Chapter 460 Proposal
"Jiaojiao, in every dream during those days of the ice and snow disaster, I dreamed of you as well as my family. I was very scared at the time, afraid that I would freeze to death and not be able to return to Beijing to see you, or that I would not be able to see you after returning to Beijing." Shangguan Ping'an held Guo Jiaojiao's hand and looked at her affectionately: "From that time on, I realized that my love for you was not out of gratitude, but pure love. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Guo Jiaojiao's face turned even redder, and she was restless in her heart. She kept thinking about Shangguan Ping'an's words, "I like you."
Shangguan Ping'an liked her and he expressed his feelings to her.
Guo Jiaojiao covered her mouth and tried hard to control her excitement. As early as when Shangguan Ping'an first came to Da'an Guo Temple and said that he would help her take care of the master, she guessed what Shangguan Ping'an was thinking. However, she thought that Shangguan Ping'an was too young at the time and was only being nice to her on a whim because he saved her life, so she said nothing.
A few years passed, and Shangguan Ping'an never expressed his feelings to her, which made her think that she was being too sentimental. Maybe Shangguan Ping'an didn't like her, but just treated her as a friend, an ordinary friend.
But now, Shangguan Ping'an said that he liked her.
"Shangguan Ping'an, I'm already in my twenties and an old woman who can't get married."
Shangguan Ping'an frowned and said, "Twenty-somethings are the prime of youth. How can you say old? I am the same age as you. Am I old too?"
Guo Jiaojiao shook her head: "That's not what I meant."
"You are not old at all." Shangguan Ping'an's voice suddenly became gentle: "Even if you are really old, in my heart, you will always be the youngest and most beautiful."
Guo Jiaojiao was silent for a moment.
Shangguan Ping'an continued, "Jiaojiao, I'm sincere. Will you marry me? After we get married, I will take you to travel the ocean. If you don't want to go to the sea, we can go somewhere else and do what you like."
Guo Jiaojiao raised her hand to cover his mouth: "Stop talking, I promise you."
"That's great!" Shangguan Ping'an hugged her excitedly: "You agreed to marry me, I'm so happy!"
In the room, Master Qingshuang suddenly woke up. Her eyes were clear, without any trace of madness.
Hearing the voice coming from the main hall, Master Qingshuang called out, "Jiaojiao, you're safe."
Shangguan Ping'an and the other person in the main room immediately quieted down and hurried to the room. Guo Jiaojiao was quite surprised to see that Master Qingshuang had woken up.
"Master, why are you awake? Did we disturb you?"
In the past, after Master fell asleep due to an illness, it would take at least five or six hours for him to wake up, but now only half an hour had passed.
Master Qingshuang looked at her and Shangguan Ping'an lovingly: "You two come here."
At this moment, Guo Jiaojiao finally discovered that something was wrong with Master Qingshuang. She walked over and looked at Master Qingshuang in surprise: "Master?"
Master Qingshuang looked at her lovingly and said, "Master is fine."
Master Qingshuang remembered everything. Not only did she recover her memory after waking up, but she also became normal again. She took Guo Jiaojiao's hand and put it in Shangguan Ping'an's hand, saying, "Master will not be sick again. Master remembers everything that happened when you were sick. Ping'an, I can see that you like Jiaojiao, so I will leave Jiaojiao to you. I hope you will not let her down and take good care of her."
Master Qingshuang said, "My dear disciple, Master is sorry for you. You have been busy taking care of Master these years and have delayed your marriage. You and Ping'an are a perfect match. With him taking care of you, Master can rest assured."
Guo Jiaojiao's lips trembled: "Master?"
For some reason, she always felt that her master's words were his last words.
"Master is a little hungry. Go and make him something to eat." Master Qingshuang drove the two out of the room.
Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao went to the kitchen with puzzled expressions.
Seeing them leave, Master Qingshuang got up from the bed, crawled under the bed, and pulled out a wooden box.
While eating, she handed the wooden box to Guo Jiaojiao: "This is the dowry that Master prepared for you."
Guo Jiaojiao opened it and saw a jade pendant inside.
Master Qingshuang said, "I haven't saved any money in these years, so I have nothing to give you. This jade pendant was left to me by my brother. I was afraid of losing it or damaging it, so I hid it under the bed while I was awake."
"Master, I can't accept such a valuable thing." Guo Jiaojiao said.
Master Qingshuang smiled and said, "I have no children, and I only have you as my disciple. All of Master's things are yours, but Master is not capable, so I can't leave anything for you. You must keep the jade pendant well and accept it."
Hearing this, Guo Jiaojiao no longer refused and accepted the jade pendant with joy: "Thank you, Master!"
Master Qingshuang smiled with satisfaction, looked at Shangguan Ping'an twice, then stood up and went back to the house.
After Master Qingshuang fell asleep again, Shangguan Ping'an said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he said, "I will arrange it as soon as possible and come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Proposing marriage cannot be done in Da'an Guo Temple, so Guo Jiaojiao and her apprentice will move out in advance. Whether it is proposing marriage or making an engagement, it will be held in the courtyard arranged for them by Shangguan Ping'an.
Shangguan Ping'an left Da'an Temple with great joy. He did not go home directly, but went to Pingshan Palace.
Shangguan Tang and his family are all in the mansion.
After not seeing his younger brother for two years, Shangguan Tang discovered that he had grown taller and stronger, and his appearance was also handsome.
Shangguan Tang looked at his brother and said, "It seems like you are living a comfortable life in Penglai Country."
Shangguan Ping'an said, "Sister, brother-in-law, let's not talk about what happened to me in Penglai Country. I came here today because I have something very important to tell you."
Shangguan Tang saw that he was so serious, so he asked curiously, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Nangong Jingxuan and his son also stared at Shangguan Ping'an.
Shangguan Ping'an curled his lips and said, "I want to marry Guo Jiaojiao."
Shangguan Tang's eyes widened in shock, Nangong Jingxuan frowned slightly, and Yun Ting asked curiously, "Who is Guo Jiaojiao?"
Shangguan Ping'an chuckled and said, "She is the woman your uncle wants to marry."
Yun Ting curled his lips: "What's the difference between this and no answer."
He asked Shangguan Tang directly:
"Mom, who is Guo Jiaojiao?"
Shangguan Tang said casually: "She is a good sister that mother hasn't seen for a long time."
After saying that, he excitedly asked Shangguan Ping'an: "Are you serious? Did Jiaojiao agree to this?"
Shangguan Ping'an nodded: "She agreed. I just came from her place."
"That's great!" Shangguan Tang was very happy: "I've always thought that you and Jiaojiao are a good match. Now it's good, you finally got it."
"Sister, Jiaojiao said she doesn't want a betrothal gift, but I feel like I can't not give it."
Shangguan Tang said: "We must give it, and give more. We must not let Jiaojiao down."
She pulled Shangguan Ping'an over to sit down and said, "Come, let's discuss the matter of marrying her."
Nangong Jingxuan and his son leaned over to listen in, but Shangguan Tang and his sister were talking so passionately that they couldn't get a word in.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Ping'an went to Da'anguo Temple to take Guo Jiaojiao and Master Qingshuang to the villa.
After Guo Jiaojiao and her husband rested in the villa for a night, Guan Tang and Xiao Jingxuan brought the matchmaker to propose marriage the next morning.
