Chapter 572 Yifei's Sorrow

"Yifei..." Suddenly, a gentle voice called from behind.

Yifei immediately froze, even forgetting to turn around.

Until a familiar figure slowly walked into view.

"When did you get back?" Gu Zhiyao stopped in front of Yifei and continued to ask with a smile.

Looking at her beautiful and gentle smiling face, Yifei finally came to his senses and said, "Just a short while ago, you... went out?"

“Well, I went to the law firm today to discuss some things. We got a big case, so we need to hire at least a few more people. The shareholders suggested finding experienced people, but that’s not easy to find.” Gu Zhiyao said unconsciously, “So I’m planning to organize an alumni association, mainly inviting alumni who studied law to participate, and see if anyone is interested in doing it.”

Yifei looked at her radiant face, her eyes almost sparkling, and was genuinely happy for her. He had long known that she was a very capable person, and now she seemed to shine even brighter. He could also imagine that her life would be even more wonderful in the future.

Unfortunately, the person who was by her side, watching her shine, was not herself.

Gradually, Gu Zhiyao also noticed the sorrow in Yifei's eyes and asked, "Yifei, what's wrong?"

Yifei was speechless.

"You... did something happen? By the way, why did you come back this time..." Gu Zhiyao was even more puzzled, and made no attempt to hide her worry.

"I'm back for a meeting. I might be transferred to the next town next door as mayor next month, to Shenghua Town," Yifei quickly added.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Congratulations! I've heard of this town; it's a very economically developed area. The government seems to be planning to intensify its efforts to redevelop it. Yifei, you'll be able to fully utilize your talents there. With your abilities, you'll definitely make this town even more prosperous and famous!"

Yifei smiled modestly, but the deep sorrow in his eyes was still lingering. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I heard from Niu Niu that your uncle is planning to hold a wedding to formally marry you? By the way, don't blame Niu Niu, I let her say it unintentionally."

Gu Zhiyao was stunned.

She had been wondering whether or not to tell Yifei about this, and was thinking about how to tell him after a while, but unexpectedly Yifei found out anyway!

Gu Zhiyao suddenly remembered Yifei's strange behavior just now, and a deep sorrow appeared in her eyes.

So, Yifei was very upset about her marriage?

"I'm sorry, Yifei..." Gu Zhiyao said subconsciously.

"No, Zhiyao, why are you saying that? If you feel bad about not telling me in time, that's okay. You just made the decision, and Niu Niu said that apart from a few family members, no one else knows. It's only natural that you didn't tell me beforehand. This is a joyous occasion, and we should all be happy. Please don't apologize, okay?"

Listening to these gentle words and seeing Yi Fei's understanding smile, Gu Zhiyao couldn't feel happy at all; instead, she felt very heavy-hearted.

Yifei ignored her face and continued nonchalantly, "My uncle was extremely remorseful because of that wedding video, and later even made a video for it. Now, you can have a real one. I believe my uncle will definitely give you a grand, magnificent, romantic, and beautiful wedding, just like you've always dreamed of! The last few times I called my uncle, he always said he was busy. I guess he's busy with this. That's great."

Gu Zhiyao continued to look at Yifei, at a loss. He was clearly calm and smiling happily, but she vaguely sensed that beneath that smile lay endless bitterness and melancholy.

Yifei, did I misread it? Am I overthinking it? Are you really happy for me and wish me well? Hmm, I think so, right? You have to! Besides, you already have a girlfriend…

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath and said, "Grandma and I discussed that day and said she would try to hold the wedding on the weekend. You can come back then, right? And Siyu, why don't you bring her along? When you are transferred, will she transfer with you? Try to transfer together. It's never good to be separated, especially since you two are still in the honeymoon phase."

Yifei paused for a moment, then said, "She won't be transferred yet, but once I'm settled over there, I'll see how to transfer her over as well. Even if the wedding isn't on the weekend, I'll come back. This is your wedding, my uncle's wedding. You are both the most important people in my life, so of course I can't be absent. I can't wait to witness this wedding and give you my blessings in person. Zhiyao, you will definitely be very happy!"

Gu Zhiyao's throat tightened, and she tried her best to hold back her tears.

"As for Siyu, well, she should be coming too. She loves to join in the fun. I'm wondering if she'll take the opportunity to ask you to be her bridesmaid or part of the bridal party."

“Okay, I’d love to have her if she’s willing. I’ll talk to her about it later.” Gu Zhiyao replied quickly, her tone much more relaxed.

Yifei gave her a wry smile, and then everyone fell silent for a moment until the old lady came out.

"Yifei? You're back?"

"Yes, Grandma, I came back for a meeting and thought I hadn't seen everyone in a long time, especially Xiaobao, so I came over to visit."

"Then you can have dinner here tonight." The old lady said happily, glancing at Gu Zhiyao, "I'll tell you some good news then."

"Are my uncle and Zhiyao getting married?" Yifei asked.

The old lady was taken aback. "You knew? Ayao told you?"

“Niu Niu said it first.”

“Niu Niu? Hehe, this girl has always been close to you, no wonder she told you! I’ve picked a few dates, and tonight when your uncle comes back, we’ll all discuss and decide which one to choose. This is a major event in A Yi’s life, something he’s been longing for all these years. Grandma plans to make it a grand affair, and we’ll be inviting a lot of guests. If you weren’t working elsewhere, Grandma would have liked you to help with the preparations.”

"Grandma, Yifei is being transferred. He might be transferred to Shenghua Town as the town mayor," Gu Zhiyao said.

The old lady was overjoyed again. "Really? It's a great place. The city and province both value it highly. It's wonderful that you've been transferred there. It seems I really can't trouble you, but it's alright. It's not difficult for the Gu family to find someone to help us. Just focus on your work and come back on the wedding day."

"Yes, I will. But Grandma, even though I can't come back, you can tell me over the phone if there's anything I need you to do. With today's advanced communication technology, I can arrange everything. I can also ask some of my friends for help."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later." The old lady was genuinely happy; these happy events were making her very excited!

Next, the old lady chatted with Yifei, while Gu Zhiyao went back to her room to change her clothes, fed Xiaobao, and then carried him out.

Yifei turned his attention to Xiaobao and started playing with him.

He Yi returned in the evening.
