Ever since Xia Tianxin disappeared, it never appeared again, and thus, this matter was left unsettled. The public opinion online, was also almost all suppressed, and Gao Yiqing and Ning Zhe returned to their original state.
Even though everything had passed, the Gao Yiqing didn't seem to be that relaxed. After marrying into the Ning Zhe, she still hadn't recognized this daughter-in-law of hers. Every day, the two of them would clash against each other.
Fortunately, during normal times when her Ning Zhe was at home, this kind of situation would lessen a lot. At least her Zhao Motong would not do anything to her in front of her Ning Zhe.
Time passed quickly, and a month or two went by silently.
During this period of time, Gao Yiqing and Su Ziyu had no longer contacted each other. She practically did not receive any news from him, and it was as if this person had disappeared.
But she didn't have the time to care about all that, because Zhao Motong's birthday banquet was about to arrive.
It was said that every year's birthday banquet would be held, and naturally, this year was no exception. Moreover, this mission would fall onto Gao Yiqing, so she wanted to do as much as possible and come back to ease the tension between them.
Before this, it was a problem with the plan. In the past, they had always been at home in the villa, and this year should not be an exception.
Honestly speaking, although he had already been married for a period of time, he was completely unaware of his mother-in-law's preferences. Regarding this, Gao Yiqing had no other choice but to slowly probe.
"So this is why you called me here?"
Seated in the courtyard, Gu Shuangshuang who was drinking coffee put down his coffee cup, looking at the person in front of him, he was slightly surprised.
"Isn't it because I am relieved that you have done all these things?"
"What do you mean don't worry, you don't even know what to do, are you nervous? After all, this is the first time you're marrying into your family to manage a big matter. Normally, no matter what it is, there will be Ning Zhe to help you out this time."
Gao Yiqing felt that it was impossible to hide from her, she sighed helplessly, "I can't help it, you know how I am an old granny, right now I don't like her, I definitely have to think of a way to show off, otherwise she will look down on me forever."
"In the past, my Gao Yiqing would not care about this."
"In the past, I had no way of caring about Gao Yiqing, but now, it's different."
Although it was somewhat funny, she had no choice but to admit it.
Even people's hearts would change, not to mention that she had something she wanted to protect.
"Alright, let me help you think about it. Actually, there is no need to hold such a gorgeous birthday party."
"I remember she seemed to like magnolia."
"With magnolia as the theme? It doesn't seem too bad either. "
After this battle, this matter was basically settled. However, the specific plan still needed to be slowly considered.
In the past, Gao Yiqing was busy preparing a draft for the wedding dress, but now they were planning out various details for the birthday banquet.
After Ning Zhe finished showering, he discovered that his Gao Yiqing was still flipping through the things inside. It had been a long time since he last saw such a serious look on his face.
He walked over and hugged her from behind. "Sleep."
The voice carried a hint of command. He really didn't want to see this person continue staying up late at night.
Hearing these words, Gao Yiqing looked up at him with an astonished expression, "Isn't it still too early?"
"I think it's late."
"It's still early …"
It was not even ten o'clock, and when she had drawn the design, she had slept in the early hours of the morning.
But obviously those words were of no use, Ning Zhe couldn't be bothered to continue speaking with her, and directly picked her up, while struggling he rolled his eyes, "Can't you see that I'm messing around? Mom's birthday is coming up and I have to get ready. "
"She likes liveliness. As long as it's lively, it's fine. Just like last year, there's no need to spend so much time and effort."
"Is this still your mother?"
He never thought that this person would actually be so casual. If he let Zhao Motong know about this, he would probably die from sadness.
"What nonsense is this? When I say it's like this, it's like this."
Obviously, he wasn't joking. He picked her up and put her on the bed.
He lowered his head and looked down at her from above. Gao Yiqing turned his head to look at her, but he did not bother to look at her, as he said with some dissatisfaction: "I must at least express myself, or else Mother would always dislike me. I hope that she can recognize me as her daughter-in-law."
This was what she wanted to do the most right now, and she was more anxious than finding the evidence that framed her. Because right now, Ning Zhe was more important than anyone else, she only hoped that there would be no obstructions between them.
Seeing her slightly reddened eyes, Ning Zhe helplessly kissed her brows and eyes, and said as if he was comforting her: "She will recognize you, so you must be confident in yourself."
"There is, but …"
"But what? Even I can take you down, why are you afraid of my mom?" He raised his eyebrows, and looked extremely serious. His entire body was emitting a magnetism, and his Gao Yiqing s turned to look at him, looking especially serious. "What exactly do you like about me?"
She had never had the chance to ask, and she had never dared to ask before, because she was afraid that she would be disappointed after knowing the result. But at this moment, she really wanted to know, if she met this person by herself, their marriage was fake, and at that time, she never thought that Ning Zhe would agree to it, and only wanted to give it a try.
She was afraid that he was just curious. Once the feeling of novelty passed, she would have no interest in it, and at that time, she would just be thrown away.
"Why did you suddenly ask?"
Perhaps it was not because she did not trust him, but because she did not have a sense of security. It was because it was difficult for her to trust someone due to her family's reasons, which was why she kept on asking about the truth. She was afraid that all of this was fake.
"I just suddenly wanted to ask... It's fine if you don't want to answer. "
There was no hope to begin with, so it was within her expectation that he would not answer. There was nothing to be disappointed about.
"Because it's you. Is that enough?"
His gaze was sincere, as he restrained all of his ferocity. At this moment, he was the only one who was gentle towards her, and it seemed that he had achieved what his Gao Yiqing had never dared to think about in the past.
Starlight gradually appeared in her hesitant eyes. Compared to before, she seemed to have gained a life of her own. She was feeling happy, excited, and even happy.
"Do you know? "With these words of yours, even if you want to use them to flirt with me, I'm already happy. Whether it's true or false, I've never asked for much …"
Gao Yiqing had always lost more than she received, so she had never dared to ask for anything. It was the same now, because Ning Zhe was indeed too good to her, which made her feel worried about loss and gain. His good was too unreal, and she was afraid that the day would come when he would suddenly disappear.
So that's how it is …
Initially, he only wanted to let her be at ease, but after hearing her words, his heart felt an indescribable pain. He bent over and lightly kissed her forehead, like a dragonfly touching the water lightly, but he actually felt a slow warmth and caution from this kiss.
It was because she treasured someone that she would be so careful and not wantonly arrogant. She was so fortunate to have met this person. He was just like the light in her life, causing her to no longer be afraid of the road ahead.
She knew that regardless of the road ahead, he would continue to accompany her.
