"Colonel Gu wants to take a look?" Shen Pingshan asked narrowly, "It can't be done in vain."

Gu Huaiyu turned his face slightly, "So Miss Shen treasures that horse very much."

"Mr. Fu's gift is of course a good horse worthy of treasure."

Gu Huaiyu smiled, handed the gun in his hand to the person waiting beside him, let her take his arm as if no one else was there, and walked slowly towards the stables and the arena.

Fu Lize couldn't tell if there was any other meaning in Gu Huaiyu's words, his eyes stayed on the hand that was wrapped around his arm for two seconds, and he said in a deep voice, "I still have something to do, so I won't go."

"Okay, Mr. Fu is free." Shen Pingshan said with a smile, "By the way, my brother wants to treat Colonel Gu to dinner next week. Mr. Fu and Young Master Fang might as well come together."

After she finished speaking, she leaned on Gu Huaiyu affectionately again, with a posture of cutting first and then playing, "For the sake of that Friss, Colonel Gu will give him a favor next week."

Gu Huaiyu did not refuse this time, and said smoothly, "Okay."

He agreed so easily that everyone present was taken aback for a moment.Fu Lize, who had suffered from soft nails for many days, his eyes changed slightly, he snorted coldly as perfunctory Shen Pingshan's invitation, turned around and walked out of the shooting range.

After walking around the stable again, Fang Ting followed behind to understand why Shen Pingshan made such a big detour. He shrugged and said to Gu Huaiyu, "I heard that after you recovered from your injury, Shen Pingchuan invited you twice, but you didn't Go, why did you go as soon as Shen Pingshan said?"

"I was planning to go this time, and I will agree to anyone who invites me." Gu Huaiyu replied.

Fang Ting looked him up and down suspiciously, and walked to the restaurant with him.He knew that Gu Huaiyu's injury was not a so-called accidental fall into the sea, but since his friend kept silent, he didn't want to ask more questions, but...

"Looking at the situation just now, you and that person surnamed Fu haven't—"

Fang Ting couldn't find an accurate description, so he could only make exaggerated gestures, showing a very worried look.

Gu Huaiyu chose a seat by the window in the restaurant, and ordered a few random dishes, "What should I do with him?"

He was sitting facing the section from the entrance of the restaurant to the private room. He had just said a few words when he caught a glimpse of a few people who had just met upstairs walking in, admiring each other.The door of a box opened, and several men and women were already seated inside, with sweet smiles on their faces.

"Hey, I'm just asking, you can do whatever you want." Fang Ting couldn't see the other side, and continued to mutter, "It's best if you can think about it, that bastard treated you before—forget it, Stop talking."

Gu Huaiyu tilted his head slightly, twisting the corner of the napkin with his thumb and forefinger, as if he was listening to Fang Ting very seriously.The smile in his eyes slowly faded away, Friedrich wasn't in that group, but sooner or later he would go in, like every time he used to socialize, he never refused.

He put down the wine list that blocked half of his face, and seemed to lose his appetite suddenly, and said lightly, "Order."

A few days later, Gu Huaiyu showed up at the hotel agreed by Shen Pingchuan on time.

There were not many people who came, obviously they were all here for company, and they only circled around the host and guest.Fang Ting didn't like this kind of occasion, so he found an excuse early on that he couldn't come because of something.Gu Huaiyu thought that Friedrich wouldn't come either, but unexpectedly, he came in with an assistant when it was about to start.

Shen Pingchuan's ability to adjust the atmosphere has always been good, and he had a pleasant meal.Gu Huaiyu was discussing the recent project arrangement with a table of people, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the eye contact with Friedrich.

The dinner was over, and it was only after eight o'clock.Shen Pingchuan didn't mean to end the game, saying that there were some recreational activities planned upstairs.The people on the table smiled tacitly, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Gu Huaiyu didn't refuse this time, Fu Lize walked over with a frown while everyone was leaving, "I'll take you back."

Gu Huaiyu's injury was almost healed, he was forced to drink a few glasses of wine today, his face was a little red.But this little wine is really not drunk, he glanced at Friedrich soberly, "No need."

Seeing that he was not obedient, the man's tone could not help but become a little bad, "When did you start to be interested in these things?"

