"Alright. Let's not talk about her anymore. We'll talk about her later. We can get married today."

Lan Yao held Gu Zixiao's hand, her eyes crinkling with joy.

Gu Zixiao's ears turned red instantly, and he gripped Lan Yao's hand tightly. "I've been looking forward to this."

Lan Yao: "Are you sure you've been looking forward to this all along? Every time I teased you before, you always tried to avoid me."

"Then, how can that be the same? You, I..."

Lan Yao squeezed his hand: "Okay, I know. Let's eat first. I heard you didn't eat breakfast this morning?"

Gu Zixiao: "It seems you haven't eaten either. So, you should eat more."

"Okay." Lan Yao took a bite of the braised pork, then said to Gu Zixiao, "I don't think it tastes as good as what you and Grandma Yu make."

Gu Zixiao said with some pride, "Of course. The benefits that Grandma Yu and I have gained are no joke."

"Yes. I know."

Gu Zixiao: "Honey, let's just have something to eat. I'll cook something special for you this afternoon or evening."

"good."

The way the two of them were so close was truly enviable to those around them.

Some of them, who had almost finished eating, began to observe Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao.

“Before Gu Zixiao got married, I was really worried that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife in the future, judging from his personality.”

"You know what, didn't someone try to introduce Gu Zixiao to someone before? And then Gu Zixiao yelled at them?"

"Tch, you're talking about Aunt Zhang, aren't you? She wants to introduce her niece from the countryside to someone. Doesn't she even bother to look in the mirror?"

Gu Zixiao is so handsome, and he's so capable. Does her country bumpkin niece even deserve him?

"That's right. Gu Zixiao is so good-looking and capable, so naturally he should find someone he can talk to and who shares the same interests."

I heard Gu Zixiao's wife is really formidable.

"You've heard about this?"

"Of course. Gu Zixiao pursued her with great effort precisely because his wife is so capable."

I heard that he even got sterilized back then in order to pursue her.

"My God!"

"Really?"

"Such a thing is true?"

"I never expected this."

"It's true. Back then, Gu Zixiao's wife was still young. She wasn't old enough to get married yet."

Gu Zixiao's wife didn't have any feelings for him either. She never wanted to talk to him in the first place. If he hadn't done that kind of thing and then kept pursuing her relentlessly, his wife might not have married him.

"I see. I didn't know you knew so much."

"What's the big deal? I only heard it from his comrade."

...

The story of how Gu Zixiao relentlessly pursued his wife began to circulate during the banquet.

Some people know more details, so they say more.

Lan Jiaojiao overheard such gossipy details from a short distance away, and she was so jealous she was almost going crazy.

Lan Jiaojiao never expected that Lan Yao, a country bumpkin, would one day rise from humble beginnings to become a phoenix.

She's so angry!

Thinking about the life she's lived these past few years, and comparing it to the life Lan Yao has lived.

Lan Jiaojiao grew angrier the more she thought about it, but even though she was angry, she didn't dare to vent her anger here.

For some reason, she felt that if she actually did something here, she would probably die even faster.

"Brother Nan, are you finished eating? Shall we go back?"

Gu Nan: "...What's wrong? Is your stomach upset? Can we stay a little longer? I see quite a few leaders are at Gu Zixiao's wedding banquet. I'm thinking of trying to get some connections."

When Lan Yao heard that he wanted to use connections, how could she stop him?

She smiled slightly at him and nodded: "Then go ahead, Brother Nan. I believe that with your abilities, you shouldn't be stuck here."

After Gu Nan returned, his position remained unchanged, and on the surface, Gu Nan seemed to be doing nothing.

But how could her husband not see his anxiety?

Although Lan Jiaojiao doesn't like Gu Nan.

However, she supports some of Gu Nan's ideas, even though Gu Nan isn't exactly great.

But they are among the better people she can currently reach.

Of course, back then, Lan Jiaojiao had considered leaving Gu Nan.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned, and it seems she's trapped next to Gu Nan.

Moreover, he always managed to figure out what she was thinking.

Lan Jiaojiao was certainly not embarrassed.

She wants a better life, what's so embarrassing about that?

It's just that there wasn't a better springboard.

Gu Nan gently squeezed Lan Jiaojiao's hand and smiled faintly at her: "Then I'm off."

After Gu Nan finished speaking, he walked forward, though he felt somewhat resentful towards Gu Zixiao.

But what's that saying again? Even if you're unwilling, it's okay to use other people's help to get promoted.

With that in mind, Gu Nan ran ahead and tried to talk to those people.

However, those people simply couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Gu Nan didn't last long before returning dejectedly.

Seeing his expression, Lan Jiaojiao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Nan's face was very pale. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

When Lan Jiaojiao saw his reaction, she knew something was wrong, but he just wouldn't tell her.

Forget it, if you won't tell her, then forget it.

For a moment, the two fell silent. After a short while, Gu Nan said to Lan Jiaojiao, "Let's go back."

Anyway, there's no point in staying here, and it's just an eyesore.

Lan Jiaojiao said softly, "Okay. I understand."

Before leaving, Lan Jiaojiao glanced at Lan Yao, who was chatting and laughing with Gu Zixiao, and left unwillingly.

Lan Yao seemed to sense Lan Jiaojiao's gaze, and as Lan Jiaojiao and Gu Nan left, she also suddenly turned her head away.

Gu Zixiao noticed her movement and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lan Yao: "It's nothing."

Jade Pixiu: "Master, Master, are you still going to deal with her?"

Lan Yao: "Of course. We're still a little short, so naturally we have to teach her a lesson."

Lan Yao is a person who always seeks revenge. Even though she thinks Lan Jiaojiao is behaving herself now, she will still take revenge when necessary.

Well, how should I put it?

Lan Jiaojiao didn't choose to be honest; she had no choice but to be.

Otherwise, Lan Yao wouldn't believe that she would behave herself and not cause trouble.

Therefore, some things that need to be repaid still need to be repaid.

Jade Pixiu: "I'm really looking forward to it."

Lan Yao: "Yes. I'm really looking forward to it too."

Gu Zixiao gave his wife a deep look, but didn't say anything.

Well, there are some things he can handle on his own, he doesn't necessarily have to rely on his wife, right?

If Lan Yao knew what he was thinking, she would definitely praise him highly.
