"Have you finished wrapping up your business in the Capital?" Gu Zhentang struck up a casual conversation with Aran and Chu Hengyuan.
"Uncle Gu, everything has been taken care of. We came back this time for two reasons: first, Ranran missed you terribly while we were in the Capital; second, I, Zirui, have already obtained my father's permission to take Ranran as my wife. Since our family business is so vast that my father cannot leave the Capital, I have asked my maternal grandfather to make a special trip to Linhai Town to present the betrothal gifts on my behalf. He is already on his way." Chu Hengyuan broke the news to Gu Zhentang so that he could prepare himself, as his grandfather was bound to arrive either tomorrow or the day after.
Gu did not speak immediately. Instead, he kept his eyes on Aran, silently asking for her thoughts. Only if Aran agreed would he meet this young man's grandfather.
