Love after marriage 007 We are family
Ye Shanshan was hesitating about how to respond properly when suddenly a childish voice sounded from behind, "We are family!"
Uh... how did she forget about this little troublemaker?
Ning Zi Yan seemed to be a bit slow in reacting, "Are you relatives?"
"Whatever." The smiling response was, "Gu Shou Zhang is my dad. After he marries Su Su's aunt and brings her home, Su Su's aunt will be my mom."
Rumble...
Ning Zi's expression was clearly one of being struck by lightning, and he didn't come back to his senses for half a day.
It was her brother who had a stronger ability to withstand pressure and still had an expression of being calm and composed, "Zi Yan, let's go pay our respects first."
The Ning siblings walked to the front of the mourning hall with their own thoughts, and when they bowed, Ye Shanshan's face had already lowered to a degree that no one could see.
After finishing the ceremony, Ning Ziyu hastily pulled Ye Shanshan aside and asked, "Tell me, what's going on!"
"The funeral is arranged for tomorrow. I still have some things to deal with on Monday, can you help me ask for a day off?" Ye Shanshan calmly changed the subject to the Milky Way.
"I'm asking you, what's going on with that Gu Shou Zhang!" Ning Ziyan wasn't having it, she had long since set her sights on him as a future brother-in-law, and she wouldn't just stand by and watch her good sister become the stepmother of a six-year-old!
"You didn't just hear that, did you? He... is my fiancé." At this point, Ye Shanshan also didn't plan on hiding it from Ziyan anymore.
"You... aren't you upset because of your grandfather's sudden passing? That Director Gu is not only older than you by a generation, but also a second marriage, and you..."
"It's not what you think, he has never been married." This was still told to Ye Shanshan by Xiao Xiao, although she didn't ask Gu Beichen directly, but she believed that Xiao Xiao wouldn't lie.
"What's it to you? He has a kid too, that's a fact!" Ning Ziyan was so angry that his hair almost stood on end.
"Xiao Xiao is a clever and sensible child, I will get along well with her." Ye Shanshan didn't think this was a problem at all.
"You..." Ning Zi's words were completely lost.
"Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing. Grandpa is gone, and you don't want me to be alone either, do you?"
"There are many people willing to take care of you, why must you find him? He's so old, with children, and a military marriage." This child is still resentful about his family's brother.
"Shh... keep your voice down!" Ye Shanshan hastily covered Ziyan's mouth, if the leader heard this, it would be disastrous. Just this one word "old" was enough to make him furious!
Ning Zi was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, she wished she could beat this stubborn girl. But she couldn't win a fight against her, sigh...
"Time to head back, I suppose." Ning Zihans was a busy person, with every trip having strict time limits. More importantly, things weren't as severe as Ziyu said, someone had already helped Shanshan settle everything, what else could he do by staying?
Ning Zi glared at Shanshan with a huff, reluctantly following her brother out the side door. As soon as they were outside, she turned to scold him loudly, "See? It's all because you didn't take the initiative! Now look what's happened, someone else has beaten us to it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Zi Han pretended to be stupid and perfunctory.
She didn't mind speaking her mind, "You dare say you never had a crush on Shanshan?"
Almost at the same time as Ningzi's words fell, a tall figure slowly walked over from a distance.
Damn it, Gu Shouzhang is a man who has been through thick and thin in the army, his hearing must be very... good.
"Are you two leaving?" Director Gu walked over calmly and asked indifferently. From his expression, it seemed as if he hadn't heard the previous sentence.
Ning Zi Han responded with a nod.
"I'll see you out." Director Gu didn't consider himself an outsider at all, and his tone was completely that of a family member.
"It's nothing." Ning Jia Xiao Niu had a temper and couldn't help but lose her composure.
"The deceased is gone, please restrain your grief." It was still her elder brother who had a good temperament, always being this humble and gentle.
"On behalf of Shanshan, thank you both. Goodbye." As for temperament and demeanor, Principal Gu was no less impressive.
After completely getting out of Gu's line of sight, Ning Ziyu still wouldn't let up, "Brother, they haven't formally gotten married yet, you can still try your best now."
"That's it, don't mention this again!" Ning Zihans didn't hesitate to give his sister a cold face in order to make her drop the matter.
Ning Zi said, "I'm not buying this! Brother is just trying to scare me with his cold face. I'm just unwilling to accept it, Shanshan is so good, why does she have to marry that old man!"
"I think Gu Shou Zhang is quite good, mature and steady, with a sense of responsibility. He will definitely take good care of Shan Shan." Compared to his sister, Ning Zi Han was much more open-minded. Others have already started talking about marriage, if he wasn't open-minded, what could he do?
"How can you boost someone else's morale and undermine your own prestige?"
"If I could, I'd really like to find a match for you too. With your temperament, you should be managed by someone who has received professional training."
It's started again, brother is going to start chanting. Ning Zi Yan couldn't bear the disturbance and unconsciously shrunk into a corner, trying to lower his presence as much as possible.
The restless younger sister finally calmed down, but Ning Zihans heart could not calm down for a moment. What he said earlier that Director Gu would definitely take good care of Shanshan was just to comfort Ziyan, in fact, he knew very well that Director Gu is now holding an important position in the military and it's hard for him to return home even once, let alone taking good care of Shanshan?
What he said was right, it's just that he wasn't proactive enough and kept waiting for the right opportunity. Who would have thought that waiting would result in missing out.
The night grew darker, and the front of the mourning hall was quiet. Even though Gu Bei Chen's footsteps were light, Ye Shuangshuang still felt his approach.
Ning's siblings had just gone out, and they might run into Gu Beichen who was seeing Xiao Xiao off at the gate. Ziyan usually spoke her mind without thinking twice, but she wouldn't rashly go up to Director Gu and start rambling on about something, would she?
Having such a zealous friend is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.
"It's unlikely that anyone will come at this hour, you go rest first." From the tone of Gu Bei Chen's speech, it seemed that nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
"I... am not tired." Ye Shanshan's beautiful big eyes flickered uncertainly, clearly wanting to say something but not daring to.
Gu Bei Chen didn't say anything else, poured her a cup of warm water and handed it over, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Shan Shan, do you have something to tell me?"
Hmmm, Director is indeed sharp-eyed and perceptive, nothing can be hidden from him.
"Zi said she and her brother just went out, did you see them?" This was so ambiguous, but not at all like Ye Shanshan's style. There were some things that she really didn't know how to say out loud.
"I've seen it."
"Did... did they say anything to you?" As soon as she spoke, Ye Shanshan's heart began racing at an alarming rate.
"Just some polite words, nothing special."
As soon as Director Gu said this, Ye Shanshan clearly let out a sigh of relief.
This little woman, what is she feeling guilty about? Could it be... that she and that young man from the Ning family are mutually in love?
