"Yes, Dad," Zhan Jinchuan said, "I submitted the marriage report, and Fengqian’s uncle approved it."
Senior Master Gu asked, "Does Senior Siao know about this?"
Zhan Jinchuan: "...He probably... doesn’t know?"
Senior Master Gu’s question stumped him.
Other than when they sharply argued about the divorce, he and Siao Fengqian had hardly any exchanges.
He also didn’t know whether Senior Master Siao was aware of his marriage registration with Siao Fengqian.
"You two, isn’t this just foolish?" Senior Master Gu placed his chopsticks on the stand, frowned at him, and said, "Marriage is such a big matter. It’s one thing for to not know, but how could you not take the ti to visit the bride’s family? How could you get married so carelessly?"
Zhan Jinchuan felt deeply ashad and was at a loss for words due to Senior Master Gu’s words.
Regardless of the reason, he should not have registered for marriage with Siao Fengqian without permission.
No matter what, he should have sought Senior Master Gu’s consent before getting married.
He took a few steps back, knelt down, lowered his head, and with a choked voice, said, "Dad, I was wrong... I acted impulsively and got registered with Fengqian without discussing it with you..."
"What are you doing?" Senior Master Gu stood up, walked over to him, helped him up with a bent back, and patted his shoulder, "Marriage is a good thing, and having children is an even greater joy. I understand, when it cos to matters of affection, you young people can be impulsive. It’s understandable if you registered in a mont of passion."
"Alright, don’t worry. I’m not angry with you. After we eat, I’ll give Senior Siao a call, explain things to him, and we’ll set up a ti for the two families to have a al together and finalize your marriage with Fengqian. Won’t that be wonderful?"
"Dad..."
Senior Master Gu’s understanding made Zhan Jinchuan feel even more guilty.
He had lived thirty-five years with clarity.
But whenever it involved Ruan Feifei, he would lose his composure.
He knew in his heart that Gu Junzhu’s suspicions were correct.
He couldn’t fully bla Siao Fengqian for registering their marriage.
Indeed, Siao Fengqian used the opportunity when he was drunk to seduce him.
But at the ti, he wasn’t so drunk that he was unaware.
He drank with Siao Fengqian on the day Ruan Feifei and Li Su held their wedding.
With Ruan Feifei married, he could never be with her.
He was very upset and got utterly drunk.
After he got drunk, Siao Fengqian seduced him.
And he... in his subconscious, he thought, since Ruan Feifei was already married and he couldn’t have her, who he married didn’t matter.
His dad was always worrying about his marriage, and ultimately he had to marry and have children.
In that case, why not marry Siao Fengqian?
Siao Fengqian’s grandfather was his dad’s friend, and if he married Siao Fengqian, their families would be even closer; his dad would certainly be happy.
Thinking this subconsciously, he muddled through registering the marriage with Siao Fengqian, and then ended up in bed together.
But once he sobered up, he regretted it.
He and Siao Fengqian got along as very good friends.
But his love was for Ruan Feifei.
His heart loved another woman, yet he was with Siao Fengqian, which was unfair to her.
So he proposed a divorce to Siao Fengqian.
When narrating the entire incident to Gu Junzhu, he was afraid Gu Junzhu would look down on him, and intentionally shifted the bla onto Siao Fengqian.
But he clearly knew in his heart that the biggest responsibility was his own.
