Wrong Marriage: The CEO's Sweet Bride

That's... Chu Linchen.

He was wearing an elegant dark suit, with an inherent dignity and arrogance on his cold and deep face.

Unlike the guests present who were chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, he stood alone in the corner with a glass of red wine.

On the wall behind him hangs a Western master painting. In the picture, the ancient castle stands in the depths of the dense forest. The dappled sunlight shines on the steeple of the castle, but you can't feel the slightest warmth.

The whole painting reveals a strong sense of loneliness.

And he seems to come from the castle in the painting, isolated from the lively banquet hall.

You must know that when he was in Haicheng before, no matter what the occasion was, Chu Linchen was always the one who attracted the attention and was complimented by others.

At first sight of him standing there coldly, Qin Shu was not used to it.

She also didn't understand that today's event was hosted by the Yan family, and Chu Linchen logically shouldn't be here, how could he come?

Looking at Chu Linchen's eyes, the tens of thousands of thoughts in his mind were immediately thrown aside, leaving only a blank.

His eyes were still so deep and sharp, there seemed to be black whirlpools in his eyes, which could suck people in.

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment.

Chu Linchen also frowned without a trace, those clear eyes evoked a sense of familiarity engraved in his bone marrow.

The two of them just looked at each other through the crowd of suits and dresses. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

In fact, it was just a short look at the other party.

Qin Shu's gaze was immediately pulled back by an old and enthusiastic voice——

"Prince Hongxu, it's great to have you here."

Yan Changming came to the two of them with a dragon head and a cane.

"Well, I'm here to join in the fun." Gong Hongxu said casually, and glanced happily at Qin Shu beside him.

He has no interest in the Yan family's activities, he came here purely for the beauty.

Behind Yan Changming, Yan Jing was wearing a silver-gray suit, and his thin figure was wrapped under the crisp suit, making him look a bit empty.

His dark eyes turned between Qin Shu and Gong Hongxu, and finally stopped on Qin Shu's face, and said playfully: "I heard that Miss Yuan said that she would bring a powerful male companion to attend, but I didn't expect it to be Hongxu prince."

Qin Shu secretly slandered in her heart: Obviously you asked me to be Gong Hongxu's girlfriend, wouldn't you know?

Really good at acting!

Before she could say anything, Gong Hongxu listened to Yan Jing's words, and asked curiously first: "Why, do you two have a good relationship?"

"Miss Yuan is very skilled in medicine. When she first came back to China, I offered an olive branch on purpose, but Miss Yuan declined. The two of us couldn't make a deal, so we just became friends in the end."

Yan Jing's nonsense made up sounds like an excuse to coax a three-year-old child to Qin Shu.

A quick sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

However, Gong Hongxu really believed Yan Jing's words, thinking that the two of them were friends within the safe range.

In addition, he felt that he was able to get in close contact with "Yuan Luoli" today because of the banquet held by the Yan family.

Thinking of this, Gong Hongxu put his hand on Yan Jing's shoulder in satisfaction, patted him as if he was a good buddy, and said, "Very good, we are all friends, we will play together often in the future!"

"Okay." Yan Jing smiled, picked up the wine in his hand and clinked a glass with Gong Hongxu.

This scene fell in the eyes of others, and it further confirmed the close relationship between the Yan family and the Lord's Mansion.

Qin Shu remained calm on the face, but he had a guess in his heart——

It seems that Yan Jing asked herself to be Gong Hongxu's female companion, mostly to curry favor with Gong Hongxu.

This instead made her come to a different conclusion from the others present: the Yan family has nothing to do with the Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the waiter came to her with a tray.

There are several kinds of drinks in cups on the tray for guests to choose.

Qin Shu subconsciously picked up a glass of orange juice.

Almost as soon as she picked it up, the sight locked on her in the distance suddenly became more intense!

Qin Shu immediately thought of something and was confused.

Drinking orange juice instead of alcohol was her habit when she accompanied Chu Linchen to banquets.

But, just a glass of orange juice, will he see the clues?

This is really hard to say.

After all, he is Chu Linchen.

The man who knows himself best.

Qin Shu felt a little nervous for no reason.

She already had the orange juice in her hand, and it was impossible to put it back in for wine.

I could only bite the bullet and pretend that I didn't see his sight.

With a beautiful and charming smile on her face, she held Gong Hongxu's arm and accompanied him to deal with those familiar guests who came over to say hello.

"Prince Hongxu, I'm Xu Dazhi from Weidi Real Estate. It's a great pleasure to meet you. Welcome to my humble house when you have time."

"Humble house? That's not as good as the Lord's Mansion. If that's the case, why should I sit at your place?"

Gong Hongxu always sneered at this kind of flattery, he choked the other party into speechless, shrunk his head and backed away.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to come up to make friends rashly.

He secretly slandered in his heart that Prince Hongxu's temper was just as rumored, and he was not easy to get along with.

In this way, on the contrary, the Yan family who could invite him to participate in the event in person is really extraordinary.

Some people see that they can't climb up to Gong Hongxu, so they simply take this opportunity to gossip.

"Prince Hongxu, we are actually very curious about the relationship between you and Miss Yuan..."

"This!"

Gong Hongxu was not interested in anything else, but when he talked about the matter with Yuan Luoli, he immediately regained his energy.

Facing everyone's curious eyes, when Qin Shu was unprepared, he suddenly held her hand and raised it up.

Said in a declarative tone: "Miss Yuan is in my heart, and will be the future mistress of the Lord's Mansion!"

The voice fell, and the audience was in an uproar.

Even Chu Linchen, who was always standing outside the crowd, had a flash of astonishment across his stern face.

Then, his deep eyes darkened, and there were emotions that were not easy to detect.

Qin Shu's complexion should not be too good-looking.

It's okay for this Gong Hongxu to be out of tune, but to say such things casually?

"Master Gong, you..."

Just as she was about to speak, an angry voice sounded from the entrance of the banquet hall behind her:

"Luoli is mine! Is Prince Hongxu trying to use his royal status to snatch a wife?!"

While speaking, Xin Yu's footsteps were like the wind, and he rushed up quickly.

Just as Qin Shu pulled his hand out of Gong Hongxu's hand, before he could put it down, Xin Yu grabbed her and dragged her over.

"As we all know, Yuan Luoli is my fiancee! So, please respect yourself!"

Xin Yu stared at Gong Hongxu coldly, his eyes were full of defense and hostility.

Gong Hongxu was stunned for a moment, but then he sarcastically said disapprovingly: "Fiancee? As far as I know, Ms. Yuan has already asked you to terminate the engagement. I really don't know who is so thick-skinned, stalking and refusing to let go!"

Xin Yu's expression changed.

Gong Hongxu curled the corner of his lower lip proudly, and continued to remind: "Besides, Miss Yuan is my girlfriend today! What right do you have to touch her? Don't let her go yet!"
