"Why didn't you call me earlier?" Gu Chenan, rushing to the roadside, looked at Su Qianmo with slight irritation as he reached out to hold her hand.
Su Qianmo suppressed a smile, then casually replied, "I was worried it might not be convenient for you."
"How could it be inconvenient?" Gu Chenan shrugged, unable to understand.
Su Qianmo turned her head and hugged Gu Chenan's arm, saying, "If you didn't think it was inconvenient, why didn't you bring me along?"
"Nobody else brought their partners, it wouldn't have been appropriate if I was the only one," Gu Chenan answered honestly.
Su Qianmo pouted without saying a word, but secretly rejoiced when she understood the reason why Gu Chenan hadn't brought her.
She hugged Gu Chenan's arm, resting her head on his shoulder as the streetlights cast their elongated shadows.
With their backs to the bright moon, they walked towards the restaurant's main entrance.
Meanwhile, outside the restaurant:
"Why is old Gu taking so long? Did he run off?"
"Why aren't old Gu and his girlfriend here yet? They're so slow."
"How long has he been gone? What's the rush? Are you planning to make a move on old Gu's girlfriend?"
"No way! It's just that Zhang Fan said old Gu's girlfriend is even prettier than a celebrity. I want to see if it's true."
"True, if Gu Chenan called Song Xiaoli ugly, his girlfriend must be a celestial beauty, right?"
The group gathered, their gazes fixed on the direction Gu Chenan had left, gossip flying.
Undoubtedly, everyone was extremely curious about Gu Chenan's mysterious girlfriend and naturally wanted to catch a glimpse of her.
A short distance behind the group, Song Xiaoli also stared in the direction Gu Chenan had left, her eyes flashing with anger and curiosity as she muttered to herself.
"He called me ugly. I want to see what his girlfriend looks like. If she's not as stunningly beautiful as rumored, I'll throw that 'ugly' word right back at her face!"
"Xiaoli, this Gu Chenan is too much. He actually called you ugly. Let's see if his girlfriend is as pretty as you!"
"Yeah, you'd think Gu Chenan had women lining up for him or something!"
At this moment, a few female classmates approached Song Xiaoli, verbally attacking Gu Chenan.
Song Xiaoli brushed her bangs aside disdainfully and said, "He's just showing off. Do you really think his girlfriend is that beautiful?"
"Right, anyone can brag."
"Exactly."
The female classmates agreed.
Just then, under the dim streetlights, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo slowly approached.
They were still some distance away, so the group couldn't clearly see Su Qianmo's face.
But while her face wasn't visible, her figure was crystal clear.
The yellowish streetlight shone from behind Su Qianmo, casting a gradient arc of light on her alluring and seductive figure.
It perfectly highlighted her S-shaped curves, showcasing her ideal waist-to-hip ratio in the darkness. She looked like a mature woman who had stepped out of a manga, instantly inspiring a desire to rush over and call her "mommy."
Seeing this devilishly attractive figure, all the male classmates' eyes widened.
It's no exaggeration to say that everyone's hearts were racing, eyes bulging, and breathing unconsciously becoming heavier.
Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo slowly approached and stopped in front of them.
"Qianmo, these are my classmates," Gu Chenan said, not introducing each person in detail, but simply summarizing with the term "classmates."
Su Qianmo nodded, removing her hand from Gu Chenan's arm. She bowed slightly to the group in a graceful and polite manner, saying, "Hello everyone, I'm Chenan's fiancée, Su Qianmo."
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Su Qianmo, moving from her sexy figure to her face.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
She was too beautiful, truly too beautiful.
Zhang Fan hadn't exaggerated, or rather, Zhang Fan's description hadn't captured even a fraction of Su Qianmo's beauty.
Su Qianmo stood there with bright eyes and white teeth, graceful and poised. Her shapely legs gleamed alluringly, making it impossible to look away.
Even her slight bow was charming and alluring. Her face was that of a cold, stunning beauty, flawless as if she were heaven's most perfect creation.
She embodied both fiery sensuality and icy beauty, two contrasting qualities that made her irresistible.
Calling her a celestial beauty wasn't an exaggeration at all!
Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo were standing in a relatively dark spot, so logically, Su Qianmo should have been shrouded in darkness.
But for some reason, everyone felt as if an invisible spotlight was shining on Su Qianmo, as if she were the star of the show.
Everyone present stared in awe.
The male classmates, who considered themselves worldly and experienced, found themselves speechless in Su Qianmo's presence.
The expression on each of their faces was like that of a young boy seeing his secret crush from next door, both shy and desperately suppressing their inner feelings.
Gu Chenan's girlfriend was this beautiful?!
If that's the case, then Gu Chenan certainly had the right to call Song Xiaoli ugly!
Or rather, any woman standing next to Gu Chenan's girlfriend would look ugly in comparison!
It wasn't just the male classmates; even the female classmates were left dumbfounded by Su Qianmo's beauty and figure.
What extraordinary beauty – she was the epitome of their ideal woman.
These female classmates had intended to find fault with Su Qianmo when she arrived, but looking her over, they couldn't find a single flaw.
Su Qianmo's looks and figure were top-tier. In her presence, forget about finding faults – they felt utterly inadequate.
Song Xiaoli's heart trembled, her pupils dilating in shock.
She had planned to throw the word "ugly" back at Su Qianmo when she arrived, but upon seeing her, that idea completely vanished.
She realized that if she called this beauty "ugly" in front of so many people, they would surely laugh at her!
Moreover, if this beauty was considered ugly, what did that make her?
At this moment, Song Xiaoli understood.
She understood why Gu Chenan had called her ugly and why he had treated her that way.
But at the same time, a surge of intense jealousy and resentment welled up in her heart.
No, this won't do!
Gu Chenan left me and found such a perfect girlfriend? How could this be allowed!
Why should Gu Chenan's life be better than mine?
Thinking this, Song Xiaoli gritted her teeth, silently vowing to herself.
"Gu Chenan, just you wait. I'll definitely bring down your company. When you're penniless, I don't believe your girlfriend will still stick by your side!"
