Chapter 1117 Star Wish: Full Moon
That intimate gesture was like a warm electric current that instantly spread throughout Gu Yunqian's body. He froze slightly, and then his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, as if he wanted to swallow down the tension and excitement in his heart.
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Gu Yunqian's heart finally settled down, as if a huge rock that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had quietly fallen to the ground.
However, before he could immerse himself in this moment of peace of mind, Su Xingya broke the silence first. She spoke softly, and the first words she uttered were: "I'm sorry..."
Those three words, with a little imperceptible sob, were like broken notes, gently striking Gu Yunqian's heartstrings, making him a little overwhelmed for a moment, his heart full of heartache surging like a tide.
Su Xingya raised her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes, and she began to unravel the thoughts that had been surging in her heart over the past few days, like peeling off silk threads from an onion.
Why did she want to divorce in the first place? It was because of her inner desire for freedom and pursuit of self-worth. In her marriage life day after day, she felt as if she was lost in a prosperous but empty maze and could not find the exit.
Later, why did she quietly change her mind? It was because of Gu Yunqian's meticulous care during her pregnancy. His company was like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating her dark and difficult days.
And the arrival of the child, that loud cry, was like a magical spell, awakening the long-sleeping maternal love in her heart, and allowing her to see another possibility for her future life.
Her voice was soft but firm. Although she knew that revealing her true feelings like this might sound absurd to others, this was indeed her truest expression of emotion.
Gu Yunqian stood quietly by the side, as if he was under a spell, motionless, just listening attentively. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
As Su Xingya continued to speak, Gu Yunqian felt something in his heart suddenly collapse, as if a solid line of defense had been ruthlessly broken.
Thinking back to how he had tried to use the child as a rope to bind her in order to keep her, such a selfish and despicable act now seemed so ugly in the face of her true love.
At that moment, he felt as if he was in a dark quagmire, with self-blame and guilt entangled in his heart like vines, and he felt that his soul had become extremely dirty...
A month later, the Gu family's old house seemed to be cast with a gorgeous magic, with lights and decorations everywhere, and an atmosphere of joy.
The big red lanterns hung high up, like ripe red persimmons, emitting warm and festive light;
The colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind are like lively fairy ribbons, adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness to this solemn old house.
Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue were dressed in their best clothes, their faces filled with smiles of happiness that seemed about to overflow. They stood at the door of the old house, with upright postures and elegant manners, warmly welcoming the guests.
Their every look and every movement revealed their love and cherishment for their eldest grandson, as if announcing to the world the endless joy brought by the arrival of a new life in the family.
Today's banquet is to celebrate the full moon of their eldest grandson, which is of great significance.
Even the two daughters of the Gu family, Gu Yunfei and Gu Yunshu, who had not appeared in public for a long time, put aside their many affairs and devoted themselves to this event, helping their brother and sister-in-law run around.
Sisters Gu Yunfei and Gu Yunshu stood in a cloakroom full of gorgeous clothes, carefully selecting clothes with a look of prudence and consideration in their eyes. They were in perfect harmony, and had the same idea in their hearts: they must not steal the limelight from their eldest sister-in-law.
Gu Yunfei's fingers gently slid across the exquisite dresses, and finally chose a simple yet elegant lotus pink dress. The soft color was like the first blooming lotus in spring, gentle and moving, which not only showed her youthful vitality but also was not too ostentatious.
Gu Yunshu picked up a slim-fitting off-white long skirt with a faint pattern embroidered with silver silk thread on the hem, which looked like the twinkling stars in the night sky. It was low-key and luxurious, making her look even more graceful.
And what about Su Xingya?
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, being carefully dressed by a professional makeup artist.
She was wearing a custom-made champagne gold cheongsam with exquisite peony patterns embroidered with gold thread. The peonies looked lifelike, as if they would bloom with rich fragrance at any time, showing her elegance and luxury.
Her makeup is delicate and elegant, and her eyes reveal a maternal tenderness and perseverance. Her long, shiny black hair is tied into an elegant bun, dotted with a few sparkling pearls, adding a touch of classical charm.
Everyone says that loving someone is like growing flowers. From Su Xingya's appearance at this moment, it can be clearly seen that in this wealthy marriage, she is being carefully watered and cared for.
The confidence and composure in every gesture are the best testimony of this love.
As time passed, guests arrived one after another, and the old house became more and more lively. Laughter and joy echoed in every corner. A grand and warm full moon banquet was about to begin...
At the lively full-moon banquet at the Gu family’s old house, the lights were bright and the laughter and joy intertwined into a cheerful melody.
In the corner, a gaze was like a cold arrow, and it locked onto Su Xingya unknowingly.
The man was hidden in the intersection of light and shadow. He had an upright figure and a dark suit that made him look cool and stern.
He was originally holding a clear crystal wine glass elegantly in his hand, with long and strong fingers. At this moment, his hand suddenly tightened subconsciously, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, as if a fierce struggle was going on in his heart.
He had been standing there silently for a long time, like a hunter hiding in the dark, quietly observing every move at the banquet.
His eyes followed Su Xingya all the time, watching her chatting with the guests with a smile, watching her gently teasing the child in her arms. A complex and indistinguishable light flashed in his eyes, with attachment, reluctance, and a hint of unspeakable loneliness, but he never had the intention of stepping forward to say hello.
After a while, he seemed to finally come back to his senses from a long meditation. He put the wine glass heavily on the table with a dull "bang" sound, breaking the small silence around him.
Then, he left like a determined lone goose without looking back!
The departing figure revealed a sense of desolation and loneliness, which made people feel confused.
Today's full moon banquet is indeed a bit subtle.
Speaking of being low-key, the guests who come here are all well-known figures with extraordinary status. Elites from all walks of life and business leaders gather here, and each of their names is well-known in the industry.
The Gu family held this banquet with all the necessary ceremony and pomp, fully displaying the style of an aristocratic family;
But if it is said to be held in a high profile, a closer look reveals that most of the people who come are families that have known the Gu family for many years and have a deep friendship with them, such as the Bai family, the Song family and other prominent families. The interactions between them are like the tangled root system of an ancient tree, close and complex.
Although Gu Yunqian had previously posted photos of his wife and children on social media to share his joy, he was very cautious and had never officially announced his son's appearance.
After all, in this complex world of fame and fortune, privacy protection is of vital importance, especially for children in their infancy. This is undoubtedly a comprehensive protection to prevent them from being exposed to the public eye too early and falling into unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, with the man's quiet departure, the banquet was still a scene of peace and joy. The guests were immersed in joy and did not notice this small undercurrent.
Su Xingya held her child in her arms, and together with her family, she smiled and greeted every well-wisher, completely unaware of what had just happened in that corner...
