Many eyes cast upon them, Su Ni feels herself in a very awkward situation with her hand reaching halfway towards ESHINE and the latter, however, doesn’t show any sign of grabbing it. After a few seconds, she laughs embarrassingly and silently withdraws her hand.

At the side, Gu Zechen can’t bear that any longer and reminds her in a low voice. “This is my wife, Su Ni.”

“I thought it would just be her for the rest of your life. I don’t take anyone else but her.” In front of Gu Zechen, ESHINE has neither the flattery of an ordinary woman, nor the closeness and politeness of a friend. She looks arrogant and her tone will keep anyone a thousand li away. Surprisingly, Gu Zechen doesn’t even get angry.

He holds the champagne and raises his glass towards ESHINE. “Now that you’re here. Have fun.”

After saying that, he puts his arm around Su Ni’s waist and turns around to leave.

“Mr. Gu, recently we only get to see each other once in a blue moon. Can’t we talk in private?” There is ESHINE’s voice behind him.

“We can’t.” Gu Zechen doesn’t turn his head back and leaves with Su Ni quickly. Instead, Su Ni is a bit curious and looks back at ESHINE, but she quickly withdraws her gaze for she is warned by a glance from Gu Zechen.

In the lounge, Su Ni’s head is crowded with many questions, but when she sees Gu Zechen with the frowning look upon his face, who is now drinking champagne incessantly, she knows that this is not a good chance to get an explanation. Rumor has it that Gu Zechen had only one girlfriend before, who was called Xu Wan’er. This woman, ESHINE, just comes back from abroad. Could she be Guan Ning or her kind? But Gu Zechen’s attitude towards her is not as ruthless as he is towards Guan Ning.

Su Ni can’t figure it out, but she doesn’t dare to ask Gu Zechen directly.

“You don’t need to think too much. I have no relationship with this woman, and you don’t need to take care of her.” Gu Zechen seems to be able to read Su Ni’s mind and suddenly says that.

Su Ni nods quickly, followed by a stretching of her eyebrows, as if taking a sigh of relief.

Gu Zechen teasingly laughs, as if he is in a better mood now due to Su Ni’s relaxation. He asks. “Don’t you want to ask something?”

“No, I don’t.”

Su Ni shrugs her shoulders with an unconcerned look. “I believe what you say. Even if there IS something, to the best of my knowledge about you, you should have your own reasons for not exposing it. It’s your choice.”

Because it is not necessary!

A touch of sarcasm flashes through Gu Zechen’s eyes, and he says, sneering. “This is what you know about me.”

Su Ni doesn’t say anything. Then Gu Zechen pauses and continues. “It’s not bad for you to think in this way.”

After that, Gu Zechen puts down the glass and walks out, his head lifted high and his hands in pockets.

There are still many guests gossiping about them outside, but they quiet down when they see Gu Zechen come out. They silently step aside to let Gu Zechen pass, their eyes still casting a curious glance at Gu Zechen’s back.

ESHINE is in the dessert area and is sipping the wine with one hand in front of her body and the other hand holding the glass. Both side of her long black hair tucked and made hanging straightly to one side of her shoulders, people can see very clearly her delicate and beautiful chin and the stylish and firm expression on her face. She has a charisma, a mysterious magnetic charm which makes everyone feel hard to move his eyes away from her. All these has nothing to do with her good look.

Gu Zechen doesn’t walk towards ESHINE as people think. He doesn’t even look at her. Now he is seen chatting with a few CEOs. ESHINE looks back to the direction of Gu Zechen with a calm and natural look. She is completely unafraid of people’s attention. Then, she walks towards the lounge, holding her wine glass. At the far end of the room, Gu Zechen seems to have a sense and quickly turns back, only to see that ESHINE has disappeared behind the lounge door.

“Mr. Gu.” Someone whispers.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Gu Zechen quickly turns back coldly. “It’s fine. Please go on.”

The lounge is extremely silent, as silent as the grave.

Su Ni is shocked when she sees ESHINE, but she reacts quickly and calms down.

“Your name is Su Ni.” ESHINE comes straight to the point.

Su Ni nods, immediately sensing that this woman surely does not have a friendly intention. She is not here to make acquaintances. From the way she closes the door behind her, Su Ni knows it and she reminds herself to be fully alert. Before she figures out what to do to cope with this situation, she has to bear one thing in her mind.

“The name of the dress you’re wearing is called Youth, but unfortunately it doesn’t suit you.” ESHINE crosses her hands in front of her chest, eyeing Su Ni from above in a very arrogant manner.

Su Ni looks at ESHINE, who looks charming in a slightly different version of apparently the- same- series design products, and then she says with an unaffected voice. “Gu Zechen told me this, too.”

“Did he?” ESHINE raises her eyebrows and sits down directly across from Su Ni, with her eyes fixed on the latter, as if trying to see through this woman. Su Ni looks fearless and indifferent.

“He said I had bigger boobs and a nice bottom. This dress is more suited to a person who is thinner. This dress doesn’t fit me very well. However, I can give it another flavor.”Su Ni says directly. A blush flashes across ESHINE’s cheeks at the sound of that, which makes her seem somewhat agitated and resentful.

“You can’t take a man’s words seriously.”

“”Heh!””

Su Ni laughs lightly with her body leaning slightly towards the back of the couch. It is really a lazy posture. She raises her eyebrow and continues. “I don’t believe other men’s words. But Gu Zechen is different. He’s my husband.”

“To be frank, what I’m wearing is just for him. So in this sense, do you still insist that you can’t believe what he says?” Su Ni continues to laugh.

A hint of contempt crosses ESHINE’s eyes, but in Su Ni’s eyes, it is just her anger, kind of.

She deliberately pretends to be surprised and asks. “Didn’t Gu Zechen tell you this? Anyway, thank you for the gown. I really like it.”

She winks at ESHINE, as if really grateful and expressing her gratitude to her for the design. As soon as the words are out of her mouth, ESHINE’s expression shows she is not that aggressive. In front of Su Ni, she lights a cigarette directly and takes a deep breath. There is a swirl of cigarette smoke from her red lips.

In the haze of smoke, ESHINE’s eyes seem less sharp, instead they become sarcastic and compassionate. “Do you know why Gu Zechen gave you this dress? Haven’t you ever thought that it’s very likely that this gown isn’t even for you?”

“What do you mean by saying this?” Su Ni frowns and quickly realizes that what ESHINE says doesn’t seem like a lie.

“It is too bad that you don’t know anything about it.”

ESHINE doesn’t want to answer Su Ni’s question. She smiles contemptuously and looks askance at Su Ni with raised eyes. She gets up. “Of course, only people who don’t know anything can be happy, which might be the best outcome for them, who knows, because they can do nothing about it.”

Just as ESHINE is about to leave, Su Ni quickly steps forward and grabs her with a cold warning. “You’d better get your words clear.”

“I’ve made myself clear enough.” She says and shakes off Su Ni’s hand forcefully.

Su Ni realizes that it is a big deal, and she will not let ESHINE leave so easily. Finally, she stands by the door and asks coldly. “What the hell do you mean?”

ESHINE looks at Su Ni with pity, and her sexy red lips close and open alternately. “Of course, if you know that today is the death anniversary of Gu Zechen’s ex-girlfriend and this dress, which isn’t suitable for you, is originally a gift I intended to give to Wan Er, you won’t be so proud.”
