Capítulo 11: 011, his heart... how could it be?
Gu Xinfei was taken aback and instinctively looked at Song Zhen.
Since his entrance, although he'd been exhibiting humility and politeness, exuding gentleness and elegance.
He seemed close, yet there appeared to be some distance.
But when he mentioned Xinzhou, that smile was refreshingly warm, striking straight to the soul.
Song Zhen was a man of profound scheming.
Even though he had pursued Gu Xinfei in the past, she still dared not accept such a person.
Furthermore, Song Zhen was very persistent, the more she resisted, the more determined he became.
Gu Xinfei was content to let him drift along.
After all, if she could find someone better, that was great; if not, upon turning back, he would always be there.
Gu Xinfei diverted her gaze, silently eating her food.
About things she had once been so certain.
She now began to feel uncertain.
Some things, some people, seemed to have changed along with the passage of time.
"Hahaha! I love to hear what Song Zhen has to say!" Gu Yibo nodded in satisfaction, laughing brightly, "Zhouzhou is just like that, naïve and pure-hearted, without a trace of guile!"
Zhuang Xiuya curled her lips, discontentedly saying, "What, Zhouzhou is naïve and pure-hearted, and we are what about Xinfei?"
She kicked Gu Yibo hard under the table.
Gu Yibo looked at his wife.
But he received a meaningful glance from her.
Right, today was supposed to be about matchmaking Song Zhen with Gu Xinfei, so why did he keep bringing up the younger daughter?
Even though the younger daughter was precious, Song Zhen didn't fancy her.
And the younger daughter was Gu Yibo's treasured darling.
In the future, he would definitely scrutinize strictly, finding a superb son-in-law to marry into the family, entrusting the Gu name to Zhouzhou and the son-in-law.
Letting them live under his watchful eye, no one would even think of bullying Zhouzhou!
"Hahaha," Gu Yibo laughed, looking at Song Zhen, "Song Zhen, you're not getting any younger.
In the past, you were always busy with your career, without the heart to care for a family.
Now, your career is taking off, everything is stable, and you should find a good girl and settle down."
Song Zhen said warmly, "Destiny is something that one can only leave to nature."
Gu Yibo smiled as he looked at Gu Xinfei, "Actually, all those past years, we saw your affection for Xinfei.
Xinfei has been abroad for five years, and you still don't have a girlfriend by your side.
As Xinfei's parents, we are touched.
As your father's close friend, I also feel for you.
It's all because our Xinfei is no good, holding you back for so many years."
Song Zhen smiled faintly, "Uncle Gu, it's because I wasn't good enough that Xinfei kept rejecting me.
Besides, my pursuit of her was a one-sided love affair, having nothing to do with her."
"Look at that! Look at that! How understanding Song Zhen is!" Zhuang Xiuya was excitedly saying, immediately looking at her daughter, "Xinfei, Song Zhen is now a most sought-after eligible bachelor on the outside.
I know you've never cared about money or power, and these are not on your list of criteria for a partner.
But you've had your fun, and you've had your wild times.
Now you're twenty-five, and it's time to settle down, get married, and have children.
Don't let down Song Zhen any longer."
Song Zhen displayed no irregularities, casually dining.
Every one of his movements was the epitome of grace.
Gu Xinfei watched Song Zhen, feeling as though she might not be able to hold on to him.
Changing from her usual resolute rejections, she said softly, "I... give me two days to think about it."
Song Zhen stiffened.
For how many years had he dreamt she might consider him?
Not to give him an immediate response, at least not another firm rejection.
But really, upon hearing her say those words...
His heart...
Why would it?
Song Zhen stared blankly at Gu Xinfei.
This reaction pleased Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
They thought, surely it was because Song Zhen was overjoyed, so happy he didn't know how to react.
