"Yun Xi, there's actually a question that I want to know about, but Gu Cheng never told me about it." Gu Xiangran put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Zhong Yunxi seriously.
Zhong Yunxi looked at Gu Cheng, and he was about to stop Gu Xiangran, "Father, I told you that this matter is not so important."
"Yunxi, if you're not willing to answer me, I can also not ask." Gu Xiangran still looked at Zhong Yunxi stubbornly.
"It's alright, Uncle. Please go ahead and ask." Zhong Yunxi could roughly guess what kind of problem it was.
"The rest of your family, I want to know what they do."
She knew that the Gu Family's parents cared a lot about this matter. Zhong Yunxi was silent for a moment, perhaps the Gu Family would object again if she were to explain her situation at this time, which might be a good thing for her.
"Dad!" Gu Cheng was a little angry. He had already rejected this suggestion many times, why did he smell it at this time? It made Zhong Yunxi feel so awkward.
"It's alright Gu Cheng, I don't think so. My past isn't anything shameful, right?" Zhong Yunxi smiled as she comforted Gu Cheng. After that, she also put down the thing in her hands and looked at Gu Xiangran seriously.
"Uncle Gu, I'm an orphan. I don't know who my biological parents are, but my adoptive parents do not like me, so after I was completely separated from them, I followed Gu Cheng here. It can be said that I don't have any other family members."
Gu Xiangran nodded, he never thought that Zhong Yunxi would speak in such a calm manner, and never thought that she would actually have such a background.
"As for my son, I had a marriage." Zhong Yunxi continued to speak, but Gu Cheng's expression changed. Even though he didn't explicitly say in front of her parents that Xiao Nian wasn't his child, she didn't deny it.
But now, Zhong Yunxi had revealed this matter. Someone who had been married before would probably be opposed by his parents again.
"Marriage?" Madam Gu's expression also changed a little. So it turned out that it wasn't a fiancée, but a marriage that was clear.
"Yes, I had a brief marriage, and then I was separated for some reason. There were no disputes, including the existence of the child, which he didn't know about."
When her situation was completely finished, Zhong Yunxi actually felt at ease. Her past was never caused by her fault, and even if she were to say it out loud, she wouldn't feel that anything was amiss about her.
"So that's how it is, there are some twists and turns, no wonder Gu Cheng was unwilling to tell us before." Gu Xiangran looked at Gu Cheng. For Zhong Yunxi to be able to speak of her past so calmly, but Gu Cheng being unwilling to speak of it meant that he really cared about it.
"Yes, Gu Cheng was afraid that I wouldn't like others to mention these things, but right now, I am already feeling at ease. After such a long period of time, with Gu Cheng's help and your tolerance, I am extremely grateful and I view Gu Cheng as my best friend."
"Best friend?"
"Yes, best friend."
He Ziming closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It seemed that Zhong Yunxi had finally seen through her intentions, and what she had said was to show to the Gu family's parents that she did not have any thoughts of staying with Gu Cheng.
As intelligent as Gu Xiangran was, he naturally understood what Zhong Yunxi meant. "Alright, since that's the case, then let's travel properly. We'll head back first."
So it turned out that his son had always been insisting on his one-sided wish. To be able to be liked by Gu Cheng in this kind of situation, he must really have some outstanding points.
Although she liked Xiao Nian, she still took her own things and left with a terrible expression. Gu Cheng was her only son, she had originally wanted to marry him, but now that woman actually didn't like her son, that was unreasonable.
The warm atmosphere suddenly stopped, and Gu Cheng's face did not look good either. He had originally come here with great difficulty to convince his parents to help him create this Celebration, but now it had become like this.
"Gu Cheng, I have something to say to you. Zi Po, help me look after Xiao Nian." Zhong Yunxi handed Xiao Nian over to He Ziming. Since it had already come to this, she could just say everything in one go.
"Yun Xi, don't be too excessive." He Ziming quietly instructed. What he was more afraid of was that Gu Cheng would expose the matter after being provoked.
"Alright, I understand." Of course she wouldn't go overboard with her words. After all, Gu Cheng was still a very important person in her heart.
Xiao Nian held Zhong Yunxi's hand tightly, and looked at her with her big eyes, as if trying to cheer her up.
"Mom will take care of it, don't worry."
Today, Zhong Yunxi's words were too sudden, completely breaking through her own plans. Although he knew that Zhong Yunxi did not have any firm intentions, she still thought that it would be best if she could get the agreement of one of the two parties.
However, all his efforts seemed to have been in vain. After hearing this news, his parents would definitely oppose it again.
"Gu Cheng, stop drinking." Zhong Yunxi took down the wine cup in his hand, "Your stomach wasn't good in the first place, why is there such a strong wine today?" There was a hint of blame in her tone.
