Chapter 744 - 747: The Last Birthday 4_1
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
He nodded, turned his head, and noticed a girl withdraw her gaze quickly. With a casual demeanor, Gu Shaocheng revealed a subtle smile on his lips.
"Mr. Gu."
Someone called him. Gu Shaocheng turned his head and saw the eldest son from a prominent arms-dealing family. He lifted his eyes slightly, to which Emperor Yan returned a polite smile in farewell and gratitude.
"Leaving so soon, not staying to enjoy more?"
"My grandfather isn’t feeling well so we won’t impose any further. We’re very grateful for using your shipping route for this delivery, it will not be forgotten."
Gu Shaocheng let out a polite laugh and offered, "I’ll see you out."
Just as he was about to turn back after escorting them to the door, he noticed a woman who should not be there. He furrowed his brows and casually turned his body around, but Wang Yuanyuan deliberately revealed her presence by calling out to him, "Sir."
Gu Shaocheng didn’t linger. Wang Yuanyuan hurriedly chased after him, but was blocked by two bodyguards. They were all familiar with each other, so they didn’t make it too difficult for her, "Yuanyuan, please leave. Don’t force us to act."
Wang Yuanyuan tiptoed in her high heels, and all she could see was Gu Shaocheng disappearing from sight. She glared maliciously at the two bodyguards who had stopped her, thought for a moment, refrained from throwing a tantrum, and instead took out a delicate box, "This is a birthday gift for sir, Feiyang, could you please deliver it for me?"
The bodyguard named Feiyang glanced at her but didn’t accept it, "Yuanyuan, it’s best if you stop coming to City E, there’s nothing good for you here."
Wang Yuanyuan sneered, "Well, I’m going to come anyway. What can anyone do to me?"
Why is it that she can’t enter, but that woman who was also abandoned by Gu Shaocheng could!?
She couldn’t accept this!
She was waiting to see that woman’s ultimate demise!

The banquet hall.
The female staff member finally found the birthday gift sent by Chenxing from a pile and respectfully handed it over, "Sir, this is from Miss Chenxing."
He responded indifferently, took the gift, and walked towards Chenxing.
In his line of sight, three women were sitting there whispering to each other, clearly up to no good. Chenxing, such a straight shooter, Gu Shaocheng thought, this can’t be anything good.
As the formidable man approached with his dark eyes slightly squinted, Huanhuan immediately stood up, kept his distance from Gu Shaocheng, and went to find Nan Baihao. As she left, she made all sorts of faces at Chenxing.
Perceptive Luo Xi caught Gu Shaocheng’s subtle glance, stood up willingly, and before leaving, patted Chenxing’s shoulder, as if signaling something...
"What have they been teaching you?" The first thing Gu Shaocheng asked after sitting down made Chenxing feel so guilty she did not dare to meet his eyes.
Chenxing shook her head, "Nothing at all?"
Her gaze fell on the gift in his hand. Her eyes flickered as she put her hand on his, shaking her head, "Could you wait until after the banquet to open it?"
"Is there something you don’t want others to see?"
"No, it’s not like that." Chenxing was a bit frantic. "Just look at it when you get home."
He raised an eyebrow. As a man not easily swayed by others, he casually crossed his legs and lightly pulled at the ribbon. The bow on the gift was instantly undone, "If you dare to bluff me just to scrounge a meal, I won’t spare you."
