"So there’s actually a woman other than Zhou Yalin who caught your eye, Mr. Gu!" Yuan Shen clicked his tongue, his charming eyes slightly raised, his curiosity piqued to the max, "Which woman is it? The A-list actress Tang Qian who attended the movie premiere with you last time? Or the Lin Family’s Miss Lin Lanlan, who went to the party with you before? Or maybe it’s that enchanting PR manager from your company?"
Yuan Shen was trying hard to think of all the women who recently had contact with Gu Ningyi.
But as Yuan Shen rambled on endlessly, Gu Ningyi didn’t say a word, sitting silently on the sofa with a somber face, pursing his lips, lost in his own thoughts.
If Yuan Shen were to give up so easily, he wouldn’t be Young Master Yuan after all. He waved a hand in front of Gu Ningyi’s face, continuing to probe, "Come on, dude, tell me who it is!" Latest content published on novel⟡fire.net
Yuan Shen’s incessant questioning seemed too annoying, as Gu Ningyi slowly raised his eyes, his dark pupils moving until his gaze fell on Yuan Shen’s face. His attention returned to him, as he smirked, opened his thin lips slightly, and slowly spoke.
Yuan Shen was ready to perk up his ears and find out which lady had caught Mr. Gu’s favor, but then he heard Gu Ningyi’s distinctively lazy and irreverent voice say, "Yuan Shen, have you considered changing jobs? You’d make a better paparazzo than an office worker. Recognize your talents early on, don’t waste them."
Yuan Shen exclaimed jokingly in mock anger, then defended himself, "Hey, I’m just concerned about you. My intentions are pure, I swear to the heavens!"
He paused for a moment, his voice lowered slightly, and continued, "Of course, there’s a bit of curiosity, naturally. You’re not exactly known for being love-struck; after all these years, you’ve only fallen for Zhou Yalin. And suddenly someone else shows up? If I said I wasn’t curious, it’d be a lie. Come on, tell me, is it Miss Ling? Miss Lu? Or Miss Qi?"
Gu Ningyi cast a cold glance at Yuan Shen, whose face was now a picture of gossip. Just as he was about to retort with a "None of your business," a familiar voice reached his ears.
"Director, I’m really, really grateful to you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity again. I promise I’ll perform well and won’t let you down."
The voice was soft and, perhaps due to some alcohol, it carried a hint of huskiness, making it captivating and enchanting in the dim and quiet atmosphere.
Gu Ningyi reflexively looked towards where the voice came from, two booth tables away from him. He hadn’t noticed earlier that someone was sitting there due to the seat’s discreetness.
Now, he could see clearly.
A bright red dress, enticing enough even in such dim light, but it wasn’t just the red dress that caught Gu Ningyi’s eye—it was the woman wearing it!
Those familiar features—who else could it be but Dong Xin Yan?
So... he really hadn’t been mistaken; that familiar figure at the entrance earlier was indeed Dong Xin Yan! So, the woman being closely hugged by a man was also Dong Xin Yan!
