Yun Suiwan didn't say anything; hearing these words made her feel quite sad too.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, no one can truly understand them except the two people involved.
"I won't say anymore," Lin Zhibai said with a smile. "This is fine too. I have no more worries in my heart."
"I'll still be the most dashing man in the bar."
He couldn't see how ugly the smile on his face looked.
It's uglier than crying.
But Gu Fanyan was already engaged to Murong Mo, so his story with Gu Fanyan had come to an end.
Gu Fanyan returned home late at night.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were still awake, waiting for her.
Previously, when Murong's mother was rushed to the hospital, it was Gu's parents who, along with others, managed to calm the guests down.
The engagement ceremony went smoothly today.
"Mom and Dad, thank you for your hard work," Gu Fanyan said apologetically.
“These are all minor matters,” Mr. Gu said, looking at his daughter with affection. “How are things on your end?”
Gu Fanyan shook her head, "It's nothing serious, and Mother Murong's health is fine."
"What exactly happened?" Gu's mother asked.
Gu Fanyan didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
Including her past miscarriage.
Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it anymore.
This was the first time Mr. and Mrs. Gu had heard about this, and they were both stunned.
After a long pause, Gu's mother finally asked, "Yan'er, you...you suddenly changed your mind and agreed to study abroad, was it because you found out you were pregnant?"
Gu Fanyan nodded, "I was afraid you'd worry..."
Gu's parents realized that their daughter wasn't afraid of worrying them, but rather afraid that they would force her to abort the child!
Gu's mother quickly realized something was wrong. "What happened next? What happened? Why is the baby gone?"
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes: "Later, I accidentally tripped and fell..."
"My silly daughter!" Gu's mother hugged Gu Fanyan with heartache. "You suffered so much, why didn't you tell your mother?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall from Gu's mother's eyes.
Mr. Gu's face was ashen; he was very angry, but his eyes were also full of heartache.
"Did you go to a better hospital? Did you take good care of yourself?" Gu's mother had so many questions to ask. "Did you improve your nutrition? Did you develop any chronic illnesses?"
My daughter was so young back then, she didn't understand anything. If her health had deteriorated, it would have been too late to regret it.
Gu Fanyan nodded repeatedly, "Mom, don't worry. I met a good friend who took care of everything for me. I'm fine and didn't suffer any pain."
Gu's mother was worried, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow and have Dr. He do a check-up for you."
Dr. He is the director of a hospital and also an old friend of Gu's mother.
Gu Fanyan nodded. Although she felt it was unnecessary, she didn't object for her mother's sake.
Mr. Gu asked, "Which friend helped you back then?"
Gu's mother nodded, "Yes, tell your mother that she should thank her properly."
"I've already thanked him..."
Seeing the persistent look in her parents' eyes, Gu Fanyan knew that if she didn't explain things clearly, they would keep asking her questions.
She had no choice but to say, "It's Huo Beichen."
"Huo Beichen?" Mr. Gu frowned. "The Huo Beichen who just took over his father's company?"
Gu's mother was also somewhat surprised: "How do you know him?"
Gu Fanyan pursed her lips slightly, saying it was just a coincidence.
Since things had come to this, Gu's father didn't ask any more questions. "Fanyan, you must tell your parents if anything happens in the future... You know, your mother loves you the most. If anything happens to you, it will be like taking her life."
Gu's mother's eyes reddened again.
Gu Fanyan rested her head on her mother's shoulder. "Mom, don't worry, I'm all grown up now and I won't do anything stupid anymore."
Gu's mother hugged her affectionately, "Mom just feels so bad thinking about how you've suffered so much abroad without any family members by your side to take care of you."
"It's all in the past, and Fanyan is doing well, so let's not talk about it anymore."
Mr. Gu was more rational. "I'll remember Huo Beichen. I'll give him some pointers when I have the chance."
Gu Fanyan was stunned for a moment, "Dad, Huo Beichen helped me back then, but he didn't know who I was at all, and he wasn't after that."
Mr. Gu patted her on the shoulder, told her to rest early, and then turned and went to the study.
“Let your dad do it,” Gu’s mother said. “Your dad loves to give advice to young people. Besides, Huo Beichen helped you, so he deserves it.”
“That’s just how your dad is,” Gu’s mother continued. “He never says words like ‘care’ or ‘love,’ but the things he does are all out of concern for you.”
Gu Fanyan nodded obediently, snuggling even closer into her mother's arms.
"Mom, is Dad satisfied with Murong Mo?" she asked.
"As long as you like it, your father and I will both like it," Gu's mother smiled slightly.
She didn't tell Gu Fanyan that Gu's father actually favored Lin Zhibai more.
If it weren't for her strong opposition, Gu's father would probably have created opportunities for Lin Zhibai and Gu Fanyan.
“Mom, in another week, Murong Mo and I will be going on a destination wedding,” Gu Fanyan said apologetically. “Afterwards, I will accompany him to teach at a university in the Western Hemisphere and will not be back for a while.”
Mother Gu nodded: "Now that you've married Murong Mo, of course you two should be together."
"Don't worry about your dad and me. We're still young, and we have a housekeeper. Everything will be fine."
"Mom." Gu Fanyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a deep sense of reluctance.
Gu's mother gently comforted her, "You're sad now because a new life is about to begin, and you feel lost."
"Once you and Murong Mo go to a new place, you'll find it fresh and interesting."
"Then I still can't bear to part with you and Dad." Gu Fanyan revealed her true feelings, "In this world, no one will ever love me like you do."
Gu's mother smiled slightly, but a trace of worry flashed through her heart.
After Gu Fanyan went upstairs, Gu's mother went to Gu's father's study.
Mr. Gu stopped dealing with official business and instead sat in his chair in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Gu's mother glanced at him. "You're not thinking of setting up our daughter with Lin Zhibai again, are you?"
Mr. Gu sighed softly, "I've been wondering, were we wrong back then?"
"If we hadn't been so stubborn back then, wouldn't Yan'er and Lin Zhibai have been a perfect couple, and what about that child..."
Mother Gu's face darkened: "I knew you hadn't given up on the idea of making Lin Zhibai your son-in-law. Are you getting senile? Lin Zhibai has caused my daughter so much suffering, and you still have such thoughts?"
Mr. Gu shook his head: "I guess Lin Zhibai didn't know about the child back then."
"Back then, you rushed Yan'er abroad, and the two young people didn't even have a chance to clear up the misunderstanding."
“Yan’er went abroad back then, not to space,” Gu’s mother said, even angrier. “If Lin Zhibai really wanted to, why didn’t he go abroad to look for her? Couldn’t the Lin family afford the plane tickets, or did they simply not have the intention?”
