This Dinner Is So Troubling

1/4/2026

Cecilia Gu kept her head down as she spoke, making her face look even smaller.

The floral mark on her forehead and her red lips complemented each other, making it hard for Charles Yin to look away even for a second.

Sylvia Ran felt a wave of discomfort as she witnessed this scene.

Charles Yin hadn’t contacted Cecilia Gu for three days, so why was he acting like this the moment they met today...?

Sylvia Ran had to admit, Cecilia Gu was actually quite attractive.

In the past, Cecilia Gu was easy to overlook because she was always timid, insecure, and tried to stay out of sight.

But today, Cecilia Gu seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.

Listening to the compliments around her, Cecilia Gu smiled gently and replied, "Oh, it's nothing really. I’m just doing what little I can. I don’t get involved in the Yun Family’s business—I’m only helping my aunt out."

Feeling two sharp gazes on her, Cecilia Gu casually glanced over.

Charles Yin’s deep, mesmerizing eyes seemed to have a magnetic pull, drawing Cecilia’s attention.

And beside him, Sylvia Ran’s openly hostile stare was impossible to ignore.

She’d already backed down this much—was there really nowhere left for her to retreat?

Sylvia Ran, you should be satisfied now.

Ignoring the two of them, Cecilia turned to Max Mo and said, "I need to use the restroom."

Max Mo immediately looked at her with concern. "Let my assistant go with you."

For Cecilia Gu, Max Mo—who never hired female assistants—had specially brought a young woman just to look after her.

Cecilia smiled and nodded.

Her physical burden was getting heavier now—she really did need someone to take care of her.

Someone pulled out a chair for Cecilia, and she nodded with a smile to those around her before turning to leave.

As Cecilia turned to go, Sylvia Ran immediately said, "Wait, I need to go too."
