Chapter 187: A Match Made in Heaven
Halfway through the wedding, it was finally time for the photo session.
Gu Huaiye and Xie Miaohan had just finished taking photos with Father Gu when Chen Zirui walked up to them, with Chen Xialin standing beside him.
The moment Xie Miaohan looked up and saw Chen Xialin, he subconsciously tightened his grip on Gu Huaiye’s hand, his eyes revealing a hint of wariness.
“Brother Gu, you look so handsome today,” Chen Xialin couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Thank you,” Gu Huaiye said with a smile.
Chen Zirui tugged at Chen Xialin’s clothes and reminded him, “Are you forgetting someone?”
As if suddenly remembering, Chen Xialin quickly looked at Xie Miaohan.
“Sister-in-law looks very good too.” Chen Xialin looked Xie Miaohan up and down, his smile obedient and sweet. “Very handsome as well.”
Xie Miaohan put on a polite smile and let go of Gu Huaiye’s hand.
“You guys want to take a photo, right? I’ll make space for you.”
Upon hearing this, the Chen brothers were startled and hurriedly held onto Xie Miaohan’s arm.
“You are a newlywed couple; how can you take separate photos? Let’s do it together,” Chen Zirui said quickly.
“That’s right. If Sister-in-law doesn’t mind us brothers, let’s take a photo together,” Chen Xialin chimed in.
Seeing this, Gu Huaiye curled his lips into a smile and looked at the Chen brothers.
“Hey, you two are holding both my wife’s arms. Where am I supposed to hold?”
Hearing this, the Chen brothers immediately let go.
Gu Huaiye laughed and linked arms with Xie Miaohan.
“Come on, let’s take a photo together.”
Chen Xialin and Chen Zirui exchanged a glance and tacitly found their positions.
To avoid causing any resentment in Xie Miaohan’s heart, Chen Xialin deliberately chose to stand next to Xie Miaohan, while Chen Zirui stood next to Gu Huaiye.
“Come on, say cheese loudly,” the photographer said to them.
The Chen brothers shouted “Cheese” loudly. Gu Huaiye rested his head on Xie Miaohan’s shoulder, his eyes revealing warmth.
The photographer pressed the shutter, seemingly capturing their happiness.
There were too many people attending the wedding. After toasting numerous people he had no impression of, Gu Huaiye was exhausted. He fished a cigarette out of Chen Zirui’s pocket and went to the smoking area to rest.
Chen Xialin appeared in front of him at some point and smiled at him.
“Brother Gu, can I keep you company for a while?”
Gu Huaiye had just taken out the cigarette and hadn’t lit it yet. Seeing him approach, he put away the lighter and simply held the cigarette in his mouth.
“Sure.” Gu Huaiye shifted over a bit.
“Sister-in-law is really beautiful.” Chen Xialin curled his lips, a smile in his eyes. “Fortunately, I lost to such an outstanding person. It makes me feel no regret at all.”
Hearing his words, Gu Huaiye looked a bit stunned, then said, “Xialin, I’m very glad you could come.”
“Of course I had to come. How could I be absent from such a big event as Brother Gu’s wedding?” Chen Xialin suddenly turned to look at Gu Huaiye. “It’s a good thing the wedding is now. If it were any later, I might really not have been able to attend.”
“Why?”
“My brother is going to marry Brother Xiang soon. In the future, we brothers won’t have to suffer grievances in the Chen family.” Chen Xialin’s tone carried uncontrollable joy. “I know Brother Xiang will treat him very well, so I can go study abroad with peace of mind.”
Gu Huaiye raised an eyebrow; this was the same situation as in the second life.
Sure enough, after Chen Zirui got together with Xiang Wanxing, Chen Xialin no longer had to compromise himself by marrying someone he didn’t like for the sake of the brothers’ safety.
“Have you made up your mind?” Gu Huaiye couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, I have,” Chen Xialin nodded. “I’m so happy to be able to choose my own life.”
Originally, Father Chen didn’t agree to Chen Xialin studying abroad. He felt that Omegas would marry and have children sooner or later, so studying so much was useless; it was better to form a marriage alliance early.
But Xiang Wanxing backed him up, warning Father Chen that having such thoughts again was discriminating against Xiang Wanxing, who was also an Omega.
If anything happened to the Chen family in the future, they shouldn’t bother coming to District B to notify him.
Hearing Xiang Wanxing say this, how could Father Chen dare to have any objections? He agreed to send Chen Xialin abroad and provide one million in living expenses on time every month.
“After going abroad this time, I might not come back again.” Chen Xialin looked at Gu Huaiye reluctantly. “Brother Gu, take care of yourself, and be happy with Sister-in-law.”
Gu Huaiye patted his shoulder. “You too. Be safe alone abroad. If anything happens, call your brother or me.”
“Okay.”
Chen Xialin looked deeply at Gu Huaiye, seemingly completely relieved. After letting out a breath, he slowly stood up.
“Brother Gu, I’ll go in first. My brother must have drunk a lot; I have to go persuade him, lest he get drunk and argue with Brother Xiang again.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
After Chen Xialin left, Gu Huaiye lit the cigarette, narrowing his eyes as he exhaled a smoke ring.
At this moment, Xie Miaohan also arrived, looking down at him.
“What did you talk about?”
Gu Huaiye burst out laughing, deliberately teasing, “Are you still jealous of him?”
Xie Miaohan didn’t say a word, which counted as tacit agreement.
Gu Huaiye helplessly pulled his hand and answered half-truthfully.
“Nothing much, just that Xialin is going abroad and asked me to keep an eye on Chen Zirui, so he doesn’t go out drinking all the time and hurt his relationship with Xiang Wanxing.”
“He’s going abroad in this life too?” Surprise appeared on Xie Miaohan’s face.
“Yeah. Actually, as long as I explain things clearly to him, he will let go of his obsession with me.” Gu Huaiye took another drag of the cigarette and said, “In the second life, he also let go and chose to study abroad.”
“But I can’t let go of my obsession with you. No matter how clearly it’s said, it’s useless.”
Gu Huaiye glanced at Xie Miaohan, knowing this guy was secretly competing.
He raised his free hand and pinched Xie Miaohan’s ear.
“I know. I can’t let go of my obsession with you either.” Gu Huaiye laughed. “So we are a match made in heaven; no one can tear us apart.”
