212: Chapter 212 The Precious Daughter!

After all, women within Dubai are still quite conservative. Naturally, there is no need to discuss certain exceptional cases. But regardless, Shen Zhou's action just now could definitely be considered a bold display of affection.

"Gudisha, do you like this? If you don't, I will try not to do it in the future," Shen Zhou asked with a smile.

He could see that the Gudisha before him didn't seem entirely accustomed to it. Of course, he also understood that Gudisha wasn't truly angry. After all, the two of them would sooner or later be a real married couple, so what was wrong with such intimate contact?

"It's okay, as long as you are happy," Gudisha said, lowering her head, her cheeks flushed bright red, not daring to look into Shen Zhou's eyes at all.

"By the way, Shen Zhou, how is the preparation for my birthday gift coming along?"

"This time, there will likely be many people looking to find fault with you through the gift."

Gudisha herself naturally didn't care about the true value of the gift or whether it had anything special about it. However, others would certainly pay attention to this matter; if Shen Zhou hadn't prepared it with care, it might cause a huge blunder. It could even lead to new twists and turns in the marriage between the two.

"Rest assured, I guarantee that this gift will absolutely not make you lose face, and it will definitely bring honor to the elders of both our families." Shen Zhou had long since prepared his mental draft, and at this moment, he patted his chest with full confidence.

"Then I can rest easy. We'll see each other in two days, I have to go back and prepare," Gudisha said, looking visibly excited.

Shen Zhou nodded with a smile and once again personally escorted Gudisha back home.

The venue for this birthday banquet for Gudisha was naturally inside the Dubai Royal Palace.

As the birthday banquet was about to begin, a large number of invited guests were streaming in and out like a bustling stream of traffic. Even staff from various embassies in Dubai had received invitations. Some wealthy individuals from various countries who had partnerships with Saudi Aramco had all come to the scene.

The overall color tone of the venue was golden yellow, with a sense of extreme luxury everywhere. There were also some top-tier stars from the film and television industry who had received invitations. Of course, those who could come here were at least international superstars; ordinary A-list celebrities simply didn't have the qualifications to be invited.

By the time the birthday banquet started, Shen Zhou had naturally already called Maria back. Over these past few days, Maria had consumed a total of one million euros worth of luxury goods. Shen Zhou very generously signed the bill for her.

"Maria, you kissed me on the face the other day, and it left a lipstick mark, and then I forgot to clean it up," Shen Zhou suddenly said.

"Ah…" Maria was instantly stunned, then said very anxiously, "It's over, I forgot, nothing bad will happen, right?"

Her heart immediately became very anxious. She naturally understood how much Benrati valued Gudisha. If her kiss caused the marriage between Shen Zhou and Gudisha to be hindered, then her life would truly be over.

"Of course nothing will happen, but it's fortunate that Gudisha is a woman who grew up in Dubai. Otherwise, whether I could even come to this birthday banquet today would really be a question. Next time, you must remind me."

The point of Shen Zhou's conversation this time was in the last sentence. There would definitely be no shortage of women around him, so if others also inadvertently left little marks, then if such occurrences happened too often, it would be inevitable for Gudisha to get angry. If this were seen by Gudisha's elders, it would be even more likely to be finished on the spot.

"Okay boss, I will definitely treat this matter as a top priority."

"How about this, from now on, every time you meet a female confidante, we will first find a place to bathe."

Maria quickly found an excellent solution to the problem. Even Shen Zhou couldn't help but nod.

Although doing this was a bit troublesome, it could maximize the guarantee that similar incidents would not happen again.

After resolving this small matter, Shen Zhou took Maria and strolled around the venue casually. This time, Benrati was not accompanying Shen Zhou, as he had many business partners to interact with. And Benrati had already introduced Shen Zhou to his partners long ago, so naturally, there was no need to wander around with Shen Zhou again.

But even so, there were still many people in the venue watching Shen Zhou's movements. Many of the young people among them had unfriendly expressions. Obviously, they were naturally Shen Zhou's potential strong competitors in the dark.

"A bunch of clowns." Shen Zhou shook his head, feeling quite speechless.

When the guests at the scene became increasingly complete, the atmosphere at the scene also became increasingly lively. Then, a melodious sound soon rang out in the venue. Next, the originally magnificent and glittering hall suddenly became dimly lit. The next moment, a bright beam of light shone directly onto the staircase not far away.

Then the door on the second floor opened, and Gudisha, wearing a gorgeous princess dress, slowly walked down the stairs. The bright beam of light followed Gudisha's every step. At this moment, Gudisha, dressed in her finery, had a faint smile on her face, and her every movement and posture were extremely elegant. Under the illumination of the light, her gorgeous princess dress was shining with a pure white color.

At this moment, Gudisha seemed like a fairy walking among the human world. The peerless charm in her every smile and frown immediately made many young people in the venue infatuated. Even other young women couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and appreciation. Many top-tier international female stars in the entertainment industry looked at Gudisha with envy.

They had paid too high a price to reach where they were today. But she, from the moment she was born, became an existence capable of looking down on them. Gudisha had always had a quite good reputation in Dubai and even in Arabia countries. The path she took in Arabia countries had similarities to Monica's.

Of course, Gudisha could not participate in charity work as freely as Monica. Her identity as a woman meant she was destined not to be able to show her face too often. But even so, her extremely exquisite face and elegant behavior were already well-known to everyone.

When Gudisha arrived at the first floor, thunderous applause soon rang out in the venue. Even the members of the embassies of various countries couldn't help but stand up to congratulate her. And this grand scene also made Shen Zhou, who was standing in the crowd, feel quite proud.

Gudisha skillfully thanked all the guests present. Soon, Gudisha's father pushed in a huge cake cart. Of course, there were staff members assisting on both sides.

"Gudisha, my dear daughter, I wish you eternal happiness, and eternal beauty!" Gudisha's father looked at his daughter with great doting.
