Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Thinking of Bai Chenyao’s dignified and aloof demeanor, and those deep black eyes of his, a complex expression flashed across Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.

"I estimate you’re the only one daring enough to speak about him like that!"

Tian Tian felt somewhat awkward, not expecting to end up discussing Bai Chenyao with her uncle.

Gu Qingfeng also smiled affectionately and sighed.

"Tian Tian, I used to worry about our Gu Family’s social status not matching with the Bai Family. In this society, everyone talks about how social matchmaking doesn’t matter anymore; it’s a new world without such rules!"

"But... look at those noble marriages, which one isn’t a union of prominent families or a blend of politics and business?"

"Back then, I wanted to advise you, but your grandma said Chenyao was good and wouldn’t let you down! So, I dropped the idea of advising you!"

"Your grandma was right, children have their own blessings. Even though I’m your elder, I shouldn’t meddle in your relationship. Besides, I believe in you; you’ve always been wonderful. I believe the husband you choose will be the best!"

Tian Tian: "..."

She never expected her uncle to say something like that. Tian Tian felt a bit emotional, her nose tingling and eyes starting to water.

"Alright!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled again, seeing the bright smile on his niece’s face, muttering as if to himself: "Even before you returned to the Mu Family, Chenyao only had you beside him. With his status, there was not even a hint of scandal, which made me very relieved! And now, you are the Second Miss of the Mu Family, filling the gap from before, making it a fitting match, which also puts me at ease!"

Tian Tian: "..."

Looking at the patients’ room door not far away, Tian Tian quickly lifted her head to hold back the moisture in her eyes. It took a while before she could suppress it, then she smiled warmly at Gu Qingfeng.

"Uncle, let’s go, standing too long won’t help your leg recover!"

A slightly distracted Gu Qingfeng nodded with a smile, leaning on a crutch, and with Tian Tian’s support, they walked step by step towards the hospital room.

——

The conversation in the hospital room was quite loud, and even the injured Gu Yunyun seemed much more lively.

"Does the fact that uncle is such a high-ranking official mean cousin Ziheng and cousin Xiuxiu are the so-called ’second-generation officials’?"

"Not at all, no matter how high your uncle’s position, he is still your and Tian Tian’s uncle, right? As for cousin Ziheng and cousin Xiuxiu, don’t think about being second-generation officials, they must, like your uncle, progress steadily one step at a time!"

Hearing this, Tian Tian reached out and pushed open the door.

The first thing she saw was a woman sitting by the bedside in a black fur coat, turned sideways to her. Even without seeing her completely, just the side profile suggested great beauty.

Upon hearing the door open, the woman turned her head, and Tian Tian saw an oval face with a warm and gentle smile.

Her makeup was exquisite, her expression kind, and her eyes were filled with a warm, tender smile. When she saw Tian Tian, her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly stood up.

"This must be Tian Tian!"

With a cordial and melodious voice, filled with undisguised joy, she quickly approached Tian Tian.

Tian Tian also smiled back, continuing to walk forward, and then felt a pair of hands tightly grasping her own, very warm.

"Even though we haven’t seen each other for many years, these eyes are as pretty as when you were a child; auntie recognizes them!"

Not expecting her vaguely remembered aunt to be so enthusiastic, loving, and gentle, Tian Tian felt somewhat unused to it.
