Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 225: The future belongs to the era of Gu Feng.
Military Camp.
United Front Department.
Gu Yi seemed somewhat distracted, a fact that did not escape his superior’s notice.
"Little Yi, what’s the matter with you? Always daydreaming? Did you hear what I just said?"
"I’m sorry, Commander," Gu Yi quickly replied apologetically, "I..."
Commander, "Is there something on your mind?"
"I’d like to take a leave of absence today to go home," Gu Yi said, feeling embarrassed.
The Commander approved.
Gu Yi drove off in his Warrior after specifically asking for leave from the military zone.
The reason he was so tense was that Yue Xuan, the girl he had feelings for, had sent him a WeChat message saying that her family was preparing to arrange a marriage for her!
Gu Yi felt like his soul had been pulled out of his body upon hearing the news.
Just as Gu Feng had spoken, he had secretly carried a torch for Yue Xuan, and it was after joining the military that he mustered up the courage to pursue her.
And he succeeded.
The two had been secretly dating for two years.
Besides his brother Gu Feng, Gu Yi hadn’t told anyone.
He understood that the Yue Family would never approve if they knew their precious daughter was dating Gu Yi.
In terms of social status and affiliation, the Yue Family, as a family with a Hall Master ceiling, belonged to the T0 circle in the grand courtyard, while Gu Yi, as the son of Gu Yuan, would not have made it into the T1 circle without the connections of Yu Gongfeng and Gu Dadong, at most being part of the T2 circle.
So, there was indeed a gap between the thresholds of the two families.
After all, Yue Xuan was the precious daughter of Head Yue, and Gu Yi was simply a branch member of the Gu Family.
But love is a strange thing; Yue Xuan also understood that their relationship was highly unlikely to result in marriage.
However, once she fell for Gu Yi, she didn’t care about the odds.
And Gu Yi had promised her that he would strive to perform well over the next two years, in the hopes of gaining approval from the Yue Family.
Gu Yi just hadn’t anticipated that the arranged marriage would come so quickly, catching him unprepared.
When he arrived at the place where he and Yue Xuan had agreed to meet, he immediately asked anxiously as he sat down, "What’s the situation? Did your parents say which family they want you to marry into?"
Yue Xuan shook her head, "They didn’t give specifics, but they’ve definitely told me to prepare myself emotionally, saying I’m 27 now and it’s about time I got married."
Gu Yi clenched his teeth and said, "Shall we reveal the truth? I’ll go home with you and confess our relationship to your parents!"
Yue Xuan also decided to take the plunge, "Okay, if they don’t agree, we’ll elope and go abroad. I’ve made my own investments these last few years; money is not a problem. As long as we don’t go to countries like Eagle, living comfortably in some small, apolitical country is definitely possible."
Gu Yi felt a flicker of confidence, "If all else fails, I’ll have to ask my brother for help. With the career path my father has laid out for me, it’s indeed difficult to gain your parents’ approval, but if I choose to join my brother, I can do much better than now!"
They drove back to the grand courtyard right away.
They waited especially for Head Yue to come home, then saw Gu Yi sitting in their living room.
"Oh, Little Yi is here?" Upon entering, Head Yue saw that Yue Xuan quickly went to help her father with his coat, while continually encouraging Gu Yi with her gaze.
Gu Yi stood up, bowed to greet Head Yue, and then, struggling, but determined, bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Yue, I have feelings for Yue Xuan, and we have actually been dating for two years. I’ve heard that you and Mrs. Yue are planning to find a marriage partner for her. If possible, please consider me. I am willing to strive and work hard for Yue Xuan. I know I’m not her match now, but I can ask my brother for help. I’ll start training hard in his department!"
Previously, his father Gu Yuan did not want him to suffer too much, so he had not agreed to let him join Gu Feng’s Pangu Department.
But now, for the sake of his own marriage, Gu Yi was willing to switch tracks!
Mrs. Yue, who had just brought out washed fruit, upon hearing Gu Yi’s words, expressed surprise, "Didn’t your brother tell you?"
Gu Yi had a puzzled look on his face.
Head Yue sat down, took a sip of the tea his daughter had poured with such care, and said with a laugh, "You two are even more anxious than us. I hadn’t even told Xuan who her marriage partner was, and you two have already panicked. Well, that’s fine too, this means mutual affection. A marriage founded on love is more reassuring for us."
"What do you mean, dad?" Yue Xuan was also confused.
Mother smiled and said, "I didn’t get a chance to tell you, but your marriage partner is Little Yi. It was his brother who suggested the match."
Yue Xuan and Gu Yi both widened their eyes.
The next second, they looked at each other, their faces beaming with joy, feeling as if they were intoxicated by happiness.
"You’ve got guts coming here and being so forthright. That shows responsibility. Good job!" Head Yue glanced at Gu Yi, becoming more and more satisfied.
To a certain extent, he could see his son Gu Feng in Gu Yi.
Nowadays, not just the younger generation in the grand courtyard, but even the elders took Gu Feng as a benchmark to set expectations for their own children.
Not to mention replicating Gu Feng’s glorious accomplishments, as long as one could show a fraction of his prowess or follow in the direction of Gu Feng’s plans, that would elicit pride and commendation from the elders. This spoke volumes about how highly Gu Feng was currently regarded by the elder generation in the courtyard.
"You can marry my Xuan, but you have to keep all the promises you just made," Head Yue looked at Gu Yi, "Following the path your father has set for you will certainly be outdated, only by joining your brother can you make a name for yourself."
"Pangu Department is where the momentum is right now. If you can really get in and work there, then I will agree to give Xuan to you!"
With the current generation of Hall Masters and Elders retiring, who, among the next, could lead like Gu Feng?
Almost no one!
Gu Feng was destined to stand out.
In time, his era would come!
And the true era of dominance for Pangu would inevitably arrive!
Thus, if Gu Yi could enter the department, even just as one of its core members, it would be far better than taking over Gu Yuan’s mantle!
