War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 399: Hurry and Run!

Gu Yan was wearing a pink strapless, waist-cinching long dress tonight, the hem just grazing the floor, with a V-shaped semi-transparent tied back.

She had her long hair pinned up, with a few curls playfully falling on both sides of her cheeks, revealing a beautiful neck and collarbones.

The whole look was elegant and intellectual, noble and beautiful.

On either side of Gu Yan, there were three other women dressed in different styles of evening gowns, standing with Gu Yan, forming a stunning scene at the gala, attracting many gazes.

Tang Yuxiu also looked towards the door, and seeing Gu Yan like this, couldn’t help but be stunned.

He had long known that she was a pearl covered in dust, destined one day to shine with her most enchanting brilliance.

But when he saw this scene with his own eyes, his heart was still shocked.

Gu Yan, after five years, was completely different now.

Her beauty, from the inside out, was impossible to ignore, yet impossible to stare at directly.

Now she walked in from the entrance with head held high, chest out, with a presence and charisma that old Gu Yan didn’t possess.

Yet either way, she was the Gu Yan he loved the most.

But he had one question: why was Gu Yan here? Why hadn’t anyone told him that Gu Yan was also returning to attend this gala?

Tang Yuxiu’s gaze lightly drifted to the side, at Assistant You, who had just received the information and hadn’t managed to prepare mentally.

You Shuyang tilted his head to look and immediately felt immensely guilty, giving a guilty smile towards him.

He truly felt wronged, who knew his wife only thought of telling him at this time!

Either tell him earlier or don’t tell him at all.

Finding out at such a critical moment, he couldn’t pretend not to know, and yet the person who most needed to know didn’t know, wasn’t this deliberately setting him up?

You Shuyang silently shifted his gaze to Wang Qi, who was looking over at him, seeing his expression, and made a supportive gesture towards him loyally.

You Shuyang felt like crying without tears.

One side was his wife, the other his boss; in the end, it was him who got hurt!

How could he live like this?

As soon as Gu Yan entered the venue, she started looking for Wang Qi.

They agreed to meet her at the door, so why didn’t she see anyone?

Wang Qi patted the heads of two little ones, instructing them, "Stay here nicely, I’ll go to your mommy and bring her over later."

"Okay, aunty, you go ahead."

"Be good," Wang Qi smiled and walked towards Gu Yan.

Wang Qi greeted Gu Yan, who accused, "Didn’t you say you’d wait for me at the entrance?"

Wang Qi awkwardly smiled and replied, "Something came up. Isn’t it that I’m here as soon as you came in?"

Gu Yan lightly snorted.

Wang Qi called over a few employees from the music department, letting them properly entertain the three people Gu Yan brought.

Wang Qi and Gu Yan moved aside to talk.

Gu Yan dared not let her gaze wander, "Where’s Tang Yuxiu?"

Wang Qi awkwardly coughed, "He’s been here for a while, brace yourself."

"You untrustworthy one, I truly resent you."

"Please don’t, I’m forced as well, or why would I sell out? It’s purely that the harm value from the other side is too high, this small fry can’t withstand it. My husband is still his personal assistant, what if he abuses my husband?"

Gu Yan went silent for a moment, then asked, "Why do I feel like you’re making him sound like a psycho?"

Wang Qi, "..."

"You’re too naive, Tang Yuxiu is simply a psycho, how many normal people are as extraordinary as him!"

"How would I know."

Wang Qi, "..."

"Girl, you’re a mother now, if he dares do anything to you, you still have two kids as protection, but I have nothing."

"No need to act so pathetic. I won’t fall for it."

"Lying little vixen," Wang Qi smiled slyly. What Gu Yan said was clearly contradicting herself.

Gu Yan lightly snorted.

The atmosphere here was joyful and harmonious.

Meanwhile, on the other side, You Shuyang was still enduring invisible torment beside Tang Yuxiu.

You Shuyang’s eyes wandered guiltily before returning to Tang Yuxiu, saying, "President, as the host, shouldn’t you go greet the guests attending the gala?"

Young Master, please go to Gu Yan’s side, with Gu Yan there, your attention won’t be on us.

We beg you to go, spare me and my wife.

Tang Yuxiu coldly snorted, put down his wine glass, and walked towards Gu Yan.

You Shuyang silently wiped his sweat.

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian watched as Tang Yuxiu also went over, starting to discuss whether they should go over too instead of waiting for their mommy to come find them.

Wang Qi and Gu Yan were talking about something, looking quite happy, but Gu Yan suddenly noticed Tang Yuxiu walking over, immediately straightening up, energized like she’d had an injection of adrenaline.

Like facing a formidable enemy.

Damn, what she most feared came.

However, before he reached them, Tang Yuxiu was intercepted halfway.

A woman in Chanel’s latest black evening gown walked up to Tang Yuxiu, holding a glass of red wine.

The woman had red nails, matching the red wine in her glass and her black dress, exuding a seductive and charming allure.

"President Tang, I’m Mi Xuan, may I have a drink with you? My father and the Tang Family recently concluded a business deal, and I’m coincidentally one of the project leaders. We could take this opportunity to discuss the project; I have many questions I’d like to ask you."

Tang Yuxiu, "..."

With Mi Xuan speaking this way, Tang Yuxiu, no matter how headstrong or unbothered by others’ feelings, seemed to have no reason to refuse.

The gala’s very purpose was for the Tang Family to celebrate this year’s climbing achievements by inviting industry notables and partners of its various projects to participate.

Using this excuse to approach someone was incredibly challenging to refuse.

This was truly clever.

Others witnessing the scene generally had two reactions.

The first, how can this woman still hit on Tang Yuxiu when he already brought children, openly and obviously declaring he had someone? Didn’t this woman mind?

The second, how come they hadn’t thought of such a high-level approach before! And did they see Tang Yuxiu’s expression? Clearly he couldn’t refuse, they were too foolish, a total miscalculation.

However, some had a third thought.

Gu Yan: My god, you’ve finally heard my prayers, thank you for sending someone to save me. While Tang Yuxiu is being preoccupied, time to run!
