Chapter 37: The Banquet

Su Yuebai thought for a while, and then replied to him: "I'm actually having dinner with the partners of the magazine club, and I can't take a break for the time being. When is the banquet? ”

Thirty minutes later. It's just in time for you to come back now. Gu Tingchen on the other end of the mobile phone said this, as if he was afraid that she would refuse, and added, "This partner has been friends with our Gu family for many years, and we have recently discussed cooperation with him." It makes sense that you should all attend this banquet. ”

Su Yuebai pursed her lips and clenched her phone: "Okay, then I'll go back now." ”

After talking to Gu Tingchen on the phone, Su Yuebai returned to her seat. She walked up to Wen Keji, then lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Wen, you come out with me, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Wen Keji quickly followed Su Yuebai to the terrace.

"I have something to do temporarily, I want to leave first, you continue to eat with Lu Jiaxing, is this okay?" Su Yuebai looked at him and asked for his opinion.

It was she who asked someone out of the way, and now she left halfway, which is a bit unruly.

Wen Keji frowned slightly, and his face was compelling and handsome against the backdrop of the sunset: "Is there something special?" Lu Jiaxing's temper is a little weird, if you leave the table halfway like this, he won't cooperate with your magazine anymore. ”

Su Yuebai showed an embarrassed expression and muttered, "What should I do then?" Tingchen asked me to go back to a banquet with him, saying that there was a very important partner to meet at the banquet. ”

When Wen Keji heard the word "Tingchen", he raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he said: "You can postpone the meeting with the partner, just say that you are working overtime or something." It took me a long time to convince Lu Jiaxing to let him come to see you, and it would be a pity if this opportunity was missed. ”

Seeing that Su Yuebai was still hesitating, Wen Keji added: "How many entertainment media wanted to do his interviews, he turned them down." It was because of his affection with me that he agreed to do an exclusive interview with your magazine. ”

Su Yuebai nodded: "Okay." Then I'll call Tingchen and explain the situation. ”

Wen Keji bowed slightly, and turned to leave the terrace.

Su Yuebai immediately dialed Gu Tingchen's phone and explained the situation to him.

His slightly dissatisfied voice came from the receiver of his mobile phone: "What partner is so important?" ”

Su Yuebai bit her lip, and then replied to him: "The magazine is going to open a new column recently, and this partner is very important. You just tell him that I'm working overtime, I don't have time today, so why don't you see you another day? Okay, I'm not going to tell you, let's do it for now. ”

With that, she hung up the phone and turned and walked out of the terrace.

As soon as she returned to her seat and sat down, Lu Jiaxing asked her, "What was Miss Su discussing with Keji just now?" ”

Su Yuebai raised her eyes and looked at Wen Ke's traces. Wen Keji turned his head to look at Lu Jiaxing and said with a smile: "Miss Su just asked me some personal questions, which is inconvenient for everyone to hear. ”

Su Yuebai didn't expect him to use such a reason, and originally thought that he could make up a better reason. Wen Keji raised his head at this time and smiled at her, his smile was extremely charming.

Su Yuebai also smiled at him in return.

However, the next moment, her smile froze - there was a car driving on the road outside the window, the window was ajar, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was Gu Tingchen.

At this moment, Gu Tingchen was looking at them, frowning slightly.

Wen Keji followed Su Yuebai's gaze and looked out the window, only to see a silver-gray sports car driving past the road.

"Yuebai, what are you looking at?" Wen Keji asked her with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just like seeing an acquaintance. It turned out that it shouldn't be. Su Yuebai tried her best to make her tone sound steady.

Lu Jiaxing just glanced at her lightly and didn't say anything.

"Why don't we go somewhere else? It's so stuffy here. I'm full, what about you? Wen Qingchu didn't see that something was wrong with Su Yuebai, so he just asked them.

"Good. Where to go? To Su Yuebai's surprise, Lu Jiaxing actually accosted him.

At Wen Qingchu's suggestion, several people agreed to go to a newly opened dance hall nearby.

Su Yuebai guessed that she would inevitably accept Gu Tingchen's questioning when she returned home, so she simply didn't think about it so much, and followed a few of them to the dance hall to have a good time.

By the time she returned to Gu Tingchen's private villa, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Gu Tingchen, who was wearing a bathrobe, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the warm yellow light fell on him. Looking at Su Yuebai from this angle, you can see his cold and arrogant side face.

At the moment, he was looking at the TV screen. But Su Yuebai could see from his expression that his mind was not on the content of the TV show.

"Tingchen, I'm back." After Su Yuebai finished changing her shoes, she walked over to him.

Anyway, what should come will come, and she has to muster up the courage to face it.

Gu Tingchen turned his head and looked at her with a bit of reproach: "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"Went to the ballroom with them." Su Yuebai said as she went to the sofa not far from him and sat down.

