Chapter 90 Further Probing
After the family gathering, Gu Yanchuan's life seemed to become even busier, and Lin Chuyue keenly noticed that his attitude towards Luo Yurou had changed. Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan's proactive approach subtly altered Lin Chuyue's state of mind.
At a charity auction held by the Gu family, Luo Yurou reappeared, accompanied by Gu Yanchuan. She wore a red dress that accentuated her snow-white skin, and her every move exuded elegance.
Lin Chuyue watched the two walk into the venue from afar, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Miss Lin, it's been a long time." Luo Yurou walked over with a smile, her tone intimate and familiar.
Lin Chuyue looked up at her and smiled slightly: "Miss Yu Rou looks radiant today."
Luo Yurou lowered her head and smiled, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Gu Yanchuan not far away: "Yanchuan said today's auction is very meaningful, so I shamelessly came with him. Is Miss Lin also interested in charity?"
Lin Chuyue nodded calmly: "Charity deserves attention, and it's a good thing that Miss Yurou can participate in it."
The two exchanged pleasantries, but their words were barbed. Every word Luo Yurou uttered subtly linked her to Gu Yanchuan, as if asserting a delicate sense of presence. Lin Chuyue, however, maintained a composed demeanor, refusing to let Luo Yurou succeed.
Just as Lin Chuyue was getting tired of Luo Yurou's intentional and unintentional probing, a deep voice sounded in her ear: "What, you don't like this kind of occasion?"
Lin Chuyue turned her head and saw Li Zhanchuan. He was wearing a dark suit and stood to the side, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
"Why is President Li here?" Lin Chuyue asked, somewhat surprised.
Li Zhanchuan smiled slightly: "The company donated an item for auction, so naturally I had to come and take a look."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the auctioneer announced the appearance of an item for sale—a dazzling sapphire ring.
Lin Chuyue looked at the ring on the stage and frowned slightly: "President Li's company actually has such a rare gemstone?"
Li Zhanchuan looked at her with a half-smile: "Miss Lin, this is specially prepared for a special person."
Lin Chuyue understood the implication in his words, paused slightly, but did not respond.
The auction was in full swing, and Luo Yurou occasionally brought up topics to chat with Gu Yanchuan. Lin Chuyue sat in a corner, quietly observing the entire venue.
"Are you planning to just keep watching like this?" Li Zhanchuan's voice rang out again.
Lin Chuyue turned to look at him: "Otherwise what? What does President Li think I should do?"
Li Zhanchuan chuckled softly, moved closer to her, and said in a low voice, "Lin Chuyue, sometimes you are too calm, which makes people want to break through your disguise."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, but she still said calmly, "President Li is joking. I'm just used to observing."
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, his gaze deep: "Some people are not born to be bystanders. Lin Chuyue, you should know that your very existence can change many things."
Lin Chuyue pursed her lips slightly and did not answer, but she could feel Li Zhanchuan's gaze following her the whole time.
After the auction, Luo Yurou approached Lin Chuyue again, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry: "Miss Lin, I think President Li seems quite interested in you."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly: "Miss Yurou, are you mistaken? President Li is a businessman; he is interested in everyone."
Luo Yurou smiled and lowered her head, but her tone was slightly sharp: "But the way he looked at Miss Lin didn't seem like the kind of interest he would have in an ordinary person."
Lin Chuyue gently put down her wine glass and looked directly at Luo Yurou: "Since Miss Yurou cares so much about President Li, why don't you ask him yourself?"
Luo Yurou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook her head: "Miss Lin is indeed quick-witted, how could I possibly ask that question?"
The conversation between the two ended there. On the surface, things remained peaceful, but underneath they were at loggerheads.
On the other side, Gu Yanchuan frowned slightly as he watched Lin Chuyue and Luo Yurou interact. He wanted to approach Lin Chuyue, but found himself unconsciously turning his gaze to Luo Yurou.
"Young Master Gu, why aren't you saying anything?" Luo Yurou's voice pulled him back to reality.
Gu Yanchuan smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just remembered some things."
Luo Yurou tilted her head slightly, her gaze gentle: "Young Master Gu, you can tell me if there's anything you need. Maybe I can help."
Looking at her, Gu Yanchuan felt a peace and gentleness he had never experienced before. He wasn't sure if his feelings were real, but at this moment, Luo Yurou truly made him feel at ease.
