The fact that Gu Yan was able to recognize her excitedness from her voice surprised her. But somehow, she knew what it was normal for him to understand what she feels

'Maybe, my voice was too excited and he might have guessed.' This thought crossed her remind but somehow, she ignored it and replied to him in a sweet voice.

"Oh, it's nothing. Do you remember that crime branch officer? Chen Juan? Well, he got a promotion recently. And his friends are throwing a party for his promotion, so I'm going to attend that."

There was absolute silence on the other side. She can feel that he was breathing heavily. But then, Su Xi had almost forgotten that he had accused her and Chen Juan of being involved in an affair.

She actually blurted out everything in front of him, and she was now more afraid that he would get angry. 'But I already explained everything to him. He won't be angry anymore, right?' Su Xi bit her lower lip in nervousness.

"Gu Yan, you okay? Why are you not speaking anything?" Su Xi concernedly asked.

But instead, she received no reply for how which was making her worry more. She had no idea what was going inside his mind at that time and was just keen on not upsetting him anymore.

Somehow, their relationship is coming to track, she wishes that he doesn't want to create any more misunderstandings between them.

But after a long silence, Gu Yan finally answered, "Su Xi, as a man myself, I know how man is. See, I'm not stopping you anymore from going to his party but be safe. I trust you enough and you aren't a small child. You can take care of yourself and all might be adults there. Just don't be close to anyone much." 

A crept smile came on her face as knew that he was holding himself back. The jealousy factor in the men of her family is quite high as she was aware that her son used to get jealous whenever they used to fight for attention.

And how can she forget how Ye Huo used to react when Zu Jiwen used to visit their family? He was almost following her like a shadow, not leveling her even for a second. This was his possessiveness.

"Gu Yan, I'm happy that you are taking a step forward to trust me on many issues."

"Relationship is based on trust. Also, I know that the trust which Ye Huo had in you might not be compared to my trust right now, but I'm trying. Don' worry and have fun. I shall talk to you later on." saying this, he hung up and Su Xi blushed.

'At least he is improving for me.' This thought made her heart feel a little warm. The fact that he was singing for her was already enjoyable as Su Xi decided to change her clothes.

After five minutes, she was already ready to go and attend the party. Checking herself once again in the mirror, Su Xi sighed. 'Why am I getting too fat? Do I need to work out?' she had heard that ladies after thirty, start having weak bones.

But pushing these thoughts back into her mind, Su Xi made her way to the car and arrived at the address sent to her by Chen Juan.

As Su Xi's eyes traveled all over the home, she noticed how beautifully the house is made. Although, not as magnificent as her home, but still, conformity and perfect for a small family.

'He had made him quite cool.' Su Xi walked inside, as she knocked on the door. But she was nervous as well, not because of what he might say but because she doesn't know anyone else here. 

It was like, she had come all alone to attend his party but she hopes it won't be too much awkward for her.

But then, she thought of the reason for coming here. At least, she knows Chen Juana and only wishes that it doesn't seem quite awkward for them.

Taking a deep breath, she relaxed and waited for anyone to open the door so that she could go inside. Then, comes a lady in white in her view. As she opened the door, the lady looked at her from top to bottom with her calculative yes.

"Who are you?" she enquired but before Su Xi could have replied, they both heard Chen Juan's voice from behind.

"Xiao Xiao, let her if. She Is My friend for today." the lady moved aside and gave her space to move and come inside. Su Xi passed her a smile and then walked out of Chen Juan.

"Congratulations." She gave him a side hug and he returned it to her. For the very first time, Su Xi noticed that he looked quite smart in formal wear. 

"Thank you so much. And welcome to my home as well." Chen Juan was happy that she took out her precious tie and came to his party.

"You look handsome." Su Xi complimented.

A slight blush came on his cheeks but then he replied, "You don't look bad yourself. After all, the Su family is blessed with great genes.'

But then, they heard his friend's teasing from the other side, "Oh C'mon Chen Juan! Make us meet her too! Why are you not introducing her to us? Are we strangers?"

At this time, Su Xi's attention went to the other people in the presenting room. They all looked like a couple and only two-three were bachelors as they were present with their respective spouses. 

This suddenly made her feel that shows the only lady who was single here. But then, Chen Juan brought her a little forward near them and spoke in a slight tone, "Guys, she is Su Xi, my new friend, and Su Xi, they all are my college friends. You can say that they have been like this from my college days." Su Xi chuckled hear this.

"It's nice to meet you all." Su Xi spoke and they all nodded their head.

But it looks like, none of them actually guessed who she actually was. But certainly not because his friend once again asked them while taking a sip of his wine, "Wait! Aren't you the heir of Su's business? if I'm not wrong?"

"Well… That I'm." Su Xi spoke in a light voice because she doesn't wish them to know about her business.

Not because she is afraid of anything but because it would be much easier to interact with them if they treat her like any normal person. She is a businesswoman but for the very first time, wishes to be treated like normal, middle-class people also.

"Oh, brother. You did not introduce her to me? I'm not your college friend by the way." the same lady who opened the door for her came from behind while Su Xi waited for Chen Juan to speak.

"Su Xi, this is my younger sister, Chen Xiao. You can call her Xiao Xiao because that's her nickname and she only listens like this." His sister pouted but then, she ignored her brother's word and turned to Su XI.

"You are too beautiful. You know, I have read a magazine in which it was written about your life and let me tell you, it was so much aspiring for a young lady like me!" The lady became dine joy when she realized that it was her idol Su Xi. in contrast Su Xi passed her smile.

She had no idea which magazine was she talking about and considered it to be a late one, at the interview might have actually slipped out of her mind and she doesn't wish to know any more about it,

"I have a small request from every one of you." Su Xi gained everyone's attention and they all heard her upcoming words with utmost seriousness, "Can you guys behave normally around me? Like not as I'm the heir of Su business but normally as I Am a friend of Chen Juan? It would be more beneficial for me." 

Su Xi's request was reasonable as they all understood the meaning behind her. She was like another person, and they weren't in any business party anymore. It was a joyous occasion!

"Oh sure. And.. take this." one person offered her the drink and she took it into her hand.

"If you want to be with us, like a real family parting, then you will have to finish this glass in one go. Don't worry, it won't make you feel dizzy too soon." Su Xi laugh and did as they said.

She finished the glass in one go and they all cheered seeing this. But the most important, the way Chen Juan was looking at Su XI with adoration in his eyes did not miss his sister's eyes. She saw how he looked at the lady and couldn't help but nudge his shoulder.

But he simply ignored her and kept his eyes glued to SU Xi instead.

"Oh, by the way, Ms. Su, are you single like Chen Juan?"
