Ye Hongyi was waiting to hear how Gu Yanze would react, but unexpectedly, a soft and sweet voice came from the phone.
"Sister Ye, I'm Nuannuan."
Ye Hongyi frowned tightly, glanced at the phone number on the screen, and confirmed it was correct: "Why is it you, where is Gu Yanze?"
Bai Nuannuan looked at the door of the box: "Master Gu went to the bathroom. I will tell him what you just said."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Hongyi looked in the direction where Fu Linchen and Su Yanxi disappeared, with a happy expression on her face.
Bai Nuannuan held the phone thoughtfully. She didn't care what Su Yanxi and Fu Linchen did. She only cared whether Gu Yanze would be with her.
The closer Su Yanxi gets to other men, the better it would be if she falls in love with other men, so that he won't compete with her for Gu Yanze.
While thinking, Bai Nuannuan saw Chen Hebai coming back from the bathroom, and stretched her neck to look behind Chen Hebai: "Brother Hebai, where is Mr. Gu?"
Chen Hebai: "He's standing at the toilet door smoking. His career hasn't been going well lately, and he's like a chain smoker, chain-smoking."
Bai Nuannuan glanced at her phone, a troubled expression on her face: "Brother Hebai, there's something I don't know how to do..."
Chen Hebai: "Yan Ze is not here now, you have nothing to worry about. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Bai Nuannuan: "I just received a call from Miss Ye Hongyi. She said that Su Yanxi and Fu Linchen are together. She also said that they are alone and would do something shameful."
"What!" Chen Hebai's butt bounced up again as soon as it touched the sofa.
"What could possibly happen between Yanyan and Master Fu? They are both innocent. Ye Hongyi is just throwing dirty water on them and deliberately destroying the sincere brotherhood between Gu Yanze and Fu Linchen."
Bai Nuannuan: "Brother Hebai, you are right. I think so too. I believe Yanyan will not do anything out of line with Master Fu."
Her thin eyebrows knitted together: "But Miss Ye insisted that I tell Mr. Gu about this. What should I do?"
Chen Hebai: "Don't be an outsider and interfere. Don't tell Master Gu about this."
Bai Nuannuan acted very embarrassed: "But, if this is discovered, Miss Ye and Mr. Gu will blame me."
Chen Hebai patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of this matter. If Ye Hongyi and Gu Yanze blame you, just say that I told you not to."
Bai Nuannuan's drooping eyes were filled with joy: "Brother Hebai, you are so kind."
Gu Yanze returned to the box, reeking of cigarettes. "What are you two talking about?"
Chen Hebai: "Well, it's just a trivial matter. I asked Nuannuan how her work is going recently."
Gu Yanze sat on the sofa with his head leaning back against the back.
He picked up the phone, clicked on the call log, and saw the call from Ye Hongyi at the top.
Why did Ye Hongyi call him?
If you just glance over it and ignore it, it must not be something important.
——
Su Yanxi was taken by Fu Linchen to the garden restaurant on the top floor of Jingbei Building.
Jasmine and camellia can be seen everywhere in the garden.
A professional performer in a tuxedo sat at the piano and played, and the melodious piano music flowed throughout the restaurant.
Each table was placed with two lit round candles and a bouquet of freshly bloomed red roses.
The yellow candlelight swayed gently, and the ambiguous and gentle light covered the red roses. Every corner was rendered picturesque and extremely romantic.
Su Yanxi sat at the dining table, her soft and fair face hazy in the flickering candlelight, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
This scene made her feel like she was having a candlelight dinner with Fu Linchen, like a couple.
She looked around uncomfortably and asked, "Why are there only two of us in this restaurant? Is business bad?"
Fu Linchen's slender and distinct fingers held the goblet, and his olive-shaped Adam's apple rolled up and down as he tilted his head back to drink the red wine.
"If you want to dine at this restaurant, you need to make a reservation half a month in advance. It's hard to get a seat. The reason there's no one here tonight is because I've booked the whole place."
The candlelight shone on her face, bringing out an even more intense red.
Steak with black truffle and mushroom sauce, sunflower chicken pancake, Provence fried chicken nuggets, egg mashed potatoes with ham.
Each dish is carefully prepared and presented, looking pleasing to the eye.
When Su Yanxi picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak, Fu Linchen took the plate in front of her.
After cutting the steak into small pieces, he placed them back in front of her.
Su Yanxi's heart seemed to be flowing through a pool of warm water, warm and numb.
She ate her steak in small bites, occasionally glancing at his handsome, three-dimensional face.
When Su Yanxi realized that she was secretly looking at Fu Linchen, she was stunned. He was sitting in front of her, why didn't she dare to look at him openly?
She suppressed the emotions that were floating in her heart like willow catkins and looked at the man opposite her: "Brother Linchen, I want to ask if you can help..."
Fu Linchen opened his eyelids and looked at her. His thick black eyelashes drew a sharp arc in the candlelight, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Wait until I finish eating."
Su Yanxi swallowed the rest of her words and said, "Okay."
After the main course, a dessert carved into the shape of a white swan was served.
Fu Linchen drank red wine, his dark pupils reflecting Su Yanxi's face, and his voice was calm and without warmth: "What do you want me to help you with?"
Su Yanxi looked at the lifelike white swan and hesitated, "Can you help Brother Yanze's company go public in the United States?"
Fu Linchen's face showed no sign of surprise, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Because Gu Yanze took the initiative to come to me, even skipped dinner to wait for me for a three-hour meeting, and stayed with me for dinner until late at night, one by one, little princess, you really care about your fiancé brother."
He drank the red wine in the goblet in one gulp, and his thin red lips were as red as blood.
"Su Yanxi, I'm very curious, how do you feel about being with me? Do you feel particularly condescending, particularly aggrieved, and can't wait to get rid of me?"
"That's not the case," Su Yanxi looked up at his eyes and said, "Brother Linchen, I'm very happy to be with you."
The candlelight in Fu Linchen's eyes flickered.
The wrinkles on his eyelids were pressed down, and his brows were full of sharp handsomeness. He spoke bluntly, not hiding his purpose: "If you want me to help Gu Yanze, I can, as long as you break off your engagement with Gu Yanze."
His dark eyes stared at her like an eagle, sharp and intimidating.
Su Yanxi clasped her hands tightly together, and her mind flashed through every detail of her and Gu Yanze's interactions over the past fourteen years.
His love for her, his indulgence towards her, all the good things he did for her, and also, his bad things to her.
Her eyelashes drooped like small fans, and after a long time, they opened like butterfly wings.
"Okay, I'll go break off the engagement with Gu Yanze."
