When Gu Yinian heard this, he immediately snapped back to reality. In truth, Gu Yinian had never been optimistic about Li Yu and Cai Yiran’s relationship from the beginning because Cai Yiran was known to be a manipulative person.
Still, Gu Yinian voiced his concerns. “Alright, even if things with Cai Yiran are impossible, you shouldn’t just be so casual about it.”
Jiang Ling’er was only 18 years old, and Li Yu had quite an age gap with her. There was undeniably a generational difference between the two of them.
“Why Jiang Ling’er?” Li Yu asked. “I’m very serious about this.”
Li Yu couldn’t understand why Gu Yinian thought he and Jiang Ling’er were incompatible, especially since Wen Nuan and the others had insisted that they were a perfect match.
Gu Yinian frowned. “Think about it. Even though she’s broken off her engagement with Li Yan, your father won’t approve of your decision to be with her, right?”

In any case, Li Yu was confident he could handle his father’s objections.
Gu Yinian expressed her confusion. “Even so, I don’t know what to say. Why do you have to choose Jiang Ling’er?”
“Because Jiang Ling’er is exceptional,” Li Yu replied with a smile.
The conviction he felt when choosing Jiang Ling’er was truly remarkable.
Gu Yinian fell silent for a moment before saying, “Now, the relationship between the Jiang family and your family won’t be the same as before. Even if it’s good, it’ll be superficial.”
“Ling’er and Li Yan do have some conflicts,” Li Yu admitted with a smile. “But this shouldn’t affect the relationship between the Jiang and Li families. Besides, our families can only grow closer in the future; it definitely can’t get any worse than now.”
Gu Yinian was speechless.
Gu Yinian wanted to say something, but the words escaped him. After a lengthy silence, Gu Yinian said, “Back when you pursued Cai Yiran, you also claimed she was perfect. Yet, you ended up brokenhearted”
Li Yu smiled faintly and said, “The feeling is entirely different. When I was pursuing Cai Yiran, 1 didn’t have that deep sense of being moved, nor did 1 fear her rejection. But with Jiang Ling’er, it’s different. When Jiang Ling’er turned me down, I felt anxious, afraid of losing her.”
Li Yu paused, contemplating Jiang Ling’er for a moment, before continuing, “As long as a good guy stays by Jiang Ling’er’s side, I’ll feel uneasy. But with Cai Yiran, 1 never felt uneasy. You know how many guys were around Cai Yiran, yet 1 was never concerned.”
Gu Yinian responded in disbelief, “Alright, Li Yan probably regrets ever meeting Jiang Ling’er. You’re something else. If you want to marry her, aren’t you worried things will get awkward in the future?”
Li Yu responded confidently, “Why would it be awkward?”
Even if it did get awkward, it would be Li Yan’s loss for letting the remarkable Jiang Ling’er slip away and choosing someone like Bai Xue instead.
Gu Yinian didn’t know what else to say and could only respond, “Well, I just hope, Li Yu, that you’ll let things unfold naturally. Don’t end up with regrets.”
Li Yu replied with unwavering certainty, “1 don’t have any regrets. 1 trust my own judgment. I can’t be wrong about someone I hold in high regard.”
“Is that so?” Gu Yinian inquired. “And what about Cai Yiran? Wasn’t she someone you held in high regard?”
“I’ve already told you, 1 don’t have those feelings for her anymore,” Li Yu stated calmly.

At that time, Li Yu had gone to great lengths to chase after Cai Yiran.
Li Yu furrowed his brow and responded irritably, “Because 1 had nothing better to do. Besides, having a girlfriend was trendy at the time, wasn’t it? I was impulsive, but did you ever see me get physically intimate with her?”
Gu Yinian was left speechless.
What else could be said? Li Yu had indeed followed the trend, but then again, Li Yu had never made any physical advances toward Cai Yiran, not even holding her hand.
“What’s your plan now?” Gu Yinian inquired.
Li Yu grinned and replied, “I intend to pay a visit to the film studio to find Jiang
Ling’er later and make my presence known.”
“Why are we going to the film studio?” Gu Yinian asked. “What’s Jiang Ling’er doing there?”
“Ling’er studies acting and frequently goes there to practice her skills,” Li Yu explained.
Gu Yinian had a revelation. She said, “Take me with you. I’ve heard there are lots of beautiful women there. I want to see what’s so special about Jiang Ling’er that has captured your heart.”
Li Yu contemplated turning down the request, but Gu Yinian was quite persistent.
Around five in the afternoon, the two of them arrived at the film studio..
