It was not until Friday that Lu Wenxing realized that the banquet was not held in a hotel or villa, but on a luxury cruise ship.
Lu Wenxing, who originally wanted to accompany the guests, also became a little interested. He had never been on a luxury cruise ship, but he knew that there were all kinds of entertainment facilities on the cruise ship.
"for you."
Lu Wenxing took it and asked, "What is this?"
"Invitation letter." Gu Yanshen straightened his collar. "It doesn't mean you didn't receive an invitation."
Lu Wenxing opened the invitation letter and found the boarding time and sailing time at the bottom. After he finished reading it, Gu Yanshen spoke.
"Mr. Lu Wenxing, can I invite you to the dinner tonight?"
Gu Yanshen took a step back, with one hand behind his back and the other hand facing up.
Lu Wenxing couldn't help but think of the dance they had once danced. At that time, Gu Yanshen had also invited her to dance in the same way.
Lu Wenxing lowered his palm and placed it on Gu Yanshen's hand.
"Of course, it's an honor."
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenxing would be so cooperative. A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yanshen's eyes. He held Lu Wenxing's hand and pulled her into his arms, then hugged Lu Wenxing.
Feeling the tenderness in his arms, Gu Yanshen rested his chin on Lu Wenxing's shoulder. He was taller than Lu Wenxing, so it was a bit tiring for him to do this position, but he really liked hugging Lu Wenxing like this, and he also liked to rub his neck with the tip of his nose.
"I prepared some clothes for you, would you like to try them on first?"
Lu Wenxing himself had clothes, but when Gu Yanshen said that, he just nodded.
There are two suits in total, one in Lu Wenxing's size and the other in Gu Yanshen's size, and they are the same style.
There was a string of Spanish words printed on the pocket of the suit, and Lu Wenxing could tell at a glance that it was a high-end model from a luxury brand.
"Uncle just notified you last week that you were going to attend the banquet. You can't customize two suits in such a short time, right?"
Gu Yanshen's eyelids drooped. "You can think of this, but you can't think of anything else?"
"Others?" Lu Wenxing looked at him puzzledly, "What else?"
Before Lu Wenxing could figure out what was going on, Gu Yanshen gently pushed him.
"Go try it first."
"oh."
What Lu Wenxing didn't know was that Gu Yanshen had ordered this suit more than a month ago, and it just happened to coincide with this dinner.
He changed his clothes and walked in front of Gu Yanshen. Lu Wenxing was tall and had long legs. His trousers brought out his long and straight legs, and his coat outlined his slender waist.
Gu Yanshen also changed into the same suit. They both looked at themselves in front of the floor-length mirror. Lu Wenxing's eyes curved.
"Are they a perfect match?"
"A perfect match." Gu Yanshen also smiled.
"You haven't told me yet, when did you order it?" Lu Wenxing touched the tip of his nose. "Even if it's an ordinary clothing store, it would take ten days or half a month to order it. This brand is even harder to make an appointment."
Gu Yanshen didn't explain, and pulled him to sit on the sofa, "We'll board the ship at seven, and we'll leave at six. Let's eat something first."
"Cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Lu Wenxing didn't want to eat now, he just wanted to know when Gu Yanshen would customize the clothes.
Gu Yanshen did not answer him. He hung up his suit. Lu Wenxing sat there and continued to think.
"It was specially made, and it's definitely not for the party. So why bring it out now?"
There was a pat on the forehead.
"Don't think about it, what are you going to eat tonight?"
"Whatever." Lu Wenxing followed Gu Yanshen into the kitchen, "Are there a lot of delicious food on the cruise ship?"
"Will they hire a whole team of chefs like on TV? Will they have both Chinese and Western cuisines, and can they eat dishes from all over the world?"
Gu Yanshen: "..."
"It's not meal time when you board the ship. Only desserts and snacks will be prepared. There will be no dishes from different countries. You'd better eat well before boarding."
"oh."
"That……"
Gu Yanshen opened the glass door and pushed Lu Wenxing out. "Don't get your clothes dirty. Go wait outside."
…
At 6:30 in the evening, Gu Yanshen brought Lu Wenxing on board.
The invitation stated that guests were sincerely invited to enjoy the night view of City C, but everyone who was invited knew the truth. However, no one expected that the right of inheritance would fall to Gu Yanning.
