After Wen Niannan’s hand was thrown back, he said with a bitter smile, “Haha, who do I think I am? How could you be jealous of me…

Gu Yansheng’s eyes grew even colder, then he turned to look at Xiao Li.

“Let’s go, to Luoan’s house.”

Xiao Li was a little stunned and said slowly, “But… but Mr. Gu, don’t you have the project to go talk about in the afternoon? Aren’t you going?”

Gu Yansheng then looked at Wen Niannan coldly and said sharply, “Of course I’m going. I’ll bring Luoan with me and introduce everyone to my lover!”

A tone of sadness flashed in Wen Niannan’s eyes as he tensed his lips.

Gu Yansheng pushed Xiao Li aside and opened the door. While sitting in the seat, he looked indifferently at Wen Niannan. Then he started the car. Xiao Li quickly followed and got in with him.

“You this scum…” Tang Shuo gritted his teeth angrily. But just when he was about to move, Wen Niannan grabbed him.

“Enough… Tang Shuo, enough…”

“But he…”

“It’s okay. I’m fine. I don’t care anymore.”

He was already glad that Gu Yansheng and Tang Shuo didn’t run into a conflict again this time. He was no longer as foolish as before to hope for a response, there was no need for that…

Wen Niannan looked down at his hand then suddenly froze. The ring was gone…

Looking around with a pale face, he finally found the ring not too far away. Just as he was about to go pick it up, Gu Yansheng’s car suddenly ran over it.

Until Gu Yansheng’s car drove away, Wen Niannan was still standing in place unresponsive.

He walked over and slowly crouched down, picking it up. Then he put it back onto his finger, turned his head, looked at Tang Shuo, and covered his hand on his forehead.

“Is your head hurting?” Tang Shuo rose his hand, wanting to touch his forehead, but Wen Niannan took a step back and avoided him.

“Tang Shuo, you should leave…”

Wen Niannan didn’t dare to look at Tang Shuo’s expression and lowered his head.

“Okay… I’ll leave… sorry Niannan, I’ll protect you one day, trust me. Once I’m strong enough, I’ll come back for you.”

Tang Shuo’s eyes seemed to be shining and an unreadable expression seemed to be in his eyes.

When Wen Niannan returned to the house, he saw Aunt Lan looking anxiously at the door. Seeing him back, she was finally relieved.

“Sir, where did you go?”

“I was just walking around outside.”

“It’s cold, please come in and allow me to get you a change of clothes.

Wen Niannan turned to look at the sunflower seeds in the flower bed. He tightened his lips then went upstairs.

Gu Yansheng arrived at Shen Luoan’s house and brought him to the hotel where he had reserved a room. Just as the two arrived, someone immediately came to lead the way.

The project that everyone has been fighting for ended up being the Jiang Family winning. The Jiang Family was a big power family in Nation M, so all of the corporations coming tonight could not be underestimated.

“Yansheng, is it really okay for me to be here? You are here to talk about the project, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be present.”

“How so? With me here, they wouldn’t dare to say a thing about you.”

The waiter who led the way opened the door gently and bowed, “Mr. Gu, we’re here.”

Gu Yansheng entered with a cold face. There were already some people inside chatting and drinking. They didn’t react much when they saw him coming.

“Huh? You’re here too? Where’s your mother?”

The man in the gray suit standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window laughed, “I thought it would be Mrs. Lu present from Gu Family Corporation, didn’t expect it to be Mr. Gu. It seems that your mother isn’t taking today’s project very seriously.

Gu Yansheng ignored them and went straight for the sofa. Only then did everyone notice the person behind him.

“This is?”

Gu Yansheng held Shen Luoan’s hand and let him sit down beside him. Then he said coldly to the others, “Shen Luoan.”

“This must be your partner?”

The man who was in front of the window came over. He looked at Shen Luoan and gently shook the glass in his hand.

“What partner, this is just a little lover he got outside, a little wild cat. Mr. Gu, you’re lucky, I saw you and your little lover’s video. You look very nice on camera, maybe consider being a star.”

“Shen Luoan? I think I heard my servant talk about this name, I think he was some piano prince? Tsk tsk, Mr. Gu is quite lucky.”

“Mr. Han, I think you look pretty handsome too, you can try being a star. Aren’t you pretty good at hooking people up? Haha.”

Listening to everyone’s jokes, the smile on Shen Luoan’s face was almost stiff. But he didn’t dare to say anything.

Gu Yansheng picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. Then he looked around, “I think it’s about enough.”

Seeing that Gu Yansheng was about to be angry, the others stopped talking and started to discuss the project.

The door was pushed open again. Everyone looked towards there and saw that the head of the Jiang Family walked in. Everyone showed some respectful expressions.

Gu Yansheng stood up and nodded, “Mr. Jiang.”

Mr. Jiang glanced at Shen Luoan behind him. He showed some dissatisfaction with a frown but didn’t say anything.

“Sorry to keep everyone waiting, let’s sit down and discuss while eating.”

The people present weren’t here for the wine and food on the table at all. They were all busy talking about the details of the project. Gu Yansheng was drinking absent-mindedly without speaking.

Shen Luoan suddenly tugged his clothes. Gu Yansheng turned his head to him and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I want to go use the restroom.”

“Mm, go ahead.”

Gu Yansheng poured himself another glass of wine and drank it. He gently touched his forehead and stared at the glass blankly.

Gu Yansheng was particularly irritated right now. He couldn’t help but think about the scene today, think about the words that Wen Niannan said.

Gu Yansheng, are you jealous…

Are you jealous…
