From the moment the woman in pink deliberately fell down the stairs and pulled off Second Miss Gu's mask, Ling Han was certain that this woman in pink was not Ye Huanyan.
Even though she looked 70% similar to Ye Huanyan.
He was prepared to leave immediately, but the woman on the stairs, who had almost become a laughing stock, slowly raised her head. In that moment, his soul seemed to be drawn into her eyes.
This Second Miss Gu gave him a very mysterious sense of familiarity. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he couldn't help but walk out of the crowd and put his hand on her shoulder. He couldn't help but dance with her.
"If Sir didn't wear a mask, would you also stare at a woman like this?"
She asked.
Under the mask, Ling Han's gaze froze. He felt inexplicably flustered, and a sense of guilt spread in his heart. He couldn't explain what he was thinking, but when he opened his mouth, he said in a gentle voice, "You're the first."
The moment he said those words, he couldn't believe it himself.
She laughed. Her laughter was wanton, and before he could react, she leaned against his chest and breathed softly, "Then I'm really honored."
Ling Han was dazed for a moment. He stepped on a few wrong steps, and relied on her to regain the right rhythm.
He tried to find a topic to talk about. "Second Miss Gu, why aren't you wearing a mask?"
She blinked, and there seemed to be shooting stars in her eyes. "I'm wearing one. Didn't you see it?"
There was a strange fragrance on her body. He seemed to have smelled it somewhere before. It made him yearn for it in every way possible. He couldn't bear to part with it, and lingered on it in every way possible. When he panicked again, he actually allowed her to hook her arms around his neck and plant a kiss on his lips through the mask.
After the song ended, her dress fluttered and spun around. She floated away from his embrace and control. The moment she looked back, she flashed a seductive smile at him. Then, she lifted her dress and disappeared into the crowd.
She left behind a lingering scent on his hand.
This woman's ability to seduce men was top-notch. Or rather, her ability to seduce him was top-notch. His heart trembled. This was something that had never happened before.
He thought that there would be more, but Second Miss Gu didn't show her face until the end of the dance.
It was like a dream, an ambiguous and lively dream.
Gu Sinian was drinking with Gu Heng upstairs. It was a rare occasion, and also a rare time for the father and son to relax.
It was not difficult to tell from Gu Ling's weathered face that he had once been handsome, which did not diminish his son's appearance and demeanor. His every movement exuded the aura of a refined and mature man.
"Why didn't you come back earlier to tell us about your sister's successful surgery? You made your mommy worry for nothing the whole night."
"What is she worried about?"
Gu Sinian picked up his red wine glass indifferently. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the crowd on the dance floor downstairs. The person chosen by Ye Huanyan was standing alone in the middle, seemingly at a loss.
The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a devilish smile. Gu Ling sighed behind him. "Isn't it because she's worried about those rumors? For five years in a row, Nian Nian has been masquerading. The outside world has already spread rumors about your sister. Previously, your mommy wanted to arrange for Yan Yan to meet the eldest young master of the Zhao family. She probably heard some rumors. Your Uncle Zhao called me the day before yesterday and said that his son already has a girlfriend outside. Isn't that funny?"
"You and my mom don't have to worry." Gu Sinian raised his eyebrows and turned around. "Zhao Bo isn't good enough for Yan Yan."
Gu Ming snorted coldly and gently shook his red wine glass. He said proudly, "Of course, even if Old Zhao says that his son has kept his chastity for more than 30 years, my daughter won't marry into his family. My daughter is worthy of the Eastern European royal family."
Gu Sinian was a little speechless. That wasn't what he meant.
However, it was rare for the old man to be so happy today. He drank a few more glasses of wine and started to talk nonsense. Wasn't it just a successful surgery? Did he have to be so happy?
As they were talking, Ye Huanyan pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she happily called out to Gu Ling, "Dad."
Gu Ming leaned against the sofa, his face slightly drunk. "Yan Yan, I'll let you marry into the Eastern European royal family, okay?"
Ye Huanyan's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise and she looked at Gu Sinian in surprise.
"You drank too much." Gu Sinian waved his hand. "Where's Mommy? I think I'll have to ask her to come over and take Dad home early."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan smiled helplessly. She turned and squeezed out a hot towel from the bathroom and handed it to Gu Ling to wipe his face.
Gu Ling just stared at Ye Huanyan and smiled very lovingly. "Dad, what are you so happy about?" Ye Huanyan took the towel and wiped his hands for him.
Gu Ling patted her hand and turned his head to say in a muffled voice, "Yan Yan, I'm very happy that you can still live a good life."
He awkwardly avoided Ye Huanyan's gaze, but his eyes met Gu Sinian's. Ever since Gu Sinian could remember, he had never seen Gu Ling so fragile in the past 40 years. In his eyes, his father was always dignified when he treated his subordinates in the company. He was always kind to the children at home and always gentle and doting to his mother. However, at this moment, his eyes were red and he clearly looked fragile.
In the 20 years that he couldn't find Ye Huanyan, he never took the initiative to mention this daughter in front of his mother. It really made Gu Sinian think that he didn't actually care about her.
In fact, a father's forbearance was as heavy as a mountain. All these years, he missed Ye Huanyan no less than his mother.
Ye Huanyan held Gu Ling's hand and said helplessly, "Dad drank too much. Why is he acting like a child?"
Wen Yi held Naonnao's hand as they walked in from outside the private room. When Naonnao saw Gu Ling, he bared his fangs and brandished his claws and jumped onto his knees. He hugged his neck and didn't let go, calling him 'Grandpa' in a very affectionate manner.
Ye Huanyan smacked his little butt. "How many times have I told you? Be gentle. Grandpa can't take you like this."
She only smacked him lightly, but Wen Yi, who was next to her, was so frightened that she yelled and pulled her away. "Aiyo, don't hit him. Your father is in good health."
Ye Huanyan sighed. "Mom, you can't spoil him like this. Boys are too naughty."
Wen Yi laughed and said, "How long do we have to live? Just let us be."
"Mom, what are you saying …"
Ye Huanyan was a little dissatisfied and glared at her.
For the past five years, she had been living in the rehabilitation center here because she needed to undergo rehabilitation in peace. During the holidays, the Gu family would come here to accompany her. Her mother was the most diligent. She would come here every few days to bring a bunch of good things for her to nourish her body. She would also tell her interesting stories when she was just born and listen to her talk about growing up all these years.
There was a strange connection between blood vessels. The mother-daughter relationship slowly flowed into their blood like a stream. It was as if they had never been apart for more than thirty years and knew each other's feelings.
Wen Yi left first with Gu Ling and Naonnao, leaving the siblings in the private room to watch the banquet and drink a little wine.
Gu Sinian held his wine glass and looked at the figure downstairs. He said meaningfully, "The person who danced with you just now looked a little familiar. Was it him?"
