Old Man Gu was happily planning the wedding when he suddenly heard his brother say this. Of course he understood what Ye Xiaoan meant, even if he was very outstanding, he was still just a little girl without a family background. To a rich family, if they could get married together, it would be the best thing to do.
Gu Yizhen also heard Second Uncle's words and inadvertently frowned, "When does my Gu family need a marriage alliance to strengthen herself? Ye Xiaoan is a woman that I have accepted. No matter what, I will marry her, and I hope that Second Uncle can bless us. As for the marriage that Second Uncle talked about, I don't think that's really necessary, because Gu family's business will only grow day by day, and it is not yet time for you to use marriage to seek benefits. "
For a moment, Ye Xiaoan thought that what he said was true. What he said was very true, as if everything that he said was true. However, Ye Xiaoan also understood that he had only chosen to be with him because it was to his own benefit. That was why he couldn't help but blush and feel ashamed when she heard his words.
Second Aunt Gu patted her hands, and said to Gu Aojie softly. "You, are just worrying about too many things, isn't happiness for A Zhen the greatest benefit? "This is a deal that will reap benefits for the rest of my life, and one that will never lose anything. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
When Luo Hongyu heard her sister-in-law say this, she also quickly gave Gu Aojie a way out.
"That's right, I know that second brother is doing it for our family, but the most important thing is for the children to like them. As elders, we should just bless them. This is their youth era, so let's cut to the chase."
Although Gu Aojie was a little unhappy in his heart, when he saw that his big brother and sister-in-law had already said it like that, he could only acquiesce. After all, they were still family matters, so he shouldn't ask too much.
"I think that the eighth day of next month is a good day, if not we will set the date for the wedding. Xiao An does not have any family members in his house, we will have a meal together and then hold a wedding in the church."
When Luo Hongyu heard that his son had brought daughter-in-law back, he had already started to look at the days. Because he was not in good health, he spent most of his time recuperating in Hawaii. He was not worried about anything else, he was just worried that there were a few girls in his home. Now that their son had found a girlfriend, their daughter would probably be fine soon. When the two of them get married, he and that old bones will find a place in Hawaii to live and raise the family.
On the day of Ye Xiaoan's wedding, while Xiao Wu was at school, he took a leave to be his bridesmaid, and the wedding itself was simply an oath made in church. Ye Xiaoan had worn a simple and concise wedding dress that he casually picked out from the wedding shop.
Through the veil, Ye Xiaoan looked at the outside world, which also seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy light fog. He suddenly thought of Xiao Yicheng. He had even once imagined that he would be married with Xiao Yicheng in the future. He would gently look at himself and say that he was willing.
Just as Ye Xiaoan was in a daze, the wedding ring was already on his hand, it was just a simple platinum ring with a diamond embedded in the middle.
The diamond shone brightly under the sunlight. Ye Xiaoan couldn't even tell if this was a dream or a reality for a moment. When he woke up from his dream, he was eighteen years old. That carefree student at school had never experienced pain or betrayal, nor had he ever experienced such a helpless and unchangeable life.
Gu Yizhen had bought a private villa on Riverside Road, which was considered to be their wedding room. Ye Xiaoan and Xiao Wu said that they had to go abroad to study, and he did not know how long it would take for them to return, but they would return regularly to visit him. Although Xiao Wu did not look happy, he still agreed tactfully. Ye Xiaoan did not have much luggage to bring, so he only took a few pieces of clothes that fit on his body.
When they returned at night back to the villa, the wedding photo that Ye Xiaoan was wearing had already been changed to the traditional red qipao, and there were already servants waiting for them inside the villa. Seeing Gu Yizhen's car drive in, the person in charge of Lao Yan's business from the Gu family Mansion quickly led the servants to prepare the dishes.
After tormenting himself for an entire day, Ye Xiaoan was indeed hungry. After eating two whole bowls of rice, he finally put down his chopsticks and watched Gu Yizhen, who was still eating leisurely.
In fact, Gu Yizhen was really outstanding. Not only did he have a good family background, but he also had a strong working ability and a handsome appearance. Although his mouth was a little venomous and his temper was a little bad, no one was perfect.
Just like that, Ye Xiaoan quietly watched him eat, without him even realizing it, he had been immersed in the sight.
"What's wrong? You suddenly feel that your husband is very handsome, don't you? "Don't be too obsessed with me, I'm very low-key." Gu Yizhen lowered his head and smiled as if he deserved a beating. After finishing the last mouthful of rice in his bowl, he put down his chopsticks.
Ye Xiaoan quickly picked up the chicken soup and took a sip, doing his best to hide the expression in his eyes that he could not place.
"I just don't know where I should sleep tonight, so I waited for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here watching you."
