying that the past two years have been unlucky because he didn't fulfill his original promise. So he found the Tang family and asked me to come and meet you for a blind date. Originally, it was supposed to be with your grandfather's child, but there was only your father, and of course, men can't marry each other. So they could only find your grandfather's granddaughter, and my older brothers are about the same age as your father, so I'm the only one left to fulfill this wish."

  Gu Zi Jun spoke in a light and airy tone, as if he was talking about someone else's business, but Zou Xiao Mi still managed to pick up on some mocking undertones.

  "I didn't think your dad, being such a high-ranking official, would believe in this kind of thing." Zou Xiaomi curled her lip, seemingly quite surprised. The new address has been changed to:
