Chapter 93: Get married after graduation
Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Ji Yunzhou became unhappy. He nodded and said, "I think Mom is right."
Gu Yuan: "..."
He sighed: "Then wait until I graduate?"
"Hey! Okay! Whatever Yuanyuan says is what it is!"
Mother Ji immediately clapped her hands and smiled, her joy evident in her words: "Then we have a deal. As soon as you graduate, I will start planning your wedding! It will be a grand wedding, and Yuanyuan will never be wronged in the slightest!"
Gu Yuan: "..."
He felt as if he had fallen into a carefully designed and gentle trap.
Ji Yunzhou looked at his mother, who seemed to be eager to call and inform the whole world immediately, and glanced at Gu Yuan, whose ears were flushed.
It's a bit funny.
He bent his index finger, tapped the table lightly, looked at his mother, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"Mom, your sudden attack almost scared your future son-in-law away."
"Go to hell, I'm so kind, how could I scare Yuanyuan?"
Mother Ji rolled her eyes at her son, then looked at Gu Yuan with a smile: "Yuanyuan, don't be nervous, Mom just wants to see you so much.
"Yun Zhou is a cold-tempered child who speaks little and has a sharp tongue. He has wronged you a lot, hasn't he? If he bullies you, tell your mother and she will teach him a lesson for you!"
When Gu Yuan heard this, he glanced at Ji Yunzhou and met his teasing and gentle eyes.
His face flushed slightly, and he shook his head, saying softly, "No, Yun Zhou... is very good to me."
"That's good, that's good!"
When Mother Ji heard Gu Yuan's confirmation in person, the smile on her face became even brighter.
She patted the back of Gu Yuan's hand repeatedly: "As long as you two are fine, Mom will be the happiest!"
She added, "Originally, today the old man at home and Yun Zhou's eldest brother both wanted to come with them to see you, but before they left, one of them got tripped up by an emergency meeting at the company.
Didn't you see how disappointed they were, especially his father? He didn't say it, but he was worried about it in his heart!"
Mother Ji said, looking lovingly at Gu Yuan's cheeks which were slightly red because of these words, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him:
"So, Yuanyuan, when you and Yunzhou are free, you must come to the old house more often and see us. Our home needs a well-behaved and sensible child like you to make it lively."
…
At the same time, on the other side of the table, two people with different thoughts were having a silent communication.
Gu Jing was just watching the show at the beginning, but later he watched helplessly as his brother was trapped by the mother and son of the Ji family with just a few words.
Even the idea of getting married after graduation was tacitly accepted, but my heart was already in turmoil.
Gu Jing: “???”
He raised his eyebrows slightly, mentally complaining furiously: Wait! What's going on? It's already decided? The wedding date is on the agenda? Have you asked me, your legitimate family member and dear brother, for my opinion?
What about the process? What about the sense of ceremony? What about the formal proposal?
He was very unhappy inside, but he had to keep a sweet smile on his face. After all, Mother Ji was there and he couldn't be rude.
He subconsciously turned his head, trying to seek some resonance, or at least an understanding look, from Li Chuan beside him.
As a result, he found that Li Chuan was not looking at him, nor paying attention to the big show opposite, but lowered his head slightly.
His eyes fell on his hands on his knees, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He was so focused that it seemed as if everything around him had disappeared.
He was indeed thinking, thinking about a question that was related to the scene before him, but also more profound.
The word "wedding" was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in his heart.
He looked at Ji's mother, ecstatic because of her son's marriage prospects, looked at Ji Yunzhou's attitude of connivance despite his outward disdain, and then looked at the person beside him...
He has loved Gu Jing for so many years, but for various reasons, he has always been reluctant to let go of her.
A thought popped up uncontrollably: Should I... propose to Gu Jing as well?
This thought, with its astonishing heat, instantly burned his mind.
He even began to subconsciously simulate the scene in his mind, should he choose a romantic restaurant?
Or is it at the place where they first met? What kind of ring should be prepared?
What style would Gu Jing like? Would he find it awkward?
However, as soon as this impulse arose, it was forcibly suppressed by his strong self-control.
No, that's too reckless.
Li Chuan immediately rejected this idea in his mind.
His relationship with Gu Jing is different from that between Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan.
Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan are special cases, so it's only natural.
And what about him? There are so many secrets between him and Gu Jing...
He couldn't take the risk.
Taking a deep breath, Li Chuan suppressed all the emotions surging in his eyes and regained his calm and composed appearance.
He raised his head and met Gu Jing's questioning and slightly dissatisfied eyes.
Li Chuan shook his head at him and gave him a calming look.
You can’t learn from Ji Yunzhou.
Li Chuan warned himself again in his heart.
The path he and Gu Jing are on requires more patience and meticulousness.
It is safer to take it step by step.
Besides, they are still young now.
He finally made up his mind.
He knows what he wants and has enough patience and determination to wait for the best time.
Finally decided to go out for dinner.
The location is still Lin Xiaoqian’s famous private restaurant.
The environment there is quiet and secluded, the dishes are exquisite and unique, and more importantly.
Lin Xiaoqian is one of them and knows the identities of Ji Yunzhou and Li Chuan very well, which makes it much easier for her to speak and act.
Li Chuan and Gu Jing naturally went together.
The group took two cars. Mother Ji took Gu Yuan and sat in Ji Yunzhou's car. They were still discussing the details of the future wedding with great interest along the way. Although Gu Yuan just listened with a blushing face most of the time and occasionally responded, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Li Chuan drove another car, carrying Gu Jing, and followed behind not too far away.
Inside the car, Gu Jing finally dropped his pretense of being a good boy in front of Ji's mother and asked angrily, "Achuan? What were you daydreaming about just now? My brother is almost being eaten alive by the Ji family, and you won't help me condemn him with your eyes?"
Li Chuan looked ahead, a smile on his face, and said in a steady tone, "Mrs. Ji really likes Gu Yuan, and Ji Yunzhou knows his limits. Let their affairs take their course."
"Huh, you only know how to speak for them."
Gu Jing grumbled in dissatisfaction, but did not continue to dwell on the topic.
He himself knew that his opinion was not important.
The car quickly drove into the familiar quiet alley and stopped in front of the restaurant.
When I pushed the door open, there was still a faint cool fragrance that was refreshing.
Lin Xiaoqian, wearing a cheongsam, came out swaying gracefully. Today, she had her hair tied up in a bun that looked even more charming, and pinned it with a jade hairpin. Her eyes were full of charm.
"Oh, such a distinguished guest has come to our humble home, it brings such glory to us!"
She smiled and glanced at several people, especially lingering on Ji's mother and Gu Jing for a moment.
The smile became more genuine and natural, without any trace of evil in it: "Mrs. Ji, you haven't been here for a while, and Xiao Jing is getting more and more handsome."
Her gaze finally fell on Ji Yunzhou and Li Chuan. She nodded slightly, and everything was said without words.
