Chapter 514 - Chapter 514 0504 Isnt the relationship where roses were gifted

Chapter 514: 0504 Isn’t the relationship where roses were gifted close? Chapter 514: 0504 Isn’t the relationship where roses were gifted close? Gu Heng only then noticed Su Ran in the crowd, his gaze becoming somewhat absent-minded as it fell on her.

Adorned in a white, blue, and red form-fitting long dress with its gradient of colors, and the ethereal chiffon, her figure appeared even more delicate and statuesque. Standing amongst the crowd, she had an air of otherworldly grace about her, immediately capturing one’s attention.

Even though she was right in front of him, it felt like there was an insurmountable mountain between them that he could never cross, causing an inexplicable tightness in Gu Heng’s heart.

He stared blankly at the girl in the crowd, who was at ease and confident, radiating brilliance, and even an inadvertent smile from her was dazzling enough to make it hard for one to look away.

Su Xinyan noticed Gu Heng’s distraction, and a coldness flickered through her eyes.

Su Ran extricated herself from those around her and approached Chu Ling.

“Let’s go!”

Chu Ling watched the awkward and clumsy display of those around her, her face barely concealing a sarcastic expression.

She glanced at them again, then smiled and nodded at Su Ran, responding softly.

“Mhm.”

At that moment, Gu Heng approached Su Ran with Su Xinyan by his side.

“Xiao Ran, you’re here too?”

Su Ran’s brows lifted slightly, but she did not respond to Gu Heng.

Su Xinyan, affectionately and sweetly holding onto Gu Heng’s arm, smiled at Su Ran.

“Sister, I’m here at the auction tonight because Uncle and Auntie asked Brother Heng to bring me. Brother Heng and I are about to get married, and it’s definitely too late for a custom ring now. Uncle and Auntie think the store’s rings are not good enough, not perfectly symbolic, so they asked Brother Heng to bring me to the auction to look.”

While speaking, Su Xinyan’s face beamed with coquettish happiness, “Really, Uncle and Auntie are too kind. I said I didn’t care about such formalities, but they insisted they didn’t want to wrong me. Brother Heng also said he wants to give me the best thing in this world. Oh, that’s right, sister, you must come to Brother Heng and my wedding banquet!”

Through her words, Su Xinyan expressed the Gu Family’s satisfaction and favor towards her, all the while wanting to see Su Ran deeply hurt.

However, Su Ran stood there leisurely, listening quietly to her monologue, making Su Xinyan seem like a buffoon.

The smile on Su Xinyan’s face slightly faded as she looked at Su Ran’s unperturbed demeanor, feeling like she was punching cotton.

It hurt so much!

She bit her lip and looked at Su Ran expectantly, calling out again, “Sister?”

Su Ran raised her brows, her gaze deep and meaningful.

“Are you sure you want me to attend your wedding feast?”

Su Xinyan’s face stiffened, a trace of strangeness flashing in her eyes.

“…Of course.”

“Xiao Ran, Xinyan and I sincerely hope that you will come to our wedding,” Gu Heng finally spoke, his expression complex yet filled with anticipation.

His heart was in his throat, afraid that Su Ran would agree and at the same time, afraid she would not.

Anxious and torn!

“Sorry, I might not have time for your wedding, but when you get divorced, I’ll definitely go.”

After finishing, Su Ran took Chu Ling and turned to leave.

Chu Ling struggled to hold back laughter, almost bursting into laughter out loud.

Everyone was stunned, and Su Xinyan’s face turned green!

The damn wench, she had the audacity to blatantly curse her to get divorced.

Gu Heng regained his composure with a barely concealed troubled expression.

Su Xinyan bit her lip and looked at Gu Heng with a face full of grievance, but before she could even complain, journalists swarmed around them.

She quickly managed her emotions, smiling as she answered the reporters’ questions.

“Miss Xinyan, congratulations on your upcoming march to the altar with President Gu.”

“Thank you!”

“Miss Xinyan, at today’s auction, is there anything you wish to bid for?”

“Of course, there is.”

Upon hearing this, the reporter quickly asked another question, “Is it in preparation for your wedding with President Gu?”

Su Xinyan looked shyly at Gu Heng beside her, “You’ll find out when the time comes!”

“Oh… it must be for the wedding preparations.”

The reporter said with a smile, then turned the microphone to Gu Heng.

“President Gu, will today’s auction bring us any surprises?”

Gu Heng simply smiled faintly, his voice gentle,

“This must remain a secret for now.”

“I’m sure there will be. I’m starting to look forward to tonight’s auction!”

“It must be very romantic. I wish you both an early congratulations, finally coming together!”

Su Xinyan, too, was full of surprise and delight. Seeing that Gu Heng did not deny it, her heart became even more excited.

Su Ran sat with Chu Ling in their seats, surrounded by the mingling celebrities and socialites of Yong City. On the stage ahead, the host and auctioneer were making preparations for the upcoming auction.

There was a bidder’s paddle on every seat, to be used later during the auction.

Bored, Su Ran sat in her seat, when suddenly a commotion erupted behind her.

“Wow, a feast for the eyes!”

“This striking scene, makes one wonder who the lucky person in attendance will be.”

All eyes followed the tall and upright figure that walked in, his deep-set eyes scanning over each attendee before finally resting his gaze on the front row and slowly making his way toward a seat there.

Everyone in attendance tonight were notable figures from Yong City. Su Ran was used to seeing such people and didn’t pay attention to the commotion behind her.

Not long after, someone took the seat beside her.

Su Ran, noticing this, gave a polite nod to the person out of courtesy. However, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a fiery red color.

Su Ran was taken aback momentarily as the handsome face of the man beside her came into view.

“You…”

Her starry eyes sparkled with surprise as she looked at Xiao Yize, elegantly dressed in a suit, the very image of a genteel man.

“I told you we would meet again soon.”

In a daze, she remembered his previous remark, “Until next time,” and Su Ran covertly tugged at the corner of her lips.

He spoke softly and then pushed the rose into Su Ran’s arms.

Before Su Ran could even refuse, an armful of fragrant roses was thrust upon her.

“What is this for?”

Su Ran felt embarrassed, receiving a bouquet of roses from a man in such a public setting. Even with her thick skin, she felt somewhat awkward.

“For you.”

Xiao Yize sat down gracefully, crossing his legs, his dark eyes deep as a still pond, gazing at her.

Su Ran felt her lips twitch in annoyance.

“President Xiao, I believe we aren’t very well-acquainted, are we?”

Xiao Yize glanced at her indifferently, his expression neutral.

“Is being the receiver of roses not suffice to denote acquaintance?”

Su Ran closed her eyes in resignation, and Xiao Yize continued cautiously,

“Did you receive the roses before? Did you like them?”

Su Ran gritted her teeth. He had the nerve to mention roses, after his presumptuous actions last time, she had to cajole Fu Qiyuan for a long time.

Already so preoccupied with memories at home, in such a setting, she couldn’t dare to imagine Fu Qiyuan’s reaction upon finding out.