Those who knew Gu Ansheng in his early years knew that he had an older son who was mature, steady, and well-behaved. He neglected to discipline his younger son and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. It was easy to imagine who would have the inheritance rights.
But after seeing the press conference, everyone was shocked. They were curious about the younger son who rarely appeared in public, and even more curious about the older son who had never attended a business occasion.
Gu Yanshen took Lu Wenxing on a tour starting from the first floor.
There is a bar and dance floor on the first floor, and a western restaurant, dessert area and beverage area on the second floor, whichever is more suitable for eating.
The third floor is the swimming pool, gymnasium, cinema, and game room. The fourth floor is the lounge, and the serial number on the invitation letter is the room number of the lounge.
Those invited were all well-known business people. Lu Wenxing had met some of them at the Wen family banquet. He knew of these people, but he was not familiar with them. However, he couldn't help but say hello when he met them.
Gu Yanshen knew a lot of people. He had attended many business banquets and some of them were former partners. He was not familiar with them, but he was not unfamiliar with them either.
He and Lu Wenxing had already made their relationship public, so there was nothing for him to worry about. After getting on the boat, he held Lu Wenxing's hand.
"Isn't that Gu Yanshen?"
"The other one is Lu Wenxing, right?"
"The Gu family also invited them?"
"It's not surprising that the Wen family was invited, but I was also surprised that Lu Wenxing attended. I thought that he would not interfere in business affairs after entering the entertainment industry."
"What's the big deal? He's the heir after all. It's impossible for him to just ignore everything. But Gu Yanshen...did he come here with Lu Wenxing?"
"Maybe. They have a really good relationship."
They communicated in a very low voice. Lu Wenxing could hear his own name from a distance, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. Anyway, no one came to disturb them.
"Why don't you see Xiao Ning?"
"Maybe with classmates." Gu Yanshen took Lu Wenxing to the third floor, "My dad also sent an invitation letter to the Wen family, but I don't know who will come from your family."
Lu Wenxing thought for a moment and said, "There is a new product development recently, the company should be very busy, my brother will definitely not attend, maybe he asked someone else in the company to come."
After visiting the third floor, Gu Yanshen took Lu Wenxing to the lounge on the fourth floor. They met two young girls who wanted to go to the fifth floor together, but were stopped by the staff.
"Ladies, I'm sorry, the fifth floor is not open."
The two girls nodded and turned to leave. Lu Wenxing was also a little curious, "Why is the fifth floor not open?"
"The fifth and fourth floors are all rooms. They are not open because they are not needed. I had some food sent up. You didn't eat much tonight, so let's go back to the room and eat."
"Okay, any cake?"
"have."
Lu Wenxing was happy because there was a small cake to eat.
Gu Yanshen seemed particularly easy to talk to today, except that he refused to tell him why he had the suit custom-made.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Gu Ansheng asked Gu Yanshen to go to the first floor. Although Gu Yanshen did not intend to take over the company, Gu Ansheng still planned to introduce both sons to everyone.
"Come on over here, I'll eat something."
Gu Yanshen nodded, "Eat less cake and don't drink too much."
"I know." Lu Wenxing waved his hand.
The first floor was originally an open bar, and Gu Ansheng directly set it as the main venue. Most of the people present were holding glasses and exchanging politeness with each other, and some business veterans had already started the business negotiation stage.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the Gu Group's dinner."
Gu Ansheng stood on the round stage and looked at the guests present.
"Everyone should know about the press conference a few days ago." Gu Ansheng waved to Gu Yanning who was standing on the side.
"I plan to let my son Gu Yanning take over the Gu Group. Starting next week, I will help him get familiar with the company's affairs and try to delegate power to let him make his own decisions."
…
"Gu Group still looks forward to the opportunity to cooperate with everyone. Of course, some of you are already old partners, and we hope to continue to cooperate in the future. Thank you for your attention to Gu Group!"
After Gu Ansheng finished speaking, a small meeting started below the stage, and those who were nearby were whispering to each other.
"So that's Mr. Gu's youngest son. He hasn't graduated from college yet, right?"
"My child only knows how to play. During the winter and summer vacations, he goes out to play with his friends and never stays home for a single day."
"Who isn't?"
"Xiao Ning has changed a lot. I remember seeing him once a few years ago. He was acting like a spoiled brat and throwing tantrums then. But after entering college, he has become much more stable."
