Chapter 255: Hold on to the right person
Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui smiled at each other and continued chatting. It was inconvenient to talk about private matters, so they could only talk about something light-hearted and pleasant. The main point was that the two of them hit it off immediately and had a great time talking!
Shen Minghui smiled and said, "I just heard Miss Lin talk about her views on sports. I really admire her. How is Miss Lin's equestrian skills?"
Lin Yuxi shook her head slightly, with a hint of yearning in her eyes: "I have never tried it, but I have always longed for it."
Shen Minghui's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Really? I'll find a place someday, how about asking Miss Lin to go horseback riding?"
"To be honest, Miss Lin, I have a horse farm overseas, so I have plenty of opportunities to ride horses. If Miss Lin doesn't mind, I'll take Miss Lin to experience it."
Lin Yuxi agreed happily, with a smile on her face: "That's great. It's my honor to be invited by Mr. Shen."
Shen Minghui smiled heartily and said, "Ms. Lin, you are too kind. It is my honor to ride a horse with you. I will make careful arrangements so that you can come with joy and leave with satisfaction!"
……
Seeing that the two were still chatting enthusiastically, Gu Yifeng couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked over hurriedly.
When he saw Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui having a great time talking to each other, his brows unconsciously frowned slightly, and he thought to himself: Why does my little sister look a little bit strange?
"Little sister, who is this?" Gu Yifeng suppressed the doubts in his heart and tried his best to make his tone sound calm.
Lin Yuxi sat up straight, smoothed the hair beside her ears, and said softly: "Second brother, this is Shen Minghui, Mr. Shen."
Gu Yifeng looked Shen Minghui up and down carefully with a sharp gaze, and said with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Mr. Shen, you and my sister seem to be...having a very good chat?"
Shen Minghui still maintained a decent smile, and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Mr. Gu, Miss Lin and I hit it off right away."
Gu Yifeng was silent for a moment, his eyes swept back and forth between Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi, his eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if he was choosing his words, as if he was suppressing his inner worries, and after a long time he said:
"Mr. Shen, my sister is only 18 years old and has just come of age. Please remember this!"
After that, he said no more, turned around and strode away.
Lin Yuxi looked at Gu Yifeng's departing back, and looked at Shen Minghui in silence. After a while, she said helplessly, "Second brother...he...is just like that. He has a strong desire to protect. Don't mind it."
Shen Minghui nodded slightly, with an understanding expression on his face, and said: "It can be seen that he cares about you very much!"
"But, Miss Lin, your second brother said...you just turned 18?"
Lin Yuxi winked playfully, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a bit of cunning: "Yes! Aren't all beauties eighteen years old? What's the problem?"
Shen Minghui was suddenly speechless. His original urgent thought of marrying his wife as soon as possible was shattered by the fact that she was only 18 years old!
He originally thought that Lin Yuxi was already of marriageable age and just looked young, but he didn't expect this to be the case!
……
After the welcome party, the Gu family returned home in a grand procession.
As soon as Gu Chengwu sat down on the sofa, he asked with concern: "Yuxi, how did you feel at the welcome party today?"
Lin Yuxi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's good, Dad. Everyone is very enthusiastic and the scene is very lively."
Wang Xiuyun came over, with a bit of curiosity and expectation in her eyes, and said, "I see that you and Mr. Shen are chatting quite speculatively. Is he interested in you? I think that boy is handsome and has a good family background. He is a good match for our Yuxi."
Lin Yuxi's face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Mom, please don't talk nonsense. Mr. Shen and I were just chatting casually, it's not what you think."
Gu Chuanming coughed lightly and expressed his opinion: "I think Shen Minghui is a handsome man with decent manners! But Yuxi, your own opinion is the most important."
At this time, Gu Yifei was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but speak: "My little sister is still young, it's too early to talk about this now, we are not in a hurry."
Gu Xingchen also hurriedly followed suit. He had not had enough of such a beautiful sister, so what shameless man wanted to snatch her away from him? Did he agree?
"That's right, Yuxi, take your time choosing, don't let your parents fool you."
Wang Xiuyun rolled her eyes at her two sons and scolded them with a smile, "What do you know? Although we are against Yuxi dating so early, you still have to hurry up and grab the good one if you meet one, otherwise you will miss it."
Lin Yuxi stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Oh, stop talking, I'm embarrassed by what you've said."
For a moment, the living room was filled with laughter and the family was having a great time.
……
In the following days, Shen Minghui, like a man deeply in love, frequently asked Lin Yuxi out.
They galloped on horseback together in the vast horse farm, drew bows side by side in the archery range, and every arrow seemed to be shot at the bull's eye of happiness; they shuttled through the streets and alleys together, tasting all kinds of special foods, and every bite was full of sweetness.
As they spent time together, the relationship between the two heated up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Gu family also keenly noticed Lin Yuxi's changes.
One day, Gu Chengwu called Lin Yuxi to his study room with a serious look. He stared at Lin Yuxi with deep eyes and asked slowly, "Yuxi, I see that you look radiant and energetic recently. Do you have someone you like?"
Lin Yuxi bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded with a red face, and said softly: "Dad, I like Shen Minghui."
After hearing this, Gu Chengwu frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while and said: "Although the Shen family is considered good in all walks of life, love is related to your lifelong happiness. You must consider it carefully and don't be blinded by temporary passion."
Lin Yuxi looked determined, with unquestionable persistence in her eyes, and said: "Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good, but every bit of time I have spent with him makes me firmly believe that we truly love each other."
Gu Chengwu looked at his daughter's determined expression, sighed, and said earnestly: "Okay, as long as you are determined to be happy, Dad will support you."
With Gu Chengwu's support, Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui's relationship was no longer hidden, but was displayed openly in front of everyone.
For the sake of their sister's happiness, the brothers Gu Chuanming, Gu Yifeng and Gu Xingchen would naturally not let Shen Minghui go easily and put him through a rigorous "test".
Fortunately, Shen Minghui finally won their recognition with his sincerity and deep affection for Lin Yuxi, and got the beauty!
