My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 770: Gu Ningyi, Marry Me (8)

Madam Gu’s heart skipped a beat, her expression suddenly flustered. Although she tried to suppress it, the slight tremble of her body betrayed her emotions.

She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something in her own defense, but couldn’t find the words for a moment.

Gu Ningyi got up from the sofa, his long legs stepping lightly, and walked to her. He fixed his dark eyes on her face for a moment, then parted his thin lips and said, "Mom, three strikes and you’re out. You’ve tried once, twice, using tactics to break me and Xinyan apart, but there won’t be a third time."

"Xinyan and I are already married; she is the only wife I will have in this life. Either you accept this marriage and gain a daughter-in-law, or you continue to oppose it and lose me as a son."

-

Gu Ningyi came down the spiral staircase, and Dong Xin Yan stood up instinctively.

He walked towards her, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear, "Let’s go." Then he led her towards the door.

Dong Xin Yan followed him passively for a few steps before she belatedly asked, "Are we just leaving like this? What about Madam..."

Gu Ningyi shot a sidelong glance at Dong Xin Yan, and she immediately corrected herself, "I mean, how is Mom? What did you talk about?"

Gu Ningyi didn’t answer her, just led her out of the house, towards the car, opened the passenger door for her, helped her in, then walked around to the driver’s seat, got in, started the engine, and drove off.

After the car drove for a while, Dong Xin Yan looked sideways at him, bit her lower lip lightly, and couldn’t help but ask again, "Gu Ningyi, what did you and Mom talk about?"

What was said?

Gu Ningyi glanced at Dong Xin Yan softly and spoke faintly, "I told her that you would be my only wife in this life, and we would rely on you to have children. If she doesn’t accept you as a daughter-in-law, then she won’t have grandchildren to hold."

"...," Dong Xin Yan glared at him playfully, "Can’t you be serious?"

"How is that not serious? That’s the most serious thing!" Gu Ningyi replied with conviction.

After a pause, he slightly curled his lips, his voice lowering slightly, "So, Dong Xin Yan, if you want to gain Mom’s approval, you better work hard."

"...,"

Gu Ningyi looked at Dong Xin Yan, observing her lively and beautiful profile, the smile at the corner of his lips growing deeper.

Some things, he would never let her know; the past hurt, and now, in the future, he would shield her from it. His girl only needed to be happy and joyful.

-

No one knew what Gu Ningyi said to Madam Gu that day, but she didn’t hold out for long before she relented. Although she still didn’t treat her warmly, she tacitly approved of her marriage with Gu Ningyi.

Dong Xin Yan arranged a time and took Gu Ningyi home to meet with Mr. Dong.

Gu Ningyi, such a flamboyant and high-spirited man, behaved obediently and respectfully in front of Mr. Dong. Whatever Mr. Dong said, he obliged; chatting, playing, and drinking with him, and by the end of half a day, Mr. Dong couldn’t stop praising his son-in-law.

The hurdle with the father-in-law passed smoothly.

On the way back, Dong Xin Yan recalled Gu Ningyi’s earlier performance and couldn’t stop laughing the whole way.

Gu Ningyi shot her a glance, then another, then a third, his handsome face gradually growing stern, "Dong Xin Yan, try laughing again!"

Dong Xin Yan tried hard to stop herself from laughing, but seeing his face, she burst into laughter again.
