Chapter 85 Fiancé Status
The following morning, Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan simultaneously received a formal invitation letter from their families. The letter emphasized the necessity of a family marriage, and specifically mentioned that the two of them would be attending a three-day family gathering as key representatives.
Lin Chuyue looked at the letter, her heart filled with mixed emotions. The family gatherings in her past life reminded her of those cold and helpless days when she had no desire to participate but had to obey the family's arrangements. But now, she had the power to fight back.
Gu Yanchuan was equally reluctant. He dialed Lin Chuyue's number: "Chuyue, it seems our engagement will soon become a topic of conversation again."
Lin Chuyue chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with disdain: "If you're tired of it, I do have a solution."
"Tell me."
"Annecel the engagement." Lin Chuyue's voice was calm but firm. "What happened in my past life taught me that relationships require personal choice, not being arranged by family."
Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I never expected you to bring this up. However, breaking off the engagement isn't a simple matter; the family will give countless reasons to object."
"Therefore, we need a meticulous plan." Lin Chuyue's gaze gradually sharpened. "This matter is for both of us, and also for us to completely break free from the constraints of our families."
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "Okay. I will draft a plan as soon as possible, and we can test the reactions of all parties during the social event in three days."
That afternoon, Gu Yanchuan attended a business cocktail party. As an important member of the family, he needed to attend various social events. This cocktail party also became the opportunity for him to meet Luo Yurou for the second time.
Luo Yurou stood gracefully in the crowd, wearing a light blue dress. She was talking with several elders, her face smiling and her expression gentle.
Gu Yanchuan's gaze inadvertently fell on her, and he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity. He stepped over and nodded slightly: "Miss Luo, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Luo Yurou turned around and saw Gu Yanchuan, revealing a surprised smile: "Mr. Gu, what a coincidence. It seems we are all involved in this party."
Gu Yanchuan smiled and said, "It seems the elders really enjoy arranging these activities."
Luo Yurou nodded gently, her tone playful: "However, with an acquaintance like you by my side, it's not so boring."
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Gu Yanchuan noticed that Luo Yurou's speech wasn't deliberately ingratiating, but rather carried a natural sense of warmth. This feeling made him feel relaxed and special.
"What would Miss Luo like to drink?" Gu Yanchuan asked.
Luo Yurou smiled and said, "Juice is fine."
Gu Yanchuan nodded and went to the beverage area to get her a glass of orange juice. When he handed the glass to Luo Yurou, his gaze lingered for a moment longer—there was an indescribable warmth in her eyes, like a warm current quietly flowing into his heart.
At the same time, Lin Chuyue was dealing with Shen Fang's unresolved issues in the company's conference room. After the meeting, she intended to relax in the lounge, but unexpectedly ran into Li Zhanchuan in the corridor.
"Miss Lin, we meet again." Li Zhanchuan's voice was deep and magnetic, with his usual composure.
Lin Chuyue stopped and looked at him: "Mr. Li, what brings you to our company today?"
Li Zhanchuan smiled faintly: "There are some projects that need to be discussed with Gu Yanchuan, but he's not in the company. Since we've run into you, why don't we have a chat?"
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "President Li is also interested in casual conversation?"
“Occasionally.” Li Zhanchuan stood with his hands in his suit pockets, looking at her calmly. “Besides, I’m very interested in you.”
Lin Chuyue was taken aback, then smiled faintly: "President Li is really joking."
“I never joke.” Li Zhanchuan’s tone was serious. “Miss Lin always seems to disguise herself very well, but there are some things you can’t hide, such as your sharpness.”
Lin Chuyue was caught off guard by his blunt words, yet a faint flutter rose in her heart. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Mr. Li, I have other matters to attend to, please excuse me."
Li Zhanchuan nodded slightly: "Then I won't bother you. But Miss Lin, don't forget to call me if you need anything."
Lin Chuyue left quickly, her retreating figure carrying a hint of haste. Her heart was inexplicably racing; Li Zhanchuan's gaze and tone just now seemed to exude a certain undeniable power, making her feel both unfamiliar and irresistible.
