I'm at ease, is that you?

Gu Yue wore a long dress with a hollow back, which added a bit of charm to her already dignified and indifferent temperament. She loosely coiled her hair, fixed it with a hairpin with a diamond orchid pattern, and walked out of the room calmly.

Outside the door, Xu Zhengyu was wearing a neat suit, facing Sha Qianmo's ugly face with embarrassment, he looked at Gu Yue's door from time to time, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.When Gu Yue appeared in evening attire, his eyes lit up with a 'chuh'.

Xu Zhengyu walked up to Gu Yue in a few steps, looked him up and down appreciatively, and praised sincerely: "My princess, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. This outfit highlights your temperament even more. I think, tonight, you must be the most charming lady at the party, even Jin Shixuan will be compared to you."

Gu Yue accepted Xu Zhengyu's compliment with a light smile. She glanced at Sha Qianmo inadvertently, and then looked at Xu Zhengyu with a smile on her face. She raised her hand and handed Xu Zhengyu a box: "A gift."

"Gift?" Xu Zhengyu raised his eyebrows, and found the beautifully packaged box a little puzzled. As he opened it, he asked, "Why did you give me another gift?" Inside the box lay an exquisitely crafted diamond men's watch, Xu Zhengyu Pursing his lips, he looked at Gu Yue with some doubts, and took out the watch: "This is what you bought yesterday, since it was given to me, why didn't you give it to me?"

"Because some processing is needed." Xu Zhengyu, who looked at Gu Yue with a smile, put away his original Swiss watch, and took the watch she gave him to look at it carefully.

"This pattern?" Xu Zhengyu looked at the watch on his wrist and said uncertainly, "It's very special."

"Yeah, I always like to engrave patterns on the things I buy, so I gave this to you after I carved it last night." Gu Yue explained.

"That's right," Xu Zhengyu heard that this was carved for him by his princess himself, and he was a little bit flustered after receiving the gift. He bent his arms and made a 'please' gesture: "Then, I Beautiful princess, let your knight escort you and take you to the banquet."

Gu Yue smiled and took Xu Zhengyu's arm: "Then I will thank you, Zhengyu."

"It is my honor to serve Her Highness the Princess." After saying that, the two walked out of the house with smiles on their faces.

Sha Qianmo kept a gloomy face from the beginning to the end and didn't say a word. When Gu Yue and Xu Zhengyu disappeared, he fell down on the sofa as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

He understood that the reason why Yue'er gave Xu Zhengyu that watch was mainly because of the bell she gave before. In modern times, no one would wear it with them. Therefore, the formation she carved on the watch overnight last night, Yue'er, she is really protecting that man, she is guarding against herself.

Thinking of this possibility, Sha Qianmo's heart aches unbearably, isn't it, when he treated Hua Qiangu like that, Yue'er felt the same way.

When Gu Yue took Xu Zhengyu's arm and walked into the banquet hall, everyone turned their heads to look at them. She and Xu Zhengyu were already outstanding in appearance and temperament, and they walked in like a golden boy and a jade girl. Naturally, it attracts everyone's attention.

A glamorous woman in a low-cut long dress walked over with a glass of cocktail in her hand and greeted her kindly, "Zhengyu, are you here?"

"Yes, Shixuan," Xu Zhengyu nodded, handed the gift he prepared to Jin Shixuan, turned around and introduced, "Shixuan, this is," he paused, and the smile on his face widened a bit: "This is, my good friend, Gu Yue, from China."

Jin Shixuan raised her eyebrows. As a friend who has known Xu Zhengyu for many years, she naturally understood a thing or two about the pause in Xu Zhengyu's words. She greeted Gu Yue gracefully: "Hello, Miss Gu, I am Jin Shixuan, and I belong to Zhengyu," and she did the same After a pause, he said with emphasis: "Good friend."

Gu Yue replied with a smile: "Hi, I'm Gu Yue."

"Come, come, come in, I'll introduce some friends to you." As the protagonist of the banquet, Jin Shixuan, who is all-round and exquisite, naturally wouldn't let the guests stand at the door like this, so she personally brought Xu Zhengyu and Gu Yue in, He also introduced several of his acquainted friends and sponsors to them, very generous and decent.

