Gu Huaian thought for a moment and followed Qiu Rushi's words: "After all, Shi Yue is so good-looking and has outstanding temperament, so it is normal to have one or two suitors."

These words immediately reminded Qiu Rushi. She couldn't wait to tell her third brother the good news and let him see that the woman he had always been protecting could still get along with other men on such occasions.

Gu Huaian held her back and said, "You're tired too. Take a rest first and I'll tell you."

Qiu Rushi was also happy to give her the opportunity to have more contact with her third brother.

Gu Huaian quickly found Qiu Xichen, who had always been the most dazzling presence in the crowd.

He was talking to his friend Zheng Shen, and Gu Huaian waited beside him for a while.

Zheng Shen grew up with Qiu Xichen and was familiar with Gu Huaian. He thought he would give them a chance. He patted Qiu Xichen on the shoulder and said, "Then you and Huai'an chat first."

Seeing him leaving, Gu Huaian smiled gratefully at him. She walked up to Qiu Xichen. She hadn't seen him for a long time. Many people were talking about it, but they didn't know what to say.

Qiu Xichen spoke first: "During this period, none of them will make things difficult for you anymore, right?"

Gu Huaian shook his head slightly: "My parents...haven't forced me anymore, Xichen, I have to thank you for this."

Qiu Xichen didn't look at her. He looked around the banquet hall and frowned unconsciously when he didn't see Shi Yue.

"I promised my mother that I would take good care of you, as I should. You don't need to thank me."

These words made Gu Huai'an feel sour. Without these words, would he have planned to ignore him?

Everything changed after Shi Yue appeared.

She tried her best to smile: "I just saw Miss Shi. She seemed a little uncomfortable and went to the rest room. Do you... want to go and take a look?"

Gu Huaian looked at him and frowned a little more, feeling even more bitter in his heart.

Qiu Xichen walked towards the lounge without even thinking about it.

The banquet was extremely lively, but the lounge was very quiet.

Shi Yue poured a cup of hot water for Ye Xingxing. Seeing that she was in a daze, she became even more worried. She could only persuade her: "Xingxing, they came for me just now and said those words on purpose to make you angry."

Ye Xingxing took the water glass but did not drink it. She laughed to herself: "Yueyue, you don't have to lie to me by saying these words. I know better than you what kind of character Lu Cun is."

She raised her head and looked at Shi Yue, trying not to look sad: "Yue Yue, tell me the truth. Did you see him just now? With a woman?"

Facing Xingxing's tone, Shi Yue really couldn't say anything to coax her. She felt distressed, but could only nod.

Ye Xingxing's eyes turned red instantly. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, not wanting to make herself too embarrassed.

She tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth: "Yueyue, don't worry about me. I have finally understood this bitch. I will break off the engagement with him tomorrow and have nothing to do with him anymore."

She hugged Shi Yue's arm again and comforted her: "You should also be happy for me and celebrate me getting rid of the scumbag."

Shi Yue couldn't help but laugh. There were so many people watching and talking around just now. She knew Ye Xingxing's character very well and knew what she was thinking in her heart.

She hugged him: "Wake up, cry if you want, don't keep everything in your heart."

Ye Xingxing pointed at Zhou Mian who was standing at the door: "There are others here. Don't let me embarrass myself in front of this handsome guy."

Only now did Zhou Mian step forward and pour a glass of red wine: "Since I don't want to cry right now, let's drink some wine. At least I'll be happy."

Ye Xingxing seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappy incident. She quietly bumped Shi Yue with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "How do you know Young Master Zhou?"

"Mrs. Zhou ordered a cheongsam from me."

Zhou Mian still heard the sound of the two talking clearly. He smiled lightly and stepped forward, handing the wine glass to Ye Xingxing, but not to Shi Yue.

"Everyone knows that Miss Qiu is arrogant and domineering, so those people will not take her words seriously, and Miss Ye need not feel sad."

Facing Zhou Mian's comfort, Ye Xingxing didn't care at all. She took the red wine and drank it down: "Hey, I'm not sad, but can you tell me how you met our Yueyue?"

Zhou Mian glanced at Shi Yue tonight, who was dazzling in the crowd, and he responded with a smile: "When I met Miss Shi, she was customizing cheongsam for my mother. When I became familiar with Miss Shi, she went to Yao Town.

On the train."

These contents ignited Ye Xingxing's burning fire of gossip: "Yao Zhen?" She turned to look at Shi Yue: "When did you go to Yao Zhen?"

Shi Yue didn't know how to speak at all. Just when he was trying to fool him, the door of the lounge was opened from the outside.

Several people heard the noise and looked towards the door.

In the room, Zhou Mian was standing next to Shi Yue. Qiu Xichen's eyes were dark. He stepped in, feeling chilled all over.

Seeing that several people were quiet, he suddenly laughed: "Why are you not talking anymore?"

Shi Yue collected his thoughts and stepped forward to ask, "Is there something going on outside?"

Qiu Xichen glanced at Zhou Mian beside him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to help her straighten her clothes: "It's nothing, I just heard someone said that you are feeling a little uncomfortable, so I came over to take a look. Are you okay?"

She was always in good condition, so it was obvious that someone had deliberately lured him here. Shi Yue couldn't figure out what this person's intention was.

Qiu Xichen smiled and said, "The dinner party is almost over. Grandpa asked us to go down and see off the guests."

Shi Yue turned around, she was still worried about Ye Xingxing's condition.

When she didn't say anything, Zhou Mian seemed to know what she was thinking: "Go and do your business. I will help take care of Miss Ye."

The smile on Qiu Xichen's lips was a bit cold. He put his arm around Shi Yue's waist and took him out.

Seeing that his whole mood had changed again, Shi Yue realized it later and asked, "Have you misunderstood me and Zhou Mian again?"

Maybe Qiu Rushi or Gu Huaian deliberately let him go to the lounge so that he could see something he shouldn't.

But those people were wrong.

Qiu Xichen didn't make any excuses, and just said: "There are many friends of the Qiu family among the guests today, so it's always good to pay more attention."

After saying that, he made another request to Shi Yue: "You'd better stay away from that lawyer Zhou and have as little contact with him as possible."

Shi Yue frowned: "Third Master, I don't think our engagement involves interfering with each other's friendships."

Qiu Xichen's arm held her waist harder: "The engagement contract I signed when I was unconscious, do you think it will count?"

Sensing the scorching gaze behind her, Qiu Xichen deliberately leaned into her ear again, and seemed to others to be whispering: "The initiative is always in my hands, Shi Yue, you have no choice, so you'd better be good."

Some."
