Chapter 184: Jealousy, Anger
Just as Gui Xiaoxu and Yu Xiangyu were observing each other, the guests began to discuss in low voices.
"Looks like the rumors are true," one of them commented.
Hearing this, one of the young ladies standing with Bai Li nudged her and teased, "Li Li, you are so lucky. Even CEO Gui is attracted by your beauty, talent, and charm."
Bai Li blushed slightly at her words and shyly retorted, "Don’t talk nonsense. Elder Brother Xiaoxu and I are just friends."
Hearing her calling Gui Xiaoxu so intimately, the other young ladies exchanged looks, then one of them said, "Li Li, you are already calling CEO Gui so intimately. Just tell us the truth. Are the two of you dating?"
Bai Li’s face turned redder at the teasing, causing the young ladies to chuckle and speculate on her relationship with Gui Xiaoxu.
Meanwhile, standing two steps behind Gui Xiaoxu, Ke Ting secretly rolled his eyes and thought, ’Boss, you are really shameless to say you are acquaintances with Miss Bai Hanyun when you two haven’t even exchanged a word before.’
While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, Gui Xiaoxu said expressionlessly, "I have never heard of any cooperation between the Yu Group and the Bai Group, so it’s quite surprising to see CEO Yu here tonight."
Yu Xiangyu chuckled when he heard this. With a slight smile on his lips, he calmly responded, "Maybe CEO Gui didn’t know, but I’m a close friend of the Bai family’s Second Young Lady, Miss Bai Hanyun."
"I came today to invite her to our house. My grandfather misses her very much, and said that if I don’t invite Miss Bai Hanyun to dinner, he will refuse to eat."
When Yu Xiangyu’s words fell, Gui Xiaoxu narrowed his eyes slightly, studying Yu Xiangyu’s expression.
Finding no trace of deceit in Yu Xiangyu’s calm demeanor, he replied, "So that’s it. Looks like we are both here for the same person."
