Chapter 1106: We're getting married tomorrow! Are you going or not?
Dinner was prepared exceptionally elaborately; even though it was a family dinner, the dishes filled a large round table!
The Chu and Gu families were eating together when, halfway through, the Xie family patriarch led Xie Fangze and his wife in.
"Grandpa Xie? Godmother, Godfather, what brings you here?" Chu Yan stood up to greet them.
The three greeted everyone one by one. Only then did Grandpa Xie look at Chu Yan, filled with emotion: "Your godmother received the news that you were back. She rushed home to tell us, and your godfather and I came to see you. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
The old man patted Chu Yan on the shoulder. He had watched this child grow up and knew his character very well. If he could do something like betraying the country and his family, how could he possibly agree to recognize him as a godparent?
There must have been a reason for that situation.
Chu Yan bowed slightly and helped the old man to a seat: "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Wang Jing, who was standing to the side, asked in a deep voice, "We received a message saying that if your Chu family releases any news at night in the next few days, we should use our official account to forward or like it. Are you not going to go out this time since you've come back?"
As the mayor, it wouldn't be difficult for Wang Jing to receive the news, since she would need to approve any actions taken.
Xie Fangze also looked at Chu Yan: "I heard there's some big news. The higher-ups have been in meetings all day, and it's still not over."
I wonder what Chu Yan has been doing abroad; he's making quite a stir.
"It's probably related to restoring my identity. As for the rest, I wasn't involved and I don't know what they're discussing. This time I'm back, I won't go out. I'll stay home with my family and Ah Yin. I've done everything I needed to do. I'll just stay home and laze around!"
"You brat, you'd better help your dad when you get home!" Chu Xiong pointed at him, clearly displeased. With the child not around, his wife was no longer interested in going on business trips with him.
Grandpa Xie smiled and shook his head: "The higher-ups probably won't let you be idle so easily. After all, the capable should do more work."
As for what Chu Yan meant by "what needs to be done," he didn't ask. Someone would tell him when the time came.
“Look, my wife is over there. She’s someone from above. You can ask her. I’m always with her. Wherever she goes, I go.”
Everyone looked at Gu Yin and realized her identity; indeed, Gu Yin was someone from above.
Grandpa Chu frowned: "What kind of talk is this? Ayin is doing experiments, what are you doing there? Aren't you just causing her trouble? Ayan, you can't be willful!"
Although he also hoped that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law could be together, A-Yin's profession was confidential, and Chu Yan, not being a researcher, couldn't go.
If he insists on going, Gu Yin can indeed take him along, but it would be bad for her reputation.
Chu Yan smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, how could I bear to make things difficult for her? I have my own ways, so please don't worry! Alright, let's eat!"
After saying that, he peeled a shrimp for Gu Yin and said, "Do you look thinner?"
He had wanted to tell her when they met at noon that Gu Yin's figure hadn't changed much over the years, but today he saw that she had indeed lost some weight.
Gu Yin picked up a shrimp: "I've been doing experiments lately, and I've been eating some things that have made me gain and lose weight, it's nothing to worry about, it will get better in a while, and it won't affect my health."
The moment I swallowed the shrimp in my mouth, a freshly peeled one appeared in the bowl.
This scene suddenly felt like being back in college.
Gu Yin reached out and took the prawns from the plate.
"You eat what's in your bowl."
Gu Yin smiled and ignored him. After peeling the fruit, she put it in his bowl.
She looked at him with a smile and said, "Welcome home."
Chu Yan glanced at the shrimp in the bowl, a smile playing on his lips: "It's not easy! I've been craving this much while I'm abroad! I've finally got to eat it today!"
Gu Shu, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "The United States doesn't have prawns? That shouldn't be the case."
Everyone: "......"
Gu Hua: "...I don't know how Yue Xin can stand you!" Does she want to eat shrimp? She wants to eat shrimp peeled by A Yin!
Gu Yin smiled and looked at Gu Shu, "It's been a few years since you graduated. Do you have any plans?"
With so many adults around, Gu Shu suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "What plans? It's still early."
Grandma Gu was displeased: "You've been dating for several years now, it's time for you to make a move. Shouldn't you be preparing for a proposal or engagement? Do you expect Yue Xin to bring it up herself? If you want to focus on your careers, that's your business, you can decide for yourselves. But if the girl is looking forward to marriage, are you holding her back by not bringing it up?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin asked, "Does Yue Xin want to get married? Have you asked her?"
Gu Shu coughed lightly: "Why do you need to ask that? We usually talk about the future when we chat. She's been busy lately. I won't be able to move into my newly renovated house for a while, so I'm thinking of proposing after a while. Don't worry, if you're in a hurry, go ahead and worry about Hua. She and Chen Jishen have been dating for several years, and there's still no sign of anything happening."
When Gu Hua saw him shift his gaze to her, she immediately raised her voice: "It's not hard for me to want to get married. We can do it anytime, even tomorrow! This is mainly your problem, why are you dragging me into it?"
"Shall we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"
Gu Yin turned her head and saw Chen Jishen walking in carrying a gift box.
After greeting the adults, Chen Jishen looked at Gu Hua and asked, "Shall we go tomorrow?"
Gu Hua: "...I don't know what you're talking about."
She doesn't want to get married so early. Her career is on the rise right now, and they've even developed superpowers. The future is so uncertain. What if they accidentally get pregnant after getting married? She'd rather wait until things are more stable.
Seeing her like this, Chen Jishen smiled and shook his head: "Think carefully before you speak carelessly next time!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yin and Chu Yan: "I heard from A Hua at noon that you were back. I was dealing with a case at the time and didn't have time to come over, so I arrived a little late."
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a family reunion dinner. Please take a seat."
Dinner was a lively affair, lasting until after nine o'clock before we moved to the living room.
People talked about work or family matters.
Gu Yin didn't go back to her room; instead, she checked her emails on her phone.
"Are you dealing with work?" Chu Yan brought over a cup of tea and sat down next to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm online. I searched for information about you, but there were no entries. However, there was news about the United States sending warships and fighter jets to chase a private yacht at sea, and the private yacht escaping the pursuit, but it didn't go viral. People don't believe it and think it's fake news."
Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan as she spoke, "Were you scared at the time?"
Chu Yan handed her the teacup and shook his head: "I'm not scared. With Chi Ye here, it's actually quite exciting."
He took the phone and looked at it for a moment, then handed it back to Gu Yin: "This topic should go viral tomorrow. I just received a message that my ID card will be delivered later, and the person should be ready."
As soon as Chu Yan finished speaking, the gatekeeper led his men in.
It was an acquaintance who came.
