"What--"
The first to be surprised was Gu En. He stood up and saw Fu Jue holding Gu Qingqing's hand, a sight that infuriated him.
"Qingqing, you said you like him?" Gu En couldn't believe it.
Fu Jue liked her, he had always known that, but why did she like Fu Jue?
He just couldn't understand it.
How come things changed after just one trip abroad?
Just because Fu Jue took that bullet for her?
Gu Mu didn't speak, but kept looking at Gu Qingqing, hoping to get an explanation from her.
"Third Brother, I really like Fu Jue. I didn't realize it before, probably because I was still young and hadn't figured out my feelings yet. But after he saved me last time, I realized that I really, really like him."
Gu Qingqing knew that Gu En would find it hard to accept this fact, but she would not give up on Fu Jue.
"Qingqing, you're not thinking of repaying a debt of gratitude, are you?" This was Gu En's first instinct, because girls often admire their saviors.
"How could that be? Third Brother, I really like Fu Jue, and I would never repay a debt of gratitude just because he saved me."
Gu Qingqing blushed, glanced at Fu Jue, and then lowered her head in embarrassment.
Gu Mu stood up and walked up to her. "Qingqing, do you really like him? Is he the only one for you?"
Despite all the precautions, she never expected to fall for Fu Jue.
If she had known better, she would have tried to keep them from meeting and spending time together; perhaps then she wouldn't have fallen in love with Fu Jue.
Gu Qingqing nodded to Gu Mu, smiling foolishly. "Second brother, I love Fu Jue, and he's the only one for me in this life."
She had already decided that Fu Jue was the one.
Only by giving her the feeling of her heart beating.
He was the only man of the opposite sex who could get close to her without her feeling repulsed or disgusted. He was someone she could have contact with besides the three Gu brothers.
Therefore, all she wants in this life is to be with him.
She would never give another man a second glance, not even if it meant death.
She would never force herself to be with someone she doesn't love.
"Qingqing, thank you." Fu Jue was deeply moved when she confessed her feelings to him in person.
Nothing is more precious than the person you love loving you in return.
Because this is what love is all about.
It wasn't that he was in love with her unrequitedly, or that he was pressuring or making things difficult for her.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Fu Jue suddenly hugged Gu Qingqing, ignoring the shocked gazes of Gu Mu and Gu En.
In this lifetime, he only wants her.
"Qingqing..." Gu En felt both bitter and happy seeing how close they were and how good their relationship was.
She finally found a boy she liked.
It's clear she really likes Fu Jue.
Gu Mu opened his mouth with a bitter expression, but couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say.
He had long anticipated that as she grew up, she would one day fall in love with someone else.
I just didn't expect this feeling to be so unpleasant.
More than a decade ago, from the day she was taken in by her parents to be raised and cared for by the Gu family when she was three months old, he thought they would be siblings for life, but he found that he liked her.
He had kept these feelings hidden, fearing that she only felt familial affection for him and that it would frighten her and ruin their sibling relationship.
Therefore, he never revealed his love for her.
She even indulged in the extravagant fantasy that one day she would discover his love for her, and that one day she would fall in love with him in return.
But now we've received news that she's fallen in love with someone else.
Perhaps, all of this was destined.
"We will wish you well, Qingqing," Gu Jin said, glancing at Gu Mu and Gu En.
"Yes, Qingqing, we will wish you well. Fu Jue, you must treat my sister well. If you dare to bully her, the three of us brothers will definitely not let you off easily."
Gu En's eyes were glistening with tears, but she smiled broadly and raised her fist to scare Fu Jue.
Gu Mu looked at Gu Qingqing and nodded to her. "Second brother hopes you will be happy."
As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter who that person is.
Because as long as she is happy.
If one day that person bullies her, she will definitely not let that person get away with it.
"Yes, thank you, second brother, third brother, and eldest brother. Thank you all. With your blessings, I will definitely be very happy."
Gu Qingqing's eyes were blurry with tears; she desperately needed their blessings.
Only with the blessings of her family can she find true happiness.
“Come, let’s offer them a toast with tea instead of wine.” At this moment, Grandpa Fu picked up his teacup.
He was very satisfied with Gu Mu and Gu En's behavior of not objecting or making a scene, because he knew they liked Gu Qingqing, who was not related to him by blood.
They are all excellent, no less so than Fu Jue.
She might fall in love with one of them someday, but Fu Jue intercepts her love before she can.
Gu Jin picked up his teacup first, while Gu Mu and Gu En followed three seconds later.
What can you do if you're unhappy?
Does that mean you can force her to give up Fu Jue?
If she's sad, will they be happy?
Let it be!
No one can predict the future.
Maybe one day she'll suddenly stop loving Fu Jue.
Gu Qingqing and Fu Jue exchanged a glance, then picked up their teacups and gently clinked them together with Old Master Fu's.
They can officially start dating today, and with the blessings of both families, they are sure to be happy.
——
After chatting until late at night, Gu Qingqing was reluctantly dragged home by Gu Mu and Gu En, as she couldn't stay overnight at the Fu family's house just because it was late.
At worst, I'll come a little earlier tomorrow to see Grandpa Fu off as he leaves the capital.
So the next morning around ten o'clock, Gu Qingqing came to see Grandpa Fu off in person. Listening to the old man's instructions, she smiled happily.