"I learned about this a few days ago. I'm now more curious about who Mr. Gu's eldest son is. If they announce it in the middle of the day, won't the two brothers fight?"
"I heard that it's his ex-wife's child. Mr. Gu is almost 60 years old, and his eldest son should be quite old. It turns out that Gu Ansheng has been reluctant to let his eldest son join the company in order to leave the succession to his youngest son."
"My eldest son is also here today. He never liked to attend such events before, but today I am here to introduce him to everyone."
These words successfully attracted the attention of the people off the field. After all, no one had ever seen Gu Ansheng's eldest son, and the outside world was also very curious.
Paparazzi had previously secretly photographed the Gu family's villa, but they only photographed the current wife and youngest son. The eldest son was particularly mysterious and had never been seen. Some people also speculated that the eldest son did not live with the Gu family at all because he was the child of his ex-wife.
Gu Yanshen straightened his collar and walked up the steps from the backcourt.
"This is my eldest son, Gu Yanshen."
When Gu Yanshen and Gu Ansheng stood side by side, everyone present's eyes were on the two of them, and some were so surprised that they didn't realize they had opened their mouths.
"What? Gu Yanshen is Gu Ansheng's eldest son?"
"I never thought it would be like this."
"Gu Yanshen, Gu Yanning, these names sound like brothers! I should have thought of them when I saw Gu Yanshen just now."
"I thought there would be a battle for the position of heir to a wealthy family. But with Gu Yanshen's status in the entertainment industry, there is no need to fight for the position of heir to a wealthy family. He himself is a wealthy family."
"Gu Yanshen is usually very busy filming, and he attends various events in his own name, without bringing the Gu family with him. No wonder no one knows."
Before the people present could recover from their shock, Gu Yanshen and Gu Yanning had already walked off the stage together.
"Don't disturb everyone's enjoyment. I wish you all a happy time on the cruise."
Once Gu Yanshen's background was made public, he was stared at wherever he went. However, Gu Yanshen, who was used to being stared at, didn't care. He was looking for Lu Wenxing.
…
"How many pieces have you eaten?"
Lu Wenxing paused while holding the small fork, "Third."
Gu Yanshen handed him a glass of lemonade and said, "Drink some to relieve your greasy feeling."
In fact, Lu Wenxing didn’t feel sick of it, but he still took it and took a few sips, “I want to go outside to see the night view.”
The view of the entire city C from the sea must be beautiful.
"Okay." Gu Yanshen was planning to take him out, and he looked up at the time. "It's almost time."
"What?"
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Gu Yanshen took Lu Wenxing to the fourth floor, and the two stood at the stairs leading to the fifth floor.
“Isn’t it closed?”
The staff smiled at Lu Wenxing and stepped aside to make way. Gu Yanshen led Lu Wenxing upstairs.
The lights on the fifth floor were on, but no one was there.
"No one's disturbing here."
The fifth floor had a very broad view. Lu Wenxing looked up and saw that City C was getting farther and farther away from them. It was covered in neon lights.
The tallest buildings in City C are two commercial buildings, which are also the revolving restaurants that Lu Wenxing and Gu Yanshen often go to. From a distance, you can feel the bustle and prosperity of City C.
The sea breeze blowing in their faces was salty and moist. Standing at the railing, the two could still see the lively scene on the corridor downstairs.
- With a bang.
Suddenly a firework exploded in the sky.
Fireworks are not allowed in City C, so the place to set off fireworks should be in City B, which is close to the sea.
The sound of the fireworks just now was like a preview. After a pause of a few seconds, several fireworks exploded in the air at the same time. The colorful fireworks set off the bright cruise ship in glory.
The two of them were standing on the top floor, and they could clearly hear the discussions of the people downstairs.
"I didn't expect to see fireworks on the boat. It reminded me of when I was a kid, I haven't seen fireworks for a long time since I moved to City C."
"Yeah, where did the fireworks come from?"
"Looking at the direction, it should be the town of City B across the street. They might be celebrating something."
I thought it was just a short fireworks celebration, but a few seconds later, double the number of fireworks bloomed again.
Perhaps to suit the occasion, gentle and healing music was played on the cruise ship.
