Chapter 445: Third Miss Song

Since they were attending such a banquet, they had only eaten some snacks before coming.

However, this banquet should last for a while. If they didn’t eat after that, they would definitely still be hungry, although most people rarely ate for the sake of etiquette.

However, this rule wasn’t important to Chu An. In any case, it wasn’t as important as Gu Xiao.

Moreover, didn’t the host prepare food for them to eat? How could there be so many rules about eating?

Gu Xiao scanned her surroundings and finally retracted her gaze.

Although she was already used to everyone’s gazes on her, this faint malice and speculation still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn’t remove Chu An’s hand from her waist and nodded at Chu An’s actions.

“Alright, let’s find a corner to eat something first!”

Seeing that Gu Xiao had agreed, Chu An looked up and swept his gaze across the entire venue. Then, he brought Gu Xiao to a place with fewer people.

After letting Gu Xiao sit down, he picked up a plate and casually took some of Gu Xiao’s favorite food before returning to sit beside Gu Xiao.

He passed the plate to Gu Xiao. “Try it and see if it suits your taste.”

Gu Xiao picked up a piece of food and placed it in her mouth. After chewing carefully for a while, she nodded at Chu An.

“It tastes good.” As she spoke, she picked up another piece of food and handed it to Chu An. “Try it too.”

Chu An didn’t mind that the chopsticks had already been used by Gu Xiao. He followed Gu Xiao’s actions and ate the food. Perhaps it was because the food was personally fed to him by Gu Xiao, but he felt that the taste of this food was indeed not bad.

When the people around them, who had been sizing up Gu Xiao and Chu An, saw their interaction, their gazes at the two of them instantly burned.

After sensing that their gazes might attract Gu Xiao and Chu An’s attention, these people hurriedly shifted their gazes away from Gu Xiao and Chu An.

After Gu Xiao finished the food Chu An had prepared for her and confirmed that no one was approaching, she whispered into Chu An’s ear, “How much do you know about the Song family?”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An’s eyes flashed, and he glanced at Gu Xiao with an unreadable expression.

“I don’t know much. I only know that the Song family has a good relationship with our Chu family and we have more collaborations in business.” He pursed his lips. “Xiaoxiao, do you think there’s something wrong?”

When Gu Xiao heard this, a trace of conflict appeared on her face.

Under Chu An’s questioning gaze, she still revealed her previous guess. “I think that Song Mu, the head of the Song family, seems to be a little, a little unfriendly to me.”

Song Mu had looked at her as if she had snatched something very important from him. There was a hint of wariness in his malice towards her.

However, she had nothing to do with the Song family. The Song family and the Ji family were not close, and the Song family did not seem to have any businesses in the entertainment industry. She should not have done anything that would have offended Song Mu.

After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An also looked a little puzzled.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and an awkward expression appeared on his face.

Gu Xiao naturally didn’t miss the expression on Chu An’s face. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu An inquisitively.

“It seems that you should know what happened?”

Chu An hesitated, and the fingers by his side moved uneasily. He had the intention to not say it, but under Gu Xiao’s questioning, he sighed and still voiced his guess.

“Before 1 recovered from my illness but before 1 met you, Master Song had mentioned that he hoped that 1 could get engaged to the third daughter of the Song family. After that, we could nurture our relationship so the Song family and the Chu family could be closer.”

After Chu An finished speaking, he saw that Gu Xiao’s gaze was becoming more and more intriguing, so he hurriedly spoke again.

“But when 1 found out about this, 1 immediately rejected it! Dad and Mom also placed more importance on my own opinions, so the engagement back then was completely gone. 1 haven’t even met the third daughter of the Song family!”

Although he did not know if Gu Xiao was in this world, he could not forget Gu Xiao in his heart. Naturally, he would not agree to be with other girls, even if it was such an emotionless engagement.

After Mr Chu and Mrs Chu rejected Song Mu for him, whenever he heard that the third daughter of the Song family was around, he would usually not attend the banquet. He was also quite desperate to avoid arousing suspicion to this extent..
