I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Discussions arose again.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"But judging from her demeanor, she's definitely not simple."

"How could someone chosen by this short-haired woman be bad?"

"Lin Jinyu is in danger."

Lin Jinyu sat there, looking at the woman.

I feel a little irritable.

Choosing people?

Who to choose?

She glanced around at the people in her surroundings.

They were all young men and women.

Some wore masks, some didn't.

Some I knew, some I didn't.

Those rich kids involved in organized crime stood tall and proud.

I want to be chosen by her.

Being able to play cards for the eldest daughter of the Lin family is a source of great pride.

Several other players who were usually good at cards were also eager to try.

"Pick me! Pick me!"

"Miss Lin, my card skills are top-notch!"

"I've played professional matches in Macau!"

Lin Jinyu ignored them.

She continued scanning.

suddenly.

Her gaze settled in one direction.

On the edge of the crowd.

The entrance to the terrace.

A young man wearing a black suit.

Wearing a half-face mask, only the lower half of the face is visible.

But that figure, that posture, that…

Lin Jinyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

My heart started pounding.

It's him?

Is it Gu Yan?

She looked closely.

The boy's figure was exactly the same as Gu Yan's.

That standing posture was exactly the same as Gu Yan's.

The lower half of her face that was exposed had the same curve of her chin as Gu Yan's.

but……

How is that possible?

Isn't Gu Yan at the Pei family's house?

How could the Pei family possibly let him out?

Didn't the Pei family hide him away?

Her mind was racing.

Reason told her that this couldn't possibly be Gu Yan.

The Pei family wouldn't be that stupid.

Pei Yuran wouldn't be that stupid.

But her emotions told her otherwise.

it's him.

It must be him.

She stared at the boy.

She noticed that the boy was also looking at her.

then.

The boy moved.

He took a step back.

I want to leave.

Lin Jinyu's heart tightened.

I can't worry about that anymore.

She suddenly stood up.

Reach out.

Pointing in that direction.

"I choose him!"

The sound was very loud.

The entire banquet hall heard it.

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.

Look towards the edge of the crowd.

I looked at the boy in the black suit.

Gu Yan stood there.

My whole body froze.

There was only one thought in my mind.

I rely on.

Standing so far away.

Every nook and cranny.

How could she still see him?

He wanted to run away.

But there were too many people around.

It was completely blocked.

He can't escape.

Pei Yuran stood next to him.

She held his hand.

Those icy blue eyes stared coldly at Lin Jinyu.

People around were talking about it.

"Who is that man?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"Didn't you come in with Pei Yuran just now?"

"Yes, Pei Yuran held his hand the whole time."

Why did Lin Jinyu choose him?

"Does she know him?"

"I don't know, but look at her eyes, she definitely knows her."

"There's something wrong with this guy."

"Someone who can be led by Pei Yuran and watched over by Lin Jinyu, can they be an ordinary person?"

Gu Yan felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to these comments.

He wanted to refuse.

But Lin Jinyu has already overcome it.

She walked very fast.

The golden hem of her skirt trailed a streak of light on the ground.

Those golden eyes were fixed on him.

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

then.

She stopped in front of him.

Just look at him.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Gu Yan felt uneasy under her gaze.

He opened his mouth.

What do you want to say?

But he couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Jinyu is now standing in front of Gu Yan.

Very close.

Gu Yan was so close that she could see the curve of her eyelashes.

I was so close I could feel her familiar aura.

Golden eyes stared at him.

Without blinking.

Gu Yan was numb.

It's really numb.

He shouldn't have agreed.

Seeing Lin Jinyu's aggrieved look just now, he softened.

I agreed on a whim.

Now that he's calmed down, he realizes how stupid he's been.

Play cards for her?

Isn't that like walking into the line of fire?

What if she suddenly recognizes him while they're fighting?

What if he reveals his true colors while they're fighting?

just in case……

He dared not think any further.

But it was too late.

Lin Jinyu stood right in front of him.

Those golden eyes were like two small flames.

The burning sensation made him panic.

Lin Jinyu was also looking at him.

so similar.

That figure, that posture, that lower half of the face.

Exactly the same as Gu Yan.

A voice inside her was calling out.

it's him!

it's him!

Grab him!

But there is another voice.

What if it isn't?

What if they just look alike?

How could the Pei family possibly let him out?

How could Pei Yuran possibly bring him out?

What if I mistakenly admit it?

She stared into Gu Yan's eyes.

I wanted to see something in those eyes.

But Gu Yan was wearing a mask.

Only the lower half of his face was visible.

She can't see anything.

All that could be seen were her slightly pursed lips.

It's exactly the same as I remember.

People around were talking about it.

Although the sound was soft, it still reached her ears.

"Who is this man? Why is Lin Jinyu staring at him like that?"

"I don't know, but look at her eyes, she definitely knows her."

"Could it be the person she's looking for?"

"Possibly. Wasn't she saying she'd been looking for someone?"

"Wasn't that guy with Pei Yuran?"

"Yes, Pei Yuran was still holding his hand."

"Holy crap, does that mean..."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could that be?"

"Why not? Could someone who can make Pei Yuran hold hands be an ordinary person?"

"Could someone who can attract Lin Jinyu's attention like this be an ordinary person?"

"Just who is this man?"

Gu Yan felt her scalp tingle even more as she listened to these comments.

He wanted to back away.

But there was a crowd behind him.

It cannot be refunded.

He wanted to speak.

But I don't know what to say.

Just then.

A hand reached out.

They stood in front of him.

Pei Yuran.

She stood in front of Gu Yan, blocking Lin Jinyu's view.

Those icy blue eyes stared coldly at Lin Jinyu.

He spoke up.

I disagree.

The voice was cold.

It was as cold as ice.

Lin Jinyu looked at her.

Look into her eyes.

Those eyes that were always calm and still.

At this moment, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

A surge of joy suddenly welled up in Lin Jinyu's heart.

That joy came out of nowhere.

Yet it feels incredibly real.

That silly woman.

The person she cares about so much.

Besides Gu Yan, who else is there?

She was almost 99% sure.

But there's still one percent left.

That one percent made her suppress her impulse.

They didn't pounce on him directly.

Because she has an ironclad rule in her heart.

The only man of the opposite sex who could get close to her was Gu Yan.

Only Gu Yan could make her feel better.

She took a deep breath.

Looking at Pei Yuran.

"Miss Pei."

"What if I insist on having him?"

Pei Yuran didn't say anything.

Just look at her.

Those icy blue eyes grew colder and colder.

The surrounding temperature began to drop.

Tiny ice crystals floated in the air.

Lin Jinyu was not to be outdone.

Golden sparks appeared all around him.

The two faced off.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

The people around them sensed something was wrong.

They all retreated.