Originally, Jin Shixuan introduced those sponsors to Xu Zhengyu and the others, mainly to Xu Zhengyu. After all, Xu Zhengyu is now the overseas director of Avenuel Hotel, and it is essential to have more contacts, but Gu Yue, she just subconsciously thinks that She is the woman Xu Zhengyu pursued these days. According to Xu Zhengyu's records in the past, it won't last long. Therefore, she is just out of respect for Gu Yue.

Jin Shixuan's idea was not wrong, and her approach was impeccable, but when someone among those sponsors recognized Gu Yue's identity, she had to be extremely surprised.

"Hello, Director Gu, I am the person in charge of HelloWelcome, and my surname is An," a sponsor took out his business card and handed it to Gu Yue respectfully, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that I would meet you on such an occasion." It's a great honor to be the chairman of the Gu's firm." The manager surnamed An knew Gu Yue because his company was recently suing through the Gu's firm, so, as the person who acquired the Min's Gu Yue, of course, did some research.

As for the other sponsors, when they saw Manager An's reaction and Gu Yue's name, and then thought of the recent news in the upper class circle, they made wild guesses about Gu Yue's identity, and handed over their business cards one after another, intending to make friends with her. some.This Gu Yue, don't look at her young age, but she was able to buy the Min family without making a fuss, and people can't find out her details. The people behind her must be very powerful.

With a decent smile on Gu Yue's face, she greeted those who came up to talk one by one. She secretly gave Xu Zhengyu a look, a little dissatisfied with the situation in front of her.

Xu Zhengyu bowed his head and coughed, pulled Jin Shixuan with a smile, and begged in her ear: "Shixuan, I brought my princess here to play, you can't push so many people to my princess," said After that, he gently sent Jin Shixuan in front of those people: "I've said it, excuse me." Then he pulled Gu Yue away from the place of right and wrong.

Xu Zhengyu pulled Gu Yue to the dance floor, hugged and danced lightly to the rhythm of the music, with an apologetic expression on his face: "Princess, I'm sorry, I never thought that bringing you here to relax would make you unhappy." .”

Gu Yue shook her head, and looked at the so-called Xue Gongcan's 'cousin' not far away, who was chomping away, with a face full of indifference: "It doesn't matter, when the Min's was acquired, this situation was already expected, and now it's just It just happened." She frowned, looked at the female ghost who was still standing behind Zhu Yulin, and pointed her eyes to the other side: "Isn't that Xue Gongcan's newly found cousin? Why are you eating there by yourself?"

Xu Zhengyu followed Gu Yue's eyes and frowned, as if thinking of something, his face was a little unnatural: "No, Gong Chan has something to do today, she came here by herself."

"Really?" Gu Yue raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xu Zhengyu with some ambiguity: "But your face doesn't say that."

Xu Zhengyu pursed his lips, and still said the matter: "Originally, Gongcan's grandfather asked me to bring Zhu Yulin here. He wanted to match Yulin and me, but," he looked at Gu Yue Looking at her face, she found that she didn't show any abnormalities, and felt a little disappointed: "It's just that she is really not suitable for me. Now it seems that she is really, quite vulgar."

Gu Yue raised her eyes, looked at Xu Zhengyu's disgusted eyes, and said amusedly: "I thought, this kind of unique beauty can arouse Zhengyu's interest even more?"

When Xu Zhengyu heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he retorted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, princess, you should know that what I do to you..."

"Zhengyu, I'm tired and want to take a rest." Gu Yue interrupted Xu Zhengyu, turned and left the dance floor.

Xu Zhengyu's eyes darkened, and he was a little lost at Gu Yue's reaction. Then, he cheered himself up and encouraged himself that his princess is not such an ordinary woman who is easy to chase. Then, he smiled again and chased after her. out.

