C26 Who Do You Think I Care About?

When Chu Liangyun saw Chu Xinlian, she instantly left Qi Jingyuan's embrace and sat up straight as if she was responding to something.

"Hmm?" Qi Jingyuan seemed to have heard Chu Xinlian's words. There was no emotion in his eyes. Only the restlessness and impatience in his heart could be seen.

Chu Xinlian pretended not to care as she got closer. Suddenly, she tripped over something and fell straight onto Qi Jingyuan's body.

Chu Liangyun, who was standing at the side, felt her chest turn cold as the fragrance of the red wine permeated the air.

"Pa!" The sound of a wine cup breaking on the ground echoed out, attracting the gazes of everyone in the banquet.

"Sorry, sorry, Yun!" Chu Xinlian quietly apologized.

She laid in Qi Jingyuan's arms, pretending to support her arm weakly, but gave up as if she couldn't get up.

Finally, he took a seat in Qi Jingyuan's arms, picked up a tissue on the table and wiped it on Chu Liangyun's body.

The collar of Chu Liangyun's dress was rather high and red, but when spilled with the wine, it revealed a vague alluring scene.

This scene entered the eyes of many people. It was unknown which aristocratic family's child whistled, and the surrounding people started to jeer as well.

Many sarcastic female voices came, probably saying, "Chu Liangyun is too shameless, isn't she? "So in broad daylight …"

When the man at the banquet saw Chu Liangyun in such a sorry state, he had already started a joke on the side and it actually got into Qi Jingyuan's ears.

Qi Jingyuan's gaze darkened.

Seeing this, Chu Xinlian felt extremely proud of herself. However, she maintained her weak and gentle expression as she said, "I'm sorry sister, I didn't do it on purpose …"

Annoyed and angry, Chu Liangyun's blush crept into her ears.

She glanced at Qi Jingyuan and met his cold and deep eyes. There was not a trace of concern for her in them.

She pursed her lips ironically.

Suddenly, she covered her chest with one hand and grabbed the red wine on the table with the other, preparing to splash it onto Chu Xinlian's face.

How could the culprit of her suffering be safe and sound?

Only then did a man with a cold expression open his mouth. With a cold voice, he said, "Put it down."

Chu Liangyun's hand subconsciously stopped in midair as she looked at him in disbelief.

"Qi Jingyuan, what do you mean?"

Lili looked at her, as if she was frightened, and shrank into Qi Jingyuan's arms. "Jingyuan, I'm afraid..."

"It's not shameful enough, is it?" Qi Jingyuan looked at Chu Liangyun's shocked eyes and said impatiently.

In her ears, it sounded like she was protecting Chu Xinlian.

"Do you feel sorry for her?" Chu Liangyun laughed mockingly and lowered her voice by quite a bit.

Qi Jingyuan laughed: "Who do I care about being pained? You can control it?"

"Right, I don't care!" Chu Liangyun made a bet in her heart before feeling a tinge of sadness. Just as she was about to turn around and change her clothes …

The moment he turned around, a man's cold voice came from behind him, "Have you not lost enough face?"

"Go back!"

The word was an order and it made Chu Liangyun's heart ache.

"Director Qi, don't worry. He's just losing my face!"

She didn't look back as she walked away, walking with her heels through the crowd.

Just a few steps away, tears began to form in his eyes.

The man behind her had a dark expression on his face. He pressed his hand on his forehead, which was hurting. However, Chu Liangyun's expression, which was filled with embarrassment and annoyance, had always remained on his mind and was unable to get rid of it.

With one hand covering her chest, Chu Liangyun made a phone call to Ye Xiahuan. She had experienced such a sudden situation before, so she wasn't too flustered.

Currently, the only person that could make her panic was that man …

Ye Xiahuan, on the other hand, had always been efficient. She delivered the new dress ten minutes later.

After she found a room to change into, she continued to drink at the banquet, ignoring the gazes that looked at her as if they were watching a good show.

She was sitting, a tall figure in front of her, a gentle, handsome face in front of her.

"Did something bad just happen?"

It was Gu Nanyi's usual gentle voice. He had something to do and left for a while, so when he came back, he heard that something had happened to Chu Liangyun.

It was not big, but it made him feel unhappy.

Chu Liangyun smiled at him. "It's already fine."

"It's really fine?" Gu Nanyi curled his lips, and teased in a teasing tone, "I thought something happened to my partner, so I came back in a hurry."

There was a trace of hurt in her tone, making Chu Liangyun laugh. "It's really alright now."

When the two of them came and went, they would occasionally switch to business matters and chat in a very pleasant manner.

"Thank you, Director Gu." Chu Liangyun lowered her eyes and pretended to be relaxed. "My mood is much better now."

She understood that Gu Nanyi had always been a gentle person. He must have sensed that she was in a bad mood and came over to chat with her.

Gu Nanyi lightly nodded his head and didn't care about it. He changed the topic: "What does Director Chu usually play?"

"Play?" A trace of confusion flashed in Chu Liangyun's eyes.

She was usually too busy, and recently, when she got sick, she hardly ever touched the fun again.

"In a little while, it will be an important part of the banquet." Gu Nanyi's warm eyes were filled with a mysterious light.

"To sea."

What had just happened had already wiped away Chu Liangyun's good mood, so she wasn't too interested in going out to sea.

But what could they do about Gu Nanyi's invitation?

She didn't want to brush him off, but she still frowned.

"Can you refuse?" Chu Liangyun picked up her goblet and took a sip of wine.

Gu Nanyi's smile deepened: "What do you think?"

"This is a good idea for relaxing."

Relax …

Did she really express her unhappiness so clearly?

Chu Liangyun thought sorrowfully. Then why couldn't Qi Jingyuan see it when they had all seen it?

She suppressed the sadness in her heart and let out a sincere smile towards Gu Nanyi. She said with certainty, "It is indeed not bad."

That would mean accepting his invitation.

The girl's smile was beautiful, but the emptiness in her eyes was reflected in Gu Nanyi's eyes. He felt a pain in his chest.

She seemed to have taken on too much recently, whether it was gossip or group pressure … Gu Nanyi forced himself to pull his thoughts back and smiled warmly at her.

Just as Gu Nanyi had said, after half of the banquet, it was transferred to a large cruise.

It was late in the afternoon, and the rays of the sun reflected off the surface of the sea. It was a bit romantic. The white deck of the cruise ship was spacious and clean, interweaving the smell of the sea and the fragrance of alcohol and tobacco.

The people on the cruise ship were toasting each other, and the noise was incessant.

Chu Liangyun felt a headache coming on. She had to avoid the crowd by herself and find a slightly remote place to lean on to the railing to get the wind blowing.
