Gu Qichen was obviously making excuses for Xia Yangyang.

Liu Ruyan tactfully added, “Of course, today is Yangyang’s birthday. We’re hosting this birthday banquet just to make her happy.”

Several senior members of the Gu family were also there.

Xia Yangyang greeted each one of them.

Xia Yangyang saw Gu Zhaohan once more.

He stood behind Gu Mingzhu, silent and still, like an invisible man.

Xia Yangyang’s heart unexpectedly felt as if it had been squeezed.

The word “Xiao Han likes you” that Gu Qi Chen had said suddenly echoed in her mind.

Xia Yangyang unconsciously shook her head.

No way!

Definitely impossible!

It’s merely Gu Qi Chen overthinking!

Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan casually exchanged greetings.

Then they both dispersed.

Today’s birthday banquet was unlike the usual ones.

It was more like a half-dinner party.

The banquet hall had a variety of buffet-style gourmet dishes.

Champagne towers were everywhere.

Most of the guests were holding champagne, immersed in lively conversation.

The banquet hall had a vast dance floor.

A lot of people were waltzing in there.

Many well-known artists from Star City International were also present.

Upon seeing Xia Yangyang and Gu Qi Chen, they all came over to offer their congratulations.

Xia Yangyang didn’t particularly like such occasions, but after all, it was her birthday banquet, so she had no choice but to embrace it reluctantly.

Xia Liangdong and Liu Ruyan were mingling with the business moguls.

In reality, Xia Yangyang felt that this wasn’t a birthday banquet for her, but the Gu family from the southern city using it as an opportunity to expand their network.

She found the feeling rather uncomfortable.

Xia Weiwei was originally chatting with a group of high-society women from Kyoto.

Upon seeing Gu Qi Chen, she immediately stepped forward to greet him.

When she approached Gu Qi Chen, she sweetly called him, “Brother-in-law.”

The gazes of both Gu Qi Chen and Xia Yangyang fell upon Xia Weiwei at the same time.

Xia Yangyang frowned.

The clothes Xia Weiwei was wearing… were hers.

Xia Weiwei, noticing Gu Qi Chen intently looking at her, showed a hint of coy shyness.

Liu Ruyan had previously told her that since Gu Qi Chen liked Xia Yangyang’s simple style, she should imitate it.

The dress she had found in Xia Yangyang’s wardrobe, with its tiny beige flowers, though it seemed rather drab to her, might be Gu Qi Chen’s preferred style.

In front of Xia Yangyang, Xia Weiwei said, “Brother-in-law, when you stare at me like this, I feel a bit shy.”

Gu Qi Chen lightly commented, “That dress you’re wearing…”

Xia Weiwei’s heart fluttered with joy.

As expected, it had worked. Gu Qi Chen really did like this style.

In the past, whenever she saw Gu Qi Chen, she would carefully dress herself up, but Gu Qi Chen never really looked at her with interest. Today, he had actually initiated a conversation with her.

Xia Weiwei was completely taken aback.

Xia Weiwei was eagerly awaiting Gu Qi Chen’s praise.

Suddenly, Gu Qi Chen coldly spat out two words, “Quite ugly.”

Xia Weiwei was dumbstruck.

After speaking, without waiting for Xia Weiwei to react, he took Xia Yangyang’s hand and walked away.

Xia Weiwei was so mad that she almost wanted to tear off the dress she was wearing then and there.

She knew it! What kind of taste could Xia Yangyang have? How could Gu Qi Chen possibly like it!

Maybe Xia Yangyang had deliberately left such an ugly dress in her wardrobe, intentionally making her look foolish!

Xia Weiwei’s hands clenched into fists!

On the other hand, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s the dress you bought. How could you call it ugly?”

“It looks beautiful on you. On anyone else, it’s utterly hideous.”

Xia Yangyang pretended to sigh, “I don’t know what Xia Weiwei sees in you. She tries so hard to please you.”

“Does she even like me? She’s only attracted to the prestige that comes with me.”

“Then how do you know I’m not attracted to the prestige that comes with you?”

“Because…last night you cried professing your love for me.”

Thinking back to the previous night, Xia Yangyang’s face flushed so profoundly it could bleed. At a time like that, one isn’t in their right mind, words spoken then can’t be taken seriously.

Furthermore, Xia Yangyang didn’t remember saying that.

“What? Don’t remember? Do you want a review today?”

“Gu Qi Chen, you’re acting like a rogue again!”
