Gu Qingcheng attached great importance to this gala event. After all, those attending were not ordinary people, and it was extremely significant for Gu Qingcheng!

To broaden her market in Paris, Gu Qingcheng didn’t want her career to fail midway. A person’s appearance can reflect a woman’s value, so Gu Qingcheng hid in her room and spent a full three hours grooming herself.

When Gu Qingcheng, wearing a dark blue evening gown that embraced her graceful figure, stood in the room like a perfect mermaid, naturally charming, noble, and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful, Kreit, waiting in the living room, was stunned again and again.

Actually, after Lin Fan left, Gu Qingcheng didn’t leave the hotel. She had only said she was going to stay at Kreit’s house to annoy Lin Fan. Saying she didn’t love Lin Fan was impossible, but she didn’t know how to face Lin Fan or how to ease the tension between them!

Today, Gu Qingcheng initially planned to attend the gala alone, but Kreit came to pick her up early. Moreover, Gu Qingcheng didn’t know the way, so she had to accompany Kreit.

"Qingcheng, you’re simply too beautiful, like an angel from heaven," Kreit couldn’t help but stand up and remark, his blue eyes greedily fixed on Gu Qingcheng’s alluring figure.

"Thank you, Kreit," Gu Qingcheng said with a gentle smile.

"Oh~ Qingcheng, is there even a need for thanks between us? It would only make us distant," Kreit laughed heartily and approached Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng knew Kreit didn’t have good intentions towards her, so she hastily stepped back, wary and saying, "Kreit, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry to the gala. In Huaxia, being late is considered very impolite."

As she spoke, Gu Qingcheng opened the door and smiled, making a gesture of invitation to Kreit.

Seeing this, a shadow crossed the depths of Kreit’s eyes, but since Gu Qingcheng had issued a dismissive order, Kreit had no choice but to follow suit. He left the room with a cold smile.

Downstairs, Kreit’s vehicle was a luxurious Bentley, accompanied front and rear by two SUVs full of bodyguards. The scene was indeed grand, befitting the son of Paris’s second-richest merchant.

However, as Gu Qingcheng got into the car, Kreit was about to follow her in when a bodyguard suddenly stopped him.

"What’s the matter?" Kreit asked with a puzzled frown.

"Master, I feel this woman isn’t worth it," the bodyguard, who had a good personal relationship with Kreit, said thus.

Swoosh~

Kreit’s face instantly sank, and he said lightly, "Mai Ji, though we are friends, I won’t allow you to insult the woman I fancy."

"Master..."

The bodyguard named Mai Ji’s mouth twitched a few times, looking like he had something to say but hesitated. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Speak! What’s going on?" Kreit asked casually.

"Master, the woman you fancy... is not whole anymore," Mai Ji hesitated before saying this.

"How do you know?" Kreit’s expression deepened.

"Master, you should understand women well. Clearly, Miss Gu Qingcheng no longer meets the criteria for a complete woman," Mai Ji analyzed carefully.

"So what? If she’s incomplete, then it’s perfect. Once I’ve had enough, I can just kick her out," Kreit smirked indifferently.

"But... this woman is disloyal to you, Master!"

"What do you mean?"

"On her first day in Paris, she was still intact, but in just two days..." Mai Ji dared not finish the sentence, leaving room for Kreit to imagine.

Indeed, hearing this, Kreit’s face immediately darkened as he remembered Lin Fan’s warnings and their relationship. Even a fool could guess something was amiss between them, not to mention Kreit.

Swoosh~

Kreit’s eyes flashed with severity as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Such a damned woman, this must be the work of that kid Lin Fan. You find out where that kid is, capture him, beat him half to death first, and then bring him to see me. I want him to know the consequences of offending me, Kreit."

"Yes, Master."

Mai Ji nodded and turned to walk towards the SUV behind, immediately driving away.

Kreit coldly glanced at Gu Qingcheng’s enchanting figure, a greedy arc forming at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "You filthy woman, how dare you try to keep up appearances in front of me. Tonight, I’ll show you what a man’s might means."

...

As one of the three major global conglomerates, the gala hosted personally by Deke was indeed the epitome of luxury. High in front of the manor gate stood two rows of servants, bowing at ninety degrees to enthusiastically welcome each guest.

Outside the manor, there was a parking lot filled with various kinds of luxury vehicles, looking like a luxury car exhibition. Normally hard-to-see Rolls Royces, Maybachs, Bentleys, and other top-tier luxury sedans looked like ordinary cars here; any glance showed cars of these brands.

Kreit also parked his car in the lot, and a bodyguard personally opened the door for him and respectfully guided him out, the treatment akin to that of a high official touring in ancient Huaxia.

"Why park here?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.

"Deke Manor doesn’t allow outside vehicles inside; firstly, they worry about someone hiding weapons in the car, and secondly, it highlights Deke’s status and position in the world. Later, private cars from Deke Manor will pick us up," Kreit said, arrogantly holding his head high.

Upon hearing this, an uncontrollable gleam of fervor appeared in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. What constitutes aristocracy? This is true aristocracy, beyond just wealthy.

Buzz buzz buzz~

At this moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly came.

A black Mercedes brazenly parked right at the manor’s front gate, with the driver not getting out, the window rolled down, and a handsome face immediately appeared before Gu Qingcheng.

And the two guards, seeing the handsome man in the car, dared not obstruct him. They immediately used a scanner to check the vehicle and, without further ado, let it pass!

But when Gu Qingcheng saw this man’s handsome face, her expression instantly froze, momentarily lost for words!

"How... how could it be him? Why would he attend the gala?"

Gu Qingcheng’s face was full of shock, trembling as she spoke.
