"Xixi, you're so good to me."
Zhou Mingyan grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and pressed it against his face, a smile playing on his lips, unable to stop his excited grin.
I will treat you even better.
Shen Yanxi's eyes gradually became hazy, completely immersed in the tenderness with Zhou Mingyan.
After receiving the invitation, Zhou Mingyan deliberately called He Lingchuan.
It took three calls to get through, and He Lingchuan's cold voice clearly reminded Zhou Mingyan how impatient he was.
"I'll only give you three minutes."
His voice sounded imperious, and Zhou Mingyan's smugness hadn't disappeared. He snorted coldly, "Your invitation is in my hands."
"What invitation?"
He Lingchuan has been busy with research and experiments lately and has completely forgotten about the banquet.
"Stop pretending. You've always wanted to go to the Gu family's banquet, haven't you? Aren't you and Gu Chengze good brothers? Why didn't he give you a separate invitation?"
After being reminded by him, He Lingchuan belatedly realized what had happened.
"Is this the purpose of your call?"
His tone remained indifferent, showing he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"He Lingchuan, the way you're trying to act calm right now is really hilarious."
Zhou Mingyan was so smug that he completely ignored He Lingchuan's explanation.
The other person gradually lost patience: "Think whatever you want."
He was about to hang up when Zhou Mingyan stopped him: "He Lingchuan, if you're really capable, go yourself."
Why should I listen to you?
It's just a banquet, what difference does it make whether I go or not?
Besides, if he really wanted to go, he could just ask Gu Chengze for another invitation. I don't know what Zhou Mingyan is so smug about.
Before hanging up the phone, He Lingchuan suddenly thought of something and whispered a reminder to him: "If you have any questions about taking care of the child in the future, feel free to call me anytime. As for other things, don't bother me."
He doesn't even have enough time to do research each day, let alone time to deal with these boring people.
"He Lingchuan, keep being stubborn. I'll make sure you know who Xixi cares about most."
He Lingchuan paused in his act of hanging up the phone: "Whatever."
He put down his phone, ran his hands through his hair, his expression serious, and stopped working.
"Don't get distracted."
He absolutely cannot be influenced by Shen Yanxi. It's just a banquet, what's the big deal?
He looked up at Gu Chengze's office, hesitant.
...
Gu Chengze slammed his hand on the table, trembling with anger: "Shen Yanxi has gone too far. That was the invitation I gave you. What right does she have to give it to someone else?"
Why get angry with someone like that?
He Lingchuan squeezed her shoulder: "Is this banquet important? If it's not important..."
"It's important, you must be there."
Gu Chengze was determined to get justice for him, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.
He Lingchuan originally wanted to let it go, but he smiled helplessly and could only go along with Gu Chengze in the end.
"Don't worry, they won't be smug for long."
On the day of the banquet, Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan attended together.
"Miss Shen and Mr. Zhou are truly a perfect match."
"As expected, only Mr. Zhou is worthy of Miss Shen. If Miss Shen were with someone else, I would cry my eyes out."
"They are a perfect match, I wonder when they will get married."
Zhou Mingyan listened to the praise from those around him, a smug look on his face.
He held Shen Yanxi's hand tightly, refusing to let go for even a moment.
"Mingyan, what are you looking for?"
They were ushered in by the crowd, and Shen Yanxi noticed that he kept looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
"I'm wondering if Mr. He will come, and what if he does? I have his invitation."
"Ignore him."
Shen Yanxi handed him a glass of wine: "He doesn't inform me about anything he does now. He should be taught a lesson and given the cold shoulder."
He Lingchuan is getting more and more temperamental these days, and she can hardly control this man.
She just wanted to put an end to his arrogance, otherwise he would really think he could do something to her.
"Xixi, I'm still a little worried. After all, what I did wasn't very ethical."
Zhou Mingyan is good at showing weakness in front of Shen Yanxi. Every time he shows this helpless expression, Shen Yanxi can put down what she is doing and comfort him first.
It's the same now. She put down her wine glass and gripped Zhou Mingyan's wrists tightly with both hands: "Don't feel guilty. I gave you this invitation. If he wants to cause trouble for anyone, he'll come to me. Don't worry, I will never let him hurt you."
Shen Yanxi made a solemn promise to him, completely disregarding He Lingchuan's feelings.
"Xixi, you're so good to me."
A commotion arose in the crowd. Before Zhou Mingyan could finish expressing his true feelings, he was drawn to the murmurs behind him.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Chengze and He Lingchuan walk in together.
The invitation in his hand was exactly the same as his own.
“I remember Mr. Zhou’s invitation letter looks exactly the same as the one he has.”
"This invitation seems to be from the same set as Miss Shen's."
Gu Chengze put a lot of effort into distributing the invitations, since the banquet had a charitable aspect.
If they are a married couple, he will design a special invitation so that anyone with a discerning eye can immediately tell who is the couple.
As for single people, the invitations are in a different style, and each person's invitation is different.
"What is his relationship with Miss Shen?"
"Is this fake?"
"How could President Gu make such a mistake?"
"But he came in with President Gu, which means they know each other."
As the people around her chimed in with their comments, Zhou's sensitive face instantly darkened.
He now looks like a clown, being roasted on the fire by them.
"He Lingchuan? What are you doing here?"
Shen Yanxi's tone was full of reproach: "How did you get this invitation? Did you make it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood: "I knew it, this invitation must be fake."
"So you did it secretly."
"Even President Gu has been deceived."
"Isn't this just a mistress trying to take over? Luckily, Miss Shen simply doesn't want to pay any attention to her."
"What on earth is Miss Shen thinking that she could possibly take a liking to this person?"
He Lingchuan heard their conversation clearly. He pointed at himself and said, "You're saying I'm a mistress?"
He Lingchuan looked at Shen Yanxi, his eyes full of doubt: "You heard what they said, don't you have anything to say?"
Instead of revealing their identities themselves, it's better to let Shen Yanxi tell them.
Now that things have come to this, Shen Yanxi shouldn't be hiding it anymore, but unexpectedly...
"He Lingchuan, you should go back right away. Don't cause me any trouble here. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
