Gu Qi Chen held Xia Yangyang’s hand, placed it on the table, and said, “Yes, I’m married.”

Joanna said, “But, she looks so young.”

Gu Qi Chen smiled: “There’s a common saying in China called ‘an old cow eats fresh grass’, haven’t you heard of it?”

Xia Yangyang almost burst into laughter on the side.

An old cow eats fresh grass? She was surprised that Gu Qi Chen dare to say it.

However, it greatly lifted Xia Yangyang’s spirits.

At any time, Gu Qi Chen was mindful of her feelings.

Gu Mingzhu laughed and said, “Alright now, you, if you could, you would announce it to everyone you meet. The whole world knows you’re married. Stop showing off.”

The blind date was intended for Gu Zhaohan, but from start to finish, these two people had barely laid eyes on each other.

After Gu Qi Chen announced his marriage, Joanna seemed to become a lot quieter.

As for Gu Zhaohan- he was always incredibly discreet, quietly eating his food.

Xia Yangyang loved eating braised shrimp.

When the last big shrimp was on the serving plate, both Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan reached for it.

Xia Yangyang hesitated for a second and then withdrew her hand.

Gu Zhaohan, however, unreservedly took the shrimp and put it on his own plate.

This act was clearly seen by Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting next to them.

Gu Mingzhu reproved, “What’s gotten into you? How can you be so impolite?”

Gu Zhaohan acted as though he hadn’t heard anything.

Xia Yangyang quickly said, “Sister, it’s fine. After all, I am Little Han’s aunt. It’s only right that I yield to him.”

The hand Gu Zhaohan was using to hold his chopsticks noticeably paused.

In fact, Xia Yangyang knew that Gu Zhaohan did it on purpose.

There were so many shrimps just now, but he didn’t eat any. He had to compete with her for the last one.

At present, Gu Zhaohan was having issues with her, objecting her at every step. This happened not just at school, but also at home now.

Because of an incident in the hall earlier, Xia Yangyang was tamping down her anger.

She knew that Gu Zhaohan was sensitive about her being his aunt, yet Yangyang wanted to suppress him with this very status.

Regardless, venting a bit felt good.

As expected, Gu Zhaohan put down his chopsticks and said, “I’m done. You guys can eat slowly, I’m going back to my room.”

After saying that, he got up and left.

This was not an isolated occurrence; on several previous occasions, Gu Zhaohan would leave early whenever she was present. It was already impressive that he had managed to stay until the end of this dinner.”

The Gu family members all believed that Gu Zhaohan was simply going through a delayed phase of rebellion, but no one was overly concerned.

After dinner, Qiao Peiwen and the old master chatted in the study.

Joanna pulled Xia Yangyang to have a chat in the courtyard.

Gu Qi Chen went upstairs to Gu Zhaohan’s room.

Gu Zhaohan was writing a report in his room.

He found the detailed professional data on the computer screen annoying for the first time, he couldn’t take in a single word.

Gu Qi Chen walked in, surprising Gu Zhaohan, “Uncle, what brings you here?”

Gu Qi Chen walked over to Gu Zhaohan and handed him a refined small rectangular black box: “This is a gift from my last business trip.”

Gu Zhaohan opened it, and it was a black pen.

Gu Qi Chen asked, “Do you like it?”

Gu Zhaohan smiled and said, “Uncle, my tastes have been cultivated by you since childhood. I will love anything you choose.”

Gu Qi Chen seemed absent-minded as he asked: “Then why don’t you like the aunt I chose for you?”

Gu Zhaohan seemed slightly taken aback.

He quietly closed the pen box but did not respond.

Gu Qi Chen carelessly sat on Gu Zhaohan’s desk and asked calmly: “Do you want to tell me why you dislike Yangyang?”
