Chapter 128: Be proactive in matters of the heart and don’t be so reserved.
Jiang Xinghe was in high spirits. He took Qin Shiwei through the crowd and introduced the screenwriters and directors present to her one by one. The directors also held wine glasses and toasted and greeted the two of them along the way.
On the other side, Gu Xiangsi and Nan Yu stood by the small dining table, eating delicate snacks slowly in their hands.
"Why don't you go and get to know them?" Nanyu asked. Gu Xiangsi shook her head: "I can't stand this kind of scene."
She quipped in return, "What about you?"
"I'm not interested in that."
Nan Yu smiled and raised her chin in a certain direction, "But your Mr. Fu never took his eyes off you."
Gu Xiangsi looked up following her gaze and saw Fu Sinian. He was surrounded by a group of people talking, but even though he was surrounded by people, his eyes would drift towards her from time to time, and he couldn't hide them at all.
After a while, a director noticed Nanyu and thought she was very suitable for development in the film and television industry and wanted to invite her to try.
Nan Yu was so caught up in the director's enthusiasm that she couldn't get away. She caught a glimpse of Qin Shiwei and said to Gu Xiangsi, "I'll go help Qin Shiwei."
Gu Xiangsi smiled and nodded.
When she was left alone, her eyes fell on Fu Sinian.
No matter where he goes, there are always a lot of people around him, and he is the focus of the audience.
As he was watching, he saw Fu Sinian talking to the people around him for a few words, and then walked towards Fu Jia.
The two of them talked in low voices for a few words, and then walked towards the balcony next to them.
Seeing this, she looked away.
On the other side, Fu Jia stood on the balcony of the Peninsula Hotel and looked out.
Looking out from here, you can see the scattered city night scenes downstairs, with neon lights spreading along the streets.
Occasionally a cruise ship would pass by slowly, leaving behind a tiny trail of water.
Fu Sinian took out a crocodile-patterned leather cigarette case from his pocket. The edge of the case was inlaid with a circle of cold, shimmering silver metal.
He opened the lid of the box and found several long cigarettes neatly stacked inside. The cigarettes were printed with a barely visible faint logo. It was obvious at a glance that they were not the type of cigarettes you could easily buy on the market.
He took out a cigarette and handed it to Fu Jia. As soon as his fingertips retracted the cigarette box, before the other party stopped taking the cigarette, he asked lightly: "Brother, are you in love?"
Fu Jia's movement of bending down to catch the fireworks suddenly stopped, and his hand reaching out to take Fu Sinian's lighter also froze in mid-air.
He looked up at Fu Sinian and asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
"Is this considered love?"
"There's love in your eyes, and even your demeanor has a woman's shadow."
Fu Sinian withdrew his hand holding the lighter, tapped the edge of the cigarette box with his fingertips, and changed the subject.
"But brother, I have to say, this road you're on may not be easy."
Fu Jia glanced at him and touched his lower lip with his knuckles.
"Tell me, why is it so difficult to leave?"
"Looking at your old-fashioned look, I know you've never had a serious relationship."
Fu Sinian raised the corners of his lips, his tone showing a hint of understanding. "Maybe, he took advantage of her and then didn't dare to admit it. Am I right? It's that girl who wrote the novel?"
Fu Jia coughed violently a few times, his eyes darkening: "Are you investigating me?"
"Brother, I was just looking into something that happened five years ago, but I accidentally dug up all your secrets along the way."
Fu Sinian held a cigarette between his fingers and his tone sounded casual.
"So you see, five years ago, as my brother, you cared about me and wanted to find me a marriage that was well-matched. Your idea was not wrong, but those were old rules that were passed down for hundreds of years."
"My feelings are my own business, you shouldn't interfere."
He paused and added, "As for my mother's side, their affairs are theirs."
"Heh." Fu Jia sneered, raised his eyes and stared at him, with a hint of sharpness in his tone.
"What about now? If Mom really rekindles her relationship with that guy, what are you?"
"Brother and sister in name only? Do you think you can still be together like before?"
Fu Sinian raised his eyes, his expression calm: "So you knew it a long time ago."
"With so much going on during this period, plus what's going on with Dad, it's hard for me not to know."
Fu Jia clenched his fingers and suddenly changed the subject, lowering his voice, "Is her belly big? Is she about to give birth?"
"Yes." Fu Sinian answered straightforwardly.
Fu Jia's eyes fell on Fu Sinian's face. Seeing that his expression was sullen and his eyes were full of vigilance, he spoke first, his voice tense and questioning, "Are you planning to do something?"
"It won't be long before she loses the baby."
As soon as Fu Sinian finished speaking, he saw Fu Jia's face suddenly change, so he slowed down his tone and added.
"I won't do anything illegal like murder or arson. Mom and Ali need my protection. I'm not that stupid."
He changed the subject and looked at Fu Jia, looking more like an elder brother than Fu Jia, and patted his shoulder.
"As for you, you should take the initiative in matters of the heart and stop being so reserved."
Finally, his eyes darkened, and his tone was filled with a hint of relief, yet also a hint of unchangeable firmness.
"As for what happened five years ago, brother, I won't forgive you, but I don't blame you either. I hope you'll take care of yourself. From now on, don't try to stop me again."
After saying that, without even looking at Fu Jia's reaction, he turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.
As soon as Fu Sinian walked into the banquet hall, his eyes swept around and quickly fixed on one spot.
When he saw the scene clearly, he immediately regretted that he should not have let Gu Xiangsi wear this skirt.
Too eye-catching.
There were three or four men around her, who took turns approaching her to toast her, their tone full of enthusiasm.
Gu Xiangsi just nodded slightly and didn't talk to them much. His attitude was very cold and distant.
Fu Sinian then curled his lips in satisfaction, took bigger steps, and walked straight over there. He stretched out his hand and firmly held her waist. He raised his eyes to look at the men, and his tone carried a subtle sense of oppression.
"Why, are you interested in the Si Nian Group?"
One of the men was stunned at first, then he reacted and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"So it's the Prince of Gangcheng! Is this your assistant?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, his eyes lit up, but when Fu Sinian's next words entered his ears, the light dimmed instantly.
"It's my assistant."
Fu Sinian's fingertips gently rubbed Gu Xiang's waist, his tone filled with unquestionable possessiveness, "...She's also my girlfriend."
Gu Xiangsi stood aside, feeling a little helpless. It was not an assistant at all, but his overbearing possessiveness that wanted to keep out all the bad peaches surrounding her.
Gu Xiangsi smiled and nodded at those people.
"The Si Nian Group is at the top of the industry in terms of both financial resources and strength. If you are truly interested in cooperation, you can discuss this with President Fu later."
Those people could only pick up their wine glasses in disappointment and come over to clink their glasses with Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, then reached out and took the untouched red wine in Gu Xiangsi's hand, drank it all, and explained lightly.
"She can't drink much, so I'll drink this glass with you guys on her behalf."
