Gu Xinzhou looked up and met a pair of eyes that cherished her.
She awkwardly avoided his gaze.
She pretended nothing was wrong and bent down to pick up something, but her voice could not hide the hoarseness, "Do these all need to be taken over?"
Her arm was grabbed.
Cassie's gentle voice hovered overhead, "Xiaozhou, trust me, I will make you and McDull the happiest people in the world."
Gu Xinzhou dared not look up.
Thinking of Cassie's pure and flawless eyes, she couldn't bear to see him sad or disappointed.
But she couldn't make any promises to him, "I can take care of myself and McDull. When we return to Italy, I will help you filter out, to find an excellent girlfriend."
The air was very still.
Yet Cassie asked, "Did you hear the sound of a heart breaking?"
Gu Xinzhou withdrew her arm, took a step back, and straightened her back, her eyes full of helplessness and apology. When she looked toward Cassie with his clear eyes, she involuntarily softened her voice, "I will repay you for the drinks and gifts."
"Are you keeping such a clear account with me?" Cassie looked at her with a lovesick expression, self-mockingly said, "Indeed, the loved ones are always fearless."
Gu Xinzhou pursed her lips and looked at the gifts on the floor.
He squatted down before Gu Xinzhou, picking up everything.
As he turned to leave, he said, "The heavy lifting is for men to do, I'll take care of the hard work, you just need to stay as beautiful as a flower."
Twenty minutes later.
The hotel's Flower and Moon Hall.
Cassie, a man who was very willing to spend money on Gu Xinzhou, had the hall exquisitely lavish, looking like a gloriously decorated small suite.
Upon entering, directly in view was a cozy living room, with a sofa made of calf leather, a gorgeous carpet, and a coffee table adorned with fruits from around the world, plus a pot of Iron Buddha tea, Gu Yibo's favorite.
The living room's wall looked like a gigantic European painting but was actually a sliding door.
When the door was opened, a carefully prepared banquet under the embrace of a crystal light looked even more appealing.
Cassie's brought red wine had already been uncorked and was breathing.
At this moment, he was having a conversation with Gu Xinzhou.
Most of their talk was about work, and they were getting along in a much more harmonious natural way.
Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded.
Both of them looked towards the door simultaneously.
Only to see Gu Yibo walking in the front, followed by Song Zhen, then Zhuang Xiuya and Gu Xinfei!
Cassie, who had planned to impress, shrank his pupils at the first sight of Song Zhen!
He quickly looked at Gu Xinzhou!
Gu Xinzhou's face also changed!
She had not expected Gu Yibo to bring Song Zhen along, "Dad! Didn't I say that it would be just our own family coming over for a meal?"
No one responded!
No one spoke!
All the people who came in through the door were staring intently at Cassie!
Gu Yibo, looking at his son-in-law, had a naturally serious and cautious gaze.
Song Zhen, looking at his rival, also harbored a hostile look.
Zhuang Xiuya came with the attitude of watching a joke; she thought that Song Zhen was the best son-in-law in the world, so no matter what kind of man Gu Xinzhou found, in her and Gu Xinfei's eyes, he would fall short!
Gu Xinfei was the first to step forward, gently said, "Zhouzhou, is this your boyfriend? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
"My mistake." Cassie smiled politely, "Hello uncle, hello aunt, I'm Cassie, Xiaozhou's boyfriend in Italy.
This must be your sister, right?
And who is this?"
