Suddenly, Long Yifan turned his head towards Mr. and Mrs. Gu. His eyes were firm though they were still wet.
"Uncle, Aunt," he said with determination, "please arrange our engagement right away. We cannot delay anymore."
Gu Jin's eyes widened. She pulled her hand slightly but he didn't let go. Her heart skipped as she looked towards her parents, hoping they would laugh and decline.
But to her shock, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu both nodded.
Mrs. Gu said softly, "Yes, Yifan is right. The engagement should not wait."
Mr. Gu's voice was serious. "It is for the best."
Gu Jin froze. "What? You agree?"
Her eyes widened at Long Yifan, who looked back at her with hope burning in his gaze.
Before she could protest further, the door opened and Gu Jihu entered. Behind him came Gu Ji. Both of them rushed inside.
When they saw her awake, their faces lit up with joy.
"Sister!" Jihu exclaimed. He hurried to her side and hugged her carefully, afraid to hurt her weak body.
