At the banquet that day, because of her unusually intimate behavior with Yan Jingzhou, I was so angry that I didn't even notice how beautiful she was!
That's right, Su Yang attended the birthday banquet on behalf of the Su family that day.
She's so beautiful, so beautiful that even she had to admit it!
The beauty that permeates her very being is also intertwined with the elegance that is ingrained in her very being; her refined and otherworldly demeanor is a natural gift!
Her long hair was casually draped behind her, and although she was sitting upright, she inexplicably gave off a lazy and comfortable feeling.
But none of this could compare to the awe-inspiring power of her bright, beautiful eyes. They shimmered with a gentle light, and at a glance, they seemed to be filled with an endless sea of stars, captivating all who looked upon them.
Gong Ning wore a faint smile, and she naturally felt the gaze directed at her.
He scoffed inwardly, thinking, "She's never seen anything like this!"
How could someone so ordinary-looking as me be so mesmerized?
Her gaze shifted slightly as she spoke slowly, her voice cool and clear: "Miss Su, you're staring at me so intently, could it be that you've taken a liking to me?"
Su Yang snapped back to reality, inwardly marveling at the beauty of those eyes. Upon hearing this, he quickly averted his gaze, saying, "Miss Gong is joking!"
Gong Ning stroked the dark blue jade bracelet on her wrist, her voice calm, "Miss Su, is there something you need today?"
Su Yang curled his lips into a smile. "Forgive my impertinence, but I actually came to see Jingzhou today. Unfortunately, he's not here, so I can only trouble Miss Gong!"
"There's no trouble at all. Ah Zhou is my fiancé, so his business is my business. Miss Su, please feel free to speak!"
Gong Ning picked up her teacup and took a sip, her voice calm and natural, befitting the tolerant and gentle nature of a hostess.
Su Yang's fingers tightened slightly, but his smile remained gentle. "Then I must congratulate Miss Gong in advance! When is the wedding scheduled? I'll definitely prepare a gift as a token of my gratitude for today!"
Gong Ning smiled calmly, "A-Zhou said that only members of the Yan clan can attend the wedding, so Miss Su and the Su family behind her probably won't have that opportunity..."
Gong Ning's words contained a lot of information, and coupled with her flat tone, Su Yang was speechless for a moment and his face turned pale.
In an instant, Su Yang clenched his hands, a smile returning to his lips, and said in a warm and gentle tone, "Then I was overthinking it. I'm truly sorry."
"Miss Su, please don't take it to heart. I never fuss over such trivial matters!"
Su Yang choked, then chuckled twice, and changed the subject as if trying to avoid the issue: "I came here today mainly to give Jingzhou a gift. In a few days, he will officially take over as the chief of the Yan clan. I was worried that he might be very busy that day, so I brought the gift over today to avoid causing him any trouble."
After a pause, Su Yang's smile became even more natural and gentle, as if he had regained his home turf. "As his college classmate and longtime friend, I have mixed feelings about how he has come this far. I feel both sorry for him and happy for him!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ning narrowed her eyes imperceptibly, while the little voice inside her bared its teeth fiercely.
What business is it of yours what that ill-intentioned woman is? Feeling sorry for her is just... well, let's just say it's none of your concern.
Pretentious.
Gong Ning suppressed the urge to swear and took a deep breath. She couldn't swear, she couldn't swear, she couldn't lose face!
For a few moments, Gong Ning remained silent.
Su Yang's smile grew even more gentle and graceful, her demeanor impeccable. "Miss Gong, what's wrong? Don't you know about this? Oh dear, I was so impetuous! I'm so sorry!"
