Chapter 1156 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (180)

Not long after, Nian Shen came out from inside, accompanied by Yi Yang.

Yi Yang glanced this way and called out, "Miss Hai, we’re about to head out."

"Got it," she responded, then turned to the director. "Director, I’m riding with Mr. Nian, see you later at the hotel. I’ll send you the address."

"Alright, you go ahead, we’ll catch up soon. Whose car is bigger?"

Whatever they were discussing, Heather didn’t care to know and headed toward Nian Shen.

...

The friend Heather mentioned was Mo Jun Tian, the heir of a major real estate tycoon in the city. This connection deepened her ties with the director, leaving everyone inwardly overwhelmed: Just how many people does this Heather actually know?

"Ha..." The assistant director let out an awkward laugh, pandering, "Wei Wei seems to know just about everyone, from all kinds of fields."

The director stood up. "Let me drink first as a gesture of respect."

Nian Shen sat there, exuding a powerful aura. Without saying a single word, his presence was utterly commanding, enough to draw Gu Liancheng’s attention.

He sat beside Heather, across from Gu Liancheng and Qianxun.

Looking at them like this, Gu Liancheng couldn’t help but feel... they seemed perfectly in sync sitting together.

The last person who gave him this same feeling...

Was it Li Sinian?

Who exactly is this Nian Shen...?

Qianxun had also been quietly observing Mr. Nian. She had come across him in gossip news before, but now seeing him in person, she couldn’t shake a feeling of unease.

Staying close to Gu Liancheng, she clung to his arm and whispered softly in his ear, "Hubby... I just feel like Mr. Nian has such an overpowering presence. The people sitting near him all seem a little off-balance. And I swear... it’s like I’ve felt this sensation somewhere before..."

Gu Liancheng looked down and said to her, "Li Sinian."

"Oh, right, right!" Qianxun’s eyes widened. "It’s exactly that same feeling! Hardly anyone gives me that vibe. It’s like with Mr. Li — just walking near him made it hard to breathe, as if there’s some invisible force around him. Now, with this Mr. Nian... it feels exactly the same. Hubby, do you think... could it be possible that Nian Shen is like Li Sinian, doing that kind of thing?"

Plus, Heather had earlier mentioned that he was chased down all the way to the hotel.

"Hard to say," Gu Liancheng frowned. "Perhaps others have noticed this too but don’t find it strange. You and I have had contact with Li Sinian before, so the comparison feels stark. Ordinary people don’t have such formidable presences. That said... I’m sure Heather must have sensed it too. If he were someone suspicious, there’s no way she wouldn’t have doubts or wouldn’t keep her distance. My guess is she’s already tested him and ruled out that possibility."

"Or maybe... we’re just overthinking it." Qianxun mused, perhaps he’s just an ordinary person, and they’re imagining things.

"Maybe."

"I’ve always heard that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have a very loving relationship. Seeing it firsthand today, I can confirm the rumors are absolutely true!" The director said with a laugh.

"Quite right!" Mo Jun Tian, sitting on Heather’s other side, chimed in. "I didn’t recognize this young lady earlier and thought she must still be a student. I was just about to introduce myself when Mr. Gu nearly broke my wrist. Scared me to death!"

The whole table burst into laughter.

"Mo Shao, you must’ve just returned and aren’t fully informed yet! If you’d known earlier, you wouldn’t dare make a move on Mrs. Gu! Mr. Gu’s devotion to his wife is something everyone in the circle knows about. It’s widely said that no matter how angry you make Mr. Gu, you *must not* upset Mrs. Gu. The consequences of that... are truly unimaginable!"
