Chapter 162: Chapter 134: Zhixian (3)
Gao Yuan once again experienced special treatment.
After leaving the parking lot, the three of them boarded a tour cart that took them directly into the park.
And throughout their visit, the tour cart stayed right beside them.
It followed them when they wanted to walk and took them directly to the next attraction when they didn’t.
They also had lunch at Disney, but not at one of the public restaurants. The tour cart took them to an exclusive, internal restaurant.
The three of them had fun until five o’clock. As they were getting ready to leave, Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Should we take a picture?"
A short while later, a photographer was brought over.
With the Disney castle as their backdrop, Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao stood in the back while Xiao Yu stood in front.
Just as the photographer was about to take the shot, Xiao Yu suddenly pulled Gao Yuan’s and Xiao Xiao’s hands and placed them on her shoulders.
On the way home, Xiao Yu said to Gao Yuan, "Thank you, Uncle!"
This left Xiao Xiao completely baffled. When she asked Gao Yuan and Xiao Yu about it, they both just smiled and said nothing.
When they got home, she pulled Gao Yuan aside to ask again, but he just said mysteriously, "That’s Xiaoyu’s secret."
「At six in the evening.」
Gao Yuan received another message from Wang Sichao.
"President Gao, do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"
"No need, I’ll drive over myself."
Gao Yuan got up and walked to the door of Xiao Yu’s study. Seeing Xiao Xiao inside with her daughter, he asked, "I’m going to a party tonight. Do you want to come?"
Xiao Xiao stood up and came to the door. "I’ll pass. You go have fun."
"The car keys are all in that drawer. Take whichever one you want."
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao pointed to a cabinet by the door.
"Oh, right. Are you coming back tonight?"
As Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Yuan and asked this, Xiao Yu also turned her head to look.
Gao Yuan saw them both staring at him and said with a smile, "I’ll be back."
"Then I’ll wait up for you."
Xiao Xiao murmured, then returned to Xiao Yu’s side.
The time was seven in the evening.
Gao Yuan was once again leaving Tangchen First-class in the black Bugatti. Since he had a supercar at his disposal, he wasn’t going to insist on driving his own car.
’Besides, my own Brabus was bought by Lin Wanyu anyway.’
By the time he arrived at the She Mountain Manor, the location Wang Sichao had provided, it was already eight o’clock.
The location was a villa district, but the birthday banquet wasn’t being held in one of the villas. It was at an adjacent club.
The black Bugatti slowly approached the She Mountain Club. To his surprise, the main gate was already open, allowing Gao Yuan to pass through without any obstruction.
Gao Yuan assumed Wang Sichao had made arrangements in advance. He had no idea he was let in simply because of the Bugatti’s license plate.
After parking the car, Gao Yuan strolled toward the club.
Just as a doorman was leading him into the main hall, he saw several luxuriously dressed young people standing not far away. The one at the head of the group was none other than Wang Sichao.
Seeing Gao Yuan approach, Wang Sichao walked forward a few steps to greet him, a smile on his face. "Gao Yuan, welcome to Zhizhi’s birthday banquet."
Gao Yuan beamed and replied politely, "Young Master Wang, you’re too kind."
After Gao Yuan was led further inside by the doorman, a young man next to Wang Sichao asked curiously, "Brother Wang, which family is he from?"
Wang Sichao glanced at Gao Yuan’s departing back and said in a flat tone, "First-generation entrepreneur. Don’t mess with him."
"Does he have a special background?"
"Not really a background, no. But if you offend him today, Zhizhi will probably bash your head in."
After saying this, Wang Sichao took another deep look at Gao Yuan.
The young man beside him gave an awkward laugh. The next time he looked at Gao Yuan, his eyes held a newfound seriousness.
He knew the birthday girl, of course.
Even though she was Wang Sichao’s relative, he had seen how this little tyrant had Wang Sichao completely under her thumb, making him do whatever she wanted.
Otherwise, with Wang Sichao’s status, he wouldn’t be standing in the hall acting as a greeter right now.
At eight o’clock, the birthday banquet officially began.
Gao Yuan even recognized the host—it was Xiaobei, someone he had seen on TV before.
"Honored guests, dear friends, please give the warmest round of applause to welcome tonight’s leading lady... Miss Wang Zhixian."
A door suddenly opened, and all the lights converged on it.
Wang Zhixian, dressed in a white princess gown, slowly walked out. She stepped lightly, making her way to the center of the stage.
She lifted her eyes and scanned the room as if searching for someone. The moment her gaze fell upon Gao Yuan sitting alone in a corner, her face instantly broke into a wide smile.
At that moment, Gao Yuan also realized something—this was the same girl he had met at the concert.
He felt that same sense of familiarity again, but he genuinely hadn’t been able to recall where he had met her before.
"Thank you all for coming to my 18th birthday banquet!"
"Everyone here today is a friend, so I hope you all have a wonderful time."
Just as Wang Zhixian finished speaking, Wang Sichao shouted, "Zhizhi, make a wish!"
At that moment, servers wheeled a large cake onto the stage. The lights in the room dimmed, leaving only the glow of the candles on the cake.
Wang Zhixian clasped her hands together, glanced in Gao Yuan’s direction, and closed her eyes to make a wish.
「A moment later,」
She opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and blew out the candles.
Once the candles on the cake were extinguished, the lights in the room came back on.
Then, everyone began to sing the birthday song. Amid the singing, Wang Zhixian started to cut the cake.
As the servers began distributing the cake to the guests, people also started presenting their birthday gifts one by one.
Gao Yuan had also prepared a birthday gift. While everyone else was presenting theirs, he quietly placed his gift in front of Wang Zhixian before returning to his seat.
’Honestly, I’m getting bored. I just can’t seem to fit in with this crowd.’
It made Gao Yuan regret agreeing to attend this birthday banquet.
Gao Yuan didn’t notice that Wang Zhixian’s eyes had been on him the whole time. When he went up to give her his gift, she had wanted to speak with him but was caught up by another girl.
By the time she was free to speak again, Gao Yuan had already put down the gift and walked away.
She immediately snatched the gift from the table, clutching it tightly in her hand.
"Zhizhi, what’s that you’re holding?"
