At night, the Tang family's private manor was brightly lit and full of colorful lights. Various celebrities gathered together, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.
Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan moved through the crowd with ease. Her pale green Chinese-style dress made her look even more charming and charming.
Everyone looked at this energetic figure from time to time, with envy in their eyes.
The women envied her distinguished family background and the impeccable man standing beside her. The two families were a perfect match, a powerful alliance, and it was difficult to find fault with any of their points.
How can one not be envious!
She had the status of a wealthy daughter, the power of a company that other socialites didn't have, she also had four gentle brothers, and a husband who was one in a million and deeply affectionate to her. Even if she hadn't grown up in the Gu family, with her current glory, who would care about her past life?
Now, she is working with the internationally renowned Professor Alice. I heard that the professor appreciates her very much.
In the future, Kyoto will probably be ruled by the Tang family and the Gu family.
As everyone was sighing with emotion, the lights at the reception dimmed, and the spotlights fell on the steps of the spiral staircase. The host's excited voice rang out, and tonight's main character appeared.
Under the spotlight, Alice was wearing a modified version of the black cheongsam with dark patterns. She looked dignified and solemn, yet majestic. Her fair skin was enough to make all women envious. She raised her eyes slightly, like a black swan that had just awakened, looking down at the land beneath her feet.
For a moment, the guests were amazed and all were impressed by Professor Alice's beauty.
In the crowd, Lu Anning caught a glimpse of Gu Zhiwei holding a wine glass, his eyes full of amazement. He didn't look away for a long time and smiled with his lips curled.
Her father has been particularly concerned about his reputation in recent years and is said to have the reputation of being "not interested in women". Judging from his reaction today, could it be that he was also moved by the professor's appearance?
However, to be honest, if it were Ji Yan, she would not even be qualified to be compared with the professor.
I wonder how she would feel if she saw her husband looking at another woman with such eyes.
At the side, Tang Jingyuan also noticed Gu Zhiwei's reaction. As a man, he knew very well what that aggressive and possessive look meant.
But after meeting him twice, his father-in-law wouldn't have any ideas about the professor!
The two did not listen carefully to what was said on the stage. Alice only said a few simple words. Then, Alice took the lead in choosing a dance partner to complete the opening dance of today's cocktail party.
The lights flickered in the crowd, and no one knew who would be Alice's dance partner tonight.
I heard that she is still single, which is a great opportunity for the single men who show up here tonight.
Many people became nervous. If they could take this opportunity to get closer to the professor, it would be of great help to their company's future business.
Seeing that Alice was still hesitant to make a decision, a figure suddenly walked out from the crowd.
Gu Zhiwei smiled confidently, his eyes never leaving the professor's body. The woman before him had completely awakened memories that had been dormant for years deep within him, and he desperately wanted to get closer, to confirm something.
"I, Gu, would like to recommend myself. I wonder if I would have the honor to dance with the professor?"
He was very graceful, and his every move showed that he was a gentleman. Even the tone of his voice was much softer.
As the head of the Gu family, and having collaborated with the professor on a new project, you stepped forward at this time, and everyone thought that this was a result that had been agreed upon in advance.
After all, considering his status and age, it is reasonable and logical for Gu Zhiwei to be the professor's dance partner.
Furthermore, Gu Zhiwei came to the banquet alone tonight, and his wife was nowhere to be seen. Thinking of this, everyone was even more certain that this was arranged in advance.
The professor and the others hadn't met much, so who would be so shameless as to ask him to dance? If he was rejected, how embarrassing it would be!
Lu Anning hadn't expected her father to be so proactive. If she hadn't known about the arrangement in advance, she would have thought it was arranged by the professor.
She smiled and shook the wine glass in her hand, looking forward to how the professor would answer.
On the stage, Alice looked at Gu Zhiwei who took the initiative with a smile on her face, but her heart was cold.
After all these years, he hasn't changed at all.
The professor walked down the stage with a smile, and walked towards Gu Zhiwei step by step. Her high heels made crisp sounds on the ground, and every step touched the hearts of the guests.
Is this an agreement?
It was indeed arranged in advance. Otherwise, if we just find someone we don’t know and we don’t dance in sync, it would be embarrassing.
After a few steps, Alice stopped and her red lips moved slightly.
"Mr. Gu, you are so brave! It seems that you are very confident in your dancing skills."
"It's only fitting that you and I dance this opening dance together. As for my dancing skills, I believe the professor will know in a moment."
Alice's smile deepened. "I heard that Mr. Gu and your wife are very affectionate. Aren't you afraid of upsetting Mrs. Gu by dancing with me in public?"
Gu Zhiwei smiled easily, "My wife is gentle and sensible. We've been married for decades, so naturally she wouldn't be as inconsiderate as a young girl who knows nothing about the world. Professor, please!"
Gu Zhiwei made the 'please' gesture again. Alice looked at him and slowly extended her hand towards him.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened and a cold voice came from outside.
"What are you doing?"
