The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

"I won't see them again in the future."

As she spoke, Gu Wanqing's figure gradually disappeared.

Chu Qianqiu watched the end of the farce.

In her arms, there was still a warmth that remained, not leaving with the others.

Xue'er's eyes were lively, she glanced at the young man and looked like a startled deer underneath.

After a long time, she dared to speak.

"Brother Qianqiu, what you just said, is it true?"

"You... want to marry me?"

The girl's words were like a gentle breeze brushing the willows, intoxicating and moving.

"Qingxue, if you have nowhere to go, come and live with my Chu family."

Chu Qianqiu didn't answer immediately, just smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

"Was what you said just now just to spite my sister?"

Slightly pursing her lips, Gu Qingxue felt a little disappointed with the boy's evasive answer.

Chu Qianqiu felt helpless.

He was thinking about whether he could give this girl happiness.

If he agreed without permission, the girl would marry into his destitute Chu family and stay with him for life.

He was afraid that as an ordinary person, he would be unable to handle everything and would suffer for a lifetime.

Although it seemed that Gu Qingxue was deeply attached to him on the surface, to the point of being willing to be abandoned by her family, he still wanted to stay true to her heart.

He also understood the reason why Gu Qingxue gradually became silent after they were engaged as children.

But the more so, the more conflicted Chu Qianqiu became.

He felt ashamed that he didn't even have the qualifications to cultivate.

His mother was exhausted for him.

His father was seriously injured and couldn't afford it.

The family was troubled both internally and externally.

He couldn't even take care of himself.

How could he give a girl a real home?

So, as he stroked the girl's disheveled hair, he had some doubts and wanted to retreat.

[Detected that a girl wants to marry the host.]

[Loading family development system.]

Chu Qianqiu: "?"

A voice sounded in his mind.

Chu Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was the girl in his arms speaking.

But he quickly realized that it was the voice of the system.

"What the hell, a system?"

"You, you're half an hour late!"

"Half an hour!"

"Do you know how I spent this half hour?"

System: "...I'm sorry."

After scolding the system and making the child feel stupid, Chu Qianqiu felt much better.

He was somewhat relieved that as a transmigrator, he also had a system of his own.

However, he arrived a little late.

If he had arrived earlier, perhaps the scene just now would have been different.

But the name of this system was a bit peculiar.

Family development? What does that mean?

He was curious and the system provided an answer.

[Ding, this system has two functions.]

[1: Encourage the host to find partners and have children.]

[2: Encourage the host to develop the family together.]

[Now, if the host and the partner are together, they can receive rewards.]

[The better the partner's aptitude, the more generous the rewards.]

[If a child is born, the better the child's aptitude, the same applies.]

[At the same time, developing the family is more difficult to obtain rewards compared to having children.]

[But once obtained, the rewards are very generous.]

[Therefore, this system suggests that the host marry first and have children.]

"?"

"Uh, there's this kind of LSP system?"

...

After listening to the introduction in his mind, Chu Qianqiu was speechless.

He didn't expect the system to be more enthusiastic about relationships than he was.

He was greatly shocked, but also felt that there didn't seem to be a problem.

"But system, you have to give me something so that I can develop."

"And you're half an hour late, you must add something more!"

With a thought in his mind, Chu Qianqiu hinted frantically.

The system understood and sent him a super beginner's gift package.

The items in the gift package were stored in the system's warehouse.

Chu Qianqiu probed with his mind and was both shocked and delighted.

Inside, he saw several high-grade elixirs and a yellow-ranked cultivation technique.

In this world, cultivation techniques, elixirs, and weapon ranks are: Mortal, Yellow, Earth, Profound, Heaven, Immortal, and Divine.

A yellow-ranked cultivation technique is already a rare item in the mortal realm and is worth a fortune.

Not to mention, he also obtained many essential elixirs.

Among them, there was a marrow-cleansing elixir that could open up one's potential. Surprisingly, this elixir was of the lower grade of the Earth rank and its value was immeasurable.

There was also a rejuvenation elixir that could revive the dying. It was of the middle grade of the Yellow rank and equally astonishing.

With such treasures, Chu Qianqiu's heart was already trembling.

This meant that he now had hope on the path to immortality.

Moreover, his father's injuries could finally be saved!

...

"Brother Qianqiu, I'm sorry, I was speaking out of turn just now."

"I know you were just angry for a moment, that's why you said those things..."

"Perhaps, in your heart since childhood... there has only been your sister."

"If my actions have hurt you this time, you can... imagine me as her."

"You can hit me, scold me... take it out on me, anything is fine!"

"I just hope that you won't be sad or angry anymore..."

In her embrace, Gu Qingxue gradually became desolate as time passed.

At this point in her words, her sadness became more apparent, but she still gave the young man a faint smile.

Chu Qianqiu snapped back to reality and heard her words, feeling a sour ache in his heart. He held the girl even tighter.

"Don't say such things, Xue'er."

"You are you, you are not a substitute for anyone."

"Your sister is so heartless, why should I hold onto any memories?"

"From today onwards, you are the daughter-in-law of my Chu family."

"I swear, I won't let you suffer any grievances again!"

The young man spoke with a resolute tone that couldn't be pursued.

And looking at the owner of those determined eyes.

Gu Qingxue, who had been neglected by her clan, felt like she had seen the warm sun of spring, and the layers of ice in her heart melted away.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she hugged the young man tightly, as if she had gained everything.

"Thank you, Brother Qianqiu..."

"Don't say thank you, the one who should be thanked is me."

"I never expected that you would give up so much for me."

The two of them were intimate, and Chu Qianqiu kissed the girl's cheek.

Ren Qianxue, who had been pale and watching for a long time, finally recovered somewhat at this moment.

She witnessed the heartlessness of the Gu family and the drastic change in Gu Wanqing's personality.

If not for today, Gu Qingxue's behavior would have made her change her mind.

But now, she was afraid that she would no longer believe in human hearts.

"What a beautiful scene..."

"It's just that, Qiu'er, our Chu family may not be able to give Xue'er a happy future."

After hesitating for a long time, Ren Qianxue finally voiced her concerns in front of the two.

Gu Qingxue saw her "mother" speak and furrowed her eyebrows, feeling very nervous.

As if afraid of losing something, she suddenly held the woman's hand and pleaded softly.

"Aunt... no, mother."

"I will take good care of Brother Qianqiu, and I will also be filial to you."

"Please... let me stay."

The young girl was so sensible, like a child who had done something wrong.

The more Ren Qianxue looked at her, the more pleasing she became, and the more she couldn't bear to let her suffer with the Chu family.

"Child, Aunt didn't mean that, I... sigh."

"Mother, rest assured, I won't let her suffer."

"And with Father and you, we will all be fine in the future."

Seeing her mother hesitate, Chu Qianqiu suddenly interrupted, full of confidence.

He no longer concealed it and revealed the fact that he could cultivate.

But as soon as he spoke, the two women beside him were not relieved, but rather more surprised.

"Qiu'er, did you say... you can cultivate?"

"Brother Qianqiu, weren't you..."

Both of them asked at the same time, with the same curiosity.

They both knew that Chu Qianqiu's aptitude was mediocre.

How could he suddenly change today and be so confident?
