In response to this, Gu Ci expressed his calmness: "Well, my target is Dr. Shen."
Grandma Gu took a deep breath, thinking of Dr. Shen's excellence and good temper, as well as his mature, steady and beautiful temperament, and suddenly felt that a young man like Gu Ci, who was not mature and steady enough, was really not worthy of him in terms of personality alone.
Seeing that grandma was suddenly silent, Gu Ci asked tentatively, "Grandma, you don't have any other ideas, do you? Now I like Dr. Shen, and Dr. Shen likes me too. She and I are going to walk into the palace of marriage together."
Grandma Gu came back to her senses and said with a smile, "That's great, Xiao Ci. When you have time later, why don't you take her home for dinner?"
Gu Ci: "Okay, then let's meet after we return home. I'll also discuss the time with her."
After Grandma Gu agreed, she gave the phone to Mother Gu.
Mother Gu listened to the general idea and knew what Gu Ci was planning, so she just reminded him, "Remember to take good care of yourself and your partner over there. If you need anything, tell us and we'll send someone to deliver it to you."
Gu Ci responded, "Okay, I understand."
Mother Gu smiled and said, "If it's convenient later, can our family also meet with the Shen family's parents?"
Gu Ci: "They are still in District X. We'll have time when we return to China together."
Mother Gu jokingly said, "I was wondering why you were so eager to go to District X. It seems your girlfriend and future parents-in-law are all there. No wonder you're so anxious. As your mother, I have to start preparing for your engagement and wedding."
No one knows a child better than his mother. Mother Gu has already seen that Gu Ci wants to settle down as soon as possible, otherwise she would not have told them so early.
Gu Ci blushed slightly and said, "Mom, I can prepare it myself. I'll make a strategy first."
Mother Gu burst out laughing and said, "That's fine. It's better if you young people have your own ideas. Then you can take a look at it yourself first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Gu Ci: “Yeah.”
Next, Gu Ci chatted with his father about work for a while, and then the call was transferred to his brother.
Gu Jing was as calm as ever. "Did you get what you wanted? How do you feel now? I heard from Special Assistant Zhou that you adapted quite quickly after arriving there and your work progress is also very good."
Gu Ci replied: "Now, I feel very satisfied and at the same time, I feel it is worth it."
Gu Jing: "As long as you think it's worth it, however, Special Assistant Zhou will not stay there with you. I have a lot of things piled up here, and I'm waiting for him to come back and help me with the work.
Also, even though you won't be returning to China with them, you still have to continue working, so just keep working online. If you want to stay, don't delay the work I've assigned to you."
Gu Ci: ...
His brother really is as focused on work as ever.
......
After the inspection team completed its one-month work, everyone except Gu Ci packed their bags and returned home.
Before Assistant Zhou went back, Gu Ci secretly transferred him a very generous bonus. He deserved a bonus since he had helped him so much.
In response, Special Assistant Zhou said cheerfully, "Mr. Gu, if you and Dr. Shen need any help with wedding preparations, you can always contact me."
Gu Ci said, "Okay."
After that, the people who came later all returned to their country, leaving only Gu Ci here to accompany Chen Yao.
Gu Ci's childhood friends were the last to know that he had stayed in District X for a month and had not returned. They were all extremely shocked and asked him in the group why he did not come back.
Jiang Shuo: Ah Ci, I originally thought you were coming back early because you couldn't get used to it there, but now you're saying you'll stay for a while longer. I really can't believe it.
Song Yu: How does it feel to be there? I heard that even the food hygiene there is terrible. How can one stay there?
Ye Xu: Did you encounter some fairy over there? Your soul has even stayed there.
[Zhou Zhen: Speaking of which, someone I used to know is also in District X recently.]
Gu Ci directly found a few photos of him cooking taken by Chen Yao in the album and sent them to the group.
【Gu Ci: Picture】
【Gu Ci: Picture】
【Gu Ci: Picture】
[Gu Ci: It doesn't matter. I usually cook for myself. The unclean food sold outside doesn't affect me.]
Ye Xu: Hmm? When did you learn to cook?
Song Yu: I have a question. Who took these photos of you? Why does this angle make it feel like a girlfriend's perspective?
Gu Ci was just waiting for someone to ask this. He raised his eyebrows and typed a reply with a happy expression.
[Gu Ci: Oh, you mean photos? These were taken by my girlfriend while I was cooking.]
[Gu Ci: My girlfriend has many photos like this in her album.]
Ye Xu: ???
Song Yu: ???
Jiang Shuo: ???
[Song Yu: No, you're secretly dating behind the backs of us singles again?]
Ye Xu: Oh wow, I'm the Prophet, and I guessed it right. You really did run into someone in Area X, which is why you don't want to come back.
[Gu Ci: My girlfriend is a doctor. She has some work to do here and it will take some time before she can return home, so I'm staying here with her.]
[Gu Ci: Come to think of it, I even met my girlfriend's parents.]
As soon as Gu Ci said this, the group started to explode again. Everyone gritted their teeth and accused Gu Ci of being scheming. He had done so many things quietly without telling them, and now he was secretly showing off after it was done.
Zhou Zhen did not join them in the accusation. He looked at the message sent by Gu Ci and suddenly had a bold guess while thinking.
[Zhou Zhen: Ah Ci, your girlfriend's last name isn't Shen, is it?]
[Gu Ci: Her last name is Shen.]
[Zhou Zhen: Her last name is Chen, and she's a doctor by profession. Plus, she's currently in District X, so isn't that Chen Yao?]
[Gu Ci: My girlfriend is Chen Yao, that's right.]
【Zhou Zhen: ......】
【Zhou Zhen: You kid.】
【Zhou Zhen: I remember it.】
[Gu Ci: You must come to Shen Yao and I's wedding.]
【Zhou Zhen: ......】
[Zhou Zhen: Is it too late to break up now?]
Song Yu: Hmm? What are you two talking about?
Ye Xu: Oh wow, there's a melon.
[Gu Ci: It's just an old story. Anyway, no one can steal my wife.]
After saying that, he dropped his phone and hugged his wife and kissed her.
