”Director Ning, why are you here?”

Xin Nianyin calmed herself down. She was surprised to see Ning Yan here, but she was not happy. Could it be that he was also here to meet one of the big matchmakers?

”Am I strange here? ”I am the prince charming among the women of Shanghai City, and only you, a woman, have such high standards. You don't put me in your eyes.”

Ning Yan was neither joking nor serious. From the moment she saw him, his deep gaze had never left her.

Xin Xinyin only rolled her eyes. Indeed, most of these rich young masters were delusional.

”Then why did Prince Charming come here instead of accepting the admiration of the people in front of him?”

Xin Nianyin found a comfortable seat and sat down, ignoring Ning Yan.

”Coming here, of course, to find the lost princess.”

Ning Yan wanted to see her reaction, even though his heart skipped a beat after she finished speaking.

Xin Nianyin was stunned for a moment, but she soon recovered. She knew her own limits and didn't feel that Ning Yan was talking about her.

”Princess? ”Other than a husband and wife, there's no one else here. Tch, the princesses are all in front of us, so it's best if we don't waste any more time here.”

Xin Nianyin purposely ignored the tenderness in Ning Yan's eyes. Subconsciously, she didn't want to face it. As she spoke, she even raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the banquet hall.

Ning Yan was somewhat depressed by Xin Xinyin's attitude. A husband's wife?

This was the second time she said such words in front of him. Was she purposely reminding him?

It seemed that this little wild cat was not as crazy as she seemed. She was aware of his thoughts.

This time, Ning Yan didn't reply. She merely smiled and the two of them remained silent for a long time.

When Xin Nianyin was about to leave, Ning Yan walked in front of her and stared at her. ”Xin Nianyin, are you happy to be married to Gu Qi?”

Xin Nianyin was obviously stupefied by Ning Yan's question. Before she could open her mouth, her waist tightened as her firm and powerful arm rested on her waist. She immediately knew that it was due to Gu Qi.

His actions were smooth and did not sound gentle at all. He exerted force in his hands, and it felt more like punishment.

”Director Ning, we meet again. I didn't think that Director Ning's hobbies would be so special that she would choose a married woman.”

Gu Qi's face was dark, and his tone was gloomy. If it wasn't for the two families cooperating, he would have kicked this annoying man out at this moment.

If it wasn't for the old tutor's death order, he would never have attended this banquet. He'd only exchanged a few greetings with the honored guests that had arrived. Who would've thought that she would've disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Gu Qi Chen was a little worried, so he secretly ordered his subordinates to search the entire Gu family, but she was nowhere to be found.

Only then did he think about coming to the back garden to take a look. From afar, he could see the woman he was so worried about. She was currently with a man, and the distance between the two was actually so close.

Gu Qi's cold face immediately darkened. He was worried that something might have happened to her, but he didn't expect her to be so restless. She had been with this man so many times.

It seemed that he had been too kind to her during this period of time.

Due to the matter of Gu Bo helping the Xin family, coupled with Gu Ying's reputation, Ning Yan felt that he was unworthy of a woman as good as Xin Nianyin. Therefore, she wasn't courteous at all when speaking to him.

”Director Gu is a famous young master in Shanghai. Does everyone think that he's the same as you?”

”How could he compare to Director Ning? The reason for his anger is actually for the sake of a married woman.”

Gu Qi unceremoniously returned the favor. The moment he thought of how Ning Yan would treat Xin Nianyin, he felt as if he wanted to tie this woman to his side.

Xin Nianyin watched as the two men started shooting sparks in every direction, as if they were about to fight in the next second.

”Do you two need to be so childish? ”Since it's so hot, let's go to the front and drink some tea and lower the fire.”
