"Have you two gotten married?" he asked calmly.
Zhou Yan stiffened his neck and said, "No"
"You call me wife without getting married?" Gu Boyan gave him a cold look, disdainful.
With an extremely cold expression and a hint of displeasure on his face, Zhou Yan loosened his hand holding the red wine glass slightly and quickly lowered his eyes.
Just at this moment, the eyes of a pot-bellied boss lit up.
Many of the insignificant people at the banquet didn't recognize Gu Boyan, but he was different.
As everyone knows, if you can negotiate a business deal with Gu Boyan, you will get unimaginable resources. It's as if you have already seen your company's rapid success and prosperity.
The fat boss smiled, picked up a glass of wine from the table and quickly walked over to greet him.
"Mr. Gu"
Therefore, Gu Boyan did not see the sinister smile that flashed across Zhou Yan's lowered eyes.
Xuanxuan was right. The words she said just now about her love being stronger than gold to Chen Nian'an were all said on purpose, with the purpose of angering Gu Boyan. Just think about it, how could a man at the top of the pyramid allow the one he holds in his hand to like another man?
But he knew Chen Nian'an well enough, and she would not succumb to power. She would definitely tell Gu Boyan in a stern voice how much she loved him.
Then, it would surely irritate Gu Boyan. The love of a superior man is fleeting and just a toy. If the woman is considerate and obedient with a pretty face, he would naturally be more interested.
But once you make them angry, they will be treated like trash and you will be at the mercy of others.
Zhou Yan thought evilly, his eyes caught the man with a tightly furrowed brow, he smiled, and left triumphantly.
But, it’s still a little short of perfection, the best is yet to come.
"Not interested." Gu Boyan glanced inside and waved his hand to interrupt the unknown boss who was chattering and handing him a business card.
Chen Nian'an was surrounded by several gorgeously dressed women. They were talking about something, but he looked very relaxed with a faint smile on his face.
Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Boyan went up to the VIP box on the second floor.
His straight back flows smoothly from his well-tailored suit to his long legs wrapped in black trousers.
His every move is full of charm, and his cool expression reveals his abstinence.
Several young ladies dressed in colorful clothes had their eyes almost popped out, and they couldn't help but take confident steps and quietly followed him up to the second floor.
Yiyuan is the largest and most luxurious celebrity exchange venue in City A. No one knows who the owner is, but he is not after power, but only loves money. As long as the money is in place, no matter if you are a business tycoon, a political leader, or a star artist, you cannot cut in line.
"Tsk, don't look at it." Chen Nian'an shook the wine glass, and the wine-red liquid formed a bewitching arc under the neon light.
She took a sip and glanced at the women who had their eyes glued to her and almost wanted to float up to the second floor.
He smiled lightly, his tone casual and gentle.
Several girls looked away with regret. Zhu Yan, who was standing behind Liu Xuanxuan, was still reluctant to look away, staring at Gu Boyan who had disappeared from the second floor.
[Why does this woman, Chen Nian'an, win Mr. Gu's favor?]
【She deserves it! 】
[Boss Gu has never seen my gorgeous face. If he had, he would definitely kick that ugly Chen Nian'an away.]
Chen Nian'an casually picked up a small cake spread on a long white silk cloth on the side, took a bite, and then cast his gaze on the face of Zhu Yan, who turned around and was known as the "beautiful lady of the prosperous age".
Tsk, it’s hard to put it into words.
Unable to help it, Chen Nian'an looked at her, shook his head, and took another bite of the cake.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xuanxuan moved her face, which was almost frozen with laughter, and asked in confusion when she saw her eyes glancing at her.
[Ever since I pulled Chen Nian'an over here and indirectly praised the skirt she was wearing for a long time, she hasn't said anything about giving it to me. In the past, Chen Nian'an would have eagerly offered it to me.]
What happened today?
[You're not sensible at all. Did you find out about what's going on between me and Yan-ge?]
[No, if she found out, with her stubborn mind, she wouldn't be able to keep silent and act so calm.]
"What's wrong with An An?" Seeing that Chen Nian'an just looked at her and smiled without saying anything, Liu Xuanxuan felt inexplicably numb by her eyes.
The eyes of several people around him fell on him, and Chen Nian'an leaned forward slightly, moving a little closer to Liu Xuanxuan.
He looked her up and down, his face filled with pure curiosity, and said in surprise, "Xuanxuan, your birthday dress today looks familiar. Isn't it the dress I lost during the off-season two years ago?"
She shifted her gaze again, her sight falling on her earlobe, and pointed, "Oh, isn't this the emerald pendant earring I lost?"
As soon as she finished speaking, several ladies in formal attire around her cast strange glances at Liu Xuanxuan.
Her expression was filled with unconcealable surprise, as if she had not expected that the dresses Liu Xuanxuan wore on her birthday were all unwanted by others.
"No..." Liu Xuanxuan waved her hands, her face like a little white flower showing a bit of helplessness, and her heart had already gritted its teeth.
After pretending to be calm, she pulled the corners of her mouth, frowned, and said in a light tone, "An An, what nonsense are you talking about? All the things in the Zhong family have been sealed. Your clothes and jewelry may have been pawned."
After a pause, she seemed unable to help herself, and sighed softly, looking at her with pity.
"I know that in a short time, you fell from the clouds into the quagmire, lost your loved ones and all your glory. You are a little psychologically unbalanced, and it is inevitable that you have some hysteria..."
After a few seconds, she seemed to be unable to speak, and she hesitated to speak in the expectation of everyone who had already pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yan, who had been dissatisfied behind him for a long time, raised his thick eyebrows, and even the dirt marks on his cheeks were stained with arrogance and excitement.
It was a smug smile as if one finally had the chance to trample the once-popular princess underfoot like trash.
The voice was sharp and piercing, continuing Liu Xuanxuan's unfinished words.
"She's inevitably a bit hysterical. She thinks any expensive jewelry she sees is hers. Xuanxuan, why are you so polite to her? Do you think she's the eldest daughter of the Zhong family?"
Zhu Yan crossed his arms and glanced sideways.
"Who knows if the Zhong family did something wrong to deserve divine punishment, some dying, some fleeing."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around who was watching the show gasped.
Even if Chen Nian'an's family went bankrupt, no matter how sincere or fake Gu Boyan was, he was still the one under his protection. Moreover, he came to accompany her today.
Only a brainless upstart like Zhu Yan would dare to go all out and attack Gu Boyan's woman without even figuring out the situation.
ox.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nian'an's brows slowly turned cold, but the corners of his mouth were still raised as he looked at her.
A hint of a satisfied smile flashed across Liu Xuanxuan's eyes, but quickly disappeared, and she tugged at Zhu Yan's sleeve.
He pursed his lips and whispered to her: "Ayan, An An is my friend. Even if she is just an ordinary person now, she is still my friend. Don't be rude to her. Apologize."
