“Qianqian, I still have some things to do, so I’ll have to leave for now. I’ll contact you again.”
Although she felt very sorry for Gu Mingzhe, Aiden was here now, and as her suitor, he could arbitrarily gift Zhong Nuannuan a chain of beads worth a 100 million. This was a shock that Zhong Qianqian never could have imagined would happen in her life.
Therefore, when she faced Gu Mingzhe, Zhong Qianqian only nodded mechanically, and answered, “Okay, sure, take care Brother Mingzhe.” After that, she fixed her gaze onto Aiden.
Gu Mingzhe was not asked to stay, nor treated specially, and he became speechless.
He took another glance at Zhong Kuijun and Jiang Shuwan, but in the end, Gu Mingzhe quietly withdrew from the banquet without alarming anyone else.
After he exited the banquet hall and entered his car, Gu Mingzhe punched his genuine car leather seat so suddenly that the driving assistant in front of him flinched sideways in shock.
The assistant was speechless when he saw his boss’ sullen expression. As a trusted aide of the crown prince, the assistant could not help but complain. “Young Master, this Zhong Qianqian is much more mediocre compared to the fine ladies in Emperor District—you could pick one at random, and your choice would undoubtedly be better than her. Why do you have to waste so much time and money on a woman like this? She’s so shameless!”
He could not understand. She was just the daughter of a newly rich family in Jiang District, and was not even like Zhong Nuannuan, who could make someone’s blood pressure shoot up at first sight. What was it that made his Young Master pay so much attention to her?
“You know nothing!” Gu Mingzhe’s face was gloomy, and he was in an extremely bad mood.
Zhong Qianqian must be his! She could only be his!
However, in the face of such an insurmountable mountain in the form of Aiden, where should he start?
Although the assistant could not understand why Gu Mingzhe was so obsessed with Zhong Qianqian, he saw the determination in his eyes.
Hence, he immediately changed his tone. “Yes, yes, yes! Anyone that Young Master fancies must be anything but ordinary. Young Master, don’t be discouraged, although Aiden is a formidable rival, if you really want to get Zhong Qianqian and marry her, the battle is still very much undecided.
“Oh? Why do you say so?” At that moment, Gu Mingzhe already felt weak, but he immediately perked up after he heard his assistant’s words.
“Young Master, when you were humiliated by Aiden earlier, I immediately searched for Aiden’s information online. This man is a playboy, and he is surrounded by countless women. Thus, I suspect that he’s just fooling around with Zhong Qianqian.
“Therefore Young Master, you can create trouble for Zhong Qianqian by provoking the women around Aiden, then appear like Prince Charming to give her a helping hand when she’s being bullied. At the same time, you can spend more time accompanying her compared to Aiden… These are not from my own words, but all women are sentimental. As the days go by, unless she’s a fool, it’s impossible for her not to pick you, Young Master.”
Gu Mingzhe’s eyes lit up.
At Emperor District, his reputation for being virtuous and self-respecting was well-known. He could maintain his virtue despite having so many women around him, which meant that his reputation was a thousand times better than Aiden’s.
As long as Zhong Qianqian was not the kind of fool who could give up the chance of being an already-rich wife for a little more money, his odds of winning were actually very large.
Zhong Qianqian was definitely his!
She could only be his!
However, when he suddenly thought of the figure he caught a glimpse of at the banquet, Gu Mingzhe’s heart could not help but start pounding inexplicably.
How could a girl look so beautiful?
Even before the age of 18, she was already able to capture people’s hearts and souls. Once she truly bloomed, how many countries and cities would fall for her beauty?
It was such a pity… She was not her…
