Chapter 307: Chapter 306: The Proposal (6) Chapter 307: Chapter 306: The Proposal (6) In the evening, everyone gathered for a meal and after it ended, Qi Yue took Gu Huai back to the old stadium to the Fencing Gym.

While taking out protective gear from the locker, Qi Yue started, “Hey, I promised to teach you fencing three years ago, and it’s just been delayed till now!”

Gu Huai took the helmet and protective gear handed over by Qi Yue and said, “It’s alright, we’ll have lots more time together in the future.”

Qi Yue nodded with a smile, “That’s right!”

As they were talking, there came a series of footsteps with the sound of slippers from the storage area.

A man’s voice lazily called out, “We’re closed, we’re closed! Who is it? Who comes this late?”

Qi Yue immediately called out happily, “Second Uncle!”

At the sound of Qi Yue’s voice, a sleepy-eyed Qi Qianli suddenly opened his eyes sharply and looked penetratingly towards Gu Huai standing beside Qi Yue.

Qi Qianli hummed, “Oh, it’s you two! You came just at the right time, I was just looking for you!”

Qi Yue, “Ah? Second Uncle, did you need us for something?”

Qi Qianli ignored Qi Yue and looked sternly at Gu Huai, “You, come over here, I have something to ask you.”

Qi Yue and Gu Huai exchanged glances, puzzled and unsure of what was happening.

Gu Huai gave Qi Yue a reassuring look and then followed Qi Qianli into the rest room.

A moment later, the three of them sat down on the couch in the rest room.

Scratching his head, Qi Yue asked, “Second Uncle, what’s the matter exactly?”

Qi Qianli’s expression was serious, “Don’t interrupt.”

After saying that, he turned to Gu Huai and asked, “Gu Huai, I want to ask you, did you propose to this girl today?”

Qi Yue, “Uh…”
Gu Huai, “…”
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Qi Qianli took their silence as an affirmation and addressed Gu Huai, “Although you’ve been in a relationship for three years, you have spent almost half of that time in a long-distance relationship, barely meeting each other. Isn’t it too rash to rush into marriage under these circumstances?”

Qi Yue hadn’t expected that even Qi Qianli would know about this.

But it wasn’t surprising, since he was more familiar with this venue than his own home, someone must have told him.

Only, why couldn’t he get the full story right?

Before Gu Huai could open his mouth to speak, Qi Yue jumped in front to defend, “Second Uncle, it’s true we’ve been in a long-distance relationship, but we’ve also been together for three years, and that’s not a short time! You shouldn’t just count the time we’ve met in person! Besides, the village chief already spoke to me a few days ago, and next month I will be transferred to work at the Agricultural Science Institute in City A, which is not far from where Gu Huai works. We’re settling down now, so what’s wrong with considering marriage at this point?”

Qi Qianli, seeing how Qi Yue ardently defended Gu Huai, became so annoyed his mouth nearly twisted, “You brat! I haven’t even said much yet, and you’re protecting him like this! Can’t you be more ambitious! I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. Can your Second Uncle harm you?”

Qi Yue’s mouth twitched slightly, “Second Uncle, if it’s anything else, I won’t argue, but when it comes to love… I think… I would rather make my own decisions…”
Qi Qianli’s face darkened, “Hey! You girl…”
Before Qi Qianli could finish, Qi Yue quickly added, “Also, Second Uncle, why can’t you get the full story right? Yes, we did propose today, but it wasn’t Gu Huai who proposed to me, it was me who proposed to him!”

Qi Qianli, “Cough cough cough cough…”
As soon as Qi Yue finished speaking, Qi Qianli, who was drinking tea, accidentally scalded his mouth and with a shake of his hand, he spilled most of the tea.
