The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 116 What to do if you suddenly don't want to get married?

"Oh, Qinghe is back too!"

"Auntie's business is booming."

"You came with your boyfriend? Are you two getting married?"

Gao Qinghe smiled but didn't say anything, while Jiang Baohai nodded in a serious manner, "Soon."

The gossip group at the entrance of the convenience store instantly became excited.

"Secretary Zhou is engaged and they're planning to hold the wedding banquet at the end of the month. They said the teachers will only be available during the summer vacation. When are you planning to hold the banquet? It'll be quite a lively occasion with both a wedding and a wedding in our village."

Everyone gave Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai a look that said, "You guys need to hold on too."

Before Gao Qinghe could say anything, Jiang Baohai interrupted, "It's being arranged."

"Arrange what?!" Gao Qinghe quietly tugged at Jiang Baohai's sleeve, "Shut up."

But Zhou Zhenghua is engaged?

Gao Qinghe really didn't expect him and Ouyang Yan to act so quickly.

According to the timeline of their previous life, Zhou Zhenghua and Ouyang Yan held their wedding in December 89.

I never imagined it would happen so much earlier than expected in my lifetime.

But what does that have to do with her?

Gao Qinghe shrugged, her expression indifferent.

After greeting everyone and exchanging a few polite words, I continued walking home.

There was no sound behind her. When she turned around, she found Jiang Baohai staring at her with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see something out of her face.

"What are you looking at?" Gao Qinghe touched her face suspiciously.

Jiang Baohai thought to himself, "I wonder if you'll be sad to hear that your old flame is getting married."

But he said, "It's nothing."

Thankfully he said it was nothing, otherwise Gao Qinghe would have definitely made him pay. She gets jealous over everything, it's so annoying.

"Keep up!" she urged him as she strode forward, skipping and hopping, calling out even before they reached the doorway.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma! Your baby is back!"

The Gao family, who had been waiting at home for a long time, all stood up at once.

Jiang Baohai looked at the person who was happily jumping around with empty hands, then looked down at himself covered in clothes and gloves, and sighed, "My life is really miserable."

Resigned to her fate, she carried her and a large pile of her own belongings into the Gao family home.

Gao Qinghe called home yesterday, and her whole family knew she was coming back today and were waiting for her at home.

"sister!"

Gao Qingya was the first to rush out and give her older sister a big bear hug, almost pinning Gao Qinghe to the ground.

Jiang Baohai, who was behind her, raised his hand and nudged her back, preventing the two sisters from falling to the ground.

"Be careful, you're so clumsy!"

Huang Ying gave her youngest daughter a warning in a bad mood, then turned to her eldest daughter and future son-in-law, and instantly broke into a big smile.

Gao Qingya said softly, "I just missed my older sister so much. I'll be more careful next time."

"Xiao Jiang, you're here too! Look at you, you came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff? Didn't I tell you not to be so polite last time, but you wouldn't listen!"

As soon as Grandma Tian arrived, she walked towards Jiang Baohai. Gao Qinghe reached out to hug her grandmother, wanting to express her longing.

The old lady reached out her hand twice before finally shifting her gaze from Jiang Baohai to her.

Gao Qinghe was unhappy and twisted her body while hugging the old lady, "Grandma, don't you want your baby anymore? Don't you miss me at all!"

Grandma Tian dared not offend this little darling, and hurriedly said, "How could that be? You are the apple of my eye. I knew you were coming back, so I picked all your favorite vegetables first thing this morning."

"Xiao Jiang, please stay for dinner tonight," Gao Chongyi said warmly. Jiang Baohai stepped forward, giving Huang Ying the donkey-hide gelatin and Maotai he had brought, Gao Chongyi the inkstone and ink, Old Lady Tian the ginseng, and Gao Qingya the Zhonghua tea.

The previous two times I came, the seaweed from Jiangbao wasn't cheap either, but it wasn't as formal and expensive as this time.

Each person received their own portion, clearly chosen specifically according to individual preferences.

Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying exchanged a glance, already understanding each other, and couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

Objectively speaking, Jiang Baohai is more than a match for their daughter.

Furthermore, since the two young people were also interested in each other, marriage was a natural progression.

Having prepared himself, Jiang Baohai directly stated the purpose of his visit during dinner.

"Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Qinghe and I have known each other for a while now, and I think we are a perfect match. So I thought I would come here to ask for your opinions and set a wedding date for Qinghe and me."

When Gao Qinghe came back today, she had already guessed that he was going to talk about this.

But she was still a little surprised when Jiang Baohai told her about the marriage.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason; I felt a little dazed and hesitant.

The Gao family had no objections; they just felt that Jiang Baohai's timing in bringing it up was perfect.

Grandma Tian couldn't wait to hold the wedding banquet for the two of them tomorrow, so that the three women next door, the Zhong family, would stop showing off in front of her every day.

He just managed to coax a city girl back home, but he can't afford the bride price. I heard the girl's parents are strongly against it. If their daughter hadn't gone on a hunger strike, the marriage wouldn't have happened at all. What's so great about that?

In her opinion, that city girl was also driven mad by teaching; instead of having plenty of good young men in the city, she insisted on coming to this rural place, Shanghe Village, to suffer.

Grandma Tian gave her eldest granddaughter a satisfied look.

Her daughter is smart; she knows how to aim higher.

“Baby, Xiao Jiang has already said so, and your parents agree. Why don’t you tell us your thoughts?”

Grandma Tian beckoned to Gao Qinghe, who was standing to the side lost in thought, to sit next to her.

Jiang Baohai also looked at her, a faint smile on his face, his eyes confident and determined.

He didn't believe Gao Qinghe disagreed.

She was so happy when he took the initiative to talk to her on their first blind date that she brought her household registration book with her.

Gao Qinghe looked at her grandmother. The old lady had a gentle smile and a loving expression that showed she would support whatever she said.

Looking at his parents, the couple were both looking at Jiang Baohai, their faces clearly saying, "We agree to this marriage."

Only the younger sister, her eyes filled with fear, clung tightly to her sister's clothes, as if her older sister was about to run away with someone else.

Gao Qinghe moved her lips, but hesitated to speak.

Jiang Baohai didn't get the "I do" he wanted, and his relaxed brows gradually furrowed.

Grandma Tian noticed that her granddaughter's reaction was a bit off, and nudged her with her elbow, saying, "Xiao Jiang is waiting for your reply."

Gao Qinghe swallowed hard. "Um, what should I do if I suddenly don't really want to get married?"

No joke.

The moment she uttered those words, everyone in the Gao family's main room seemed to have been put on pause, completely stunned.

Gao Qinghe looked up at the sky guiltily.

She admitted that she did initially want to get married.

Getting rich quick through marriage is the easiest way.

But wasn't it Jiang Baohai himself who was ungrateful and refused?
Now that she has money and free time, and her beloved family is all around her, she doesn't seem to have such an urgent need to get married anymore.

Besides, Jiang Baohai's mother died in her previous life, so she had no mother-in-law to care for her after she married into the family. She couldn't be happier.

This life will be different. Although she was confident that she could handle Jiang Baohai's mother, wouldn't it be easier to get married two years later?
