Su Xinyi still wondered why they needed her documents, but the car had already stopped by the time she spoke. Looking up, she realized they were at the civil affairs bureau and understood Gu Jingshen's intentions.
Gu Jingshen took her hand as they got out of the car, saying gently, "The most important thing now is to revoke our divorce application and then visit my parents. This will make everything more logical."
Su Xinyi didn't expect that Gu Jingshen still remembered their divorce. Today was about revoking it.
Seeing Su Xinyi say nothing, Gu Jingshen presumed she agreed and led her into the civil affairs hall with a composed demeanor.
After revoking the divorce application, they walked out feeling relieved.
Gu Jingshen's mood was very pleasant; the joy of losing something and regaining it was still wonderful.
With many people waiting in line, it was already close to noon when they came out.
Gu Jingshen suggested, "Xinyi, let's celebrate by going out for a meal."
Su Xinyi asked curiously, "Didn't you say we have to go see your parents today? Is there still enough time?"
Gu Jingshen said with a casual tone, "I set the meeting with my parents for dinner. Why are you eager to meet them early?"
This made Su Xinyi feel embarrassed; she pouted, saying, "You're saying something, but I just don't want our first meeting to be late."
Gu Jingshen hugged her shoulders and said calmly, "Don’t worry, I told my parents this morning that I wanted to bring you home. They are very happy, but they think the time is tight. If it’s too simple, they might feel like they’re not treating you well enough. So, they need some preparation, which is why we can only go for dinner."
Su Xinyi understood and realized Gu Jingshen's parents were preparing well for her arrival. She couldn’t express how moved she was to find that even Gu Dad and Gu Mom cared so much.
Su Xinyi said emotionally, "It doesn't have to be a big deal; just simple home-cooked food will do."
But Gu Jingshen insisted seriously, "No, you're visiting our home for the first time. Our entire family cares deeply about this. From now on, you’ll be part of our family. A grand welcome ceremony is necessary to show how much we value you."
Su Xinyi didn't expect that Gu Jingshen considered her visit a celebration for his parents; she said gratefully but nervously, "Do all wealthy families act like this? I feel a bit pressured now."
Seeing Su Xinyi’s surprise, Gu Jingshen reassured her, "Don’t worry. It will be easier once you get used to it. Our family is very friendly, so there's no need for pressure."
Su Xinyi heard this and realized she couldn't retreat anymore; since the situation was set, she had to accept reality.
She said softly, "Okay, your way then."
Seeing Su Xinyi agree not to resist going home, Gu Jingshen smiled. He drove straight to Cloud Heaven Restaurant.
