C78 Marriage

At the dining table, the old mistress sat in the main seat while Gu Qinian and Ye Tian sat on the side.

At the table, other than the old mistress occasionally saying a few words, the rest of the time was very quiet.

Ye Tian had been lowering her head from the beginning to the end. She was much more honest than before, afraid that the old lady would think of something when she looked at her.

However, Murphy's Law was an iron existence.

The more she was worried about something, the more it would happen.

The old mistress put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth slowly. Then, she slowly opened her mouth.

"It's been three years since you two got married. It's time for you to have a child."

As the saying goes, if you don't start a fight, you won't stop. Ye Tian was immediately shocked. She was so shocked that she felt like she was being electrocuted. The soup stuck in her throat made her cough.

"Cough, cough …"

On the other side, Gu Qinian was as calm as ever. He raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his eyes and calmly handed her a piece of tissue.

Ye Tian took it and carefully looked at the old mistress while wiping her mouth.

"Grandma, didn't we already say this before? We still don't want a child …"

The old mistress immediately frowned in disagreement.

"When you two got married, it was fine if you didn't want a child. But now that you two have been married for a few years, it's reasonable to say that you should have a child."

Ye Tian looked at the old mistress's serious expression and didn't dare to say anything. She could only look at Gu Qinian for help.

At that time, Gu Qinian was still calmly eating his meal. His cheeks moved slightly.

Even though he was doing the simplest of actions, he was still noble and elegant.

However, Ye Tian was not in the mood to enjoy the show. She gave him a few meaningful glances, but he did not respond. She simply stretched out her leg and stepped on him.

Gu Qinian paused for a moment and looked up at her.

Look at your sister! Hurry up and think of a way!

Perhaps it was because her thoughts were too obvious, but the old lady suddenly spoke up, "Tian, don't you want it?"

Ye Tian's scalp went numb. She did not know how to answer.

This was why she was so afraid of this old lady.

Every time she came back, this old lady would always mention the child. She had never disobeyed her elders who were good to her, so every time she returned to the old residence, she was like facing a great enemy.

"I..."

She swallowed her saliva and quickly thought of a way to answer.

At this moment, Gu Qinian finally put down his chopsticks and looked up at the old lady.

"Grandma, Ye Tian is still young and her career has just started. So, we are not planning to have a child for the time being."

"Young?"

The old lady was obviously dissatisfied with this explanation. She frowned in displeasure.

"When I was her age, your father was already one year old. Besides, work and life should not be delayed."

Gu Qinian's words were rejected. His expression did not change as he continued, "I have discussed this with Ye Tian. She has something she wants to do, and I don't want her to shoulder more responsibilities too early. So, we will talk about the child two years later."

In other words, there was no need to discuss this matter anymore.

Hearing that, the old mistress narrowed her eyes with an unfriendly expression.

"Every time you use this kind of words to try and cover for me, is it because Tian doesn't want it or is it because you don't want it?"

Seeing that the old mistress was showing signs of getting angry, Ye Tian quickly forced herself to smooth things over.

"Grandma, it's me. It's true that I don't want it right now, so... so don't worry."

Hearing that, the old mistress looked at the two of them from head to toe with a straight face.

After a while, her expression was still unfriendly, but she finally relaxed.

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later."

Hearing that, Ye Tian immediately heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

This trial had finally passed.

However, in the next second, the old mistress spoke again, causing her heart to suddenly jump again.

"It's getting late tonight, so the two of you can rest here. I've already prepared the bedroom for you."

After saying that, she stood up and left without a word.

Ye Tian endured it for a while and finally couldn't help but gasp.

What did she mean by getting late? It was clearly only eight o'clock!

Grandma, if you want to matchmake someone, you should at least find an excuse that makes sense!

The food in front of her suddenly lost its fragrance. She ate the rice listlessly and didn't even bother to speak.

On the other side, Gu Qinian remained expressionless as if everything was within his expectations.

His eyes were filled with a faint smile as he looked at Ye Tian.

Perhaps even he himself didn't realize that under the light, his figure had a rare gentleness.

...

Walking into the bedroom, Ye Tian looked at the room that she had not been in for a long time and felt as if she had returned to the past.

Ever since she and Gu Qinian were drugged, everything had gone out of control. Her life had completely escaped her control.

After that, she never came here again.

Standing here, she suddenly felt as if she had been separated from the world.

She thought that Gu Qinian would also think of the past and ridicule her.

However, Gu Qinian was as calm as water. There was no coldness in his eyes. Instead, he could calmly ask.

"Do you want me to go first?"

Ye Tian looked at him pointing at the bathroom door. Her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Gu Qinian, you were abnormally silent today. Didn't you notice that Grandma was obviously trying to matchmake you?"

"I did."

"Then why didn't you resist?"

"Why should I resist?"

Ye Tian choked on his question. Her eyes were filled with suspicion.

"What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

What the hell? Didn't he hate me? Shouldn't he be the first to object? Why was he so obedient?

Gu Qinian ignored her doubt and asked instead, "What about you? Weren't you usually very eloquent? Why are you so honest today?"

Speaking up to this point, Ye Tian curled her lips resentfully.

"It's not like you don't know that I'm most afraid of your old lady. How would I dare to say no?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinian suddenly curled his lips. His calm face was filled with a bit of light.

"So you also fear her."

With that, he slowly took off his clothes.

"Since you also know the authority of my grandmother, you should know that resistance is useless. Moreover, it's a small matter like staying for a night. As a couple, what is there to refuse?"

His words were right, but the two of them were not husband and wife.

Ye Tian frowned slightly, but she didn't think about it anymore. She pointed at the bed and then the soft couch.

"I will sleep on the bed, and you sleep on the sofa. It's settled."

Hearing this, Gu Qinian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Why should you sleep on the bed?"

Ye Tian looked as if it was a matter of course as she raised her chin slightly.

"One, I'm an injured person. Two, I don't think you would be willing to lie on the same bed as me, so this is the best arrangement."

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Gu Qinian suddenly asked her a question.

"Who said that I don't want to lie on the same bed as you?"
