Chapter 462: Attending the Banquet
“What banquet?” Shu Pan suddenly asked with interest.
“Many celebrities will attend,” Gu Shaoting said casually, his tone somewhat cold.
“Really?” Recently, Shu Pan had become somewhat knowledgeable about celebrities and actors, especially with all the gossip circulating in the office. Whenever a new drama aired, every detail about the actors would be thoroughly discussed. Tang Wei was particularly fond of sharing such information with Shu Pan.
Now, Shu Pan realized that Huanhuan was quite famous too, especially after the incident with Gu Shaoting which had caused a media frenzy. The youth idol drama she was currently filming had gained a lot of attention even before its release, and many people were eagerly anticipating it.
So when Gu Shaoting mentioned Huanhuan, Shu Pan suddenly felt proud. It was unbelievable that there was a big star around her.
“What? Are you interested?” Gu Shaoting’s tone became a bit heavier.
“Um, I wonder if any of my favorite stars will be there?” Shu Pan muttered to herself.
“Do they compare to my handsomeness?” Shu Pan detected a hint of jealousy in the air. Sometimes this man could be so childish.
“You’re the most handsome.” Shu Pan knew how to flatter him; if she didn’t go along with his wishes, she’d face his punishments again. Just the thought of how he would punish her made Shu Pan’s face turn red.
Shu Pan’s words successfully mollified Gu Shaoting.
“Give Huanhuan a call back,” Gu Shaoting said as he drove, letting Shu Pan make the call herself.
“Huanhuan…” Shu Pan hadn’t even started speaking when Huanhuan cut in eagerly.
“Cousin-in-law, my cousin already told you, right? How about it? Are you interested?” Gu Huanhuan asked anxiously.
“Hmm, that kind of occasion isn’t suitable for me to attend. It’ll be full of celebrities, all glamorous and dazzling. We ordinary folks wouldn’t fit in,” Shu
Pan refused.
“Cousin-in-law, many people will be there, just going to join in the fun. Mainly, I find it boring and want some company. My good cousin-in-law, you’ll accompany me this Saturday night, ” Shu Pan was the most easily swayed person, unable to resist Huanhuan’s insistence, so she agreed.
Gu Shaoting’s face darkened upon hearing this, but he didn’t want to interfere too much.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Shu Pan pretended to gaze out the window.
Saturday arrived quickly, and coincidentally, Gu Shaoting brought Joy along.
When Huanhuan came to pick up Shu Pan, she received a stern warning from Gu Shaoting. If Shu Pan came back with even a hair out of place, she’d have him to answer to.
First, Huanhuan took Shu Pan to a salon, intending to spruce her up. Her cousin
was too old-fashioned; this time, she wanted to impress him. She personally picked out a cocktail dress for Shu Pan.
When Shu Pan emerged, Huanhuan was speechless. She was wearing a light yellow dress with strapless neckline, revealing a hint of her chest through the silk ribbon.
Huanhuan hadn’t realized Shu Pan’s figure was so good. She usually dressed conservatively, so it wasn’t apparent. No wonder her cousin was so nervous.
Feeling exposed, Shu Pan nervously said to Huanhuan, “Huanhuan, is this dress too revealing?”
The dress was off-shoulder, and she wasn’t wearing a bra, just pasties.
“Cousin-in-law, this dress is perfect. It showcases your great figure without a doubt,” Huanhuan said while discreetly taking a photo of Shu Pan with her phone.
She then sent the photo to Gu Shaoting with a message, “Isn’t my taste excellent?”
She couldn’t wait to see Gu Shaoting’s reaction..
