When Ji Zhinan first came to the Gu family, he didn't know anyone except Madam Gu and Gu Yibei.
Gu Yibei was jealous that his mother was always clinging to his wife, so he was unwilling to let Ji Zhinan go down.
With nothing to do, Ji Zhinan packed the things out of his suitcase into the closet.
They took out Gu Yibei's shirts one by one, because they were all high-end custom-made, and if the shirts had wrinkles, they were ruined.
Ji Zhinan found an iron, ironed the shirt for him, and then hung it in the closet.
Gu Yibei was unusually relaxed. He lay on the big bed, elbows propped up, hands supporting his chin, his eyes fixed on Ji Zhinan, who was seriously ironing clothes next to him.
Feeling a burning gaze fixed on him, Ji Zhinan looked up and met the man's deep, unfathomable black eyes.
She paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"
"..." Gu Yibei didn't speak, but carefully examined her for a while before saying, "I have good taste."
"???" Ji Zhinan was confused, but then Gu Yibei continued.
"How did you end up marrying such a beautiful and capable wife?"
"..."
Seeing the pride and smugness on his face, Ji Zhinan's lips twitched.
Is he praising her or himself?
She lowered her head to continue ironing the clothes, while Gu Yibei continued to scrutinize every little detail of her, praising her endlessly.
"My wife is equally at home in public and in the kitchen..."
Ji Zhinan glared at him and said, "She's still your wife."
They've only proposed; they haven't had a wedding yet.
Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow: "Are you hinting at something or making it clear to me?"
"ha?"
Gu Yibei tilted his head, his captivating eyes still fixed on Ji Zhinan, the corners of his lips curving upwards into a wider arc.
"This is Country Y, the territory of my Gu family."
The Gu family's main influence is in Country Y, including Gu Yibei's place of origin.
Because of Gu Yibei's identity, issues such as family inheritance and property will be involved later. They may encounter some troubles after registering their marriage in China, but all the troubles will be resolved in Country Y.
"Once you enter my domain, the only possible way out is to take the surname Gu and become my Mrs. Gu."
"..."
Ji Zhinan put down what she was holding, turned to look at the man lying on the bed staring at her: "Are you kidding me?"
Gu Yibei met her eyes and said seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"..."
It doesn't look like it at all.
Ji Zhinan forced a smile and said, "Gu Yibei, we're here to spend the New Year with your parents. Let's not think about anything else for now."
Gu Yibei stared at her and said, "You don't want to marry me?"
"No," Ji Zhinan replied quickly, "It's just that it was too sudden, and I'm a little caught up in it."
So much has happened lately: there's been some progress on my father's case, but the truth about my grandfather's accident is still nowhere to be found, and then there's the development of ZN.
She had thought about marrying Gu Yibei, but she never imagined it would be now.
Since the topic of marriage had come up, Ji Zhinan turned off the iron, walked to the bedside, squatted down, and looked up slightly to meet Gu Yibei's face, asking seriously, "You really don't care?"
"Um?"
“It’s not even confirmed whether my father is still alive. If that Chief Warrens isn’t my father, then he’s most likely dead. I have no family background, and I don’t even have parents anymore. The gap between us is enormous. Are you really willing to be with me?”
