The touch from the sensitive area was very clear that the two could not ignore it.

Gu Shen didn’t speak. The fingers that were pinching her earlobe tightened slightly.

Yan Xi said softly, “You’re hurting me.”

Gu Shen loosened his grip, but his expression darkened. He said unhappily, “Gu Er, is this how you drive a car?”

As Gu Shen’s chauffeur, the most basic requirement was stability. Even if they were driving on a stone road, it was not supposed to be a bumpy ride.

He quickly explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu. A little kid suddenly ran out from the corner just now. It was my fault.”

After hearing that, Gu Shen did not blame him.

“Done,” he said as he put on the earring for her.

“Thank you.” Yan Xi touched her red ears and tried to cover it up. “It’s a little hot in the car.”

…

When Gu Er parked the car outside the Gu family villa, he got out of the car and took out Gu Shen’s wheelchair from the trunk.

Then, he opened the car door and carefully helped Gu Shen into the wheelchair.

Yan Xi wanted to push the wheelchair but was stopped by Gu Er.

“Madam, it’s not convenient for you to push the wheelchair in that dress. Let me do it.”

However, the real reason Gu Er did not want her to push the wheelchair was that he didn’t trust her.

It was no wonder that she was not trusted. The first time the Host was allowed to push Gu Shen, she left him on the road, and it took an hour before the bodyguards realized that something was wrong and rushed over to find him.

Since then, the Gu family’s servants and bodyguards had been stopping Yan Xi from touching the wheelchair.

Now she had to pay for everything the Host did wrong in the past.

Yan Xi took her hand back in embarrassment. “Be careful then.”

“Don’t worry, Madam.”

The banquet was held in the hall on the first floor and some guests had already arrived.

They were wearing high-end gowns and holding champagne elegantly. However, when they saw Gu Shen, there was obvious disdain on their faces.

When Luo Yun and Yan Dong saw the two of them, they walked over unhurriedly. Their expressions were cold, unlike how they treated others.

“Xi, you’re finally back.” Luo Yun pretended to be affectionate. “Your father has always missed you. And Gu Shen, you’re really a talent. You should have settled a few big business deals recently, right? Even this inexperienced daughter of mine thinks of you as some powerful person!”

As soon as Luo Yun opened her mouth, Yan Xi shuddered. Her hands and feet went limp, and the fear in her heart surged.

She frowned, her face growing paler.

Gu Shen’s gaze swept past the two of them. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Xi spoke before him. “Indeed. My husband is very impressive. Unlike my father, who is old and can only rely on these boring banquets to make himself look important.”

What Yan Dong valued the most was how people looked at him. Yan Xi’s public ridicule made his face change immediately. He was about to talk back when Gu Er suddenly handed him a wooden box.

Gu Shen explained calmly, “This is the gift I prepared for you, Wu Tao-Tzu’s real work, Yangzhou Spring Levee.”

“Wu Tao-Tzu!” Yan Dong’s eyes lit up. He ignored Yan Xi and opened the painting in front of everyone. After confirming that it was real, he instantly became enthusiastic.

“My son-in-law is truly something. You’re actually able to get Wu Tao-Tzu’s authentic work.”

Yan Dong wasn’t a cultured person, but he pretended to be cultured. He collected some famous calligraphies and paintings to show people that he was cultured. The thing that Gu Shen gave him was to his liking.

“I found it accidentally.”

Yan Dong hurriedly asked the servant to take care of the item and asked warmly, “How have you been doing recently?”

“Not too bad.”

“I got some wild ginseng a few days ago.. I’ll send it to your father later.”
