Chapter 66: Friendship Matters Most
“Grandpa said I could only bring the woman I liked here.”
Was that a confession to her?
Wen Shuyue was overjoyed in heart, but on the surface, she was calm. She smiled to herself and asked tentatively, “So… would your future wife be jealous if she knew you had brought me here?”
There was chemistry between them, but they didn’t show it. Although Wen Shuyue was looking forward to his reply, she was more afraid that it was her unrequited love.
“I suspect Baobao is not born by you.” He Siming took a deep look at her and looked away with disdain.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He had spoken so frankly, but she just pretended not to understand. He Siming was so tsundere, how could he possibly explain to her?
It was an answer that made Wen Shuyue feel ineffable. She pressed her lips, and after a long silence, she quickly changed the subject. “This place is really beautiful. Any woman who comes will love it.”
“Do you like it?”
The question suddenly turned to Wen Shuyue, who involuntarily glanced at him sideways. There was an indescribable meaning in each of their eyes.
For a moment, Wen Shuyue didn’t know what to say. A faint pink appeared gradually on her white face. She ducked away and nodded her head shyly, “Yes, I like it.”
Although the weather was cold, both felt a touch of warmth, as if they had got a cup of hot tea in the cold winter.
Perhaps both of them were a little shy, when Wen Shuyue finished her words, no one spoke. He Siming glanced at her from time to time. He tried to start a conversation for many times but finally stopped.
Both men and women who had just fallen in love didn’t know how to express their feelings. Although they did not show it, both of them knew it.
“Buzzing-”
The warm scene was interrupted. Wen Shuyue had already thought of the topic and was ready to speak, but her cell phone rang at this time.
“Excuse me,” Wen Shuyue distanced herself a little from him.
When she saw the caller was Lin Lin, she instantly restrained the smile on her face. Just like a child with a guilty conscience, she was a little afraid to answer.
“Hey, Lin Lin…”
“Shuyue, where are you? Didn’t we agree to spend Christmas Eve together? It’s so late now. Come back soon. And what’s going on at your house? Where are you going with Baobao? Why isn’t there anyone at home?” The phone rang with Lin Lin’s incessant questions, giving Wen Shuyue no opportunity to explain.
Wen Shuyue unconsciously took the phone away from her. She calmed down. She was about to speak when Lin Lin’s voice came again.
“There’s a big party tonight, and you must go with me. Gong Yang is also present, so you must not refuse.”
Lin Lin was definitely a nymphomaniac. She had previously said that she must make an appointment with He Siming on Christmas Eve, but now she inexplicably turned her attention to Gong Yang.
Wen Shuyue was speechless.
She was worried that she would have a bad relationship with Lin Lin because of He Siming. Now it seemed that she had overthought. Lin Lin would fall in love with every cute guy she met.
Lin Lin, who was obviously impatient when Wen Shuyue was late, said, “Where are you? Why don’t you say anything? I only give you half an hour, and you must come to the Baidu bar. I’ll hang up.”
“No, I…” No sooner had Wen Shuyue reacted than Lin Lin decisively hung up the phone, apparently not wanting to give her the chance to say no.
Maybe it was because Lin Lin spoke so loudly that He Siming understood what was going on before Wen Shuyue explained the situation.
When he came to her, he suddenly reached out his hand and took off the leaves from her dress quite naturally. He whispered, “Since she asked you to go there, I will send you there.”
Wen Shuyue opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain something.
Actually, she didn’t want to go to that so-called party with Lin Lin at all. She just wanted to spend some quiet time with He Siming.
Maybe this was the feeling of falling in love with someone.
Although Wen Shuyue was not happy with it, He Siming finally sent her back. He Siming received a phone call from his friend halfway and couldn’t go with Wen Shuyue.
“Come on, why did you insist on my coming here? I told you I didn’t like your friends very much.” As soon as Wen Shuyue arrived at the bar, she kept complaining to Lin Lin.
Lin Lin patted her on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t ask you to meet my friends. I asked you to meet Gong Yang.”
Gong Yang was famous, but Wen Shuyue didn’t care about him. After all, she had something in her heart, and there was no room for anyone else.
“How do you know Gong Yang will come today?” Wen Shuyue suddenly thought of this question.
Lin Lin looked away awkwardly as if she had been caught in a dark act. “I,” she explained, “had someone investigate He Siming’s schedule, and I found out about his activities with Gong Yang tonight.”
It turned out it was still because of He Siming.
“Shuyue, don’t take it to heart. I don’t like He Siming that much now. I want to pursue Gong Yang wholeheartedly, so you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable.” Lin Lin, fearing that Wen Shuyue might misunderstand something, hurriedly explained.
It was good that she didn’t say it, but as soon as she said it, Wen Shuyue felt even more uncomfortable.
Why did Lin Lin say that? Did she already know about her relationship with He Siming?
Seeing Wen Shuyue’s surprise and doubt, Lin Lin took a deep breath and solemnly explained, “You know I have powerful connections. I have accidentally found out the relationship between Baobao and He Siming. I didn’t want to make it awkward between us, so I just gave him up.”
Did Lin Lin give up on someone she liked so easily?
Wen Shuyue was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Lin Lin. Then she said, “I think you don’t really like him. If you really liked him, you’d choose to compete fairly.”
“Who wants to play fair with you? For me, friendship is the most important thing. Those men had better get out of the way. I don’t care.” Lin Lin also rolled her eyes at Wen Shuyue. She kindly gave up her love for her, but unexpectedly she got such a comment.
