Gu Manxi frowned slightly.
She knew that Grandpa Song was a kind and generous old man.
However, he was seriously ill and had been recuperating in the quiet manor. He handed over the family business to his grandson, Song Chen, and rarely showed himself.
“Manxi, I won’t force you to make any decision. As long as you agree, I will immediately marry you and get the marriage certificate because I love you and won’t do anything to hurt you.” Song Chen held her hand.
Gu Manxi didn’t say anything for a long time.
She pulled her hand out and said, “You can bring Chuchu to the birthday banquet. You have to protect her well.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Gu Manxi refuse to hold his hand, Song Chen couldn’t help but feel disappointed. His usually aggressive eyes gradually dimmed, and he looked a little pitiful. “Okay.”
The candlelit dinner wasn’t that romantic. The two of them still had a long way to go.

In the capital.
Grandfather Song’s eightieth birthday preparations had started, and celebrities were gathering. Recently, many celebrities and dignitaries had received invitations to the Song Group’s birthday banquet.
Zhao Yan had also received a golden invitation.
Zhao Yan had originally not planned to go, but when he realized that Song Chen had actually planned to bring Chuchu there, and Gu Manxi had even tacitly agreed, Zhao Yan could not sit still. He wanted to go to the birthday banquet, keep an eye on Song Chen at all times, and also protect Gu Chu.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaozhou was also invited.
Lin Xiaozhou had always liked lively occasions. He picked a weekend to go shopping with Zhao Yan and bought two suits that suited him.
“It’s really strange. I thought the upper-class people of the capital looked down on a little streamer like me.” In the mall, Lin Xiaozhou raised his chin, and Zhao Yan patiently buttoned up his shirt.
The two saleswomen at the side whispered to each other. Their eyes were filled with love, and they had been sneakily looking at the two of them.
Lin Xiaozhou was quite puzzled.
The most powerful people in the capital circle were those who had “power”, followed by those who had “money”. Song Chen was a powerful figure, and the Song Family was a first-class family. Naturally, the people invited to the birthday banquet were upper-class people.
In the end, the little streamer, Lin Xiaozhou, was also invited, and was one of the important guests. It was like inviting a servant girl to the royal ball. No matter how one thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhao Yan didn’t say anything. His calloused fingers patiently buttoned Lin Xiaozhou’s shirt.
Of course, Zhao Yan knew the reason why Song Chen invited Lin Xiaozhou. This guy was trying to get on his good side by treating him and Lin Xiaozhou as family members.
“Zhao, speaking of which, Song Chen seems to be too nice to Chuchu and Sister Manxi. He can’t really be thinking of wooing Sister Manxi, right?” Lin Xiaozhou rarely wore expensive suits and Zhao Yan personally picked out a fancy suit for him. Lin Xiaozhou didn’t know how to put it on, so Zhao Yan told him to stand still and started to put it on for him personally.
He buttoned up his shirt bit by bit, then he put on a light black suit jacket.
Then he fastened the belt.
Then he put on the bow tie.
He was patient and careful.
Zhao Yan helped Lin Xiaozhou put on the outer jacket and put the young man in front of the big dressing mirror. He said, “As long as Song Chen doesn’t break off the engagement with that fiancée of his, I won’t agree to his pursuit of Manxi.”
Lin Xiaozhou clicked his tongue. “Of course. Sister Manxi is beautiful and kind-hearted. To find a husband, you have to find someone reliable. Damn, I look so energetic in this outfit. I look a little bit more handsome than usual.”
The two tall figures were reflected in the large mirror.
