Chapter 693: when it comes to fighting, Gu Hongwei can’t beat her.
Tong Yao could tell from their intimate interaction earlier that they had made progress, so it didn’t surprise her at all to hear Gu Hongwei’s words now. It was a relief knowing that they had made progress in their relationship.
Si Chen was right, they really did need a push in the right direction.
Thinking about this, Tong Yao squinted her eyes and chuckled. "Finally you two are together! You two might not have been in a hurry, but those of us watching were. It’s a good thing you didn’t miss each other. Lovers finally get together. Miaomiao must be thrilled to hear this news."
Having heard her words, Gu Hongwei also smiled, "Before, I thought I had nothing and didn’t want to drag Jinnian down. I was afraid that if the business didn’t take off, it would ruin her life."
Gu Hongwei was in a different situation than others; he really had nothing. If it were just him, he could take risks without any psychological burden, but after starting a family, he would have reservations. This may be somewhat selfish thinking, but it’s indeed what he believed.
Having a wife could easily distract him.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jinnian quickly responded, "If I’m not scared, why should you be? I’m willing to face difficulties with you. We’ve suffered before, so we can start over if necessary. I don’t believe that the two of us, with our intelligence and courage, could end up starving. If it really comes to that, we can work in Yaoyao’s shop. We won’t go hungry."
Guo Jinnian doesn’t have a dependent mentality, but she knows that if one day she falls into poverty, Tong Yao would definitely help her, either by lending her some start-up funds or finding her a job.
