Chapter 729: A Daughter Should Be Like An Yiqing (1)
Because of that inexplicable text message, a day that was supposed to be full of joy subtly revealed a trace of mysterious tension. On one side, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin already had their calculations in place, while on the other, guests who had come to attend the engagement ceremony were already arriving one after the other.
Inside the banquet hall, Old Master An and Old Master Gu stood spirited in brand-new dark red robes, warmly welcoming guests at the main hall.
Such treatment surprised the distinguished guests. Who were Gu Zhongyi and An Muyun? The old commander of Xuanjin, the head of a century-old ancient martial arts family, and a renowned noble of Xuanjin. With such power and status, the fact that the two elders from the Gu and An families were personally receiving guests was proof enough of how much importance they placed on the betrothed couple, Gu Yelin and An Yiqing.
At this moment, Gu Yelin, dressed in a black suit, made his way from the direction of the resting room. His face remained expressionless, his demeanor cold as ever. But from his eyes, one could see the deep joy. However, what schemes lay buried in his heart were known only to him and An Yiqing.
"What is it? Did Xiao Qing seek you out for something?" Old Master Gu asked in a low voice when he saw Gu Yelin come out.
"Just a small matter," Gu Yelin said impassively.
He did not intend to tell the truth to Old Master Gu. Whether it be his own grandfather or Old Master An, they were both of advanced age, and it was better for them to stay happy during such a joyous occasion.
"Got it, as long as there’s nothing serious. If there’s any problem, you must talk about it. Today there are too many people coming, all of high status, and soon the higher-ups will arrive. You must be careful. Make sure there’s not a single glitch." Old Master Gu reminded him.
