74 Lover

'”How was it?” Bai Jiawei asked.'

'Li Yuyan pouted

”We couldn't book the top floor as expected. However

we were able to book the second floor.”'

'Bai Jiawei gently patted his daughter on the back

”It's okay. I told you it will be impossible to book the top floor.”'

'”But He Xinyan was there!”'

'”What?” Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow.'

'”When we were up on the top floor

He Xinyan suddenly showed up with this other guy.”'

'”What guy?”'

'Li Yuyan rolled her eyes

”His surname is Gu

but the manager told us that he is just some relative of the Gu family without much power. You know

the Gu family is probably really large. He's probably just some far relative that came over to use the power of the Gu Empire.”'

'Bai Jiawei nodded his head in agreement. The Gu family was indeed very large

and even just a small relative without any relation to the main family line would have a certain amount of power here in Country Z.'

'”But what was He Xinyan doing there?” Bai Jiawei asked as he slightly furrowed his eyebrows together.'

'Li Yuyan scoffed

”That guy is her boyfriend. She's probably his mistress or something and just sleeps with him to get money. You know how a few days ago there was news about her with the CEO of the Gu Corporation. He probably got tired of her so she went to go find someone else.”'

'”Li Yuyan!” Bai Jiawei's face had turned red from anger as this possibility would be an embarrassment to the He family. The youngest daughter of the He family was a lover?!'

'But then Bai Jiawei thought of the fact that she was the lover of a relative of the Gu family

and it wasn't too bad after that. Maybe he could get some benefit from that too. . .'

'Bai Jiawei cleared his throat and told the driver to start the car

”Let's just see who she brings to the engagement ceremony.”'

'The food was served quickly and when He Xinyan had returned from the restroom

all of the food was already ready. He Xinyan looked at the appetizing and luxurious food and gulped.'

'If there was a list of the things she liked the most in the world

food would be at the top. . . but Gu Yechen was quickly catching up. Plus

being with Gu Yechen meant delicious and free food

so it was a win-win situation.'

'Xinyan sat down and they began eating

and the food tasted better than it looked.'

'”Are you the only one that can come up here?”'

'Gu Yechen looked up from his plate

”No. Aren't you here too?”'

'He Xinyan sighed

”But you're the only one they service

right? Unless you give them permission.”'

'Gu Yechen nodded

”The Dasi Hotel belongs to the Gu Corporation

but the 53rd floor belongs to me.”'

'”Wow. . .” He Xinyan was genuinely surprised. This man was truly the most powerful man in Country Z.'

'Gu Yechen placed a peeled shrimp onto He Xinyan's plate

”Eat.”'

'”Oh

okay.”'

'After another period of silence

Gu Yechen asked

”Was that your step sister and future brother-in-law.”'

'He Xinyan nodded and smiled as she took a bite of the fresh salad

”He's also my ex-boyfriend.”'

'Gu Yechen's eyes flashed dangerously as he replied calmly

”I'm glad your taste in men improved.”'

'Xinyan laughed

”Are you complimenting yourself or me?”'

'”Both.”'

'He Xinyan's smile grew wider as she nodded her head in agreement. From Su Zhiming to Gu Yechen was a very

very big improvement.'

'”Is the top floor actually booked on August 9th or is that just an excuse to not let them up here.”'
