Chapter 1518 He doesn’t dare now

Shi Chenyuan shook his head: "Not yet, but he will be brought back to China in the next two days."

"Yu Haiqiang has reconciled, but Yu Manning has an extreme personality. Can she be willing to accept this?" Gu Hanye asked.

Shi Chenyuan said that maybe Yu Manning was unwilling, but without her father's support, she could do nothing and could only cooperate obediently.

"So it seems like you don't have to worry about being forced into marriage by the Yu family?" Gu Hanye said with a hint of teasing.

"I wasn't worried at first. If I hadn't exposed Ning Le's pretending to be a vegetable, I would have almost forced Yu Haiqiang to give up on the business. He even wanted to use Rong Ye's case to threaten me into marrying his daughter. That's simply unbelievable."

Gu Hanye smiled and nodded, suddenly remembering Shi Chenyuan's suggestion, and said, "Didn't you say that your Xiaoyu wanted to go to South Bay? When I recover from my injury, the four of us can go there together for a trip?"

"Sure, I'm busy right now, so I won't have any time in the second half of the year. Why don't we go there in September or October? We can stop by my dad's winery. It'll be the grape harvest time then, so we can join in the fun and then go to South Bay."

The two hit it off immediately and made the decision happily.

Gu Hanye saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he asked Shi Chenyuan and Xiaoyu about their evening plans. After confirming that they were free in the evening, he quickly called Uncle Qi to prepare two more meals.

That evening, the four friends had a lively meal at the hospital.

Although everyone had their own problems to solve and their situations were not easy, their happiness came simply this evening.

At the same time, in Haicheng, a grand banquet was taking place in Xiao Chongyang's luxurious manor.

It was Xiao Jun's birthday, and his father held a big banquet to celebrate for him.

Xiao Jun doesn't like crowds, he is even afraid of such occasions.

His father was not really celebrating his birthday, but was just using it as an excuse to win over business partners in Haicheng and expand his network.

It just so happens that Gu Hanye is ill again, so this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for many bigwigs to get together with a suitable reason, while avoiding Gu Hanye and having a good chat about future cooperation and development.

So, even if Xiao Jun didn't want to participate at all, he still had to come back and show up.

He changed into a neat suit, walked to the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and thought of his meeting with Gu Hanye in the afternoon. He couldn't help but straighten his back.

That guy, despite being so badly injured, was still able to appear in front of him with his back straight, his eyes firm and his posture noble.

Then what reason do I have to shrink back?

Even if Jiuyao wasn't at the banquet and couldn't see what he looked like at the moment, he didn't want to hide in the dark like before.

He also wanted to go out with an open mind instead of locking himself in a dark room forever.

After all, even though he himself can accept such a closed life, Jiuyao... won't be able to accept it in the future.

He has to adapt in advance.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jun smiled and felt full of strength and had the courage to go out.

He also remembered Jiuyao sitting opposite him, reading quietly.

The afternoon sun shone on her, so warm that he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.

But he didn't dare.

He doesn't dare now.

So in that short hour and thirty-nine minutes, he breathed softly and did not dare to disturb her at all, hoping that she could keep reading and he could keep looking at her.

If Gu Hanye hadn't shown up, if his father hadn't called to urge him, perhaps he could have stayed with Jiuyao a little longer.

But it didn't matter. He had already engraved the scene in his mind and could see it as soon as he closed his eyes. He could even clearly see the tiny hairs on her face, so cute.

Xiao Jun withdrew his thoughts, took a deep breath, straightened the corner of his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Walking towards the golden door of the banquet hall, behind that door is the most noisy bustle, the most hypocritical faces, the most despicable souls, and the ugliest beauties.

But for Jiuyao, he had to push open the door with his own hands and walk over bravely.
