Gu Nian didn't realize the meaning of Lin Yichen's words for a moment.
Hasn't he seen this kind of business marriage rarely? What's there to envy?
Lin Yichen glanced at the man over there, and his strange voice sounded a little resentful, "Look, your brother is already engaged, and we don't have any need to delay it any longer. Do you think our engagement ceremony should be put on the agenda?"
Already?"
ha?
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to say that at all.
Wasn't it a joke to tell him about the engagement at that time? He deliberately said it to Lu Shiqian to make him angry. Why did he still...
Gu Nian glanced at the cold expression on Lu Shiqian's face, and for a moment he didn't know whether to say yes or no.
It's your own fault...
Gu Nian bit her lip in embarrassment, and the flickering light fell on her face, illuminating her confusion and helplessness.
She was now being stared at by two naked eyes, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!
When Lu Shiqian heard Lin Yichen's words, his eyes were raised like an eagle, staring straight at Gu Nian, "Nian Nian, do you really want to marry him?"
His tone was inexplicably low, but also revealed some unwilling determination.
Gu Nian was being stared at by Lu Shiqian and could not deny it, otherwise the matter would be revealed.
After performing a play to the end, in order not to expose any flaws, she had no choice but to nod her head, "Yes."
When Lu Shiqian heard this, he was completely heartbroken. The hole in his heart that had not yet healed seemed to begin to burn along the edges, spreading rapidly like fire oil, and was about to swallow him up.
Niannian really wants to get engaged to Lin Yichen.
This seems to have become an established fact.
Then he should be superfluous to her...
He lowered his eyes, with an unclear look of disappointment.
However, Lin Yichen couldn't restrain his ecstasy, "Then I'll ask people to start preparations when I get back, and choose a good and auspicious day according to domestic customs."
After saying that, he gave Lu Shiqian a proud look.
Lu Shiqian sensed his gaze, and the pressure around him became heavier. His eyes turned to the stage and he didn't answer any more.
Gu Nian felt embarrassed for a moment, but seeing that Lu Shiqian had turned his head, he didn't say anything more. He forced a smile and then looked at the newcomers on the stage.
After the engagement ceremony, Huo Huaijin and Duan Liya toasted with wine glasses.
The woman had a happy smile on her face, slightly red.
There was no emotion on the man's face, as calm as water.
It wasn't until he walked up to Gu Nian that his calm eyes became slightly disturbed. Duan Liya took the lead in raising her wine glass, her face unable to hide the meaning of swearing sovereignty, "Gu Nian, I'm glad you came to our engagement banquet. I
He and Ajin hope you can find your destination as soon as possible."
Her eyes glanced at the two men on the left and right, and her eyes were somewhat meaningful.
How could Gu Nian not see it?
But on a day like today, she didn't want to argue with her. She raised her wine glass and said with a smile, "I will, and I hope you and my brother can be happy."
Huo Huaijin stared at her with deep eyes for a long time, and finally picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Shiqian and Lin Yichen had similar expressions when they saw this scene. They were so bland that they couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry. After saying a few polite words, they drank a glass of wine.
Huo Huaijin's eyes were slightly glazed over, filled with countless emotions, "Let's go over there first."
Seeing several people nodding, he and Duan Liya turned and left together.
Once this stage was over, it didn't take long for the engagement party to come to an end.
Before Gu Nian could say anything, the man next to him had already stood up first, his icy aura seeming to bring a gust of cool breeze.
"you……"
"The wedding banquet is over, I'm leaving first."
Lu Shiqian's seemingly gentle voice was filled with depression. After saying this, he turned around and strode away. The slightly panicked background inexplicably revealed an unspeakable loneliness.
Gu Nian looked at the direction he was leaving, feeling her throat getting louder and her heart getting clogged.
But in this case, it was impossible for her to catch up.
It would be a good thing if we could take this opportunity to make Lu Shiqian give up and let go of the mistakes they had made.
"let's go."
Gu Nian glanced at Lin Yichen, and the two left side by side in opposite directions.
…
The marriage between the Huo Group and the Duan Family had been buzzing in the circle for several days. It was not until everyone's novelty wore off that the news gradually died down.
Gu Nian never saw them again.
No matter from which aspect, with Duan Liya's temperament, she will probably keep a distance from them in the future.
After all, she was not Huo Huaijin's biological sister, and she had a jealous sister-in-law like Duan Liya, so she consciously should stay away from them.
Things in the company have also been busy for a period. She has been very leisurely recently and is somewhat idle.
Suddenly, the doorbell of the villa rang.
Gu Nian put down the pillow in his hand and looked outside curiously.
It's Nie Xiaohan.
Why didn't she tell her that it was coming suddenly?
"Nian Nian!"
The moment she saw her, she walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, Nie Xiaohan jumped on her and gave her a warm hug, but her expression didn't look normal.
"Come in first." Gu Nian closed the door and found a new pair of slippers for her to change into. "Why did you suddenly think of running home to find me? Didn't you never come when I asked you to come before?"
Nie Xiaohan always felt that it was inconvenient for her and Lin Yichen to live together.
"Isn't this happening for a reason?"
Nie Xiaohan had a sad face and leaned into her ear mysteriously, as if she was afraid that others would hear her, "Let's go, let's go to your room and talk, I'm going to be suffocated to death!"
Seeing her panic, Gu Nian pulled her towards the living room: "What happened? Don't worry, there is no one at home today."
"No one?"
Nie Xiaohan followed her to the living room, looking around.
"No." Gu Nian was even more confused.
When did this girl become so cautious?
It's like being a thief.
Nie Xiaohan couldn't help but swallow as she stared at her, then turned around and sat down on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she took something out of her bag and handed it to Gu Nian with her head lowered.
"This is……"
Gu Nian took it suspiciously and said in surprise: "Pregnancy test stick?! You..."
She looked at the thing in her hand with wide eyes, then looked up at Nie Xiaohan, who had his head lowered in front of her, and finally focused on the two obvious red bars on the pregnancy test stick.
"Nie Xiaohan!"
This scream made the whole house tremble.
Fortunately, Lin Yichen was not at home, otherwise he would have thought something terrible had happened.
Nie Xiaohan covered her ears with her hands, glanced at her secretly, and said weakly: "Here...here."
"What's going on?!"
Gu Nian slapped the pregnancy test stick on the table, folded her hands, and stared at her without blinking, as if she didn't want to leave until she made it clear. She looked a bit fierce...
Nie Xiaohan shrank his neck, "Isn't that just...that's what happened."
