Still blocking the doorway, he said calmly, "I don't want to."

Jiang Yan came out of the kitchen and put the last plate of vegetables on the table, and then saw Shangguan Du and Xie Shiren through the crack in the door.

She paused for a moment, "Master Du, Young Master Xie, why aren't you coming in?"

"Miss Jiang," Xie Shiren said, waving the food box in his hand, "would you like some roast meat and side dishes?"

When Jiang Yan saw the words "Jiuying Restaurant" on the pink wooden box, her eyes lit up.

Even if you have money, you might not be able to eat at Jiuying Restaurant!

All the ingredients are air-freighted in daily!

A single meal costs at least half a house!

The key point is that she ate it last time and found it incredibly delicious!

Jiang Yan quickly replied, "Thank you so much! We were just about to have hot pot, would you like to join us?"

Shangguan Du kept his eyes fixed on Gu Qingyan, and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, but Miss Gu said it's inconvenient, so we'll have to take our leave now."

This smells like tea.

"No, no, that's not true, it's very convenient for us!" How could Jiang Yan just stand by and watch something being delivered right to her mouth run away?

Shangguan Du remained looking at Gu Qingyan, showing no intention of moving. "Miss Gu, I'm afraid you don't welcome us."

Gu Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

He looked very unhappy.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

She reached out and pushed aside Gu Qingyan, who was blocking the doorway, and invited them in.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Shangguan Du nodded slightly, his demeanor both refined and roguish, "Thank you, I'm sorry to have bothered you!"

Gu Qingyan raised her eyes and glanced at him expressionlessly.

Disturb your sister...

……

Gu Mingqi picked up Sheng Jinheng at the airport.

His voice was nonchalant, his eyebrows and eyes were arrogant, and there was a hint of teasing in it, "Xiao Ming, how are you? Did you miss me? I'm back, aren't you happy?"

“Hmm,” Gu Mingqi suddenly felt less disgusted when this person called him Xiaoming; perhaps he felt a pang of pity.

He stood aloof in the airport lobby, enduring a brief hug from him, his voice indifferent, "It's good that you're back."

"What?" Sheng Jinheng on the other end was a little surprised. "Why are you so strange? If I used to call you that, you would have rolled your eyes long ago."

Gu Mingqi glanced at the bustling hall behind him, a fleeting look of pity in his eyes, and too lazy to argue with him. "Hmm."

He helped Sheng Jinheng push his suitcase out.

Sheng Jinheng stared in disbelief as Gu Mingqi walked out. "That's all he reacted to?"

Shangguan Yan, who was standing next to him, said, "He's probably exhausted from too many lawsuits. After all, there are just too many people looking for him."

Shangguan Yan immediately changed the subject, but still couldn't help but laugh.

What if he finds out that his sister has been stolen away?

The third young master of the Sheng family, like Xie Shiren, was arrogant and domineering since childhood. No one in the family could control him, except for Shangguandu.

Not to mention Sheng Jinheng, even Chairman Sheng was intimidated by him.

Despite being of the same generation as Shangguan Du's father, Sheng Ming's father dared not even raise his voice when addressing the younger generation.

Upon hearing Shangguan Yan mention this, Sheng Jinheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Let's go back quickly,"

Shangguan Yan was silent for a few seconds, then decided to let the poor child go. Caring for the mentally challenged is everyone's responsibility!

Sheng Jinheng tossed a few pieces of chewing gum into his mouth. "I heard that Brother Du has been looking for a woman lately. Has he found one?"

"what?"

Shangguan Yan was taken aback. "A woman? I haven't heard of that... When did this happen?"

Speaking of women, Shangguan Yan immediately thought of how eager his master was for Miss Gu, but he knew that Sheng Jinheng was not asking about Miss Gu, so he dared not say more.

……

Yi Mo did not know Shangguan Du and Xie Shiren.

Just by looking at their clothes and their demeanor, I could tell they weren't ordinary people.

She quickly added two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Fu Zhihan's gaze lingered on the two men before finally settling on Shangguan Du.

Fu Zhihan is now considered a talented young actor in the entertainment industry.

But compared to Shangguan Du, his status as a movie star is somewhat lacking.

Most importantly, the way this man looked at Gu Qingyan was even more direct than his!

Fu Zhihan felt that the picture of Shangguan Du was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

There are many people in the entertainment industry who look alike, so he didn't think of anything else.

Shangguan Du went straight to sit down next to Gu Qingyan and put his hand on the back of Gu Qingyan's chair to assert his ownership.

Seeing the red wine on Gu Qingyan's table, he took it to his own side, grabbed a bottle of juice from the side, inserted a straw, and handed it to Gu Qingyan.

Shangguan Tian took everything out of the food box.

Shangguan Du picked up a skewer of grilled meat and handed it to her.

Gu Qingyan looked at the man's slender, well-defined hands.

She was still wearing that necklace on her wrist, and it stung her eyes.

Gu Qingyan suddenly laughed so hard her eyes were dazzled. She picked up the roast meat, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.

He said in a lazy and nonchalant tone, "Master Du, let's call it even."

Having this meal with him was her way of repaying the kindness she received last night. If he interfered again, she wouldn't hold back and would just beat him up.

Shangguan Du looked at her from the side, his expression unchanging, but his eyes softened slightly.

His voice was deep, magnetic, and pleasant, "Miss Gu wants to... settle accounts with me?"

Gu Qingyan took the last bite of meat, put down the skewer, picked up a tissue to wipe it, and smiled slightly. "But since we've only met by chance, it's better to settle things."

"A chance encounter?" Shangguan Du picked up a skewer of roasted chicken from the table, handed it to Gu Qingyan, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You slept in my room last night, Miss Gu, how can you call this a chance encounter?"

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Unable to refute it...

Everyone: "..."

"Qingyan?" Jiang Yan jumped to her feet, her voice shrill, "What's going on? You and Master Du..."

Shangguan Du asked doubtfully, "Didn't I already make it clear? Gu Qingyan slept in my bed last night..." He turned to look at Gu Xun, who was diligently grilling skewers across from him, his eyes filled with icy sarcasm, "Don't tell me you don't want to admit it. Your brother Gu Xun also stayed at my place last night." Finally, his gaze lingered on Fu Zhihan, "Your brother is also a witness. Shouldn't that make us acquainted?"

Xie Shiren spat out the wine he had just drunk upon hearing this, "Pfft!"

He stared at Shangguandu in shock.

Brother Du, that was incredibly fast! You practically kidnapped him and took him home.

So now you're coming to my door, asking for a formal status?!

He and Shangguan Tian exchanged a glance.

The skewers that Gu Xun was holding fell onto the table.

Everyone else froze, their eating motions halting mid-air, food falling from their chopsticks. Hearing such a huge secret, they stared at each other in disbelief.

Jiang Yan was somewhat incredulous and glared angrily at Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan continued eating her grilled meat slowly and deliberately, and said with a wry smile, "You and I aren't in the same room."

Shangguan Du gazed intently at her, saying nothing more.

Seeing this, the others all breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to continue eating.
