Shen Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief and sneaked a peek upstairs. Fortunately, the door upstairs was tightly shut. Xiao Kong did not open the door secretly.
After that, she acted as though she did not see Gu Hecheng and walked past Gu Hecheng with a cold expression.
Because of Gu Hecheng's sudden arrival, Shen Qianqian's mood was in a mess.
She stood alone under a tree in the corner of the banquet hall and looked at the guests who were chatting and laughing in the distance. From time to time, she would raise her eyes to look upstairs.
Just as she was tired of standing and thinking about how to resolve this awkward situation, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her.
Shen Qianqian was shocked. But just as she turned around, before she could say anything, a strong hand suddenly covered her mouth.
"Oh …" Shen Qianqian's beautiful eyes flashed with fear. When she finally saw the man in front of her clearly, the fear in her eyes was finally replaced by a trace of disgust.
Shen Qianqian's behavior made Gu Hecheng very, very angry.
Am I that disgusting to you? Gu Hecheng's heart seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. He looked coldly at Shen Qianqian.
In the next second, Gu Hecheng suddenly exerted force with his other hand and pulled Shen Qianqian's waist towards him.
Shen Qianqian looked at Gu Hecheng's handsome face, which was suddenly magnified in front of her. She looked away unnaturally and struggled for a while.
But the more she struggled, the more Gu Hecheng's hand wrapped around her waist.
Under the dim light, Shen Qianqian's face seemed to be glowing. Even though her eyebrows were tightly knitted, she still revealed a charming charm.
Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He regretted not noticing it before.
"You smell so good …" Gu Hecheng moved his face closer to Shen Qianqian's neck. Shen Qianqian turned her head subconsciously, but Gu Hecheng's nose only lightly touched her smooth and fragrant skin.
At this moment, Gu Hecheng had already released his hand from Shen Qianqian's mouth. She looked disdainfully at the grass beside her and said in a voice laced with disgust, "Let go of me. What are you doing? This is a public place."
Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian's posture was extremely ambiguous. Her soft body seemed to stir up some kind of restlessness in his heart, but her words seemed to be able to easily touch his reverse scale, causing him to be instantly aroused and unable to control his emotions.
"Anyway, you're my ex-wife. Two people who are divorced will more or less have a messy relationship that can't be severed. You can ask who would be willing to interfere." Gu Hecheng suddenly curved his lips and forcefully pulled Shen Qianqian into his arms. He deliberately blew his hot breath on her neck with a hint of amusement and teasing. "Perhaps even if they saw it, they would pretend not to see it."
At first, Shen Qianqian thought that Gu Hecheng only wanted to secretly say a few words to her, so he probably would not care about what others thought of him. But after hearing what he said, she realized that Gu Hecheng was determined to embarrass her from the beginning and did not care about what others thought of him.
Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Hecheng. She knew that it was impossible for her to force him to back off with words, so she could only start to push him with her own hands.
"Gu Hecheng, I'm not in the mood to joke with you here." Shen Qianqian glared at him angrily. She stretched out her foot and wanted to step on his foot, but he was extremely quick-witted and dodged.
Just as Shen Qianqian lowered her head and struggled with all her might, Gu Hecheng suddenly moved closer to her on purpose.
"Shen Qianqian, you don't have to struggle anymore. I'm here today to ask you a few questions."
Gu Hecheng's sudden words attracted Shen Qianqian's attention. But what she did not expect was that when she raised her head, Gu Hecheng's thin and sexy lips brushed across her cheek coolly.
Shen Qianqian was surprised to see that Gu Hecheng had remained in this position without moving. She was surprised to see that Gu Hecheng had not moved at all.
Not only that, when Shen Qianqian deliberately turned her head to avoid him, his gaze was playful and he wanted to continue to move closer to her.
Shen Qianqian finally could not help but say coldly, "Mr. Gu, I still hope that you will respect yourself."
"Just as you said just now, yes, we are divorced, but don't forget that you are now engaged. If it weren't for the fact that this is a private banquet, would Mr. Gu want your love affair to make the headlines?"
Shen Qianqian's cold words made Gu Hecheng feel uncomfortable and he narrowed his eyes.
He had to admit that the more indifferent Shen Qianqian was to him, the more he could not stop himself.
But even so, Gu Hecheng's rationality told him that Shen Qianqian was right. After all, they were not in a private room. If someone took a picture of them and used it to make an issue out of it, it would indeed be troublesome.
Gu Hecheng suddenly let go of Shen Qianqian's hand, which somewhat surprised her.
She had just steadied herself and immediately walked away, wanting to disappear from his sight. However, Gu Hecheng seemed to want to go against her and called out to her.
