When Xu Huanyan couldn't get Gu Jingchen, this man unconsciously became an obsession deep in her heart. Coupled with Jiang Yun's strong demands, Xu Huanyan still harbors some feelings for him.

She looked up and sized up Gu Jingchen.

In terms of both appearance and the aura of a superior, Gu Jingchen surpasses Yan Ziyan.

Yan Ziyan is more like the boy next door, kind and warm, with a radiant smile, but he can't shine into Xu Huanyan's heart like sunshine.

The easier something is to obtain, the less people tend to cherish it.

"Mr. Gu, is there something you need from me?"

Xu Huanyan calmed herself down, realizing she couldn't act impulsively like she had the previous two times.

She remembered how much Gu Jingchen liked Su Ning. Even though she suspected that there was a real conflict between Gu Jingchen and Su Ning, she didn't dare to show her secret joy and excitement on her face.

"Have you thought it through before marrying Yan Ziyan?"

Gu Jingchen's voice was indifferent, but his words left much to the imagination.

"Ziyan is very good to me."

As Xu Huanyan spoke, the image of Yan Ziyan smiling flashed through her mind.

Aside from not helping her return to the Xu family and not helping her fight back against Su Ning, he treated her very well in every other way.

He would research what she liked to eat and make the exact same dish the next day.

When she was in a bad mood, he would tell her a lot of jokes to cheer her up.

If she gets angry, he stays by her side, waiting for her to calm down before smiling and coaxing her.

Xu Huanyan used to look down on Yan Ziyan for his good qualities, but now when she thinks about them, she feels an unusual warmth in her heart.

Where is Mr. Gu?

Xu Huanyan snapped out of her thoughts and asked Gu Jingchen.

"How are things between you and Su Ning? Is she feeling better?"

When Xu Huanyan asked this question, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jingchen. She wanted to hear that the two of them had argued, and she wanted to hear that Su Ning's health was still bad.

Haha, that's just how extreme she is!

From the moment she learned of Su Ning's existence and her own background, she embarked on a dark path from which she refused to turn back.

"fine!"

Gu Jingchen gave a two-word answer, which left it unclear whether he was referring to his relationship with Su Ning or Su Ning's recovery.

Xu Huanyan smiled, increasingly convinced that Gu Jingchen had other things to discuss with her.

After a while, Gu Jingchen still didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the private room was so quiet that her heart was pounding, and all she could hear was the sound of the wind blowing in from outside the window.

With a creak, the door to the private room was pushed in from the outside. Xu Huanyan, who was sitting in her seat, didn't pay attention and just assumed that a waiter had come in. She elegantly drank the hot water in her cup and looked up at Gu Jingchen with a slight smile.

Regardless, Xu Huanyan wanted to present her best self to the man Jiang Yun had found for her.

She changed the subject, "I really envy Su Ning for finding such a wonderful man as Mr. Gu!"

Envy flickered in her eyes; marrying Gu Jingchen meant becoming the Mrs. Gu family.

This identity is more alluring than that of Yan Ziyan's wife.

Unfortunately, Su Ning, the one who stole her identity, took it away.

"envious!"

Gu Jingchen replied coldly, his gaze falling on the middle-aged man who had entered.

No, the man was about the same age as Xu Sheng, but he looked thin and haggard, making it believable that he was over sixty.

When he saw Xu Huanyan, he stood there stunned, his eyes reddening.

Xu Huanyan, with her back to the middle-aged man, was unaware of all this.
