Gu Qichen was obviously making excuses for Xia Yangyang.
Liu Ruyan tactfully added, "Of course, today is Yangyang's birthday. We're hosting this birthday banquet just to make her happy."
Several senior members of the Gu family were also there.
Xia Yangyang greeted each one of them.
Xia Yangyang saw Gu Zhaohan once more.
He stood behind Gu Mingzhu, silent and still, like an invisible man.
Xia Yangyang's heart unexpectedly felt as if it had been squeezed.
The word "Xiao Han likes you" that Gu Qi Chen had said suddenly echoed in her mind.
Xia Yangyang unconsciously shook her head.
No way!
Definitely impossible!
It's merely Gu Qi Chen overthinking!
Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan casually exchanged greetings.
Then they both dispersed.
Today's birthday banquet was unlike the usual ones.
It was more like a half-dinner party.
The banquet hall had a variety of buffet-style gourmet dishes.
Champagne towers were everywhere.
