Chapter 812: Call Me Brother-in-law
Editor: Henyee Translations
Since he liked her and she liked him, there was nothing to hesitate about.
So what if the plot was set? At least in this moment, their heartbeats were real.
Xiao Yize’s heart couldn’t help but race. He couldn’t believe his ears. “Miss Gu, you agree?”
Gu Jin suddenly reached out, grabbing his collar and pulling him closer. With her eyes fixed on his approaching handsome face, she planted a light kiss on his lips.
Her usually cool voice was now tinged with tenderness. “Xiao Yize, I like you too.”
For a moment, Xiao Yize was stunned, feeling as though countless fireworks were exploding in his mind.
It was as if numerous bullet comments were racing through his thoughts—
[Miss Gu kissed me.]
[Miss Gu said she likes me too.]
[Miss Gu has actually agreed to be my girlfriend.]
Xiao Yize found the night unusually beautiful. It felt almost unreal, like a dream.
That night, the first thing Xiao Yize did when he got home was to announce his newfound love to the nation and officially declare their relationship.
Xiao Yize opened his WeChat contact list.
He transferred ten million yuan to Gu Yang.
Gu Yang: [???]
Xiao Yize: [Call me brother-in-law.]
Gu Yang had already learned from Gu Jin that the two of them were together. As the leader of their fan club, the couple she had shipped was now a reality. Naturally, she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.
She didn’t expect her brother-in-law to be so generous. She promptly accepted the gift and changed her tone: [Brother-in-law!]
Xiao Yize replied with a smiling yellow face emoji.
Gu Yang’s eyelids twitched.
That expression was somewhat unnerving!
Could it be that her brother-in-law realized she had inadvertently delayed his courtship of her sister, and now he was displeased with her?
In truth, Gu Yang hadn’t anticipated that she was somehow an obstacle to their relationship.
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Gu Yang added: [Brother-in-law, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with regarding me, please let me know.]
Xiao Yize: [?]
Xiao Yize: [Sister, I can’t thank you enough. Why would I be unhappy with you?]
Gu Yang: “…”
Those peculiar words, coupled with that strange emoji, were rather unsettling!
Xiao Yize hoped Gu Yang would call him “brother-in-law” a few more times, but seeing her silence, he felt a bit perplexed.
Why did she think he was dissatisfied with her?
He read their brief exchange several times but couldn’t pinpoint anything amiss.
Finally, his contemplative gaze fell on the smiling yellow face.
Xiao Yize sent a yellow-faced smile emoji to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran promptly called. “Young Master Xiao, let’s cut to the chase. How did I offend you?”
Xiao Yize remained silent.
Lin Ran continued, “I didn’t realize that the food delivery incident would disrupt your plans with Miss Gu. But aren’t we past that now?”
Seeing Xiao Yize’s prolonged silence, Lin Ran struggled to recall how he might have offended him again. “I didn’t mean to jest about Auntie Tong moving your identities from Jin City to the capital and not getting Miss Gu.”
“It was just too amusing; I couldn’t help but laugh.”
Xiao Yize: “…”
He seemed to decipher the meaning behind that yellow-faced smile.
Xiao Yize smiled genuinely now. His tone was gentle yet tinged with a hint of mischief. “Lin Ran.”
On the other end of the line, Lin Ran trembled.
He feared Xiao Yize might assign him another mission to Africa or the Arctic Ocean.
Instead, Xiao Yize calmly stated, “I’ve successfully courted Miss Gu. She’s my girlfriend now.”
There was a prolonged silence before Lin Ran cautiously inquired, “Young Master Xiao, with your recent duties in the department and your instructor role, are you feeling fatigued?”
“I know a few excellent psychiatrists. Oh, and Sister Gu happens to be quite adept at this.”
