Gu Qingyao actually didn't like Yu Hanlan's look at all. When Yu Hanlan talked to them, she basically opened her mouth for Li Muyan alone using her habitual words, treating her like she was nothing.

Compared to Bai Chuyun who was constantly flustered and exasperated, Yu Hanlan clearly did not put him in his eyes at all.

Gu Qingyao smiled, then heard Li Muyan speak: "Xiao Yao is still adapting to the time difference, let's not go."

The intimacy and defense in her tone were self-evident.

Gu Qingyao suddenly felt that her anger had calmed down a little.

As expected, Yu Hanlan stiffened and said: "Miss Gu isn't going to cause a commotion? This is also the first time that everyone has had an exchange of pointers. If I remember correctly, Miss Gu's friends have also gone over. It's just that they don't usually participate in these types of activities, and look a little unfamiliar. "

"Miss Yu is rather concerned about me, and has flattered me a bit." Gu Qingyao said with a smile.

Yu Hanlan chuckled: "Miss Gu is too kind."

"I'm still not going. I'm a bit tired today." Gu Qingyao said.

"Miss Gu is also the same." Yu Hanlan gave a light smile, "Although Miss Gu is still young, she should know not to act so arrogantly towards others. Miss Gu's reliance on Mr. Li has really made Mr. Li come here for nothing."

"I'm just here to accompany Qing Yao." Li Muyan's short explanation made him frown, as he obviously didn't like Yu Hanlan's way of speaking.

Yu Hanlan had originally planned to give Gu Qingyao a beating, but seeing Li Muyan's reaction, he felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "If that's the case, then I will say too much."

"Since Miss Yu thinks that this kind of social occasion is very precious, why not quickly participate in it?" Li Muyan picked up his cup, obviously prepared to let the guests go.

Yu Hanlan's face paled a little, but she still forced a smile: "Then I'll go down first, Young Master Li, I'll see you tomorrow."

Li Muyan did not reply. Instead, he gave a light cough and was about to speak when Li Muyan held the back of his hand.

His fingers felt a little cold, and when they touched the back of Gu Qingyao's hand, it made Gu Qingyao's entire person freeze for a moment, as he swallowed back down the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Yu Hanlan made herself look boring and left in embarrassment.

After a long while, when Yu Hanlan finally walked out of the room, Li Muyan finally retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, "Don't bother with her."

"Yu Hanlan's methods are better than Bai Chuyun's." Gu Qingyao said softly, "But at that time, grandfather actually wanted you and Yu Hanlan to get married, which did make me a little surprised." Gu Qingyao frowned.

Li Muyan said indifferently: "Many people strengthen their own businesses like this."

"Then you …"

"I don't need it." Li Muyan's tone carried thirty percent arrogance, but Gu Qingyao knew that Li Muyan had the ability.

He used himself to create a world in this domain, and he also relied on himself to reach this place.

For someone like Li Muyan, there was no need to rely on any kind of assistance in the exchange, not to mention using emotions as bargaining chips —

To him, that was undoubtedly an insult.

Gu Qingyao felt that she was in a good mood and laughed: "But have Yu Hanlan also chased after Mr. Li like this in the past?"

Li Muyan was slightly startled, and really thought about this question carefully.

He found that he could not recall it very well.

There were a lot of famous people in Seahold. Many people had once considered forming an alliance with Li Muyan, and the easiest way to form an alliance was undoubtedly to get married together.

Li Muyan's family background was very clean, at least it looked like it, and was behind all of them.

No one cared whether this relationship was fragile or not. What they cared about was whether it was on the surface. As long as they didn't fall out with each other, this relationship could be useful.

He was young and promising, with a heroic, handsome look, it was impossible to overstate the praises he had given Li Muyan, but when they truly interacted, everyone realized that Li Muyan was just too intimately familiar with him.

Not only did he not allow the media to follow the filming, but he had also made a lot of noise and hype about it. Li Muyan had almost never gotten infected with it, and there were almost no rumors about it.

After what happened with Bai Chuyun, the Bai Family had paid such a painful price, and no one had forgotten …

As time passed, Li Muyan became alone and it also became a habit.

But even so, there were still a lot of girls behind Li Muyan. These girls all had good backgrounds, but they were all thinking in their hearts, liking this Young Master Li, and dreaming of a dream that was difficult to come by.

Although Li Muyan knew about all of this, he had never shown any preference.

Except Gu Qingyao.

When Gu Qingyao asked this question with a smile on her face, Li Muyan had truly thought about it seriously, and then smiled: "It should be true, I have never really put it to heart, but right now, I have spent quite a bit of time with you, so it seems that both Yu Hanlan and Bai Chuyun have sensed danger, which is why they are getting more and more restless."

Gu Qingyao was startled, and her face became a little hot.

"Um …" "However, the relationship between us is not that kind of …"

"In the past, I rarely get so close to people," Li Muyan suddenly opened his mouth. He paused for a moment and said with a slightly more serious tone: "You are very special to me."

"Of course, you're my uncle." It was unknown who Gu Qingyao was lying to, or who she was lying to.

Li Muyan moved closer, his eyes carried a look of possessiveness, and he smiled: "Maybe."

Gu Qingyao heard her own heartbeat speed up a bit, thump thump.

However, Li Muyan very quickly retreated a little, and said with a light smile: "Tomorrow, we will have our first colloquium. When is the economic collapse point that you predicted?"

"Eh?" Gu Qingyao hadn't even reacted to it, why did the topic suddenly change?

"I mean, when did you predict an economic crash node? If you come up with that idea tomorrow, but it hasn't happened before our discussion is over, then. "I'm sure there won't be a more shocking turn in the next few days." Li Muyan said.

Gu Qingyao nodded her head in agreement, and with a very assured expression: "I think it will be tomorrow. Today is the weekend, and many things are already happening."

"Tomorrow." Li Muyan looked at Gu Qingyao for a while, his gaze a little surprised. "Actually, normally, economic prediction experts would have a hard time predicting the time accurately, and would only be able to speculate half of the previous year, or at most a certain quarter.

Gu Qingyao's heart trembled.

She was someone who had experienced it once, and she clearly remembered the reaction of everyone at the table when the tipping point had appeared. They had even forgotten about the seminar and were preoccupied with discussing it with their family.

However, when faced with Li Muyan's expression, Gu Qingyao could only force a smile: "I was only guessing based on the data analysis, I probably wasn't that accurate either."
