Regardless of what Gu Jiu thought to herself, Gu Yuheng had already won over the Lin family elders. Now, the elders treated Gu Yuheng even better than their two grandsons.
Gu Yuheng's move also won Lin Chuxia's favor, bringing their relationship to a new level.
Lin Chuxia discovered that Gu Yuheng always managed to do things that touched her deeply without her even realizing it, like right now.
However, despite being touched, Lin Chuxia was still full of doubts: "Gu Yuheng, how come I never realized you were such a flirtatious person before? If you were as good at sweet-talking people before as you are now, why would you have needed to sign that kind of contract with my parents?"
"..." Could he say that his perspective on her back then was different from how he sees her now?
At that time, he regarded her as one of his own, thinking that she could understand his meaning, so he spoke less and did more. In the end... well, the past is too painful to recall.
He no longer wanted to relive that frustrating and unspeakable period of his life. After all, the only feeling he had during that time was that he was like a plate of pickled fish—sour, bland, and superfluous!
The sourness stemmed from her resentment at seeing others treat her better than him; the veggieness came from his own clumsy attempts to annoy her; and the superfluous one was simply an unnecessary presence in her eyes, a stranger.
Fortunately, later, with Gu Yaping's guidance and through his own gradual exploration, he finally understood the secret to getting along with her: a real man can bend and stretch, and it is okay to admit mistakes, soften, or play the victim to gain sympathy occasionally; in order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, when communicating, especially when expressing love, you can treat your wife like a child and say whatever you think, and you should not be too concise in your language.
Actually, after mastering the key points, he found that his wife was very easy to please. As long as he did the above two things, there would be basically no misunderstandings between them, and his wife would become more and more dependent on him.
I can only blame myself for not understanding the ways of male-female relationships earlier.
With a sigh in his heart, Gu Yuheng looked up and smiled at Lin Chuxia, saying, "Probably... I didn't know how to coax people back then. Maybe I hadn't mastered the essentials of getting along with men and women yet. After all, I was just starting to experience romantic feelings back then."
"You were such a grown-up back then, and you talk about 'first love' so casually. Don't you feel a little ashamed?" Although Lin Chuxia was teasing him, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, sparkling.
"Why would I feel ashamed? There's no necessary connection between when you fall in love and when you end your single life," Gu Yuheng answered frankly. "Jiang Chenyuan did fall in love early, but he's still single, isn't he?"
In his opinion, those who fall in love early are not as good as him, who falls late.
Some people never find a wife in their entire lives. He just met her a little later, and he didn't take any detours along the way. He found someone he could spend his life with right away, which is already very good.
"When did Jiang Chenyuan start liking someone? What kind of girl is she? Why haven't you guys mentioned her?" Lin Chuxia suddenly became interested.
Gu Yuheng: "When he was in kindergarten, he had designs on a girl. He would bring her food and drinks every day and keep telling us that she was the girl he liked and that we couldn't take her away from him."
