Chapter 310 Coax Me

In the main hall of the banquet, after Jiang Zhouzhou and Han Junhe left, groups of people gathered in pairs, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries.

Gu Nanfeng's gaze fell on an inconspicuous corner, looking at the tall man standing in the shadows, his thin lips curving slightly.

With her well-defined knuckles, she picked up a new glass of red wine and walked slowly toward the other person.

"Is Mr. Yin secretly hiding here, feeling heartbroken?"

The intricate and dazzling crystal chandelier was bright and eye-catching, yet it couldn't illuminate the dark corners, leaving the lonely man standing there as if isolated from the hustle and bustle.

When Yin Yue saw Gu Nanfeng approaching, he remained calm and composed, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Mr. Gu is young and promising, but it's a pity that your eyesight isn't very good. I wonder which eye of yours saw me looking so sad."

Despite his blatant sarcasm, Gu Nanfeng wasn't angry: "It must feel terrible to see the person you like standing with another man! But it's all thanks to your underhanded tactics behind my back, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

This sudden marriage was undoubtedly facilitated by the people in front of them.

Gu Nanfeng raised his glass to him: "Mr. Yin is an excellent business partner, but also a despicable rival in love."

Yin Yue retorted with a half-smile, "How can creating a little trouble for your love rival be considered despicable!"

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious and pleasant; anyone who didn't know better would think they had a very good relationship.

"Gu Nanfeng, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to bring her here."

Behind the transparent lenses, his deep eyes held an unfathomable glint.

He had originally planned to bring Zhouzhou to the engagement banquet tonight, since given Zhouzhou's personality, she would definitely avoid Gu Nanfeng after witnessing his engagement.

But he didn't expect...

Gu Nanfeng brought her over directly.

Although Gu Nanfeng has taken over the Gu family's business, the one who truly runs the Gu family is his grandfather.

Yin Yue thought that he wouldn't reveal Zhou Zhou to the public before he had fully grown his power...

Gu Nanfeng said softly, "Liking her... isn't something shameful."

Yin Yue's eyes darkened, and he raised his glass: "A toast to a formidable rival in love."

Gu Nanfeng raised his glass: "A toast to my despicable rival in love."

Yin Yue smiled noncommittally.

So be it, it's despicable!

He didn't even do anything more despicable!

He slammed the wine glass down and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhouzhou and Han Junhe left the art studio, and on their way back, they had to pass through that long corridor again.

The garden is lush and green, and even in late autumn, the carefully cultivated precious flower varieties still bloom in profusion.

As we approached the main banquet hall, we could already hear music playing and some noisy conversations.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhouzhou stopped in her tracks.

She said to Han Junhe, "Sister Xiaohe, you go back first! I'm going to say hello to a friend."

Han Junhe's gaze fell on the tall figure standing beside the flower stand, and she wisely refrained from asking any further questions. "Well, I'll be going now."

After she left, Jiang Zhouzhou changed direction and walked towards that figure.

"Brother Yin Yue, why are you standing here all alone?"

Upon seeing him, Jiang Zhouzhou's fingers clenched unconsciously.

The fog of the night enveloped him, and his dark suit jacket seemed to be soaked through, exuding a thin chill.

Yin Yue's tightly pursed lips moved slightly, and his low, husky voice rang in Jiang Zhouzhou's ear: "Because you're not here, I'm all alone."

Jiang Zhouzhou already felt guilty when she saw him, and upon hearing his words, she was filled with even more remorse.

It's bound to happen...

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain.

But the next second, she was pulled into a cold embrace.

His arms were wrapped tightly around her, and her heart was pounding. She could only let him hold her.

"Zhouzhou, I'm so jealous of Gu Nanfeng tonight."

“I’m jealous that he’s holding your hand, standing proudly in front of everyone.”

"And I can only stand in the corner and watch."

"I desperately wanted to rush up and push him away, but I had to suppress this resentment for your sake."

"I'm...going insanely jealous!"

Gu Nanfeng deliberately brought her to appear in front of everyone, making her the focus of attention.

Some people were already discussing this, and if he rushed over and staged a scene of two men fighting over one woman, it would only make Zhouzhou the center of public opinion.

Gu Nanfeng had anticipated this, which is why he brought Zhouzhou along, leaving Gu Nanfeng to watch helplessly.

Jiang Zhouzhou watched as the usually refined and composed man lost his composure for the first time in front of her. She lowered her head and buried it in his chest, her voice muffled, "I'm sorry, Brother Yin Yue, I hurt you."

Yin Yue looked down at her buried head, his chest heaving slightly, and a helpless sigh escaped his throat.

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just a little jealous."

His hand landed on her head, gently stroking her hair.

"It's my own fault. I knew you liked him too, and even though I told you I didn't mind, I couldn't control my heart."

"It's my fault, I broke my promise to you."

Seeing that he was apologizing to her instead, Jiang Zhouzhou felt even more guilty.

She didn't dare to look up at him, so she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face even deeper.

On that scale symbolizing fairness, whenever she tilted towards Yin Yue's side, Nanfeng would secretly add weight to his own.

Xiaohe seems to be right; she has the potential to be a bad woman, making the man who treats her so well heartbroken.

Jiang Zhouzhou raised her head: "You're good, it's my fault."

Her expression darkened, and her voice was very soft: "Brother Yin Yue, I don't want to hurt you. Compared to you, my feelings are not as pure. I am not worthy of your affection."

She worried that if things continued, she would hurt him even more.

Yin Yue's gaze darkened, but the smile on his lips remained gentle. "Don't say these things. What you're saying is what truly hurts me. I know better than anyone whether it's worth it or not."

She deliberately paused in her voice: "Zhouzhou, please comfort me!"

"What hurts me is not that you are standing next to Gu Nanfeng, but that it is not me standing next to you."

"You promised me you'd be fair, so try to appease me. I'm very easy to appease."

Jiang Zhouzhou looked up into his eyes. Behind the clear lenses, his dark eyes were churning with too many emotions. His former calm and self-control had become incredibly fragile.

Her lips parted, and what she said was indistinct, but the man in front of her wore a satisfied smile.

Lin Chen stood not far away, quietly watching all of this...

His eyes were bloodshot.

Beside him stood Zhou Xian, who remained silent.
