She didn't know why, but she always felt that the time he chose was too lucky.

Originally, she planned to go to the engagement party. Of course, she would dress up in disguise and travel in a low-key manner. She didn't mean to cause any damage, she just wanted to see her son and see what kind of woman Jenny Hou was.

As a mother, she had to understand the character of her son's stepmother. After all, her son had to get along with her stepmother before she could get custody.

She hesitated for a moment.

Gu Xianzhi looked at her, his eyes moving slightly, "Is there any problem?"

Shang Manyue's hands were stirring the coffee unconsciously, and she was thinking about how to decline politely under her thick long eyelashes. But recently, because of Huo Jingbo's incident, her relationship with Dr. Gu became more and more subtle.

Moreover, Mr. Gu has always been against them, and now he is willing to see her. Gu Xianzhi must have put a lot of effort into it. It would be bad for her to refuse like this.

Since she promised to have a good relationship with Gu Xianzhi, she couldn't just talk without practicing, it would be unfair to him.

At worst, she would rush to the engagement party after meeting Mr. Gu. After all, the party wouldn't end so early...

After some thought, Shang Manyue suppressed all the emotions in his eyes and shook his head at Gu Xianzhi, "No."

"It's my honor that Mr. Gu wants to see me."

Gu Xianzhi smiled. At this moment, all the barriers between them seemed to disappear. He could finally see a little bit of her trying to walk towards him.

It was drizzling outside, and Gu Xianzhi insisted on driving Shang Manyue back, so she let him.

When the car arrived at Cheng's house, Shang Manyue unbuckled her seat belt and was about to push the door to get out of the car when Gu Xianzhi's warm palm suddenly held her shoulder.

She was stunned and looked back with confusion in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly met Gu Xianzhi's dark eyes. He stared intently at her red lips, with obvious desire on his warm face.

Shang Manyue was no longer a little girl, so of course she could see what he wanted to do. Her back couldn't help but stiffen, her fingers dug into the leather chair, and her fingertips dug into it.

The man came closer and closer, his breath touching her face.

When she realized that her first reaction was uneasiness and wanting to escape, her heart beat uncontrollably.

Maybe...she hasn't completely adapted to Gu Xianzhi's boyfriend status...

But as a boyfriend and girlfriend, this kind of thing is very natural. If you avoid it, it will be very hurtful.

Shang Manyue swallowed hard and tried to stop himself and stay calm.

Gu Xianzhi could see all her reactions. He was so happy that when he saw her soft profile and delicate red lips, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Moreover, he had waited too long. As a man with normal needs, how could he not want her.

He had been restraining himself just because he didn't want to scare her. After all, in her eyes, he had always been a complete gentleman.

The red lips he dreamed of were so close, he could grab them as long as he wanted.

But he could also see her resistance and discomfort, even though she was trying her best to restrain herself.

Gu Xianzhi knew that the time was too short for her good impression of him to turn into liking and love. Although she knew it, it was inevitably disappointing.

If they had stayed in country D, he wouldn't have to worry at all and follow the best rhythm and comfortable pace to win her heart. Unfortunately, it backfired.

He didn't want to lose his grace or appear so humble, so he finally stopped.

"Full moon."

His voice was low, "I'll wait until you want."

He also believes that he will wait.

No matter how much Huo Jingbo stares at him, he will not lose to him again and again.

...

Early the next morning, You Jing came to pick up Jenny Hou.

She was very considerate and arranged a full day's itinerary for her.

Do various skin treatments in the morning, go to the spa in the afternoon to relax her body, and go to the styling room at six o'clock in the evening to do makeup. She must be radiant and gorgeous tonight.

Jenny Hou was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Even if it's just a fake engagement, she still has to be pretty.

You Jing has a good way of serving others, she has a low eyebrow and a gentle voice, and she also specializes in choosing nice things to say. Jenny Hou spent a long time with her and was coaxed into being submissive.

She didn't care about the subsequent arrangements, and she would do whatever You Jing asked her to do.

When changing into a dress, the waist was a little loose. You Jing immediately told her to sit down and drink scented tea and rest while she went out to communicate with the designer.

Jenny Hou had no doubt that he was there and nodded to let her go.

Unexpectedly, after drinking two cups of scented tea, no one came back.

Jenny Hou looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already half past seven, and the party was about to start at eight o'clock. As the "heroine" of the engagement party, she couldn't be late.

Otherwise, if this matter is messed up today, Huo Jingbo will have her head twisted off.

Jenny Hou vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and she hurriedly got up and walked towards the door, but the door to the locker room could not be opened at all, and it was obviously locked from the outside.

She shouted loudly and slammed the door hard, but there was no response from the outside.

She went back to look for her mobile phone, and after searching for a long time, she remembered that when she was changing clothes, her mobile phone was given to You Jing, and she took it out with her just now.

Jenny Hou wanted to understand this, put her hands on her hips, and suddenly laughed angrily.

She never expected that the eldest lady would be tricked by a little secretary one day?

What does You Jing want to do?

After locking her up, is it possible that he still wants to get engaged to Huo Jingbo on her behalf?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, her expression suddenly changed.

Huo Jingbo made a big fuss about the banquet tonight because he wanted to recognize Huo Yunchen's return and publicly announce that Xiao Yunchen was the future heir of the Huo Group, so all the people who came were big shots, prestigious people, and the Huo family. Those uncles in my family.

Even many well-known media and reporters were invited.

Once You Jing seizes the opportunity and appears in the public eye when announcing her engagement, it would be okay if Shang Manyue comes. If she doesn't come... Huo Jingbo will probably let her scheme succeed in order to take the overall situation into consideration.

You Jing is no better than her. She is just acting, and nothing will be done afterwards. You Jing is determined to get the upper hand, how could she give up so easily.

The more Jenny Hou thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She kicked the door again angrily, "Is there anyone outside? Open the door!!"

...

Dinner was scheduled at the First Hotel in Hong Kong City.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shang Manyue, wearing a moon-white dress, was led by Gu Xianzhi to the door of the box.

Shang Manyue was inevitably a little nervous and took a breath.

Seeing this, Gu Xianzhi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary meal. If you are so good, grandpa will like you."

Shang Manyue raised her eyes to look at him and smiled back.

The door was pushed open gently and two people walked in.
