100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 156: The Person I Want to Protect_1

"Xiaoqiao, I advise you to think thrice before acting," Gu Hangshen said. "After all, I am the old man’s only son. The Gong family empire was built by his own hands. If something happens to me, if the Gong family falls, the shock to the old man will be far more serious than what happened today. My Xiaoqiao is so filial, surely you can’t bear to have him worry at his old age!"

"I’ll give you an answer in three days," Gong Xiaoqiao said, struggling to suppress her nausea, then turned and left.

What should she do?

There, she found the person she hated the most, yet also the one she loved the most...

The one she wanted to take revenge on, and the one she wanted to protect...

Such a dilemma.

Gong Xiaoqiao sat in the hospital room, quietly caring for her grandfather lying on the bed, and suddenly, she understood.

Even if she had to give up everything, it didn’t matter, as long as her grandfather was all right.

She realized that for the sake of love, one could let go of hatred.

...

When Gong Xiaoqiao went to find Gu Hangshen, they were still at work.

Without an appointment, she loitered outside the company building, contemplating how she would talk to Gu Hangshen.

"Eh? Why is there a primary school student hanging around our company?" Tang Yu glanced at the small, huddled figure in powder blue from a distance.

"Could it be one of my fans?" Shen Letian stroked his chin.

Tang Yu and Sheng Yu gave Shen Letian a disdainful look.

Leng Tou glanced at Gu Hangshen, who had already put the documents in his hand onto Leng Tou’s, then hurried over.

"Xiaoqiao...?" Gu Hangshen called out uncertainly.

Gong Xiaoqiao had actually come to the company to find him, and Gu Hangshen was obviously a bit slow to react.

Gong Xiaoqiao quickly stood up and turned around.

"Yo! Little fox, what a rare visitor!" Shen Letian exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Gong Xiaoqiao walk in.

"Ah..." Tang Yu was dumbfounded. "Xiaoqiao’s dress sense has once again radically refreshed her childish record!"

Gong Xiaoqiao ignored the four of them, "Gu Hangshen, I need to talk to you."

"What is it? Why didn’t you just call me?" Gu Hangshen asked gently.

"Um, it’s something I must say in person." Gong Xiaoqiao stood in place, looking down, continuously drawing circles with one foot.

Gu Hangshen: "You tell me."

Gong Xiaoqiao: "I want to talk to you alone."

Shen Letian was unhappy, "Why so secretive about it? We want to hear too! Don’t be so stingy, little fox!"

Gong Xiaoqiao glared at him angrily, "What does it have to do with you when I’m proposing to Gu Hangshen?"

Upon hearing this, all five of them were petrified.

"...What?" Gu Hangshen looked quite stricken.

"Gu Hangshen, I’ll marry you, or you marry me," Gong Xiaoqiao said, internally chiding herself for blurting it out without any of the buffer dialogues she had prepared.

"Xiaoqiao, are you serious?" Gu Hangshen frowned at her.

"Yes." Gong Xiaoqiao nodded resolutely, as firmly as when she had rejected him from the start.

"Why?" Gu Hangshen asked.

She had categorically stated just a few days ago that she would never be together with him. Why had she changed her mind so quickly?

"No reason," Gong Xiaoqiao bit her lip.

"Since you’re proposing to me, I won’t quibble over your lack of preparation. But at the very least, I need a reason for your sudden change of heart. Surely you have that much sincerity, right?"

"Gu Hangshen, why must you ask when you already know the answer!" Gong Xiaoqiao looked at him angrily.

"Ask when I already know?" Gu Hangshen furrowed his brows.
