Chapter 1887: Zichen is Getting Married 1

In fact, if it weren't for Yueyue, the couple would have started their life as a duo long ago.

But later, having a daughter late in life tied the two of them down again, and they couldn't go anywhere.

Shi Youxuan had mixed feelings about Zichen's marriage.

She called Zichen aside and asked him: "Do you truly like that girl Li Xueer, or do you feel like you're just settling for marriage to deal with us?"

"Son, although we all hope you get married and have children soon, it is absolutely not so you can just find someone at random to get it over with. Marriage should be about meeting the right person at the right time and spending days and nights with the one you love. We don't want you to settle; we only want you to be happy!"

Zichen:...

He didn't expect his mother to actually say such things to him.

He was very touched, but he would not change his mind.

"You are worrying too much. At your age, isn't it enough to just see children and grandchildren filling the house? Please don't worry about my love life; children and grandchildren have their own fortunes..."

Because Shi Youxuan had always been a "Buddhist" parent, often keeping the phrase "children and grandchildren have their own fortunes" on her lips, the children had also learned it.

Just because Shi Youxuan wouldn't interfere in every trivial matter didn't mean she was indifferent to her children's affairs.

She said earnestly to Zichen: "Marriage is not child's play, and it is certainly not something to use to deal with your parents. It should be your commitment to love. Better to have nothing than to settle for something inferior. If you don't love her, please don't hurt her. It's unfair to both you and Li Xueer..."

No one knows a son like his mother.

Shi Youxuan could tell that Zichen still had Gu Yuxin in his heart.

Zichen smiled: "Mom, please don't worry about it. You and Dad should just be well and raise Yueyue to adulthood. We are all adults; we will take responsibility for our own lives."

He was already an adult and wouldn't be like when he was a child, needing to discuss everything with his mother and opening his heart to tell her his inner thoughts.

Now he had his own ideas, and he would stick to them.

Shi Youxuan sighed; since she couldn't persuade him, she decided not to interfere anymore.

Her son was right; they were already adults with their own thoughts and ways of doing things. They had to walk their own paths!

Shi Ran felt much the same as her mother and said similar things to her brother, but Zichen used the same words to brush his sister off.

Only then did Shi Ran realize that the brother who had always gone against her since childhood had truly grown up and was no longer a little kid.

Litian didn't think that much; he offered his blessings with a smile. His thinking was simple; he felt that marriage was happiness!

Zirui also saw through his eldest brother's intentions. He felt his brother's approach was fine, and he even felt the urge to find someone to partner up with to get through life.

Since there is no love, putting things out in the open is better for everyone. It's just getting what each needs; what's the problem?

Zihan stated: "I must find Tian Yuanyuan. I believe she is still waiting for me."

Among the brothers, the one who was the most unreliable and the biggest playboy had now become the most devoted and infatuated one. Everyone sighed; people really are the most complex animals.

Until the very last moment, no one can be sure what they will become!

——————————————————————————————

Zichen's wedding date was soon set; the ceremony would be held in half a month, and the bridal chamber would be at the Sheng Family home.

When news of Zichen's wedding spread, relatives and friends were all a bit surprised.

Hadn't he just broken up not long ago?

How was he suddenly getting married?

Many relatives and friends even thought that Zichen and Gu Yuxin had reconciled.

It was only upon seeing the names on the Invitation that they realized it was someone else!

Who was Li Xueer?

At first, everyone thought she was some daughter from a wealthy family, but after asking around, they found out she was also a chef.

A chef paired with a chef; it could be considered "well-matched in social status."

The Gu Family also sent gifts and blessings, along with a generous gift!

If you can't be in-laws, you can still be friends; the Gu Family's approach was quite magnanimous.

But no one expected that Gu Yuxin would actually return to the country on the eve of Zichen's wedding.

She asked Zichen to meet by the artificial lake where they used to see each other often. When Zichen arrived, Gu Yuxin was already there.

"Congratulations, you're getting married so soon." She reached out with a smile.

Zichen also reached out, and the two shook hands before letting go.

"Thank you."

"Did you come back to attend my wedding?"

"Yes, and also no. I came back this time to attend an academic seminar in the country. Of course, the normal schedule would have been a few days later, but I came back early. Will you invite me to your wedding?"

Zichen smiled: "Of course, as long as you are willing, I very much hope you can come."

Gu Yuxin also smiled, and she smiled very happily: "Thank you, Zichen. I will go."

"I want to see if your bride is worthy of you."

"By the way, what does she do?"

Zichen said: "A chef, just like me. Someone who has loved the culinary arts since childhood and has never changed that preference."

Gu Yuxin: "Are you blaming me?"

"No, you know that's not what I meant."

Gu Yuxin: "Yes, you are better suited to be with someone like that. Only with aligned values can you walk a long path. Zichen, you are a good man, very excellent. The girl who can marry you is truly blessed..."

Zichen wanted to say, I once held such blessings in both hands and offered them to you, but you didn't cherish them.

But saying it out loud would be quite pointless; since it's already over, be magnanimous—why dwell on it?

The two chatted for a while, and then Zichen shifted the topic to Smith.

"Is he doing well?"

"Who?"

Gu Yuxin didn't react for a moment.

"Smith, the man for whom you broke up with me."

"Heh, no, no, no, Zichen, you've misunderstood."

Gu Yuxin explained: "My breaking up with you was because I truly realized my inner self and followed my heart's feelings; it had nothing to do with any man."

"Smith is my ex-boyfriend, and just like you, he is a thing of the past."

Zichen:...

He truly had not expected that Gu Yuxin would have broken up again so quickly.

"You are not serious enough about relationships; this is not good."

Gu Yuxin: "We are all adults, so don't try to teach me how to do things; I know what I am doing."

The two of them met at school and were seen by Litian.

He happened to be at Jiang University to handle some business, and while heading back, he saw his eldest brother talking to his ex-girlfriend by the lake; he really wanted to go over, but in the end, he didn't.

Instead, he called his wife: "Feifei, guess who I saw at Jiang University?"

"Who did you see?"

"I saw eldest brother and Gu Yuxin, what should we do?"

Lu Feifei:...

She also felt that this matter was very thorny.

Tomorrow is eldest brother's wedding, yet now he is meeting with his ex-girlfriend; if they were to rekindle their old flame, what would happen if tomorrow's wedding didn't take place?

The couple were neither complicated people, and they thought about problems relatively simply.

They felt that they couldn't solve this matter themselves, so they should tell Zihan and Zirui; they have many ideas and might have a good solution.
