In fact, from the moment she decided to confess to Jiang Nana, she was prepared to lose this friend.

But I still feel sad.

Jiang Nana stood there with a dazed look in her eyes.

A big warm hand wrapped around her shoulders, and she turned around to see it was Shen Yuhan.

"Are you okay?" He looked at her worriedly. Although he didn't know what they talked about, he knew that Nana had quarreled with Xu Wan before.

Jiang Nana just shook her head and said nothing.

When Xu Wan returned to the car, she met Gu Huaizhi's earnest gaze.

Ever since Xu Wan opened up to him and knew that she was coming to confess to Nana, he insisted on following her and did not want her to leave his sight for even a step.

"Wanwan, no matter what, you still have me." He looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously depressed and assured her.

Xu Wan's gaze fell on him. The man was still wearing a hospital gown, his face was pale, and he looked frail.

"Take care of your health first and don't make me worry about you, then you can say this." Xu Wan couldn't help laughing.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, but his hold on Xu Wan's hand did not loosen at all.

Xu Wan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Actually, I'm very sad, but I feel relieved." She did not hide anything from Nana. She told her everything and felt much better.

The heat goes as quickly as it comes.

The hot searches for Xu Wan and Gu Huaizhi were quickly overtaken by those for other stars.

Gu Huaizhi stayed in the hospital for half a month. As soon as he was discharged, Gong Yucheng immediately organized a party to welcome him back.

The box was booked at the Four Seasons Hotel.

When Xu Wan and Gu Huaizhi arrived, almost everyone else had come. They were all young men from aristocratic families and noble ladies who got along well with Gong Yucheng.

"Huaizhi, how come you got drunk again? Stay away from alcohol for the next few months." Gong Yucheng went up to him as soon as he saw him.

He saw Xu Wan beside Gu Huaizhi, and his expression was a little awkward.

Although he didn't know the twists and turns, Xu Wan almost became his aunt.

He also asked the reason, but they were unwilling to mention it, so he could only let it go.

"You won't call anyone?" Gu Huaizhi said calmly.

Understanding what he meant, Gong Yucheng still looked at Xu Wan and called out softly, "Sister-in-law."

For a moment, everyone called Xu Wan "Sister-in-law" enthusiastically.

Xu Wan just nodded at them with a smile and followed Gu Huaizhi.

"Okay, Huaizhi doesn't like everyone surrounding him like this. Go play when you need to play, and eat when you need to eat." Gong Yucheng said loudly.

For a moment, everyone agreed loudly, some went back to play mahjong, some went back to play finger grabbing, and some continued to tinker with their instruments.

Xu Wan and Gu Huaizhi chose a sofa in the corner and sat down, and Gong Yucheng asked someone to bring two fruit plates.

Gu Huaizhi's eyes were always on Xu Wan. Seeing that she was not interested, he asked, "Don't you like to eat?"

Xu Wan shook his head: "I want to drink juice."

Gu Huaizhi raised his head and looked towards Gong Yucheng.

Gong Yucheng: "...Okay, I'll get it!"

"Don't make it too cold, just room temperature is fine." Gu Huaizhi did not forget to give another instruction.

"That's quite particular." He said with some dissatisfaction, but soon came back with the juice.

"Thank you." Xu Wan thanked politely, took the orange juice and took a sip.

"So what was going on between you and my uncle before?" Gong Yucheng sat down opposite them, still asking without giving up.

Xu Wan looked at Gu Huaizhi, and Gu Huaizhi also looked at her. The two of them looked at each other as if there was no one else around, with smiles of tacit understanding on their faces.

"Are you guys listening to me?" He took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry.

"I heard it." Gu Huaizhi said.

"What's going on?" Gong Yucheng was looking forward to their answer.

"I didn't plan to tell you." Xu Wan crossed his arms over his chest and said lightly.

"Why? I really felt sorry for you." Gong Yucheng looked at Gu Huaizhi and accused him.

Xu Wan lowered her head and took another sip of juice. Gu Huaizhi lowered his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers, but he showed no intention of speaking.

"Speaking of which, my uncle is also weird. Ever since he took Xu Wan back and left the next day, he has never returned to the Gong family. The old man issued a death order, but he remained indifferent. I don't know what he is up to." Gong Yucheng murmured in confusion.

Xu Wan knew that Gong Yilu had not given up his plan to return to the 21st century.

Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but hold Xu Wan's hand tightly, fearing that the person would disappear if he wasn't careful.

"Huaizhi, don't say I didn't remind you. My uncle has always played by his own rules. He has been missing for so long. Aren't you afraid that he might have some big trick up his sleeve to deal with you? After all, he treats Xu Wan..." His eyes fell on Xu Wan, and the meaning was self-evident.

It is obvious that Gong Yilu covets Xu Wan.

"Alright, I'm not his target. I'm just here for him." Xu Wan couldn't bear to hear it anymore. "Besides, what's your business? You don't need to worry about it!"

"Am I worrying about nothing? Didn't you run away from my uncle once? I'm telling you, you have a criminal record!" Gong Yucheng said unyieldingly.

Xu Wan glared at him, "What do you mean by running away with your uncle? I am a human being. I can walk and run by myself. I don't need to follow anyone!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Huaizhi didn't want to hear it either, so he spoke out to stop him.

"Wanwan, drink some juice." He picked up the orange juice and fed it to Xu Wan's mouth.

Xu Wan lowered his head and took a sip.

"I called Jinxuan, why hasn't he come yet?" Gong Yucheng looked at his watch in confusion.

"I'm not saying that your cousin seems to be doing nothing and is a playboy with no knowledge or skills. Your old lady asked him to join the company to gain experience, and he actually does things in a proper manner."

Gu Huaizhi's eyes were filled with smiles, "There are no mediocre people in the Gu family."

"You are still proud." Gong Yucheng curled his lips and said, "You were the one who facilitated the acquisition of Lingsheng Group. If you hand it over to him, wouldn't that be making wedding clothes for others?"

Xu Wan also smiled and said nothing. After all, Gu Jinxuan was the second male lead in the book, so it was impossible for him to be a playboy.

"We all have the surname Gu, so there's no need to worry too much." Gu Huaizhi said calmly.

"You are so generous! Asking you for a project is harder than climbing to the sky!"

"Your last name is not Gu." Gu Huaizhi said without hesitation.

"Pfft——" Xu Wan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gong Yucheng was so angry that his hands were shaking as he pointed at him. He said with great sorrow, "Okay, okay, we were childhood sweethearts. I was wrong about our friendship for so many years."

"I thought you were going to say that you could take his surname Gu!" Xu Wan also teased.

"If he can give me the project at hand as he did to Gu Jinxuan, I can really take his last name!" Gong Yucheng was no longer heartbroken and responded readily.

"Go ask my grandmother if she's willing to take you in as her grandson."
