Zhang Ran did not leave Los Angeles either; after all, the excuse this time was to accompany Huo Zhiyuan to handle some matters, and Huo Zhiyuan did indeed have matters to attend to here.

Although she did not need to handle them in person, since she had come, she still needed to take a look.

Zhang Ran followed along, treating it as a break, and it was only for two or three days, after which he could head back home.

However, this was all part of Zhang Ran's plan; as the saying goes, plans often cannot keep up with changes.

Ever since the incident at the hospital last time, Yu Qingyu had completely let go and had also cut off contact with that family.

It could be said that she had previously been taking revenge for the sake of revenge, which had caused her entire life to undergo a massive transformation.

She had been working in a job she did not like; although she worked well, she disliked such work from the bottom of her heart.

Originally, it would have been somewhat difficult for someone in her position to resign, as there were many agreements to sign, but with Zhang Ran there to speak for her, Taylor let her go without a word.

He even gave her a large bonus to reward her for her hard work over all these years.

This left Yu Qingyu with absolutely no goal to strive for; she was now engaged in fashion design, which was work she liked herself.

It could be said that one of the very important reasons why Yu Qingyu had previously worked for Taylor was to be able to see many cutting-edge fashion designs.

Now that Yu Qingyu had finally freed herself, and with no shortage of money, she naturally opened her own studio.

The clothes Yu Qingyu designed were not fashion-circle attire, but Huaxia Hanfu, which she modified to better suit the aesthetics of modern people.

However, because this was abroad, business was certainly not good, but she was not short of money either.

Moreover, because business was poor and such businesses were even rarer abroad, plus the fact that the clothes were all designed by her, she gathered together some international students or Chinese people settled in the United States who liked Hanfu, forming a small circle.

This kind of life made Yu Qingyu feel very comfortable and happy.

With no pressure from life, no pressure from work, and even less pressure from family, she was able to be happy every day.

Originally, Yu Qingyu had already made up her mind to live like this for the rest of her life; she was already forty-three years old this year, not young anymore, so she hoped the days ahead would pass slowly and peacefully.

But what Yu Qingyu never expected was that her romance arrived at this moment!

Yes, she had fallen in love!

The most critical part was that the object of her affection was eighteen years younger than her, meaning her current boyfriend was only twenty-five.

In fact, even now she still could not quite believe that such a May-December romance had actually happened to her.

What made her even more flustered was that not long ago, her boyfriend had proposed to her, and she did not know what happened, but she had muddled through and agreed.

Gu Rui had just finished making lunch when his younger sister, Gu Xinyi, came down from upstairs like a cat that had smelled fish.

Gu Xinyi lived in Yu Qingyu's home, and the two of them had met first.

If one really calculated it, it could be said that Gu Xinyi was the matchmaker for the two of them.

Gu Xinyi was Yu Qingyu's first client and also her most loyal one; from the very beginning, she had loved the clothes Yu Qingyu designed.

Yu Qingyu also liked this little sister very much; Gu Xinyi was like a ray of sunshine, happy every single day.

So the two of them naturally became close best friends; Gu Xinyi was still in school, and every day it was Yu Qingyu who took care of this little sister.

It wasn't until one time when Gu Rui came to visit his sister that, for some unknown reason, the moment he saw Yu Qingyu, Gu Rui completely fell in love with this woman.

Although Yu Qingyu was a bit older, she looked like she was only in her thirties; after all, she had been in the fashion circle before and maintained herself quite well.

Added to that, Yu Qingyu had the temperament of a young lady from a noble Huaxia family in her bones; the previous "strong woman" persona had all been an act.

Such a Yu Qingyu directly broke through Gu Rui's defenses, causing him to fall completely.

However, at first, Yu Qingyu did not care about Gu Rui's pursuit at all, nor did she take it seriously.

It was only after a series of events that she felt Gu Rui's sincere intentions.

Coupled with the little best friend Gu Xinyi fanning the flames on the side, the two of them just like that ended up together.

In fact, Yu Qingyu had not planned on getting married at the beginning; perhaps she was just experiencing the feeling of being in love.

She had never expected from the bottom of her heart that Gu Rui would really marry her, after all, the age gap was so large.

But the result was that Gu Rui really did propose!

"Sister Yu, time to eat," Gu Xinyi shouted loudly.

Yu Qingyu came back to her senses, looked at the ring in her hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed her chaotic thoughts.

Ever since the two of them confirmed their romantic relationship, the meals were basically cooked by Gu Rui, and his culinary skills were actually quite good.

No one expected that this aloof male god would actually have such cooking skills.

"Qingyu, the wedding dress is all ready; let's go take a look in a while," Gu Rui said with a smile, his voice very gentle.

Always aloof, he had also been melted upon meeting the person he truly loved.

Before Yu Qingyu could speak, she heard Gu Xinyi say: "I want to go too; I also want to see just how beautiful the wedding dress Sister Yu designed is."

"My dream is that my wedding needs to be conducted just like that; I want to wear a Phoenix Coronet and Rosy-Cloud Cape; just thinking about it is beautiful."

As Gu Xinyi spoke, she fell into a fantasy, her chubby little face full of longing and yearning.

Gu Rui helplessly tapped her little head, causing Gu Xinyi to immediately snap out of her fantasy, and she then bared her fangs and brandished her claws to show her dissatisfaction.

That chubby little face looked fierce and cute no matter how one looked at it.

"Alright, alright, I'm wrong, okay?" Gu Rui said, helplessly using his palm to push against Gu Xinyi's head.

Gu Xinyi then nodded with satisfaction and said 'viciously': "If you dare to do this again next time, I'll bite you to death."

"I'm so scared," Gu Rui feigned a look of fear.

Watching these two siblings bicker, a smile also appeared on Yu Qingyu's face, and the previous worries dissipated a little.

Regarding the wedding, Gu Rui had no objections, and compared to a Western-style wedding, he actually preferred a Huaxia-style wedding; perhaps he was influenced by his sister, or perhaps it was a case of loving the house and its crow.

Yu Qingyu smiled and said: "Let's go take a look at the wedding dress in a while."

"Sister Yu, Sister Yu, when I get married, you must design one for me too; I want to be beautiful too," Gu Xinyi said immediately; she had always been full of anticipation for her own future wedding.
