However, Gu Yuanzhou was a man who had seen much of the world, the surprise in his eyes quickly flickered and passed.

His face returning to calmness.

His gaze as profound as ever.

“President Gu! Sorry, I’m late!”

He nodded slightly, his gaze still lingering on me.

That look…l remember it.

It was how he looked at me when I first met him at age eighteen.

“Not late! Just on time!”

In the distance, a few women were pointing and gossiping about me. Though their voices were low, I could still hear a few words.

“Such a sexy figure!”

“Her arms, her waist are so thin, and her chest so large, it’s disproportionate; has she had plastic surgery?”

“Such a perky bottom, is it padded?”

I slightly curled up the corners of my lips.

Feigning deafness to their gossip, I just raised my chin slightly.

Song Xiaoyun was actually that kind of gem of a woman. She had a great figure, fair skin, and her eyes were extraordinarily beautiful, upturned in the corners. With just a bit of makeup, she looked seductive.

It’s just that Xiaoyun usually dressed too casually, always in hoodies and wide pants, completely hiding her figure.

On top of that, she usually wore thick black-rimmed glasses and failed to display any of her feminine beauty.

So as a first step, I took off those geeky glasses and replaced them with contact lenses.

Then, I picked a black silk bare-back waist cinching evening gown.

A figure-hugging outfit coupled with seductive makeup.

1 knew this was a woman’s winning tool in the workplace.

The more these women were jealous, the more I realized that I was at least halfway to success.

1 had caught not only the attention of other men, but it seemed that 1 had also won their notice.

Gu Yuanzhou seemed to hide it well.

Other than the initial shock when meeting me, at other times, even when he introduced me to others as he held my hand, he remained calm, his gaze decorous, not once allowing it to linger on my body like other men’s gazes did.

I asked Gu Yuanzhou,

“President Gu, do you think my outfit tonight is appropriate?”

Unperturbed, Gu Yuanzhou responded,

“Not quite right!’

“But doesn’t this make it easier to secure our business deal?”

Gu Yuanzhou did not respond.

When the dance started, successful gentlemen from time to time invited me to dance.

I mostly accepted these invitations as a courtesy.

A dance didn’t cost me anything.

Besides, all of these business elites present here could be of great help to the big venture that I plan to initiate in the future.

I remembered when I first graduated from college and even for a long time after marrying Gu Yuanzhou,

I was always reluctant to engage with these wealthy men.

But after a near death experience, I saw things in a different light.

A woman’s beauty, if used well, can serve as a stepping stone to advancement and a key to opening special doors.

Of course, it needs to be used appropriately without compromising one’s body and soul.

As I was spinning on the dance floor,

I caught sight of Gu Yuanzhou solo, sitting in a corner, drinking his red wine.

In reality, Gu Yuanzhou stood out from the crowd of men tonight. From time to time, women would come over and ask him to dance, but he always declined.

He seemed like a shadow, quietly savoring solitude.

Only occasionally, would he glance my way.

Our eyes met, and he was steely.

When he looked at me, there was no hint of desire in his eyes, instead, he seemed a bit bewildered.

After that dance, I approached him,

“President Gu, do me the honor of a dance!”

If I was dancing with other men, it was for some business purpose.

However, inviting him to dance held no significance.

At this point, I did not even understand why I wanted to dance just one dance with him.

Was it because of the resentment I felt inside?

Or was I trying to test his resolve?

Or maybe I wanted to compare, did I have a chance to replace Ye Mengyan in his heart?

I didn’t know, my mind was a little heated…

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t reject me.

He put down his teacup, stepping forward he gripped my waist.

Actually, there were many people on the dance floor, men and women all dancing, no one would notice us.

As the music started, lights flickered and I had a strange illusion, as if we had returned to the past.

That was when 1 first met Gu Yuanzhou.

It was also a dance party…

Back then he was nowhere near as composed as he is now, his charm radiating a hint of coolness.

Seeing him from a distance, one couldn’t help but want to conquer him.

After the first dance with him, I was enthralled.

It’s undeniable, even now, his allure still exists.

As I was reminiscing about the past, I neglected to notice Gu Yuanzhou’s expression.

When I came back to my senses, I found that we were already embraced.

The music at the time was quite ambiguous, and we were practically dancing cheek to cheek…

But halfway through the dance, he suddenly pushed me away and turned to leave.

I stood in place for ten seconds.

However, I was quickly led away by another gentleman.

After the dance party ended, I successfully received the assignment Gu Yuanzhou gave me.

It was a huge order.

After the negotiation, I still couldn’t find Gu Yuanzhou at the banquet.

Just as I was about to call him, my phone rang, it was a text message from Gu

Yuanzhou.

“I’m waiting for you outside!”

I didn’t chase after him immediately after receiving the message.

After all, he’s just my boss now, not my husband, I don’t have the responsibility or obligation to care about his feelings.

I stayed on the dance floor, taking the opportunity to get to know more elites.

Here, I vaguely heard some news about my Uncle Song Shixiong…

Apparently, my aunt is not in good health and Song Shixiongs company is facing a crisis.

Since I’ve reincarnated as Song Xiaoyun, although I often miss the good things my uncle and aunt have done for me.

But in the identity I have now, how can I see them?

However, since my aunt is seriously ill, I must find the time to visit her.

It was not until eleven o’clock when the banquet ended that 1 left through the main entrance.

As I exited through the revolving doors, a young nobleman was still pestering me, asking for my contact information.

I remembered the man in front of me, a wealthy playboy, though he had money, he had no skills, and was of no use to me.

I lightly refused him, “Sorry, my phone’s out of power, let’s talk next time!” He was persistent, “Where do you live, I’ll take you home!”

Just as I was about to extricate myself, a warm suit was draped over my shoulders.

Then, a strong arm wrapped me in an embrace.

“You don’t need to take her, she’s going home with me!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s statement held an undeniable authority.

The playboy naturally recognized Gu Yuanzhou, his expression changed instantly and he hastily apologized before leaving. “Thank you for helping me out of that situation! ”

I got into Gu Yuanzhou’s car.

Gu Yuanzhou gave me a deep look, “I’ve said before, dressing like this attracts a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

I smiled confidently, pulling out the order from my bag and handed it to Gu

Yuanzhou.

“President Gu, don’t you need someone who can make money? I’ve made it happen!

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t start the car, instead he picked up the contract, glanced at it, then looked at me.

“Seducing with beauty is the lowest strategy! Virtuous people won’t be moved

“That begs the question, President Gu, can you resist the temptation in the face of beauty like mine?”
