Chapter 864: Unwavering Until Death
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Pei felt a chill and glared fiercely at Feng Jue. “I don’t agree to this relationship!”
He couldn’t fathom why Feng Jue would claim to be his sister’s only brother. Did he have aspirations to become his brother-in-law? It seemed like an audacious move!
Feng Jue inwardly scoffed. He and Gu Yang were a perfect match, and he saw no reason to heed objections from a simple-minded brother.
Externally, he pursed his lips and affected a hurt expression, yet his eyes remained resolute. “Gu Yang and I are truly in love.”
Upon hearing Gu Pei’s objection, Gu Yang stifled a small laugh and stepped in front of Feng Jue, speaking gently. “Little brother, we haven’t discussed marriage yet. Right now, we’re just announcing our relationship.”
Gu Pei snorted dismissively and kept his gaze fixed firmly on Feng Jue.
If it weren’t for Gu Yang blocking his path, he might have confronted Feng Jue directly.
Ruan Xueling’s emotions were a mix of complexity and confusion.
She had always seen Gu Yang and Xiao Jue as close siblings, never considering a romantic relationship between them.
But as Xiao Jue stepped forward and grew closer to Gu Yang, Ruan Xueling found herself liking him more. He seemed to understand Gu Yang deeply and treated her with care—a stark contrast to Gu Yang’s previous fiancé who had broken off their engagement.
On one hand, Ruan Xueling should have been relieved and happy that Gu Yang found someone who cherished her so deeply. Yet, the memory of Xiao Jue’s audacity in ‘kidnapping’ Gu Yang right under their noses left her unsettled. It felt as though they had invited a wolf into their home.
Worriedly, Ruan Xueling asked, “Yangyang, Xiao Jue, is this serious? I know you two are close, but are you absolutely certain it’s love and not just familial affection?”
Gu Zhaoming, too, regarded them silently, his expression inscrutable and imposing in its silence.
“It’s love.”
Gu Yang was very sure of this.
A smile graced Feng Jue’s fair and handsome face. His eyes held a clarity as he addressed Ruan Xueling with utmost seriousness, “Mother, I love Sister deeply. It’s a profound love, akin to the love you have for Father. I want to protect her for the rest of my life and cherish her until the end.”
His world was simple and pure, centered entirely around his sister. She meant everything to him, and he was prepared to dedicate himself fully to safeguarding her happiness.
Ruan Xueling was moved by his sincerity and regarded Feng Jue more fondly. Seeing Gu Yang’s protective stance towards him, she felt both resigned and indulgent. “It’s reassuring to know that your feelings are genuine. If Yangyang and you are in love, we won’t stand in your way.”
Turning her attention directly to Feng Jue, Ruan Xueling’s demeanor shifted, imbued with the sharpness of a successful career woman.
“Feng Jue, if you ever hurt Yangyang and mistreat her, don’t expect any sympathy from me.”
Feng Jue promised earnestly, “Mom, you have my word. I will never let my sister suffer.”
Even though they had been together for so long, Ruan Xueling still wanted to remind Feng Jue about the unpredictability of human emotions. She believed in his love for Yangyang but understood the complexities of relationships.
The human heart was unpredictable. The higher the stakes, the lower the tolerance for betrayal. All she wanted was her daughter’s eternal happiness.
Gu Yang appreciated her mother’s concern and smiled warmly at her. “Thank you, Mom.”
Seeing Gu Yang’s understanding, Ruan Xueling felt reassured.
With his mother’s acceptance secured, Feng Jue breathed a sigh of relief. However, when Gu Yang glanced at Gu Zhaoming, she couldn’t help feeling concerned for her boyfriend.
Her father’s hostility towards Feng Jue was as daunting as her younger brother’s.
If Gu Pei remained unconvinced, Feng Jue could handle him physically.
But her father was a seasoned old fox in the business world.
