In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

Grandpa Gu gave Lin Manman a gift, and Mother Gu took out a pair of large gold bracelets that she had prepared long ago, put them on Lin Manman's hands and said:

"This is what your uncle Gu and I prepared for you!"

Lin Manman also accepted it with a smile. She and Gu Yanting had a good relationship and were planning to get married, so she had no guilt about accepting the gift from the Gu family!

What's more, it's not like she doesn't want to give gifts to Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Gu.

Lin Manman celebrated her birthday at Gu’s house. Grandpa Gu personally called Lin’s father and asked him to come over quickly!

Although Father Lin was angry that Gu Yanting kidnapped his daughter as soon as he came back, he still had to give face to Grandpa Gu!

Lin Manman and Gu's mother were talking on the side, while Gu Yanting was talking to Grandpa Gu. Grandpa Gu asked Gu Yanting:

"You're back now, and you're old enough. When are you two going to hold your wedding?"

"Let me tell you, Manman is very popular in the compound. If those old guys hadn't known that Manman was our chosen daughter-in-law, the Lin family's door would have been visited by many people long ago. You better hurry up!"

Gu Yanting explained to Grandpa Gu:

"Grandpa, I'm going to the military academy for two years, so I'll be very busy. It's not fair to Manman to get married now!"

Grandpa Gu snorted:

"You sound as if you won't be busy after you graduate. Think carefully about it. Don't let your wife get kidnapped. You will have nowhere to cry when the time comes!"

"You are far worse than your elder brother in this respect. Look at your elder brother. As soon as he got old enough, he got stuck with your elder sister-in-law. Look how good he is now!"

Gu Yanting just smiled and said nothing, refusing to mention the matter.

Gu Yanting felt that he would be very busy in the next two years, and his brother had not had a child yet. Although his family was anxious, his brother and sister-in-law lived far away, and Grandpa Gu and Mother Gu could not urge them at all!

But he and Lin Manman are different. He is busy to begin with, and Manman is still with Grandpa Gu and Mother Gu. Once they get married, the pressure of having a baby will definitely fall on Manman!

Gu Yanting didn't want Lin Manman to give birth and take care of the child alone when he was too busy to accompany the child!

Moreover, Lin Man is indeed too young. Gu Yanting hopes to respect Lin Manman’s opinion on the matter of the two of them having a child!

Then there is Lin's father. He has just reunited with his daughter and he will definitely be reluctant to marry Lin Manman off!

Gu Yanting didn't mean that. No matter how dissatisfied Grandpa Gu was, it was directed at Gu Yanting!

So during the whole meal, when Grandpa Gu saw Gu Yanting, his expression was like the Sichuan Opera face-changing, and he didn't look happy at all!

After dinner, Gu Yanting shamelessly sent Lin Manman home.

Although Father Lin was reluctant, he did not stop him because Gu Yanting had just returned.

Lin's father and the other two went back by car, and Lin Manman and Gu Yanting strolled towards the Lin family's house.

Lin Manman asked curiously:

"Why was grandpa so rude to you today? You made grandpa angry!"

Gu Yanting smiled and said:

"My grandfather urged me to get married, but I said I was too busy and would wait until I graduated before getting married. He got angry!"

Lin Manman smiled and said:

"Oh, Captain Gu, what else is on your mind? Are you not in a hurry to get married?"

Gu Yanting touched Lin Manman's hair and said:

"Who am I doing this for? Some people don't have any sympathy at all!"

"I am anxious, but you are young, aren't you? If I propose marriage to you tonight, Uncle Gu Lin and Li Guoping will have to fight me out!"

Lin Manman said:

"Thank you for thinking so much about me and my family!"

Gu Yanting said pitifully:

"You just said thank you dryly, without any expression at all?"

Lin Manman looked at the serious-looking father standing not far away, and ran to him with a smile and said:

"Dad, come pick me up, let's go home!"

Gu Yanting stood there awkwardly and said:

"Uncle Lin, I'll go back first!"

Father Lin coughed and said:

"Come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you!"

Gu Yanting followed Lin's father and Lin Manman into the house obediently!

Father Lin asked Lin Manman to go back to her room to sleep, and then took Gu Yanting into the study.

Gu Yanting was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Father Lin did not embarrass Gu Yanting. He pointed to the chair opposite him and said:

"Sit down, don't be so nervous, I won't eat you!"

Gu Yanting sat obediently opposite Lin's father, who asked:

"I won't ask you about your specific mission or where you're going to carry it out. I know these are all confidential. You can't tell me!"

"I'm just asking you if this mission is dangerous?"

Gu Yanting nodded seriously and said:

"Very dangerous!"

Father Lin asked again:

"With your status, there will definitely be more dangerous missions like this. Don't promise me that you can protect yourself. It's not like I haven't been on a mission before. I know it too well!"

"Just tell me how you want to be responsible for my daughter!"

"If I say that I hope the person who marries my daughter is not a soldier, can you do it?"

Gu Yanting was silent for a while and said:

"Uncle Lin, Manman is just like me. I can't let go of him. I can't guarantee that I can come back safely every time, and I don't want to take off this outfit!"

"If Uncle Lin insists that the person who marries Manman is not of this status, then I want to continue dating Manman. If one day I am gone, it won't hinder Manman from finding a suitable person to marry!"

"If I'm lucky enough to wait until Manman turns 30, and I'm old enough to perform missions again, I'll give Manman a stable home!"

Father Lin didn't want Gu Yanting to give up his beloved career, he just wanted to see Gu Yanting's plans for the future.

Hearing that he was willing to wait until he was no longer able to carry out the mission before marrying Lin Manman, Lin's father was really satisfied!

Being able to withstand the pressure from home, take the feelings of the Lin family into consideration, and stick to his bottom line, Lin's father thinks Gu Yanting has done a great job!

Father Lin nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, your answer passed!"

"But remember your own words. My daughter can't marry you at the age of 18! She has to wait until she's 20 at least!"

In Lin's father's opinion, it is not too late to wait until he is 30 years old, but after all, Gu Yanting is already 25 years old, so it is not good to delay it too late!

Gu Yanting nodded in surprise and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"
