Xia Yangyang couldn’t resist shouting at Gu Qichen: “Why did you bring me here?”

Xia Yangyang turned to leave.

She didn’t want to stay here a single minute longer.

But Gu Qichen grabbed her by the arm.

Gu Qichen spoke with a cool, calm voice: “If you leave now, you’ll miss a good show.”

Xia Yangyang had no idea what Gu Qichen was planning, but she felt that he had been prepared all along.

Gu Qichen continued: “Xia Yangyang, since you’ve done nothing wrong, don’t be timid, don’t let others think you’re easy to bully.”

In the end, Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen in.

She even thought herself mad for doing so.

The banquet had just begun.

Lu Haotian and Gong Xue’er were standing at the door, greeting guests. freew ebnove l.com

Gong Xue’er had changed into a designer white fishtail gown, her slim and tall figure even more pronounced. Her hair was piled high on her head, looking every bit the Ice Queen of a fairy tale.

Her smile was radiant today, whereas the man next to her, Lu Haotian, wore a cold, grim expression.

Gong Xue’er was slightly taken aback when she saw Xia Yangyang arriving with Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen, however, grabbed Xia Yangyang’s hand, entwined it with his arm, and walked towards them.

Gong Xue’er hesitated just a second before grabbing Lu Haotian’s arm when Xia Yangyang stood in front of her, and said with a smile: “Yangyang, never thought you’d actually come. Haotian and I were worried you wouldn’t.”

Lu Haotian’s eyes, however, were fixated on Xia Yangyang’s face.

His originally gloomy and numb eyes seemed to hold some emotion at last.

In the end, his gaze landed on Xia Yangyang’s arm entwined with Gu Qichen’s, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “So you genuinely are dating Mr. Gu.”

Gong Xue’er chirped: “Haotian, what are you saying? Yangyang is the type of person to pick up and let go as she pleases. Not just Mr. Gu, there have always been boys around her in school.”

Gong Xue’er seemed to suddenly realize something and said to Gu Qichen: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that Yangyang plays around with men, just that she is quite popular among boys and sometimes can’t turn them down. She’s not that kind of person, President Gu, please don’t misunderstand.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gong Xue’er to be so malicious as to start stirring up trouble right in front of Gu Qichen.

But Gu Qichen’s face was calm, even indulgent as he ruffled the hair next to him: “Of course I know what sort of person Yangyang is, at any rate, she’s not in the same class as Miss Gong.”

Gong Xueer’s face changed instantly, her smile freezing over.

Lu Haotian looked utterly disheartened, saying with a low voice: “Please come in.”

Xia Yangyang walked in with Gu Qichen, unavoidably attracting many eyes as they entered.

After all, Gu Qichen’s status was evident to all, and he was the object of many women’s affections in Feng City.

The venue was opulently decorated, crystals hanging from the chandelier like cascading tassels.

Xia Yangyang didn’t enjoy being the center of attention, she felt it like needles in her back. So, she willingly let go of the hand she had entwined with Gu Qichen’s arm.

Xia Yangyang said to Gu Qichen: “I see my classmates over there, I’ll join them at their table.”

Gu Qichen raised his eyebrows, didn’t say anything, tacitly agreeing to her decision.

In fact, both Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen had invitations, their seats had been arranged beforehand.

Xia Yangyang was seated with her journalism school classmates, near the stage constructed in the banquet hall.

Gu Qichen’s seat was at the VIP table, just next to the main table.

In comparison, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen were only one table apart.

As soon as Xia Yangyang sat down, Xinyi from the journalism society came over and asked: “Yangyang, did you just come in with Gu Qichen?”

Xia Yangyang replied: “It was just a coincidence.”

Xinyi looked confused. Everyone had been busy playing with their phones, taking pictures, and posting to their moments. They hadn’t noticed her. But she was sure she had glimpsed Xia Yangyang walking in with Gu Qichen’s arm entwined with hers.

Had she been seeing things?
