Chapter 989: Chapter 51: Starlight Shines Bright, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed

Instantly, Qi Xuesha excitedly raised her bright, sparkling eyes.

"You..."

Gu Zixi didn’t hide anything, smiled, and said, "I might not spend much time in the country. I like you; I liked you from the first meeting. So I postponed my trip to the United States. I’m not sure if we’re suitable for each other, or if you’ll like me too. Can we try to get along?"

Being so frank made Qi Xuesha blush even more, unable to speak.

Lowering her gaze, she’s uncertain whether nodding so quickly is good.

Gu Zixi raised an eyebrow, "Or... do you have a boyfriend?"

"No!" An instant tone, an adamant voice... made the two meet eyes, Gu Zixi was momentarily stunned, then let out a deep laugh.

Qi Xuesha’s face became even more flushed, shy, with a sweet smile on her lips...

But—

The result of the two starting a relationship was—

The Feng Family wholeheartedly approved, while the Gu Family—apart from Gu Qingfeng feeling slightly uneasy upon hearing it was the Qi Family that had been betrothed to their son-in-law years ago, Qiu Yuan simply laughed and said, "What’s there to be uneasy about? Our daughter has been married once, so isn’t it even? Plus, the young lady of the Qi Family was originally the legitimate fiancée of our son-in-law. Him pursuing our daughter might be morally questionable, but they’ve graciously compromised. If our son likes her, let them try it. If it works out, we can consider ourselves as having compensated the Qi Family with a son-in-law."

Qiu Yuan was so open-minded, naturally, Gu Qingfeng, who treasures his wife, wouldn’t argue, so he laughed and accepted it.

This matter then passed to the Feng Family, Feng Jingguo’s eyes were nearly beaming with joy.

The more Feng Jingguo interacted nowadays, the more he adored his third daughter-in-law—Qiu Zhixuan; her temperament, her character, her looks that brought forth a precious grandson, tsk tsk!

With the mindset of "Xuanxuan is the best," he extended his affection and treated Gu Zixi as the sixth son in the family. (Old Five is Demon, um... this ranking sometimes varies.)

Therefore, when he caught on to the potential development of young Zixi, Feng Jingguo not only cleared all places in the Feng Family suitable for courtship to create opportunities for them, but also proactively sought Mr. Qi for tea and matchmaking.

Mr. Qi was still brooding over the marriage annulment by Feng Chengjin last time. Hearing this time, it was the brother of the woman who stole his eldest daughter’s husband... he was nearly seething with anger, almost brandishing his cane to hit someone at the Feng Family.

But when Feng Jingguo gleefully summoned Gu Zixi down,

Mr. Qi glanced at Gu Zixi’s appearance and demeanor, observed his knowledge and conversation, then took a peek at the similar striking presence of Feng Chengjin.

If Gu Zixi develops for a few more years, his demeanor won’t be inferior to Feng Chengjin.

Mr. Qi glared at Feng Chengjin, grumbled, "Indeed, he’s quite decent! You can’t measure up to your brother-in-law!"

Feng Chengjin laughed, having no remedy for these old folks becoming more childish, agreed smoothly, "Yes, yes, Uncle Qi is right. The family of my wife is indeed better than me! Especially my brother-in-law, who completely inherited all the virtues of my wife!"

Mr. Qi was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of affection!

He had heard that after Feng Chengjin got married, he started showering his wife with love and spreading PDA when feeding dogs! The resentment echoed throughout the rich circles.

This joke was on Feng Chengjin initially, but unexpectedly, he was hit back by Feng Chengjin.

At once, his little heart trembled with anger, "Hey, you brat!"

Feng Chengjin chuckled lightly, "Uncle Qi, I’ve become old, not a brat anymore. But my child is born and looks particularly handsome, would you like to see?"

Thinking about his eldest daughter who still has no partner, Mr. Qi was so angry he nearly had a stroke.

Rapping his cane, Mr. Qi shouted, "Feng Jingguo! What kind of son have you raised! He he he..."

Feng Jingguo covered his head, for this issue he wanted to know too! And his stance was firmly on Mr. Qi’s side.

Thinking of his adorable little grandson, his heart...

wow... howl!

The whole family—

everyone was excitedly bustling about.

Gu Zixi, however, was rather amused yet helplessly looked at Qi Xuesha with a smile.

The two of them... were really just trying to see how it would work out, not even half a clue yet, why did all these things move ahead?
