The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 153 - Mocking Her-Gu Xiaoai 2

For no apparent reason, Gu Xiaoai didn’t have the courage to meet Liang Nuannuan’s gaze and walked past her…

“Are you Gu Xiaoai?”

As they brushed past each other, Liang Nuannuan’s deliberately lowered voice reached her ears, followed by a mocking addition, “Is it grand to be a rich man’s woman?”

Gu Xiaoai’s face instantly turned pale.

Before she could respond, Liang Nuannuan had gracefully entered the venue…

Liang Nuannuan’s voice was so low that Li Juefeng didn’t hear it, but Gu Xiaoai heard every clear word, each one piercing her heart like the tip of a knife…

Painful… to the point of bleeding.

Guan Nana calling her a slut to her face was nothing compared to this single sentence from Liang Nuannuan.

Because of the aristocratic aura around Liang Nuannuan… because of the vast difference between them… because Liang Nuannuan had Chu Shixiu, and she… was just a dirty mistress.

Her hands clenched involuntarily.

Liang Nuannuan…

Since Liang Nuannuan disdained her, there was no need for Gu Xiaoai to save face for her, right?

She knew how to write the report about Chu Shixiu and Liang Nuannuan…

…

The dinner was in the style of a Chinese banquet, with Gu Xiaoai accompanying Li Juefeng to their seats at the main round table nearest the stage, surrounded by ten individuals from the upper echelons of society-far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The music of ancient zithers opened the evening… dancers in holy white skirts performed a sign language dance on stage.

“Try this.” Li Juefeng deftly picked the meat out of a crab, enough to fill two palms, and placed it on her plate.

His tone was as if he was teasing his pet, indulging it with a bite to eat.

Li Juefeng’s fingers were long and nimble, and he used the crab-picking tools with skilled ease, his actions subtly suave.

Was he actually picking crab meat for her to eat?

The sun must have risen from the west?

Gu Xiaoai didn’t voice her surprise; instead, she silently bowed her head and ate the crab meat.

An elderly man who saw this chuckled appreciatively, “Mr. Li is truly a gentleman.”

Gentleman?!

Gentleman?

“Pfft… cough cough…” Gu Xiaoai spit the crab meat back onto her plate and began coughing violently.

This gentleman actually saw a gentlemanly demeanor in Li Juefeng… How ridiculous, how could he possibly see that?

Li Juefeng glared at her disdainfully, then the next second, he forcefully pulled her into his arms and roughly wiped her face with a napkin from the table, whispering a warning in her ear, audible only to the two of them.