"With Wen Keji, with them?" Gu Tingchen stared at her face.

Su Yuebai knew that Gu Tingchen had seen them in the restaurant just now, so he simply didn't hide it: "Yes, he introduced me to a male star." In preparation for a new column in the magazine. ”

"That's why you pushed the banquet because of this?" Gu Tingchen's voice was cold, and he looked at her for a moment.

Su Yuebai looked at his face for a moment, then pouted and replied, "I guessed that you would question me." This male star has better conditions, and if we can get him to do an interview with the new column of our magazine, it will be of great benefit to our magazine. ”

Gu Tingchen's expression did not ease, with a little coldness.

She continued: "I originally asked Wen Keji if he could leave halfway, and he said no. When I leave, people won't cooperate with me, I can't give up halfway, right? ”

Speaking of this, she spread her hands and looked at Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen looked at her silently for more than ten seconds, and then looked away: "Have you ever thought that if you refuse the Gu family's partner's request to meet, he will be upset and not cooperate with our Gu family?" ”

After a pause, he didn't wait for Su Yuebai to speak, and then said, "Or, in your heart, the work of your magazine will always come first?" Actually, I want to know, do you really think of me as your fiancΓ©? ”

Su Yuebai was stunned, she didn't expect Gu Tingchen to suddenly say such a thing. She lowered her eyes and pondered her words before she said, "You didn't tell me about this just now." I don't treat you as a fiancΓ©, so why should I move in with you? ”

She didn't want to have a cold war with Gu Tingchen like before, so when she spoke, she softened her tone.

Sure enough, after Gu Tingchen listened to her words, his expression was a little softener than just now, at least it no longer looked like a piece of thousand-year-old ice: "How did I tell you before, so that you don't have to deal with Wen Keji anymore, do you remember?" ”

Su Yuebai sighed softly in her heart. In fact, Gu Tingchen's comparison really made her a little upset. She has no feelings for Wen Keji other than friends, and she has only met him a few times, why does Gu Tingchen hold on to this?

However, she didn't want to have a cold war with Gu Tingchen like last time.

After thinking for a while, she looked at Gu Tingchen and said, "Wen Keji is Wen Qingchu's brother. Wen Qingchu is the deputy editor-in-chief of our magazine. I want to contact the stars in the entertainment industry, and through him is the fastest way. We don't have anything else to do with our work. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yuebai walked up to Gu Tingchen, took his hand, and looked into his eyes: "You can't stop me from having contact with anyone of the opposite sex, right?" ”

Gu Tingchen didn't break free of her hand, just let her hold it. After a moment, he said, "There is no other tie, you are laughing so happily?" ”

Su Yuebai had to patiently explain the actual situation just now.

God knows, it's already two o'clock in the morning, and she really wants to go to bed, and she has to go to work tomorrow morning.

"Actually, I don't want you to interfere too much in my work, like Mr. Zeng Luming's matter last time......" Before Su Yue finished speaking, she was kissed on the lips by Gu Tingchen.

In a trance, she was pressed to the sofa by Gu Tingchen. She finally got rid of his lips: "Are we going to do that or something here?" What should I do if I am seen by Dabai Xiaobai? ”

Gu Tingchen stopped all his movements, and stared at her swollen lips that had just been kissed by herself: "They have already slept." And I closed the door from the outside. ”

Closed? Was this premeditated?

Before Su Yuebai could speak, Gu Tingchen leaned over and kissed him again.

As a result, the next morning, Su Yuebai wanted to cry again without tears, dragging her sore body to work.

In the days that followed, Su Yuebai focused her work on the new column. The new column is doing very well, and the magazine is selling more than ever.

In addition, male stars get along better than female stars, there are more female employees in the magazine, and you can see handsome male stars at work, and your work efficiency is much higher than before.

In short, this new column is a hundred miles and harmless.

During this period, Su Yuebai was occasionally invited out by Wen Keji to eat and have fun with male stars who did columns. From time to time, these male stars will invite her to drink coffee and eat or something, and discuss the affairs of the column.

When she got off work that afternoon, Su Yuebai received a call from Gu Tingchen and asked her to go to his parents' house for dinner.

Inside the dining room of the Gu house. At this moment, everyone is gathered around the dining table, and the servants of the Gu family are constantly serving dishes.

"Yuebai, we haven't seen each other in a while, right? Surely he's been busy at work lately, hasn't he? Gu Tingchen's mother looked at Su Yuebai and said.

Su Yuebai looked back at her with a smile: "Yes, aunt." ”

"Yuebai, when will you marry Tingchen? Recently, the media has been chasing the wind and rumors, rumors about your scandals with various male stars. Gu Tingchen's mother changed her words and said with a sinking face.
