C76 Air Garden (2/2)
”Yes.” Gu Xi Nian replied coldly. He didn't want to explain too much to Mu Xin Rou, so he looked around, but didn't find Gu Qian.
From the corner of her eyes, Mu Xin Rou saw Tang Yi Qing and co. watching from afar. With a meaningful look on their faces, she came up with a plan.
”Aiya!” Mu Xin Rou, who was wearing shiny high heels, suddenly twisted and fell straight towards Gu Xi Nian.
Mu Xin Rou had planned to fall into Gu Xi Nian's arms.
However, Gu Xi Nian turned his body in time, with one hand holding the champagne glass and the other hand reaching out to support Mu Xin Rou, allowing her to find her balance and not continue to throw her out.
Seeing that she had steadied herself, he released his hold on her, as if she was something he shouldn't have touched.
Mu Xin Rou's eyes became slightly disappointed, then she said apologetically: ”Xi Nian, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold my ground just now …” ”High heels are too high …”
Gu Xi Nian lightly glanced at her, not paying much attention to her explanation. ”Then you better stand firmly in the future.”
Gu Xi Nian didn't want to get involved with Mu Xin Rou, so he told Sun Ze and Wu Dong Qun, ”I'll be leaving first.” He placed the glass on the waiter's tray and strode away.
”Xi Nian …” Mu Xin Rou took a few steps forward in an attempt to catch up, but her high heels did not allow her to run to catch up with Gu Xi Nian at all.
Mu Xin Rou was shy and angry. She saw the pride in Tang Yi Qing's eyes, as well as the expressions of pity, disbelief, and pity. Of course, there were people with the same expression as Tang Yi Qing.
”Cough cough, Xin Rou, let's toast. Don't bother about Xi Nian ge.” When Sun Ze saw that Mu Xin Rou had been left in her original spot, his tender heart rose again. He wanted to comfort her, after all, she was a girl, to be abandoned in public, she still needed to be given some face.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xin Rou didn't care about this and didn't even look at Sun Ze. She took a deep breath and left on her high heels.
Sun Ze shook his head, sighed, and continued to chat with Wu Dong Qun.
Gu Qian searched around the banquet for Yu Xuan, but didn't find her. Thus, he ran over to the hotel's hanging garden.
He didn't expect that the restaurant's design would be so ingenious. They built a garden in the air, allowing him a clear view of the city's night scene.
Gu Qian casually strolled in and sat down on a rattan swing, quietly enjoying the moment of tranquility. The early summer breeze was gentle, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
”Gu Qian!” An unfriendly female voice broke the silence in Gu Qian's room.
Gu Qian raised his head upon hearing her voice and saw a trace of anger on her pretty face.
”It's you?” Gu Qian raised his brows. There was not a trace of happiness in his tone. In fact, there was even a trace of coldness in his tone. She was no longer familiar with the person in front of her.
”I should be the one saying that. Why are you here at such a famous banquet?”
”No one has said I can't come, right?”
”I just didn't expect that after five years, you would still be pestering Gu Xi Nian like a ghost.” The one who had come was Mu Xin Rou. She who had been abandoned by Gu Xi Nian did not want to return to that rich family's daughter territory and be laughed at by them. She, Mu Xin Rou, would not be easily ridiculed!
Thus, he came to the floating garden. He might even be able to bump into Kusi by chance.
He didn't expect Gu Xi Nian to be unable to find it, but he found Gu Qian instead.
”I would like to ask, who is the one who has been pestering Xinian all this time?” Gu Qian didn't want to be outdone, so he stood up and stared unambiguously at Mu Xin Rou.
