Yu Wenzhou looked at the cartoon emoji sent by the other party and happily introduced to Gu Xiuyu, "We have always protected her very well. She has never been in love since she grew up. It's not because of a spoiled princess temper, but my daughter is too excellent, and her taste is as high as mine. Ordinary people just don't catch her eye."
He returned the phone to Gu Xiuyu. Gu Xiuyu looked at the angry emojis sent on the screen. Listening to Yu Wenzhou's words, he reached out and pressed the voice message to convert it into text.
[Xixi, this is the boyfriend your dad introduced to you. He is the son of your Uncle Gu. He's very handsome and is your type.]
Gu Xiuyu felt like he was a dish that had been fancied and was about to be bought home. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.
"Old Yu, rein it in. If you keep pestering him so crazily, he'll have psychological trauma. He might even come to think of Xixi as a strange person," Ye Qianzhi couldn't help but advise.
As soon as his precious daughter was mentioned, Yu Wenzhou became obedient.
Returning to his proper demeanor, Yu Wenzhou pointed to the phone in his hand, "You two have a good chat. You can ask her out when you have time."
"Okay," Gu Xiuyu replied politely.
But for him to actually contact her was impossible. He put his phone back into his pocket and stopped paying attention to the messages sent by the other party.
The servants had set the table, and Ye Qianzhi invited them to sit down.
Yu Wenzhou sat next to Gu Xiuyu, and from time to time he would turn his head to tell him about his daughter.
Gu Xiuyu was exhausted by the meal. He not only had to face the affectionate gestures of Di Mingjue and Ye Ziyu, but also listen to Yu Wenzhou repeatedly praise his daughter whom he hadn't even met.
By the end, he had no energy left to smile. He responded woodenly with stiff replies.
After the meal, Yu Wenzhou stopped Gu Xiuyu, who was about to leave.
"My daughter will be here soon. Wait and meet her."
Di Mingjue, standing by, raised his eyebrows in surprise. He never expected that one dinner would get rid of his love rival.
He leaned over to Ye Ziyu's ear and said, "Do you think CEO Gu will like Uncle Yu's daughter?"
Ye Ziyu glanced at his gossipy expression and slapped his arm irritably, "Don't get involved. Can't you see CEO Gu wants to dig a hole and escape from here?"
Seeing Gu Xiuyu's awkwardness, Ye Ziyu felt quite conflicted. She could accept anything, but feelings were something that others couldn't help with.
Moreover, it was only their first meeting, and Yu Wenzhou had already taken a liking to Gu Xiuyu. It was like a bandit chief forcing Gu Xiuyu to join their family.
Sensing the gaze, Gu Xiuyu looked up and met Ye Ziyu's sympathetic eyes.
He clearly liked her.
Ye Ziyu smiled sheepishly, fearing Gu Xiuyu's embarrassment, and quickly turned to talk to Di Mingjue.
The barrier between them was no longer just Di Mingjue...
Her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, let alone sit there as if nothing had happened.
Gu Xiuyu suddenly stood up, interrupting Yu Wenzhou.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Yu. I still have work to do. I'll see Miss Yu another day." Gu Xiuyu bowed apologetically to Yu Wenzhou.
Before Yu Wenzhou could react, he saw Gu Xiuyu say goodbye to the Ye family and walk towards the door.
He strode after him and blocked Gu Xiuyu's path, looking displeased. "You don't like my Xixi?"
He hadn't even met her, so how could he like her? Moreover, his heart was already filled with Ye Ziyu, leaving no room for anyone else.
Gu Xiuyu was about to apologize when a pleasant voice came from the direction of the door.
"Dad!"
"The female lead has arrived," Di Mingjue said excitedly to Ye Ziyu.
Following the sound of footsteps, Yu Xixi walked out from the dimly lit area.
As Yu Wenzhou had said, his daughter was both beautiful and lively.
Yu Xixi stopped in front of them and greeted them enthusiastically.
