Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 317 - 318 Uncle Is Angry
Banxia listened and hurriedly explained, "I’m not his girlfriend, we’re just friends."
"You’re not now, but you will be. I understand." The proprietress wore a knowing expression and smiled.
Banxia let out an awkward chuckle, turned her head, and met Leng Weichen’s deep, unreadable eyes.
"Can we leave now?" Banxia lowered her head, skillfully avoiding his burning gaze, and asked indifferently.
"Let’s go!" Leng Weichen was genuinely taken aback by the beauty of the woman before him; indeed, this color suited her perfectly.
The venue of the evening party was held in the largest hall of a seven-star hotel.
Gu Qianxi was also invited to attend today.
Recently, he had been in particularly low spirits and needed a chance to unwind.
Just as he stepped inside, he immediately ran into a few acquaintances, standing together exchanging greetings and small talk.
Gu Qianxi reached out and took a glass of wine. He was about to drink when suddenly...
A sound of a wine glass hitting the ground came from behind him.
Soon after, the hall manager rushed over angrily to scold someone: "What’s going on? Guests have already started arriving, yet you’re still fumbling around? I shouldn’t have hired you temp staff!"
"I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to, I just slipped accidentally..."
A clear and elegant voice of a young girl rang out, filled with nervousness and fear. Evidently, this was her first mistake and she was unaccustomed to being reprimanded, leaving her flustered.
Holding the wine glass, Gu Qianxi had been sipping leisurely, but upon hearing the voice, he suddenly turned around sharply.
A girl dressed in a black server’s uniform was squatting on the ground awkwardly picking up the shattered wine glass pieces.
Gu Qianxi’s dark, intense gaze froze briefly. Without hesitation, he strode over and firmly pulled the girl, who was still crouched on the floor, up with a sudden grip.
"Keke..." His voice was tinged with disbelief.
Tong Keke gasped in shock; when she lifted her eyes abruptly, they met a pair of irate yet smoldering eyes. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The hall manager saw Tong Keke being grabbed by a tall man and assumed she had offended another distinguished guest. Rushing over in a panic, he tried to mediate: "Sir, I’m so sorry, has she disturbed you in any way?"
"Get out of the way!" Gu Qianxi’s voice carried an angry edge as he coldly barked at the manager.
Tong Keke quickly responded to the manager, "I’m sorry, I’ve met him before... there’s some history between us..."
Upon hearing this, the hall manager’s expression grew even more awkward. He could only carefully force a smile and say, "Sir, please let her go for now. The guests are about to arrive; this scene is not ideal."
Gu Qianxi didn’t want to ruin the mood of the banquet either, especially since the Huo Family was hosting.
Without another word, he dragged Tong Keke away, heading straight to a quieter corner.
"Gu Qianxi... Dean Gu, let go of me!" Tong Keke was too stunned to think straight, unsure how to address him.
Gu Qianxi quickened his pace. His handsome face darkened so intensely it seemed ready to unleash a storm.
A nearby door led to an open-air garden, lit warmly by golden lights. Rare, beautiful flowers lined the space, their delicate fragrance filling the air.
In such an idyllic atmosphere, the man—a mix of exasperation and fury—flung the girl unceremoniously onto a couch nearby. He followed almost instantly, leaning down with his athletic figure. With both arms rested on the couch’s armrests, his gaze locked onto the now composed girl with unrelenting anger.
"Tong Keke, you dare to come to a place like this to work as a server? Are you out of your mind?" Gu Qianxi’s chest burned with rage; the thought of her crouched on the floor picking up dangerous shards of glass made his heart constrict painfully.
