Dinner countdown...
Gu Mu and Gu En held Gu Qingqing's hand, and the three of them slowly went downstairs.
Hearing the sound, Gu Jin looked up and saw Gu Qingqing slowly walking down from the second floor.
She was like a princess, a beautiful princess living in a castle palace, noble and elegant.
"My princess." Gu Jin walked to the top of the stairs to greet Gu Qingqing as she came down.
"Big brother." She saw the doting affection in his gentle eyes, which almost drowned her in tenderness.
He raised his left hand, and she placed her small hand in his palm, letting him lead her away.
Gu Mu and Gu En stood on the other side of her, silently protecting her.
The four of them walked out of the Gu residence and got into the Lincoln luxury car that had been waiting for them.
...
Fu Residence
"Are you ready?" Fu Jue, sitting on the single sofa, kept raising his left hand to look at his expensive watch, and couldn't help but ask Assistant Yin for the nineteenth time.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, everything is arranged. We are just waiting for the Gu family to arrive." Assistant Yin almost rolled his eyes. He had said this countless times and was sick of it.
He hadn't expected Fu Jue to care so much about tonight's banquet, having been preparing since morning, with everything being of the best and most expensive quality.
Fu Jue, who never goes into the kitchen, surprisingly went in five times today, and even asked the head chef about the food list and ingredients several times.
Everyone in the kitchen was terrified, afraid of doing something wrong and angering him.
Even the servants in other departments were greeted by Fu Jue several times, from the band playing at the banquet to the cleanliness of the Fu residence.
Even all thirty-nine servants in the Fu residence were on high alert, preparing for the banquet without daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"How much longer until they arrive?" Fu Jue couldn't help but ask again, not feeling at all that he was acting strangely.
He wanted to see Gu Qingqing immediately; he hadn't seen her for three days.
The girl was only fifteen years old at the time, her face still youthful and innocent; in his eyes, she was just a child.
In just three years, she has grown into a beautiful young woman.
A chance encounter in the river three years ago, and another meeting on the road three years later—was it fate that brought them together?
Fu Jue found it quite interesting; after all, who can explain fate?
Although his purpose in returning to China was indeed to find the little girl he had saved and who, in turn, had repaid his kindness with her body.
During these three years, he would think of her from time to time, and there was always a force pulling him back to China.
With Grandpa's 80th birthday approaching, it would be best if he could find someone to date or get married soon, and bring his girlfriend home to meet the old man so they could celebrate his 80th birthday together.
He has always been cold-hearted, and has never met a girl he likes or fallen in love with since childhood.
Only Gu Qingqing, only she could leave an indelible image in his mind.
So his purpose in coming to China this time was to find her, to see her, and perhaps find a solution.
Meeting her on the street that day was like a pebble falling into his calm heart; once the surface rippled, the calm was gone forever.
"Mr. Fu, you've asked at least ten times already." Assistant Yin whispered a sarcastic remark to Fu Jue, and after successfully earning a glare from Fu Jue, he slipped away immediately.
Did he ask that many times?
Fu Jue shook his head, a helpless smile on his face. He couldn't believe he was ever in such a hurry.
He, who has always been indifferent to everything and cold-hearted, actually has things he cares about.
After waiting for ten minutes, the sound of a car finally came from outside.
Fu Jue stood up nervously, straightening his clothes. He was wearing a white shirt and dark blue trousers. Although the style was simple, his cufflinks were high-end custom-made, costing over ten thousand yuan a pair.
The embroidery on the collar is also beautiful and exquisite. The few small blue flowers are so lifelike that even machine embroidery cannot achieve that.
"Mr. Fu, the Gu family has arrived." Assistant Yin rushed over upon receiving the news and prepared to go out with Fu Jue to greet them.
After all, he was the guest who had been invited by him. No matter how noble one's status is, one must go out to greet a few distinguished guests.
"Okay, let's go." Fu Jue stood up, tall and straight like a soldier.
The thought of seeing Gu Qingqing soon filled him with joy, an overwhelming joy that he couldn't contain.
quickened his pace and, just as he stepped out of the Fu residence, Fu Jue saw Gu Qingqing getting out of the car.
"Qingqing..." He had barely uttered a sound when he received sharp glares from Gu Mu and Gu En, filled with deep warning and hostility.
"Mr. Fu." Sensing their hostility towards Fu Jue, Gu Qingqing dared not call him Brother Fu.
Let's not cause him any trouble; Gu Mu and the others are just being overly protective of themselves.
"Mr. Fu." Gu Jin led Gu Qingqing to Fu Jue to greet him, pretending not to see Gu Mu and Gu En's behavior, and also pretending not to see Fu Jue's reaction, since he was willing to do so anyway.
"Mr. Gu, welcome to my home with Miss Gu." Fu Jue extended his right hand to shake hands with Gu Jin, and then with Gu Mu and Gu En.
When it was his turn to greet Gu Qingqing, he gave her a Western-style cheek kiss. This was his habit; after all, he had lived abroad for over twenty years and his habits leaned towards Western styles.
Of course, he only ever gave the cheek kiss to ladies with Gu Qingqing; he never paid any attention to other women.
The physical intimacy with her made him very nervous; his heart raced, pounding so fast it felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.
This was the first time he had been so intimate with her, and he experienced the feeling of his heart pounding.
That's strange.
But it's also...very good.
Upon seeing Fu Jue's behavior, Gu Mu and Gu En's faces instantly darkened. They had both forgotten that he was half European and American and had lived in Western countries for many years, so many of his habits were completely different from those in China.
