Bigshot Gives in to His Wife Again

“Sure, go ahead.” Lu Miao waved him off.

This guy was genuinely considerate, managing the temple quite well. Once the City God Temple started turning a profit, they established a charity fund that used all the temple’s earnings to support underprivileged children’s education and provide medical help for kids who couldn’t afford it.

Upon learning about this, higher-ups showed extra support. They not only promoted the temple through television and the internet but also provided resources and additional land for expansion.

The talismans Lin Bufan had asked her to leave behind gained popularity due to their efficacy, causing the City God Temple’s reputation to soar.

Now, the City God Temple was the number one popular attraction in Luo City, with a high demand for the talismans.

After sorting things out at the temple, Lin Bufan drove her to Green Island Bar.

When they arrived, his friends were already there.

Given that Lin Bufan had informed them beforehand, his friends were all handsome and well-dressed, looking like a group of colorful peacocks in competition.

As Lu Miao sat down on the sofa, Lin Bufan proudly puffed out his chest and waved to his friends. “Come on, come and say hello to my Boss.”

The group immediately stood up, respectfully bowed to Lu Miao, and said in unison, “Hello, Boss!”

Being young people who enjoyed a good time, they were chatting and joking in a corner of the hall, attracting the attention of others.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but cover her face with her hand, thinking, what a goofball!

Did he want to introduce her to potential boyfriends, or was he trying to introduce her to new henchmen?

These wealthy young men were used to being carefree and didn’t care about what others thought. Lin Bufan wasn’t bothered either, so he spoke to them casually.

“Hurry up, show Boss all your talents and specialties.”

Listening to this, one might think it was some kind of grand audition to be selected as a consort.

Before more people could be attracted, Lu Miao hurriedly interrupted, “Stop, sit down, and just have fun however you want.”

With that, the group relaxed and began to chat and have fun.

It had to be said that Lin Bufan’s friends were indeed quite decent. Each of them was handsome, charming, witty, and humorous. They even managed to make Lu Miao smile a few times, which was rare.

Furthermore, they didn’t exude the arrogance and disdain of spoiled heirs.

Seeing her smile, Lin Bufan finally relaxed and became happier too.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Lu Miao suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted in that direction, where a young and beautiful woman was holding onto Gu Shiyan’s arm, looking curiously around as they stood together.

It was the same woman from the news article that Lin Bufan had shown her.

A waiter was coming around the corner carrying a few cocktails, but the woman didn’t notice and walked straight ahead.

Just as she was about to collide with the waiter, Gu Shiyan immediately pulled her back and positioned himself in front of her to shield her from the drink the waiter was carrying.

The woman playfully stuck her tongue out at him and pouted, and Gu Shiyan said a few words in a somewhat helpless tone.

Then he guided the woman to the inside while he positioned himself on the outside, creating a barrier between her and the people passing through the hall.

Just like before, he was attentive and considerate, just as he had been when she was around.

Lu Miao had never seen Gu Shiyan behave this way in front of other women. It was her first time witnessing it.

Counting on her fingers, Lu Miao concluded that Gu Shiyan’s Red Phoenix Star was in motion – a sign of impending marriage.

No wonder Gu Shiyan, who usually disliked media exposure, hadn’t taken any action despite the news being out for so long.

It seemed that he really was getting married.

“Boss, try this one. It’s a signature cocktail from Green Island. It’s sweet and sour and doesn’t contain any alcohol,” Lin Bufan said, taking a blue cocktail from a waiter and handing it to her.

Lu Miao reached out, took the drink, and took a sip. She immediately furrowed her brows and said, “How is it?” Lin Bufan, puzzled, took the empty cup from her hand and sniffed it.

On the other side, Gu Shiyan sensitively sensed someone sizing him up. After changing his position, he followed the gaze to see where it was coming from. The bar was dimly lit to begin with, and with the person in the corner, Gu

Shiyan could only vaguely see a pair of eyes before they turned away.

Why did he feel like those eyes resembled Lu Miao’s?

It was Wednesday today. Wasn’t she supposed to be in the northwest at this time?

And with Lu Miao’s personality, how could she possibly be in a place like this?

In the bustling bar, faint sounds of laughter and merriment drifted from that corner.

Beside him, Ning Wanwan also grew curious and looked in that direction. “What are you looking at?”

Gu Shiyan squinted his eyes, lifted his leg, and walked straight toward the corner.

Before he even got there, he already heard the familiar voice of Lin Bufan.

If Lin Bufan was here, then…

As Gu Shiyan approached, he saw several heads huddled together on the sofa, apparently engrossed in some discussion. He lightly tapped on the table in front of them.

The group raised their heads, saw him, and Lin Bufan let out a cold laugh with a touch of sarcasm. “Does Young Master Gu honor us with his presence for some particular reason?”

Lu Miao held her glass and took a sip without saying anything.

Gu Shiyan turned his gaze directly to Lu Miao. “Why are you back?”

“Why? Is Luo City owned by Young Master Gu? Does my Boss have to report her return to you in advance?”

Lin Bufan snorted. “Young Master Gu’s influence seems to extend quite broadly.”

HIS woras were lacea witn Implications. ou smyan•s patience was usually reserved only for Lu Miao. He glanced at Lin Bufan and said icily, “Is it your concern?”

“Heh. It is related to my Boss. What concerns my Boss concerns me. Gu Shiyan, don’t think…” Lin Bufan rolled up his sleeves, about to stand up.

Lu Miao, who was beside him, immediately placed a hand on his shoulder and looked at Gu Shiyan. She calmly said, “I had some unexpected business, so I

came back..”
