Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 737 Not Every Relationship Leads to Marriage
Gu Yan stayed at the hospital for over two hours before she left.
Upon hearing that she was going to the Su Family Restaurant next, to have dinner with Bai Li and Jiang Huai, Gu Yu insisted on going with her.
Gu Yan was torn between laughter and tears, "Little brother, they’re all people I’m very familiar with, and it’s the Su Family Restaurant we’re going to; there’s nothing to worry about."
"That won’t do, if you’re going on a date with Bai Li alone, I’d still be a third wheel if I went. But now that there are two of them, what if Bai Li and Jiang Huai start fighting? Whose side would you take?"
"I, I can’t beat either of them..."
"They won’t hit you though."
"If that’s the case, what are you still worried about, big brother?"
Gu Yu was very persistent, so Gu Yan had no choice but to take her little brother with her.
They were going to the flagship restaurant of the Su Family on the main star, the largest and with the most complete menu. Even the parking area for the flying vehicles was vast.
Gu Yan and Gu Yu entered the private room they had booked in advance. Since they arrived early, the siblings ordered some tea and snacks and started checking messages on their light brains.
Gu Yu was looking at something related to his experiments.
Gu Yan, on the other hand, was checking if there were any unfortunate follow-ups to that post by Lin Luo’s little uncle.
She really hadn’t expected that Lin Lian, for the sake of love, would go so crazy. Although she hadn’t thought about actual suicide before, later, when she saw that Lin Luo had no reaction, and many people from Lin Family, as well as the friend Lin Lian found to post the message was arrested, she really did have the intent to kill.
She wanted to kill herself.
To make Lin Luo regret it for a lifetime!
Luckily, the Star Warrior found her in time in her small apartment and stopped her crazy act.
To prevent her from harming herself again, they sent her directly to a sanatorium for observation.
Gu Yan murmured to herself, "Big brother and Vivian were also destined to part. Little uncle and this Lin Lian nearly became a tragic bond."
"Right, matters of love are really scary, it’s better to focus on experiments," Gu Yu interjected.
Gu Yan was taken aback, feeling that she needed to defend the love between her and Brother Little Mushroom.
"Little brother, you can’t generalize like that, Bai Li and I are doing well."
"He indeed treats you quite well, but I always feel that something is lacking between you two," Gu Yu furrowed his brow, saying, "The people around me don’t date much, but compared to our parents, your interactions with Bai Li seem a bit insipid."
"Insipid?"
"Yeah, I can’t quite explain it, and I don’t have the experience either. You can go and ask White Tiger for some romance novels later. After you read them, you’ll understand."
Gu Yan looked puzzled and very curious, "Why does White Tiger have so many romance novels? Father doesn’t seem like the type to enjoy such novels."
Gu Yu hushed her with a whisper, "Appearances can be deceiving. Maybe Father is actually into it! Plus, if he didn’t read romance novels, how could he have courted our mom?"
Gu Yan thought of her usually stoic father and her beautiful and outstanding mother.
She nodded solemnly.
It made sense!
Meanwhile, Bai Li and Jiang Huai arrived at the Su Family Restaurant in their flying vehicles at the same time.
Jiang Huai, who had been informed by Gu Yan that Bai Li would join them for dinner, nodded at Bai Li and said, "I heard you’ve been living on the Landis Star for quite some time. When do you plan to return to the Insectoid Planet?"
"Haven’t you also been on Landis Star for a long time?"
"If possible, I plan to reside here permanently."
Bai Li observed the other’s feigned smile. This person was not simple at all, capable within a short period of time of leaving everyone around with a good impression.
Even Xiaoyan couldn’t stop praising Jiang Huai.
This was a pure, natural advantage of their Plantmen, and Jiang Huai particularly maximized this advantage to the fullest.
Bai Li did not answer him and instead stepped forward and walked in.
Jiang Huai chuckled softly and followed him inside.
Seeing the two of them walk in, Gu Yan, who had been worried about a potential conflict between them, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and activated the virtual menu screen, saying to Jiang Huai, "You’re not very familiar with the Su Family Restaurant’s signature dishes, take a look and see what you’d like to eat?"
"It’s a bit embarrassing for me to be the only one ordering; how about Gu Yan, you recommend a few dishes for me?" Jiang Huai paused, then added warmly, "Just go with what you like, after all, we’re both Plantmen."
Gu Yan didn’t think much of it and began to order.
However, Gu Yu sensed an unusual atmosphere and turned his head to look at Bai Li.
Bai Li remained expressionless.
One by one, they’re all unfathomable. Is it possible that his poor Xiaoyan did not notice this at all?
Halfway through, when Gu Yan went out to the restroom, Bai Li also stood up and left, leaving only Gu Yu and Jiang Huai in the private room.
"Jiang Huai, haven’t you noticed that Bai Li and my sister... are dating!"
"I know," replied Jiang Huai.
In fact, Gu Yan had already mentioned this to Jiang Huai. Inside, Jiang Huai felt it was a pity, but he didn’t show it.
Moreover, he maintained a polite distance from Gu Yan.
Gu Yu frowned, "So you know, but why do you keep getting close to Xiaoyan? Do you just want to be friends with her?"
"No, if there’s a chance, I still want to marry Gu Yan. I fell in love with her at first sight from her projected information, before I’d even met her," Jiang Huai confessed.
Gu Yu’s face darkened. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Jiang Huai smiled and remarked, "But rest assured, since she has a boyfriend now, I won’t do anything inappropriate, nor will I make her feel awkward. I will maintain a certain distance from her."
"You’re not giving up, but you also won’t disturb her now?"
"Yes, since she has chosen to be with Bai Li, it’s because she likes him. However, liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean they’re suitable. Dating someone doesn’t necessarily lead to marriage, and being married doesn’t mean lifelong commitment. I will wait for her."
"..."
Gu Yu still felt that matters of the heart were extremely complicated.
Luckily, he had decided to remain a single fish for this lifetime.
On the other hand, Gu Yan, still in the restroom, heard Xiaofu’s voice through the brain-computer interface, "Master, master, I got those romance novels from White Tiger for you. When do you plan to read them?"
"Ahem, several gigs? That’s a lot, isn’t it?"
"Yep, and White Tiger said if it’s not enough, he’ll find more for you!"
"No need, no need," Gu Yan laughed and cried at the same time. She was just curious as to which romance novels her father usually read. Two or three books would suffice, but several gigs were just too excessive.
Gu Yan casually flipped through a novel, and the title read: Seven-Year Itch. The passion between them had faded, leaving only familial love; as inseparable as the left hand and the right, full of minutiae and mundanity.
Gu Yan paused.
Was the tranquil nature of her relationship with Bai Li because they had known each other for too long?
Gu Yan emerged from the restroom, deep in thought, and just as she looked up, she saw Bai Li standing there waiting for her.
"Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?"
