Her demeanor was naturally cold, and though her words seemed no different from her usual tone, Gu Shiyan keenly sensed a change.

It had taken him two years to get Lu Miao to let her guard down around him, to add a touch of warmth to her attitude.

But now, Lu Miao seemed to revert to her initial demeanor, the icy detachment of their first meeting.

Gu Shiyan, understanding his own nature, quickly realized why.

So, was she bothered by Ning Wanwan?

Did that mean…

Beside them, Ning Wanwan’s eyes flickered as she smiled and approached, linking her arm with Gu Shiyan’s. She cozied up to his side and spoke to Lu Miao.

“You must be Lu Miao, right? Shiyan mentioned you before. Thank you for being willing to help him back then. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to stand by his side today.”

Gu Shiyan’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He stood still, looking at Lu Miao with an increasingly profound gaze.

“INO neea co manK me. me prouaea me runas, ana 1 nanalea tne matter. INO one owes anyone anything.” Lu Miao swirled the drink in her glass, her eyes remaining lowered as she responded.

Ning Wanwan smiled. “That won’t do. I still have to thank you. After all, I’ll have to rely on you for Shiyan’s health in the future.”

Lu Miao looked up, her tone businesslike. “I have a clear fee structure. If you’re interested, I can send it to you directly. Feel free to contact me anytime.”

“Really? That’s great. I was worried you’d be too busy with important matters, and once I go abroad after getting married, I won’t be able to find you anymore.”

Ning Wanwan happily took out her phone and opened WeChat to add Lu Miao.

Lu Miao didn’t refuse and simply took out her own phone to add Ning Wanwan.

“Miao Miao, the wedding is at the end of this month. I’ll have Shiyan send you an invitation. You must come and join us.” Ning Wanwan smiled, radiating happiness and bashfulness.

Lin Bufan endured it for a long time and finally couldn’t take it anymore. It was enough to show off their affection in front of his boss, but he also wanted her to attend the wedding. Wasn’t this bullying his boss?

Gu Shiyan, this scumbag, actually allowed this woman to show off and bully his boss.

She gritted her teeth and said angrily,”Gu Shiyan, did my boss give you face?””

Lu Miao let out a sigh of frustration. “Lin Bufan.”

Lin Bufan shot Gu Shiyan a fierce glare, then turned to look at Lu Miao. Seeing her furrow her brows, he quickly asked with concern, “Boss, are you feeling unwell?”

Lu Miao stood up, picked up the glass on the table, and raised it towards Gu Shiyan. “Congratulations. However, I still have classes to attend. I won’t be able to come back for your wedding. Wishing you a hundred years of happiness and a prosperous offspring.”

After saying that, she lifted her head and downed the drink.

Listening to her increasingly indifferent tone, a hint of amusement flashed in Gu Shiyan’s eyes.

“You’ve had too much to drink. I’ll take you back.”

“Thanks, but I don’t want to go back yet.” With that, she turned to look at Lin Bufan. “Go.” “Alright.” Lin Bufan nodded.

The group walked outside together with Lu Miao.

Ning Wanwan sneakily stuck out her tongue at Gu Shiyan and then gave him an encouraging thumbs-up gesture.

Gu Shiyan turned and headed outside. As Lin Bufan opened the car door and Lu Miao raised her leg to get in, he reached out to stop her.

Lin Bufan immediately grew furious. “Let go of my boss, you scumbag! Go and accompany your fiancée properly. If you keep bothering my boss, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

“Let go,” Lu Miao said calmly, her tone as serene as water.

“Ning Wanwan is not my fiancée,” Gu Shiyan explained.

“Who she’s engaged to has nothing to do with me,” Lu Miao exerted force on her wrist, freeing her hand from his grip.

Before she could get into the car, Gu Shiyan took a step forward, reaching out to scoop her up horizontally.

Lu Miao’s body suddenly hung in the air, and she instinctively placed her arms around his neck.

Realizing what she had done, she quickly withdrew her hands. She frowned and was about to jump down, but Gu Shiyan’s hands held her tightly.

Lowering his head, he whispered in her ear, “If you move again, I won’t be able to control myself.”

What he meant by “control himself” was clear enough for adults and didn’t need further explanation.

Lu Miao, after all, was a girl and didn’t have Gu Shiyan’s level of shamelessness. Hearing his words, her cheeks flushed, and her body involuntarily tensed.

Lin Bufan grew anxious and caught up. “Gu Shiyan, let go of my boss.”

His group of friends were also loyal to one another. Seeing the situation, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed over with an intention to fight.

Before they could reach them, a few tall and burly figures in black appeared, blocking their path.

Upon a closer look, it was evident that they were Gu Shiyan’s personal bodyguards, always shadowing him in the background and ready to step forward whenever needed.

Lin Bufan’s group of novices were no match for these professional bodyguards. They could only angrily curse Gu Shiyan’s departing figure.

“Gu Shiyan, how dare you bully my boss? I’ll kill you.”

Gu Shiyan carried Lu Miao to his car, and Bai Li immediately got out of the car to open the door. After they both got in, Bai Li tactfully lowered the partition between the front and back seats, granting them a private space.

Lu Miao stared expressionlessly out of the car window. The journey back to the Lingyue Manor was silent, without any conversation.

It had been a while since she had last been here. With Gu Jinxi and the others having moved back to the Gu family home, no one lived here anymore. Yet, the place remained immaculate, indicating that Gu Shiyan had arranged for housekeeping to clean regularly.

In the past, Lu Miao probably wouldn’t have minded such trivial matters. However, today, they unexpectedly irritated her, causing her to feel somewhat restless.

Turning her head to face Gu Shiyan, who followed her into the mansion, she spoke in a cold tone, “From now on, there’s no need to bother Gu Er Ye with these minor affairs like housekeeping. It’s already late, and I won’t keep you any longer.”

Having said that, she turned to head upstairs.

But Gu Shiyan chuckled softly, catching hold of her shoulder and forcefully turning her around. “Are you angry?”

Lu Miao’s face remained cold. “You’re overthinking things. Why would I be angry?”

“Because Ning Wanwan was constantly affectionate, holding onto my arm and even claiming to be my fiancée, saying we’re going to have a wedding soon,” Gu Shiyan looked down at her and said directly.

He had endured it for two years. Now that she was of age, he had no intention of holding back any longer.

Especially after he had just confirmed that she indeed had feelings for him.

The discomfort that Lu Miao had always kept hidden deep within, unwilling to admit even to herself, had been punctured by Gu Shiyan. It suddenly sprouted forth like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Whether in her past life or in this one, she had never experienced love, nor had she been interested in any man.

She had assumed that her feelings for Gu Shiyan were the same. However, having her emotions exposed by Gu Shiyan had revealed to her that she cared about him more than she had thought.

Seeing him extend the same tenderness and consideration he had for her to someone else made her realize that she wasn’t particularly special in his eyes.

Perhaps even earlier, starting from when she had playfully taken Gu Shiyan to the ghost market to make him happy, she had been attached to him. She just hadn’t been aware of it until now..
