Lu Chuanbai nodded. "Yeah."
His expression was cold, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
Gu Anrou just felt a pang in her heart. She clearly saw that Lu Chuanbai was quite happy before she came.
She walked over confidently. In her goose - yellow evening dress, standing beside Xu Qingqing in a purple one, they looked just like the main picture of the online PK.
Immediately, someone realized and started whispering.
"Hey, I saw an evening - dress PK online. It turns out it's the young lady from the Gu family and this other young lady. Now that I see them in person, I think the other young lady is even more outstanding."
"What PK? What are you talking about?"
"Just this one. Let me look for it for you."
By now, Gu Anrou had come over to Lu Chuanbai and the others. Xu Qingqing said to Lu Chuanbai, "You two have a good chat. Brother, let's go and stroll around elsewhere."
Xu Yan doted on her. "Okay."
He glanced at Gu Anrou. Just as she was about to put her arm around Lu Chuanbai, a flash of disgust quickly crossed Xu Yan's face.
He had originally thought Lu Chuanbai could be a good brother - in - law, but now it seemed he should look for someone else.
"An'an, come with Uncle." Xu Yan didn't forget to call to Xu An'an.
Xu An'an looked at Lu Chuanbai, then at Gu Anrou. She deliberately showed a disappointed expression and then came to Xu Yan's side.
Seeing Xu Qingqing leave, Gu Anrou's eyes were filled with pride. She thought Xu Qingqing was being sensible and backing out, and a victorious look appeared on her face.
"Brother Chuanbai, what were you just talking about? You seemed to be having so much fun."
Gu Anrou actively tried to find a topic and was about to put her arm around Lu Chuanbai.
But he slightly shifted his body and avoided her eyes. "It's nothing."
He looked like he didn't want to say more.
Gu Anrou pouted deliberately, looking aggrieved. She glanced at the people around and whispered, "Brother Chuanbai, look at these women. If I'm not by your side, they'll all try to seduce you."
"Brother Chuanbai, you've always hated trouble. How about dancing with me?"
At this moment, the music had started, and some people were dancing gracefully.
In the past, Lu Chuanbai would always dance with her at such times, and every time she would be very proud. It was her glorious moment, showing those women that they were far from Brother Chuanbai.
But Lu Chuanbai didn't say a word, as if silently rejecting her.
At this time, Young Master Ye walked up to Xu Qingqing, stretched out his arm, and made a "please" gesture. "This beautiful lady, I wonder if you're single. Would you like to dance with me?"
Lu Chuanbai, who originally didn't want to dance, saw Young Master Ye's action and without thinking, he took Xu Qingqing's arm. "I'm her date. Naturally, I'll dance the first dance with her."
Gu Anrou was stunned. "Brother Chuanbai."
But Lu Chuanbai completely ignored her.
Young Master Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this. His eyes were on Gu Anrou as he smiled wickedly. "Mr. Lu, everyone in the circle knows your relationship with Miss Gu. How come this year there's someone else by your side?"
Lu Chuanbai pretended not to understand the implication in Young Master Ye's words and just calmly explained, "I've always regarded Anrou as my younger sister. I wonder why Young Master Ye said that?"
Young Master Ye burst out laughing.
"Sister?" Gu Anrou murmured, her face contorted.
Young Master Ye continued to tease, "Everyone knows your relationship with Gu Anrou is not normal. For so many years, there's been no other woman by your side except Gu Anrou."
"We've all assumed that Gu Anrou is the future mistress of the Lu family in your heart. But now you say such things."
"Lu Chuanbai, you've always had a good reputation in our circle. But today, it seems to me that you're like a playboy."
He looked at Gu Anrou. "Do you also always regard Lu Chuanbai as your brother?"
Gu Anrou bit her lip. If she admitted in public that he always regarded her as a sister, then their relationship would never change in the future.
So she smiled and said, "Brother Chuanbai always focuses on his work. I think he hasn't considered getting married yet."
"After all, he's not as promiscuous as Young Master Ye, who has so many lovers."
"The reason Brother Chuanbai wants to dance with Miss Xu is just to prevent Young Master Ye from bothering Miss Xu."
Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Gu Anrou to be so good at talking at this moment.
These words not only explained why Lu Chuanbai invited her to dance but also implied that Lu Chuanbai's feelings for Gu Anrou were more than just brother - sister love.
It seemed as if Gu Anrou and Lu Chuanbai were a couple, and she was the intruder.
Xu Qingqing avoided Lu Chuanbai's approach and winked at Young Master Ye. "I'll pass on dancing. I have two kids with me and need to take good care of them. Both Young Master Ye and Young Master Lu should find someone else."
It was implied that she rejected both of their invitations.
Young Master Ye was slightly surprised. "Are these two kids both your own?"
Originally, he thought they were from someone else's family.
Xu Qingqing nodded. "Of course."
Her kids were her pride, and there was nothing she couldn't admit.
Xu An'an also looked up at Young Master Ye with her little face. "Hello, Uncle Ye. I'm Xu An'an, and this is my elder brother Xu Yiyi."
Young Master Ye didn't think he liked kids before, but now seeing chubby Xu An'an introducing herself to him with two dimples on her smiling face, he suddenly felt his heart being touched.
He stretched out his arms and said with a big smile, "Let Uncle Ye give you a hug?"
"Okay. Uncle Ye is so handsome. An'an just likes handsome uncles."
Xu An'an didn't know what politeness was at all and directly let Young Master Ye pick her up.
Although Young Master Ye was promiscuous, he was extremely good - looking with a pair of peach - blossom eyes. Just looking at someone made them feel his amorous looks.
Xu An'an liked handsome guys, so of course, she wouldn't refuse.
Lu Chuanbai watched Xu An'an being held by Young Master Ye and always had a feeling as if something that belonged to him had been taken away.
He lowered his voice and said to Xu Qingqing, "He's not a good person. He's always had a succession of girlfriends. Don't let An'an learn bad things from him."
But Xu Qingqing just chuckled. She looked at Young Master Ye. "Does Young Master Ye have a girlfriend?"
Young Master Ye immediately replied, "Of course not. With my conditions, it's not difficult for me to find a girlfriend. I just simply have an eye for beautiful women."
Lu Chuanbai's face turned slightly cold. "Slick - tongued."
But after looking at Young Master Lu for a few times, Xu Yiyi said, "I think Uncle Lu is safer and more reliable."
Lu Chuanbai's face immediately brightened up. This kid was really worthy of having been with him.
Just then, Old Master Yang walked out, followed by his grandson Yang Chang.
Yang Chang had dyed his hair yellow and looked a bit of a hooligan, but he was still very handsome.
