I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor

"He did come to me and asked me when the wedding would be held and why I didn't send him an invitation."

Yuan Shenghe took out a golden lighter from his pocket, which flashed brightly under the light. When he didn't find a cigarette, he put it back.

Zhou Yuliang laughed heartily, "Every time this guy is busy performing surgery, he forgets the time. He probably thinks a year has passed."

The two of them talked as they returned to the birthday banquet hall.

I happened to see Citigroup still greeting guests.

The birthday banquet was almost over. Many people who had finished eating had left, while some were drunk and were arranged by the Hua family to stay overnight in a hotel.

In order to prevent this situation, the Hua family had already booked the rooms on the third and fourth floors of the hotel.

There are enough rooms even if all guests stay overnight.

"Have you seen Wen Ze?" Yuan Shenghe hadn't seen Gu Wen Ze for a while.

"No, it seems like I haven't seen him for quite a while."

Huaqi Yu also knew about Yuan Shenghe’s cousin Gu Wenzhe.

Yuan Shenghe had introduced Gu Wenzhe and the Hua family to a project they had collaborated on before.

Yuan Shenghe nodded.

"He is such an adult and can take care of himself. Just don't worry about him," said Zhou Yuliang.

"He hasn't been in a good state in the past few days." Yuan Shenghe was not worried about him, but was just wondering why he had been absent-minded recently.

"That's right. Even at such a big birthday party for Mr. Hua today, he seems a little out of spirits."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Yuliang also recalled something.

Normally in such large occasions, Gu Wen Ze would take the initiative to stay by Yuan Shenghe's side for at least some time.

Not only was there no one there today, but there was no one in sight, which was a bit abnormal.

"Do you want to give him a call?" Zhou Yuliang asked.

"No need. He's already such a grown-up and manages a company. If there's something he can't solve, he'll come to me himself."

Yuan Shenghe said this as he walked outside.

"Then where are you going?" Zhou Yuliang asked from behind.

"Looking for Ji Yu."

Zhou Yuliang stopped, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Cheng Mo.

- Buddy, your wish to attend a wedding may come true soon. In someone's eyes, your cousin is not as important as his wife.

As usual, there was no reply from the other end. In this situation, he was either performing surgery or immersed in research. I was used to it.

Yuan Shenghe came to the previous entertainment lounge, and as soon as he approached, he heard the laughter of two people coming from inside.

The other person was not Zou Dongjun as he thought, nor was he Yu Xiaohui.

He recognized her immediately. She was the girl that Ji Yu had met when he first arrived at the birthday party.

The two of them leaned on the edge of the bar, and the warm yellow light above the wine cabinet enveloped them, as if they were wrapped in a soft halo, isolating them from the world around them.

Their faces were filled with relaxed and happy smiles, and they were talking in low voices from time to time.

It seemed that Ji Yu said something interesting and the girl was laughing.

Yuan Shenghe did not walk over, but stood at the door and watched quietly. The light from the corridor behind him only shone on his back, casting an even darker shadow on his face.

Ji Yu suddenly sneezed. Why did he suddenly feel a little cold?

Yu Yinyin was about to ask him when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the person standing at the door and squinted her eyes to look at him for a while.

The next second, she showed a look as if she had seen a ghost.

Ji Yu felt that her expression was familiar.

Following his gaze, I saw the person standing at the door behind him.

"Yuan Shenghe, have you finished your talk? Why are you the only one here?"

Compared to Yu Yinyin who needed careful identification, Ji Yu only saw a silhouette and recognized her instantly.

Yuan Shenghe walked over slowly, and the shadow on his body gradually disappeared as he approached.

"We've finished the talk. Zhou Yuliang has other things to do. And where's Yu Xiaohui? I thought you were with him."

"He was called away by someone else, so I was waiting for you here alone. I happened to run into Yu Yinyin, the girl I met at the door before. Do you remember her? I didn't expect that she was Yu Xiaohui's cousin."

Ji Yu introduced Yu Yinyin to Yuan Shenghe. Although she had been overly enthusiastic and behaved like a slut before, after a few careful conversations, he found that Yu Yinyin had a cheerful personality and that was just superficial.

Yu Yinyin felt like crying but had no tears. She originally wanted to run away, but this time was different from before.

The door was blocked by Yuan Shenghe, so she had to pass by him if she wanted to leave.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan, I'm Yu Xiaohui's cousin, my name is Yu Yinyin."

Yu Yinyin was a little afraid of Yuan Shenghe. She and Yu Xiaohui were very good cousins, so she had met Yuan Shenghe several times.

But she was very afraid of Yuan Shenghe. Every time she saw him, she felt like she was facing her grandfather.

Her grandfather was a very dignified man, and he was very strict with his younger generations since they were young.

She was not like her other brothers and sisters, who had a strong learning ability and high talent. She felt tortured every time and became more afraid of her grandfather.

"Yeah." Yuan Shenghe's voice was very cold, and the aura of a superior made him look even more serious and indifferent.

"Don't be so serious. Can't you see that she is afraid of you?"

Ji Yu discovered it the first time they met.

"Are you afraid of me?" Yuan Shenghe's gaze fell on Yu Yinyin.

Yu Yinyin put her hands behind her back and kept picking at her nails, with a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.

"No, I still have to go find my parents. They might be waiting for me. You guys chat. I'm leaving first."

She spoke out almost word for word, as if a robot was reciting.

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for their reaction.

That back view looked like someone was running away.

Ji Yu chuckled, "She is really afraid of you. This is the first time I've seen it. He was like this when he saw you at the gate before. He ran away like a mouse seeing a cat."

Ji Yu laughed for a while before realizing that Yuan Shenghe was very quiet.

When I looked up, I saw him staring at me. His eyes were deep, like a deep lake. The surface was calm, but it seemed as if it contained a violent storm. They were sharp and deep, and there was a sense of oppression that struck people's hearts.

Ji Yu's heart moved slightly, and this look made him inexplicably feel a little scared.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

It made him a little scared. It seemed normal for little girls to be afraid of Yuan Shenghe, a man like him.

Yuan Shenghe walked towards him without saying anything.

Ji Yuze subconsciously stepped back, and his back soon hit the edge of the bar, with nowhere to go.

Because Yuan Shenghe opened his arms, leaned on the bar on both sides of him, and held him in his arms.

This posture was obviously very ambiguous, and Ji Yu finally noticed it.

This is someone else's birthday party. Although there is no one in the entertainment room now, it is not a good idea.

He couldn't help but speak.

"You... um."

The words of persuasion were blocked in the next second.

A figure stood at the open door, staring through the door frame with wide eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief.
