Black Lotus - Chap 37

On the day of the party, many reporters were outside Yifeng street, rushing to press the shutter button to take pictures of the feast that gathered big businessmen and celebrities.

Wen Niannan changed into carefully selected clothes, a light blue formal suit that made his skin look brighter, causing Aunt Lan to praise him for his beauty.

As soon as he got downstairs, he saw that there were already a lot of guests. They were all celebrities who often appeared on television. They talked to each other ignoring Wen Niannan who was standing in front of them.

Those people didn’t like him. In their eyes, Wen Niannan was just a sad flying bird that was turning into a phoenix. What’s more, even Gu Yansheng didn’t care about him, it was useless to fawn his husband.

Wen Niannan felt a little out of place, so he decided to go upstairs. When he turned around, he suddenly bumped into someone.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean it.” Wen Niannan quickly apologized.

“Yuan Feng? When did you come back?”

“I came back a few days ago to attend Sheng’s birthday party. I also came back to do some things.”

Seeing Wen Niannan’s face a little pale, Zhou Yuanfeng asked: “Are you all right?

“I’m a little sick, I wanted to go up to take a rest”. It wasn’t an excuse, he was telling the truth. His stomach pain had become worse in the past two days.

“Don’t worry, go, I’ll stay here if something happens.”

There were more and more people at the banquet, it quickly became a business meeting, where every interaction was for their own purposes.

Zhou Yuanfeng was standing in a corner with a glass of wine, observing the movements of those people, he suddenly looked to one side, seeing two men who were stood in one corner like him not having any interaction.

There was a pair of gold-framed glasses on the tall nose of that man, and his gentle temperament looked particularly noticeable. Some would say that he noticed his gaze, so the man turned his head looking at him.

Both of them stared at each other for a moment, then he raised his glass nodding at him.

There was a noise from the door, and the guests looked towards the door expecting something. Zhou Yuanfeng knew that it was the protagonist of the party.

Sure enough, he saw Gu Yansheng in black formal attire entering the room, surrounded by the crowd, his elegant and gorgeous face would always stand out from common people even a thousand miles away.

At that moment when the protagonist arrived, the party had officially begun.

After a while, Gu Yansheng had many people around him, they wanted to offer a toast on his behalf. He took the wine from a friend he knew but Gu Yansheng didn’t want to drink it. Naturally, others didn’t dare to say anything, so they left after the toast.

Zhou Yuanfeng picked up a glass of wine approaching him, he said: “Happy birthday, now you’re one year older.”

Gu Yansheng took the drink taking a sip, he glared at him saying: “Naive.”

Seeing Gu Yansheng’s eyes traveling around the crowd looking for someone, Zhou Yuanfeng asked: “Are you looking for Niannan?”

“What?”

“I asked if you were looking for your husband?” Zhou Yuanfeng asked, staring at the person in front of him.

“Yes, as a host, he didn’t even bother to attend the guests. He’s becoming more and more arrogant!”

Zhou Yuanfeng moved the glass in circles with his hand slowly saying: “He wasn’t feeling well, he went to his room to rest.”

Gu Yansheng seethed: “Is he sick again. Is he now a porcelain doll? He’s always feeling sick, he’s just pretending to be like that to put a show.”

Zhou Yuanfeng denied with his head slightly, when he was about to say something, he saw Wen Niannan coming down the stairs.

“The person you’re looking for is here, just in time for the two of you to make a toast together.” Zhou Yuanfeng turned, leaving him.