"These things?" Gu Huaiyu tilted his head, a drop of red wine stain on his chin made his whole face abnormally white, diluting his aggressiveness a bit.

"Mr. Fu usually has a lot of entertainment, right? He's not interested in these?" His breath was full of alcohol, and there was imperceptible frivolity and sarcasm hidden in his rhetorical question.

After being choked by him, Friedrich's movements froze slightly.Shen Pingchuan leaned over at the slightest chance, and greeted them to go upstairs together, and entered a VIP room that had been prepared long ago.

This VIP room is not small, except for two gaming tables scattered on both sides, there are several doors leading to the lounge further inside.

The manager in charge of hospitality should have been specially instructed by Shen Pingchuan, not many people were arranged in this room, except for the two guests who had dinner together, there were also a few well-behaved boys standing behind the sofa in a well-behaved manner.

The manager laid out the bargaining chips, respectfully invited them to sit down, and called for people to open two bottles of wine.

Gu Huaiyu chose a sofa to sit on, and politely said to the two sitting next to him, "I don't know how to play much, let's just go to blackjack."

Of course, the two had no objection. Friedrich's expression showed no emotion, and he sat down after standing for a few seconds.

After drinking, his body temperature was a little high, so Gu Huaiyu unbuttoned his shirt collar.He didn't care about exposing his scars, and he didn't bother to cover up the wound on his right neck after the scab had healed. The loose shirt collar could only cover half of it, as if half of a hideous rope was wrapped around his neck.

Friedrich turned his head and stared at him for a moment, the fire in his heart dissipated before it gathered up.

He thought he was helpless against such Gu Huaiyu, and he couldn't lose any temper.

The croupier dealt the cards one by one, and a boy sat beside Gu Huaiyu holding a poured wine, leaning against him in a measured manner.Gu Huaiyu didn't push the boy away, instead he chatted with him about the cards he got.

After several rounds, Friedrich's mind was not on the cards, so he lost miserably.He didn't touch the people around him, which made them a little panicked, fearing that something might go wrong, and the more he was afraid that there would be chaos in his busy schedule, and he accidentally knocked over the whole glass of whiskey that had just been poured.

The wine didn't spill all over him, but his shirt got a good chunk wet.Several people playing cards stopped to look at him. Friedrich got up expressionlessly, said he needed to change clothes and left.

When he changed his shirt again and returned to the VIP room, he found that Gu Huaiyu had disappeared.The remaining two people were feeling bored. Seeing him coming, they asked if they wanted to gamble again, "I'm afraid Colonel Gu will not come back tonight, otherwise we will..."

Friedrich felt some roaring in his ears, "What did he do?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, pointing to the downstairs teasingly, "What else can I do?"

After all, seeing that Fu Lize's expression was not right, they all picked up their coats, "It's too late, let's go first, Young Master Fu."

The people in the VIP room cleared up quickly, and Friedrich stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw the buildings extending from the two wings of the hotel.The night was dark, and apart from the decorative lights, few rooms were still lit.

A beam or two of headlights flashed downstairs, lighting up the terrace on the third floor of the hotel for a moment.He suddenly remembered the night before when he was on the terrace with Gu Huaiyu, the person in his arms asked him, "Do you care who I sleep with?"

Friedrich thought he really didn't care at the time, and he never cared.

But now when he thinks of giving up Gu Huaiyu's gentle, obedient and quiet gaze to another person, or dividing it into many shares, he feels that the scar on Gu Huaiyu's neck is about to become a scar. The strong rope made him unable to breathe.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, then threw it on the ground, crushed it, and turned his head to go out.

Just as he was about to pull the door open, the door opened from the outside.

Seeing him, Gu Huaiyu seemed a little surprised, looked at the empty VIP room behind him, and said, "I'll get my coat."

He smelled very light and faint of perfume, and his clothes were not the ones he just wore.Friedrich stood still on the spot, and put down the hand that was raised in the air.

Gu Huaiyu picked up the coat that he forgot on the sofa, and was just about to turn around when he heard a soft click of a lock at the door.

He turned his head away, and Friedrich, who had already walked quickly in front of him, pushed him against the edge of the sofa. There seemed to be bloodshot eyes in his eyes. He slowed down his speech and said coldly, "Where did you go just now?"
