Chapter 727: I’m Buying Ten Meat Buns
Guo Jinnian didn’t respond immediately, "Why are we giving out candy?"
"Don’t you want everyone to know about our relationship?" Gu Hongwei said, "I didn’t propose to you in grand fashion, nor did I confess my feelings in a ceremony. As we are going public with our relationship at the company, we should do it right, shouldn’t we?"
He looked at Guo Jinnian, "Jinnian, I’ve let you down too many times these years, making you wait for so many years. Maybe I am like Chen in the way that we are not good at expressing ourselves and tend to internalize our emotions. But, like him, I also have a heart that loves my wife and my family. My mother died early, my father is also gone, and you know about the relationship I have with my relatives. So, from now on, you are the closest person to me. The reason why I want you to not act impulsively is because I am afraid you will get hurt."
His heartfelt words left Guo Jinnian at a loss.
This sudden confession made Guo Jinnian blush red and feel uncomfortable. She grumbled, "Why are you being so emotional all of a sudden? I’m not used to it."
Being used to hanging out with boys and acting carefreely made it hard for Guo Jinnian to express her happiness. She quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, right. I came to tell you about the house. Yaoyao and I have found a house, made a deposit, and once you are done with your work in the next couple of days, let’s go have a look. The house we are going to live in after we get married, you have to like it too."
"As long as you like it, I don’t mind where we live," Gu Hongwei said, "Any place with you and our children will be home."
Guo Jinnian was completely won over by Gu Hongwei’s sweet words, she was so happy that she could hardly tell north from south.
The two of them spent the whole day together until dark before they left work together.
