Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Ying happened to stand next to Shen Xingmian.

He smiled and toasted everyone at the table, then, as he left, he chuckled and whispered:

"Young Master Shen, do I now have the ability to fight against you?"

After saying that, he gave a soft laugh and left.

Shen Xingmian watched his departing figure. He was no longer that little boy who needed protection.

However, this child is becoming less and less lovable.

After exchanging pleasantries with the male guests, Gu Ying went to the female guests' area.

The group of women didn't say much when Gu Ying arrived, but they all offered their congratulations.

Gu Ying smiled and thanked her.

When Gu Ying arrived at Lian Chuchu's side, she was no different from everyone else.

However, Lian Chuchu stood up, a gentle smile on her lips, and a hint of excitement and admiration in her eyes.

Although she tried her best to hide it, Gu Ying still saw through it.

He frowned. Even though Chu Chu was Lin Feifan's girlfriend, he didn't pay much attention to her.

However, when Gu Ying was with Lin Feifan or when he talked about Lian Chuchu, she felt that Lian Chuchu should be a gentle, generous and kind person.

But now, when I look at myself, I always feel there's something strange about my gaze.

"Brother Gu Ying, I never expected you to become the head of the Gu family. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you."

Her face was full of happiness for him.

Gu Ying then smiled slightly, clinked glasses with her, and took a sip of red wine.

It seems I was being too sensitive and overthinking things.

Even after Gu Ying left, Lian Chuchu's gaze remained fixed on him. Upon closer inspection, Gu Ying was indeed becoming more and more outstanding and charming.

"Is Gu Ying really that handsome?"

"My God, young, handsome, and gentle, and most importantly, he must be the youngest head of the family."

"Chuchu, you actually know him? We've never had any contact with the Gu family before. We never imagined you were a friend of the family head."

The two girls turned their attention to Lian Chuchu, their faces filled with envy.

Even though Lian Chuchu was enjoying this feeling, she still smiled and said:

"He is a friend of Feifan, so we are quite familiar with each other, so we can be considered friends."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Ying's back and a feeling of pride slowly rose in his heart.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Weiwei, who was some distance away, was also watching Gu Ying's retreating figure, a blush creeping onto her face.

......

"Miss Nan, it's been a long time!"

Nan Zhi was somewhat surprised that Gu Ying would take the initiative to greet her. She looked up and smiled slightly at Gu Ying.

But he didn't say anything.

Gu Ying raised an eyebrow. How ruthless! But someone as interesting as her should indeed be approached slowly.

After toasting everyone at the table, Gu Ying whispered something in Nan Zhi's ear:

"Miss Nan, does Shen Xingmian truly love you? Perhaps he only sees you as a savior."

Nan Zhi's face stiffened, and she turned to ask a question, but Gu Ying narrowed her eyes, stood up straight, and then turned and left with a mocking smile on her lips.

"Zhizhi, what did he just say to you?"

Qin Xi'er nudged Nan Zhi's arm, and Nan Zhi smiled at her:

"Nothing, just asking how their food was."

After that, Nanzhi didn't touch her chopsticks anymore.

Gu Ying's words bothered her.

The first point of doubt is: do Gu Ying and Shen Xingmian know each other? And are they even quite close?

The second point of contention is: what does "redemption" mean? Why is it Shen Xingmian's redemption?

The third point of doubt: What happened to Shen Xingmian? Does she need redemption?

That's all Nanzhi could think of for now, based on just this one sentence.

Nan Zhi could easily tell that Shen Xingmian liked her very much.

Nan Zhi thought about it for a long time and decided not to ask Shen Xingmian.

If he really has some painful past, wouldn't asking him be like reopening old wounds?

She couldn't do something so immoral, even if the other person was her lover.

After the Gu family banquet ended, Shen Xingmian sent Nanzhi back home.

The driver was called over to drive. Shen Xingmian had drunk some alcohol, and her breath smelled slightly of it.

Nanzhi sat with him and noticed that he seemed to be feeling unwell.

She reached out and touched his forehead. "Are you in a lot of pain?"

Shen Xingmian reached out and pulled Nan Zhi's small hand down, holding it in hers. Turning her head, her eyelids slightly red, she said calmly, "It's nothing."

After saying that, he leaned back, reclined on the backrest, and closed his eyes.

Nanzhi stared at him for a long while, her eyes showing a slightly complicated expression.

After a long while, Nanzhi sighed softly.

She shouldn't overthink things based on other people's words.

Nan Zhi was willing to believe Shen Xingmian.

"Miss, you are such a perfect fiancée, I should give you a perfect score."

Meow Meow Machine sighed in disbelief, and Nan Zhi couldn't help but curl her lips into a smug smile as she interacted with Meow Meow Machine:

"You have a good eye, indeed, you are a promising young man."

MeowMeowMachine: "......"

They really do blossom at the slightest bit of sunshine.

......

Recently, Nanzhi noticed that Nanli has become significantly more active in the entertainment industry.

I also took the time to watch quite a few of the dramas that Nam Li has acted in, and I found that he has really improved a lot.

Nanzhi naturally paid close attention to her younger brother, and even went to check out his Weibo account, where he had gained quite a few followers.

The evaluation of Nanli in the book is extremely high. The more Nanzhi reads, the more a sense of pride arises in her heart.

Nanzhi was curled up on the sofa, scrolling through the comments and reading them aloud:
