Gu Qingxue's breathing was a little heavy, and her gaze as she looked at Li Donghan flickered! She never thought that he was her fiancé!
Perhaps Gu Qingxue had indeed harbored some fantasies just now and felt that Li Donghan was not bad! If only her fiancé, whom she had never met, could be like Li Donghan.
Because of this, Gu Qingxue felt uncertain and even a little afraid of the future. She knew that after she left, she would never see Li Donghan again.
Although Gu Qingxue had studied in America and had accepted some western ideas, she was still a very traditional woman.
Therefore, she decisively cut off the feelings that had just appeared and had yet to overflow. She resolutely walked towards the unknown and accepted the responsibility that women in this era had to bear.
However, the servant girl Xiao He's words caused a drastic change in Gu Qingxue's heart. It turned out that the man she had just met was actually her fiancé.
Although she did not have a deep understanding of Li Donghan, Gu Qingxue could tell from her meeting with him that this man was not ordinary.
Even Gu Qingxue, who had seen American society, could not find anything to criticize about her appearance, temperament, and manner of speech!
In this era of China, there were not many men like this! It was also Gu Qingxue's ideal standard. Although it was not love at first sight, she still had a good impression of Li Donghan.
Now that she knew that Li Donghan was her fiancé, Gu Qingxue felt as if something had landed in her heart.
Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on Gu Qingxue's exquisite face, and her nervousness disappeared.
He was no longer so afraid of the future, nor was he so resistant to the so-called feudal marriage!
All of this was because her fiancé was the man in front of her! Gu Qingxue suddenly wanted to know more about him!
At this moment, the butler also saw Li Donghan's presence and was a little surprised. He did not hear the old lady of the Li family say that the son-in-law was coming to pick up the young miss today!
However, he still had a slightly surprised expression on his face as he said,"It really is son-in-law. It seems that he heard that miss had returned and specially came to visit!”
"Young Master has always been busy with military affairs and rarely has time. I still feel sorry for Miss ~" The butler said with a light smile.
She was also putting in a good word for Li Donghan. Although Li Donghan did not look like he was here to pick up Gu Qingxue, she could not say that!
She had to put in a good word for Li Donghan in front of Gu Qingxue. After all, Gu Qingxue's parents were extremely satisfied with this marriage.
The Li family was originally a prestigious family in Huacheng. They had been officials for generations, and Li Donghan's father was even an official to the rank of assistant minister of the Ministry of War!
Although the Gu family was not bad and had a lot of money, it was still half a level lower than the Li family. Therefore, they were very concerned about this marriage. They were only waiting for the two of them to return from studying abroad before getting married.
This mentality became even stronger after Li Donghan became a 98-year-old general. A 20-year-old general and a third-grade military officer, everyone knew that his future was limitless.
Even with Li Donghan's current status in Eastern Guangdong, he was still very important because he had thousands of new elite soldiers in his hands.
All these years, there had been a lot of talk about the Republic, and the situation was extremely chaotic. No one knew what their fate was.
Even if you were rich, you would instantly turn into nothingness. Even if you were a first-grade official, you would lose your head. Only with an army in your hands could you survive in this chaotic world!
Everyone knew that the new army's combat power was far superior to the old army. In the current eastern Guangdong, Li Donghan was the only new army.
Therefore, no one could ignore Li Donghan's importance. The Gu family naturally wanted to be closer to the Li family. Therefore, before Gu Qingxue graduated, they hurriedly called her back to complete the wedding.
The butler naturally had to put in a good word for Gu Qingxue. He did not want her to lose her temper and cause a ruckus.
However, Gu Qingxue could not be fooled by the butler's words. From the way Li Donghan was talking to that man, she knew that he was definitely not here to pick her up.
She looked at the butler with disdain and snorted."Don't lie to me. I don't even exist in this person's heart! Today is the day I return to China, but he actually turned a blind eye to me!”
The butler's expression was a little awkward, and he was also blaming Li Donghan in his heart. It's fine if you don't come to pick up Miss, but just stay in the military camp!
However, they were already here, but it was not for Gu Qingxue. It made them feel helpless!
In reality, Li Donghan really did not know that Gu Qingxue was coming back today. Although he knew that he had long been engaged, as that matter got closer and closer, he was not sure whether he would be able to get married or not.
Li Donghan spent most of his time in the military camp and had not been home for more than a week. Naturally, he did not know about Gu Qingxue.
Meeting Jiang Fangzhen was a complete accident. What a coincidence!
The butler could only explain to Gu Qingxue awkwardly,""Maybe it's because son-in-law is busy with military affairs, so some negligence is inevitable!”
"You have to know that the current son-in-law is incredible. He is already a third-grade official and has even become the new army's standard commander. He has several thousand people under him! I heard that the son-in-law's official position will be promoted again recently! That would be the unification!"
"Even the governor has to give face to son-in-law. His future is boundless! Moreover, Miss is studying abroad in America, and my son-in-law is studying abroad in Delizhi. They are a perfect match!”
The butler said everything directly, praising Li Donghan to the heavens. The two of them were so compatible, and he wanted to eliminate Gu Qingxue's little temper.
As the only daughter in the family, Gu Qingxue was very doted on. It was inevitable that her personality was a little different. The butler had to coax her, so that there would not be any gap between the two of them!
"Humph! Don't explain it to him. I know he doesn't have me in his heart!”Gu Qingxue grunted and seemed to be angry, but she had another thought in her heart.
Previously, based on Li Donghan's appearance and temperament, she felt that he was the type that suited her. Now that she heard his achievements, she was also a little proud.
Charming men were undoubtedly the most attractive to women, and how did men show their charm?
Temperament and achievements!
Coincidentally, Li Donghan had both of these qualities. His appearance was needless to say, and his achievements were also very satisfactory.
Gu Qingxue had a good impression of him because he was studying in Delizhi. She did not want her man to be an ignorant and incompetent playboy, nor did she want him to be a bookworm who had been educated by tradition.
It would be best if they had the same experience as him!
Then, at such a young age, he had become a third-grade official. It was possible that he would be promoted again in the near future. In the future, he could even be conferred the title of Marquis and Minister. With such achievements in his career, Gu Qingxue was even more satisfied!
However, she would never have thought that Li Donghan had no hopes of being conferred the title of Marquis or Prime Minister. The Qing court was about to be finished. Even if it was a Prime Minister, how much would it be worth?
He was thinking about how to rebel!
Gu Qingxue had been very resistant to this marriage, but she had not expected her fiancé to be Li Donghan!
She was in a good mood. Although she pretended to be unhappy, the smile on her face betrayed her!
She gently looked at Li Donghan again, but her good mood was immediately extinguished because she happened to see the scene of Li Donghan and Su Gang shaking hands.
His lips pouted, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, even though he knew that Li Donghan and Su Lan were just shaking hands.
However, Gu Qingxue still felt a little uncomfortable. She had already regarded Li Donghan as her man, and she was naturally repelled by women who approached him!
Especially when he saw Su Gang. Although she was not as beautiful as him, she was still considered intellectual and elegant. In this era, she was also a rare beauty!
Gu Qingxue was even more unhappy. Men are all the same! He looked at Su Gang with a hint of hostility.
Even though Li Donghan had not done anything overboard, Gu Qingxue felt a sense of danger. She made up her mind to watch him closely after they got married! He definitely couldn't let him cheat!
As for whether Li Donghan would obediently listen to her, that would depend on fate!
"Ignore this stinky man. Let's go!”Gu Qingxue grunted and turned to walk towards the carriage!
