Wen Yanqing had always been open about his love for her. He hoped everyone would know he loved her and that they belonged together.
It was a statement that seemed to say: ‘Don’t covet what isn’t yours or try ingratiating yourself with me.’
To the special someone he loved, Wen Yanqing showered her with tender affections, something no other could receive. It was a form of preferential treatment that promised security.
As partners on the dance floor, Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang attracted many eyes and wagging tongues.
“I’ve seldom seen Mr. Wen dance,” a man in a gray tie said.
“That’s because he hadn’t met anyone qualified to be his dancer.”
The man from C City smiled. “Many young women would be interested in becoming his dance partner.”
The man in the blue suit smiled. “Then you might not know. All these years, only the daughter of the Lin family can stand beside him. She’s the one you saw dancing with him.”
Lin family? Did he mean the Lin family, who had Lin Zhaonan for a head? Was it the man with whom he had exchanged business cards just now?
“Yes, that was my sister.”
The beautiful ballroom was at full capacity, and the guests danced to the music, laughing joyfully.
Gu Zhichuan stared at Lin Gantang’s skirt, which fluttered as she spun. Her beautiful figure and affectionate smile struck her.
Lin Gantang had often danced and laughed with him, but now she was beside someone else.
He could not take his eyes off them, yet the longer he stared, the greater his torment. He watched them smile at each other, dancing perfectly in sync, exchanging quick pecks here and there.
“President Gu, Miss Shi called just now,” Secretary Pei said.
“Don’t worry about her. You don’t have to report her actions to me,” Gu Zhichuan said coldly.
“Alright.”
Secretary Pei followed his gaze and looked away.
She was the female companion that Gu Zhichuan had brought with him. Secretary Pei was surprised that her boss did not bring Miss Shi along.
Secretary Pei had worked at Gu Industries for several years. She knew that Lin Gantang was Gu Zhichuan’s ex-girlfriend. The two almost married, but they eventually parted ways.
Yet, even now, she still held a place in Gu Zhichun’s eyes. Gu Zhichuan was probably regretting his decision.
Although her superior was capable, Secretary Pei felt that Gu Zhichuan was not as good as Wen Yanqing from an outsider’s perspective.
Wen Yanqing was completely devoted to one person, causing Lin Gantang’s would-be suitors to retreat in fear. The only woman who ever appeared by his side was Lin Gantang; there was no other anyone would ever consider. When they spoke of Wen Yanqing, Lin Gantang was always joined in connection with him.
As for Gu Zhichuan… Secretary Pei kept her thoughts to himself.
There were very few people like Wen Yanqing in the world. Most people were more like Gu Zhichuan. They would only learn regret when it was too late.
Secretary Pei did not think that Lin Gantang would return to his side. Who would be willing to turn back, especially if she was already being given the world?
“Let’s go.” Gu Zhichuan took one last look at Lin Gantang before turning to leave.
Secretary Pei was surprised. She thought that Gu Zhichuan would wait until the music stopped and asked for a dance or to say a few words to Miss Lin.
Lin Gantang no longer cared about Gu Zhichuan, so she naturally did not notice whether he came or went.
At the end of the banquet, the people who had gained something gradually left.
“It’s dark. It’s cold outside.” Wen Yanqing draped his suit jacket over Lin Gantang.
“I don’t think I saw Shi Jun today…” Lin Gantang mumbled.
“He wanted to transfer his mother to another hospital, but he was worried that it wouldn’t be handled properly, so he’s doing it himself..”
