Chapter 137 The Banquet



After throwing her dirty clothes into the washing machine, Luo Shimiao sat down at the vanity table and started fussing over her face.

There was no dressing table in the room originally, but an extra dressing table appeared in the room the day after Luo Shimiao stayed overnight.

Not long after Luo Shimiao finished her makeup, Chen Jiawen brought over the dress.

"You have good taste, I like it." Luo Shimiao said, looking at the simple yet elegant black dress in her hand.

Chen Jiawen's lips curled into a smile: "I'm quite knowledgeable about fashion, and I never make a mistake when it comes to choosing dresses. Ms. Shi Miao, if you ever don't know what to wear on the red carpet in the future, you can come to me for advice."

"Aren't you going down? Do you want to watch us change clothes?" A cold male voice came from the side.

"Yes, boss." Chen Jiawen froze, then slunk back to the car with his tail between his legs to wait for them.

The boss is so fierce, I need to run!

Gu Nian: "Miao Miao, don't ask him to help you choose a dress. I have good taste and can help you pick one out."

Luo Shimiao glanced at the man. How could he be jealous of this?

"Okay, okay, you help me choose. Hurry up and change your clothes, or we'll be late." Luo Shimiao pushed the man into the bedroom.

Luo Shimiao carried the dress to the restroom.

After changing, Luo Shimiao lifted her skirt and went to the dressing room: "How is it? Does it look good?"

A black strapless dress hugged Luo Shimiao's beautiful figure, her smooth hair cascading naturally over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup.

Playful yet sexy.

The man's gaze swept over Luo Shimiao's chest, and he regretted it a little: "It looks very good."

Gu Nian stepped forward and lifted her skirt up: "Will it fall down? Should we change into one with straps?"

"It won't fall off, it's very stable. The skirt is very well designed. As long as you're not looking down from above, it won't expose you from the front or the side, so you can rest assured," Luo Shimiao said, looking down at her chest.

Seeing the black tie in Gu Nian's hand, Luo Shimiao had an idea and pulled the tie over: "I'll tie it for you."

Gu Nian lowered his eyes and asked, "Can you?"

“Teach me, and I’ll learn,” Luo Shimiao said frankly.

Gu Nian's lips curled upwards as he took the tie from her hand, hung it around her neck, and pulled it slightly, bringing their bodies almost touching.

"You can't see clearly from this close up, can you?" Luo Shimiao's gaze was fixed on the man's sexy Adam's apple.

Gu Nian lifted her chin and said slowly, "Let's collect some tuition fees first." Then he pressed his thin lips down.

Luo Shimiao covered her mouth and leaned back, saying, "I did a really good job with my lip makeup tonight. You'll ruin it if you kiss me." She then brought her right cheek closer, adding, "You can kiss my cheek."

“........”

Gu Nian took a step back, creating some distance, and demonstrated to Luo Shimiao how to tie a tie.

Luo Shimiao learned it after watching it once, and stood in front of the man, carefully tying her tie.

"I truly deserve to be called a 'hexagonal female warrior.' I managed to tie a tie so well even on my first try. But then again, it's all thanks to President Gu's excellent teaching." After praising herself, Luo Shimiao didn't forget to praise Gu Nian as well.

Gu Nian looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Luo Shimiao walked to the shoe cabinet, chose a pair of high heels in the same color, put them on, and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Have someone send some jewelry over tomorrow," Gu Nian said, looking at Luo Shimiao's bare neck.

"No, I haven't worn any of the ones I bought in Hushi last time." Luo Shimiao looked at Gu Nian's wrist. He always wore the bracelet she gave him: "Except when you're showering or sleeping, I've never seen you take this necklace off. Do you like it that much?"

Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, I like it very much."

Luo Shimiao smiled. It felt so good to have the gift appreciated. She took Gu Nian's arm and walked out of the dressing room. Seeing Xiao Lü standing in the corner, she said to it, "Come with me if you want to."

Little Green was delighted to hear this, raised its head, and ran over excitedly.

"Don't even think about stepping on my shoulder with your filthy claws." Luo Shimiao saw Xiao Lü grabbing her skirt, trying to climb up. Normally she could stand on it, but now her shoulder was exposed, and its claws were sharp. She needed to get its nails trimmed sometime.

Little Green looked up at her with a confused expression. It didn't want to stand on the shoulders of the super handsome guy. Although the view was better and the air was clearer up there, it was tiring to climb up.

Luo Shimiao bent down, scooped it up, and held it in his palm.

Little Green: ".............." It might as well climb the "giant peak" next door.

The two went downstairs and got into the black minivan parked in front of the door.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Jiawen parked his car in front of a five-star hotel in Kyoto.

The hotel staff at the entrance were about to step forward to help open the car door when the people inside had already gotten out.

Luo Shimiao had already put on a mask.

Chen Jiawen handed the car keys to the parking attendant and followed behind the two with the invitation in hand.

After entering the elevator, Chen Jiawen pressed the floor button.

A "ding" sound.

The floor indicator shows the third floor.

The three of them exited the elevator and followed the signs.

At the entrance to the banquet hall, staff members were checking invitations to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

Chen Jiawen handed the invitation to one of the staff members.

The staff member didn't look at him, but smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, please come in."

Gu Nian nodded slightly and led Luo Shimiao toward the entrance.

After they walked away, the staff outside started talking about it.

"President Gu didn't come last year, and I thought he wouldn't come this year either. I didn't expect him to not only come, but also bring a female companion."

"The business elites inside would definitely be shocked when they see this."

"That's right. I heard that many people used to try to send beautiful women to President Gu, but they were all rejected without hesitation. Later, those who wanted to curry favor with President Gu thought that he didn't like women, so they sent men instead. President Gu 'punished' them before they stopped."

The dinner has begun.

As soon as Gu Nian appeared, he attracted a lot of attention, and quite a few people walked towards them with wine glasses in hand.

"I'm going to eat." Luo Shimiao didn't want to be stared at like a monkey, so she reached into the man's pocket, grabbed his phone, and slipped away.

Gu Nian gave Chen Jiawen a wink, and Chen Jiawen nodded and followed.

Inside the venue, men were dressed in suits and ties, while women wore elegant skirt suits.

Luo Shimiao took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. The banquet hall was very large and even had an indoor fountain.

"Why did you follow me?" Luo Shimiao asked when she saw Chen Jiawen catch up.

Chen Jiawen smiled and said honestly, "The boss was worried about you, so he sent me along."

“I’m not a three-year-old, what’s there to worry about?” Luo Shimiao placed the wine glass on a small square table, adjusted her skirt, and sat down on the single sofa. “Since you’ve come along, could you get me some food? It’s inconvenient for me to have Xiao Lü with me.”

Little Green opened its mouth and said, "I'm hungry, so I want to eat too."

Luo Shimiao: "Do you have any nuts or other nuts? Get some for it."

"Okay." Chen Jiawen turned and walked towards the food area.
