Thinking of the few people back home, all of them personally sent by Lu Miao, Gu Shiyan glanced at her.

Lu Miao nodded in understanding. “Let’s go. You have to get up early for work tomorrow.”

Gu Shiyan: …

“With so many geniuses in the world, why can’t I have one!”

Ji Nanchen sighed deeply and nudged Lu Miao with his elbow. “If I go to the Tri

Eyes technology to recruit, what’s the likelihood of success?”

With such a genius who perfectly blended mysticism and technology, solving cases would be a breeze.

Lu Miao wasn’t available for recruitment anymore, but they could find someone else, right?

“You’d be better off buying a pillow and going home to sleep and dream,” Gu Shiyan ruthlessly shattered his fantasies, pulling Lu Miao and leading her to the car.

Ji Nanchen, with an eye roll, looked at him wordlessly. He wasn’t even trying to poach his wife, so why was he so excited?

Returning home, it was already 5 in the morning. After a brief exchange with Gu Shiyan, Lu Miao went straight to her room.

Someone had opened a crack in the window at the end of the corridor. Gu Shiyan stood in the chilly breeze, looking at the closed door ahead, and chuckled helplessly.

Finally, after a few days without disturbances, Lu Miao managed to get a good night’s sleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already past 1 p.m.

However, downstairs, she was surprised to see Gu Shiyan sitting on the living room sofa, intently watching the television. He seemed engrossed in the program.

Curious, Lu Miao looked at the TV screen.

On the screen, a young couple kneeled on the ground, and an elegantly dressed woman slapped the face of a delicate young girl in front of her with force. “Even if you break your legs, it’s useless. In this lifetime, you’ll never enter the gates of my Song family.”

A wry smile tugged at the corner of Lu Miao’s lips. So, the usually aloof and restrained Mr Gu enjoyed watching such melodramatic scenes?

Turning away, she went to the storage room. Probably due to the upcoming Lunar New Year, there were many snacks like candies and melon seeds stocked in the house.

Thoughtfully, she filled a plate and brought it over to place it on the coffee table in front of him.

Gu Shiyan snapped out of his trance and saw the plate piled high with snacks. He looked at Lu Miao with some confusion.

Lu Miao pointed at the TV. “Online, they say watching dramas and eating snacks go well together.”

Only now did Gu Shiyan notice that the TV was on. The couple on the screen were embracing and appearing to be in dire straits. He pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, his forehead sporting a black line. “I didn’t…”

He was just lost in thought, completely unaware of what was playing on the television.

Lu Miao gave him a knowing glance. “I didn’t see anything.”

Gu Shiyan, rarely having a hobby, couldn’t dampen her spirits.

Black lines formed on Gu Shiyan’s forehead. This was a situation he couldn’t wash away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He simply stood up and went to the kitchen to reheat the meal. He beckoned Lu Miao over.

As Lu Miao ate, she casually asked, “Weren’t you supposed to attend a banquet today? Why are you still at home?”

Gu Shiyan looked at her. “I need to bring a female companion.”

“What about Secretary Chen? Don’t you usually take her with you?” Lu Miao questioned.

“Secretary Chen is away on business,” Gu Shi Yan replied. Lu Miao pondered for a moment. “What about Secretary Bai?”

“She’s also away on business,” he answered.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Miao’s eyes. “You wouldn’t tell me that

Secretary Qin is away on business too, would you?”

“Yes,” Gu Shiyan replied, his face calm and his heart unaffected.

Lu Miao leisurely glanced at him. “Your company seems to be quite busy.”

Having calmly finished the food in his bowl, Gu Shiyan handed her a tissue. Taking it from him, Lu Miao wiped her hands and said, “Let’s go.”

Although she never attended such banquets, she understood that occasions like these required proper makeup and styling. Yet, Gu Shiyan had simply wrapped her up in a thick down jacket and whisked her away.

Thus, in the banquet hall filled with exquisitely dressed and elegantly made-up beauties, there was Lu Miao, bundled up like a plump white cotton candy, standing conspicuously beside the handsome and dashing figure of Gu Shiyan.

A group of people approached, and from a distance, they warmly extended their hands. “President Gu.”

Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow and clasped the hand that was holding onto Lu Miao’s. “Sorry, it’s not very convenient.”

Lu Miao: …

People have two hands, right?!

Trying to retract her hand, Lu Miao found that Gu Shiyan was holding onto it even tighter.

The group of people stared at Lu Miao, who looked like a dumpling. “President Gu, who is this…”

“My wife,” Gu Shiyan said proudly.

At this moment, Lu Miao finally understood the concept of “showing off.”

Really? Was it necessary?

Was he this proud just because he had a wife?

It’s not like no one else had wives. Moreover, he wasn’t even married yet; at most, she could be called his fiancée.

Beside them, Mr. Xu from Starlight Culture was the first to catch on. He immediately praised, “I’ve heard of Mrs. Gu’s reputation, and today, I can see that your beauty matches your wisdom, just as I expected. You and Mr. Gu truly complement each other.”

Compliments at events like these required a certain finesse. In this arena of competition and vanity, most female companions were just accessories. They had to be beautiful and elegant to enhance their male counterparts’ image. However, Gu Shi Yan had wrapped Lu Miao up like a cotton ball, never leaving her side. It was evident he wanted to protect her from the cold, like a precious treasure.

To make Gu Shiyan happy, naturally, one had to praise Lu Miao.

But praising her only for her looks would essentially belittle her. Mr. Xu speculated that Lu Miao was probably still a student due to her age. Therefore, he cleverly praised her for her intelligence and beauty.

The art of flattery had successfully struck a chord in Gu Shiyan’s heart, making him even happier than if he had been praised himself.

“I recall that Starlight had a project that came my way recently. Mr. Xu, why don’t you have your team prepare a detailed proposal? Tomorrow, you can personally deliver it to me for review.” 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢

Mr. Xu’s eyes instantly lit up. Gu Corporation held incredible capital power, and which company wouldn’t want to collaborate?

However, Gu Corporation had never ventured into the entertainment industry. Many entertainment companies had attempted to seek partnerships before, only to be rejected.

Mr. Xu had merely taken a chance by sending over a project proposal. Naturally, it had ended up in obscurity.

But unexpectedly, today’s praises for Lu Miao had led to an opportunity. This was an opportunity to grasp onto the immense tree that was Gu Corporation. With this connection, the company’s future development was secured for the next decade.

Without a moment of hesitation, Mr. Xu nodded decisively. “Rest assured, President Gu. I will immediately ensure that a comprehensive proposal is prepared. Tomorrow, I will personally bring it to you for your review.” The surrounding onlookers were stunned. Seriously? This worked?

Just a few compliments and Mr. Xu had managed to secure a connection with Gu Shiyan’s influence?

Seeing this, they began showering Lu Miao with various kinds of rainbow flattery as well.

All were adept at delivering flattery without repetition.

Gu Shiyan just to detest this kind of flattery, but he enjoyed hearing them praise Lu Miao. He displayed an uncommon patience towards these people.

Amidst the crowd, Lu Miao felt her head buzzing. She intended to find an opportunity to slip away unnoticed but suddenly sensed that a gaze outside the crowd was fixed on her, akin to a wild beast targeting its prey. Swiftly turning her head, she looked in the direction of the feeling..
