"Will she say yes?"

Gu An'an sat nervously in front of the window of the revolving restaurant on the 80th floor. This is the best position in the entire restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling windows with a 270° view can overlook the entire Binhai City at your feet.

But thousands of lights are nothing more than the background of a date.

For this position in the World Trade Center, even the young master of the Gu family needs to make an appointment half a month in advance.

"Master Gu, do you want to let the chef do the cooking?"

The dishes had been finalized long ago, but they didn’t come up. The waiter urged again, “The wagyu and foie gras were delivered by air in the afternoon. They were not refrigerated, and the taste would change if they were left out.”

This is the third time the waiter has reminded him... From six o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock now, Gu An'an sat alone in front of the French window for three and a half hours, but still no one came to wait for him.

"Wait a little longer, there's no need to remind me." Gu An'an's eyes dimmed, but when he thought of Shen Qinghe, the corners of his bitter lips couldn't help but twitch a little.

"Qinghe is just too busy filming, she will definitely come." Gu Anan emphasized, not sure if it was to excuse the other party, or to comfort herself.

Glancing at the exquisite gift box containing the diamond necklace in his hand, his heart raised infinite expectations. She said that her dream is to wear the necklace designed by the designer Alighieri.

In order to get this necklace, he spent almost all his savings when he was studying in the UK.

At this time, the knock on the door finally rang.

Gu An'an raised his head expectantly, and the smile he just raised suddenly froze.

It was Shen Qinghe's assistant who walked in.

Gu Anan froze for a moment, got up and asked, "Assistant Li, Qinghe?"

The assistant walked up to Gu An'an, saw Master Gu's distraught look, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Gu, Qinghe has a very important endorsement event at the moment, so she can't come to the appointment. To express my apologies, she will ask Gu Anan next time. Master eat."

Gu An'an didn't react: "Huh?"

Important endorsement?

He clearly remembered telling Qinghe that he had the most important thing to tell her today, and she readily agreed, why did he change his mind just before the battle?

The reason why he made up his mind to confess his love today is because after today he will take up the heavy responsibility of the branch company, and he will never be there as long as she needs him, as in the past.

Gu An'an's pretty eyebrows frowned, and her fingertips twitched uneasily at the carefully wrapped gift box in her hand, and murmured, "Oh...that's it."

The assistant stared at Gu An'an in a daze for a while, then said after a long time: "Master Gu, in fact, I'm here today to help Qinghe with a word."

Gu An'an: "?" His gray eyes gradually brightened up, Qinghe's heart is not without him.As a popular artist, it is helpless for the company to arrange a temporary announcement.

Even if he is so busy, Qinghe never forgets to take care of his assistant to bring him a message.

Gu An'an couldn't restrain his excitement and stood up, taking two steps forward: "What did she say?"

The assistant said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness. The only person she likes from the beginning to the end is Mr. Pei."

Then I saw that radiant and good-looking young man froze there as if his soul had been sucked out, the corner of his mouth still kept the original smile.But there was no spirit in his eyes, like a stone.

As if a century had passed, Gu An'an finally blinked, her fine and long eyelashes fluttering non-stop, and repeated blankly: "Which Mr. Pei?" He still didn't give up.

The assistant saw surprise and loneliness flashing through Young Master Gu's expectant eyes, and unconsciously lowered his tone: "Pei Ji, the president of the Pei family."

Pei Ji, Pei Ji again?

Gu An'an became irritable as if he had been touched by Nilin.

At first, he thought that he had already walked out of the nightmare about Pei Ji, but he didn't expect that he would lose to that rival in the matter of his sweetheart.

"Master Gu, are you... all right?" The waiter stepped forward and asked softly, the assistant had already left, and only Gu An'an was left sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, like an abandoned child,

"Oh... oh, it's okay." Gu An'an slowly came back to his senses, scratched his head, his slightly curly hair drooped on his forehead, covering his red eyes, "take the wine you ordered Come up, the food will be useless.”

"Master Gu," the waiter wanted to comfort, but the uniform on his body reminded him that he was not qualified to speak, so he had to step back and silently asked the kitchen to prepare an extra cake for the young master.

……

The bewildering city lights outside the window spilled into the window sill, casting Gu An'an's shadow on the clean floor, which looked thin and lonely compared to the wine table next to him.

