"Today is your big day. If she suddenly goes crazy, things could get messy."

Gu Qian thought for a moment and recalled Tang Jing's madness when she went crazy, howling and screaming like a mad dog... It was indeed inappropriate to call her here in this situation.

Outside, Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan found a place to sit down. In order to watch the show well, they chose an inconspicuous spot, leaving the spotlight to the main characters.

An Xinrong also attended Xia Wan's wedding. When she saw Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan come in together, she was first stunned, then delighted, and then disappointed. There was some noise around, with people whispering about Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan, some of which were quite unpleasant. If she went over there now, she would definitely be caught up in the gossip. But An Xinrong couldn't care less, because she hadn't seen Zhuang Yan for a long time. Every time she wanted to ask him out, she couldn't find an excuse, and she didn't know what to say when she called or texted him.

An Xinrong lifted her skirt and walked toward Zhuang Yan, drawing all eyes to her.

"Xinrong, where are you going?"

"Going to see Zhuang Yan? Could they be having an affair?"

"Are you crazy? Going to Zhuang Yan at this time without being ashamed? Doesn't her family care about her?"

An Xinrong wasn't unaware of what was happening, but she couldn't care less now. She ran up to Zhuang Yan and asked, "Zhuang Yan, what brings you here? Did Xia Wan send you an invitation?"

"Not sent."

"If he didn't send an invitation, how did he get in?" Lu Yan, who was standing to the side, said, "He was my date."

An Xinrong frowned: "Aren't you being ridiculous? How could you bring him to a place like this?"

"What's so special about this place? There's food, drinks, and entertainment. Look, even the director is here." Lu Yan raised her glass and waved to the director in the distance.

Lu Yan stood up and gently patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder: "I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me here and don't wander off."

Zhuang Yan nodded.

As soon as Lu Yan left, An Xinrong muttered, "She's treating you like a child, isn't she? She even told you not to wander around... I saw something online about you and Lu Yan, saying you're living together. Is that true?"

"We didn't live together." It's just that our two houses are close by, and we eat together, play together, and take walks together every day... Of course, there's no need to tell An Xinrong about these things.

An Xinrong breathed a sigh of relief: I knew it... how could Zhuang Yan possibly live with Lu Yan?

"Why did you come here today?" She didn't believe Zhuang Yan came here just for a meal. Recently, there had been a lot of noise about Zhuang Yan online, and many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

The moment Zhuang Yan appeared, people stared at him like he was a monkey, and who knows what they would say about him behind his back... If it were her, she couldn't bear such humiliation.

An Xinrong saw Zhuang Yan looking at the standee in the distance, which was Xia Wan and Gu Qian's wedding photo. Her heart tightened suddenly, and she asked in a stiff voice, "You're not still hung up on Xia Wan, are you?"

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Wan and Zhuang Yan had been dating for three years and were even at the point of discussing marriage. Zhuang Yan loved Xia Wan so hard back then, he was so humble and perfect in every way, but unfortunately, true love cannot be reciprocated.

Although Zhuang Yan was the one who called off the wedding, how could he so easily let go of so many years of feelings? He was probably heartbroken watching Xia Wan get married.

An Xinrong's eyes were red as she thought of the words: "I dressed up just to attend your wedding."

Zhuang Yan is dressed to the nines today, looking handsome from head to toe.

An Xinrong felt a sharp pang of heartache, as if a knife was stabbing her heart. Zhuang Yan was so pitiful. Three years passed by without a trace, unloved by his parents, and the person he liked didn't like him back. They all liked Gu Qian.

How painful it must have been for Zhuang Yan to watch Gu Qian take everything away from him.

Zhuang Yan looked at her with the same eyes he would give a fool.

An Xinrong was completely unaware and said dryly, "Zhuang Yan, Xia Wan is not worth your affection. If you can't hold onto the sand, just let it go. Forget about each one as it comes, there will always be another. It's her loss that she doesn't like you. You will definitely find someone better."

What the hell? Zhuang Yan couldn't help but laugh: "What nonsense are you thinking about all day long? I haven't liked Xia Wan for a long time. I'm just here today to keep Lu Yan company and watch the show."

"Then what were you looking at when you were staring at Xia Wan's wedding photo just now?"

"When did I see her wedding photos?"

An Xinrong pointed.

Zhuang Yan realized what was happening: "I was looking at the champagne and cake next to me."

Could she have misunderstood? An Xinrong quickly changed the subject, "Do you want some cake? I'll go get it." She remembered that Zhuang Yan had low blood sugar, and since he usually got up so early to eat, he was probably already hungry.

Zhuang Yan: "I'll get it myself."

"I'll go, you just sit here and don't wander off." With that, An Xinrong stood up, lifted her skirt, asked the waiter for a tray, and used small plates to fill all the cakes that looked delicious.

Zhuang Yan looked at the mountain of desserts: "Why did you take so many?"

"I didn't know which ones were good, so I just took a little of everything. You should eat."

Zhuang Yan couldn't eat much at all. Desserts are delicious, but eating too much is bad for your health.

Zhuang Yan ate the pastry in his hand while listening to the conversations of the people around him.

"Have housing prices risen too fast recently? A piece of land that was only a few thousand square meters not long ago is now worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter, and it's still rising. In the new district, it's close to 40,000 yuan per square meter. People who bought houses a month ago made a fortune."

"Have you heard about the new investment guru who has emerged recently? He's very mysterious, all we know is that his surname is Yan. You can see him everywhere. He just appeared last month, and his net worth is probably already over a billion."

“I think it’s more than that… Anyone with this ability couldn’t be a newcomer. He’s probably some big shot in disguise. My husband told me that this Mr. Yan is related to the Yi’an Group.”

"How so?"

"Both sides are very mysterious, and if you break down the pinyin of 'Yan' into 'y-an,' isn't it just 'Yi An'?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Lately, people have been asking about him everywhere. With so many people here today, do you think Mr. Yan might be among them?"

Zhuang Yan stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up.

"Is it good?" An Xinrong asked him.

Zhuang Yan sighed: "It's delicious, but my stomach isn't good enough to eat this much."

An Xinrong felt increasingly sorry for Zhuang Yan; not only was his love life going poorly, but his health was also so bad.

An Xinrong's mind raced: "Do you usually like watching mukbang videos? I like watching other people eat things I can't eat myself, it makes me feel like I'm eating them too."

"I watch it sometimes."

An Xinrong happily pointed to the cakes on the tray: "Which of these cakes would you like to eat?"

Zhuang Yan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a variety of small desserts on the tray. Zhuang Yan chose a chocolate one and said, "This one will do."

An Xinrong picked it up and took a big bite. After tasting it carefully, she showed a satisfied expression: "The chocolate flavor is very strong, the cake is fluffy, and there is some jam inside. It's really delicious."

Female celebrities rarely eat sweets in order to maintain their image, but today, just to satisfy Zhuang Yan's cravings, An Xinrong ate eight pieces of cake in one go, leaving her mouth sweet and sticky.
