Chapter 85 Married

Jiangcheng.

A black Rolls-Royce was driving on the highway leading to the airport.

Gu Jingcheng leaned back in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest. A brocade box sat beside him.

Inside were gifts prepared by Gu Huojun, the father, for Old Master Qin's birthday banquet.

A priceless antique, a jade unicorn.

The phone flashed briefly in the dark carriage.

Gu Jingcheng opened his eyes and tapped WeChat.

Below Mrs. Gu's portrait is a red dot.

Unread messages.

"There are still some things to finish in Ancheng, so I may not be able to go back until tomorrow."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Jingcheng's lips.

This was the first time Lin Wei had taken the initiative to contact him.

"Okay, I'm also on my way to Ancheng to take care of some things."

A thought flashed through Gu Jingcheng's mind: should he bring Lin Wei along to Old Master Qin's birthday banquet?

He only thought about it for a few seconds before dismissing the idea; he was now "married."

Taking her there would only cause her trouble.

Gu Jingcheng typed a message on WeChat and sent it.

"I have a business dinner tonight. I'll come find you after I'm done. Send me the hotel name and room number."

Lin Wei's cheeks flushed involuntarily as she looked at the WeChat message from Gu Jingcheng.

Does this mean he wants to live with me?

The man's muscular chest and the V-line with water droplets suddenly appeared in Lin Wei's mind.

Her ears were burning hot.

After some hesitation, I entered the name of my hotel and room number into the dialog box.

Quickly lock the screen and place the phone face down on the table.

My heart is pounding.

At the same time, the bamboo curtain in the private room was lifted.

Lin Wei composed herself and looked up at the doorway.

A tall man walked in.

Shao Chengyu was wearing a light-colored shirt and casual trousers.

She looked refreshed and neat.

"Sorry, the parking lot was in a circle. Did you wait long?"

Lin Wei's tone was polite and courteous.

"No, I just arrived too."

Lin Wei picked up her teacup and took another sip, trying to find a topic to talk about.

"The environment here is quite nice."

Shao Chengyu smiled and looked at her gently.

"Whatever you like, this is a private chef restaurant in Ancheng."

The food tastes pretty good. Are you hungry? Let's order first.

Lin Wei nodded and pushed the menu toward Shao Chengyu.

"You're familiar with this place, so you can order some. I'm not picky."

Shao Chengyu looked down at the menu and casually said something.

"I remember you really liked stuffed tofu; the stuffed tofu here is a specialty of Ancheng."

Try it.

Lin Wei paused for a moment! The tea almost spilled.

She looked at Shao Chengyu with some surprise.

How did he know she liked stuffed tofu?

This is a dish she has loved since she was a child; her grandmother often made it for her when she was little.

In her previous life, she married Gu Xuan because he disliked the taste of bean products.

She never ate stuffed tofu again.

Over time, even she herself rarely thought about this past hobby.

Shao Chengyu noticed the surprise in Lin Wei's eyes.

To begin explaining.

"I remember back in college, every time you and Shi Nuan went to that stir-fry window on the third floor of the first cafeteria,

"You should order a stuffed tofu. You seem to be enjoying it."

The suspicion in Lin Wei's eyes deepened.

During her four years of university, she probably didn't exchange more than ten sentences with Shao Chengyu!

Shao Chengyu looked at Lin Wei, feeling somewhat flustered, and tried to make amends.

"Because my roommate also really likes that stuffed tofu, he goes there almost every meal."

"He often dragged me to that window."

"I've run into you so many times that I remember you guys always ordering that dish."

Lin Wei smiled with relief.

"Oh, I see."

Shao Chengyu nodded, looking at the emerald green tea in the cup.

Only he himself knew about his clumsy unrequited love.

He wanted to see the girl with the ponytail and her eyes crinkling when she smiled a few more times.

Cai always dragged his roommate to that window.

He remembered how she always felt when she received that steaming bowl of stuffed tofu.

The eyes will light up slightly.

A profile of her and Shi Nuan chatting quietly while eating;

When she occasionally gets burned, she adorably sticks out her tongue...

Later, my roommates got tired of it and refused to go anymore.

He was alone, and as usual, he walked towards that window.

Order a serving of stuffed tofu and find a corner seat.

He silently ate the dish he didn't particularly like.

His gaze kept drifting in that direction.

Shao Chengyu raised his head, his face revealing little emotion.

"The stuffed tofu here is made with tofu ground using local mountain spring water."

Very good.

-

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Lin Wei felt the time was right and was about to ask him to help introduce her to Qin Simiao.

Before he could even speak, Shao Chengyu spoke first.

"Lin Wei, Old Master Qin is having a birthday banquet tonight at the Haiyue Villa in Ancheng."

"I'm looking for a female companion. I wonder if you'd be available... to be my companion tonight?"

Lin Wei was taken aback. Would the famous head of the Shaw Group lack female companions?

At last night's dinner party, An Keqing really took a liking to him.

He's probably the same type as Gu Jingcheng, enjoying the adoration of many socialites and heiresses in Ancheng.

She and Shao Chengyu were not yet familiar enough to go to banquets together.

Besides, she's already married.

However, Old Master Qin's birthday banquet was far more effective than her privately getting together with Qin Simiao!

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Wei agreed.

Shao Chengyu's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Lin Wei!"

"The banquet starts at seven o'clock, and I will pick you up downstairs at the hotel at six o'clock sharp."

Don't worry about the dress; I know a designer's studio not far from your hotel.

I can take you to pick out something suitable this afternoon.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll just go to the shopping mall near the hotel."

She didn't want to owe him any more favors.

"Okay. I'll pick you up tonight."

The car was parked in front of the Linwei Hotel.

Shao Chengyu got out of the car, opened the car door for her, and spoke gently.

See you tonight.

Lin Wei nodded and turned to walk into the hotel lobby.

Gu Jingcheng also has a social engagement in the evening, so it probably won't end so quickly.

Let's leave it at that for now...

She will contact Gu Jingcheng after attending Old Master Qin's birthday banquet.

-

It was quite late when Gu Jingcheng got off the plane.

He took a taxi to Grandpa Qin's Dahaiyue Villa.

The two companies have frequent business dealings.

Gu Jingcheng's father and Old Master Qin were close friends.

If Gu Huojun hadn't undergone surgery and needed oxygen from time to time,

He absolutely had to come in person for Mr. Qin's 60th birthday celebration.

As soon as the car stopped, Old Master Qin came out to greet us, leaning on his cane.

He was dressed in an elegant dark red Tang suit, looking energetic and all smiles.

"Jingcheng! We've finally arrived!"

Old Master Qin stepped forward and patted Gu Jingcheng's shoulder forcefully.

"Good lad, you're getting more and more like your father back in the day!"

"Uncle Qin, you're too kind. You even came out in person. I should be the one going in to wish you a happy birthday."

Gu Jingcheng bowed respectfully.

Old Master Qin's face lit up with joy, but his gaze inadvertently fell upon the sports car that had just come to a stop not far away.

He frowned slightly as his good-for-nothing grandson, Qin Simiao, jumped out of the driver's seat.

He swaggered over with a few strands of silver-gray hair dyed.

"Qin Simiao, dye the hair off your head back tomorrow. What kind of look is this?"

Qin Simiao was enjoying himself.

"Grandpa, you don't understand, this is called fashion."