"Yunxi, do you really care about me?"
"Of course, how could I not care about you?"
"Why, because I'm your best friend?" Gu Cheng's tone was a little wronged. Even though he had done so much, he was still stumped by these few words. How could he not be angry?
"Gu Cheng, is this our relationship?" Zhong Yunxi walked in front of him, and carefully and cutely looked at him.
"Gu Cheng, there are some things that I have been thinking about for a long time. Can you listen to what I have to say?"
Gu Cheng did not speak. He felt that his heart had fallen from its initial state of hope into the endless abyss, but unfortunately, he had no way to resist.
"I know what you mean by that. However, I have already said that we are friends."
"But I've never treated you as a friend. Not long after I brought you back, I started liking you, and at that time, even though you might not know about it, I have always loved you, Zhong Yunxi." Gu Cheng knew that this was his last chance, so she didn't need to hide his intentions anymore and directly expressed his feelings.
"But I also know that you don't love me. Although I'm deceiving myself, I know that you still love Tang Zeyu, but I thought that as long as I kept watch over you, time would pass bit by bit, and you would fall in love with me. But why didn't I?
Gu Cheng looked at Zhong Yunxi in puzzlement. He really couldn't understand why the one she loved wasn't him.
"I know, I've always known what you had done for me. Gu Cheng, I don't know if you believed it or not, but I've also tried to make myself love you." Zhong Yunxi laughed bitterly, she also wanted to give him a better life.
Gu Cheng looked at her in shock. She actually had such a thought before? Had she thought of being with him?
"But I really can't do it. I really can't forget that person. I can't deceive you and say that I love you. That would be too unfair to you."
"Gu Cheng, people are like this, they never have any standards or guidelines on matters of the heart, right? If not, I will never separate from Tang Zeyu right? "
"So, Gu Cheng, I really have been thinking for a long time, and have made up my mind during this one month. I want to clearly tell you everything, and I can't let you wait any longer.
Zhong Yunxi said everything she had to say in one breath. She finally said it.
"Emotion is never rewarded when it is given. Yes, it is never." Gu Cheng lowered his head in dejection. That's right, to Zhong Yunxi, to Zhong Yunxi, to Kai Wen, didn't these examples all prove his words?
"But I can't do it. I only think about you every day, and I only see you in my eyes." Gu Cheng said painfully, how could he not understand these logic, it was just that he could not do it.
"So, I must leave this place, leave your side. Perhaps after a long period of time, you will forget about me, or perhaps your feelings for me will become less and less. During this period of time, you can meet someone more suitable for you."
"Will it change once I leave?" Gu Cheng stubbornly looked at Zhong Yunxi, "Even after leaving Tang Zeyu for so long, you still won't be able to forget him, right?"
"These are two completely different situations. Gu Cheng, these are different, I have loved him before, and we haven't. Therefore, it would be much easier for you to forget about me." Zhong Yunxi tried her best to explain.
A hundred things in Gu Cheng's heart could no longer be asked. Actually, where could there be a reason? Why did she not love him?
"We will be good friends for the rest of our lives. As long as you need me, I will appear at any time. But can love not be wasted on me?" Zhong Yunxi knew that she was very cruel, but this kind of ruthlessness was the best form of protection for their friendship, so she had to be cruel.
"Good friend, heh, good friend. Good friend." Gu Cheng repeated these three words, as bitterness filled every inch of his body, "Go, wherever you want to go."
After heavily pulling Zhong Yunxi's hand away, Gu Cheng slammed the door and left the villa. Even though he had thought about this kind of result, it was still hard to accept when he actually faced off against her.
Zhong Yunxi chased a few steps, and stood at the door in a daze. What else could she say after chasing after him? He didn't know what to say, but she needed time to accept such an outcome.
Seeing Gu Cheng rush out like the wind, and walk down to the ground in confusion, He Ziming heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like Gu Cheng didn't tell everyone about this matter, this kind of reaction was already good enough.
"He can't accept such an outcome. You have to understand that you don't have to go and find him. He will understand. Actually, he already knows this in his heart." He Ziming returned Xiao Nian to Zhong Yunxi.
"I know. I am already very grateful that he was able to accept it so calmly."
"Where do you want to go? I'll arrange for you to leave as soon as possible."
"Alright, you handle it. I trust you."
He Ziming held onto Xiao Nian's soft and small hand, and stayed silent for a while. "Yunxi, I want to ask you a question."
"Everyone has a lot of questions to ask me today. What is it?"
"Are you really planning to abandon everything from the past? Whether it is Tang Zeyu or the Zhong Family, they have nothing to do with you.
He Ziming's expression was solemn, he was startled, why did he suddenly ask him that?
"Of course, it has nothing to do with me." Although it was strange, Zhong Yunxi still replied seriously.