Outside the banquet hall, Gu Yue found an open-air balcony, leaned on the railing, looked at the stars in the night sky, and breathed a sigh of relief. She understood what Xu Zhengyu said just now, and she could see clearly Xu Zhengyu's attitude towards her. She doesn't care whether Xu Zhengyu is a playboy or not, and she doesn't care how long Xu Zhengyu's fascination can last this time. What she can't let go of is her own heart. She no longer has the courage to be in love with her, love, and a joke with her, so, Xu Zhengyu, she can be friends with him, but she can't keep him in the scope of love.

"Why are you standing here alone?" Xu Zhengyu put his suit jacket on Gu Yue's body: "Seoul is still very cold at night, be careful of getting sick."

"Xu Zhengyu," Gu Yue turned her head and looked at Xu Zhengyu's smiling face: "Your appearance is the type I like," she said, looking at Xu Zhengyu's eyes that lit up because of her words, she also hooked the corners of her mouth: "You should have seen the man who lives in my house, you and him are the same type."

Xu Zhengyu frowned, the mood that was originally happy because of being praised suddenly became bad.

"However," Gu Yue put away her smile and looked at her with some seriousness: "I don't love him anymore," she nodded, seeing Xu Zhengyu's sad face, she emphasized: "Yes, I don't love him anymore I used to love him very much, but now, I don't want to see him at all." She turned her head, looked at the night sky, and sighed: "Xu Zhengyu, I don't want love anymore."

Xu Zhengyu frowned, his eyes gradually became disappointed, he looked at Gu Yue's extraordinarily petite figure in his coat, and felt distressed again: "My princess, if, she disappoints you, Also please don't be disappointed in love." He held Gu Yue's shoulders, pulled her over, and faced him with a serious face: "If he can't, just stand by my side and just look at me, can't you?"

Gu Yue looked at Xu Zhengyu's distressed and firm eyes, as if she saw her back then: "Xu Zhengyu, do you know how much I loved him back then? Do you know how much I did for him back then? You Do you know what kind of person I am?" Her eyes changed from indifferent to gloomy: "If your heart is moved by the princess in your heart who is ignorant of the world but smart and kind, then you have found the wrong person Yes," she smiled lightly, but she was even more dismissive than the previous light smile: "You keep calling me a princess, but Xu Zhengyu, let me tell you, I am not a princess, if you insist on giving me a If you want to be called, then I can only be the king." Seeing Xu Zhengyu's expression gradually becoming unbelievable, she continued: "Standing on countless corpses, looking at the dead bones under my feet, I sat on the throne with a smile. "

"You," Xu Zhengyu unconsciously let go of his hand, and took two steps back: "Princess, you..."

"That princess is only in your imagination, but I have changed from the original queen to the current king," Gu Yue slowly pulled down the suit jacket on her body: "Xu Zhengyu, please see clearly, Little White Rabbit, it has never been me. It is my business to fight thousands of miles without seeing blood. Doesn't the matter of the Min family give you any ideas? Or," she paused, as if thinking of it The corners of her lips curled up again: "You knew it a long time ago, but you just didn't dare to admit it." She held the coat with one hand, and when she let go, the coat fell to the ground: "Then I will tell you, the reason why I To buy the Min family, but in the past, I had a dispute with the eldest lady of the Min family, Min Ruixian, and since she relied on the Min family to order me, I will destroy what she relies on," she looked at Xu Zhengyu incredulously. Suddenly, she felt ironic: "So, I don't need any romantic love. I have already given up on love." After finishing speaking, she passed Xu Zhengyu's side.

After all, she has changed. It is impossible for her to live a pure and happy life like before. A hundred years of calculations have filled her body with conspiracy and trajectory. She can't afford this kind of pure and beautiful feelings.

Xu Zhengyu stood alone on the balcony for a long time. Knowing that the night wind had woken him up, he unconsciously shuddered and woke up. He looked at the coat lying quietly on the ground and smiled wryly: "Xu Zhengyu, Xu Zhengyu, You are really unlucky to be rejected in this way." He also looked at the stars in the night, and remembered what Gu Yue said when he passed by him just now: "The night gave me black eyes, and I didn't use them Look for the light, for I myself am the night."
