She grew up in the Ji family, an ordinary person who was unremarkable and had no advantages in the crowd.
But Gu Yibei is different. He has a good family background, a perfect figure and a handsome face, and he also has a brain that surpasses ordinary people and the ability to stand at the peak and look down on all living beings.
With his net worth, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to marry a royal princess; the difference in their family backgrounds is too great.
She gazed quietly at the face so close to hers. His features were distinct, his contours deep, his eyebrows dark, his black eyes deep and captivating, and his eyelashes long and thick, giving him a unique sensuality.
Ji Zhinan pursed her thin lips, met the man's dark and deep eyes, and asked again, "Are you really willing?"
"..."
Gu Yibei was also staring at her.
Ji Zhinan has a somewhat Eastern face, yet she also possesses the thick eyebrows, large eyes, and high nose bridge of a Westerner. In particular, her eyes have a unique beauty; they are bright and sparkling, and when she smiles, her eyes crinkle, captivating enough to make one's soul feel more enchanted, as if the world has become warmer in an instant.
After staring at him for a full half minute, Gu Yibei finally spoke, his voice as deep and gentle as ever: "Just like you said, I am rich and capable, so I don't care about using marriage alliances to stabilize the empire I have built."
"All I know is that I love you, I want to be with you, and I want to cherish you and pamper you for the rest of my life. This has nothing to do with your family."
He would take her as long as she was there, even if she was a ragpicker.
"..."
Ji Zhinan's heart softened suddenly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. She tilted her head slightly and brought her soft, thin lips close to his.
Gu Yibei's expression hardened, and she lowered her head to kiss his lips.
"Nannan, have you packed your things? Come downstairs with Auntie when you're done..."
Mrs. Gu rushed upstairs to Gu Yibei's room, pushing the door open without knocking and bursting in. Coincidentally, she bumped into Gu Yibei, who was lying on the bed, kissing Ji Zhinan, who was squatting beside the bed.
Madam Gu: “!!!”
Gu Yibei's face darkened: "Mother, you taught me from a young age that knocking before entering someone else's room is the most basic etiquette!"
Madam Gu touched her nose and rolled her eyes at his words: "How was I supposed to know you two were kissing? It's all your fault for not telling me beforehand. If I had known, would I have rushed over to embarrass you and make myself embarrassed too?"
"...So Mother means that we have to report to her every time we want to be intimate?"
Gu Yibei's smile was barely perceptible.
"Hey, you brat, don't talk to your mother like that!"
Madam Gu rushed over to grab Ji Zhinan, excitedly saying, "Nannan, I've had a lot of Chinese New Year couplets, window decorations, and 'peace and good fortune' charms prepared. Shall we go hang them up together?"
"good."
Since Madam Gu personally came to invite him, Ji Zhinan naturally had no reason to refuse.
Gu Yibei's face darkened as his wife, whom he had just coaxed into his arms and kissed a few times, was about to be tricked away by her own mother. He got out of bed, ready to snatch her away, when Madam Gu suddenly remembered something and turned to glance at him.
"Oh, by the way, your father is back. He wants you to go to his study to talk to him."
After saying that, Madam Gu couldn't help but glance at him smugly, and happily took her daughter-in-law's arm and went downstairs.
"..."
Gu Yibei knew that his mother's sudden appearance to snatch the person from him must have been prepared, and sure enough, she was.
He had been in China for almost a year, and now that he was back, he naturally wanted to see his father first.
