On this side, Shen Sicun, following her father to meet his friends, kept feeling as though there was a gaze fixed on her from behind, making her feel increasingly uncomfortable!
Gu Zhengting held a wine glass, his gaze still fixed on Shen Sicun. He didn’t deny that after three years, she was still as pure and beautiful as before.
Just one glance, and she was imprinted in his heart.
However, thinking back to that morning three years ago when he woke up to find she had already left without saying goodbye, a surge of unnamed anger rose in his chest for some reason.
Perhaps, he had truly fallen for this woman.
“Mr. Gu, what are you looking at?” A woman's voice suddenly broke his thoughts.
Gu Zhengting turned his head toward the person beside him. It was Shen Yiling, and he frowned slightly.
Shen Yiling held a wine glass, smiling charmingly as she looked at Gu Zhengting. “Mr. Gu, I’m truly surprised and honored to run into you here. Would you like to have a drink with me?”
She had long heard the rumors about Gu Zhengting, and after meeting him for the first time, he was just as the newspapers, magazines, and weekly tabloids described—handsome and elegant, making her heart flutter.
Gu Zhengting understood her intentions, but he didn’t outright refuse her. Instead, he raised his wine glass. “It’s an honor for me to receive a toast from the general manager of the Shen Jewelry Group. Of course, I won’t refuse.”
“Thank you, Mr. Gu,” Shen Yiling said, her excitement hard to hide as it was clearly visible on her face.
Gu Zhengting ignored Shen Yiling’s presence and once again fixed his gaze on Shen Sicun.
At that moment, Shen Zhichang was introducing her to some important figures, one by one.
Seeing her smile and greet those overweight, powerful men, his expression darkened.
After accompanying her father to entertain a bunch of guests, Shen Sicun finally had a chance to relax.
But the next moment, she suddenly became tense again. A chill ran down her spine. Gu Zhengting, the cold-faced demon, had appeared. She had to leave right away.
Without hesitation, she told her father she was feeling a bit dizzy and needed to rest at the hotel. She hurriedly excused herself.
On the other side, Gu Zhengting, who had been observing her every move, saw her leaving and quickly turned to Shen Yiling. “Sorry, I need to excuse myself!” Then, he hurriedly followed Shen Sicun.
So she wanted to escape, huh? Hmph! He wouldn’t give her any chance. She would never escape his control.
Shen Sicun stepped out of the hotel and hurried to the street to hail a taxi.
At that moment, a taxi had just dropped someone off nearby. As Shen Sicun was about to get in and leave, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind, pulling her forcefully. A playful voice immediately reached her ears. “Do you think you can so easily escape from under my watch?”
Just because he hadn’t sought her out in the past three years didn’t mean he had forgotten about her.
Now that they had crossed paths again, fate had rekindled. How could he let go so easily?
Shen Sicun, seeing her nightmare chasing her once more, could only feel despair. “Gu Zhengting, please get out of my world, will you?”
Gu Zhengting was unmoved by her anger. Suddenly, he leaned forward, and with one arm around her waist, he pulled her against his chest. The posture was intimate, enough to make one blush!
