"Who's the handsome guy next to Wu Xue?"
"I don't know, but he's got a pretty good vibe, dressing like that. Could he be her little sugar baby?"
"Not necessarily, the old lady's gotta have some standards."
As they walked by, various murmurs and comments never ceased. Wu Xue obviously heard them, but her face remained expressionless, she carried herself with a calm demeanor, and even when Gu Tao couldn't bear to listen to some of the more offensive remarks, she never reacted.
Upon arriving at the main venue, the gazes of both men and women focused on Gu Tao due to his association with Wu Xue. He felt like he was standing in the spotlight. The men didn't seem to mind too much, after all, there was no dress code stipulated here. Although people generally wore formal attire by unspoken agreement, they didn't have an aversion to casual wear; they just thought flipping up his collar was quite a slick move.
