Fu Hange was somewhat dazed by these words. Gu Yuan spoke so naturally when he said sweet nothings that she almost actually believed him. If real couples said these things, it would be incredibly sweet, but they were different; they were fake.
As the car sped along, Fu Hange kept stealing glances at Gu Yuan's profile. His handsome face was flawless, enough to fascinate countless women. But unfortunately, she was also captivated by him, infatuated with everything about him, yet unable to have him.
Even after arriving at their destination, Fu Hange was still staring at Gu Yuan in a daze. Gu Yuan awkwardly nudged her, but Fu Hange didn't react. It was the secretary in front who said, "It seems that Miss Xu really likes you, Mr. Gu."
Fu Hange suddenly snapped out of her daze. She gave an awkward smile and continued to walk into the restaurant arm in arm with Gu Yuan. She didn't know what she was thinking the whole way; it was all about Gu Yuan. In this short day, her mind was filled with nothing but Gu Yuan.
Tang Qiang had been waiting inside for a long time, and he had also brought his business partners, all of whom were overseas Chinese, so there were no communication barriers.
Fu Hange sat next to Gu Yuan, next to a man she didn't recognize. To Gu Yuan's right was Tang Qiang, convenient for discussing business.
"Come on, Mr. Gu, let me toast you." Tang Qiang raised his glass.
Fu Hange noticed that even Gu Yuanlian looked so handsome while drinking, and his conversation in front of these people was completely at ease. But the more he acted this way, the more she could sense the distance between them.
Fu Hange's glass was also filled with alcohol, and it was quite strong. Like everyone else present, they didn't seem to care that she was a woman. Gu Yuan's glass was also full. Seeing Tang Qiang and his business partners constantly toasting Gu Yuan, Fu Hange felt a little sorry for him.
The liquor was so strong that even a tiny sip made her throat burn, let alone the cups Gu Yuan downed. The feeling was indescribably unpleasant.
Fu Hange frowned, then whispered in Gu Yuan's ear, "Don't drink anymore."
Gu Yuan smiled vaguely and said, "I'm happy that President Tang is here today."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiang immediately burst into laughter. It was clear they were both a little drunk, with Tang Qiang seemingly more so. Fu Hange didn't know Gu Yuan's alcohol tolerance; he seemed fine now, but continuing to drink would definitely be too much for him.
Just as she was in a state of utter confusion, the man next to Fu Hange raised his glass to her, his voice thick with the smell of alcohol: "Miss Xu, I'd like to toast you."
The lewd voice lingered in her ears, and the man even let out a burp at Fu Hange. Fu Hange, disgusted by the smell, quickly turned her face away. The man seemed to be enraged by her action and roared, "I politely toasted you, but you didn't drink? That's so disrespectful!"
Fu Hange knew he was drunk and didn't want to argue with him. Thinking that it would be bad if Gu Yuan's matter was involved, she mustered up her courage, raised her glass, touched the man's glass to hers, and then poured it into her own mouth.
Feeling as if her internal organs were on fire, Fu Hange clutched her chest and coughed incessantly. Bloodshot streaks appeared in her eyes. But the coughing seemed to get worse; her throat felt like it was on fire, and she dared not even speak. Her stomach also burned, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan patted Fu Hange on the back and said to Tang Qiang, "She can't drink, so let's not make things difficult for her. We're happy today, so come on, let's drink."
