BXBX NOVEL Chapter 925: Jin, You're in Love Too?
Facing Tong Wan’s expectant gaze, Gu Yang called out obediently, “Mom.”
Tong Wan responded with a smile, tears glistening in her eyes.
Xiao Dingkun cleared his throat lightly to draw Gu Yang’s attention. When she looked over, he couldn’t conceal the broad smile on his face. “Yangyang, I’m your father, the husband of your mother, Tong Wan. Can you call me Dad?”
Gu Yang replied smoothly, “Dad.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I, Xiao Dingkun, have a daughter!”
If there hadn’t been so many people around, Xiao Dingkun would have danced with joy.
Gu Zhaoming felt a pang of jealousy.
No matter what, his daughter had called him father first—he was her first father!
Xiao Dingkun might be more influential, but he was now second in line.
Watching his father’s childlike happiness, Gu Yang smiled warmly.
It felt comforting to have another parent.
Seeing his daughter’s smile, Gu Zhaoming’s jealousy softened.
No matter what, as long as his daughter was happy!
At that moment, Gu Yang felt someone gently patting her head.
She looked up to see Xiao Yize, who was smiling with a charmingly refined demeanor… or rather, a refined and handsome appearance.
Xiao Yize’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “Sister.”
Out of habit, Gu Yang replied, “Brother-in-law.”
Xiao Yize was momentarily taken aback. While he was pleased to be called brother-in-law, he would have been even happier if she had called him brother and Jin sister-in-law instead.
Gu Jin couldn’t help but chuckle. He removed Xiao Yize’s hand from Gu Yang’s head and gently ruffled her hair. “Sister, you’re so obedient.”
Gu Zhaoming, Ruan Xueling, and Gu Pei were taken aback by Gu Yang’s use of “brother-in-law.”
Especially Gu Zhaoming, who looked at Xiao Yize with a hint of suspicion. He quickly asked Gu Yang, “Yangyang, what did you just call him? Brother-in-law?”
Gu Yang blinked, realizing she might have inadvertently revealed her sister’s relationship status.
Gu Zhaoming stared at Gu Jin in disbelief. “Jin, you’re in a relationship too?”
Gu Jin replied simply, “Yes.”
Gu Yang noticed her father’s face was turning pale, as if he might cry at any moment.
Gu Zhaoming’s gaze turned to Xiao Yize. “With him?”
Gu Jin remained calm. “Yes.”
Xiao Yize, ever the gentleman, addressed Gu Zhaoming with a smile. “Uncle Gu, Xiaojin and I are indeed dating.”
Gu Zhaoming clutched his chest and staggered slightly, tears streaming down his face. His grief seemed poised to overflow.
The last little girl in his family had been taken away without anyone realizing it?
His daughter had become involved with another young man before he had even gotten a chance to come to terms with it?
Gu Zhaoming couldn’t help but wonder if he had some sort of past-life grudge against the Xiao family.
He only had two daughters—how had one or both of them become involved with the Xiao family?
Gu Yang felt like she could almost hear her father’s heart breaking.
If she hadn’t known that Gu Zhaoming was in good health and free of heart issues, she might have considered giving him a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
Ruan Xueling was equally shocked. She glanced between Xiao Yize and Gu Jin. “Xiao, Jin, when did you two start dating?”
Xiao Yize replied, “After I went to university, I wanted to find a chance to visit Uncle Gu and Auntie Ruan, but I was always tied up with work, so it took longer than expected. However, my relationship with Jin was officially approved this morning.”
Ruan Xueling had heard many positive things about Xiao Yize from Tong Wan. Additionally, Xiao Yize had been a great help to their family, so she had a good impression of him and knew he was a reliable and trustworthy person.
Since the Xiao family was now Yangyang’s biological family, Xiao Yize was essentially her biological brother. Tong Wan had a high regard for Jin, so Ruan Xueling wasn’t concerned about their relationship with her mother-in-law.
She and Tong Wan were close friends who knew each other well, so Ruan Xueling was very satisfied with Xiao Yize.
