Chapter 1066: The Flash Marriage Heiress (50)

“Yicheng, where did you go just now?”

The moment Luo Yicheng returned from the direction of the restroom to the banquet hall, Tang Guo stopped him. Looking at her smiling face, he felt inexplicably guilty.

“I went to the restroom.”

“Oh, no wonder. I looked around for you earlier and couldn't find you anywhere. Is everything alright?”

Facing those clear, bright eyes, Luo Yicheng recalled the promise he had just made to Qian Beibei, and guilt flooded his heart even more. He simply couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful. In a moment of impulse, he had agreed that if, after one more year, they still couldn't forget each other, he would divorce Tang Guo and the two of them would start over.

But now, looking at Tang Guo, he deeply regretted his recklessness.

“It's nothing. I'm fine.”

Tang Guo observed his expression. “That's good. You were gone for so long, I thought something had happened.”

Luo Yicheng took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face. “Nothing happened. Sorry for making you worry.”

“Mhm.”

Tang Guo simply responded and accompanied Luo Yicheng back into the banquet hall. The two greeted numerous guests, and from the outside, there wasn't the slightest hint that anything was wrong between them.

Luo Yicheng was a rising star, while Tang Guo was a true heiress. Both were exceptionally attractive, and standing side by side, they appeared to be the perfect match.

Everyone who came to speak with them couldn't help but praise how well suited they were to each other. Because Tang Guo herself was extremely capable, no one used phrases like "talented man and beautiful woman" to compliment them.

In everyone's eyes, the Tang family's young lady was far more remarkable than Luo Yicheng.

Everyone knew that without Tang Guo's wholehearted support, Luo Yicheng could never have reached where he was today. Back then, she had unhesitatingly invested tens of millions to help him establish his company and had continued pouring resources into it afterward. Even her two older brothers had lent their support.

Naturally, many people felt a little envious, but who could blame them? Luo Yicheng had caught the eye of the Tang family's precious daughter.

As for his past, everyone knew about it.

Back then, he had been an insignificant nobody, and no one cared what happened to him. Now, however, his future seemed limitless. Many people had heard bits and pieces about his history with Qian Beibei.

Though they knew Luo Yicheng, they didn't know Qian Beibei personally. They only knew that the woman involved with him in the past had the surname Qian.

Privately, people often discussed how fortunate it was that the Qian family had rejected him. Otherwise, how could he ever have won the favor of Miss Tang?

As long as Luo Yicheng continued working diligently and joined hands with Miss Tang, his entire life would be one of glory and prestige.

None of them could possibly imagine that he and the woman who had once abandoned him had made a three-year pact—or that the two had just met and reminisced only moments ago.

“President Luo is truly blessed.”

Luo Yicheng nodded, smiling without feeling there was anything wrong with those words.

He really was blessed.

Everything he had today—the glory, the prestige, the ability to stand here and laugh and converse with these people—had all been made possible because Tang Guo stood behind him.

In this world, he would never find another person willing to trust him and support him so unconditionally.

Perhaps he had never fallen in love with this woman, but she had long become someone immensely important in his life.

She was both teacher and friend.

Compared to Qian Beibei, what he felt toward Tang Guo was less love and more respect.

Remembering the promises he had just made to Qian Beibei, a trace of irritation rose in his heart.

Sitting alone in a corner, Gu Ye watched the man and woman chatting and laughing with others. His eyes turned icy as he let out a cold snort.

“It's all fake.”

“Fake? Lawyer Gu, what are you talking about?”

Gu Ye wiped his face and immediately put on his usual gentlemanly smile as he turned toward the newcomer.

“Boss Chen,” he greeted warmly. “Do you have some business you'd like to discuss with me?”
