Chapter 2416: The old fox's nature is hard to change
The matter is done and there is nothing that can be done. Lin Zihang and Anya are engaged, so he has to be responsible for her.
Since then, Lin Zihang has become even more silent.
One time, Jiuyao took Xiaoche home to see her father. When she met Lin Zihang, she asked him whether his relationship with Anya was real. However, he was only concerned with playing with Xiaoche and said nothing.
Jiuyao only knew that Lin Zihang drank too much that night and that being with Anya was a mistake.
Gu Hanye said that men can't do anything when they are really drunk. If they can still do it, it means they are not drunk enough. Zihang was probably impulsive at the time, so he can't blame others.
After hearing what Gu Hanye said, Jiuyao could only blame Lin Zihang for not being able to control herself.
As for whether Tang Xin also likes Lin Zihang, Jiuyao has never heard Tang Xin admit it herself, but she should like him, otherwise she would not have been single for so many years.
He Xuyang is not the only one pursuing Tang Xin.
While thinking about Tang Xin, Jiuyao saw Han Ye’s aunt Lin Ke.
Aunt Lin Ke seemed to be in a good mood. She had just finished a glass of champagne and asked the waiter for another one. Her face was slightly red and she seemed to be a little drunk.
Jiuyao was just about to ask, "Auntie, is it okay for you to drink like this?", but she saw Han Ye's father had already walked over. He directly took the wine glass from Lin Ke's hand and replaced it with a glass of lemonade for her.
Lin Ke looked unhappy, but he didn't continue drinking.
The two of them seemed to have said something to each other. Jiuyao couldn't hear it, but she had a rough guess. It was probably that Gu Changhai didn't allow Lin Ke to drink too much, and Lin Ke's aunt thought he was too nosy.
Watching the two talking, their eyes seemed to be filled with many indescribable emotions. Jiuyao remembered some rumors she had heard before, so she asked Gu Hanye, "I heard that Dad and Aunt Lin Ke are in love. Is that true?"
"Who told you that?"
"It was last time when the old man was celebrating his birthday. I overheard it in the corridor."
Gu Hanye glanced at his father and said, "Maybe, Dad didn't tell me."
He paused, "But he and Aunt Lin Ke have been traveling together in recent years, so it's possible that they have fallen in love with each other."
Jiuyao listened to his flat tone and had no idea what he was thinking. However, he must have noticed the ambiguous relationship between them a long time ago, but seldom mentioned it to Jiuyao. She wondered if he minded.
So Jiuyao continued to test: "If it is true, do you support them?"
"That's their own business. It has nothing to do with whether we support them or not."
"But you feel uncomfortable, don't you?"
After all, she is Han Ye's aunt, and this relationship feels a bit awkward.
However, Gu Hanye's answer surprised Jiuyao a little.
He said: "Outsiders don't understand them and may say things about them. As a family member, I also know what kind of people they are. I just want them to be happy."
"You won't feel sad for your mother?"
Gu Hanye pursed his lips and shook his head. "I told you, as long as it's not someone as scheming as Chen Xiaofeng, I can accept whoever Dad is with. After all, Mom has been dead for thirty years. Also, I misunderstood Dad before. It wasn't until Xiao Chongyang's death that I realized that Dad hadn't had a good life in the past thirty years. Now that he's older and single again, I certainly hope he can let go of the past and find a good partner."
He paused, shifting his gaze to Lin Ke's aunt, and continued, "As for my aunt, it's the same with her. Shaohua said that her last marriage was just a formality and they divorced a long time ago. Since she and my dad are both single, and there's no such thing as betrayal, what others say is their business. Anyway, I won't morally blackmail them, nor will I selfishly ask them to keep their distance."
Jiuyao agreed with Gu Hanye's idea.
She thought of her father, who was devoted to her mother and would never remarry. Such love was great. She admired her father, but sometimes she felt sorry for him and thought he was lonely.
She also talked to her father once...
That was two years ago. My father met a lady named Yang at the Calligraphy Association. She was a nice, gentle, and elegant person. She was two years younger than Jiuyao's father and was interested in him.
Ms. Yang asked Jiuyao to help her find out what her father meant, and Jiuyao asked indirectly.
My father asked Jiuyao to reject Ms. Yang on his behalf.
My father said, tell Aunt Yang that she is a very nice person and I am very grateful for her appreciation. Unfortunately, I can't let go of another person in my heart, so I can only let her down.
The father knew that Jiuyao was worried that he was lonely, so he comforted Jiuyao and said that for some people, letting go of the past and looking forward is happiness, so the father should let go of the past and look forward.
For him, guarding the memories of the past throughout his life actually makes him happy, so there is no need to worry about him being lonely. He did not choose to be single in order to stick to love, but he just likes this state and is used to living alone.
Jiuyao understood that people are different and have different ways of obtaining happiness, but the pursuit of happiness is everyone's nature. As long as it does not hurt others and does not violate the law, there is no right or wrong.
As a daughter, the only thing she can do for her father is to understand him and respect him.
The same principle naturally applies to Han Ye's father. She was worried that Han Ye would be unable to get over it, but fortunately, Han Ye was also quite insightful.
But seeing Han Ye's father and Lin Ke both looking uncomfortable together, she sighed, "We've let it go, but we're just worried they'll feel bad."
Gu Hanye glanced at his father again and said, "Maybe this is why they go out to sea all year round..."
After the song ended, Jiuyao was held by Gu Hanye's waist and walked to the sidelines to rest for a while.
She asked Gu Hanye if he didn't have to toast with the guests or something?
Gu Hanye smiled and said, "It's not too late to go later."
As he said that, he pulled her behind the curtains and took her to the terrace outside to relax for a while.
Gu Hanye sat on the chair, and Jiuyao was about to sit next to him, but Gu Hanye directly picked her up and put her on his lap.
"It would be embarrassing if someone saw it."
"It's not a shameful relationship, what are you afraid of?"
As this guy spoke, he boldly stroked her from under her ribs upwards...
Jiuyao immediately hit him on the back of his hand, but failed to stop his evil claws.
Moreover, this guy was still making excuses, saying that it was all her wedding dress that was too sexy, and that he almost lost control when he was dancing with her in his arms just now.
Jiuyao's face flushed. How come he never blushed when he said something like this...
Seeing that Gu Hanye was about to act rashly, he said sternly, "Gu Hanye, can you control yourself?"
Gu Hanye laughed and said, "Why would I need to control my wife?"
“…”
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a hearty laugh from behind. "I say, your two children are four or five years old, how can you still be so affectionate? Don't they say that the shelf life of love is only seven days? Do you two have any secrets? Tell me quickly."
