Dr. Su, let's have a love affair

"Dad, Mom!"

Gu Jingzhou walked over and shouted in a low voice.

A pair of deep black eyes stared at Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan, who were wearing couple's dresses, making him feel particularly eye-catching and heartbroken.

"Jingzhou, Zishan, you've come just in time. Zishan, let me introduce you. This is Xiaoxiao, and this is Xiaoxiao's fiancé."

"Mom, I've met Xiaoxiao and her fiancé." Ye Zisan replied with a smile.

Then she elegantly extended her hand to Ji Xingyuan, her gentle eyes flickering slightly, "Mr. Ji, welcome to our engagement party, nice to meet you!"

"Congratulations, Miss Ye." Ji Xingyuan smiled faintly and shook hands with Ye Zisan politely.

"Thank you."

"Mr. Gu, congratulations." Ji Xingyuan then extended his hand towards Gu Jingzhou in a gentlemanly manner.

Gu Jingzhou stared at him for a moment with his eyes full of hostility, then he reluctantly stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

Then, without even saying thank you, he turned his gaze to Su Xiaoxiao.

He tried hard to control the anger in his heart.

But his tone was still a bit sarcastic, "Haha, Su Xiaoxiao, when did you get this fiancé? Our Gu family seems to have never heard of him before?"

"Just a few days ago," Su Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her lips, trying her best to remain calm, "I saw that Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin were worried about your marriage with Mr. Ye recently, so I didn't bother to tell you."

"Haha, really? Then you really care about our Gu family!" Gu Jingzhou sneered and teased with gritted teeth.

He seemed a little unfriendly towards Ji Xingyuan and Su Xiaoxiao, and everyone around him vaguely felt it.

Including Gu Bodao and Lin Jiahui.

Gu Bodao was not too surprised. After all, he had suspected before that his son and Su Xiaoxiao had something unclear.

This moment only further confirmed his guess.

However, Lin Jiahui was a little surprised.

Why does my son look like he is jealous of Su Xiaoxiao?

And he dared to express it so obviously in front of his fiancée.

She always thought that her son was arrogant since he was a child.

It was absolutely impossible for him to be attracted to a girl of low status, so he took in Su Xiaoxiao, who had been a beauty since childhood, into the Gu family without hesitation.

Now it seems that as a mother, she may have done something wrong with good intentions.

Fortunately, Ye Zisan looked normal and still so dignified and decent.

It seems that he didn't notice his son's abnormality.

Gu Bodao was worried that his son might say something inconsiderate in a fit of impulse, making others laugh at him.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, the guests are almost all here. Jingzhou, Zishan, today is your big day, you can't leave the other guests aside."

"Dad will go up and say a few words first, and then you can say a few words to everyone later."

"Yes, Dad." Ye Zisan nodded gently.

Gu Jingzhou had a lot of questions to ask Su Xiaoxiao at this moment.

What’s the story behind that fiancé surnamed Ji?

However, with so many guests present, he had no choice but to go up to the podium in the banquet hall with Ye Zisan and both sets of parents to complete today's engagement procedures.

Gu Bodao picked up the microphone handed to him by the host.

In a powerful voice, he spoke first, "Dear guests, dear friends and relatives, thank you all for coming to the engagement party of my son Jingzhou and my daughter-in-law Zishan tonight."

"The Gu family has been through quite a bit of trouble lately, and I'm sure you've all heard about it."

"At this juncture when the Gu family is going through a difficult time, my daughter-in-law Zishan is willing to get engaged to my son Jingzhou, lending a hand to our Gu family and standing by them through thick and thin. On behalf of the Gu family and the Gu family, I, Gu, express my deep gratitude for this righteousness and generosity!"

"Here, I would like to make a statement to my in-laws and daughter-in-law. In this life, I, the Gu family, will never let down the Ye family! I, the Gu family, will never let down the Ye family!"

Gu Bodao's generous words drew warm applause from the guests in the audience.

Ye Zisan's parents also looked relieved.

They actually didn't really approve of their daughter marrying Gu Jingzhou, but since their daughter insisted, they had no choice but to show their respect.

After Gu Bodao expressed his opinion, he handed the microphone to Gu Jingzhou.

She said to him forcefully, "Jingzhou, come here. As a man of the Gu family and the heir of the Gu clan, today, you must also express your stance to your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Zishan. Let everyone bear witness to you and Zishan's actions!"

"Dad, you already said it!"

Gu Jingzhou didn't pick up the phone, but frowned and declined.

He didn't expect that his father would do this to him in public today.

Not to mention that his beloved woman, Su Xiaoxiao, was present.

Even if she was not present at the moment, he would never make such a promise against his will to another woman.

"What Dad said represents his sincerity, and what you said represents your sincerity! Today, you must make a promise to Zishan in front of all the guests!"

"Dad, I understand Jingzhou's feelings. I don't need his promise." Seeing that the relationship between Gu's father and son became awkward because of such empty promises, Ye Zisan spoke up to smooth things over.

She doesn't need any promises from a man.

What is a man’s promise worth? It is not as valuable as a business contract with real money.

She had already understood this point.

Besides, her marriage with Gu Jingzhou was just a fake one and they would go their separate ways in two years. For her, doing this was just an unnecessary joke.

"Jingzhou, look at how sensible Zishan is. Where else can you find such a good daughter-in-law?"

"Forget it. For Zishan's sake, Dad won't make things difficult for you today. But remember this: from today on, you must treat Zishan well. If you treat Zishan badly in the slightest, Dad will be the first to come to grips with you!"

"Yes, Jingzhou, don't think your father's words are harsh. We are doing this for your own good. It's hard to find a daughter-in-law as good as Zishan. You must treat her well in the future."

"Got it, Dad, Mom!"

Gu Jingzhou's mind was all on Su Xiaoxiao and her fiancé, and he had no patience to listen to his parents' teachings.

He just wanted the engagement party to end quickly so that he could go find Su Xiaoxiao to get things straight.

Ye Zisan was actually listening a little absent-mindedly.

Because of her gaze, she couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan.

Seeing how well-matched they were and how tenderly affectionate they were towards each other, she, who had always remained calm and composed in front of others over the years and rarely had big mood swings, felt her heart stirring.

She met Ji Xingyuan when she was 19 years old and studying in the United States.

Ji Xingyuan was the only witness and savior of the darkest and most unbearable period of her life.

No matter how calm, composed, and strong she appeared in front of him, she felt naked and vulnerable.

So she has always had a particularly complicated feeling towards Ji Xingyuan.

I want to get close, but I am ashamed to do so.

I want to stay away, but I don’t want to leave.

I want to love, but I feel I am not worthy of love.

I want to stop loving, but I can't help but keep loving.

From the age of 19 to 26, for seven long years, she has been silently following Ji Xingyuan's footsteps.

He was studying in the United States. Although she hated the United States very much, she still chose to stay there for another year in agony.

He graduated and returned to China. Although she had not graduated yet, she resolutely followed him back.

He became a top elite in the business world and was able to call the shots in Haicheng.

She worked hard step by step, becoming a top elite in the business world and able to call the shots in Haicheng.

He was low-key and calm in his dealings with others, so she also learned to be low-key and calm in her dealings with others.

Many times, she felt like another him.

Like another him, she is someone she likes and admires, but she is also someone who makes her feel sad and lost in the dead of night.
