Gu Ruochu did not reply to Huo Nanchen's remark about Jin Ye. As they continued chatting with the other guests, the President and the First Lady slowly walked out.
Gu Xiangsi did not look shy as Nan Yue held her hand. Instead, she appeared dignified and elegant.
Everyone's gaze fell on the President and the First Lady.
Gu Ruochu subconsciously stared at Gu Xiangsi's stomach. Her tummy was still flat, and from just looking at her, one could not tell that she was pregnant.
Gu Xiangsi's beautiful eyes were as charming as those of a little fox.
Gu Zexi was standing at the side, sipping a glass of red wine.
Abruptly, a beautiful young girl stepped forward and waved at the Gu Xiangsi.
Gu Xiangsi held her hand and chatted softly, but her eyes would occasionally fall on Gu Zexi.
Gu Ruochu felt that the girl Gu Xiangsi was chatting with looked familiar. At first, she thought that it was just an illusion, but after taking a few more glances, she realized that it was Chu Xinlan's half-sister, Chu Yun.
"Brother, long time no see."
Gu Xiangsi held Chu Yun's hand and walked over to greet her brother. Gu Zexi only nodded politely. Their interaction was not as intimate as that of a biological brother and sister.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Zexi's cold attitude hurt Chu Yun. She looked at him and asked, "Zexi, do you still remember me? I'm Chu Yun. Did you forget that my father asked you to teach me how to play the piano?"
"Oh!"
Chu Yun only got one word in response after offering a lengthy explanation. She pulled at the corner of her shirt in embarrassment.
Gu Xiangsi quickly comforted her, "My brother is usually this cold to everyone. Chu Yun, don't mind him."
Chu Yun nodded and continued to look at Gu Zexi.
Of course, she knew about Gu Zexi's temper. However, felt better after Gu Xiangsi said that he was cold to everyone.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Brother!" Gu Xiangsi couldn't bear his brash attitude, and she asked, "Have you been hanging out with that woman again?"
"Who are you talking about?"
Gu Zexi stopped in his tracks and stared at his sister. "What do you mean?"
"Do you still want to hide it from me?" Gu Xiangsi's eyes were full of mockery. "That woman has caused you so much trouble. Don't tell me you're still thinking about her?"
"That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."
"You're my brother. How can it have nothing to do with me!" Gu Xiangsi tried to remain calm. After all, everybody at the banquet was looking at her.
"Brother, I hope you can find a good girl instead of that wicked girl..."
"I told you, it's none of your business!"
Before Gu Xiangsi could finish her sentence, Gu Zexi had already left. She watched him as he left and clenched her fist.
Chu Yun's eyes were wet with tears. The man she had been secretly in love with for so long had not even spared her a glance.
She had not admitted her love for Gu Zexi because of her half-sister.
When they were young, Chu Yun had sworn to Chu Xinlan that she wouldn't go after Gu Zexi.
But three years later, she had once again appeared in front of Gu Zexi with the secret intention of seducing him.
"Chu Yun, my brother is just obsessed now. I'll try to persuade him to change his mind."
"Don't worry, Xiangsi. I'm not sad."
Three years ago, Chu Xinlan and Gu Zexi's relationship had fallen apart. After they broke up, Chu Xinlan had sworn that she wouldn't dare to love him again.
