"Director Wang, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Fu Shuanyi and Gu Lingfeng brought their wine cups over. After Fu Shuangyi greeted them, she gracefully raised her wine cup and stood before them, sipping on it to show her welcome.

The three of them were in a discussion, and a moment later, the two of them sent Boss Wang off. A few reporters came up to them and began to wildly clap at them. However, Gu Lingfeng was very unhappy with this kind of reporter's performance. He placed a hand in front of Fu Shuang Yi, and frowned as he said to the reporter in front of him, "Stop filming, you're not allowed to film anymore."

"Hello! May I ask Miss Fu and Chairman Gu, what is your relationship? Yesterday, someone took a photo of the two of you dining together in the restaurant, and now that Director Gu is protecting Miss Fu, are you a couple now? " After Gu Lingfeng had shouted, many people put away their flashlights, and the sound of their photos being taken became much softer. a female reporter asked urgently as she held up the microphone high in front of them.

"Miss Fu and I are still not as everyone thinks. Miss Fu just came back from overseas and had a successful career. Miss Fu would not date so early. Besides, being in a relationship is someone else's private matter, so you don't need to ask too much." Gu Lingfeng rushed forward to explain to everyone, while Fu Shuanyi stood behind, not uttering a single word. All she did was smile at the reporter before her.

Everyone thought that Gu Lingfeng helping Fu Shuang Yi out was to protect her. At the same time, the people who were doing good deeds also deduced from Gu Lingfeng's words that he and Fu Shuang Yi must have had an affair.

"When does Director Gu plan on publicly revealing his relationship with Miss Fu?"

"This time, Miss Fu directly signed on with the Gu Clan. Is that a direct agreement?"

"…"

Due to standing far away, Qin Ran could not hear much of Gu Lingfeng's earlier reply. However, she was able to clearly see the image of Gu Lingfeng in front of Fu Shuanyi. Furthermore, the reporters' sharp questions were not lowered in the slightest, so Qin Ran could not help but sneer.

Was this what Gu Lingfeng had said, 'Bring her here to clarify the relationship between him and Fu Shuanyi?' Gu Lingfeng was sure that he didn't want to show his love to Fu Shuangxiu in front of him and spread the news about the two of them. Since that was the case, what was the point of her staying here? Qin Ran put down the things in his hand, laughed at himself and prepared to leave.

Originally, Qin Ran had planned to walk around to the side so that no one would notice her and avoid looking at Gu Lingfeng with an awkward gaze. Gu Lingfeng had indeed not noticed him, but Fu Shuanyi had disrupted Qin Ran's plans.

Ever since the reporter had arrived, Fu Shuang Yi's gaze had been on Qin Ran from time to time. She had predicted that Qin Ran would leave once he saw this scene, so she prepared to give Gu Lingfeng another show of strength, "Ran! Where are you going? The washroom is there. Are you leaving? " Fu Shuanyi's eyes were filled with questions. It was so clear that not even the slightest speck of dirt could be seen.

"No, I just feel a little bored here. I'd like to take a walk outside and take a look." Since he had been caught red-handed, Qin Ran could only smile and say to Shuang Yi.

Fu Shuang Yi blinked and asked guiltily, "Did Lingfeng and I make you uncomfortable just now?"

At this moment, Fu Shuang Yi looked like a considerate girl, and Gu Lingfeng happened to have tidied up the reporters as well. When he turned his head and saw this scene, he realized that he had not considered Qin Ran's feelings, but that was not something he could control.

Looking at Qin Ran's expression, Gu Lingfeng felt that Qin Ran was not giving him any face, nor did he give Fu Shuanyi any face. Because of such a small matter, he was preparing to leave. When Gu Lingfeng heard Fu Shuang Yi's words, he also frowned in disbelief and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

"No, no." Although Qin Ran was smiling, his smile didn't seem to be a smile. It was just a fake smile, and there was nothing she could do about it. She really couldn't smile in front of these two.

"If you don't have any, you can go back and sit there. If you want to take a breather, you can go to the balcony." Gu Lingfeng's tone was slightly unfriendly. Wasn't Qin Ran obviously causing trouble for him like this? Did she not know that it was impossible for his to fall in love with Fu Shuanyi? Wasn't it obvious that he was going against him for getting mad at him?

Just as Qin Ran was about to retort, Fu Shuanyi interrupted them, "Alright, alright. Ran Ran was invited here by me specifically today. You can't be angry with her." Ran Ran, if you feel uncomfortable because of what happened just now, then I'll apologize with wine. As she spoke, Fu Shuanyi picked up a cup of wine and gulped it down.

Half a cup of red wine, to say the least, was worth it. Qin Ran watched as Fu Shuanyi did her best, an almost imperceptible taunt flashing across his eyes. He also brought a cup of wine and swirled it in front of her eyes, then downed it in one gulp. I only found out about the news of your birthday yesterday and didn't have the time to prepare a present for you. This goblet of wine can be considered as my birthday present for you, I wish you a happy birthday. "

Although the words seemed to be a blessing, Qin Ran's tone was calm and without any intention of congratulation. Fu Shuanyi was momentarily stunned before she chuckled. She picked up another cup of wine and smiled as she said to Qin Ran, "Since little sister has already said so, I'll give you my thanks for this as well." Fu Shuanyi raised his wine cup and drank the red wine in it once more.

With a provocative smile, he said, "Although the two of us haven't known each other for very long, after meeting each other, we had the feeling that we hated each other for being late. Let's toast to our friendship." Qin Ran was the first to drink it.

Seeing her act this way, Fu Shuangyi could only raise another glass of wine and slowly raise it towards Qin Ran, "For our sisterhood." After saying that, he prepared to drink it.

At this moment, Gu Lingfeng directly stopped Fu Shuang Yi's wine cup. Before he could even take a sip of the wine in his hand, he was carried to the side by Gu Lingfeng. Gu Lingfeng looked at Qin Ran with slight anger.

"Enough, don't drink anymore. Able will be welcoming other guests in a while. If you let her drink so much now, how will she entertain others later?"

This time, in order to avoid suspicion, as well as taking into consideration Qin Ran's feelings, Gu Lingfeng specifically did not blurt out the name 'Shuang Yi'. Instead, he called his 'Shuang Yi' and, in turn, 'Fu Shuang Yi'.

However, his actions and changes, in the eyes of Qin Ran, were merely defending Fu Shuanyi time and time again. Qin Ran grasped the empty wine cup tightly and placed it on the table, "Sorry Shuang Yi, I didn't consider everything."

"It's alright, it's still too early. There won't be too many people coming. Xi Ran, there are no other guests around right now. I seem to have drank too much just now, my head is hurting a little. Can you help me sit at the side? "