"Stop right there!" Gu Hecheng quickly walked in front of her and blocked her way. "I already said that I have something to ask you today."
"What do you want to ask?" Shen Qianqian answered instinctively. However, when she saw Gu Hecheng's serious and serious eyes, she could not help but feel shocked. It was as if she was afraid that he would speak.
Gu Hecheng looked at Shen Qianqian without moving. It was as if he was trying not to miss any of her movements.
Shen Qianqian raised her head and looked at him uneasily. She also wanted to see something from his gaze. However, when she stared into his dark eyes, she could not see anything.
Since she could not see anything, Shen Qianqian immediately came back to her senses and tried not to let herself fall into his trap.
Have we ever had a child before?
Have we ever given birth to a child?
If so, how old is the child?
In his mind, he was surprised to see Xiao Kong's silhouette.
He really wanted to ask Shen Qianqian these questions. However, when the words reached the tip of his tongue, Gu Hecheng did not know how to ask Shen Qianqian these questions.
At this moment, Gu Hecheng finally realized how much he had done to Shen Qianqian in the past five years.
"I …"
"President Gu, there you are."
Before Gu Hecheng could say anything, Hu Shuli interrupted him. He frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips.
Hu Shuli purposely stood in front of Shen Qianqian and gave her a look. She wanted her to leave first.
However, these little actions did not escape Gu Hecheng's eyes. He smiled coldly and stepped forward to ask Hu Shuli, "Speaking of which, I have a question for President Hu."
"Where is that child called Xiao Kong? Isn't he your relative's child? Why didn't I see him at the birthday party today?" Although Gu Hecheng was speaking to Hu Shuli, his gaze was on Shen Qianqian as he sized her up carefully.
When Shen Qianqian heard Gu Hecheng say Xiao Kong's name, she felt her heart skip a beat.
If the lighting was not so dim, one could probably see her pale face at this moment.
Shen Qianqian turned her head to the side to hide her panic. Fortunately, her face was turned sideways, so Gu Hecheng could not see her expression clearly.
"Ah, that child is already asleep. He is not with me." Hu Shuli smiled awkwardly. "President Gu, aren't you here to celebrate Old Lin's birthday? Why are you asking about the child?"
"President Gu, let's go. Old Lin hopes to have a few more drinks with you." Hu Shuli made an inviting gesture in front of Gu Hecheng. Gu Hecheng could not refuse, so he could only silently glance at Shen Qianqian before he left.
The moment Gu Hecheng left, Shen Qianqian felt her legs give way and she almost fell.
She hurriedly held onto a nearby tree trunk, and only then was she able to stabilize her footing.
Shen Qianqian bit her lip tightly with her pearly white teeth. She lifted her head to look at the dark room on the second floor. Her heart was beating like thunder.
As expected, she had attracted Gu Hecheng's attention. Would he really find out something?
No, she had to become stronger so that he would not be able to snatch Xiao Kong away so easily.
Shen Qianqian lifted her head to look at the room, but she did not know that there was a pair of eyes shining like stars in the dark night looking at her in the room.
Xiao Kong felt bored just now, so he told the butler that he wanted to go to the window to take a look.
However, just as he stood by the window, he saw the long-legged uncle and his mother standing together. They seemed to be talking about something. Judging from their expressions, they did not seem to mind that they were strangers.
Because of this scene, Xiao Kong was even more certain that Shen Qianqian had indeed lied to him. He began to speculate about the relationship between Shen Qianqian and Gu Hecheng.
Actually, if he had known that he would be able to see more intimate actions between the two of them earlier, perhaps he would not be as troubled as he was now. Instead, he would have gained the upper hand in the confrontation between Shen Qianqian and Shen Qianqian.
The birthday party finally ended. When Hu Shuli confirmed that Gu Hecheng had left, she told Shen Qianqian and watched as she and Xiao Kong left in Mo Yanfan's car.
After returning to the small villa, Xiao Kong could not help but ask, "Mom, can I ask you a question?"
Shen Qianqian was walking upstairs with Xiao Kong. She was also curious about the question that Xiao Kong could not wait to ask. "Okay, go ahead."
Xiao Kong, who had been following her step by step, had already reached the door. However, he did not take the next step. Instead, he stood in front of the door and asked, "Mom, do you really not know Uncle Gu? But I clearly saw you talking to Uncle Gu through the window today. It doesn't seem like you don't know him."
"Huh?" Shen Qianqian, who was about to open the door, suddenly trembled. She did not expect Xiao Kong to see it.
Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth, turned around, and asked guiltily, "Xiao Kong, what did you see?"
