So even if shshewon the championship, Zhong Yunxi still felt guilty. Although she didn't use any improper means to get the champion, he still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Especially the way the judges were looking at him, it always made him feel weird. The way they were looking at him always made him feel as if there was something he had yet to say.
"Yunxi, do you have something on your mind?" What happened? Did you hear something? " As Gu Cheng drove, he looked at Zhong Yunxi who seemed to have something on her mind along the way, afraid that she would find out something. She had obviously just come out from the base, how could he possibly know anything?
"No, why do you ask?"
"Yun Xi, I think you've been inside for too long. I'm not used to seeing us like this all of a sudden." He Ziming quickly changed the topic. He had even said that he wouldn't tell Zhong Yunxi about this Gu Cheng, but he kept asking his about it.
"Yeah, I'm really not used to it. Director He, is Noda okay?" Zhong Yunxi suddenly asked about the company's matters.
"The company, the company is doing very well. This time our special incense mixer has become the world's fragrance champion, I'm afraid we will have to sell our perfume better."
"Yeah, I finished the mission very well. It just depends on whether my boss is willing to pay for me to travel."
"Of course, you can go wherever you want. If you need people, I can also go with you."
If I bring you away too, Uncle Gu would be angry. The Gu family needs you, the Noda needs He Ziming, so you should properly manage the company over there. I'll just take Xiao Nian for a walk, and it won't be for long. " Zhong Yunxi obviously didn't want anyone to follow her. What she wanted was her freedom.
"But Xiao Nian has never left me. It would be very inconvenient for you to just take him along by yourself." Gu Cheng was very worried. Aside from Zhong Yunxi who did not say anything, Xiao Nian had been with him since young. If he were to leave now, even he would not be willing to part with him.
"Yeah, it's already been seven months for Xiao Nian, but I've never really kept him by my side. Compared to me, you're more like his mother."
"Therefore, it would be great if you could bring me along." At this moment, the thing Gu Cheng was most afraid of was Zhong Yunxi leaving by herself. If he wasn't by her side, she might know anything, and anything could happen.
Zhong Yunxi smiled and did not reply. She knew Gu Cheng was worried, but she was also very determined in her heart and she definitely did not want Gu Cheng to follow by her side. She had rejected him this time because she wanted to let Gu Cheng know her feelings.
"Yunxi, if you really want to leave on your own, then I can recommend a few places to you as my clients. That way, you can leave on your own and be taken care of by someone else."
He Ziming's suggestion was very timely. Zhong Yunxi immediately turned around and looked at him gratefully, she knew that he was helping her get out of trouble, with this suggestion, Gu Cheng would be able to let her go.
"As for the specifics, let's go back and discuss them later. Go home first, your Celebration is still waiting for you."
"Alright, we'll discuss this when we get back."
The few of them were thinking about Zhong Yunxi's journey, and all the way back to the Gu household. What Zhong Yunxi did not expect was that Gu Cheng's parents were also here, and they were even carrying Xiao Nian.
Even though this was the Gu Residence, Gu Cheng's parents normally didn't live here.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu." Zhong Yunxi greeted him respectfully, and He Ziming hurried to greet him as well. However, Gu Cheng's parents seemed to be very familiar with him.
"He won the championship?" Gu Xiangran looked at the girl in front of him. When Gu Cheng had brought her back, he said that he had found someone he liked.
This girl looked exactly the same as Yun Xi, and Gu Cheng was even unwilling to say who she was, since this was the same as asking them to marry a girl of unknown origins into their Gu family, not to mention that this girl was also pregnant.
Therefore, Zhong Yunxi's existence was strongly opposed by her husband and wife, but her normally filial son had actually become strong. No matter what they said, they refused to let Zhong Yunxi leave, and only brought her to live in their own villa.
But after he let her into the Gu family, Gu Xiangran had also seen her abilities, hence he was no longer against her existence. After a long time, he slowly discovered that Zhong Yunxi was really not the kind of girl that he thought she was.
Although she looked very similar to Yun Xi, her personality was completely different. She was modest and simple, and had never told Gu Cheng to do anything he shouldn't have done.
So, Gu Xiangran gradually changed his opinion of Zhong Yunxi. After all, the Gu family only had one son, so they couldn't really stop seeing each other after this.
"Yes, she won the championship." Zhong Yunxi took off his storage ring, and like a child handing over her homework, she brought it in front of Gu Xiangran, waiting for his evaluation.
"Good, not bad, very good, now the Gu family's perfume can open the way." Gu Xiangran nodded his head in gratitude. With this title, everything went smoothly, he never thought that Zhong Yunxi would not only look like Yun Xi, but also have the same level of ability.
"Thank you, uncle." Zhong Yunxi also smiled in relief. She looked at Xiao Nian, who was at the side, who was in Gu Cheng's mother's embrace, and extended his hand towards her, as if he wanted Zhong Yunxi to hug him.
