Gu Yusheng was surprisingly patient this time. He didn't rush her, nor did he show any signs of impatience. After he pressed the button for the elevator, he reached out his hand to block the door of the elevator when it was about to close. He didn't step in until she entered the elevator.
When they arrived at the floor where the party was to be held, Gu Yusheng let her out first. This time, he didn't walk in a hurry like he had done upstairs. Instead, he followed her footsteps, slowed down, and unhurriedly stepped into the banquet hall.
There were many people at the banquet, so they had to socialize.
The Gu Family had some reputation in the business circle in Beijing, so there was an endless stream of people who came to greet Gu Yusheng.
Qin Zhi 'ai was afraid that she would accidentally make trouble and embarrass Gu Yusheng. If she angered him, she would be the one to suffer in the end, so no matter how painful her stomach was, she always had a smile on her face. She stood beside him politely, holding his arm, and acted as a beautiful and perfect foil.
Even when she clinked glasses with others and drank with them, even if the wine was cold, she would still take a few sips.
Fortunately, when Gu Yusheng had been alone at the banquet, he had greeted many people. Perhaps the continuous socializing had made him a little tired. After greeting Mr. Zhang, who had recently worked with him, he went around to the lounge area and sat down next to Lu Bancheng, who was chatting with other people.
There were many people gathered at that table, both men and women.
Except for Lu Bancheng and Wu Hao, whom Qin Zhi 'ai was familiar with, she had seen the rest of them. They were the people who usually hung out with Gu Yusheng.
After Gu Yusheng sat down, he took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table. After he put it in his mouth, he reached for his lighter.
The lighter was a little far from him, so he couldn't reach it. Qin Zhi 'ai, who was sitting next to him, reached for it. When she handed it to him, he didn't take it. Instead, he moved closer to her with the cigarette in his mouth.
Qin Zhi 'ai understood what he meant. Because of the pain in her abdomen, she pressed the lighter several times before it lit up. Then she reached out to his cigarette.
Qin Zhi 'ai took a puff and put the lighter on the table. She was at her limit. She was afraid that if she continued to sit with him, she would expose herself because of the pain, so she whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Gu Yusheng was smoking. When he heard what she said, he nodded and took the cigarette out of his mouth with his fingers. After blowing out a cloud of messy smoke, he said to her, "Go ahead."
…
When Qin Zhi 'ai had been with Gu Yusheng, she had noticed that there was a door at the northernmost part of the banquet hall. After exiting the door, they walked down the stairs about ten steps to a small balcony.
It was summer, so it was a little hot outside. Almost no one went there, so she pretended to go to the bathroom with his permission. When she was out of his sight, she turned to the small balcony.