He was drinking in the corner, but the bottle of brandy hadn't bottomed out yet, his naturally fair face was blushing, and his beautiful big eyes were stained with drunkenness and bewilderment, like a lost cat, the guests and waiters who came and went Can't help but look at him with concern.

But Gu Anan was still immersed in the sadness of being rejected. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Since he was a child, he was compared with Pei Ji by the people in the circle. Other people's children.

Even his parents, who have always been tolerant of him and don't make strict demands, are shining brightly when they mention Pei Ji, saying that if you can learn the first level of Pei Ji, An An, we can wake up from our dreams with laughter.

Only the elder brother would touch his head and say, "With me, An An doesn't need to compare with other children, as long as she is a baby spoiled by her elder brother for the rest of her life."

"When you make money, you have a brother, and when you spend money, you have An An."

But... my brother is gone.

Gu An'an squeezed the wine glass tightly.What makes them even more angry is that Pei Ji doesn't have the blood of a wealthy family at all, but is just a lucky adopted son.

However, this adopted son was better than all of them, suppressing his peers so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.Until this exceptionally good adopted son actually showed his fangs to the Pei family, embezzled the Pei-style company, and drove the real Pei family out.

Only then did the elders in the circle stop comparing them. Over the years, Pei Ji's ruthlessness has become more and more ruthless in the mall, and Pei Shi has become bigger and bigger, and people no longer have the voice of comparison.

No great compliments either.

The only thing I can do is to keep him at arm's length.

"Ding ding ding—your friend, Aibo is calling!"

A telephone ring interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing a phone call from a buddy, Gu An'an cleared his choked throat, and forced himself to calm down, "Hello."

Ai Bo's excited voice came: "Yo An'an, did you succeed in confessing? That's the goddess you've been chasing for several years. The brothers are waiting for you two to succeed!"

Hearing "I've been chasing you for several years", Gu An'an took another sip of wine, his stomach was burning hot, and he said hoarsely: "It's over."

"Ah?" Ai Bo was startled, and then comforted, "Oh, don't be sad, Brother An An, where are you, the brothers are here to accompany you..."

"I'll be alone for a while." Gu Anan whispered, his big eyes staring blankly at the dark brown liquid in the wine glass in a daze.

"...Okay, brother is with you." Abbott paused, "By the way, you are going to report to work in your subsidiary company tomorrow, do you want some brothers to help you prepare? "

"..." Gu Anan put down the wine glass in his hand, and wiped his face vigorously, leaving a faint red mark on his delicate and pale face.

In addition to the rejection of the confession, there is another bad thing - I am a business rookie who will go to work as the vice president of the family subsidiary tomorrow, but he is actually forced to replace him.

A few months ago, he was still the most favored youngest son of the Gu family, and he was loitering overseas with a bunch of rich second generations, and he had nowhere to go, but a phone call from his family called him back.

Because the elder brother who had been in charge of the family business with his parents died in a car accident, the subsidiary's project had problems, the board of directors put pressure on his parents, the power of the Gu family fell apart, and the parents had to recruit him back urgently to temporarily replace the vice president of the subsidiary.

Ai Bo's angry voice continued: "I checked it for you here. The subsidiary company is a big hole. In recent months, the company's business has experienced negative growth. Those directors deliberately came to blackmail you! Your parents will help you."

The more Gu An'an listened, the more aggrieved he became. His family had changed, and he was frustrated in love. In the past few months, he seemed to be possessed by an evil god. His originally colorful life suddenly turned gray.A heavy sour feeling surged into his nasal cavity, and his vision gradually blurred.

A tide of emotions flooded the gate, Gu Anan blinked quickly, got up and staggered towards the door, automatically ignoring the concerned or strange eyes around her.

Ai Bo heard the rustling sound and felt something was wrong: "Brother An An, are you listening? Hey——"

Gu An'an ran wildly all the way to the empty parking lot, stopped when no one was around, and gasped slightly while leaning on the gray wall.

The air in the parking lot was even colder and stuffy, and the chill penetrated into his body, Gu An'an rubbed his hands unconsciously.

But he didn't rest for 2 minutes, and there was a heart-piercing cry from behind the corner, which made the air tremble——

"A wolf-hearted guy! I have worked hard with you for so many years, and you fucking treat your ex-partner like this?!"

