Three days later, the enterprise exchange meeting led by the Rongcheng government was held as scheduled in a five-star hotel.

It happened to be a working day, so in order not to delay the work of the bosses, the reception was set at [-] pm.

Shen Zhibei had originally agreed to go there with Gu Guannan at that time, but he didn't expect that before he got off work that afternoon, he was caught by an unexpected situation and had to stay and deal with it first.

Since he didn't know when it would be resolved, Shen Zhibei didn't ask Gu Guannan to wait, and asked him to go to the appointment first.

Shen Zhibei arrived at the hotel two hours later.At this time, the reception had been going on for quite a while, and the wine was in full swing.At the reception, cups of toast were mixed, the live symphony was melodious, and young men and women danced gracefully to the music on the dance floor.The well-dressed guests clinked wine glasses and exchanged greetings with smiles on their faces.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Shen Zhibei was stopped by the concierge, and Bo Xu, who was behind him, came up and took out their invitation letters.The concierge took a look at it, then bowed and politely invited the two of them in.

Shen Zhibei stood outside and looked around a few times, but didn't go in immediately.

Bo Xu followed behind him and looked around, as if looking for something.After searching for a while, he paused his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, touched Shen Zhibei's arm lightly, and pointed his right hand in a certain direction to signal him: "Boss and the others are there."

Shen Zhibei's gaze had already stopped in the direction of Bo Xu's finger, and he had obviously seen it, but Gu Guannan was talking to someone else, so he didn't go over.When that person left, he raised his leg and walked over.However, just as he was about to walk in front of Gu Guannan, he stopped suddenly and pulled Bao Xu back.

Bo Xu walked behind him, and was grabbed by him without seeing anything, stopped and turned his face to look at him in puzzlement.

The corners of Shen Zhibei's mouth curled up slowly, but the smile on his face was inexplicably cool.

Bao Xu was surprised, followed his gaze, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face was first shocked and then gradually sympathized.He glanced calmly at Shen Zhibei who was at the side, and as expected, he saw that the smile on the other side's face was a little brighter than before, but he couldn't feel any warmth.

Bo Xu lowered his head and mourned silently for his boss in his heart.

Not far away, a young and beautiful woman walked up to Gu Guannan swayingly, lightly touched the wine glass with him, pressed her red lips to the rim of the glass and took a sip, then smiled charmingly at Gu Guannan, and met him face to face We started talking.

Gu Guannan, who has always refused people thousands of miles away, unexpectedly did not show the slightest bit of impatience, his attitude was even mild, his entire brows and eyes were stretched, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Bo Xu glanced at the two people who were chatting happily not far away, and then sneaked a glance at Shen Zhibei who was at the side.The expression on Shen Zhibei's face at this moment should be defined as jealousy.

Bo Xu sympathized with his boss in his heart, and at the same time was happy for his boss. After all, Shen Zhibei's displeasure meant that he cared about him, which was a good thing.If Shen Zhibei was still indifferent when he saw his boss chatting with a glamorous beauty, then his boss would really want to hide and cry.

Bao Xu lowered his head and snickered, thinking that the boss would be happy to see Shen Zhibei's expression now, so in order to make his boss even happier, he added another fire to the tense situation.

He leaned over to Shen Zhibei and explained in a low voice: "That is the daughter of the CEO of Cheng Yuan Construction, Miss Cheng Xinyi, who just graduated from a prestigious American school this year and took over Cheng Yuan Construction three months ago. It took a month to get the unanimous approval of Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan's boss has always been proud of this daughter, and everyone praises her, and praises her like nothing in the sky."

When Bo Xu introduced, his eyes were fixed on Shen Zhibei's expression the whole time.Although Shen Zhibei has been trying his best to make himself look nonchalant, he still cares a little in his heart, and this concern is honestly reflected on his face.

His tone was a little sour, and he asked Bo Xu, "Does your boss know her?"

Bo Xu nodded, and said: "The Gu family and the Cheng family are family friends. It is said that the boss's mother and the Cheng family's wife were close friends in the boudoir. They have a very good relationship, and the two families have frequent exchanges. In addition..." As he spoke, Bo Xu fell silent, hesitating whether to continue or not.

Shen Zhibei turned around and looked at him with a smile: "It's all about this, how about finishing it in one breath?"

Bo Xu lowered his head, mourned for his boss in his heart for a few more seconds, and continued cooperatively, "I heard that when Mrs. Gu was alive, she originally wanted to match up the children of the two families with Mrs. Cheng."

The corners of Shen Zhibei's mouth raised a little more, with such an expression as expected.

At this time, a waiter passed by them with a tray. Shen Zhibei reached out for a glass of red wine, raised his head and took a big sip before regaining his composure, and then asked, "And then? Why didn't it work?"

