Seeing his wife praising Ji Zhinan with great joy, Father Gu first looked up at Ji Zhinan. Ji Zhinan immediately stood up and picked up the red wine glass in front of him: "Hello."
Father Gu took a sip of red wine out of respect and nodded lightly: "Sit down."
The attitude is not warm but not cold either.
Mrs. Gu kept praising Ji Zhinan, and Father Gu was listening patiently beside her with a smile in his eyes.
Ji Zhinan took everything in, and the doting in Gu's father's eyes was not fake.
It is said that the richer a family is, the more indifferent they are to feelings and family affection. For them, power is the greatest thing. As long as they can obtain the greatest benefits, losing a relative or using their marriage to marry someone else in order to consolidate their status is normal for them.
But Ji Zhinan did not see any conspiracy between Father Gu and Mrs. Gu. Father Gu only had eyes for Mrs. Gu.
…………
After dinner in the evening, Gu Yibei took Ji Zhinan out for a walk.
The Gu family in Country Y is very large, and it would take several hours to walk around it.
Gu Yibei took Ji Zhinan to the sea of flowers behind.
"When my mother was young, she loved flowers, so my father cleared this piece of land and hired a professional gardener to take care of it. Whenever my mother wants to see flowers, she can see them as soon as she goes out."
Gu Yibei held Ji Zhinan's hand and talked while walking.
"..." Ji Zhinan subconsciously looked towards the sea of flowers, and saw a maid working hard to prune them. Although she didn't know much about flowers, she, as an outsider, could see that the sea of flowers was cleaned very well and beautifully.
"Your father loves your mother very much." Ji Zhinan said affirmatively.
From seeing that look to knowing the source of the sea of flowers, she was certain that Father Gu loved Mrs. Gu very much.
Gu Yibei thought about it and nodded undeniably.
"Father and mother met at a banquet. Father hadn't been knighted yet at the time, but mother spotted him among the many men at first sight."
Love at first sight means a lifetime of love.
"My mother said that after the banquet, she received a note from my father. It contained a message."
Ji Zhinan's attention was drawn to her. She looked up at Gu Yibei and asked, "What?"
Gu Yibei said softly with his thin lips: "Hold your hand, and grow old together."
Hold your hand and grow old with you.
“…”
Ji Zhinan finally knew who Gu Yibei looked like. He looked like his father. He inherited his father's devotion.
Gu Yibei looked down at her, the corners of his lips curled up, "This is what I want to say to you: hold your hand and grow old with you."
He didn't know how long the rest of his life would last, but he just wanted to hold her hand and grow old with her.
“…”
Ji Zhinan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The two of them stopped and looked at each other face to face.
A cool breeze blew by, ruffling their windbreakers and hair.
Ji Zhinan smiled and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he turned around and continued walking, saying as he walked, "Your father might not agree with us being together."
Gu Yibei caught up with her: "Why do you feel that way?"
“Because we are so far behind.”
Even if Mrs. Gu likes her, Gu Yibei's father may not.
He is the head of the family. When doing something, he cannot just consider whether he likes it or not. He also has to consider the interests of the family.
