Gu Beichen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He was also searching for the mysterious girl who had once saved him, but so far he had found nothing.
He truly regretted letting Chu Tianmo study the pills.
There were only a few left, and it was a complete waste of his thoughts for her.
When Chu Tianmo saw that Gu Beichen was silent, he continued "Beichen, how's the contact with Doctor A you mentioned last time? She is quite a legend in the medical field, she might be able to help you with the toxin problem in your body."
Gu Beichen slightly raised an eyebrow and turned his head towards his assistant Xiang Nan with a low voice, "Xiang Nan, any news from Doctor A?"
Xiang Nan respectfully replied, "Gu, Doctor A rejected our invitation. She's elusive and takes orders based on her mood, even 50 million was not enough to convince her."
A hint of determination flashed in Gu Beichen's eyes: "Continue the invitations, we can negotiate the price."
" Understood, Mr. Gu" Xiangnan nodded.
At this time, the phone rang. Gu Beichen held the phone with his articulate finger and pressed the answer button, "What's the matter?"
"Young Master, the housekeeper reminds you not to forget the family feast tonight," said the housekeeper.
Gu Beichen frowned slightly, the tone was somewhat displeased: "Family feast? I have important work tonight, I may not be able to make it."
The housekeeper sighed: "Young Master, the old lady said that this family feast is very important. Miss Meng will also attend, you should try your best to make time."
Gu Beichen's face darkened, his tone becomes firm: "I've said it many times, I don't need blind dates. You tell grandma, I'm not going."
There was silence on the phone for a moment, and the helpless housekeeper said: "Young Master, this is the old lady's wish, she'll be very sad if you don't come."
Gu Beichen gently rubbed his temples, his gaze through the glass window, cast into the distance, his face full of helplessness: "I know, I'll try my best to make it."
He hung up the phone. Xiangnan standing on the side, trying hard to hold back a laugh.
Chu Tianmo laughed even more exaggeratedly, leaning into the sofa, he teased, "CEO Gu, so you have today too!"
Gu Beichen turned around, his gaze sweeping coldly over Chu Tianmo. His tone indifferent with a hint of threat, said, "Young Master Chu, it seems that you're quite free right now? Why not go and meet Miss Meng?"
Chu Tianmo quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I wouldn't." Gu Beichen snorted coldly, ignoring him.
At this moment, Lin Anran had reached the door of the office. She stood there, observing the three men in the room, and softly called out, "Gu Beichen."
Her voice was gentle and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains.
Gu Beichen turned his head, his gaze meeting hers, and felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
It was her!!
Lin Anran, wearing a beige knitted sweater, paired with an elegant long skirt and flat shoes.
Her black, slightly curly hair was casually scattered, her whole being exuding an aura of youthful vitality and pure radiance.
She was just as beautiful as he remembered.
As a libertine and writer who was familiar with all sorts of beauties, Chu Tianmo was also moved by Lin Anran's beauty.
The beautiful woman standing next to Gu Beichen was indeed a sight to behold.
Gu Beichen came back to his senses and asked, "And you are?"
Lin Anran's gaze lightly swept over Chu Tianmo and Xiang Nan, and finally settled on Gu Beichen. She looked at the cold, handsome man in front of her - dressed in a black suit with a healthy complexion and felt a slight stir in her heart, "I am Lin Anran, your fiancée."
Xiang Nan was taken aback. Over the years, countless women have wanted to get close to Gu Beichen, but Gu Beichen always had a stoic demeanor around them.
This girl, self-proclaiming to be his fiancée, was indeed a first.
Chu Tianmo teased, "Little sister, you're quite unique! But do you know who he is?"
Lin Anran gave Chu Tianmo a nonchalant glance, choosing not to respond and instead completely ignored him.
Upon hearing Lin Anran's words, Gu Beichen's lips unconsciously curled upwards, his voice carrying a playful note, "Oh? I wasn't aware that I had a fiancee."
Lin Anran calmly pulled out a smooth jade pendant from her bag and stated, "This is the Gu Family's heirloom, given to me by your grandfather when he fixed our engagement."
Gu Beichen slowly approached and took the jade pendant, his gaze profound. He recognized this pendant, a treasure highly valued in his grandfather's collection. The jade itself was warm and the craftsmanship brilliant, inscribed upon it was the Gu family name.
Lin Anran met Gu Beichen's gaze with her bright eyes, "Mr. Gu, shall we continue discussing?"
Xiang Nan surreptitiously observed Gu Beichen's reactions.
Gu Beichen, today, seemed to exude a completely different vibe from his usual demeanor.
Meeting Lin Anran's gaze made Gu Beichen's heartbeat speed up slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, "Please continue."
Lin Anran carried on in her tranquil and clear voice, "Mr. Gu, I am here to fulfill my grandmother's last wish."
"She hopes we would honor this engagement."
"But if you are not willing, I will not insist. I will return this jade pendant to you, and our
engagement can be considered null and void."
Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow, obviously surprised.
"Are you really willing to give up?" Lin Anran nodded slightly.
"There are certain things we simply can't force."
The corner of Gu Beichen's mouth curved up into a small smile.
Giving up? How could that be possible?
"Gu family has always honored commitments," he firmly responded.
"Since it is an engagement set by my grandfather, we should respect it."
Chu Tianmo and Xiang Nan exchanged a startled look.
Oh god, were their ears playing tricks on them??
Just a moment ago, the stubborn Mr. Gu was resisting, but now he's ready to marry!!
Lin Anran blinked her eyes gently, a hint of inquiry in her gaze. "Mr.Gu, does that mean you agree then?"
A trace of a faint smile crossed Gu Beichen's face, his voice steady.
"Marriage is a matter of time. Since my grandfather has already chosen my partner, it saves me some trouble."
Chu Tianmo and Xiang Nan looked at each other, shock visible in their eyes.
The rapid shift in Gu Beichen's attitude left them completely unprepared.
Just a moment ago, he was rejecting the idea of blind dating, and now he seemed eager to step into marriage. Was it because he was attracted to Lin Anran's beauty?
As Lin Anran gazed into Gu Beichen's deep eyes, she felt a slight stirring in her heart.
This man was as enchanting as a sprite, making people's hearts flutter.
