When Gu Chenxiao returned, there was a woman by his side.
Clad in a cheongsam that accentuated her figure, her black curls lent her an undeniable charm.
She walked alongside Chenxiao, gracefully enduring the scrutiny of those around her. However, when she reached for Chenxiao's arm, the harmonious scene was interrupted.
Chenxiao raised his hand to summon a waiter, conveniently avoiding her hand.
"Get her a glass of red wine,"
he said before striding off on his own.
The woman accepted the wine and followed after him, "Wait for me."
Chenxiao hadn't gone far when Qin Wang, escorting Song Yan, was busy networking, their laughter spreading cheerfully. Seeing him, their eyes, almost in unison, fell upon him.
"President Gu, it's been a long time."
"President Jiang."
A quick handshake served as their greeting; President Jiang then turned his attention to the woman behind him, "President Gu, forgive me for asking, is this lady your companion?"