"It's been so long since he returned, even Xiao Nian misses it. Quickly hug." The Madam Gu also saw through Zhong Yunxi's thoughts and hurriedly passed the child over. It had to be said that this was the first time she had seen this child, and she really couldn't let go of it. If this child belonged to Gu Cheng, then it would be great.
"Xiao Nian." Now that his son was in his hands, Zhong Yunxi no longer had the mood to look at the expressions of others. He tightly hugged his own son, and kissed again and again.
"Do you miss your mom too? You've grown up a lot in these past few days." Zhong Yunxi looked at Xiao Nian fondly, the love in her heart could not be described with words.
Parents, friends, people you like, children you like, they are all by your side, your life is so happy ah.
The corner of Gu Cheng's mouth raised, his entire being was brimming with happiness, and he did not want to think about the matter that he had been hiding from, if only he could stay here forever.
"Since you have obtained the championship, then the Celebration that we have prepared can begin." Even Gu Xiangran was smiling at this scene in front of him.
"Oh, that's right, that's right. Let's hurry up and start, otherwise the food auntie makes herself will get cold." He Ziming pushed Zhong Yunxi and Gu Cheng towards the direction of the dining hall.
This time, Zhong Yunxi was completely shocked. It was already surprising that the two of them came to be her Celebration, but Auntie Gu actually made food for him herself. Wasn't this just too surprising?
Could it be that there's something big to announce today? Zhong Yunxi looked at Gu Cheng anxiously, but Gu Cheng merely smiled.
"What do you think happened?" When she went to retrieve his things, Zhong Yunxi felt that she was asking He Ziming about them in a low voice. After all, he should know more than herself since she was by Gu Cheng's side.
"I don't know that they are all here, but let me remind you that this is not an ordinary scene." He Ziming had always seen through Gu Cheng's thoughts with a single glance.
"This is not an ordinary scene, what does this mean?"
"Gu Cheng's parents have accepted you, so there's only one possibility for them to come here."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Yunxi's eyes widened in fear.
"I'm saying that they're here to see their daughter-in-law. Do you understand now?" He Ziming took the plate and left, while Zhong Yunxi stood on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.
Looking for a daughter-in-law? What was this saying? Hadn't the Gu family's parents always disliked him? How could their impression of him change so quickly? But he was about to reveal his intentions to Gu Cheng, how could he accept him now?
It's over. This matter had become difficult to deal with. He couldn't possibly explain his feelings clearly in front of his parents, right? This was the kind of situation she was most afraid of.
Forget it. Since things had gotten to this point, he might as well take things one step at a time. He could only do this first.
When she returned to the dining table, Zhong Yunxi was the only one sitting next to him. Gu Cheng's parents and He Ziming were both sitting opposite to him, and such a scene made him even more uncomfortable.
According to He Ziming's reminder, the current Xiao Nian who was sitting between her and him looked like a whole family. It was a pity that he didn't want such an outcome.
"Yun Xi ah, I heard from Gu Cheng that after this competition, you're going to bring him on a tour?" Madam Gu was the first to speak, his gaze never leaving Xiao Nian.
"Mn, yes, I intend to take Xiao Nian out for a walk. I don't have much time to accompany him." Zhong Yunxi lovingly touched Xiao Nian's face, the love on his face couldn't be hidden.
"Actually, if you want to go out and relax, you don't need to take Xiao Nian with you." Madam Gu looked at Xiao Nian. After a few hours of contact, she already wanted to keep this child by her side.
"Huh?" Zhong Yunxi's shock was a conditioned reflex, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward. She didn't even know how to reply.
"Auntie Gu, I also think that Xiao Nian is very cute, but aren't you being too impatient just because you like children so much?!" He Ziming joked and picked up his wine cup, "For the sake of Yun Xi becoming the champion, let's drink."
"Ah, yes, let's have a drink." Zhong Yunxi also felt that she should overlook this topic by raising her wine cup.
He looked at Gu Cheng with a puzzled expression. Could it be that something had happened between the two of them? Didn't Gu Cheng tell him that he wanted to marry Zhong Yunxi?
Zhong Yunxi fearfully drank the wine in her hands. Fortunately, He Ziming was here, otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
After the meal, Madam Gu did not bring up the matter of Xiao Nian again, but Gu Xiangran had proposed to officially give Zhong Yunxi a position in the Gu Clan, so that she could use her identity as a member of the Gu Clan to meet everyone.
Zhong Yunxi could only agree to it temporarily, but no matter what the two of them said, Zhong Yunxi could only think of all the things they had said just for the name of her daughter-in-law.
Therefore, it was as if Zhong Yunxi didn't want to listen to him at all. She could only look at He Ziming with a pleading gaze, hoping that he could drag him out of this abyss of suffering.
