The car drove smoothly into the corridor inside the manor, Su Jiuyao lowered the car window, and looked at the building with flickering lights not far away.

It was a manor with pure Italian classical architectural style. Although it was night, it was still beautiful. The night wind was mixed with brisk Sicilian dance music, faintly floating from a distance.

It was supposed to be a pleasant thing, but for some reason, as soon as she entered the manor, cold sweat broke out in Su Jiuyao's palms.

Gu Hanye noticed her silence, and her tightly kneaded fingers: "Nervous?"

Jiuyao shook her head, it's not that she hasn't attended big occasions before, even though she is abroad, she won't be stage frightened.

The uneasiness in my heart seemed even more inexplicable.

Su Jiuyao rubbed her temples, not letting herself think about it, and then changed the subject: "Is this manor owner your friend or your business partner?"

Gu Hanye then told her that Li Shan, the current manor owner, is also from Haicheng, so he is not considered a friend or a business partner.

If it had to be counted, it would be a distant uncle with a little relationship with Gu Hanye, but he lived in Milan all the year round, and his business was also here.

Li Shan's wife is a local aristocrat, so this classical manor was originally the property of Li Shan's wife's family.

The reason why Gu Hanye came to this reception was to take this opportunity to meet several other business partners who were also present, so as to help Gu's continue to develop the European market.

For this kind of social scene, Gu Hanye was afraid that Su Jiuyao would not like it, so he didn't want to bring her here, but firstly, he was afraid that she would be lonely in the hotel alone, and secondly, the Auditore Manor had some history, so it was worth visiting.

Listening to his unhurried explanation, Su Jiuyao's tension eased a lot.

She was thinking, if she has a little relationship with Gu Hanye, does she have similar looks?

In Su Jiuyao's mind, he couldn't help but outline the image of an elegant and gentlemanly middle-aged man.

The car drove through another section of corridor and arrived at the reception site.

After stopping the car, Gu Hanye handed over the car keys to the waiter, then put Jiuyao's hand on his arm, and the two walked into the arena hand in hand.

Su Jiuyao met the manor owner and his wife.

Well, it seems to be different from what I imagined.

Li Shan is short and fat, with a thin crown and a fleshy face. Even though he is wearing a high-end tuxedo, he still looks a little greasy.

Li Shan's wife, on the other hand, is thin and tall, with cold eyes and thin lips, giving people an unattainable feeling.

Standing together with his elegant wife, Li Shan looked a bit out of place.

Li Shan's wife welcomed the two generously, hoping that they would not be formal.

Li Shan squinted his small eyes, looked Su Jiuyao up and down, couldn't help but nodded in admiration, and said with a smirk, "Han Ye, your little wife is even more beautiful than in the photo! You are very lucky! Huh?"

Especially the last word "Huh?" implies some ambiguity that men only understand.

Gu Hanye smiled faintly: "Thank you uncle for your compliment."

Saying that, he put his hand on Su Jiuyao's waist, and pulled her into his arms again.

Afterwards, led by the two hosts, they passed through the porch and walked towards the banquet hall where the reception was held.

Because Gu Hanye hugged him too tightly, Su Jiuyao couldn't help but glared at him, and twisted her body uncomfortably.

Just now when Li Shan praised her for being beautiful, Gu Hanye hugged her, as if to declare his sovereignty.

Su Jiuyao couldn't help but wonder, is Gu Hanye too savage, even if the elders praised her, would he protect her as tightly as he protects food?

Gu Hanye seemed to have seen through her thoughts, a little two steps behind Li Shan, and whispered in Jiuyao's ear: "This uncle is more lustful, you'd better be careful when you're in his territory."
