CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134 SHEN YANCHEN AND LU QIANWEN GET ENGAGED

The days gradually calmed down, and there was no news about Shen Yanchen during this period. There was so much to learn about the drawing software that every day was fulfilling.

On Friday morning, Gu Qimiao had just arrived at the studio when Xiaoxiao sneaked in, looking a bit nervous.

"Gigi..."

"You’re skipping class again, Xiaoxiao."

Xiaoxiao walked over with a dejected look, took off her backpack, opened it, and took out a blue-striped box. Gu Qimiao recognized it; it was the tie they custom-ordered that day.

Xiaoxiao handed the box to her: "Gigi, tomorrow is his birthday. You take this and give it to him."

Gu Qimiao was taken aback and then asked, "Why don’t you go yourself? You bought it. How can you let me deliver it?"

Xiaoxiao pouted in grievance: "I’m afraid he doesn’t want to see me. If he knows it’s from me, he definitely won’t accept it. Gigi, please help me, just say it’s from you."

"In that case, giving him the gift has no meaning..."

"It’s okay, as long as it gets to him! Please, Gigi!"

Gu Qimiao was troubled but still reached out to take it because she didn’t know what Gu Moming’s reaction would be if she insisted Xiaoxiao go herself.

"Then... are you coming tomorrow? I’ll book a restaurant, and you can join us for dinner?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head, zipped up her backpack, and walked out the door: "No need, he doesn’t want to see me. I still have to go to class. Bye, Gigi."

Gu Qimiao looked at the gift box in her hand, feeling very sorry for Xiaoxiao, but Gu Moming was so arrogant that she didn’t know how to help her.

Advise her to let go? Gu Qimiao couldn’t do it because she knew how hard it was to give up on someone you like. Just like how Gu Moming repeatedly told her she and Shen Yanchen were impossible, she didn’t want to let go of him, or rather, couldn’t let go.

The next day was Saturday. When Gu Qimiao woke up, Gu Moming had already gone to the shop. Although he seemed unreliable, he was very responsible when it came to work, managing the car repair shop well. Because of his status as a professional racing champion, many people specifically sought him out to modify their cars.

Gu Qimiao stayed in bed until noon, browsing financial news, and unexpectedly found news about him. She didn’t understand the content of the report but stared at the photo for several minutes before saving it to her phone with a smile.

She had lunch at Gu Moming’s shop with the workers.

Rarely gathered together like this, someone asked if Gu Qimiao was the boss’s wife. Gu Moming smiled without saying anything, but Gu Qimiao immediately explained, "I’m his sister."

Only then did the people in the shop realize they had always misunderstood.

The Gu family wanted Gu Moming to come home for his birthday, but he refused, saying the shop was too busy and he couldn’t get away.

In the evening, Gu Qimiao booked a restaurant and still bought a small cake for him. When they were in Italy, they only had each other to celebrate their birthdays.

During dinner, Gu Qimiao handed Xiaoxiao’s gift to Gu Moming. He happily accepted it, even saying she had become considerate and knew to buy him a gift. Gu Qimiao felt guilty, wanting to say it was from Xiaoxiao but didn’t dare. If he refused to accept it, Xiaoxiao’s good intentions would be in vain.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, but suddenly, they heard a few young girls at the next table exclaim, "Hey, hey, hey! Look at Weibo! Just posted!"

"Oh my god! Is it true?!"

"What’s up? Let me see!"

Gu Qimiao could vaguely hear the discussions behind but didn’t pay attention until one girl exclaimed, "Shen Yanchen and Lu Qianwen are engaged?"

Gu Qimiao paused in her action of picking up food, and Gu Moming’s expression also froze. Then he glared at her: "Eat your meal!"

The discussions behind them grew more intense, gradually making the whole restaurant buzz.

"Could it be just another rumor?"

"This time it’s definitely true! Lu Qianwen posted it on Weibo herself! And look at the picture, the ring is ready!"

"Yes, they even set the date. The engagement is tomorrow. The ceremony will be grand. I’m so jealous, but they really are a perfect match."

For a time, the news of "Business Magnate Shen Yanchen Gets Engaged" was everywhere.

Those voices were so piercing...

Gu Qimiao didn’t want to listen, but there was always a voice in her head: Shen Yanchen is getting engaged tomorrow...
