Jiang Yi and Jiang Wei also attended the banquet.
Jiang Yi wore a simple yet elegant dress, with a faint smile on her face and a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.
Jiang Wei had a friendly face. He greeted everyone with a smile, his eyes full of kindness.
Looking at these young people, Li Yan felt a surge of joy and anticipation.
She recently noticed something unusual about Gu Suiwan and Gu Tingyan.
As a mother, I naturally want to see my children happy.
Moreover, she had observed Shen Jiaxu and Jiang Yi and was very satisfied with them.
If they end up together, Li Yan would be happy to see it happen.
At the lively celebration banquet, the lights were dazzling and the music was melodious.
Gu Suiwan flitted through the crowd like a joyful butterfly.
Her sweet smile and playful words were especially pleasing to Mr. Duan.
"Grandpa, what do you think of my idea? In the future, my dessert shop will definitely make the most delicious desserts in the world, and I'll let you taste them first!"
Gu Suiwan blinked her bright eyes and tugged at Grandpa Duan's hand, acting coquettishly.
Grandpa Duan was amused by her and laughed heartily, his wrinkles smoothing out.
"Haha, great! Suiwan is getting more and more lovable. I'm really looking forward to your dessert."
Grandpa Duan patted Gu Suiwan's hand gently, his expression full of affection.
However, Shen Jiaxu was nowhere to be seen even after the banquet had been going on for a long time.
A sense of worry and doubt welled up in Gu Suiwan's heart. She picked up her phone and dialed Shen Jiaxu's number.
"Shen Jiaxu, why haven't you arrived yet? The banquet has been going on for ages."
Gu Suiwan frowned slightly.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Jiaxu was silent for a moment, then made an excuse and said, "Miss, something suddenly came up, so I probably can't go. You guys have fun, and I hope you enjoy yourselves."
Shen Jiaxu's voice was somewhat low, as if hiding some unspeakable emotions.
Gu Suiwan was incredibly clever; she immediately guessed Shen Jiaxu's thoughts.
He must have felt out of place in this setting, which is why he wanted to escape.
Li Yan overheard their conversation and understood.
She smiled slightly, picked up her phone, and dialed Shen Jiaxu's number.
"Jiaxu, you absolutely have to come! Today is a big day at the end of the year, and she'll be very disappointed if you don't come. Besides, everyone is really looking forward to seeing you. Don't think too much, just come on over."
After much persuasion from Li Yan, Shen Jiaxu finally came.
When he entered the banquet hall, he appeared somewhat uneasy, with a hint of tension and hesitation in his eyes.
Li Yan stepped forward enthusiastically, offering Shen Jiaxu a way out and defusing his embarrassment.
"Jiaxu, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long. Come on, sit here."
Li Yan greeted him warmly and led him to his seat.
Gu Suiwan became sullen and turned her head away, ignoring Shen Jiaxu.
She was a little angry, feeling that Shen Jiaxu shouldn't be so distant. They were clearly good friends, so why was he avoiding her?
Seeing Gu Suiwan's expression, Li Yan realized that she was just throwing a tantrum.
She found an opportunity to pull Shen Jiaxu aside and chatted with him in a low voice.
"Jiaxu, she actually cares about you a lot at the end of the year."
In her heart, we are all family, and there's no need to be so formal.
As you know, Suiwan doesn't have many friends, and she's always been very grateful that you've been protecting and accompanying her.
Don't take it to heart, she's just being childish, she'll be fine in a minute.
