If Gavin Gao were secretly scheming behind the scenes, then Miles Gu would have no problem putting him in his place.
But Gavin Gao is doing everything out in the open. First, he asked Miles Gu if he really wanted to break off the engagement—he won't be a third wheel, but he doesn't mind being the successor.
As long as Miles Gu breaks off the engagement with Yina Yin, then Miles will have nothing to do with the Yin family or Yina anymore.
Isn't it perfectly normal for Yina Yin to have suitors?
Gavin Gao lays his intentions out on the table—it's an open and honest strategy, so Miles Gu is left speechless.
When Miles Gu saw that Yina Yin didn't dislike Gavin Gao and didn't reject his pursuit, his heart suddenly felt sour.
Did Yina Yin not refuse because she actually likes Gavin Gao deep down?
Well, Gavin Gao's looks are top-tier even in the entertainment industry. Although his family background is a bit lacking, he said himself that he'll work hard to be worthy of the Yin family's eldest daughter.
He doesn't deny his shortcomings, and he's genuinely working hard.
What right does Miles Gu have to say no?
Ethan Yin smiled and said, "Gavin, don't underestimate yourself. Your father's Ding Realty is one of the top five pillar industries in our city."
"No, no, no. My dad's company is mostly in other cities—N City, S City. Here, it's still the Yin family's turf." Gavin Gao was very self-aware and clear-headed. "My dad's company is his, but I can earn my own money too. Ethan, please allow me to pursue Yina!"
"You just said it yourself: 'A gentleman admires a fair lady.' Everyone has the right to pursue love." Ethan Yin's smile deepened. "I'm both Yina's brother and your senior, so I'll be fair to both of you."
Cherry Miller chimed in, "Hey, everyone has the freedom to pursue love. Even as a brother, you can't stop love from happening."
Hearing Ethan Yin and Cherry Miller talk like that made Miles Gu feel even more uncomfortable.
He hasn't even broken off the engagement with Yina yet!
And they're already in a hurry to find Yina a new match?
Miles Gu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words stopped at his lips.
What right does he have to stop them?
Cherry Miller spoke up again, "Gavin, when does your role wrap up?"
"Today's the last day. We'll wrap up filming tomorrow," Gavin Gao replied.
"Great! We're all staying at Sunset Manor, it's not far from here. Drop by if you have time—Zeke, Jenny Kerr, Leo and Theo Mo, they're all here. I think they're two years below you?" Cherry Miller asked with a smile.
"Yeah, they're two years younger. We played basketball together." Gavin Gao nodded. "Wow, they're all here! Haven't seen them since graduation. Once I'm done filming, I'll come hang out. Sister Cherry, don't get annoyed with me!"
Even though Cherry Miller is in the same year as Yina Yin, she's older than Gavin Gao, so Gavin still calls her Sister Cherry or Assistant Miller.
"Why would I?" Cherry Miller laughed heartily. "We're all classmates—you're more than welcome! In a few days, Miles Gu and Yina will break off their engagement. You can be a witness too."
"Sure, I'll definitely come!" Gavin Gao wasn't clueless—he instantly understood what Cherry Miller meant.
Looks like the Yin family doesn't mind him pursuing Yina Yin.
A ten-year wish is about to come true—Gavin Gao was over the moon!
It's not like he's forcing Miles Gu to break off the engagement!
His pursuit is honest and aboveboard!
"Sorry, I have something to do. I'll head back now." Miles Gu finally couldn't sit still, stood up, and left.
Ethan Yin didn't stop Miles Gu; he just let him leave.
Feeling miserable now?
This is just the beginning.
Did you really think my sister would let you bully her?
"Quentin," Ethan Yin turned to his assistant, "Give Gavin Gao the location of Sunset Manor."
"Of course." Quentin Sheng smiled. "Mr. Gao, you're always welcome at Sunset Manor."
"Thank you, Ethan." Gavin Gao said seriously.
Ethan Yin stood up and reached out to Cherry Miller. "Cherry, the scenery here is nice. Walk with me?"
"Sure." Cherry Miller smiled and placed her hand in Ethan Yin's palm. The two of them strolled along the boardwalk together.
Now, under the sunshade, only Yina Yin and Gavin Gao were left.
Yina Yin looked a little awkward and said, "Senior Gavin, you really don't have to..."
Gavin Gao smiled, "Are you trying to say I don't have to be a silly shield? I know you and Senior Miles have been together for years, it's not easy to let go. If I step up now, I might just be a shield, a target, get a lot of hate, and even make Senior Miles dislike me."
"Since you understand, why bother?" Yina Yin frowned slightly.
"Because you're worth it," Gavin Gao said seriously. "Yina, I've liked you for ten years. I'm straightforward. I won't be a third wheel, but as soon as you're single, I'll pursue you. As long as you don't mind my family's small business or my lower status, I won't fear any trouble. I respect Senior Miles, but I don't agree with all his choices. If he gives up, I'm grabbing my chance."
Yina Yin wasn't one to be coy. Hearing Gavin Gao say that, she chuckled and said, "Alright, since you've thought it through, I won't say anything more. You're welcome at Sunset Manor."
"Then, before you welcome me, can you give me a chance to go shopping with you?" Gavin Gao winked playfully at Yina Yin.
Gavin Gao had a sunny, handsome look.
His features were refined, his bone structure was great, and his looks were striking.
He might not be as stunning as Miles Gu, but he was definitely impressive.
If the full score was one hundred, Miles Gu and Ethan Yin could score ninety-nine, and Gavin Gao could get eighty.
In the entertainment industry, he's the kind who can easily dominate looks rankings.

"Aren't you filming?" Yina Yin asked him.
"Hey, is filming more important than you?" Gavin Gao said casually. "I'm just in showbiz for fun—it's not like I'm actually trying to win Best Actor for my dad. Of course, if I really did win, my dad would be happy. Come on, I'll go ask Director Zhou for leave."
"Alright." Yina Yin laughed.
After Miles Gu left on his own, the more he walked, the angrier he got.
Yina Yin is still his fiancée, and already so many people are after her?
That little singer doesn't count. Even if he keeps crushing, it's pointless. The Yin family isn't going to let their heiress marry a commoner.
But Gavin Gao isn't a commoner—he's also a student from Saint Diana Academy, just like Miles Gu.