Gu An'an raised his head, the drunkenness in his eyes was shaken back a bit, replaced by deep doubts, could he bump into someone as unlucky as him in the middle of the night?

A few cold male voices and fast footsteps came from the other end.

Driven by curiosity, Gu Anan held her breath, walked slowly to the corner, and poked her head out bit by bit——

There was a suffocating low pressure in the dark parking garage. Two strong men like bodyguards clasped a middle-aged man's shoulders, restraining his intention to move forward.The middle-aged man struggled, his eyes were red and he stared forward angrily, and hissed, "Pei Ji, when you fucking snatched our bid, you didn't miss the old relationship at all, and didn't give you a way to survive?! You know that It is our company's lifesaver!"

After hearing the word Pei Ji, Gu An'an unconsciously froze for a moment, and followed the young man's gaze.

It is the back of a young man.

The man was wearing a well-tailored black windbreaker and was hidden in the night. The dim yellow light outlined his tall and thin figure, and his fingers like strong bamboo smelt the smoke from time to time.

From the beginning to the end, the man stood by the car and smoked indifferently, as if the struggle and roar of the middle-aged man had nothing to do with him.

It seemed that the middle-aged man was too noisy, the young man flicked the cigarette on his fingertips, and said a few words indifferently: "Chen Teng, from the moment you betrayed me and walked out of the company, you should be ready to be competed."

The sound is scattered in the night, with a lazy texture.

The voice of the middle-aged man gradually became sad: "I'm about to be in debt for tens of millions, and all the family property is lost here. I have a wife and children, what should they do! Mr. Pei, look at it for the sake of fighting the country together... ..”

"The winner is the loser." Pei Ji interrupted coldly, "The business world doesn't care about feelings."

After the words fell, the two bodyguards understood, and walked back with the aggressive middle-aged man on their backs.

"Pei Ji, you're not a fucking human! Just wait for me!"

And Gu An'an in the corner couldn't stand anymore immediately, he recognized this man's voice, even turning into ashes!Although they had been separated for many years after graduating from high school, who else could there be besides Pei Ji for this man whose scope of pretentiousness overlaps with his!

Good guy, he hasn't found someone to settle the score yet, and this person slammed into the door by himself.

Gu An'an clenched his fist secretly, thinking how to beat this arch-rival to call him father, but unexpectedly stepped on a branch on the ground.

"Squeak-"

The voice wasn't too loud, but Pei Ji, who had excellent hearing, still turned his head slightly, and his gaze was directed towards Gu An'an.

The dim light hit Pei Ji's pale side face, outlining the gloomy and sharp facial features, and the narrow and long phoenix eyes revealed a strong sense of oppression.

Gu An'an was caught off guard and met Pei Ji's cold and stern eyes, and the thorns that had been erected instantly fell down.But thinking of the fear of being dominated by the name Pei Ji for many years, Young Master Gu summoned up the courage from nowhere, and stared back viciously: "Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!"

He thought he was extremely vicious, but that youthful, prettier face than a girl's, paired with fluffy and slightly curly hair, looked like a proud cat.

Not only is it not scary, but it makes people feel like stroking his hair.

Pei Ji looked at Gu An'an quietly for a few seconds.

"What are you looking at!" Gu Anan hummed.

Another casual look!Every time Gu An'an saw Pei Ji's eyes, he wanted to rush up and beat him up, but considering that he was a gentleman, it was fine.

But at this moment, with the help of alcohol, he thought that the goddess he had been in love with for many years had mercilessly rejected him because of this boy, and made him feed the dog painstakingly for many years. Gu Anan's anger, which had been suppressed for a day, rushed to his brain, and his body began to disobey: "Pei! Ji! I want to kill—Angangang—you!"

Before Gu An'an finished speaking, he thought that a tiger (cat) had come out of the cage and rushed towards Pei Ji.

Unexpectedly, he kicked a stone halfway, his voice trembled, and the soles of his feet crooked and fell forward.

The bodyguards who were about to attack were all stunned. Did you hear me right? This man is gnashing his teeth and wants to kill Ang... the president of our family? !

Boss Pei was also slightly taken aback. He had heard of people who wanted to kill him and revenge on him, but he had never heard of anyone daring to rape him.

"boom!"

In a daze, as soon as Mr. Pei retracted the hand holding the hot cigarette butt to his side, he felt that he was hit by a soft body like a small animal, and then lost consciousness.
