Back Then, I Adored You

Old Master Gu had raised Gu Yusheng, so he knew him very well. At that time, seeing his abnormal reaction, he quickly guessed that he and Xiaokou must have been getting along harmoniously, so he said, "It seems that things aren't really so bad."

Gu Yusheng certainly knew his grandfather was referring to the fact that he and her were getting along well. He shook his empty teacup and put it down before pouring himself another cup of tea. With a gentle stream flowing into the cup, without shying away, Gu Yusheng replied, "Yes, it isn't too bad."

When Old Master Gu heard those four words, his face suddenly lit up with pleasure. Then he took the tea in front of him. After drinking it, he told Gu Yusheng his real purpose for deliberately leaving that day. "Yusheng, Xiaokou has lived with you for a long time. Although you have a marriage certificate, a wedding ceremony hasn't been held yet. Shouldn't you consider one?"

The marriage certificate... Upon hearing those words, Gu Yusheng slowly increased his force on his grip of the cup he held.

No one knew that they hadn't gotten a marriage certificate yet.

According to the law, she was still not his wife.

Noting Gu Yusheng's lack of response, Old Master Gu thought that he was just being reluctant, so he began persuading Gu Yusheng. "Do you not intend to have a wedding ceremony? A bare bones marriage? Since your grandfather Liang and I have been friends for so many years, he doesn't mind and won't say anything, but we can't exactly do nothing. Xiaokou also grew up favored in the Liang family. It's unreasonable to be treated such a way after joining our family. Isn't this poor treatment?"

Gu Yusheng lowered his eyes and looked at the pale green liquid in the cup, still not saying a word.

He carefully thought it over; she had already lived in his villa for half a year, and she had accompanied him for a long time without an official status.

She had been kept in the dark about the matter of the marriage certificate, not knowing that it was a fake, let alone receiving a wedding ring from him.

If it hadn't been for him happening to see her taking contraceptives, she wouldn't have told him, either.

Thinking about that, it seemed that she had really suffered a lot of grievances while living with him...

The impulse he'd had that morning when he had almost said, "If you get pregnant, we'll keep it," became more and more intense.

After drinking the tea, the Old Master Gu put down his teacup. As he hinted at Gu Yusheng to pour more tea for him, he said, "And you aren't as young now. It's time for you to have a child. Since Xiaokou is still young and healthy, you should have a baby as soon as possible. As for me, my health condition is worsening every year. If you have a child early, maybe I can still see my grandson before I die..."

Your grandson, a child from little troublemaker and me…

Gu Yusheng, who was disgusted with marriage and children, suddenly had an image emerging in his mind of a tender, white, soft, and small infant. His heart suddenly became especially soft. Not keeping silent any longer, he raised his head and said to his grandfather, "I see. I'll listen to you and deal with these matters."

…

After he saw the grinning Old Master Gu out, Gu Yusheng stood quietly by the French windows and looked at the sun in the west, seriously thinking about things between him and the little troublemaker.

It seemed that their relationship had developed extremely fast.

Not long before, he had just confirmed his feelings, and now he had the idea of getting married and having children.

However, that didn't matter. After all, she was the only woman who had made him fall in love. No matter what happened, he would marry her, so it was only a matter of time.
