I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Judging from the smile on her face as she dances on the dance floor, she seems to be happy.

She was kept in a cocoon tailor-made for her by Gu Zongyan, and everything she came into contact with was carefully designed by Gu Zongyan so that she would come into contact with it.

Having lived like this since childhood, she must think that this kind of life is normal, right?

Gu Yuqing took a sip of the slightly bitter wine.

After Gu Chengxi finished her dance, the guests applauded, and then others joined in to dance in the pool.

Gu Yuqing saw Cai Zhenyi lead a woman into the dance floor. The woman seemed to be from a prominent family. Gu Yuqing thought she had seen her before, but she couldn't remember her name.

I don't know how Cai Zhenyi managed to hook up with her.

Wu Qiutong whispered in Gu Yuqing's ear, "I thought Cai Zhenyi would come over to invite you."

Gu Yuqing sneered twice and said, "Did I reject him when he came over? It's been so long, he should understand by now."

Wu Qiutong shook her head and said, "It shows that he is not persistent enough and does not have the patience to keep swinging the hoe."

“No, he’s changed his strategy now,” Gu Yuqing said, crossing her long legs. “He thinks that by suppressing Chen Ya and squeezing out everyone around me, I’ll favor him. How could that be?”

Wu Qiutong's eyes showed worry: "But what if he really does it..."

Gu Yuqing shook her head: "Chen Ya is not so easily defeated."

"You trust him quite a bit, don't you?" Wu Qiutong habitually popped a juice into her mouth.

Gu Yuqing didn't speak, because Yi Yangbing was walking towards them not far away.

The young man approached the two, gave Gu Yuqing a gentlemanly bow, and said, "I couldn't succeed last time, would you do me the honor of dancing with me this time?"

"Don't you have a dance partner?" Gu Yuqing glanced at the obscure, unknown starlet that Yi Yangbing had brought over not far away.

The woman was sitting there sulking, her eyes constantly glancing this way.

Yi Yangbing smiled and said, "She can wait. She didn't say she had to dance with the person she brought."

Gu Yuqing shook her head and said, "Please dance with the person you brought. I already have a dance partner; he'll be here soon."

"Chen Ya?" Yi Yangbing asked with a smile.

"Hmm, don't you already know that?"

Yi Yangbing's smile gradually turned sarcastic as he said:

"It seems Miss Gu has made up her mind to submit to a poor man who didn't even finish junior high school?"

Yi Yangbing cursed without using any vulgar language, which annoyed Wu Qiutong, who was standing nearby. She held her plate and angrily ate large mouthfuls of shrimp, but didn't know how to refute him.

Gu Yuqing said, "Don't you know that heroes are not judged by their origins?"

Yi Yangbing spread his hands and laughed, "But is he a hero? Haha!"

Just then, gasps and sighs came from behind them, and many people were talking about something.

Yi Yangbing's gaze also turned in that direction, then his expression froze on his face. Gu Yuqing and Wu Qiutong noticed something was wrong and turned around as well.

Not far away, a person was striding across the grass, his clothes fluttering in the air.

The place this person just passed through was where some of the "female relatives" gathered.

Some of the guests' wives and daughters, who didn't want to dance or were too old to dance, stood in groups of three or five. When the man passed by them, it caused a small commotion.

Because this guy is just too handsome.

He has the kind of striking good looks that make people wonder if he's a celebrity from somewhere.

Upon seeing the man approaching, several of the women exclaimed, while those who didn't shout patted each other and pointed him out to those around them, perhaps mistaking him for a celebrity.

Wu Qiutong turned around, stared blankly for a long time, before swallowing the shrimp meat in her mouth and saying in a dry voice:

"Sister, your man is so handsome today, it's almost illegal!"

For some reason, Gu Yuqing's pent-up anger suddenly seemed to vanish, and a smile couldn't be suppressed as she said:

"Of course, I made him dress up nicely."

Wu Qiutong turned to look at her and said quietly, "When I said he was your man, you didn't even argue."

"..."

The person who walked over in such an exaggerated manner was, of course, Chen Ya.

Just as Gu Yuqing noticed him, he spotted her from afar and walked straight towards her. Upon reaching her, he didn't even greet Yi Yangbing, who was standing to the side, and simply extended his hand.

"Sorry I'm late. The song isn't over yet, is it? Is it still possible to catch up?"

Gu Yuqing reached out and placed her hand in his palm, smiling faintly: "If we run there now, we'll make it in time."

"Then let's run. Can we run here?" Chen Ya glanced nervously at the surroundings, as if running here would be quite impolite.

Gu Yuqing lifted her skirt and stood up, took Chen Ya's hand, and laughed, "No need to run, I was just kidding."

Chen Ya already possesses a fatal charm; even though he deliberately doesn't care about his appearance and wears random clothes, he's still very handsome.

Moreover, since I was attending a special occasion today, I styled my hair, put on some makeup, and changed into a very presentable outfit.

This level of charm is off the charts.

Watching her best friend walk hand in hand with Chen Ya toward the dance floor, Wu Qiutong just sat there sadly and shook her head.

"Sister, you're still thinking about playing with other people? I've never seen someone get caught up in it all the time..."

As the two entered the dance floor, people turned their heads and stared at them with slightly open eyes.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they are a perfect match, a man of exceptional talent and a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Gu Yuqing held Chen Ya's waist and whispered, "I told you to learn to dance, but did you even learn? You haven't practiced a single day, have you?"

"I really don't have time," Chen Ya said softly, "I'll just follow your steps, okay?"

"If you dare step on my foot, I'll pinch your waist."

Chen Ya laughed and said, "Why do you women all like to put your hands on your hips?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yuqing realized something was wrong.

"It's nothing," Chen Ya quickly suppressed his smile.

