Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Amidst the crowd, their eyes met, and Gu Qimiao didn’t look away. Instead, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

Shen Yanchen merely glanced in her direction, and when someone beside him spoke, he turned his head to listen.

However, his mind was filled with the image of her looking surprised with something in her mouth, which made him smile involuntarily.

Gu Qimiao hastily chewed the cake in her mouth and started walking towards the crowd. Fang Shaobei followed leisurely behind her.

She completely ignored the people around her, constantly searching for his figure, raising herself on tiptoes with difficulty, only to see him arm in arm with another woman.

Her disappointment was instantly visible on her face, yet her eyes did not waver.

The woman had a tall figure, her chestnut curls styled to one side, exuding intellect and elegance. The V-neck red dress made her look quite sexy as she stood beside Shen Yanchen, without any sense of awkwardness...

Fang Shaobei stood behind Gu Qimiao, looking down at her. Her long eyelashes fluttered as her gaze remained fixed on the man in the center of the crowd, a slight look of disappointment on her face.

Some things were simply self-evident.

And Fang Shaobei chose to quietly watch the scene unfold. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Shen Yanchen walked alongside the woman, who was holding his arm. Though he didn’t return the gesture, the two seemed quite close.

It wasn’t until the host of the event appeared that the attention on Shen Yanchen started to wane.

From the host’s introduction, Gu Qimiao learned that the event host’s surname was Zhang and that he was already ninety years old. Despite being in a wheelchair, he seemed mentally sharp.

Today was his ninetieth birthday.

Gu Qimiao didn’t know much about figures in the business world, but she could tell that everyone revered the elderly man greatly, even Shen Yanchen showed utmost respect before him.

Once the host finished his speech, the banquet became more relaxed and open.

Shen Yanchen remained surrounded by people; the woman stayed by his side, while Gu Qimiao sat from afar, occasionally glancing over.

"Young Master Fang, Old Master Zhang wishes to see you."

Suddenly, a butler-like figure approached, nodding toward Fang Shaobei.

Fang Shaobei nodded and asked the distracted Gu Qimiao across from him, "Want to go together?"

Gu Qimiao quickly retracted her gaze upon hearing his question, and made an excuse, "No, wearing high heels is tiring, I’ll wait here for you."

Fang Shaobei knew she wasn’t good at handling these situations and didn’t insist. He also understood that her mind was entirely on that man now, so he simply said, "Alright, don’t wander off."

"Okay."

After Fang Shaobei left, Gu Qimiao stood up and took a few steps toward Shen Yanchen.

But she didn’t dare to approach him, instead, she stood by a champagne tower, pretending to get a drink, while watching Shen Yanchen.

Their eyes met again. Gu Qimiao guiltily wanted to look away, but he was even quicker, naturally chatting with the people around him, making Gu Qimiao wonder if he had really been looking at her earlier.

Suddenly, she saw a man in a black suit head towards Shen Yanchen. Gu Qimiao merely glanced at him.

Then she immediately hid behind the champagne tower.

How did Lu Jinxi also come?!

She mustn’t let him discover her!

Carefully peeking out, she saw him lead the woman in the red dress away from Shen Yanchen.

Gu Qimiao watched in confusion, wondering what the relationships between these people were.

As she hid and watched, she saw Lu Jinxi take the woman upstairs.

Once Lu Jinxi was out of sight, Gu Qimiao stepped out from behind the champagne tower and looked towards Shen Yanchen again, immediately stunned.

The people around him had all dispersed, and he was walking directly towards her...
