Chapter 145 Unrequited Love

Shao Zijie stared intently at Niannian in Gu Yanxiao's arms, becoming like a little shadow, following Niannian wherever she was carried.

Looking at his son's unambitious appearance, Gu's father laughed and said, "Zijie, since you like children so much, why don't you hurry up and find a wife and have one yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Zijie subconsciously turned his eyes to glance in the direction of Gu Yanfei, then quickly looked away, scratched his head, and said, "Uncle is joking. Someone like me, what girl would like me?"

Father Gu didn't notice his extremely subtle glance just now. Instead, he reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "What discouraging words are you talking about? With your conditions, as long as you spread the word that you want to get married, you won't have to worry about finding a girl who's interested."

Upon hearing this, Shao Zijie's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu's father with eager eyes, asking, "Uncle, do you really think I'm good?"

"Of course! Your background, looks, and future are all impeccable. You can pick any girl you want in the capital!"

Mr. Gu nodded. Although the Shao family's circumstances were not as good as the Gu family's at its peak, they were still genuine third-generation military families.

Shao Zijie himself is also a very outstanding young man.

He wasn't exaggerating when he said that.

Upon hearing Gu's father's words, Shao Zijie's eyes shone with increasing confidence. He looked at Gu's father earnestly and asked in a sincere voice, "Uncle, do you really think I'm good enough?"

Mr. Gu was taken aback by his appearance. Although he didn't understand why his son was behaving this way, he continued to encourage him, "Of course, I've always thought you were a good person."

Shao Zijie was so happy that his handsome face turned red.

His uncle praised him!

My uncle said he's very good!

In that case, could he perhaps give it a try...?

With that thought in mind, Shao Zijie glanced again at Gu Yanfei, who was talking to Su Xiangwan.

At this moment, Gu Yanfei was laughing heartily, having said something to Su Xiangwan.

His smile was unrestrained and bright, as if his whole being was enveloped in a dazzling light.

She is like a little sun, making those who are close to her feel a warm power emanating from her.

Su Xiangwan noticed Shao Zijie's gaze as he sized up Gu Yanfei.

If she still couldn't be sure whether Shao Zijie's glance just now was a coincidence...

This time, Su Xiangwan was absolutely certain that Shao Zijie was keeping an eye on Gu Yanfei.

The adoration in his eyes was so intense that it could no longer be concealed.

so……

Does Shao Zijie like Gu Yanfei?

Or is it a secret crush?

Oh dear, her second brother has a love rival!

Compared to the ambiguous relationship between Gu Yanfei and her second brother, which was more than friendship but less than romance, Shao Zijie, who had all the advantages of timing, location, and people, was a very competitive rival!

It's unclear what kind of feelings Gu Yanfei has for Shao Zijie.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

Just then, Gu Yanfei's voice came.

Su Xiangwan came to her senses and saw a fair and delicate hand waving in front of her.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Gu Yanfei looked at Su Xiangwan with suspicion and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts."

Looking at her sister-in-law's bewildered expression, Su Xiangwan tentatively asked, "It's nothing, I was just thinking how fast time flies! In the blink of an eye, Nian Nian is already a month old."

"Do you think it's fast?" Gu Yanfei said dismissively, "So many things have happened in these past few months! We went to Bakushu Village in Liaoning Province to be educated youth, then we returned to Beijing. My brother had surgery, and then Niannian was born. These past few months have really been amazing!"

As she spoke, Gu Yanfei snuggled against Su Xiangwan affectionately and said, "Sister-in-law, I really want to thank you."

Looking at her cat-like demeanor, Su Xiangwan asked with amusement, "Why are you suddenly saying that?"

Compared to Gu Yanfei, who was cautious and discreet in Bakushu Village, she preferred Gu Yanfei after she returned to the capital.

Gu Yanfei exudes a youthful and passionate charm that is dazzling and captivating.

Indeed, the environment in Bakushu Village is really unfriendly to women.

Hopefully, the school she founded there will, through her long-term, subtle efforts, change the environment there.

After rubbing against Su Xiangwan, Gu Yanfei simply didn't bother to get up. Leaning against Su Xiangwan, she said, "Sister-in-law, because of you, our family is so happy now. You're so kind."

She wasn't stupid; she could sense that the reason her family was so happy and harmonious was largely due to Su Xiangwan.

She couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Su Xiangwan had really divorced her older brother a few months ago.

What must their family be like now?

Whether it's her older brother or her parents, they've all been eagerly awaiting the safe delivery of Su Xiangwan's baby over the past few months.

It is because of this hope that the family is able to live each day to the fullest.

"Silly girl." Su Xiangwan raised her hand and ruffled Gu Yanfei's hair, saying, "It's not because of me that our family is so happy, but because we were always a happy family."

Whether it's Gu's parents or Gu Yanxiao and his sister, they are all a very good family.

Su Xiangwan felt very fortunate to have met such a wonderful family, which is why she was able to have such a happy and fulfilling life.

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind. We'll live happily ever after like this," Gu Yanfei said.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Little sister, does that mean you're not planning to get married?"

Upon hearing the word "marry," Gu Yanfei immediately pictured Su Xiangbei's aloof, abstinent, noble, and handsome face.

Then, he quickly realized what was happening and subconsciously shook his head, as if that would shake the figure out of his mind.

She muttered, "I don't want to get married! What's so good about getting married? Besides, the other person might not even be..."

"Little sister?" Su Xiangwan saw that her face was getting redder and redder as she spoke, and her gaze suddenly took on a mischievous look.

"Little sister, what are you thinking about? Why does your face turn so red when I mention getting married?"

"Sister-in-law, you're so mean! We were having a nice chat, why did you start teasing me?" Gu Yanfei was suddenly at a loss for words and wondered if she should run back to her room.

"Ring ring..."

Just then, the phone rang, rescuing her from her predicament.
