"Clap clap clap—"
"Clap clap clap clap—"
Someone at the banquet took the lead and started applauding.
"Clap clap clap clap—"
More and more people offered their applause to this handsome man and beautiful woman.
In a corner, a woman in a black jumpsuit-style work suit lazily swirled the glass in her hand, pale champagne in it.
Watching Liu Bochang and Zhen Lingling exchange engagement rings, Gu Jin downed her champagne in one go.
She set the now-empty glass on the table beside her. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she saw her second disciple, Jiang Hanyi, walking toward her.
Jiang Hanyi caught the look Gu Jin threw his way.
He parted his lips to call out to her, but no sound came.
From the shape of his mouth, Gu Jin knew this kid was calling her "Shifu."
Leaning against the table, Gu Jin smiled and beckoned to Jiang Hanyi, and he immediately quickened his pace.
"Shifu."
Only when he was standing in front of Gu Jin did Jiang Hanyi lower his voice and call out to her.
Gu Jin answered with a soft, "Mm."
She gave Jiang Hanyi a once-over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Jin knew Saint No Hotel belonged to Jiang Hanyi, but she didn’t understand why, on the day of the Zhen and Liu Families’ engagement and Old Master Zhen’s birthday, Jiang Hanyi would be here.
Whether it was the Zhen Family or the Liu Family, her second disciple had nothing to do with either of them.
A faint smile hung on Jiang Hanyi’s delicate features. "I saw Shifu downstairs just now, so I followed to take a look. Who knew the moment you came upstairs you vanished, had me searching all over."
Gu Jin’s lips curved slightly. "I had something to do just now. I’m about to leave."
"Then I’ll see Shifu out."
Jiang Hanyi was very proper and didn’t ask why she was here.
The two of them left the banquet one after the other.
In the crowd, Liu Bochang immediately spotted the figure of the woman he’d been searching for in vain earlier.
When he saw there was a man beside Gu Jin, displeasure flickered in his eyes.
Liu Bochang said a few words to the people around him, then hurried after them.
Jiang Hanyi had just taken the elevator down with Gu Jin.
In the lobby, they ran into the manager of Saint No Hotel.
The manager strode toward them in a rush, face anxious. "Boss, I finally found you!"
Jiang Hanyi’s brows knit slightly. "What’s happened?"
After listening to the manager’s explanation, he learned that people from the Jiang Family had come.
Jiang Hanyi’s eldest brother was in Beijing on a business trip and had dropped by to see his little brother.
Hearing this, Gu Jin said to her second disciple, "You go ahead. We’ll talk later."
Thinking of how he hadn’t seen his big brother in a long time, hesitation flashed in Jiang Hanyi’s eyes. "Shifu, how did you get here?"
"I drove."
Jiang Hanyi decided to go see his big brother first. "Then I won’t see Shifu out. Take it slow on the road."
"Got it."
Gu Jin waved at him and headed toward the hotel’s main entrance.
In the end, Jiang Hanyi still walked her out of the hotel, watching as she headed toward the parking lot before turning back inside.
When she reached the parking space and her hand had just touched the car door, she heard an urgent voice behind her.
"Miss Gu, please wait."
The voice behind her was so familiar that Gu Jin knew she could never forget it, in this life or the last.
A cold sharpness flashed in her eyes.
Liu Bochang had rushed after her as fast as he could and finally managed to catch up to Gu Jin.
He steadied his breathing and walked toward Gu Jin, who was standing in front of the car with her back to him.
"Miss Gu, why are you leaving so soon? I haven’t properly introduced myself yet. My name is Liu Bochang, and I’m your... your sister’s fiancé."
He stumbled for a moment when introducing himself.
Gu Jin slowly turned around, her face wearing a smile as she stared at Liu Bochang behind her.
