Xiang Shen had heard about Ming Sheng and Yu Heng for a long time, and went to find out about it in private. He didn't tell Gu Ziyi. Later, he couldn't hide it any more, so he told Gu Ziyi everything he knew.
In this circle, fewer and fewer people are willing to make friends with Luo Lian.
After Luo Lian actually took office, he almost used an iron-blooded approach to pull out some people who firmly supported Luo Mingsheng and were not optimistic about him. Then he cut off all cooperation between Mingsheng and Yu Heng, and even spared no effort to suppress Yu Heng.
No one knows why. A few days ago, the two families were planning to get engaged, but now they suddenly turned against each other, and everyone was caught off guard.
Even Gu Ziyi didn't understand why.
It was Luo Lian who said "I agree" that day, and now it is Luo Lian's own move.
The capricious despicable person, that's probably him.
For a long period of time, Gu Ziyi and Luo Lian had no contact, no meeting, no chance encounter... there was no coincidence.
Gu Ziyi moved back to Gu's house, so she met Tan Han more frequently. Before Lin Yuxi's book was criticized for plagiarism, it was because Gu Ziyi asked Tan Han to help.
Yi Yi had a really good impression of Tan Han, maybe because he was a boy who grew up right under his nose.
Strangely enough, Tan Han was good in everything, but Gu Ziyi and he just didn't call, didn't have any feelings of liking, and never considered the possibility of development between the two of them.
One day the two of them went out drinking together and talked about it.
Had a frank chat.
It wasn't awkward at all, it was quite relaxing.
Two people were in a barbecue restaurant, each holding a draft beer.
"Maybe it's because... it's inappropriate in all aspects." Tan Han laughed.
"Huh?" Gu Ziyi was confused.
Tan Han said: "What you want is actually different from what I want. To put it simply, the needs are different. I may start a family and need a 'good wife', and she may contribute more to the family than I do." More, this is my personal need. And you are obviously not suitable."
After the age of love, everything must be considered whether it is suitable or not.
"It's not that I don't agree with the value of women, I just look at it from my own perspective. Because my job prevents me from spending more time at home, my wife may need to be more family-oriented than me. I know this is very unfair. Fair enough, but that’s where I am.”
Tan Han told the truth.
He was talking about his future family composition.
Gu Ziyi didn't seem to have thought about life after marriage in particular, and she didn't know what the other person was like. Not sure if starting a family would be great either.
"We are not from the same world and cannot walk the same path, so we will never come together." Tan Han concluded.
When he was in school, he had a crush on Gu Ziyi. That kind of young and ignorant feeling is very pure. He regarded it as his first love and carefully treasured it, never telling Gu Ziyi. There is no need to say it, this is a very good memory, there is no "in progress" and no "bad ending".
Now this love has disappeared, but it only allowed Gu Ziyi to maintain a very good image in Tan Han's heart. Many feelings are unspoken and then gradually dissipate over time.
Gu Ziyi smiled and held her face with one hand, "I feel like the people around me are in pairs. I didn't think I would be envious before, but now I am a little...envious."
Tan Han clinked glasses with her and said, "Sooner or later we will meet."
Gu Ziyi raised her cup and took a sip of beer, "Emotions seem to be metaphysics."
Tan Han was amused by her and asked, "Really?"
"Isn't it? Feelings are hard to explain. If you like someone, you often can't explain why."
Few people can tell exactly why they like someone and why they love someone.
It's hard to elaborate in words.
Maybe feelings are really a metaphysics.
At the end of the conversation, the two half-drunk people took a taxi home.
Yi Yi thought that Gu Ziyi and Tan Han would have a relationship.
Gu Ziyi returned to the room and lay down on the bed. She picked up her phone and checked her WeChat Moments. I also saw Xia Yue showing off her affection.
She made a voice call to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue answered after a while, "What's wrong?"
"You dazzle me every day by posting on WeChat to show off your affection." Gu Ziyi said.
Xia Yue: "..."→_→
"Are you sick?" Xia Yue became angry.
Gu Ziyi said: "You are all in love, and I am the only one left."
"Are you starting to panic?"
"...No." Gu Ziyi couldn't explain exactly what she wanted. Maybe she hadn't thought clearly about it herself.
Xia Yue: "It just so happened that you called me today. I have something I want to inform you about."
"What's up?"
"Zheng Xingtang and I... are going to get the certificate." Xia Yue said.
Gu Ziyi's expression was expressionless. After a few seconds, "Huh?!"
"Am I dreaming?" Gu Ziyi began to wonder if she was drunk and hallucinating.
"No, I really plan to get the certificate."
"Why?" Gu Ziyi didn't understand. She really never thought that Xia Yue would get married before her. "You're getting married in less than a year of dating?! Are you having a flash marriage?!"
"Actually... there is no special reason."
Mrs. Gu Ziyi didn’t understand: “Why is that?!”
Then Gu Ziyi heard the second bombshell tonight.
"Let's get married."
"What?!" Gu Ziyi suddenly sat up from the bed, "Beng Bong Bong... Bong Zi?!"
"I originally thought of telling you in two days, so I'll tell you in advance. I went for a check-up and found out that I'm pregnant. It's less than a month old." Zheng Xingtang's skin is peeled off. Zheng Xingtang is really laying the groundwork for marriage.
"Oh my god... you have a husband and a child all of a sudden." Gu Ziyi scratched her hair, her whole body was messy.
"I plan to get the certificate first. The wedding may need to be discussed between the two families. I will tell you when it is finalized."
"Your speed is too fast." Gu Ziyi was stunned.
Xia Yue smiled: "I just learned about the pregnancy two days ago, so I was a little stupid. But... I want to give birth. It's my first time to be a mother. I'm a little surprised and a little scared. It's a very different life experience. It's not just a moment. Brain-heat, after careful consideration. Zheng Xingtang is a reliable person, I trust him."
Hearing what Xia Yue said, Gu Ziyi felt relieved, "Bless you." She was sincerely happy for Xia Yue.
I thought that Xia Yue would be a widowed king, but he met Zheng Xingtang by chance. In the near future, they would become a family of three.
