"What's she doing in Lan Jiang? Looking for you? "
Gu Sinian furrowed his brows. "She came with her family."
"She's home?" Ye Huanyan was stunned. "How could she be willing to?"
Gu Sinian had a complicated look in his eyes.
Before Ye Huanyan could ask Gu Duo the purpose of her visit, a figure darted through the entrance of Peony Hall. It was Gu Chi. He hurried over to Ye Huanyan. "Second Miss, Miss Ji is looking for you outside. It looks like she's coming here. We haven't finished decorating yet, right?"
"I'll go out and delay her. You guys hurry."
Ye Huanyan hurriedly lifted the corner of her dress and walked towards the door.
When she exited Peony Hall, she happened to see Ji Xiaoyue walking over. As she walked, she pointed in confusion behind Ye Huanyan. "What are you doing in here? What's so fun about it? "
Ye Huanyan held her hand and forcibly pulled her in the direction of the hall. "Nothing much. I was looking for the restroom. I've been looking for it for a long time."
"It just so happens that I need to use the restroom too." As she spoke, Ji Xiaoyue tried to break free from her hand and walk towards Peony Hall.
"Hey, don't go. There's a queue for the restroom over there. Let's go there."
Ye Huanyan hurriedly pulled her and spun her around before dragging her towards the hall.
Ji Xiaoyue was a big-hearted person. She didn't sense anything wrong and let her drag her along.
There was always a long queue in front of the ladies' restroom, but the men's restroom was always empty. It seemed to be an iron law that couldn't be broken, even at such a grand anniversary celebration.
After sending Ji Xiaoyue into the restroom, Ye Huanyan sat on the sofa near the restroom. On one hand, she was waiting for her to come out. On the other hand, she was waiting for Gu Chi to give her a signal so that she could prepare to lead Ji Xiaoyue out.
The banquet had started a long time ago. When Ling Han walked in front of her with a glass of champagne, she was eating a small piece of cake with her head lowered. She had been busy with her makeup and hair since noon, so she didn't have time to eat. So now that she finally had time to eat something, she cherished it very much.
She thought that Ling Han, as the CEO of Pleasure, would be so busy that his feet wouldn't touch the ground. but when she saw his relaxed expression, Ye Huanyan couldn't help but look surprised.
"You're waiting for someone?"
Ling Han asked.
"I'm not waiting for you."
After Ye Huanyan said this, she felt like she had exposed herself. She clearly wasn't waiting for him. There was a ladies' restroom nearby, so she didn't need to explain to know that he was waiting for his female companion. With this explanation, she felt like she was making things worse.
Thus, her expression immediately changed. She turned her head unnaturally and avoided his gaze.
Ling Han didn't seem to notice. He sat down on the sofa next to her. His long legs were squeezed between the coffee table and the sofa, and he looked like he had nowhere to sit.
He didn't say anything, but Ye Huanyan couldn't sit still. She asked hesitantly, "Pleasure is celebrating its anniversary. As the CEO, don't you need to entertain the guests?"
Ling Han raised his head and looked at her. "There are plenty of people in the company to entertain the guests. Besides, these people aren't just here for Pleasure's anniversary celebration. The business cocktail party is just a large-scale corporate networking event held for seemingly legitimate reasons."
Of course, the organizer had to get to know all the guests and wasn't in such a hurry to interact with them.
For example, Ling Han.
The phone flashed with a signal that it was ready. Ye Huanyan glanced at it and put the phone back into her handbag.
"Is Gu Sinian ready?" Ling Han glanced at her hand from the corner of his eye. His expression was indifferent.
Ye Huanyan was stunned for a moment, but she wasn't very surprised.
They were borrowing the venue of the hotel where he was holding the anniversary celebration. Gu Sinian naturally had to inform him beforehand. There was quite a commotion in the Peony Hall, so it was normal for a meticulous person like him to know what was going on inside.
"Yes." She nodded and zipped up her handbag as if nothing had happened. "I think I should go."
"You're not waiting for Chief Editor Ji?"
Ling Han's tone today was formal and distant. He didn't deliberately test her feelings, which made her feel at a loss.
"Sit for a while. It just so happens that I have something to apologize to you about."
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. "What?"
"Previously, I mistook you for my wife. It was my mistake. I'm sorry."
Ye Huanyan's eyes revealed a somewhat stunned expression. She looked into Ling Han's eyes, trying to figure out something from them. Was he retreating in order to advance?
But he really did look apologetic and magnanimous. When he looked at her, he looked a little annoyed, but his expression and actions were very natural. "But I think that since President Gu is running the company so well, you shouldn't mind too much. Another day, I'll treat President Gu to a meal alone as an apology for what happened before. What do you think?"
Ye Huanyan resentfully raised her wine glass and reluctantly clinked it with his. After taking a sip, she hesitantly asked, "I'm very curious. I wonder, why did President Ling suddenly change your mind?"
"It's not really sudden. It's just that she's back."
"Who's back?" Ye Huanyan deliberately put on a nonchalant expression.
"My wife."
"What?" Ye Huanyan's face paled. At that moment, she thought that she had heard wrongly.
Until Ling Han slowly stood up and looked in the direction of the first floor, she followed his gaze and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Wearing a pink dress and holding a champagne glass, the corners of her eyes and the tips of her eyebrows were smiling, but if one looked closely, there was always a hint of gloominess in this smile. The noble temperament that she had cultivated since young made her look natural and unrestrained.
If it wasn't Gu Duo, who else could it be?
"You're saying that she … is your wife?"
"Although I'm not sure, it should be her. So I apologize for what happened before. President Gu, I hope that we can still meet and get along as normal as before."
Ye Huanyan was so angry that she was trembling. "Are you crazy? How could she be your wife? "
With that said, she lifted her dress and walked in the direction of the stairs, leaving Ling Han behind.
From the moment Gu Sinian said that Gu Duo had appeared in Lanjiang City, Ye Huanyan had a faint feeling of uneasiness. That feeling of uneasiness was released the moment she saw Gu Duo. In the past, Gu Duo was 70% similar to Ye Huanyan because of her different style of dressing and makeup.
But now, the light makeup on her face and the style of her shoulder-length hair was 90% similar to Ye Huanyan.
When she saw Ye Huanyan, she could still raise her glass to her as if nothing had happened. She smiled sweetly and said, "Long time no see, my older sister."
Ye Huanyan glanced at her in annoyance and directly pulled her into an empty private room. After shaking off her hand, she said coldly, "Don't try to get close to me. I have something to ask you."
Gu Duo lowered her head and looked at her nails, looking indifferent. "If it's about your ex-husband, I don't think there's anything to talk about."
