Hearing that voice, Su Wan and Gu Zihang turned around and looked together.
They saw Sheng Anâning standing in the corridor. The light over her face shone on her and made her look like a blooming crabapple. She was breathtakingly beautiful!
Gu Zihang was slightly taken aback. His original sadness and affection suddenly dispersed. Stunned, he looked at Sheng Anâning, then at Su Wan.
Both of them were strangely similar in terms of facial features. If one were to ask a few passersby, many would think Su Wan and Sheng Anâning were biological sisters.
However, Sheng Anâning was more femininely beautiful with a sense of delicate innocence between her brows while Su Wanâs temperament was cold ever since she married Jiang Xuecheng.
Sheng Anâning walked over quickly and looked at Gu Zihang from head to toe, leaving no trace.
Glancing from far a while ago, she felt this man had an outstanding appearance. Now that she looked from near, he had indeed not disappointed her.
Su Wan didnât know how much of their argument Sheng Anâning had heard but even if she had heard everything, Su Wan didnât mind.
She and Gu Zihang were now strangers and in a way, even worse than strangers.
âAnâning, this is Gu Groupâs CEO, Mr. Gu Zihang.â
Sheng Anâning nodded and stretched out her hand in a friendly manner. âHello, Iâm Sheng Anâning.â
A light flashed through Gu Zihangâs eyes very quickly. He had heard this name before! It was said that she was the granddaughter of the Jiang old manâs subordinate and had been fostered in the Jiang family since young...
Gu Zihang stretched out his hand naturally. âHello, Iâm Gu Zihang.â
When Su Wan saw how Sheng Anâning and Gu Zihang felt like old friends during their first meet, her expression was complicated.
She looked at Sheng Anâning and a faint smile appeared on her lips. âAnâning, Iâll go back first.â
Sheng Anâning nodded. Then, she chatted with Gu Zihang eagerly. It was not because she had taken a fancy to Gu Zihang but she was interested in Gu Zihangâs and Su Wanâs argument.
She believed that a husband would not feel happy if another man were to entangle with his wife.
This man, Gu Zihang was indeed a person she could use.
Sheng Anâning tilted her face and there was innocent light in her eyes.
âMr. Gu, whatâs your relationship with my sister-in-law? Both of you seem familiar but my sister-in-law doesnât seem to treat you as her friend?â
Gu Zihang looked at Sheng Anâningâs face who was very similar to Su Wan and his emotions floated far away. It turned out that there were people who looked alike in this world.
Gu Zihang regained his senses when Sheng Anâning asked again, he heaved a melancholic sigh and replied slowly, âBefore March this year, I was Wanâs fiancé but Iâve let her down...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A sudden wave of surprise hit Sheng Anâning. She had not expected Gu Zihang to have such complicated dispute with Su Wan!
It was currently only end of May and it meant that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan had known one another for two months at most!
How strong could a short two-month relationship be?
A provoking smile appeared on Sheng Anâningâs face. She raised her brows and probed, âMr. Gu, do you still like my sister-in-law? I have liked a man until now but he has married someone else.â
If only she could make Gu Zihang her ally, things would be simpler...
Upon hearing this, Gu Zihang was taken aback. He looked at Sheng Anâningâs water-colored eyes from above.
She was wearing a faint smile, like the most tender and beautiful flower in spring on a high tree top which could only be viewed from a distance and not be played with.
However, hidden under this flower was its toxic pungency. Those who picked the flower would end up dead.
Hearing Sheng Anâningâs genuine expression, Gu Zihangâs gloomy look calmed down. He raised his brows as he asked, âCould the person you like the one Iâm thinking?â
Sheng Anâning smiled a gentle smile and passed Gu Zihang a name card with gold stamping.
âWith your wisdom, you shouldâve guessed easily. Today is not a good time to talk. When youâre free, Iâd like to give you a treat.â
As she spoke, she turned around and walked toward the private room.
Gu Zihang looked at Sheng Anâningâs curvaceous and graceful back. He crumpled the name card in his palm, harder and harder.
This woman called Sheng Anâning was like a rose with thorns. It was the first time they had ever met and she was so daring to test him. It showed the depth of her mind.
Gu Zihang loathed women who had scheming minds. This was also why he hated Su Yurou later.
However, it was an option to make Sheng Anâning an ally.
Sheng Anâning liked Jiang Xuecheng and he liked Su Wan. Each of them could take what they wanted and they could both live in peace.
***
When Sheng Anâning returned to the private room, everyone was almost full.
Jiang Haoxuan darted Sheng Anâning a look of dissatisfaction and grumbled, âAnâning, why did you take so long?â
Sheng Anâning looked down shyly and sat down beside Jiang Haoxuan as she explained softly, âI had a stomach ache just now, thatâs why I came back late...â
Su Wan gave Sheng Anâning a quiet look and didnât believe what she said. If she had guessed correctly, Sheng Anâning had chatted with Gu Zihang for a long time.
Could Gu Zihang have taken a fancy to Sheng Anâning?
However, it was hard to say because Sheng Anâning was a real beauty.
With heartache, Luo Xiuxiu touched Sheng Anâningâs forehead. âDid you stay abroad for too long and have trouble adjusting now?â
Sheng Anâning shook her head smilingly. âDonât worry, Grandmother. Iâm healthy.â
Luo Xiuxiu looked at Sheng Anâning disapprovingly and pointed at her cheeks. âWhen we get back to the old mansion, Iâll get Dr. Xu to check on you.â
Suddenly, Jiang Xuecheng stood up and interrupted the conversation between Luo Xiuxiu and Sheng Anâning.
âItâs almost time, Wan Wan and I will make a move first.â
Xu Zhiyao paled slightly when she heard what Jiang Xuecheng said. She looked at him pleadingly and asked, âXuecheng, today, Haoxuan and Anâning are back. Canât you follow us back to the old mansion and stay for a night?â
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head. âWan Wan and I are going to the hospital to visit her friend later. We wonât go back.â
Desolation flashed through Xu Ziyaoâs beautiful eyes. She enjoined and replied, âAlright then, traffic is heavy on weekends. Drive carefully.â
Jiang Xuecheng nodded slightly. Then, Su Wan stood up too and waved to everyone in the private room.
When they got into the Koenigsegg Agera R, Su Wan took out the pen that Sheng Anâning had given to Jiang Xuecheng and waved in front of him as he drove.
âA one of a kind pen sounds good.â
Jiang Xuecheng darted her a look and with a faint smile, said, âJust give it to Ah Si. He would like it.â
Su Wan shrugged. She took out the little bluish-purple bottle of perfume and uncapped the bottle. Instantly, a faint fragrance lingered in her nose.
