Chu Ya felt sorry for him and turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore...

He twirled his fingers, wondering what was the purpose of coming here?

I don't want to be a decoration, not a vase.

What can she do?

What could she do for him?

Sitting next to her was Mrs. Sheng, with a child seat between them. Mrs. Sheng's granddaughter Yi Yi sat between them.

The little girl was only three or four years old. She could not speak clearly and had a baby voice, as if she had a piece of candy in her mouth.

Yiyi didn't understand what socializing was. She just came here to have fun. She didn't eat properly and whispered that she wanted her grandma to hold her.

Mrs. Sheng was talking about company matters with Sheng Jun and Gu Shi, and did not notice what Yi Yi said.

Chu Ya looked at him calmly. She really didn't like children very much. Qiqi was four years younger than her and would often complain to Ms. Wu. Although Qiqi had grown up now and was better, she still didn't have a good impression of children.

But... everything revolves around Gu Shi tonight.

Sheng Jun also noticed that Yiyi was making a fuss and said with a smile, "Why don't we let the nanny take her away? Yiyi won't be able to eat well in such an occasion."

Mrs. Sheng was somewhat helpless: "My son and daughter-in-law are not at home these days, and the new nanny is unfamiliar to us. The little one cries as soon as he leaves us. It's better when we are here."

Chu Ya took the opportunity to say, "Aunt, how about I take care of Yi Yi? You can talk to Uncle about business, and I'll take care of her dinner."

Madam Sheng didn't expect her to say that and was a little surprised: "If you are willing, then thank you for your help..."

She lowered her head and asked her granddaughter: "Yiyi, are you willing to let this aunt take care of you for meals?"

Yiyi looked up and saw Chuya smiling at her, gentle and kind under the bright halo.

Children are the most sensitive. Yiyi likes her very much and opens her arms: "Give me a hug, beautiful sister..."

Chu Ya picked her up, let her sit on her lap, and tapped her nose: "You should call me aunt."

Yiyi shook her head: "It's just the beautiful sister."

Madam Sheng smiled and said, "You are indeed younger than our daughter-in-law, so it's not wrong to call you sister. How old are you this year?"

Because Chu Ya was extremely low-key today, Madam Sheng didn't notice her at first. Only when she saw that she was very friendly to children and Yi Yi liked her very much did she start to pay attention to her.

Chu Ya blinked: "Twenty."

Mrs. Sheng was surprised: "You are so young and still in school?"

Chuya admitted, "Yes, I just started my junior year."

Sheng Jun laughed and said, "What do you think? Gu Shi is only 21 years old, how old can his girlfriend be?"

Madam Sheng blurted out, "Twenty-one? I thought he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight."

Sheng Jun praised him: "Although he is young, he is very capable and resourceful. When he said he wanted to resign, I thought it would be great if I had a daughter. I could marry her to him and keep him as my own."

Gu Shi frowned.

Fortunately, the Sheng family has no daughter, and Chu Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Sheng was dissatisfied: "Aren't you breaking up this couple?" She turned around and asked with great interest, "How did you two meet?"

Yiyi pointed at the food on the table: "I want to eat this..."

"Okay," the waiter standing next to her immediately helped her pick it up. Chu Ya picked up the knife and fork to help her cut it into small pieces, and then smiled and replied to Madam Sheng: "We are high school classmates."

Madam Sheng: "Were you together at that time?"

Chu Ya smiled and shook her head: "No, but at that time, I liked him..."

On the other side of the table, Sheng Jun asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

Gu Shi looked at her. She was holding Yi Yi with a gentle and bright smile, like an angel.

This is what he has always wanted to protect.

He raised his lips and said without hesitation: "We'll get married when we reach the legal age."

Sheng Jun said to Madam Sheng: "Look, he can't wait any longer."

Chu Ya also heard it, and her cheeks turned a little red under the teasing gazes of everyone.

Desserts were served soon. The kitchen made strawberry pudding for Yiyi. Maybe because Chuya was young, they served her a portion as well.

It is called strawberry pudding, but it is actually homemade jelly in the kitchen. It is a layer of jelly, covered with a layer of strawberry pulp, and then covered with another layer of jelly. It looks so mouth-watering.

Yiyi only likes to eat the strawberries inside. She picks out the strawberries to eat and throws the rest aside.

Chuya also likes to eat homemade jelly, but she is usually busy and has no time to make it.

She noticed that Yiyi liked to eat the strawberries in the jelly, and she actually liked to eat them too...

But this time, the focus is on Gu Shi... Yiyi is the only granddaughter of President Sheng and Madam Sheng. Making Yiyi like her means making President Sheng and Madam Sheng like her... It will also be easier if Gu Shi needs Sheng Jun's help next time.

Chu Ya picked out all the strawberries in her glass, pushed them in front of her, and said with a smile, "You eat them. I don't like strawberries."

Yiyi was very happy, hugged her neck and gave her a kiss: "Thank you, beautiful sister."

In an instant, everyone at the banquet looked over.

Looking at Gu Shi's smiling eyes, Chu Ya stuck out her tongue at him.

She is actually very low-key, but unexpectedly she attracted everyone's attention inadvertently.

Madam Sheng sighed: "Yiyi is a child. Usually when other people come to visit our house, she always ignores them. I didn't expect that she likes you so much."

Chu Ya: "I like Yi Yi, too."

Soon the banquet was over.

The executives from the company were all preparing to go home. Mrs. Sheng heard that Chu Ya had studied opera and was very interested, so she wanted her to sing a piece.

Yiyi also held her arm and wouldn't let her go back, wanting her to stay and play for a while longer.

She had no choice but to go to the living room with Mrs. Sheng, Yiyi, and the nanny. Gu Shi and Sheng Jun went to the study.

When Gu Shi came out of the study.

In the Sheng family's huge Chinese-style living room, Chu Ya half-knelt down and taught Yi Yi how to make sounds in a very serious manner.

He looked for a while, then walked out with a smile, put his arm around Chuya's shoulders, and said to Madam Sheng, "Aunt, thank you for your hospitality today. We should go back."

Madam Sheng was also a little tired, so she stood up and said with a smile: "I should thank Yaya, you helped me a lot today."

Gu Shi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person who usually needed him to carry her when walking at home could leave such an impression on Mrs. Sheng.

They walked out, the assistant opened the car door, and Chu Ya and Gu Shi sat in the back seat.

For a moment, no one spoke. After all, several hours of socializing were very tiring.

Chuya opened the car window, felt the evening breeze, and felt very relaxed.

She didn't tell Gu Shi that she had studied etiquette for two days by herself and spent two days preparing, and it finally finished today.

She felt that she had performed very well. Mrs. Sheng and Yi Yi liked her very much and asked her to visit them often.

Gu Shi held her hand and she leaned gently on his shoulder.

Maybe because she was so tense before, once she relaxed, her eyelids drooped and she murmured, "I might need to sleep for a while..."

Gu Shi kissed her forehead: "Okay..."
