Chapter 1850: Gu Yuxin Has a Change of Heart

This reason seems impeccable.

The wedding was very lively, the brothers and sisters all came, but Gu Yuxin did not come!

Although the person didn't arrive, the gift money did.

Gu Yuxin's reason was: "I'm currently defending my doctoral thesis, so I really can't get away..."

The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the journey is far; since she couldn't make it, Su Qiangying didn't take issue with it either, just feeling it was a normal matter, and no one thought too much of it.

After Moli and Su Qiangying's wedding, Zichen was, unsurprisingly, urged to marry once again.

He was vague and did not give a precise answer, and even prepared to change the subject.

Everyone was pressing him, but only Shi Youxuan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

She asked her son: "You two haven't had any falling out, have you?"

"No, we are fine, please don't let your imagination run wild."

"It doesn't look like it; I don't think you are fine. If you aren't doing well, tell Mom. It's okay, your mother has seen many things in this life; even if you have a marital crisis, it won't be able to strike us down."

"As long as you are well, nothing else is important."

"Thank you, Mom."

Zichen was truly grateful to his mother; his mother could give him the greatest understanding and tolerance.

United States.

"Hi, Gu, why do you always hide from me? Does my love really confuse you so much?" A handsome United States man stopped Gu Yuxin on campus.

The man was named Smith, a classmate of Gu Yuxin's in their doctoral studies; he liked Gu Yuxin, so naturally, he confessed!

It's just that his confession was rejected.

Gu Yuxin clearly stated that she liked him too, but she could not accept his love because she was engaged back home and had a fiancé.

Having a fiancé, in Smith's view, was not an issue at all!

Let alone a fiancé, what would it matter even if she had a husband?

Marriage is just a contract and cannot represent love.

Smith launched a series of ardent pursuits toward Gu Yuxin; he could clearly feel that the woman was very moved and happy, but she just never agreed to him.

Smith decided that today would be the last confession; if he were rejected again, he would let it go.

That was what he thought, and that was what he said: "Gu, you know I love you very much, but if I never get a response, even the most intense love will shift. So, I hope you can carefully consider today whether you want to accept me?"

Gu Yuxin said: "I have already told you the reason, Smith. It's true that I like you too, but I cannot have a foot in both camps; that is immoral."

"Of course, you have the right to pursue me, and you also have the right not to continue; this is your freedom. You can do what you want to do according to your own thoughts."

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Fine, I am willing to wait, waiting for the moment you make a decision, but I hope you don't make me wait too long; you know there are many women who like me."

"If you hesitate for too long, I will fall in love with someone else. Love is a two-way journey, not a one-sided, blind devotion. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, thank you very much for your frankness, I know."

If it were any other woman from Jiangzhou, she might have been offended by these words.

But Gu Yuxin didn't feel there was a problem.

Everything Smith said was a fact; even if he didn't say it, she could see it. Since it was a fact, there was no need to cover it up, as that would only seem hypocritical.

She liked Smith's frankness and also made up her mind.

The next day, Gu Yuxin returned to the country.

She returned very suddenly, without telling anyone beforehand. When Zichen saw his fiancée suddenly appear before him, he immediately called out in surprise: "My god! Did you fall from the sky? Why did you suddenly come back? You didn't even make a phone call beforehand..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because Gu Yuxin did not have the joy of two people reuniting after a long separation!

"Do you have something you want to tell me? If you have something to say, just say it; I'm listening."

Zichen had a very bad premonition, feeling that Gu Yuxin's return this time was not simple and didn't seem like a good thing.

She said to Zichen: "I do have something I want to tell you, but before I say it, could you go cook a bowl of seafood noodles for me? It's been a long time since I've eaten noodles cooked by you, and I miss them very much."

"Okay."

Zichen went to the kitchen to cook the noodles, and soon a bowl of seafood noodles was ready.

He placed it in front of Gu Yuxin: "Taste it, is it still the original flavor?"

She took a bite, looked up, and smiled: "It's still the original flavor, as delicious as ever."

As she spoke, she took a portable cheese out of her pocket and stirred it into the noodles.

Zichen's expression was a bit unnatural, but he still smiled: "The noodles I cook are still just as delicious, but your taste has changed."

"Yes, the taste has changed..."

The delicious noodles suddenly became tasteless in her mouth, hard to swallow.

"Zichen, I..."

Zichen didn't let her continue and interrupted her: "Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping. Even if your taste has changed, the rules left by our ancestors should still be followed occasionally. Let's talk after you finish eating."

"Okay."

After the bowl of noodles was finished, Zichen said to Gu Yuxin: "You can say it now."

"Zichen, I'm sorry! I can't marry you because I've fallen in love with someone else. Marrying you would be unfair to you!"

Zichen felt no anger, no humiliation, and didn't even feel surprised!

"Are you sure he loves you? If two people are together, it's not enough just to have love; it also requires many other things, such as responsibility, commitment..."

"I know, Zichen. I know I've let you down in this matter, but love cannot be forced. A marriage without love will be insipid."

"Hmm, I'm not trying to hold you back. I agree to break up. Even if you hadn't said it, I could feel that you had changed. You would have brought up breaking up with me sooner or later; it's just earlier than I imagined."

"I want to know everything about that man, not to interfere with you, but to help you judge whether that person is worth entrusting your life to. Can he give you the happiness you want?"

"No, no, no, Zichen, your views are outdated. Why must I entrust my life to a man? Can't I be responsible for myself?"

"Smith and I are in love now; he is pursuing me, he likes me, and I love him too, but that is only for now. As for the future, we will talk about it later. A lifetime is so long; spending a whole lifetime with only one person is too monotonous and too boring..."

"Heh!" Zichen laughed at himself.

Gu Yuxin had said this kind of theory before.

It was just that back then, she wasn't evaluating love, but hobbies!

She said that a person's interests and hobbies change, and that having only one preference for a whole lifetime is simply inconceivable and unimaginable.

At the time, Zichen was unconvinced, and of course, he still cannot accept this viewpoint now.

Although he does not accept it, he respects Gu Yuxin's decision.

"Fine, I agree to break up. I wish you happiness!"

"Zichen, I'm sorry!"

"There's no need to say sorry. You're right; love is mutual, not one-sided devotion, and certainly not about taking. Thank you for not deceiving me. I sincerely wish you happiness."

"You too. You will definitely meet a good girl who belongs to you."

"Are you comforting me? Heh, there's no need to do that."

"Then... goodbye?"

"Goodbye!"

The two of them broke up peacefully.
