Get married first, then love. Wedding postponed, get the certificate first.
Ning's siblings had left for a while, but Ye Shanshan's expression was still somewhat stiff, her lips slightly open, yet hesitant to speak.
The director didn't ask much, just occasionally turned his head to glance at her twice, and his keen professional intuition told him that the little girl was about to collapse.
As expected, before they even reached the exit of the cemetery, Ye Shanshan couldn't help but say with a smile, "You'll be returning to your unit soon, and then... I'll still be alone."
She said so not because she was afraid of a person's life, but just wanted him to know this fact.
"It's not like there's still laughter." Gu Bei Chen replied matter-of-factly.
"I... I never thought of moving in with you." Ye Shanshan's mind had wandered off to who-knows-which planet, filled with all sorts of fanciful ideas.
"Who said let you move in and live with me?" Gu Bei Chen didn't expect her to think that far.
"If I don't move over there, how can I take care of Xiao Xiao?" Hmm, this doubt is very reasonable.
"I have a place of my own outside, the environment is great and it's not far from school, you and Xiao Xiao can move there to live." Last night, Gu Bei Chen slept for less than two hours again, and he spent the rest of his time planning for the future.
What's going on here?
Obviously, Boss's plan was completely beyond Ye Shanshan's expectation, and for a while, she didn't know how to respond either.
"You will soon become my wife, and it is only natural that you live in my house." Gu Bei Chen especially emphasized the word "soon", he would be leaving for his troops on Wednesday night, and this "soon" had a limit of only three days.
"That... we only have a verbal engagement, should... not count, right?" Ye Shanshan thought to herself: She's still in school and not yet of legal marriage age, even if the chief is anxious, it'll probably take two or three years. Now she's not in a legitimate position, moving into his house like this doesn't seem quite right.
"Indeed." The chief also expressed his agreement.
Just as Ye Shanshan was about to turn around and secretly let out a sigh of relief, the captain spoke up again, "So, I plan to settle our relationship before returning to the troops."
Uh... what's settled? Grandpa's funeral just ended and he... he isn't thinking of preparing a wedding within three days, is he?!
"I... am still in mourning, cannot..."
Gu Bei Chen had already guessed what she wanted to say and interrupted her calmly: "Let's hold the wedding after you graduate, we'll get the certificate first."
Sir, you're not mistaken, are you? I just turned 18 years old, how can I get this certificate?
"Don't worry, age is not an issue, I'll take care of it."
Ye Shanshan was completely out of temper, he wasn't a tapeworm in her belly, how did he know what she was thinking in her mind?!
The road down the mountain was a bit steep, and all the way, Ye Shuangshuang was being led by Gu Beichen. After last night's sleep in each other's arms, she seemed to have gotten used to such intimate contact, from head to toe, she didn't have any idea of wanting to break free.
Seeing her father holding Xiaomimi walking down the mountain, and Yeye Nainai taking a step ahead of them, Xiao Xiao immediately ran over to him, "Dad, Yeye asked you to go to Auntie's house to help her pack up things, then pick her up and bring her back to our home to live. Xiao Xiao will also go to help."
"You and Auntie get on the bus first, I'll go tell Grandpa and Grandma." Father's impatience was within Gu Bei Chen's expectation, unfortunately, he didn't plan to let the old man have his way.
Ye Shanshan got into a silver Range Rover with a smile, but her eyes kept following Gu Beichen who was walking towards the second old man of the Gu family.
He who is capable of anything should be able to persuade Uncle Gu.
"I told Grandpa that after you move to our house, you'll sleep with me first." The enthusiastic and impatient little girl has already planned out the future before anything has even happened.
"Actually, I... never thought of moving to the Gu residence." Ming knew that this would definitely disappoint and hurt Xiao Xiao, but Ye Shanshan still spoke the truth.
"Why? Are you looking down on Xiaoxiao?" Living in such a special family, Xiaoxiao is much more sensitive than children of the same age.
"Of course not!" Ye Shanshan hastily denied, this little girl, where did she get so many thoughts, "What I mean is...I'm not formally married to your father yet, so it's not possible for me to move in with you guys."
"But... Grandpa is no longer here, who will take care of you in the future?" Little girl isn't just thinking about herself, she really wants to help Daddy take good care of Mommy.
This child, it's really touching to see her being so sensible. Ye Shanshan couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss Xixi's smiling face, "I'll take care of you myself."
Ye Shanshan didn't dare to question Master's decision, he said he wanted to take her to get a certificate, this matter is probably unavoidable. Even if she doesn't move to the Gu residence, she will still live with Xiaoxiao in the near future.
Although she was kissed, her smiling face was already filled with worries, "We don't even live together, how can we take care of each other?"
Ye Shanshan was hesitating about how to respond, when she turned her head and saw that tall figure walking step by step towards them, "Your dad is back."
"Grandpa's car is gone! Why did it turn a corner and speed away?"
"Maybe she was driven away." Ye Shanshan's heart tightened, muttering to herself.
Ye Shanshan was right, the two old men of the Gu family were indeed driven away. To be exact, it should be Old Lady Gu who was driven away, and the old man could only follow her back to comfort her.
It's understandable that Old Lady Gu is so angry, her son wants to marry an 18-year-old blonde and bring her home, she has already compromised and tolerated it, now they still want to take away her beloved granddaughter, how can she tolerate this?
The eldest daughter is married far away, the son and youngest daughter are in the army all year round. In recent years, Xiao Xiao has been almost the only comfort for the old couple. Without her, what joy does the old couple's life have?
"It's all your fault, you had to find such a daughter-in-law for my son. Now look, I've lost both my son and granddaughter!" The car had already driven far away, but the old lady's resentment still hadn't dissipated.
"What's wrong with that? Laughter is just moving out to live, you want to see her, you can go see her at any time!" The old man didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision at all. He firmly believed that after a period of time, Shanshan would definitely become a qualified virtuous wife and good mother.
"You... you're heartless! Xiaoxiao just started elementary school, how can you bear to let her live with that little girl?" The old lady was so angry that she burst into tears.
"I believe in Beichen, he must have his reasons for doing so." To say that I'm not worried at all is false, but because I trust my son, Old Master Gu is willing to take this risk.
"I really don't know what's so good about that little girl, our son is like a soul possessed when he sees her, doing all sorts of foolish things!" In the end, it was still up to the son to decide, and the old lady was most angry with him.
"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see? Someone hooked his soul, and that's why he keeps coming back."
This remark hit Grandma Gu's soft spot. She was so eager to arrange a marriage for her son, wasn't it because she hoped he could settle down and return to work in G City? Thinking this way, the old lady seemed not as angry anymore.

Hehe, we're almost going to live together~