Bo Xu finally realized that the power of his life and death was still in Gu Guannan's hands. If Gu Guannan had a hard time, he, a solicitor, would not be comfortable, so he hurried back to make up for it: "Of course it's because the boss doesn't like Miss Cheng anymore. The only one who has tempted the boss over the years is you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Zhibei turned his face away, stared at him for a while, and said slowly: "The truth."

"..." Assistant Bo was defeated, and told him honestly, "I also heard from Butler Wu that the wife and Mrs. Cheng's car accident happened not long after they had this idea. Then... Ms. Cheng heard that the boss's leg was injured, and she might not be able to stand up in the future. After that, she never visited the boss. She went to study abroad in the second year and came back this year. After the wife left, the relationship between the two families has also changed. Began to gradually alienate, and in recent years, except for official cooperation, there has been no private contact."

Shen Zhibei swayed the red wine lightly, his emotions were calm throughout the whole process, but he slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard that Ms. Chen went abroad to study, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bo Xu couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart, but for the safety of himself and his boss, he still explained thoughtfully: "Mr. Shen, the boss is probably talking about business with Ms. Cheng. Cheng Yuan has a cooperation project, and Ms. Cheng is the person in charge, so she has been in frequent contact with the boss these days. Don't worry, the boss loves you to death and doesn't look down on others."

Shen Zhibei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass, then put the empty wine glass into Bao Xu's hand, and walked towards the two people who were still immersed in the conversation .

Although Gu Guannan was talking to Cheng Xinyi on the surface, he was actually a little absent-minded, his mind was full of Shen Zhibei who had not arrived yet, so he didn't listen carefully to Cheng Xinyi's words.As for the gentle look on Bo Xu's and the others' eyes, it wasn't because of Cheng Xinyi, it was purely because he suddenly remembered every detail of being with Shen Zhibei at that time.

Perhaps even Gu Guannan didn't realize it, as long as he thought of Shen Zhibei, his whole person would become soft from the inside out as if uncontrollably, revealing an expression defined as gentleness.

Before Shen Zhibei appeared, there were no people or things in this world that could make him treat him tenderly, so he was as cold as ice from the heart to the outside, and because of the "brilliant deeds" he was pasted as A dangerous and terrifying expression gradually changed to one that no one dared to approach.

But since Shen Zhibei appeared, under Shen Zhibei's love and influence, he gradually took off his defenses, and the hostility in his body disappeared a lot.Especially after standing up again, the temperament of his body has undergone a complete change, and the handsome face that was once buried by gloom finally showed its original charm.

Gu Guannan didn't know that since the news of his legs recovering had spread throughout the upper circles in Rongcheng, he had become the No. 1 husband candidate in the minds of all rich ladies.

Cheng Xinyi was among them.

While talking to Gu Guannan, Cheng Xinyi quietly looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her.He and Gu Guannan had known each other since they were very young, and until they were 15 years old, because of the relationship between the two families, the two of them had frequent contacts, so they could be called childhood sweethearts.

Cheng Xinyi knew early on that the two parents intended to match her and Gu Guannan.

At that time, Gu Guannan was still a carefree and sunny boy with a gentle personality, and he always treated Cheng Xinyi as his younger sister.Although the two children would often be alone because of their parents' intentional matchmaking, Gu Guannan was a playful person at the time, so he often took Cheng Xinyi to his room, turned on the TV and found a girly anime for her to watch, and then took care of himself. Concentrating on tinkering with airplane models, even the most basic communication is seldom.

Cheng Xinyi was recalling the events of her childhood, and only belatedly realized that what Gu Guannan did to her was the most typical behavior of a straight man.

Under such circumstances, and because the two children were not very old at that time, Cheng Xinyi had no other thoughts about Gu Guannan.But even so, she did not reject the intention of the two elders to match them up.

Cheng Xinyi has matured earlier than ordinary children since she was a child. When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she already understood that in a family like theirs, marriage and love serve the development of the family, so she also deeply understood that if she can be with Gu Guannan in the future Getting married, given the status of the Gu family in Rongcheng, this marriage is beneficial to both herself and the Gu family.

Later, the two children grew up a bit, Gu Guannan became more and more outstanding, and the attributes of a campus male god began to appear. Cheng Xinyi's feelings for Gu Guannan also gradually changed, and the future of the two of them also changed from the original. Non-resistance gradually turned into anticipation.

But not long after she first fell in love with Gu Guannan, something happened to the Gu family.A sudden car accident not only took away the head mother of the Gu family on the spot, but also took away Gu Guannan's legs.

