Chapter 70: Agreeing to a Marriage Proposal
As soon as Chu Kuo's parents came in, they went straight to Shen Zhuxi's bed with a smile on their faces and sat down, looking at her with eager joy in their eyes, eager to pull Shen Zhuxi to chat for three days and three nights.
"Xiaoxi, if Chu Kuo bullies you, you must tell us, you will be good in the future, and your uncle and I will rest assured. β
Mother Chu smiled with relief, looking at Shen Zhuxi's eyes were only full of love, they grew up watching Shen Zhuxi, and only lost contact after her mother died.
They used to wonder why there had never been a woman around Chu Kuo, and they thought that he was not interested in women, and he was in a hurry.
Now that I know the news of Chu Kuo's engagement to Shen Zhuxi, my heart is at ease.
Shen Zhuxi was confused by Chu Mu's words, what does it mean that she and Chu Kuo will be good in the future, she smiled awkwardly, and looked at Chu Kuo as if she was asking for help.
Chu Kuo covered his lips and coughed twice, and quickly pulled away from the topic, lest his parents mention the engagement later.
"Mom and Dad, if you have something to do, go back, Xiaoxi has me here. β
He looked a little flustered, and asked Chu's father and mother to go back, so as not to accidentally reveal his stuffing later.
Father Chu glared at him dissatisfiedly, looked at him seriously and said, "You drove us away just after we came, are you capable now?"
Mother Chu nodded in response, "Your father is right, we still have a lot to talk to Xiaoxi, don't rush us to go." β
Shen Zhuxi was not repulsed by the sudden arrival of Chu's father and Chu's mother, but felt quite happy, she could feel the concern of Chu's father and Chu's mother for her in his words.
But Chu's father and Chu's mother's attitude towards her was a little too enthusiastic, and she had some inexplicable doubts, but she couldn't ask them directly, so she could only hold them in her heart.
"Xiaoxi, when will your injury get better, this doesn't look light. β
Chu Mu looked at Shen Zhuxi's pale face as pale as paper worriedly, with a little distress and a little eagerness on her face.
Shen Zhuxi was so badly injured that the engagement banquet would definitely not be held in a short period of time.
Chu Kuo knew that Chu's father and Chu's mother must be eager for him and Shen Zhuxi to hold an engagement banquet as soon as possible, and then get married to fulfill their wishes.
But now he can't even say whether Shen Zhuxi will agree to his marriage proposal, and he hasn't considered the engagement banquet at all.
"Mom and Dad, you can go back, let Xiaoxi take care of her injuries, and talk slowly about anything after she recovers. β
Chu Kuo glanced at Shen Zhuxi, who was lying on the hospital bed a little cramped and uneasy, and hurriedly opened his mouth to urge Chu's father and mother to leave.
"Xiaoxi, then you can rest first, your uncle and I will leave first, we will help you prepare for the engagement, you can recuperate with peace of mind." β
Mother Chu was still a little uneasy and took Shen Zhuxi's hand and babbled instructed, but Shen Zhuxi was shocked by the word engagement in Mother Chu's words.
Father Chu glanced at Chu Kuo, and patted him on the shoulder as he left, "You must take care of Xiaoxi." β
Chu Kuo nodded, and promised without hesitation: "I will definitely take care of Xiaoxi." β
Thank you very no
Until Chu's father and Chu's mother left, Shen Zhuxi hadn't come to her senses, she turned her head sideways and looked at Chu Kuo, who was bowing her head weakly.
"What engagement? What did Auntie just say?"
Shen Zhuxi's face was puzzled, he didn't understand what the situation was at all, Aunt Chu just meant that she was engaged to Chu Kuo, this was absolutely impossible.
"I announced to the outside world that we are about to get engaged, if you can't accept it-" Before Chu Kuo finished speaking, Shen Zhuxi took the lead: "Well, I agreed." β
A handsome face flashed in Shen Zhuxi's mind, like obsidian eyes like a whirlpool. didn't think much about it, but then shook his head with a wry smile, and put down the last thought in his heart.
Anyway, she doesn't have any possibility with him now, why should she refuse Chu Kuo's marriage proposal, anyway, she is already dead, and it doesn't matter who she is with.
"Really?"
Chu Kuo looked at him in surprise, and asked again in disbelief, his fingers clenched tightly together, and he trembled slightly uncontrollably.
He thought that Shen Zhuxi would reject him, and even what kind of words she would say to reject him, he had already thought about it.
It's just that this time Shen Zhuxi's answer shocked him so much that his pupils dilated, and she really agreed to his proposal.
I was very excited, and I couldn't help but hug Shen Zhuxi, but I didn't notice Shen Zhuxi's resistant eyes.
"Don't doubt it, I've agreed, but my injuries haven't recovered yet, and I may not be able to hold an engagement banquet during this time. β
Only then did Shen Zhuxi understand the concerns in Chu's mother's words just now, but Chu Kuo didn't care about the engagement banquet at all now, and the whole person was very happy.
