Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 580: Chapter 581: When do you plan to get engaged?

Gu Zhaohan didn’t say much.

He just briefly introduced their names.

However, the less he said, the more the others speculated about the relationship between the two.

Gu Zhaohan allowing this girl to stay in his room hinted something unusual.

But everyone was still unclear about how far their relationship had developed.

Xia Yangyang also greeted warmly and respectfully, “Uncle Xi, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Xi Jiachen courteously replied, “Sit down, let’s talk while we eat.”

Xia Yangyang sat down. Gu Qichen was right across from her.

He looked very upset.

Since Xia Yangyang came in, he hadn’t looked at her once.

Shortly after, Xia Weiwei also entered the dining room.

She directly went to Gu Qichen, “Brother Gu, you’re back.”

Xi Yankai interjected from the side, “Weiwei, I used to hear you call him ‘brother-in-law’ often. Why are you calling him Brother Gu now?”

Xia Weiwei used to call him ‘brother-in-law’ because Gu Qichen didn’t mind these words.

On the contrary, Xia Weiwei knew that Gu Qichen liked her calling him that.

But, both she and Gu Qichen knew that her new name for him was related to Xia Yangyang.

However, there were a few times when Xi Yankai had noticed it.

They didn’t even know Xia Yangyang.

The ‘brother-in-law’ they assumed was related to Xi Zijun.

But they didn’t think that she had been calling him ‘brother-in-law’ long before the ambiguity between Xi Zijun and Gu Qichen started.

But now, in front of Xia Yangyang, she could not call him that any more.

Xia Weiwei glared at Xi Yankai fiercely, said nothing, and sat next to Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang gave a slight smile—it all seemed so ironic.

Xi Zijun sat on Gu Qichen’s left, Xia Weiwei on his right.

He looked utterly relaxed.

Xi Jiachen turned his head to talk to Xia Yangyang again, “Zijun just told me that you and Xiao Han have known each other in the United States for three years?”

“Yes, we’ve known each other for many years.”

Actually, many people present, including Xi Zijun, knew about her past identity.

If Xi Jiachen knew that she was once Gu Qichen’s ex-wife.

Or, better said, once Gu Zhaohan’s aunt by marriage …

How caring would Xi Jiachen be towards her, knowing this?

However, at dinner…

Xi Jiachen didn’t deliberately pay attention to her relationship with Gu Zhaohan. He just casually asked about her work and life.

It seemed as if she was just an ordinary guest of the Xi family.

However, everyone was clear that Xi Jiachen regarded Xia Yangyang as Gu Zhaohan’s girlfriend.

But he didn’t want to draw attention to them and put pressure on them.

During the meal, Gu Qichen didn’t say a single word, only kept drinking non-stop.

Eventually, Xi Zijun couldn’t bear it and persuaded, “Your stomach is not good, so better to drink less.”

Xi Yanbo playfully chimed in, “Zijun is already worried about her husband’s drinking before they’re even married. I’ve also drunk a lot. Why don’t I see you showing any concern for me?”

Xi Zijun responded calmly, “Brother, stop teasing me. Your tolerance to alcohol has been cultivated in the romantic battlefield and you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Plus, with so many beloved women around you, it’s not my turn to show concern.”

“Listen to our younger sister Zijun, she’s so sassy. I originally wanted to toast Mr. Gu, but now I dare not.”

Xi Yankai calmly interjected, “She’s his fiancée, on what scale can you, a cousin, compare with her? Brother, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Upon hearing their words, Xi Jiachen casually questioned, “Yes, you two have been together for so many years. Now that the engagement news has been announced, when are you planning to hold the engagement?”
