"Nothing, I just..."
Su An hesitated for two seconds, almost certain that he would run into Lu Ziying today, and said hurriedly, "It just suddenly occurred to me that Mr. Lu should also be here today..."
"You mean Lu Ziying?"
Gu Jingchen paused slightly, obviously just thinking about this.
Then he frowned.
All along, he had been tolerant of Lu Ziying only for Lu Ziting's sake.
She should have known that they were together.
Although she couldn't hear clearly that the identity behind Xia Xiaomo was An An, but...
Gu Jingchen thought about what she had done during this period of time, but he was still worried and reminded her, "Don't leave my side after we leave the venue. I don't think she will do anything to you."
"Yeah, I know."
Su An nodded, but he wasn't really worried.
But when I think about having to face Lu Ziying like that, I feel a little... helpless.
She also has an inescapable responsibility for Lu Ziying's current situation.
There was no conversation along the way, and the two of them arrived at the door of the venue with their own thoughts.
Before entering the door, Su An was still thinking about Lu Ziying, and there was no sign of relaxation on his tense face.
Gu Jingchen suddenly stopped.
Su An also subconsciously stopped and looked at him in confusion.
Then I felt my hand being tightly grasped.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Gu Jingchen's gentle yet firm words fell into his ears.
Su An was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party seemed to be comforting him.
I clearly warned myself not to be tempted again.
But deep down I couldn't help but feel a sense of security because of his words.
Su An nodded and forced a smile.
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything else and took him into the hall.
Many people had already gathered inside.
Almost as soon as the two of them appeared, they instantly became the focus of the audience.
When Gu Jingchen made it public before, although it only caused social discussion on the surface, how could the people present not know about it?
It's just that people like them won't bring such things out into the open for gossip.
The only one who was brave enough was Ye Shaoqi, who called Gu Jingchen immediately after seeing the news.
Then he was hung up mercilessly.
At this time, many eyes were looking at Su An.
Su An pursed her lips. Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she still straightened her back, took Gu Jingchen's arm, and walked towards today's hero, Cheng Yue.
"Happy birthday, President Cheng."
Su An sent his blessings on behalf of Gu Jingchen.
Cheng Yue saw the two people coming from afar, and immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, greeting them, "Welcome, welcome. I heard a few days ago that Mr. Gu and Assistant Xia..."
He paused mid-sentence, then smiled and changed his tone, "Now I should say... the future Mrs. Gu."
Gu Jingchen raised the corner of his lips when he heard this, and seemed very satisfied with this title.
Mr. Cheng was very good at reading people's expressions, so he naturally didn't miss his expression. He then continued, "You two are indeed a perfect match, and Assistant Xia is so outstanding. I believe that you will work together with Mr. Gu to make Gu's company better and better in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the people who were still watching the situation came over and praised how well-matched Gu Jingchen and Su An were.
The next second——
"If you're really together, why bother hiding it in the first place? We all have eyes to see what's going on, right?"
A familiar female voice suddenly sounded. It was clearly a teasing tone, but it sounded inexplicably sarcastic and a bit uncomfortable.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Then he saw Lu Ziying walking in from outside the crowd with a wine glass in hand, and looked at Gu Jingchen and Su An in the middle with a charming look.
This reminded many people of the time when Su An first took office and everyone started speculating about her relationship with Gu Jingchen.
Now that the two of them have made their relationship public, although everyone is expressing their blessings, everyone is actually thinking that this is just as expected.
It would be strange if I wasn't moved to have such a beautiful female assistant by my side.
Lu Ziying's eyes became more and more mocking.
But this is Cheng Yue’s place after all.
It was because of her pleading that Cheng Yue allowed the Lu family to cooperate with the Gu family because of the friendship between the two families.
Therefore, she didn't dare to make things too ugly in front of Cheng Yue.
䥍...After all, he couldn't help it and came up to mock him.
Cheng Yue knew her temper and hurried to smooth things over, "Ziying, you've never been in a relationship, so you don't understand this, right? Mr. Gu is someone who takes relationships so seriously, so it's natural that he and Assistant Xia will fall in love over time. Only after a long time can you confirm whether the other person is the one you want."
After he finished speaking, others followed suit.
It was nothing more than the same rhetoric praising Gu Jingchen.
Lu Ziying listened silently, but held the wine glass in her hand tighter and tighter.
yes.
She has never been in love.
But...who should be blamed for this?
It was the first time she fell in love at first sight and fell in love with someone.
I think as long as I work hard, I can get a good result.
But in the end, what she got in return was the loss of her brother who loved her the most!
And the culprit wants to start another relationship like this?
No way!
"Gu Jingchen..."
Lu Ziying raised her eyes suddenly and wanted to say something.
Someone gently pulled my wrist.
She stopped instantly and subconsciously turned her head to look at Cheng Yue beside her.
Then he gave her a stern warning look.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across Lu Ziying's eyes, but she finally swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and left without saying a word.
Cheng Yue tried to smooth things over again, "Mr. Gu, Ziying has that temper. Don't bother with her. Let's go over there and have a drink and chat."
"Um."
Gu Jingchen responded, as if he didn't take what happened just now to heart at all.
Su An, however, looked at the direction where Lu Ziying left with some concern, feeling a little uncomfortable.
I'm sorry, Ziying.
She said silently in her heart.
If there was no other way, she really didn't want to hurt anyone in the Lu family again...
More than thirty drinks.
Lu Ziying really did not appear again.
Su An also felt a little relieved.
After staying for another hour, the banquet was coming to an end, so she planned to leave with Gu Jingchen.
Two people came to the underground parking lot.
Gu Jingchen drank a little too much today, and when he was alone, he acted like a spoiled child, half leaning on Su An and talking in her ear.
"Xiao Mo, I'm drunk, what should I do?"
His tone was smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
I don't know why, but the more he became attached to her, the more uncertain he felt.
I’m afraid all this is just like a dream, and I’ll wake up one day.
Or maybe...
I already knew this was a dream, but I didn't want to wake up.
