Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 80 First Encounter

The night Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan met, the Gu family mansion was also very lively.

The Gu family villa was brightly lit, and the banquet hall was filled with laughter. This was a family gathering carefully prepared by Gu's parents, who had invited many close friends and their children. Lin Chuyue was absent because of a date with Li Zhanchuan.

Gu Yanchuan had never been particularly interested in such social occasions. He stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine, gazing at the night view outside. He wore a well-tailored suit, his figure was upright, and his brows revealed his usual coldness and aloofness.

Just then, a clear and slightly mischievous voice rang out from behind: "Gu Yanchuan, why are you hiding here all by yourself? Is the party so boring that you're spacing out?"

Gu Yanchuan turned around, his gaze falling on the newcomer. The girl wore a pale yellow dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, her smile bright, and her eyes sparkling with a lively light that seemed to speak volumes.

"You are..." Gu Yanchuan's tone was flat, clearly indicating that he did not recognize the other person.

The girl didn't seem to care about his coldness and smiled slightly: "I'm Luo Yurou, the daughter of Uncle Luo, a good friend of your parents. I just returned from abroad. My dad insisted on bringing me to this gathering so I could get to know everyone."

Gu Yanchuan nodded slightly in response: "I see."

Luo Yurou raised her hand and swirled her wine glass, her eyes sly: "But you're colder than I expected. So many girls were smiling at you in the hall just now, but you didn't acknowledge a single one of them."

Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow: "Why should I bother with you?"

Luo Yurou chuckled: "Then am I an exception? At least you spoke to me."

Gu Yanchuan's gaze fell on her face, his calm demeanor now tinged with scrutiny: "Because you are more direct than them."

Luo Yurou's smile deepened, a sly glint in her eyes: "It seems you're quite good at observing."

Gu Yanchuan didn't reply, but turned back to look out the window. But Luo Yurou didn't leave. Instead, she stood next to him, smiling as she looked at the night view: "You know, when I was little, my dad mentioned you. He always said you were smart, composed, and a natural leader."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchuan glanced at her indifferently and said, "These are just polite words."

Luo Yurou shook her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Maybe, but he sounded very proud when he said it. I think he must really want a son like you."

Gu Yanchuan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly: "Are you always so direct?"

Luo Yurou winked playfully: "What, not used to it?"

Gu Yanchuan didn't continue the topic, but instead changed the subject: "How long did you stay abroad?"

“More than ten years,” Luo Yurou paused, her tone softening slightly, “but even a longer period of time wouldn’t be as interesting as it is now.”

Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Luo Yurou blinked and smiled brightly: "So, I've met you."

Gu Yanchuan paused for a moment, then revealed a rare faint smile: "Are you always causing trouble for others like this?"

Luo Yurou smiled even more slyly: "No, I just wanted to make your party less boring."

"However, I thought you were a cold and unapproachable person, but I didn't expect you to be more gentle than I imagined."

Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone indifferent: "It's just that we don't understand each other."

Luo Yurou's smile deepened: "Then how about we start learning about each other now?"

Gu Yanchuan paused slightly, his gaze sweeping across her face, his voice low and deep: "You're quite direct."

Luo Yurou shrugged nonchalantly: "Life is short, why waste time going around in circles?"

Gu Yanchuan was speechless for a moment, but he paid more attention to the girl's straightforwardness.
