Chapter 178: Let His Son Marry a Perfect Woman
Chapter 178
On his deathbed, the Emperor wanted to marry her off to the son of a powerful court official. He feared that after his death, the Princess might be forced into a political marriage.
But the Princess didn't like the man, no matter how excellent he was!
Only the wearer knows if the shoe fits.
Others can only see that the shoe is good and expensive, but they don't know that it doesn't fit.
Gu Sang didn't immediately announce this matter to the whole world. Free love in the Plague City had taken its first step, and there would certainly be some problems that needed to be solved.
When free love was completely stable in the Plague City, that would be the time to tell all the people in the world.
Gu Sang closed the live stream and immediately received a system prompt.
"Ding!"
"Virtue increased by 50,000!"
"Virtue increased by 100,000!"
"Virtue increased by 200,000!"
Gu Sang had originally intended this story to make women more cautious about love and less prone to being blinded by it.
Unexpectedly, the Princess's initiative to promote interaction between men and women also increased virtue!

This was an unexpected pleasure!
Gu Sang checked the time, went back to her room to change clothes, and went out.
Meanwhile, Gu's mother was also preparing to go out.
Gu Qing leaned against the doorframe, watching her mother select clothes, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mom, you see Dad every day at home. Do you need to be so excited and careful about going out for a meal?"
"You look so expectant, it makes me think you're meeting someone else."
Gu's mother didn't dare let Gu Qing know that they were going to have dinner with Gu Sang.
They were going to try to persuade her to get married today.
These kids nowadays don't want to get married. It was bad enough that Gu Qing kept talking about 'vanished wives,' 'murder for insurance,' 'domestic violence to death,' and other such individual cases.
How come even Gu Sang was afraid of marriage now? It was breaking their hearts as parents.
They had to tackle this one by one!
Once Gu Sang got married and had children, she would understand the benefits of marriage. Then when Gu Qing came of age, all three of them could persuade her together.
Gu's mother pretended to be angry and said, "How can you doubt your mother like that?"
"Can't your father and I maintain the freshness in our marriage? When you get married, you'll understand the sweetness of love."
Upon hearing the words 'when you get married,' Gu Qing's face turned pale with fright.
She quickly walked away, muttering under her breath, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening. Amniotic fluid embolism, go away; domestic violence cases not filed, go away; illegitimate children claiming inheritance, go away; mistresses transmitting STDs, go away; all of you, get lost!"
"Phew, Amitabha, staying single and childless keeps me safe."
Gu Qing clasped her hands together, bowed to the heavens, and then, still frightened, went to watch "The Vanished Wife" again.
At that moment.
At the Smanka Hotel.
Two fashionably dressed young women sat in the most conspicuous spot by the entrance, making sure that customers entering could see them right away.
"Xie Hansi, are you sure this is where Xiaoyu was discovered by the director last time?" A wavy-haired girl with a pointed face discreetly scanned the hall, trying to spot any bosses or directors dining there.
Xie Hansi took a photo of the luxurious surroundings with her phone and nodded, "Yes, Xiaoyu said this place suits the directors' aesthetic tastes, so they often come here to eat and discuss business."
"Take a picture of me, will you? We're here already, might as well make the most of it. I'll post it on social media to make everyone jealous."
The girl took Xie Hansi's phone: "Move a little to the side, the lighting is a bit dark here." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
As Xie Hansi shifted slightly, the girl suddenly noticed a familiar face. She immediately zoomed in on the figure in the background with her phone.
Was that Gu Sang?!
The girl then looked at the person dining with Gu Sang - it was an older man!
Oh my god!
What had she discovered?!
The girl's gossip instincts flared up, and with a mix of excitement at uncovering a secret and a hint of mockery, she handed the phone back to Xie Hansi.
"Quick, look behind us. That's Gu Sang from our department. Huh, no wonder she got that TV role. Turns out she's been cozying up to some big shot!"
Gu Sang was playing a mobile game out of boredom. She disliked people who weren't punctual, even if that person was her mother.
She had said she'd finished her makeup an hour ago and was just getting dressed.
What kind of outfit takes an hour to put on?!
Gu's father noticed the impatience on Gu Sang's face and awkwardly said, "Sang Sang, why don't you order first? I guess your mom got held up on the way."
After saying this, he continued messaging his secretary, arranging various matters for tomorrow.
Gu Sang's beautiful face remained expressionless.
She glanced towards the entrance.
Still no sign of her mother arriving. She put down her phone and said coldly, "If you're both so busy, there's no need to specially call me out for dinner."
"In the future, you two can just meet up by yourselves. I'm fine eating at home."
Hearing this, Gu's father immediately put down his phone and called the waiter to order.
After the waiter left, Gu's father resumed his serious expression, ready to get to the point. He was afraid Gu Sang might leave if they waited any longer: "Sang Sang."
"I have something to ask you today."
"I heard that Lu Mufei from Lu Corporation confessed to you, and you rejected him?"
Gu Sang didn't speak, just looked at her father with cold eyes.
Gu's father continued, "Is it because you have someone you like that you rejected him?"
Gu Sang shook her head, her tone growing even colder: "Since you know about this, you must also know my reason for rejecting him."
Seeing Gu Sang's firm attitude towards marriage, Gu's father frowned and tried to persuade her: "Not getting married or having children is definitely not okay. Medical science is so advanced now, unlike when your mother and I were young. When we had you, your mother nearly lost her life. She had a massive hemorrhage during childbirth and almost couldn't be saved."
"Even with such dangers, your mother and I wanted to have you. We didn't have the conditions you have now. If we had, we would have had more children."
Gu Sang chuckled, "You can still have more now."
Gu's father was stunned for a few seconds: "A woman is not complete without children."
Gu Sang chuckled again: "Yes, I'm incomplete. Why don't you call the head of the Lu family right now and tell his son to marry a complete woman?"
Gu's father didn't react immediately.
When he finally did, he realized - wasn't she suggesting that Lu Mufei should raise someone else's child?!
After all, he had just said that only women who have children are complete!
If he dared to make that call to the head of the Lu family, the Lu patriarch would probably curse him to death!
Gu's father's face immediately turned red with anger. He quickly assumed the demeanor of a stern father and lectured again, "Sang, people can't be so selfish. Continuing the family line is a human instinct. If you don't get married and have children, if you come into this world without leaving behind a child, then you've come for nothing."
Gu Sang: "......"
She couldn't take it anymore!
To hell with selfishness, to hell with instinct, to hell with coming for nothing, to hell with perfection.
Gu Sang had originally approached these matters with an indifferent attitude. She wasn't actually opposed to the idea, it was just that she hadn't met someone she was willing to commit to, and she believed that self-fulfillment was more important than love.
But now, with Gu's father pressuring her like this...
A hundred and eighty pounds of rebelliousness sprouted in Gu Sang's mind!
