Epilogue 2 – Returning the Happiness I Owe You

The morning light filtered through the white tulle canopy and landed on the grass.

Like all other ordinary wedding scenes, there were all sorts of guests who did not know one another but who were all amiably appraising each other. Resplendent dress and elaborate adornments. Good wine and delectable delicacies. Everyone was conversing in low voices, all discussing the same topic.

Such a soon-to-be newlywed couple, yet none of the people close to them knew anything about their courtship.

"I honestly do not know." That well-known DJ, who, only a few days ago, had been late for work because of the UEFA Euro, was truly being interrogated so much by all the people around him that he did not even know what to do. "Just think. At night, she does the late-night show, and in the morning, she does traffic reporting. Then during the daytime, there's the selection meeting for show topics. She doesn't take time off during the year, even during holidays and festivals. There's never been any vehicles picking her up or dropping her off. She never has any personal phone calls. How could she possibly have a boyfriend?"

"One week. Just one, single week, from when we got our invitations to today's wedding. She sure is able to keep a secret." The girl who was Tong Yan's partner on the nighttime program was also sighing. "Her hubby is one of the partners in the largest foreign-based law firm here, and his annual salary is so high it's not even countable."

And the most important point was, he truly was good-looking — the type of good-looking that made women envious.

"Tong Yan is everyone's idol, the idol of the public. There are so many letters for her in the office every day you can't even read through them all." Only the director was acting rather mysterious, as if he seemed to know everything. "I heard that that person is a longtime listener of our station. Maybe he really is one of Little Ke's faithful fans. So now you all know what the advantages of being a DJ are, right? You have a good reputation but you're also still a public figure. So suitable for marrying a good man."

The director's spoke his words as if they were well-reasoned and persuasive.

Amongst Tong Yan's colleagues, there was no lack of unmarried young women, and they were all aiming their gazes at the several men on the other end of the long table, those men who were the best of the best amongst Chinese lawyers. This sudden perfect marriage, this lovely and romantic encounter that made people jealous — if Tong Yan could come by one, then people could certainly believe in some things.

However, they did not know that these right-hand men of Gu Pingsheng's were also feeling as if they had fallen into the misty clouds.

Originally, this had been a last-minute business trip and they were only passing through this city of Beijing, but suddenly, it had become a request for transfer back to China. The most important piece was, the reason for the transfer request was very simple and direct: to return to China to get married and then permanently reside there.

From the head office to the China office, no one knew that he had a girlfriend. With Little Boss's curriculum vitae and looks, in the head office, he had broken the curse that ethnic Chinese men would not be popular with the ladies and had attracted all sorts of eager, ardent women swarming him like overenthusiastic bees and butterflies. And in the China office, the name "Gu Pingsheng" itself was like a legend.

Every time there was a video conference, there were numerous female lawyers who, because they needed to give a one-minute report to him, would prepare in detail beforehand so that they could sufficiently respond to his questioning that would cover every possible angle.
