Gu Qingze slowly turned his gaze towards Ling Xiao, his eyes full of tenderness, and his tone was as gentle and firm as a spring breeze, as if he was inadvertently soothing Ling Xiao's slightly uneasy mood.
"Don't worry. The Gu family is different from other families. The right of inheritance is not limited to those in the main lineage, and nepotism is not practiced."
Gu Qingze's voice was steady and powerful. "The criteria for becoming the head of the Gu family is basically based on merit and ability. Talent, strength, and other aspects of ability need to be carefully examined."
"I was chosen as the next patriarch not because I'm the son of the current patriarch. Bloodline isn't as important to the Gu family as it is to other families."
Gu Hongjing said these words to him later when he talked about the Chu family.
Although he had felt long ago that the Gu family was very different from other families, he did not expect the Gu family...especially the current head of the family, to be so...tolerant of his relationship with the man.
To be honest, he was indeed surprised that Gu Hongjing respected his opinion so much.
"Father is very supportive of us being together. I just mentioned our relationship to him, and he immediately said he wanted to hold a ceremony for us to tie the knot, and even asked what kind of ceremony I wanted. He really jumped the topic too quickly."
"However, doesn't this just prove that he's not being disloyal and is genuinely wishing you well? Otherwise, normally, even if his parents accepted it, they would still consider external factors and wouldn't want to make such a big deal about it."
Gu Qingze deliberately used a joking tone and spoke in an extremely exaggerated manner. In fact, he just wanted Ling Xiao to relax a little and not be so tense.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "To be honest, I thought it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."
"Wouldn't it be better to keep it simple?" Gu Qingze smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the sun. "I have a little surprise for Ling Xiao."
"What surprise?" Chu Lingxiao's eyes flashed with suspicion, staring at him closely, "You're not still thinking of proposing marriage to the Chu family, are you? If that's the case, my father will definitely faint from anger. It's better not to."
Gu Qingze flicked his forehead and said lovingly, "What are you thinking about? I'm referring to something else."
"Another thing?" Chu Lingxiao couldn't recall it for a moment. He looked at Gu Qingze with a wronged look, as if he was acting like a spoiled child. "Qingze, can you please just tell me directly? I really don't have any ideas at the moment."
Gu Qingze was completely unable to resist his coquettishness, and his cheeks instantly turned a light pink. He smiled and leaned close to Ling Xiao's ear and whispered softly:
"It's what we mentioned before, about giving the Chu family a blood transfusion. My father has agreed, and it should be implemented soon."
Unexpectedly, when Chu Lingxiao heard his words, he did not look as happy as he had imagined, but instead seemed to have some concerns.
"Hmm... so soon? I thought it would take a long time before it was finalized."
Gu Qingze's mood also became less excited with his reaction. He said cautiously:
"Ling Xiao...are you reluctant to let them go? That's right, they are your family after all."
"...Actually, my original intention was just to vent Ling Xiao's anger. If Ling Xiao doesn't want to do this, then I will go and explain to my father now... Anyway, there is still time."
Seeing him like this, Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but chuckle: "Silly boy, I was just sighing. After all, I didn't expect it to be so fast."
"When I was at the Chu family, I had to wait at least a month to do anything, even if it was a small thing. I never thought your father would agree to do it right away."
"To be honest, in the Chu family, apart from my father, I still have some feelings for the rest of the people. My feelings for them can be said to be close to nothing."
He continued, "Besides, it's just a good thing that they can stop taking advantage of their status. And compared to when they bullied me, this punishment is already light and gentle enough."
Chu Lingxiao lowered his eyes slightly. If it weren't for Qingze's protection during that difficult time, he would have been bullied badly.
Now that he has someone who truly loves him, he will focus his attention on those who love him and not be too obsessed with hatred.
This is not about choosing forgiveness, but there is no need to make the situation too ugly and give yourself a bad reputation. They don't deserve it at all.
After hearing this, Gu Qingze regained his spirits, his eyes sparkling like a puppy, and his tail, which was drooping invisibly, began to wag happily.
He leaned close to Ling Xiao's cheek and kissed him gently: "Since Ling Xiao has no objection, shall we proceed as planned?"
"Yeah." Chu Lingxiao nodded slightly, then kissed Qingze on the cheek.
"Qingze..." he called softly, his slender fingers gently touching his lips, as if teasing him.
Gu Qingze noticed his gaze and felt the movement on his lips, and smiled.
Of course he knew what Ling Xiao wanted to express at the moment. He wanted him to make up for the kiss that was interrupted before.
But.....
Gu Qingze didn't know what he was thinking of, and followed suit, tapping Ling Xiao's lips with his finger.
"Hmm?" Just when Chu Lingxiao was confused, he quickly kissed her. This time he no longer kissed her cheek, but pressed their lips tightly together.
The two people's tongues intertwined with each other, inseparable.
Chu Lingxiao originally just wanted to taste it briefly, but he didn't expect Gu Qingze to hold him tightly, making the kiss even deeper.
After a long time, Gu Qingze let go of Chu Lingxiao.
Chu Lingxiao's breathing became unstable and a little rapid, his face flushed slightly, and there was a hint of lust in his eyes.
"Wait until tonight..." Gu Qingze whispered softly in Chu Lingxiao's ear, his voice a little hoarse. Although he only said these three words, the hint was self-evident.
Chu Lingxiao understood it immediately and felt a flutter in his heart. Although he felt a little shy after being hinted at so directly by Qingze, he was more excited.
Chu Lingxiao suddenly wanted time to pass faster. After all, they hadn't done it for nearly half a month, and he couldn't help but miss it a little...
