âMr. Shen, are you serious?â a womanâs delighted voice rang out.
Although Gu Huanhuan did not interact much with Sun Xiaoqian, her voice had a deliberately coquettish tone, making it highly recognizable.
âOf course, after I return, I will tell my elder brother that Songâs refusal to choose you as their spokesperson is their loss. Just look at you, with your delicate skin and tender flesh, and your figure, so graceful and enchanting. You are one of the top contenders in the entertainment industry, and youâve even won awards. But most importantly, darling, this outfit of yours adds so much to your charm.â Shen Hui spoke, his words dripping with insincerity, lacking propriety.
He had just approached Sun Xiaoqian, expressing his long-standing admiration and how happy he was to finally make her acquaintance, even claiming to be a fan of hers.
Most importantly, he introduced himself as the second son of the Shen family, a status that quickly hooked Sun Xiaoqian.
It was only after hearing Shen Hui mention her clothes that Gu Huanhuan remembered Sun Xiaoqian was wearing a black lace dress that evening.
Sun Xiaoqian must have been enchanting in such attire.
âStop it, Mr. Shen, then Iâll be waiting for your good news,â Sun Xiaoqian said with a coy demeanor that was incredibly captivating.
She knew who Shen Hui was, the second son of the Shen family, with a penchant for racing cars and beautiful women. Aware of her charms, it was easy to latch onto him; after all, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
âAlright, baby,â Shen Hui said, while pulling her into his embrace.
âSomeoneâs here,â Sun Xiaoqian feigned protest.
âNo one will know about this here; donât worry, everyone else is over in the main hall,â Shen Hui whispered.
The conversation that followed was full of flirtatious and sickly sweet words, making Gu Huanhuanâs skin crawl as she listened from the side.@@novelbin@@
She was simply speechless, lamenting what the world had come to, how people could talk of love and affection after knowing each other for such a short time.
Not wanting to interrupt them, she quietly slipped away, the two on the balcony oblivious to her presence.
She couldnât help but check her phone again, still no message from Wen Chi.
âMiss Gu, there you are. Is it that my banquet is too dull?â Song Jie appeared to be looking for her, and upon spotting her, his face relaxed.
âNot at all, itâs very successful, Mr. Song. Thank you for your hospitality,â Gu Huanhuan replied politely.
âThatâs good to hear. Todayâs pastries are made by the hotelâs head chefâtheyâre delicious. You should try them,â Song Jie said enthusiastically.
All of a sudden, Gu Huanhuan remembered how sloppy she had looked eating during the last shoot. He couldnât really pigeonhole her as a glutton, could he?
Feeling as though a flock of crows was âcaw-cawingâ over her head in embarrassment, Gu Huanhuan still managed to say, through gritted teeth, âIâve tried them already, and theyâre very tasty, thank you.â
âThatâs great to hear. Actually, Iâm also a food lover. If you have time, we could go out and enjoy some good food together. What do you think, Miss Gu?â Song Jie asked.
âSure, if thereâs an opportunity,â Gu Huanhuan replied noncommittally.
The banquet was nearly over, and Gu Huanhuan intended to take her leave.
âBy the way, Mr. Song, I have some things to take care of, so I must go now,â Gu Huanhuan took the opportunity to say, as slipping away unnoticed seemed improper.
Song Jie nodded, âAlright, Iâll have the driver take you.
âNo need, I have someone picking me up,â Gu Huanhuan told a kind lie.