When Cheng Xinyi heard that Gu Guannan might not be able to stand up on her legs and hands for the rest of her life, the first thought that flashed through her mind was - she couldn't marry a useless person.

Later, she followed her parents to the hospital to visit Gu Guannan, who was injured and hospitalized. When she saw Gu Guannan, who was described as decadent, with dim eyes and lifeless like a puppet with broken strings, she became more determined. this engagement.

At that time, Cheng Xinyi was only 15 years old. No matter how precocious she was, she was still a child who hadn't grown up. It is unacceptable for a man with a disabled leg to push him a wheelchair for a lifetime and feel collapsed.

Just at that time, Cheng's father, who was eager to love his daughter, was not willing to marry his daughter to a useless person, so he agreed in a hurry.Since the two children are still young, the marriage of the two families has always been talked about verbally by the parents of the two families, and has not been formally settled, which saves them a lot of trouble.

It just so happened that the Gu family was troubled at that time, and they couldn't take care of themselves, so they prepared to deal with this matter coldly, and then reduced their contacts with the Gu family, and even sent their daughter to study abroad in the second year, as if nothing had happened.At that time, Gu Zhixing happened to be in harmony with his lover and his son, who had just entered the door. He almost forgot about Gu Guannan's son, and it was even more impossible to remember the casual marriage.

So after so many years, except for the Cheng and Gu family, almost no one knew that Miss Cheng and Gu Guannan were almost engaged.

Although Cheng Xinyi has been abroad for these years, she doesn't know much about Rongcheng, and her impression of Gu Guannan is still more than ten years ago.

So when she returned to China to take over her family's company, she deliberately avoided contact with Gu Guannan, for fear that the Gu family would suddenly remember the engagement many years ago and force her to marry Gu Guannan.As a result, a week ago, she had to meet Gu Guannan because of business in the company, but she was shocked to find that Gu Guannan stood up, not only became healthy and healthy, but even more handsome and charming than she remembered. He captured her heart in an instant.

How much Cheng Xinyi hated this marriage in the past, but now she desires it so much.So during these days, she often used business as an excuse to ask Gu Guannan to meet. Before each meeting, she would dress up carefully, hoping to attract Gu Guannan's attention.It's a pity that Gu Guannan's attitude is very cold every time, and when it comes to work, he doesn't recognize his relatives, and he doesn't notice anything else at all.

Knowing that Gu Guannan would also attend the reception, Cheng Xinyi started preparing for it almost a week ago.For tonight's reception, it can be said that she did her best. She specially wore a very sexy evening dress, and her face makeup was thicker than usual. Once she appeared, she became the focus of the audience without any surprise.

It's a pity that even so, Gu Guannan was still absent-minded when talking to her, and he didn't even linger on her for a second.

Cheng Xinyi was a little disappointed, she lowered her head and shook her lower lip slightly, complaining secretly in her heart - still such a straight man after all these years.But she was unwilling to let her give up just like that, so she refused to leave all the time.

Cheng Xinyi raised her head again, glanced at the young woman who was staring at them ready to move all around, and sneered in her heart, stretched out her left hand and gracefully pulled the broken hair on her cheek behind her ear, with a gentle smile, Seeing that Gu Guannan was unwilling to talk about work, he chatted with him about the past.

"Do you remember when we were kids?"

As expected, Gu Guannan's attention was attracted by her, he raised his head and glanced indifferently, but did not answer, and waited patiently for her to continue.

Cheng Xinyi leaned back, gently leaned against the wall behind her, curled her red lips, and said reminiscently: "When I was young, my parents often took me to your house to play, and Aunt Gu always would Let you take me to your room to play, and then you will take me to your room, put me in front of the TV, show me cartoons, and you will assemble the model by yourself."

Gu Guannan frowned slightly, as if he was remembering, after thinking for a while to confirm that there was such a thing, he nodded his head, hummed lightly, and didn't intend to answer the conversation.

The smile on Cheng Xinyi's face couldn't hold back. In order to hide her embarrassment, she took a sip of the wine and said jokingly, "You probably never know how helpless I was. Take the girl to your room to play and let her alone Watching TV, you are enjoying yourself. I just thought that such a straight man would never find a girlfriend in the future."

Gu Guannan was not angry, but raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the word girlfriend, and said indifferently, "I don't need it."

Cheng Xinyi was secretly happy, but she continued to remain indifferent on the surface, pretending to be casual and asked, "Is it possible that you don't have a girlfriend?"

Gu Guannan shook his head.

Cheng Xinyi was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth began to rise involuntarily. She quickly lowered her head, thinking about how to calmly lead the topic to the doll kiss, when she heard a strange voice faintly behind the two of them.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a boyfriend."
