"Mom, isn't it too early to talk about this now?" Gu Fanyan pouted, let down her long hair that was tied up high, and went upstairs.

"You think I spoke too soon, but you don't have a clear opinion of your own. Isn't that just making people anxious?" Gu's mother muttered.

"Madam, didn't you notice?" Aunt Zhang, the nanny, said with a smile. "The young lady is very satisfied. Young girls are shy, so we can't expect her to say 'it's great,' can we?"

Gu's mother thought it made sense; at least Gu Fanyan hadn't shown the slightest impatience just now.

"So what do we do next?" Gu's mother asked.

“I think,” Aunt Zhang said, “that Mr. Murong should take the initiative in this matter.”

Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense, that makes sense, I'll make the call right now."

As night fell, the bar's private rooms were bustling with activity.

It's rare that we were able to invite Lin Zhibai and Lu Dongjue here today.

However, Lu Dongjue didn't drink much, nor did he seem to enjoy himself, and he kept thinking about leaving.

"What's the rush? Wanwan won't get lost at home." Lin Zhibai pressed his shoulder.

“I’m taken now, unlike you,” Lu Dongjue said bluntly.

Lin Zhibai chuckled, "You're underestimating Wanwan's potential."

"Don't go yet, Dongjue," Shen Xing walked in, "It seems there's something going on."

The two looked up towards the door and saw Shen Xinghui's two assistants bringing in a woman.

It is Yunwanqing.

Lin Zhibai leaned back on the sofa cushions. "It's you again."

"I warned you, if you dare to cause any more trouble, you'll face the consequences." A cold glint flashed in his handsome eyes.

“I came here specifically to tell you something,” Yun Wanqing said. “Sister Fanyan and Murong Mo are getting engaged. She just met his parents today.”

"It's the same restaurant where we met last time."

Lin Zhibai frowned deeply.

He did inquire about the situation last time, and the restaurant manager also said that Gu Fanyan was there to taste the dishes in order to entertain distinguished guests.

"I'm not lying to you." Yun Wanqing took out her phone.

She secretly took a photo today showing Gu Fanyan and Murong Mo chatting happily.

Gu Fanyan's smile was just as dazzling as the necklace around her neck.

“The necklace that Sister Fanyan is wearing is quite something,” Lu Dongjue glanced at it. “It seems the Murong family is serious.”

"Good stuff, hasn't Gu Fanyan seen it enough?" Lin Zhibai said dismissively. "She can't even give away this necklace, yet she expects to have dinner with her?"

Lu Dongjue curled his lip, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

"You were following Gu Fanyan?" Lin Zhibai asked coldly.

"No...no," Yun Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head. "Sister Fanyan arranged a job for me at her company. I went to her to sign the papers today and bumped into her by chance."

Lin Zhibai scrutinized her with a critical eye.

She kept her eyes lowered, as if afraid of revealing the secret in her heart.

"Alright, I got it. Get lost." Lin Zhibai tossed the phone back to Yun Wanqing.

Yun Wanqing was a little confused. That's it?

Lin Zhibai said, "From now on, you don't need to tip off anyone with this kind of news. Otherwise, you'll lose your job."

Yun Wanqing was unwilling, but she could only leave helplessly.

“Murong Mo,” Lu Dongjue thought for a moment, “to be honest, he’s actually a nice person. He even treated Wanwan and me to dinner last time.”

Shen Xinghui chimed in, "He's an artist. We just don't really like this kind of thing here. But overseas, he's more famous than a celebrity, and his net worth is..."

Before they could finish speaking, the two of them saw a figure flash before their eyes, and the sofa next to them was now empty.

"Young Master Lin, why are you running so fast? I haven't finished telling you about his net worth yet." A mischievous smile appeared in Shen Xinghui's eyes.

“Don’t try anything funny, kid,” Lu Dongjue raised an eyebrow, “Lin Zhibai will be speeding later.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up.

"Brother Dongjue, are you leaving too?" Shen Xing asked back.

Lu Dongjue agreed and started walking outside.

"The only one who can make Young Master Lu settle down is Miss Yun."

"Next time we should invite both of them. It's no fun when everyone's gone."

Shen Xinghui looked at the empty doorway, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but then he smiled again: "Who said it's boring? This kind of place is only fun for singles, it's boring when everyone's in a couple!"

"Call someone over, and tonight's expenses are on me."

"Brother Xinghui is awesome!"

The atmosphere in the private room became lively again.

...

"What's going on with Yun Wanqing asking me to sign some documents today?" Gu Fanyan asked as she washed up before making a phone call to her chief secretary.

As they were talking, a rumble of thunder came from outside the window.

The chief secretary was taken aback for a moment before explaining the whole story.

It's actually a very simple thing.

When she finished get off work in the afternoon, she checked her work assignments and found that a document had not been signed and was needed the next morning.

She originally planned to find Gu Fanyan again tomorrow morning, but Yun Wanqing said she would take charge.

The director looked puzzled and asked, "President Gu has already gone home, where are you going to find her to sign?"

"I have a way. In short, I can get President Gu to sign today."

The director thought that this matter was not considered troublesome, so he let her be.

But when Yun Wanqing told her, it became, "The secretary said this document is very urgent and must be signed today."

Gu Fanyan understood. It seemed that Yun Wanqing's visit to the restaurant today was intentional.

She couldn't figure out what Yun Wanqing was planning to do.

But perhaps he wanted to do something for the child he had lost...

Just then, Gu Fanyan's phone rang.

It was Lin Zhibai who called.

She didn't answer.

He kept hitting.

After thinking for a moment, she answered the phone, "What is it?"

"Why did you seal up the hole in the corner of the wall?" Lin Zhibai demanded, sounding quite angry.

Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback.

She did have the hole in the corner sealed off.

But she didn't expect that he would still think of coming in through that hole.

"What do you want to do?" she asked.

"Come out here, I have something to say," he commanded angrily.

"You can say what you need to say over the phone," she replied.

"Can't you come out?" His tone was icy. "Is Murong Mo in your room?"

"If I barge in now, I'm afraid none of us will look good."

"Nobody's going crazy with you." Gu Fanyan hung up the phone and turned it off.

She got up and went to the window to close the curtains, only to find that the thunder outside was getting louder and the wind was blowing harder.

She paused briefly, then pressed the button without hesitation to close the curtains.

Before going to bed, she deliberately drank half a glass of red wine. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her mother knocked on the bedroom door.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, are you asleep?" Gu's mother asked.

Could it be that Lin Zhibai really broke into the house?

Gu Fanyan invited her mother into the house. Her mother smiled and said, "Fanyan, tell me the truth, how far have things progressed between you and Murong Mo?"

"What...what step?" Gu Fanyan asked, puzzled.

"I just spoke with Mrs. Murong on the phone. She likes you very much," said Mrs. Gu. "She hopes you can become her daughter-in-law, and the sooner the wedding is held, the better!"

Gu Fanyan was speechless. How did the two elders start chatting, and even get into such a deep conversation!