He walked around the ward, rubbing his hands excitedly, Shen Zhuxi saw him so happy, and the suppressed sadness in his heart seemed to ease a lot.
Shen Zhuxi was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, she was not happy, the engagement was like a not very important thing to her, and she couldn't arouse the slightest interest, she wanted to rest for a while now.
"I'm tired. β
Her tone was a little tired, and it was clear that she didn't want to talk to him any longer.
"Then I'll be with you outside, and call me at any time if I have any orders. "Seeking Chinese
Chu Kuo looked at her now, where was he willing to leave, he said without hesitation.
Shen Zhuxi was a little hesitant, Chu Kuo hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, and she couldn't look at him indifferently.
"You can find a place to sleep first, there are other people in the hospital to take care of me, you don't have to stay here. β
Shen Zhuxi said helplessly, didn't Chu Kuo feel tired at all?
Chu Kuo was now in Xingtou, and he was not affected by Shen Zhuxi's words, and asked her to rest with a smile, and then looked at her somewhat worried eyes, and promised her that she would have a good rest.
"You take care of her, and if anything happens to her, I'll throw you out. β
He turned his head and ordered the new servant, because the servant casually belittled Shen Zhuxi, Chu Kuo dismissed her without hesitation.
After the newly replaced servant heard about this, he already knew that Shen Zhuxi was not something that could be easily offended, it was the person who Chu Kuo favored in the palm of his hand.
She lowered her head and nodded tremblingly, "Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the young lady." β
When Chu Kuo heard the title of young lady, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, this servant was obviously much more clever than the previous servant.
"Then you have a good rest, I'll go back, and I'll come back to see you in the hospital tomorrow." β
Chu Kuo lasted for a day, and he was still a little tired at the moment, anyway, no one knew Shen Zhuxi's whereabouts, so he could also take the opportunity to take a rest, and come over tomorrow to discuss other matters of engagement with Shen Zhuxi.
After he got out of the ward, he made no secret of his joy.
He really wants to tell Gu Huaizuo the news now, let him know that Xiaoxi will be his upright fiancΓ©e in the future, and let him die of this heart.
Chu Kuo returned home with a spring breeze on his face, stayed in the living room, and asked the maid to bring a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet at home.
"Bring me the wine at the bottom. β
At the bottom are some rare good wines on the market, usually Chu Kuo is reluctant to take it out and drink it, the maid looked at Chu Kuo with some surprise, and couldn't understand what Chu Kuo was stimulated.
"Go ahead, don't bother. β
Chu Kuo still had a little smile on his face, Shen Zhuxi's words just now were still echoing in his ears, she didn't hesitate, and directly agreed to his proposal.
He couldn't help laughing, and when the maid brought the wine, she saw Chu Kuo smiling stupidly looking at Miss Shen's room upstairs.
"Sir, this is the wine you want. β
The maid placed the wine on the coffee table one by one, and Chu Kuo waved his hand impatiently, "You go down first." β
He wanted to drink alone now and celebrate well, and the joy brought by the successful marriage proposal made him naturally ignore Shen Zhuxi's emotionless expression.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gu Huaizuo and his assistant arrived at the airport.
The people they sent out investigated for a long time and learned that Shen Zhuxi was now being treated in the hospital on this island.
Gu Huaizuo hadn't slept for several days, his eyes were thick blue and black, and the whole person looked a little depressed against the backdrop of the night.
"Do you think she's really going to put me down?"
His voice was a little hoarse, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he sighed lowly, all of this was caused by him, no wonder Shen Zhuxi.
The assistant glanced at Gu Huaizuo's tense body uneasily, guessing that he must be very nervous now, so he could only try his best to comfort him.
"Miss Shen must still have you in her heart, as for the engagement, it must be a last resort, don't be angry. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had mentioned the word engagement again.
Since Gu Huaizuo learned about Chu Kuo's engagement to Shen Zhuxi three days ago, he seemed to have completely lost his mind, and he couldn't control his situation at all.
Everyone up and down the company was implicated, especially him, who was deducted from his salary for three months just by accidentally mentioning the matter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. β
The assistant hurriedly apologized to Gu Huaizuo, and Gu Huaizuo shook his head indifferently.
What he was thinking about now was what he should say when he saw Shen Zhuxi, and other things were no longer worth mentioning to him.
Shen Zhuxi couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, her wound was faintly painful, and her heart was also depressed, she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that she agreed to Chu Kuo's marriage proposal.
She sighed, stared at the white ceiling of the hospital with her eyes open, and her thoughts drifted farther and farther until the faint sound of the door opening.
Shen Zhuxi thought that Chu Kuo had come back in the middle of the night, because the servant had slept in the bed next to her, she frowned helplessly, and just wanted to ask him why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the hospital.
But she never thought that the person who came in was not Chu Kuo, but the person she deliberately forgot and buried in her heart.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Zhuxi's tone was detached, but his voice was still a little imperceptible.
