Chapter 196: Understanding Each Other's Feelings for Rong Ci

He Zhangbai still ignored her.

Just then, someone happened to come over to greet him.

The other party also knew Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

The four of them began to chat.

Sun Liyao was left standing to the side, ignored by everyone. Her expression grew increasingly awkward, and she had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

Over there, Qi Yuming looked toward He Zhangbai and said: "Zhangbai's relationship with them is getting better and better."

"They," of course, referred to Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

Lin Wu felt the same way.

After all, if He Zhangbai and Yu Moxun were merely in a professional partnership, a simple greeting and a few pleasantries would suffice at an occasion like this.

But now, He Zhangbai had been chatting with Yu Moxun and Rong Ci for quite a while.

It looked like He Zhangbai, Yu Moxun, and Rong Ci were showing signs of becoming friends.

Of course, in her view, He Zhangbai becoming friends with Yu Moxun was because Yu Moxun was indeed worth befriending.

As for Rong Ci, she was just an afterthought.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tingshen also glanced at Rong Ci and the others, showing no reaction.

Lin Wu also withdrew her gaze, and then she saw Gu Yan, who had just appeared in the banquet hall.

Feng Tingshen followed her gaze and also saw Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was dressed very formally, looking even two degrees colder, prouder, and more handsome than usual.

When Lin Wu looked over, he also saw Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen.

Seeing him look over, Lin Wu smiled and was about to walk toward Gu Yan, but Gu Yan turned his face away and entered the banquet hall from the side with his friends.

Watching this, Lin Wu stopped, smiled helplessly, and said to Feng Tingshen: "He's probably still angry at me for telling his family about his whereabouts. He wouldn't answer my calls before, and now that we've met, he's ignoring me."

Feng Tingshen: "Gu Shao is still young; it's normal for him to have a bit of a temper."

Lin Wu felt the same way.

Gu Yan didn't know what Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen were thinking.

After entering the hall for a while, just as he was about to go greet the host, he turned his head and saw Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

His hand gripping the wine glass paused.

He didn't know that Rong Ci and Yu Moxun would actually attend tonight's banquet.

Rong Ci was wearing a pale blue, carved-waist long dress tonight, which perfectly highlighted her quiet and cold temperament, making her look clean, flawless, and beautiful.

This was the first time he had seen Rong Ci in a gown.

Gu Yan watched, and after a long while, he couldn't take his eyes off Rong Ci.

His friends beside him noticed he was somewhat distracted, followed his gaze, and were incredibly stunned when they saw Rong Ci: "Holy crap, so beautiful. Who is that?"

Gu Yan regained his composure and said: "Rong Ci."

"Rong Ci?! She's Rong Ci? She's this beautiful?"

Gu Yan didn't speak. He put down his wine glass and walked toward Rong Ci and Yu Moxun: "Director Yu, Miss Rong."

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun turned back and were somewhat surprised to see Gu Yan.

They hadn't expected him to attend this banquet either.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun nodded.

He Zhangbai turned his head, saw Gu Yan, and asked: "Who is this?"

Yu Moxun said: "This is Gu Shao."

As he spoke, he briefly explained Gu Yan's background and then introduced him to Gu Yan: "This is Director He."

He Zhangbai remembered that there was indeed a Gu family in Ducheng. After hearing Yu Moxun finish, he greeted Gu Yan: "Gu Shao."

After Gu Yan greeted He Zhangbai, the few of them began to chat.

During the conversation, Gu Yan's gaze would land on Rong Ci from time to time.

And the way he looked at Rong Ci—

Noticing this, He Zhangbai's hand gripping his wine glass paused. He pursed his lips and looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan noticed his gaze and looked back at him.

When their eyes met, they suddenly both understood each other's feelings for Rong Ci.

Looking at each other, they suddenly fell silent.
