Chapter 182: Hubby is Handsome Too
After sorting out the new house, Gu Huaiye and Xie Miaohan returned to District A together.
Father Gu was incredibly happy to see them. Holding their hands, he chatted for a long time, mostly asking if they had been wronged in District B.
“Dad, we’re doing very well; no one bullies us.” Gu Huaiye held Father Gu’s hand back and smiled. “Let’s go inside and sit. It’s windy outside; it would be trouble if you caught a cold.”
Father Gu laughed. “Look at me, talking so much I forgot. Come in quickly. I had someone prepare sago soup; it was your favorite when you were little.”
“Great! I want to eat three bowls.”
Father Gu said helplessly, “If you eat until you’re a big fatty, let’s see if Xiaohan still wants you.”
“How could that happen?” Gu Huaiye clung to Xie Miaohan’s arm, lifting his face to look at him. “If I become fat and ugly, would you still want me?”
“Yes.” Xie Miaohan nodded without a second thought.
Father Gu sighed. “Only Xiaohan is willing to indulge you.”
Father Gu complained verbally, but he was especially happy in his heart.
At his age, he didn’t know how long he could live. Now that there was someone willing to take care of his son, he had no regrets.
After eating dessert, Father Gu sent Gu Huaiye away and took Xie Miaohan to the study to talk.
Xie Miaohan sat on the leather sofa, his back straight, a hint of nervousness on his face.
Father Gu bent down, opening a drawer to rummage for something.
After a while, he smiled. “Found it.”
Father Gu took a seal to Xie Miaohan and handed it to him.
“Any document related to major decisions of the Gu Group must pass through this seal.” Meeting Xie Miaohan’s astonished gaze, Father Gu continued, “Originally, I planned to pass it to Xiaoye, but I can see that you are the one truly suited to manage the company. This seal is entrusted to you.”
Xie Miaohan didn’t dare to accept it and hurriedly shook his head. “This should be given to Huaiye. I’m just helping to manage the company; I can’t take this.”
“Why can’t you?” Father Gu forced it into Xie Miaohan’s hand and put his hands behind his back, preventing Xie Miaohan from giving it back. “Don’t think I don’t know. After you and Xiaoye went to District B, you were the one putting in the effort for the Gu Group. I am very at ease giving it to you.”
He patted Xie Miaohan’s shoulder. “I have only one wish: take good care of Xiaoye. This son has been spoiled by me and has many bad habits. I hope you can tolerate him. His nature isn’t bad; teach him well, and he will change.”
Xie Miaohan held the seal in his hand, his eyes stinging slightly.
“I will… Dad…”
Father Gu gave a sound of acknowledgment, then thought of something else and took a jewelry box out of the safe.
“This is Xiaoye’s mother’s relic. Originally, she planned to give it to her daughter-in-law herself, but unfortunately…” Father Gu didn’t want to dwell on such a sad topic and corrected himself, “I’m giving this to you on her behalf. This necklace might not be suitable for an Alpha to wear, but keep it for now. Consider it a token of affection from me and his mother.”
Xie Miaohan sniffled and choked out, “Thank you, Dad.”
“Don’t cry.” Father Gu smiled. “If you go out with red eyes, he’ll think this old man bullied you.”
The useless son’s heart had long since biased towards this daughter-in-law of his.
“Dad…” Xie Miaohan pressed his lips together and said with difficulty, “I once did wrong things. I am truly sorry.”
To get Gu Huaiye, he had once recklessly destroyed Father Gu’s life’s work.
Thinking back on it now, he was truly rotten.
How could he use such means to make Gu Huaiye submit?
Gu Huaiye had just returned from the yard when he saw Xie Miaohan with red eyes, and his expression turned panicked.
“Why are you crying? Did something happen?”
Xie Miaohan pulled Gu Huaiye into his arms, burying his head to kiss Gu Huaiye’s neck.
Gu Huaiye pushed his shoulder indulgently yet helplessly. “The servants are here; kiss when we’re back in the room.”
“Huaiye, I’m sorry…” Xie Miaohan’s voice carried a sob. “I used to be really bad. Knowing clearly how much you valued the Gu Group, I still…”
It was all his doing that led to Father Gu dying from illness and forced Gu Huaiye into a dead end, choosing to jump off a building to commit suicide.
Gu Huaiye sensed something was wrong with Xie Miaohan’s mood and glanced at the servants nearby, signaling them to leave.
Then he gently patted Xie Miaohan’s back. “It’s all in the past. I was wrong too back then; the tragedy was caused by both of us.”
Xie Miaohan sobbed softly, and Gu Huaiye sighed.
“Little crybaby, if your eyes get red from crying, you won’t look good trying on the suit tomorrow.”
“I’m not worth you treating me this well,” Xie Miaohan whispered.
“There’s no such thing as worth it or not.” Gu Huaiye cupped his face and kissed the corner of his lips. “As long as it’s you, I think it’s worth it.”
“But I caused you to never have children in this life.”
“I only said that back then to force you to leave,” Gu Huaiye laughed. “I don’t want children anyway. Taking care of them is tiring and troublesome, and it would affect our nightlife as a couple.”
Xie Miaohan was amused by his words, and a hint of a smile finally appeared in his eyes.
“Huaiye, I won’t make mistakes again. I will love you in the right way.”
“En, I know.” Gu Huaiye held his hand tightly.
The next day, they went to the store Father Gu had booked in advance to try on suits.
Both of their appearances were extremely superior; they looked good in whatever they wore.
It was rare for two Alphas to marry, so the shop assistants all ran over to watch, wanting to see which couple was so courageous.
Historically, it was always the Omega wearing a wedding dress and the Alpha wearing a suit.
Given their situation, the shop assistant suggested they choose one black and one white suit, as it would be visually better.
So Xie Miaohan chose a white suit, while Gu Huaiye wore a black one.
Under the surprised gazes of the shop assistants, Xie Miaohan, a triple-S Alpha, looked at Gu Huaiye with shy eyes.
“Hubby, do I look good like this?”
“Very good-looking.” Gu Huaiye didn’t skimp on praise. “As expected, Miaomiao looks beautiful in anything.”
The two stood in front of the mirror. Xie Miaohan hugged Gu Huaiye from behind, staring gently into the mirror.
“Hubby is handsome too.”
Shop assistants: !!!
So they had their pairing wrong!
A top-tier Alpha becoming the wife for love—it was truly thrilling!
“Brother, I can finally marry you. I’m so happy.”
Shop assistants: ???
Could it be…
Gu Huaiye hurriedly waved his hand at them. “Just calling for fun, not related by blood.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
