Who knows?!
“Yes, my mom and dad already knew,” Gu Muyuan said, “I didn’t intend to hide it anyway. It’s a bit difficult to deal with Godmother Li, so I decided to start with Godfather Zhi.”
Her mother showed almost no surprise at the fact that she had abducted Ninth Brother, as if she had known all along.
"Hmm." Hua Zejiu tugged at Gu Muyuan's sleeve, closed his eyes, and said, "Let me catch my breath."
If you go to the lobby now, anyone can spot the problem; it's better to stay here and relax for a while.
"good."
"Why are you two so late?" Hua Yueli asked while serving food to Boss Zhou. "Especially you, Sister Mu, you're also of age, while Brother Si came much earlier."
"Something came up on the way, which delayed me." Gu Muyuan's expression was gentle and polite, just like her mother's. He reached out and picked up a cup of tea to offer to Hua Yueli, "Respectfully, Muyuan."
Hua Yueli was taken aback, but didn't think too much about it. She took a sip and laughed, "Why are you taking this so seriously?"
She didn't notice that Gu Nanyan's gaze towards her was a little strange.
Zhou Zhi glanced at his son standing behind Gu Muyuan, but didn't say anything more.
night
"You..." Gu Nanyan pinched his brows, knowing Hua Yueli's personality, "Have you thought it through?"
"Mom, you've asked me countless times," Gu Muyuan said helplessly. Was she really that untrustworthy?
“Gu Muyuan, you were only ten years old when you first told me this.” Gu Nanyan crossed his arms. “Besides, you and Ninth Brother have only met a few times.”
“If it’s just a passing fancy, you shouldn’t seduce him.”
"Is it possible that he's seducing me?" Gu Muyuan asked silently. In her eyes, Hua Zejiu's every move was an attempt to seduce her.
Gu Nanyan didn't say anything, only glanced at her.
“Ninth Brother is in politics, so your wedding won’t be a big affair.”
The eldest son of the Gu family is preparing for a wedding that will surpass the extravagance of his parents'...
"Think carefully about how to handle things with your mother-in-law." Gu Nanyan stood up. "Good luck."
He lifted his leg and walked out.
Gu Muyuan relaxed completely, slumped into the sofa, and covered his face with his hands.
It's tough.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Hua Zejiu gently covered Zhou Zhi with a warm blanket.
Zhou Zhiyang raised his chin, gesturing for him to sit down.
"Your waist belt looks a bit messy today," Zhou Zhi said casually, holding a glass of water in both hands.
Hua Zejiu was slightly taken aback. "Dad...you...you know."
“Your gaze is too revealing,” Zhou Zhi put down his cup and sighed.
Just like how Hua Yueli looked at herself back then.
Zhou Zhi was clearly aware of his feelings for Hua Yueli, but he also knew about the complexities of the Hua family, so he chose to escape and hide.
"Will you oppose us?" Hua Zejiu asked cautiously.
It's so hard to hide when you like someone.
“Your mother will not agree to you marrying Mu Jie’er.” Over the years, Zhou Zhi has become quite familiar with the ways of aristocratic families.
No prominent family has ever had its eldest son marry out.
Moreover, Zili's attitude was also very clear: Ninth Brother's entry into politics was partly Zili's intention.
"She'll handle it." Hua Zejiu remained calm, as Gu Muyuan had promised him.
Zhou Zhi pinched his brows. Ninth Brother was five years older than Sister Mu.
Many young men in the capital get married after reaching adulthood, and Hua Zejiu is already twenty-five years old this year. Hua Yueli naturally wouldn't urge her son, but some elders in the Hua family also hope that Hua Zejiu will marry someone as soon as possible.
When did it start?
“She confessed her feelings to me when she was fifteen and asked me to wait for her for five years,” Hua Zejiu answered truthfully.
Zhou Zhi didn't know when Hua Yueli developed feelings for him, but it was around that time.
But when it comes to younger generations, they always seem too young.
But think about it, they are all capable of standing on their own.
Especially Sister Mu, she is very outstanding.
At the age of fifteen, he began to take charge of the enormous Gu family.
She was even more stunning than Ziyan.
They know exactly what they want and are better able to control their emotions.
Today, he couldn't see a trace of affection for Ninth Brother in Sister Mu's eyes!
Such a person is even more terrifying than Ziyan back then!
"She's five years younger than you. Men age faster than women and have shorter lifespans. How can you guarantee she won't change in the future?"
Zhou Zhi could tell that his son was deeply involved.
“Dad, she will be mine, and only mine.” Hua Zejiu said with a smile.
He is mine, and can only be mine.
Zhou Zhi was somewhat dazed, and Hua Yueli's words from back then came to mind.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you know what you're doing. As for your mother, we can only leave it to Sister Mu."
“It’s late, Dad, go back to sleep. Mom must be worried.” Hua Zejiu squatted down and looked up at Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi reached out and ruffled Hua Zejiu's soft, short hair. "The Gu family produces romantics; I must have been overthinking it."
Hua Zejiu had no idea what Gu Muyuan and Hua Yueli were talking about, but the two successfully held their wedding.
However, Hua Yueli still had a hint of anger on her face when she was toasting.
Even Gu Nanyan seemed to want to fight.
"Tonight, they'll consummate their marriage, and we'll meet at the training ground." Hua Yueli grabbed Gu Nanyan, gritting her teeth.
Gu Nanyan frowned, just about to speak.
Hua Yueli retorted with a single sentence, "The debts of one's children are the debts of their mothers, isn't that right?"
Both Gu Muyuan and Gu Siyuan were very sensible from a young age, especially Gu Muyuan, who took on responsibilities early on. At that time, Gu Nanyan truly felt that he had made the right choice in having this child.
