100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 536: Then Let Go of My Hand!

"It’s okay, your friends are my friends. As long as you trust them, I trust them too."

Xiaoqiao was so touched, "Hubby, you’re the best!"

Her praise made him feel more accomplished than if he’d completed a challenging task.

Although silence is golden, sometimes openly expressing one’s feelings for a loved one can be a wonderful thing.

Xiaoqiao then asked, "Oh, by the way, how are things with your parents?"

"I’ve explained everything to them. Are you free this weekend evening? I’ve arranged for everyone to have dinner together."

"I’m free as a bird these days, available anytime." Xiaoqiao shrugged and then glanced at the time, "It’s getting late, you should head back and rest too!"

Gu Hangshen: "Mhm."

Xiaoqiao: "Then I’ll head in first, okay!"

Gu Hangshen: "Mhm."

Xiaoqiao: "Good night!"

Gu Hangshen: "Good night."

Xiaoqiao: "..."

Xiaoqiao’s expression crumbled as she looked at him, having said goodnight, yet he was still tightly holding her hand. She couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "You have to let go of my hand!"

The next moment, he pulled her into his embrace. His voice, hushed and hoarsely low because of the restraint, was so captivating, "I don’t want you to leave."

Xiaoqiao felt warmth flooding her heart, "We have a whole lifetime to spend together in the future!"

Outside the Gong family’s old mansion.

Gu Hangshen had been circling near the mansion but just couldn’t bring himself to enter the doors.

Grandfather Gong of course knew he was outside and pretended he didn’t exist. At last, unable to bear it any longer, he walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Go back home! Coming here several times won’t change anything. I won’t agree to entrust Xiaoqiao to you! Having someone like you standing at my gate playing the guard is more than I can handle."

"Great-grampy, let Daddy come in, please! Daddy looks so pitiful..." Xiao Nian ran over at some point, her little face filled with pity.

Grandfather Gong’s face immediately softened, "Come here, sweetheart. Great-grampy has prepared some delicious treats for you!"

Compared to treats, of course, Daddy was more important. Xiao Nian wanted to say more, but remembering what Mommy had told her, she held back.

Mommy had said that today, under no circumstances should she upset Great-grampy.

So Xiao Nian let herself be led away, looking back every three steps.

Gu Hangshen sighed from behind, resigned to return to his car and drive a bit further away.

He had thought love was just a matter between two people, that it was enough for him to be wholeheartedly devoted to her, but now he truly understood the pain Xiaoqiao had felt when she was disliked by his family.

He was confident about winning over the other members at home, whom he had already planned for, but this old man proved to be a tough nut to crack.

Grandfather Gong was usually very amiable, but when it came to Xiaoqiao’s matter, he wouldn’t budge an inch, leaving Gu Hangshen utterly without a solution.

This standoff had been going on for several days now, and even with Xiao Nian’s coquettish charm, Grandfather Gong had somehow managed to resist without being swayed.

Right now, Xiao Nian listlessly eyed a pile of colorful cakes, although her gaze kept stealing glances at Daddy outside the courtyard. It was only when his car was out of sight that she sadly lowered her little head in defeat.

Xiao Nian pondered hard, thinking, ah, Daddy has made great-granddad angry! What could she do to make great-granddad’s anger subside?

Grandfather Gong sat in his wicker chair, watching the child with a sense of pity, then glanced at Gu Hangshen who had only parked the car farther away but hadn’t left, his expression revealing a contemplative look.
