Chapter 36 Give Me a Son
The man's eyes flickered slightly. He first looked down at her outstretched hand, then looked up at her.
A moment later, he reached out his hand.
Four fingers gently squeezed into her tightly clenched palm, grasping her hand through the hem of her skirt.
Those peach blossom eyes gazed at her quietly, the moonlight reflecting in their dark depths, like another endless starry night sky.
Lu Fengqing's heart was racing uncontrollably.
Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too beautiful tonight, or perhaps it was because those eyes were too alluring, that Lu Fengqing forgot the saying, "Strike while the iron is hot," and that some men shouldn't be indulged.
The man held her hand and slowly said, "Are you still going to push me away?"
"..." That's enough.
The tenderness in my heart vanished without a trace in an instant.
Lu Fengqing instantly calmed down and denied it: "I didn't."
Gu Suixing: "You're looking for other men?"
Lu Fengqing's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent.
We definitely need to look for him, but we can't say it in front of him. What if he goes crazy again?
Gu Suixing's tone was calm yet carried a hint of danger: "If there's a next time..."
Lu Fengqing instinctively replied, "Break my legs?"
Gu Suixing smiled faintly, "I can't bear to part with it."
His gaze slid down to Lu Fengqing's lower abdomen, and he said thoughtfully, "After thinking it over, I can only ask you to give me a son."
The best way to keep a woman is to get her pregnant with your child.
A gentleman's appearance is always a disguise. Gu Suixing doesn't consider himself a good person. What he wants, he can never get.
Lu Fengqing's heart skipped a beat.
She thought she knew him fairly well and that he meant what he said, but she never imagined he could be this crazy.
Lu Fengqing suppressed her unease and tried to have a proper talk with him when Huo Huai'an's shout suddenly came from afar—
"Lu Nian, follow the stars!"
Lu Fengqing shuddered and abruptly withdrew her hand.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, scattering all the beauty.
As soon as Huo Huai'an ran up to the two of them, he met the sinister gaze of a certain ancestor.
"..."
Huo Huai'an had no idea what he had done to offend this ancestor, that this ancestor was staring at him like that.
Huo Huai'an asked Lu Fengqing, "What's wrong with him?"
"...I don't know." Lu Fengqing felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Gu Suixing. Instead, she asked Huo Huai'an, "How did you get here?"
"I waited for you for ages and you didn't come to the banquet hall. I went back to my place and saw that the staff said you had been taken away by Aunt Wan."
Huo Huai'an turned to the side and pointed with his chin at the staff member who had brought him over, who was standing not far away.
Gu Suixing: "I'm leaving."
Just now, Lu Fengqing was so busy pulling her hand away that Gu Suixing was still holding the hem of her skirt.
Gu Suixing grabbed her skirt and pulled her towards their residence.
"Wait a minute." Huo Huai'an grabbed Gu Suixing. "The banquet isn't over yet. Come back to the banquet hall with me."
Don't forget why they traveled all this way to get here.
Gu Suixing looked at Lu Fengqing, "Back to the banquet hall."
Lu Fengqing calmly pulled back her skirt. "You guys go ahead, I won't go."
The banquet is already halfway through. If we go now, it won't be a grand finale or a blatant late arrival. It's better not to go at all.
Gu Suixing looked at her but didn't move.
Huo Huai'an kept urging her on, but Gu Suixing looked at the staff standing not far away and said calmly, "Send her back."
The staff member should smile.
...
Qin Xuan saw the two return and glanced behind them. "Didn't you find Miss Lu?"
Huo Huai'an: "She went back first."
Qin Xuan nodded, glanced at the distance, and said in a low voice, "Miss Zhang went to see Miss Lu after she came back, and she's sulking right now."
Huo Huai'an glanced in that direction as well, and almost laughed.
Gu Suixing took the wine glass from a passing waiter, tilted his head slightly, and took a small sip.
Beneath the suit, a black tie pulled the white shirt collar all the way up, and further up, his sexy Adam's apple was clearly visible.
As the drink slid down his throat, his Adam's apple, illuminated by the crystal chandeliers of the banquet hall, seemed to take on an inexplicable allure.
This attracted frequent glances from the women around them, who wished they could stand beside the Crown Prince in Qin Xuan's place.
Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Huai'an saw two portly middle-aged men carrying wine glasses walking over and whispered, "They are General Manager Lin from Little Panda Home Appliances and General Manager Chen from Minghui Electronics."
Both of these are established domestic brands. Although they cannot compare with the rapidly growing real estate developers in recent years, they are both well-known companies in China.
However, compared to the Gu family, who are now the richest family in China, they are still far from being as wealthy.
Upon hearing that the young master of the Gu family had also come to the Xie family manor, one or two of them had already begun to consider getting to know him.
Seeing that someone had gone ahead, the others disregarded their status and stepped forward to chat with the young master.
They were afraid that if they arrived late, they would be squeezed out of the crowd and unable to speak.
-
As the banquet ended, Huo Huai'an glanced at his ancestor's cold face and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you managed to coax her back yet?"
Gu Suixing ignored him.
Huo Huai'an thought about it and felt that the two of them wouldn't completely fall out over this matter. At most, they would make up after a few more days of fighting. No matter how much he tried to persuade them, it would be useless, so he simply ignored them.
Back at their residence, Qin Xuan offered to change rooms and share a room with Lu Fengqing next door.
Huo Huai'an readily replied, "Thank you."
He didn't want to share a bed with this ancestor and see his cold face up close.
It's so great that I don't have to share a bed with this ancestor.
Qin Xuan hadn't opened her suitcase since she brought it in, saving herself the trouble of unpacking. She simply dragged her suitcase and knocked on the door next door.
Lu Fengqing opened the door when she heard the knock. "Miss Qin?"
Qin Xuan explained, "Young Master Huo wants to share a room with President Gu, so I'll come over here instead."
Lu Fengqing nodded and stepped aside to let him in.
As long as it's not that guy surnamed Gu, it's fine with anyone.
Of course, Zhang Qin, that gossipy old woman, is an exception.
However, Lu's old flame wasn't that fond of Qin's new love either.
Lu Fengqing pointed to the room on the left, "I'll stay in this one."
"Okay." Qin Xuan stood still.
Lu Fengqing then asked, "Is there anything else, Miss Qin?"
Qin Xuan didn't speak immediately, but subtly glanced at Lu Fengqing.
The young lady was wearing a nightgown, and her hair was still wet, so she must have just come out of the shower. Even without makeup, her delicate face was still extremely beautiful.
Clearly, the title of the most beautiful woman in the industry is not unfounded.
Even without the childhood sweetheart relationship, this young lady certainly has the qualities to make people remember her fondly.
“Miss Lu is indeed beautiful, few can match her, but based on my understanding of Mr. Gu, he is not such a superficial person.” Qin Xuan said softly, “I never understood why Mr. Gu was so fond of Miss Lu until Young Master Huo explained it to me just now, and then I understood.”
Lu Fengqing hadn't expected Qin Xuan to bring this up, but she remained calm and asked, "What does Miss Qin want to say?"
