The two sets of parents arranged to meet today, three days from now.

In the evening, Lin Zhibai and his parents came over.

The gifts they brought filled half the restaurant.

Mother Gu joked, "You brought so many; it will take Fan Yan half a day to open all the boxes."

However, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

It took a lot of effort to move these things in, and if Lin's mother changes her mind and wants to call off the engagement, it will take a lot of effort to move them out.

All this fussing and fussing will probably make Yan'er sad.

After the meal, Gu's mother called Lin's mother to the side hall for tea.

Gu Fanyan subconsciously went to the garden, and from this angle, she could see their figures.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

She started twisting her fingers.

"Sister Fanyan!" Lin Zhibai chased after her, put his arm around her slender waist, and brought his handsome face close to hers affectionately: "Why are you running around? I've been looking for you everywhere."

"I'll stand here for a while," Gu Fanyan replied.

However, her gaze betrayed her.

Following her gaze, he also saw the figures of the two mothers in the side hall.

Both of them looked very serious, as if they were discussing a very serious topic.

He immediately realized what was happening and looked at Gu Fanyan: "Did you ask your aunt to tell my mom about that?"

His gaze swept over her lower abdomen.

Gu Fanyan nodded. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it from him anymore.

Lin Zhibai immediately frowned: "I told you, this has nothing to do with my parents."

His handsome eyes were filled with worry and heartache.

After a moment, he decisively said, "Go abroad for a while, go now."

He did indeed take out his phone to call his assistant.

Gu Fanyan immediately covered his phone with both hands, "You think your aunt and your relatives will cause me trouble because of this, right?"

He worried that the rumors would ruin her.

Gu Fanyan looked touched, but she shook her head. "There's no need for that."

"And I believe that even if your aunt can't accept this, she won't spread it around."

Lin Zhibai breathed a sigh of relief; he did believe that.

The mother understood the significance of Gu Fanyan to him.

At this moment, Lin's mother stood up in the reception room.

Gu Fanyan involuntarily shuddered.

She was still a little nervous, with a feeling of waiting for her fate to decide her destiny.

She immediately fell into a large embrace, and Lin Zhibai's warm voice rang in her ears: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Mmm." She responded softly, and with the warmth of his embrace, she opened her eyes and looked towards the villa entrance.

Lin's parents went out the door and headed straight for the parking space.

Soon after, the car engine started up, and they left.

They left in a hurry.

Gu Fanyan felt the night deepen inexplicably.

She secretly clenched her fist, and when she looked at Lin Zhibai, she forced a smile.

She wanted to tell him that she was okay, that she could handle it.

However, the sadness in her eyes betrayed her.

Lin Zhibai pretended not to see it and smiled, "I'll go back first and call you tonight."

"Hmm, will there definitely be a phone call?"

"Of course. You wait for me at home."

Gu Fanyan watched his car drive away, then stood there blankly, feeling lost and helpless, not knowing what she could do.

Until Gu's mother's voice rang out: "Yan'er."

She snapped out of her daze and turned to look at her mother. "Mom, what did Aunt Lin say?"

Mrs. Gu shook her head: "She didn't say anything. Before she left, she told me to open the gift when you had time."

"Oh." Gu Fanyan was somewhat disappointed.

She went to a corner of the living room, where gifts brought by Mr. and Mrs. Lin were piled up.

She sat down and opened one box after another.

These gifts are so varied!

There are uniquely designed jewelry pieces.

The latest style of bags.

A haute couture cocktail dress, in her size.

Her go-to skincare products.

Car keys.

House key.

An exquisite set of bowls and plates.

Brand name spoons.

There are also branded scarves, keychains...

Gu Fanyan was a little confused.

"She actually managed to get her hands on this keychain!" Gu's mother walked over, quite surprised, and took the keychain in her hand, playing with it repeatedly.

"What's wrong with it?" Gu Fanyan was confused.

“It’s a limited edition,” Mrs. Gu said. “A designer from a certain brand had a sudden inspiration and handmade about ten of them. Even VIP customers like us have to wait in line to get one.”

“Last time when Mom played mahjong with them, several of them insisted on using this as a chip, but Lin’s mother refused.”

"So she wanted to leave it to you."

Gu Fanyan was confused; she didn't really like this kind of thing either.

“She just wanted to give you something special,” Mrs. Gu smiled. “You don’t know, do you? These gifts were all handpicked by Mrs. Lin herself. She said that she could afford anything more expensive, and you’ve seen all of those things before, so she could only give you her heartfelt wishes.”

Gu Fanyan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at these things again. They were indeed things she could use in her daily life.

"Mom, what were you talking about just now?" she asked.

“I told her about that,” Mrs. Gu smiled. “She was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then she started talking about these gifts.”

"It's as if he didn't hear what I said at all."

"When she left, she reminded me to open the gift."

“Yan’er, she didn’t take the gifts back, and she even made you open them. Her attitude is already very clear.”

Gu's mother put the keychain back into her hand.

Gu Fanyan slowly lowered her head, gazing at the little gadget, her eyes welling up with tears.

She understood.

Lin's mother pretended not to know anything, pretending that nothing had happened, in order to protect her.

Lin's mother's first reaction was not to despise her, nor was it to worry that Lin Zhibai would not have children. Instead, she wanted to protect her and prevent the rumors from hurting her.

"Mom," she called out, her voice choked with sobs, and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"What's wrong?" Gu's mother asked with concern.

Gu Fanyan shook her head. "I'm fine. I just feel very happy. Really, I also feel very silly. After going through so many twists and turns, I'm finally able to embrace this happiness."

Fortunately, she didn't miss it.

"Silly child." Mother Gu gently stroked her hair, smiling through her tears.

After that night, Lin Zhibai and Gu Fanyan's wedding was officially put on the agenda.

Gu Fanyan thought the process would be simple: she and Lin Zhibai would pick a day to get their marriage certificate, and then the two of them would go to Baitou Mountain, and that would be it done.

It was actually much more complicated than she had imagined.

The relatives of the Gu and Lin families alone are enough for her to handle.

The Gu family has many relatives, and after learning about this, gifts kept pouring into their home.

The Lin family was the same; they kept insisting on meeting the bride-to-be.

After dealing with the issues between the two families, half a month had passed.

That day, Lin Zhibai said to her, "The best time to go to Baitou Mountain has arrived. This season, you can see flowers in full bloom and snow at the top of the mountain."

She saw the photos he had reposted, taken by others, and they were indeed very beautiful.

"How long will it take us?" she asked.

She had heard her father mention before that the project between the two companies was progressing, and as the person in charge, it wasn't appropriate for him to disappear for so long.
