Gu Qingyan didn't like the atmosphere, so she politely clinked glasses with everyone.

She's rather aloof and just wants to quietly be a decorative figurehead.

If you really have to bother her, she thinks she might just smash someone's head open.

Gu Qingyan, holding a glass of wine without attracting anyone's attention, walked to the balcony outside, closed the soundproof glass window, placed the wine on the small round table, and sat down.

There were also plenty of desserts, fruits, and juices on the small round table.

Gu Qingyan reached out and took a strawberry mousse cake, which happened to be the brand she often ate.

She took a bite and put it in her mouth.

“Miss Gu, you ate my cake.” A clear, deep male voice rang out from the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure emerged from the shadows.

The man's voice was very distinctive, both soothing and seductive, so beautiful that Gu Qingyan remembered it.

Shangguan Du emerged from the shadows, one hand in his pocket.

He had short, neat hair, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He wore a black shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing the outline of his chest muscles as he moved.

No wonder he's the number one man on the list of socialites people want to sleep with. He doesn't stand opposite her, but with his eyes slightly lowered, he looks at her inch by inch without avoiding her gaze.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

The drinking party was suddenly changed to a dinner party?!

She knew something was amiss when Xie Shiren suddenly appeared.

Gu Qingyan gave a light, lazy smile and said, "Is Master Du planning to invest in the entertainment industry? Not only is he concerned about entertainment news, but he's also attending entertainment industry gatherings."

She didn't say it explicitly.

The videos of Sheng Xuanyue spreading rumors about her are still circulating on social media platforms across the internet, and so far, none of them have been able to suppress this trending topic.

Apart from the person in front of me, no one in the capital should have such skill.

Shangguan Du didn't expect her to say anything nice, so he pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.

The man languidly crossed his long legs, his back slumped in the chair, and picked up a small cake from the table with his long, even fingers.

"Investing," Shangguan Du said, his tone gentle yet firm, "is just a little trick to get closer to you and make it easier to see you. Like today, I missed you, so I came here." After saying that, he imitated Gu Qingyan and ate a small piece of cake.

"Miss me?" Gu Qingyan slowly swallowed the cake, uttering these two words in a soft, ambiguous tone.

She stared into the other person's eyes.

Two seconds later, her fox-like eyes curved into crescents, and her pupils shimmered with light.

The corners of his mouth curved into a deeper smile, his tone languidly sexy, "Is Master Du trying to make me his mistress?"

The man couldn't help but chuckle softly, then suddenly moved closer and slowly drew nearer to her.

Looking at the little girl's face, his eyes deepened.

His deep, magnetic voice seemed to have a burning heat, "Little girl, if I were really that kind of person, you wouldn't be at a drinking party, you'd be lying in my bed."

He paused, then said seriously, "I don't want to keep you as a mistress, I just want to marry you and take you home as my wife."

It completely shattered the ambiguous ripples between them.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Shangguan Du continued, "Miss Gu, would you be willing to be my wife?"

Their eyes met.

The air was thick with ambiguity.

Gu Qingyan looked at Shangguan Du's face, which was so blatantly offensive.

After a while.

She curled her lips slightly, "But I don't like Master Du's type. I'm not worthy of Master Du's tastes."

Shangguan Du suddenly moved closer to her, their noses touching. "What a coincidence, I'm a multi-talented type. What kind of guy does Gu like? A cute puppy? A fierce wolf? A domineering CEO? A bodyguard? Or a boss?"

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Outrageous!

Shangguan smiled slightly, "It seems that Miss Gu and I are a match made in heaven."

Gu Qingyan stepped back and leaned against the sofa, smiling faintly, her tone full of regret: "What a pity, I don't like you as a person, no matter how you change, it's useless, Master Du still forgot about me!"

Shangguan Du leaned forward, his hands gripping the armrests of her chair, staring into Gu Qingyan's eyes. "Two months ago, you seized the opportunity to make me forget you."

Gu Qingyan: "..."

The memory has been erased, but you're still causing trouble!

Gu Qingyan remained expressionless, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Who does Master Du take me for? I don't understand. It seems Master Du is quite the ladies' man?"

"I was hypnotized two months ago and I want to know if the memory was successfully erased?" Shangguan Du asked her.

Gu Qingyan's hand holding the cake fork trembled slightly.

It really recovered?

Gu Qingyan couldn't figure it out; was the fox's power that day insufficient?

Not completely deleted?!

When she left, all the marks on her body had been repaired.

How was Shangguan Du so sure it was her?

Gu Qingyan remained calm and composed, but looked puzzled: "What memories?" Shangguan Du did not answer, but stared straight into her eyes.

His eyes were full of doting affection—his wife liked to act, so he played along.

In her eyes, the woman tilted her head slightly, as if she had figured something out, and chuckled, "No wonder Young Master Xie said you were with the hypnotist. So, two months ago, Master Du was not only hypnotized but almost had his memory erased. Now you suspect me? It seems Master Du isn't up to the task."

Shangguan Du: "Don't you know whether I'm capable or not?"

Gu Qingyan didn't reply to that question, but smiled casually, "So, after catching your hand that's been hypnotized, does Master Du plan to bury you alive or hang you up and beat you?"

Shangguan Du: "..."

Gu Qingyan leaned back, creating distance between them. "I've seen those stories online where men pursue women, and if they don't agree, they dump the body in the wilderness the next day."

Shangguan Du's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and gently tapped her forehead, his voice low and deep, "You should watch less of this kind of nonsense in the future."

Gu Qingyan paused slightly, then smiled casually: "Master Du has really chosen the wrong person. I can swear on my acting skills."

Shangguan Du didn't reply, but his eyes darkened.

What's with the idea of ​​guaranteeing it with acting skills?

Gu Qingyan stopped looking at him and turned to look at the scenery outside the balcony. "My acting skills are, after all, exceptional."

Shangguan Du's gaze remained fixed on her face, his dark eyes deep and focused. He gave a soft "hmm," and said, "You're ready to win the award."

Gu Qingyan's gaze fell on him, and she raised her eyebrows, "So, Master Du approves of me?"

Shangguan Du: "I agree, but you dare not agree?"

Gu Qingyan chuckled softly, "I have a question for you." She nodded slightly upon reaching Guandu.

Gu Qingyan asked curiously, "What did you do? Why did someone hypnotize you?"

When Shangguan Du thought back to two months ago, he had no memory of it in his mind, but his physical memory was extremely strong. It was so strong that whenever he thought about it at night, his blood would start to surge.

He stared intently at her, his eyes filled with an unyielding desire, and remained silent for several minutes.

"Hmm?" Gu Qingyan drawled, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Master Du, what heinous crime have you committed?"

Shangguan Du's expression remained unchanged, but what he said made one blush and their heart race: "We made love."

Gu Qingyan: "..."

She hadn't expected him to be so blunt.
