Chapter 864: Unwavering Until Death
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
Gu Pei felt a chill and glared fiercely at Feng Jue. âI donât agree to this relationship!â
He couldnât fathom why Feng Jue would claim to be his sisterâs 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. âGu Yang and I are truly in love.â
Upon hearing Gu Peiâs objection, Gu Yang stifled a small laugh and stepped in front of Feng Jue, speaking gently. âLittle brother, we havenât discussed marriage yet. Right now, weâre just announcing our relationship.â
Gu Pei snorted dismissively and kept his gaze fixed firmly on Feng Jue.
If it werenât for Gu Yang blocking his path, he might have confronted Feng Jue directly.
Ruan Xuelingâs 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 careâa stark contrast to Gu Yangâs previous fiancĂ© 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 Jueâs audacity in âkidnappingâ 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, âYangyang, Xiao Jue, is this serious? I know you two are close, but are you absolutely certain itâs love and not just familial affection?â
Gu Zhaoming, too, regarded them silently, his expression inscrutable and imposing in its silence.
âItâs love.â
Gu Yang was very sure of this.
A smile graced Feng Jueâs fair and handsome face. His eyes held a clarity as he addressed Ruan Xueling with utmost seriousness, âMother, I love Sister deeply. Itâs 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.â
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 Yangâs protective stance towards him, she felt both resigned and indulgent. âItâs reassuring to know that your feelings are genuine. If Yangyang and you are in love, we wonât stand in your way.â
Turning her attention directly to Feng Jue, Ruan Xuelingâs demeanor shifted, imbued with the sharpness of a successful career woman.
âFeng Jue, if you ever hurt Yangyang and mistreat her, donât expect any sympathy from me.â
Feng Jue promised earnestly, âMom, you have my word. I will never let my sister suffer.â
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 daughterâs eternal happiness.
Gu Yang appreciated her motherâs concern and smiled warmly at her. âThank you, Mom.â
Seeing Gu Yangâs understanding, Ruan Xueling felt reassured.
With his motherâs acceptance secured, Feng Jue breathed a sigh of relief. However, when Gu Yang glanced at Gu Zhaoming, she couldnât help feeling concerned for her boyfriend.
Her fatherâs hostility towards Feng Jue was as daunting as her younger brotherâs.
If Gu Pei remained unconvinced, Feng Jue could handle him physically.
But her father was a seasoned old fox in the business world.
