Su Xinyu stared absentmindedly at Gu Xinyan’s business card in his hand, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he remembered that Gu Xiangyi’s first-class seat number was 18.

His seat was 20, so it seemed there was still a chance to meet this Miss Gu who had been on his mind.

He mumbled to himself, even if you get married, I’ll still be relentlessly pursuing you.

Su Xinyu made up his mind and purposely walked past Gu Xiangyi after boarding the plane.

He still wore that confident and smug look, and his voice was gentle and magnetic, "Miss Gu, once we arrive in Yanjing, will I have the chance to invite you to dinner, including bringing your husband along?"

Hearing that Su Xinyu wanted to invite her to dinner, Gu Xiangyi was quite willing. Becoming friends with the young CEO of the leading toy enterprise would greatly benefit Xiangyi Group’s future development.

But hearing Su Xinyu ask her to bring her husband along, Gu Xiangyi was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but laugh, "You want to invite me to dinner and bring my husband along? Sorry, you might have misunderstood; I’m not married yet."

Su Xinyu’s previously listless eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed awkwardly, pointing at Xu Xiangbei, and said with embarrassment, "I misunderstood, I thought you two were..."

This time it was Xu Xiangbei’s turn to feel uneasy. With a playful grin, he interjected, "Dude, you didn’t misunderstand, she’s going to be my future wife, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes my wife."

Seeing a hint of anxiety on Xu Xiangbei’s face, Gu Xiangyi seemed to understand something—Xu Xiangbei was getting jealous, and hearing someone else inviting her to dinner made him anxious.

She adjusted her glasses, suppressing the joy in her heart. This feeling of being pursued by men felt quite nice, especially the unexpected surprise of discovering Xu Xiangbei’s tension over her.

A mischievous smile flashed in her eyes, and she didn’t immediately agree or refuse Su Xinyu but calmly smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation; let’s talk about it after we get off the plane, alright."

"Sure, I’ll wait for your response."

Su Xinyu went to his seat with a confident smile.

Gu Xiangyi smiled at Xu Xiangbei and said, "Doctor Xu, please don’t casually tell others that I’m your wife, even though we have an agreement. While I don’t deny your contributions to my sister standing up and walking, it was more about her determination and perseverance. Whether I become your wife in the future depends on fate, not an agreement. Love is about two people genuinely loving each other; it cannot be predetermined. Otherwise, even if I do become your wife, it won’t last if we don’t love each other."

Xu Xiangbei smiled awkwardly, "You’re right, I was just joking. I couldn’t stand that guy being so arrogant. Right, Ah Rong?"

Ah Rong, sitting to the side, looked at Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xiangyi in surprise, guessing there was some secret agreement between them. Seeing Xu Xiangbei suddenly ask her, she quickly made her stance clear.

Ah Rong said with a bit of apprehension, "I don’t know; I can’t meddle in your affairs. I’m just a bodyguard responsible for your safety; I know nothing about relationship matters."

Gu Xiangyi smiled at the passing flight attendant, "Miss, could I have a glass of grape wine, please? Thank you."

Xu Xiangbei added, "I’ll have a glass too, thank you."

The flight attendant glanced at Ah Rong, who shook her head, indicating she didn’t need anything.

The flight attendant replied with a friendly attitude, "Please wait a moment; I’ll bring it to you once the plane takes off."

The first-class seats were elegant and comfortable. By pressing a button, the seat could slowly recline and lift the footrest, turning into a cozy single bed.

They could also watch TV, listen to music, drink beverages, enjoy red wine, and have snacks.

Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xiangyi each held a glass of red wine and clinked glasses lightly.

Although the wine served on the plane wasn’t any high-end Bordeaux, it was a renowned domestic winery’s collection, with a rich color and sweet aroma.

Xu Xiangbei took a sip of the wine and said directly to Gu Xiangyi, "I don’t like that Su fellow; that guy has a crush on you."

Gu Xiangyi smiled, "President Su is quite nice, polite, and handsome, but don’t worry, I just want to be ordinary friends with him. After all, he is the young CEO of a major toy company, and being friends with him will help Xiangyi Group’s business."

Hearing this, Xu Xiangbei suspiciously asked, "So you’re going to accept his invitation and have dinner with him?"

Gu Xiangyi nodded with a smile, "Yes, can’t I accept his invitation?"

Xu Xiangbei showed a look of disdain, "Of course, you can’t accept. First, you’re my future wife, and I don’t like others inviting you; I’ll get jealous. Secondly, I dislike that guy."

Hearing the jealousy in Xu Xiangbei’s voice, Gu Xiangyi felt a bit excited and cast a scornful look at him, "You, always copying others and getting jealous. Do you lack confidence in yourself and in me? With a lady as excellent as myself, I’ve seen all kinds of wealthy young men; having a meal doesn’t mean they’d win me over that easily. Besides, whom I dine with is my freedom. Luckily, I’m not yet your wife. If I were, would you control every man I talk to?"

Although Ah Rong wore earphones and closed her eyes as if listening to music, she had turned the volume down to the lowest, curiously listening to Gu Xiangyi and Xu Xiangbei’s conversation.

Listening to their argument, she almost laughed out loud. Luckily, she held back, keeping a composed expression, so Xu Xiangbei didn’t notice she was eavesdropping.

Xu Xiangbei made a funny face at Gu Xiangyi, "Listen to me; after arriving in Yanjing, don’t accept his invitation. Be straightforward, and don’t have any ties with him, OK?"

Gu Xiangyi decisively replied, "No, I’ll decide my own matters, and you have no right to interfere. I insist on accepting his invitation."

Xu Xiangbei said disdainfully, "Of course I have the right to interfere. We are a team; I’m here in Yanjing for you, and we are a team. All actions should be unified, no individual actions."

Gu Xiangyi looked relaxed, "Didn’t he invite you as well? We can go together; that way, our actions are unified."

"I’m not going, and you’re not allowed to go either."

The two continued their endless argument, and Ah Rong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, which drew accusatory looks from both Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xiangyi.

Gu Xiangyi mockingly stated, "Miss Ah Rong, please take off your earphones. Eavesdropping on others’ conversations is shameful."

In this aspect, Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xiangyi’s opinions were remarkably aligned, with Xu Xiangbei also exclaiming, "Shameless, eavesdropping on our conversation."