"come over!"

Gu Yuqing pulled Chen Ya's hand hard, and the two twirled into the dance floor. Gu Chengxi, who was sitting on the head seat next to the dance floor rubbing her feet, saw Chen Ya, her eyes widened suddenly, and she covered her mouth.

Her female classmate next to her excitedly shook her arm and said, "Who's your sister's boyfriend? He's so handsome!"

Ye Xianzhi, still basking in the brief moment of being the protagonist, felt as if she had been dragged out of the spotlight. Holding her wine glass, she said:

"No, no, he looks like an average celebrity."

The girl next to him looked at him with disdain: "A celebrity is ordinary? Why aren't you a celebrity?"

Beside Gu Zongyan, a powerful figure glanced at Gu Yuqing, who was beaming with excitement in the middle of the dance floor, patted Gu Zongyan on the shoulder, and said:

"You were just telling me your niece has bad taste, but I think she's great! Where did you find her?"

Gu Zongyan also saw Chen Ya, who was holding hands and spinning around with Gu Yuqing. He paused for a moment and said, "Judging by appearance alone..."

Xia Longju, standing to the side, had his mouth agape and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Having finally recovered from his speechlessness, Xia Longju immediately said, "Old classmate, you're so lucky! I just met your niece's boyfriend!"

Gu Zongyan was taken aback and asked, "You've seen it before? Where have you seen it?"

"Just now!" Xia Longju exclaimed in disbelief.

How many chapters are there in Chapter 395?

Gu Yuqing twirled in the center of the dance floor with light, quick steps, her movements like butterfly wings.

Chen Ya followed her steps, slightly clumsy, but not chaotic.

Yet, even with their clumsy dance steps, the moment the two of them started dancing, they captivated the entire dance floor.

Cai Zhenyi was dancing gracefully with the unknown young lady from a prominent family when, without realizing it, he noticed that all eyes outside the venue were focused on the other side.

Wherever Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya stood, even without doing anything, it was hard not to attract attention. Cai Zhenyi kept glancing over there, so much so that he accidentally stepped on his dance partner's foot twice.

When Cai Zhenyi made his third mistake, his dance partner finally lost his temper, shook off his hand, and angrily said, "I'm not dancing anymore!"

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and left the dance floor.

Cai Zhenyi stood there awkwardly for a while, and many people pointed at him and snickered. His face turned red, and he quickly came out of the dance floor, wanting to catch up with his dance partner, but he couldn't find him.

"You're not jumping anymore?"

Cai Zhenyi heard Yi Yangbing's voice from behind and turned around to see Yi Yangbing and Zhang Weiqiang.

"You didn't participate either, did you?" Cai Zhenyi retorted.

Yi Yangbing smiled, said nothing, stared at the couple in the center of the dance floor, and took a big gulp of wine.

He had prepared for this ball for a long time. After failing to invite Gu Yuqing, he planned to take advantage of the break when the first group of people were tired and rested, and then show off his skills on the dance floor.

But when those two people entered, he gave up.

He's used to being in the spotlight. Going in now would only make him a supporting character to those two.

Zhang Weiqiang stared at Chen Ya and said, "You know what, you really shouldn't say, he's a bit... well, you know..."

He wanted to offer a sincere compliment, but jealousy got the better of him, and he ultimately didn't say it. However, everyone else knew what he wanted to say.

The dancers on the dance floor quickly noticed the focus of attention, and more and more people left, tactfully departing one after another, until only Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya remained on the dance floor.

Cai Zhenyi looked over there with a touch of bitterness; that spot should have been his. But then he remembered something, rallied his spirits, and said to Yi Yangbing:

"Let's go find Uncle Gu."

Yi Yangbing nodded: "I agree."

When the two walked to Gu Zongyan's side, his remarried wife Wen Shujing was sitting next to him, holding their youngest son Gu Benli in her arms, while Gu Chengxi, who was sweating profusely from jumping, was sitting on the other side rubbing her feet.

Wen Shujing said softly, "You're always dissatisfied with this and that. I think this guy is quite nice. He's so handsome. Yuqing has good taste."

"Is being handsome enough? Does being handsome mean you have good taste?" Gu Zongyan said.

"At least it's not as bad as you think, right?" Wen Shujing said, rubbing his hand. "I think this is good. If Yuqing likes it, let's date. Our family's conditions don't require her to marry a rich and powerful man. Let her marry whoever she likes."

Gu Zongyan was even more frustrated and said, "That's not the problem, you know that... never mind."

Gu Zongyan thought that Wen Shujing was actually hoping that Gu Yuqing would get married soon.

It was Gu Zongyan himself who was unwilling to accept it.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of discussing this matter with Wen Shujing.

But he didn't intend to let Gu Yuqing off so easily.

"After she finishes dancing, tell her to come to the private room. I'll wait for her there," Gu Zongyan said to Wen Shujing. "Tell her to bring that boy along too. I want to take a closer look at him."

Gu Chengxi quickly asked, "Can I watch it together?"

Gu Zongyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and pointed at Cai Zhenyi: "Xiao Cai, you come too."

Cai Zhenyi nodded hurriedly, "Okay."

Beside her, Gu Chengxi's female classmate whispered to her, "Can I go take a look too? I'll just watch from the side, I won't disturb you..."

Gu Chengxi gasped, "Isn't that inappropriate? Why? What do you want to see?"

"Because he's handsome..."

Gu Chengxi was speechless.

Wen Shujing nudged Gu Benli beside her and said:

"Go and take your dad's teacup over. He's in a hurry, so don't say anything you shouldn't later."

Gu Benli asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'shouldn't have said it'?"

Wen Shujing sighed and said, "Just don't say anything."

Gu Benli clicked his tongue, reluctantly picked up his teacup, and said:
