The girl gritted her teeth, her sharp nails digging into her palm without feeling.
All tragedies began with that tiny makeup room inside the engagement party.
Those Beijian people suddenly became smart, uncontrollable...
"Yue'er, are you okay?" The man's call pulled Gu Xinyue back from her thoughts, and she forced a thread of a smile, "Young Master Si, I'm fine."
Si Yuanlong, with his mind full of his beauty's charming yet aloof face, expressed concern for the girl in his arms before eagerly asking, "Yue'er, do you know the person from before?"
Not missing the wicked thoughts flashing in the man's eyes, Gu Xinyue lowered her gaze to hide a fleeting scheme, "Mm, she is the Gu family's daughter..."

Gu Danyu, carrying a big bag of stuff, got back into the car.
Dumpling, sitting in the passenger seat, wagged his tail and came over to sniff. Realizing it was just a pile of notebook assembly parts, he immediately lost interest and turned his head away.
The host had once been a top hacker in a certain plane; it seemed she was getting itchy fingers and wanted to play.
As they drew closer to Lu Family's Villa, turning into a main road, the way in front was suddenly blocked; not far away, the street was packed with a sea of people.
What happened?
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a garishly red luxury car out of the corner of her eye, and Gu Danyu felt it looked vaguely familiar, a spark of realization flickering through her mind.
She seemed to have forgotten something....
"[Host, you forgot about that unfortunate kid.]"
The soft, mushy voice reminded her, and only then did Gu Danyu remember Lu Jun, who had been out since early morning.
She shook her head and sighed softly.
It proved that going against the elders came with a price.
Meanwhile, Lu · Unfortunate · Jun was surrounded by a crowd of reporters in the center.
The glaring flashbulbs kept flickering, "click click," and microphones were so close to the young man they nearly hit his nose.
"Is the child in the video you?"
"What do you think about this video?"
"Do you have any grudges against Teacher Wang Fang? Why did you hit her?"
Of course, he hit because he disliked her!
Rebellious as he might be, Lu Jun was still a minor and felt inevitably scared when so many cameras were shooting him and a crowd was pressing him with questions.
With no one behind him, the young man's eyes almost spilled over with spite. He lifted his head, clenched his fists, and put on a fierce front to protect himself.
Gu Danyu rushed to the scene just to witness this.
"Woof woof woof—"
Dumpling took off on all four, baring his sharp teeth with a wide grin.
The people nearby, afraid of being bitten, quickly made way, and soon, a path cleared beside the young man.
Lu Jun looked up and saw the woman approaching against the light, radiating breathtaking beauty as she moved closer.
"Gu, Gu Danyu," he murmured.
The next second.
The young man's arm was grabbed, a hat was thrown over his head covering his handsome face, and he was pulled forward....
The two ran wildly before finally reaching the car.
Gu Danyu's eyes flickered, she pressed the gas pedal a bit harder, her hands constantly turning the wheel, zigzagging left and right, quickly shaking off the tail following them.
Lu Jun caught his breath, finally snapping out of his daze.
He had been rescued, saved by the woman next to him.
"Th-thank you," Lu Jun lifted his head, his usually lazy and rebellious eyes filled with sincerity for a rare moment, as his porcelain-like earlobes subtly reddened.
Yet he saw the woman before him looking straight ahead, murmuring a low "Mm" of acknowledgment, then nothing more.
Was it because he had been too unruly before, and she was angry...
Did she also dislike him?