Gu Yizhen habitually raised his eyebrows, looking at the panicking woman, he knew that her words were fake.
"Since we are married, of course we will sleep together. Could it be that you want to keep your room by yourself? What if you can't stand the loneliness anymore and bring me a green hat? "
Ye Xiaoan's face flushed red and he quickly stood up, "At the beginning, we agreed that marriage was a deal to deal with your family, it was just a trade on the market, we didn't interfere with each other, how could we sleep in a room?"
Gu Yizhen gracefully picked up the spoon and started eating the chicken soup, and calmly said: "We aren't interfering with each other, it means we aren't interfering with each other's lives, but we are indeed husband and wife, is there a problem sleeping together at night?"
"You're trying to be unreasonable. That's not what you said before. Just hurry up and arrange a room for me. I need to shower and sleep. I've been working all day and I still need to go to work tomorrow."
Gu Yizhen raised his head, and looked at Ye Xiaoan with an extremely puzzled expression, "You really don't have the concept of being mistress at all. Since we're already married, regardless of whether it's true or not, in this house, you're the mistress."
Ye Xiaoan realised that he was just teasing her. Thinking back to how she had lost control of herself, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a bad person! Without saying another word to him, she turned to look for Lao Yan.
The second floor of the villa was a very large study room. On the left was Gu Yizhen's room, and the right was his own room. Gu Yizhen had already instructed the people below to not divulge the news that the people of her family were not allowed to separate or sleep in their rooms, even to the big house in Gu family.
Of course, everyone in the family knew what expulsion meant. With Gu family's strength, if he really angered them, then it would not be as simple as being fired. He would not even be able to find a job in this city, and would instead face the possibility of leaving his hometown. Therefore, when they received this warning, everyone in the house quickly shut their mouths, not daring to go out and speak carelessly again.
Ye Xiaoan had lived for so long, yet it was his first time living in such a luxurious house, and on the first night, he actually couldn't sleep at all. She sat blankly in front of the bed, looking at the moon outside.
He remembered that the room he had lived in since he was young had a window like this. Every night, as long as he sat on the bed, he would be able to see the moon through the window. She remembered that sometimes a bird would land on her windowsill, and that bird would come often. Sometimes she would sprinkle some bread crumbs on the balcony, and the first time she saw the bird eat, she was so happy that she almost jumped.
At that time she was fifteen, and because both his parents were busy with work, other than studying hard every day, Ye Xiaoan would always accompany them. The two of them had also once said that after they got married, they would have a grand wedding, then go to Bali for their honeymoon, and go swim to see the coral reefs and colorful little fishes in the sea.
When Xiao Yicheng was still drawing in the drawing book, he said that he wanted to design a ring for Ye Xiaoan. However, the thing that he drew later on was extremely ugly, and at that time Ye Xiaoan was still mocking him, saying that if he really took out such an ugly ring in the future, he wouldn't marry him.
Ye Xiaoan looked at the ring on his ring finger. She was married today, but the groom was not Xiao Yicheng. She wore his wedding dress, listened to the vows of the priest, and exchanged rings. His father had once said that the bride was the happiest woman in the world, but why was she not happy at all?
She wished so much that when she married, her parents would be around, even if it was just a marriage full of benefits and deceit. But his father was gone, and even his mother, who had once loved him, had gone with him. Now, in the same city, the woman who lived on the other side was just a woman who was related by blood but had no feelings whatsoever! It was already more than three years since she had been worrying about Ye Xiaoan's mother ever since she left home. Maybe her mother had already thought of her as dead.
Although Ye Xiaoan kept saying that he was an orphan, without a parent, who wouldn't want to complete the most important ceremony of their lives with the blessings of their parents?
Just as Ye Xiaoan was still in a daze, the door opened from outside. Ye Xiaoan quickly wiped the tears off his face and turned to look at Gu Yizhen who had walked in.
When he normally saw Gu Yizhen, he would always look very serious and formal, but it turned out that he was actually so good-looking while wearing his household uniform. His hair was waxed during the day, and he looked full of energy. After taking a bath, he casually placed it in front of his forehead. He was no longer in high spirits during the day, but looked much more gentle.
"Would you like a drink?"
Gu Yizhen brought a bottle of red wine and two cups. Without waiting for Ye Xiaoan to speak, he sat beside her and poured two cups of red wine.
Ye Xiaoan drank a mouthful of red wine, feeling that his previously chaotic heart had calmed down a little. Wine was indeed a good thing.
"How do you know I'm awake?"
The two of them were very close, to the point that Ye Xiaoan could feel his breath on his ears, "Actually, I didn't know that you were awake, I just used the wine as a cover, wanting to come in and kill you."