The fireworks bloomed, and they were no longer ordinary fireworks. They turned into many heart-shaped fireworks, and each heart had seven layers.
Each layer has a different color. The smallest layer is silver-white, and it gradually expands outward to yellow, blue, pink, and orange.
"Wow!"
"What a nice view."
Some girls were already surprised by the grand fireworks display.
Then, the heart-shaped fireworks ended, and one after another large planets appeared.
It was like a replica of the planets in the universe, a blue planet, a pink planetary ring. Circle after circle, as if it would never end, the whole sky was lit up by fireworks.
In a trance, I felt like I was in the universe, feeling the vastness of the starry sky.
Colorful fireworks were reflected in Lu Wenxing's eyes. He pulled Gu Yanshen's sleeve, feeling somewhat happy.
"There were no fireworks during the Spring Festival in City C, but I see them now."
Fireworks are magnificent, but the moment they bloom is brilliant and gorgeous.
"There's not such a grand fireworks show during the Spring Festival in City B, with hearts and stars. Maybe a boy is confessing his love to a girl."
The more Lu Wenxing thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He looked up at the fireworks in the sky again and saw that they were covered with fan bubbles.
He asked Gu Yanshen curiously, "How much will this cost?"
"About three million."
Lu Wenxing had no idea what was going on. After listening to Gu Yanshen’s words, he just felt it was such a grand event and sighed.
"I hope that boy can succeed in his confession." Lu Wenxing nudged Gu Yanshen's shoulder with his elbow. "Although we don't know each other, we also enjoyed the fireworks banquet. Why don't you say something to wish him well?"
Gu Yanshen didn't say anything, but laughed softly into Lu Wenxing's ear.
Lu Wenxing rubbed his hot ears, but before he could say anything, the asteroid's fireworks ended and a subtitle about fireworks blooming appeared.
--I like you.
- I want to be with you forever.
Lu Wenxing didn't expect this to happen, and was stunned.
He was brought back to his senses by the screams of several girls downstairs, his tone filled with surprise and a little disappointment.
“I forgot to record a picture.”
"Such beautiful fireworks can heal you when you are in a bad mood."
"Why don't you speak?"
After Lu Wenxing finished speaking, the person behind him did not respond. He looked at Gu Yanshen in confusion, "Don't you have any feelings about such a grand fireworks banquet?"
Gu Yanshen raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Yes."
Without waiting for Lu Wenxing to react, Gu Yanshen suddenly knelt on one knee and took out a ring.
"Xingxing, I like you."
"It's the kind of love that makes me want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Will you marry me?"
The ring sparkled brightly in the afterglow of the fireworks. It took Lu Wenxing a while to come back to his senses. He was just blessing the person who had confessed his love, but it turned out that the person who was confessed to was himself.
Fireworks sounded and subtitles appeared in the sky again.
- I want to be with you forever.
"I will keep my promise and love only you."
At the end, the subtitles of fireworks blooming and Gu Yanshen’s words merged together.
- Good only to you.
"Only for you."
Lu Wenxing, who had always been able to control the situation, suddenly didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Actually, I..."
Gu Yanshen never thought that he would succeed in one try. Although he didn't know what Lu Wenxing was worried about, if the target was Lu Wenxing, he was willing to spend more time waiting for an answer, even if not now.
"good."
The words that Gu Yanshen was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he looked at Lu Wenxing in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"Then let's get married." Lu Wenxing stretched out his hand, waiting for Gu Yanshen to put the engagement ring on his finger.
Gu Yanshen was proposing, but he also wanted to express his true feelings to Lu Wenxing. Although he had said some of these things many times in bed, he still wanted to tell Lu Wenxing solemnly.
He really likes Lu Wenxing.
For Lu Wenxing, the fireworks feast was a surprise, but for Gu Yanshen, Lu Wenxing’s agreement... was his biggest surprise tonight.
He held Lu Wenxing's hand and put the ring on him.
"You can't take back what you've said."
Lu Wenxing pulled Gu Yanshen up and asked him.
"Are you trying to compete with my uncle?"
Gu Yanshen was stunned, "No, why do you say that?"
“I received a call from my uncle the other day.”
"What did he say to you?"
"Ask me if I'm serious or just kidding."
Gu Yanshen also guessed that it would be something like this, "Don't take it to heart, my dad just doesn't know how to talk. I have never doubted your love for me."
