"I think I just came from this direction …" "But, I don't think I saw this painting just now …"

"Could it be here? But how come I don't have the slightest impression of anything happening here? "

Gu Tong muttered softly as she looked at the corridors on her left and right.

When she first went to the washroom, because the setting sun was really too beautiful, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. As a result, she didn't pay attention to her surroundings, and after coming out of the washroom, she couldn't find her way back …

"Am I destined to be looked down upon by them? From now on, you have to be like a child wherever you go.

Looking at the two unfamiliar corridors, Gu Tong was very worried. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it well this time and would never have the chance to act alone again.

She really didn't want to be a cripple. No matter what she did, there would always be people watching her.

"Miss, what's wrong? Is there anything I can do for you? "

Gu Tong was standing in front of the washroom door, looking left and right. She wasn't sure where she should go, but she suddenly heard a question coming from behind her.

It was as if she had discovered a bright lamp in the darkness of night and turned her head in excitement.

When she clearly saw the face of the person behind her, her excitement was immediately reduced by half.

It wasn't that she wanted to judge a person by his appearance, but rather the man standing behind her had such a vulgar look in his eyes that she couldn't help but shiver when she glanced at him.

She had originally planned to turn to the other party for help, but she immediately changed her reply. She politely and politely rejected, "There's no need. Thank you for your kind intentions, mister. I'll wait here for my friend. My friend will come out soon."

"I didn't help you in any way, so what's there to thank me for?" As the man spoke, he moved closer to Gu Tong. Just as Gu Tong was about to speak, the man continued, "Such a beautiful girl like you, standing at the door of the washroom and waiting for someone, you've really lost your identity …"

"How about this! "My room is near here. I'll take you to my room and sit down. When your friend comes out, I'll send you back. How about it?"

After he finished speaking, the man even thought himself to be very handsome as he gave Gu Tong a wink.

In reality, the man was not bad looking, and he was even a bit handsome. However, Gu Tong did not like his type, and since she had Si Yichen in her heart, she only felt disgust towards his invitation and behavior.

"Thank you for your kind intentions. I'll wait here for you."

Gu Tong rejected him expressionlessly, hoping that he would leave tactfully after seeing her like this.

However, she had underestimated the other party's interest in her. Hearing her say this, the man in front of her actually did not retreat and instead advanced, moving closer to her by a bit. He said hypocritically, "This place is indeed convenient, but it's too tiring to stand here."

With that, the man actually boldly reached out and grabbed Gu Tong's hand, "Little beauty, I'm not a bad person, I just want to help you. Don't resist me like this!"

As he spoke, the man slyly stroked Gu Tong's hands, again and again, making Gu Tong extremely disgusted.

Gu Tong had been trying to pull back her hand, but the man's strength was too great and she hadn't been able to succeed. When she saw that the man was too impudent, she became anxious and used her high heels to step on him!

Few men could withstand the power of the high heels, so the man immediately let go of Gu Tong.

However, just as Gu Tong was about to leave, the man stretched out both of his hands and shielded her.

"I thought you were a cute little princess, but I didn't expect you to be a sexy little wild cat …" The man smiled sinisterly at Gu Tong, "This is too much to my taste."

With that, the man charged towards Gu Tong, wanting to hug her tightly.

"Ai …" Ouch … Put... Let go...

Just as Gu Tong was getting ready to let him have a taste of her heels a little closer, she suddenly heard the man scream.

She immediately turned her head, only to see Xiang Yinghao standing silently behind her with a dark expression on his face.

As for why that man had cried out so miserably all of a sudden, it was because Xiang Yinghao had extended his hand out, forcefully twisting his wrist.

Facing Gu Tong's gaze, Xiang Yinghao nodded his head before viciously saying to the man, "If you still want this hand of yours, then immediately scram!"

"You … Who do you think you are... "Why …" The man was still drooling over Gu Tong's beauty. He still hadn't given up yet, but he had only shown off for a few seconds before he cried out once again, "Aiyo …" Ouch … Large... Brother … I was wrong, let go! I'll leave immediately! "

Xiang Yinghao did not linger any further. Hearing that the man had given in, he immediately let go.

The man immediately ran away without looking back.

"Thank you."

Although Gu Tong had some strange thoughts towards Xiang Yinghao, she still sincerely thanked him for saving her.

"You're welcome …" Xiang Yinghao said very casually, before asking with some concern, "Are you alright!? Are you hurt? "

Gu Tong shook her head, "I'm fine."

"Why are you here alone? And the Director? " Xiang Yinghao continued asking, seemingly really concerned about Gu Tong.

After that man's earlier commotion, Gu Tong had forgotten about what Si Yicheng had said for ten minutes. Now that she heard what Xiang Yinghao had said, she immediately became anxious, "Director Xiang, do you know where the banquet hall is? Is Yi Chen and Xiao Nuo still waiting for me? "

"Are you lost?" Xiang Yinghao asked rather surprised, before waiting for Gu Tong's reply, he pointed to the corridor on the right, "The banquet hall is right in front. I'll bring you there."

Thinking that Si Yicheng did not like Xiang Yinghao, Gu Tong wanted to reject him. However, she was worried that she would run into that man from before again, perhaps get lost again. Thus, in the end, she could only helplessly agree and follow Xiang Yinghao.

Not long later, with Xiang Yinghao's help, Gu Tong successfully arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

However, her eyes weren't looking for the figure of Si Yicheng or his promise. Instead, they were attracted by the necklace worn on a wife's neck.

"Madam, the necklace you're wearing is so beautiful. Can you tell me if it was made by that master?"

Due to her love and love for jewelry, Gu Tong had actually left Xiang Yinghao by her side, walking passionately to the rich lady's side to strike up a conversation.

Since she was born, she rarely spoke to anyone. The necklace was too attractive for her. She could tell with a glance that the necklace was the work of her favorite master, so she urgently wanted to confirm it with the necklace's owner.
