Chapter 234 Gu Baoxia's Marriage

Lu Yuanqing had long known that the educated youth would cause some emotional problems in the village.

Regardless of how diligently Ye Fang's son worked for the female educated youth, or whether Zhao Daya and Ren Jianhua were seen by others.

As more and more educated youth entered the village, they realized that after realizing there was no hope of returning to the city, they would choose to settle down in the village to avoid the hard farm work.

However, Lu Yuanqing never expected that Gu Baoxia would be one of them.

"Are you stupid or an idiot?" Lu Yuanqing was so incredulous that he blurted out the wrong thing.

He had no feelings for Gu Baoxia. Even though the two had been engaged, he could swear on his own fingers that he had no romantic feelings for Gu Baoxia whatsoever.

But no matter what, they've known each other for so long, and since they became colleagues, Gu Baoxia could be considered his half-apprentice.

But now you have to watch her do something stupid!

Gu Baoxia mimicked his manner, twirling the pen in her hand, clearly finding his actions somewhat amusing.

"Why are you so surprised? It's just that Wu Cisheng and I are getting married! I'm already being nice by telling you as soon as possible!"

Marrying a former educated youth was the real mistake!

Lu Yuanqing glared at her speechlessly.

What exactly are you thinking?

Seeing that the other party was trying to brush him off as he finished speaking, Lu Yuanqing's tone became more serious, "Tell the truth, don't try to fool me!"

Gu Baoxia straightened her body and her expression became serious. "That's it! Wu Cisheng wants to go back to the city, but something seems to have happened to his family. Even the monthly packages have stopped. Now, not only can he not go back, but it's safer for him to stay in the countryside."

Wu Cisheng was a person with no major flaws and no malicious intentions.

However, he is also someone who lacks assertiveness.

After being unable to contact his family, and even after receiving a letter telling him to stay in the countryside, he quickly realized that something must have happened at home.

So, forget about going back to the city.

Even staying in the countryside and marrying a girl from a good family background would ensure his safety.

Gu Baoxia was the person he chose.

Lu Yuanqing scoffed and mocked Gu Baoxia without any politeness: "You clearly knew he had ulterior motives, yet you were still willing to marry him. Have you lost your mind?"

Gu Baoxia wasn't angry at his mockery; instead, she asked curiously, "Why are you so angry?"

Could it be that he has feelings for her?

Gu Baoxia thought about it for a moment, then dismissed the idea a second later.

Lu Yuanqing rolled her eyes at her, "I just felt that you should have been a little smarter, but now that you're so stupid, I'm starting to think I was wrong about you!"

From the moment he inherited the original owner's memories, Lu Yuanqing knew that Gu Baoxia was no pushover.

But this intelligent woman has now made a foolish decision.

Gu Baoxia chuckled, "Why do you think I'm the one who lost out? If word got out, everyone would think I hit the jackpot!"

After all, it's true that at Gu Baoxia's age, in this day and age, most of the men people introduce to her are divorced.

Lu Yuanqing, who was also introduced as a widow remarrying, was speechless.

"I just haven't gotten used to this age yet. Is not being married some kind of terrible crime?"

Lu Yuanqing is a year older than Gu Baoxia.

But he's not even thirty yet. People keep calling him an old bachelor, and every time they mention his age, they make it sound like Lu Yuanqing is almost forty, which is really scary.

Every time Gu Baoxia talked to him about these things, a strange feeling would flash through her mind.

Sometimes I feel that Lu Yuanqing is Lu Yuanqing, and sometimes I feel that he is not him.

Especially when it comes to certain preconceived notions, his ideas often differ greatly from theirs.

"Let's not talk about that. You're welcome to come to the banquet!" Gu Baoxia wasn't one to take things too seriously; she just smiled and let bygones be bygones when she didn't understand something.

"Your mother is willing?" Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow!

If Lu Yuanqing was capable and helped the villagers make a lot of money, then Tian Xiaoju was satisfied with him as her future son-in-law in every way.

Lu Yuanqing, who broke off his engagement with Gu Baoxia for some reason and never contacted her again, became a forbidden zone for the Gu family.

Don't even mention it; just bringing it up will only fuel your anger.

Gu Baoxia had obviously thought of Tian Xiaoju's current attitude towards Lu Yuanqing, and couldn't help but smile, "That's true, we'll give you wedding candy, but don't even think about the banquet. Besides, if you go, what if everyone thinks you've moved on and rushes to introduce you to other people!"

Both of them tacitly understood the reason why they did not get married.

But now that Gu Baoxia is getting married, her public attitude is naturally to let go of Lu Yuanqing.

However, if Lu Yuanqing doesn't want to be constantly introduced to potential partners in the future, he'll have to continue playing the role of a devoted lover.

"Okay, I'll secretly give you a gift later!" Lu Yuanqing didn't mind.

After Gu Baoxia finished telling her story, a sense of curiosity arose. "No, so many pretty girls have their eyes on you, do you really not like any of them?"

Lu Yuanqing exclaimed in surprise, "What pretty girl likes me? Don't spread rumors!"

Gu Baoxia scoffed, "Come on, yes, you're getting on in years and young girls don't like you anymore, but it's not like no one cares about your age! Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

Gu Baoxia couldn't understand it. Lu Yuanqing was such a good catch. Even though his age was a major disadvantage, there were still many families who wouldn't mind, given his abilities.

But Lu Yuanqing just pretended to be deeply in love with her, and that even if they couldn't become family, he would stay by her side for life. Gu Baoxia was really speechless!

Unable to bear the stigma of being a hulijing for no reason, Gu Baoxia now only wants someone to take Lu Yuanqing in.

Lu Yuanqing adopted an air of superiority, giving him a look that said, "There are many meaningful things in life, not just getting married and having children. If you can't find someone who understands you perfectly, what's wrong with being single your whole life?"

Gu Baoxia: "You've got some ideas, haven't you!"

"That's right!" Lu Yuanqing tilted his head back proudly. "I thought you were like that too, but now it seems you just like to marry someone who's just good enough!"

Gu Baoxia wanted to refute, but suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

Disliking Lu Yuanqing's smug look, she said, "You guessed wrong. I've never said that I have to find someone I truly love before I get married! My goal has always been to find someone who listens to me in everything I say."

"Wu Cisheng has no opinions of his own. From the few times we've spent together, it seems he doesn't like to make his own decisions either. He listens to everything I say. Since that's the case, I've found someone I'm satisfied with, and there's nothing wrong with that!"

It's not that she hates marriage, it's just that she's always had her own goals for getting married!

Lu Yuanqing: "..." So that's how it is!