"He also said that I don't like you that much, so I don't dare to marry you." Lu Wenxing thought it was a little funny, "Uncle is almost sixty years old, how can he still think that provocation works?"
Gu Yanshen held Lu Wenxing's hand tightly, "You didn't agree to me because of what he said, did you?"
"Of course not." Lu Wenxing poked Gu Yanshen's forehead with his fingertips, "Who can force me to do something I don't want to do?"
Gu Yanshen breathed a sigh of relief. He certainly hoped that Lu Wenxing would agree to his proposal. But he hoped that Lu Wenxing would agree only after thinking it over and preparing for it, rather than just because of someone's words.
"You should answer me." Lu Wenxing leaned in Gu Yanshen's arms, "Are you proposing to me because you are competing with your father?"
Gu Yanshen explained seriously, "No, I don't want to compete with you."
Lu Wenxing nodded and asked again.
"Then why did you choose tonight's dinner?"
"Today is our anniversary together."
Lu Wenxing was stunned. He really had forgotten.
"So, that custom suit you had..."
"Yes." Gu Yanshen pinched his earlobe, "You said you liked me, but you didn't even remember our anniversary."
"I was wrong." Lu Wenxing raised his hands and hugged Gu Yanshen, admitting his mistake in a very good manner. He raised his head and lightly pecked Gu Yanshen's lips.
"I'll definitely remember that next time."
Gu Yanshen held his cheek and kissed him deeply.
"The original plan was to take you to the island."
Gu Yanshen refused once when he received Gu Ansheng's banquet notice because the dates conflicted.
Later, considering the Gu family and Gu Yanning, he had no choice but to attend, but he didn't want to miss the anniversary with Lu Wenxing.
Finally, we thought of renting a cruise ship, and the fireworks were customized long ago.
He still remembered that on New Year's Eve, Lu Wenxing said to him with a little regret, "Fireworks are not allowed in City C. When I was a child in City B, Xiao Ning and I would sit on the rooftop, wrapped in blankets, and watch the fireworks every New Year's Eve."
Thinking of how Lu Wenxing was still upset about not seeing the fireworks, Gu Yanshen wanted to create a fireworks feast for him.
"My dad originally booked a hotel, and it's your Wen family's hotel."
"So when you persuaded your uncle to change the venue of the party to the cruise ship, didn't he say anything?"
"Yes, he asked me why."
Gu Yanshen was speaking the truth.
It was also because of Gu Yanshen’s words that Lu Wenxing received a call from Gu Ansheng.
Lu Wenxing still remembers what Gu Ansheng said.
"I've never seen Yan Shen interested in anything other than filming, and I've never thought he would seriously fall in love with someone."
"I can see that he really likes you."
"He emphasized to me more than once that I was not allowed to discredit your feelings for him."
"He likes you and trusts you."
Lu Wenxing knew all this without Gu Ansheng saying it. He was not against getting married with Gu Yanshen, he just simply didn't want to get married so early.
But if Gu Yan thought about it deeply, he seemed willing to do so.
"In my uncle's eyes, I look like an emotional cheater." Lu Wenxing was amused and helpless, "Do I look so irresponsible?"
Knowing that Lu Wenxing was joking, Gu Yanshen also curled his eyes and said, "If you are an emotional liar, then you have to lie to me for the rest of my life."
Lu Wenxing was shocked. "Is there anyone like you who would willingly be deceived?"
"If the target is you, what's wrong with being the one who takes the initiative?" Gu Yanshen disagreed.
Lu Wenxing held Gu Yanshen's face, and Gu Yanshen's figure was reflected in her light-colored eyes.
"Gu Shenshen, you are really getting better and better at talking."
Lu Wenxing rewarded Gu Yanshen with a kiss.
"If I reject you, will you be angry?"
Gu Yanshen immediately became alert, "Do you want to regret it?"
"No, I'm assuming."
Lu Wenxing originally just asked casually, but Gu Yanshen’s reaction made him feel amused, so he couldn’t help but be curious and wanted to delve deeper into this issue.
"What would you do if I rejected your proposal?"
Gu Yanshen lowered his eyes and looked at him, his eyes full of seriousness. He didn't seem to be answering a hypothetical question, but rather seemed to have thought about it seriously.
"Then keep working on it."
"Until you agree."
