Lu An said that Gu Yu’s personality was unrestrained and he definitely did not like such noisy and hypocritical occasions.

Jin Nian felt that it wasn’t a good idea for them to be alone. If anyone saw them, they might misunderstand. So, she walked to the other side. The two of them were a few meters away from each other, enjoying their time alone.

A gentle breeze blew, gently lifting Jin Nian’s skirt, revealing her slender and fair calves. The hair by her ears swayed gently with the wind, making her look quite playful.

Jin Nian stood under a tree and looked up. The tree was very lush. Jin Nian didn’t know what kind of tree it was, but she could see a small white flower swaying gently in the breeze.

The petals swayed in the breeze and fell on Jin Nian’s head. She didn’t notice it and just stood there quietly to enjoy the scenery.

“Does it look good?”

A deep and magnetic voice came from behind her, scaring Jin Nian so much that she trembled. She quickly turned her head and saw Gu Yu walking over and standing behind her.

Jin Nian turned to the side and took a few steps back to put some distance between her and Gu Yu. “It’s beautiful,” she said softly.

“I think it’s beautiful too.” Gu Yu was staring at Jin Nian when he said this. She didn’t know if he was talking about the person or the flower on the tree.

Gu Yu reached out his hand, and Jin Nian instinctively dodged. The man grabbed her wrist and took a white flower from her head.

“I want to help you take the flower down. Don’t think too much about it,” he explained as he held the flower between his slender fingers.

Jin Nian gently shook off Gu Yu’s hand and felt her breathing quicken. She knew that people in M Nation were more open-minded. Gu Yu grew up there, so he was naturally not as reserved as Chinese people. However, Jin Nian felt that Gu Yu’s approach made her nervous.

Although she shook off Gu Yu’s hand, the place he touched was burning hot, as if it was on fire.

“Thank… Thank you.” Jin Nian’s voice was trembling. She lowered her eyes but could still feel Gu Yu’s burning gaze on her.

Jin Nian wasn’t that narcissistic. She didn’t think that Gu Yu liked her. She felt that Gu Yu was treating her as a pastime. He had probably dated too many women from America. The sudden appearance of an Asian face beside him piqued his interest.

“Niannian, your gown is very beautiful today. It’s just that your makeup doesn’t suit you,” Gu Yu said softly, his tall and straight body still blocking Jin Nian, showing no intention of backing down.

Gu Yu started calling her “Niannian” intimately. She always thought that only people close to her could call her that. It didn’t seem appropriate for her husband’s friends to call her that. However, Gu Yu called her that so naturally. If Jin Nian hadn’t allowed him to call her that, it would seem like she was overthinking things.

Gu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her. “Are you still angry with me?”

Jin Nian raised her eyes abruptly and looked at Gu Yu with a strange expression. He sounded as if they were a couple.

“I’m not angry. You don’t have to take what happened before to heart.” Jin Nian spoke in a distant tone.

“Then why are you ignoring me?” Gu Yu moved closer. From afar, it looked like the two of them were hugging each other.

Jin Nian took two steps back and leaned her back against the tree. She looked at Gu Yu warily and said coldly, “You’re too close to me. Pay attention to your social distance.”

Being so close to a member of the opposite sex and the two of them being alone, the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

The street lamps in the back garden were shining brightly on the ounce of them. They were very beautiful and looked very compatible. However, in the next second, Jin Nian lifted the hem of her dress and turned around to leave. She quickly walked back to the banquet hall.

The hall was bustling with people, and there were men and women dressed in bright clothes everywhere. Everyone was smiling and polite, and the atmosphere of the upper class was everywhere.

Jin Nian felt that instead of going to the backyard to be tortured by Gu Yu, she might as well go back to the banquet hall. She looked around but did not see Lu An. She knew that Lu An would not abandon her, so she walked around and finally saw a man and a woman in the corridor.

The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was wearing a tight-fitting gold-colored gown. She was tall and voluptuous, with long golden hair and a pair of big, watery eyes. She looked at the man in front of her with a seductive gaze.

If that man wasn’t Lu An, Jin Nian would be very happy to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

The woman continued to approach while Lu An took two steps back. He held a glass of red wine in his hand and separated the two of them, tactfully rejecting her.

“Her name is Erica.” A familiar voice came from behind Jin Nian. Gu Yu had followed her and was looking at her with a smile..
