Chapter 988: Chapter 988: New Loves and Old Flames
Sheng Tang finished speaking and felt like her brain had a hole in it.
She hadn’t drunk any alcohol today, yet she was acting foolishly.
Maybe it was that New Year’s Eve dinner that softened her heart.
Gu Jiahui might not be a good person; when they were in high school, he also tricked Sheng Tang.
But since their reunion, he’s been mostly helpful to Sheng Tang, and she wouldn’t have progressed so well without his contribution.
Sheng Tang wouldn’t fall in love with him, but being friends was no problem.
So, she ignored Gu Jiahui’s gaze, stood up, and pulled him, "Come on, let’s go to Zhou Yu’s place to stay up for New Year’s Eve and spend the night there."
Gu Jiahui was pulled off balance by her.
"I’m not going!" He wanted to shake off Sheng Tang’s hand.
Sheng Tang had already taken down their jackets from the coat rack, smiling brightly, "Come on, don’t be cranky! Follow me!"
She really didn’t want to leave Gu Jiahui alone here.
Maybe if Gu Jiahui went along, tonight’s New Year’s Eve would be awkward, but leaving him alone at home would make Sheng Tang uneasy all night.
Gu Jiahui was half-dragged, half-pulled into the elevator by her.
Once they got into the elevator, Sheng Tang finally let go of him and tossed his jacket to him.
The car soon arrived outside Zhou Yu’s neighborhood.
Sheng Tang was also a resident here, and the security wasn’t that strict, so she easily entered the complex and parked the car by the roadside.
Before going upstairs, she didn’t call Zhou Yu or Gu Shiting, and she hadn’t responded to Gu Shiting’s message either.
It wasn’t until they reached that floor.
Sheng Tang introduced Gu Jiahui, "This is my apartment, and that one is Zhou Yu’s; we bought them together last year. Did I tell you that?"
Gu Jiahui had a blank expression, "No."
"I thought, if you were to marry Yang Mingming, I would need a place to live. Renting temporarily would be inconvenient, so I prepared ahead," Sheng Tang said.
As she spoke, she walked inside and rang Zhou Yu’s doorbell.
Someone quickly came to open the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Lin.
Qin Lin saw Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui behind her and hesitated, "What’s going on?"
"What’s going on with you?" Sheng Tang retorted, "Weren’t you taken back by your parents?"
Qin Lin was still looking at Gu Jiahui.
He knew Gu Jiahui; they were in the same grade and both in the student council, but they couldn’t stand each other back then.
"I snuck out," Qin Lin replied.
After the shock, he also showed a bit of curiosity.
Sheng Tang’s skill, gathering old flames and new loves, was bound to make tonight lively.
Gu Shiting also walked over.
Upon seeing Gu Jiahui, his expression paused as well.
Gu Jiahui was uncomfortable himself, wanting to turn around and leave. He wasn’t a sad sack; he could still go find Fu Qingcen, and maybe tonight would be just fine.
Sheng Tang grabbed him.
"Come on in." She pushed Gu Jiahui inside, nearly bumping him into Qin Lin.
Gu Shiting silently watched her.
Sheng Tang winked at him and mouthed, "Come over."
Gu Shiting bypassed Gu Jiahui and walked to Sheng Tang’s side, gently hugging her.
Qin Lin: "..."
In front of her current boyfriend, is that really appropriate? Truly inconsiderate.
He looked over at Gu Jiahui.
Gu Jiahui just rolled his eyes.
Damn, why isn’t the atmosphere in this love triangle heating up?
Zhou Yu, who was in the kitchen making a fruit platter, finally came out to greet them.
He shook hands with Gu Jiahui, "Welcome, welcome! It’s our first day here, so it’s like a housewarming."
Gu Jiahui also congratulated him on the move.
Besides preparing the fruit platter, they had set up a mah-jongg table, planning to stay up all night playing mah-jongg.
Gu Jiahui: "..."
This certainly has a cozy vibe.
He wasn’t completely unfamiliar with it, as his aunt’s place was similar.
He even felt a sense of familiarity.
"Come on, let’s play," Zhou Yu called to Gu Jiahui, "Tangtang, want me to give you my spot?"
"No need, I’ll be on Ting’s side," Sheng Tang replied while taking off her coat.
Qin Lin: "..."
This celebrity, her current boyfriend hasn’t hit her yet; he really has a lot of patience.
Later on, Gu Jiahui and Gu Shiting sat in adjoining positions, and Sheng Tang sat between them, occasionally looking at Gu Jiahui’s cards, then Gu Shiting’s.
Qin Lin found the scene amusing, yet unexpectedly harmonious.
"Sheng Tang, you’re impressive. People find it hard to get one rich, handsome boyfriend, but you got two at once!" Qin Lin secretly sent Sheng Tang a message.
Having two boyfriends isn’t much, but getting two such wealthy boyfriends isn’t easy.
Looking at Gu Shiting and Gu Jiahui, they seemed peaceful, not about to fight. They were both gorgeous, rivaling celebrity idols, and Sheng Tang certainly had a knack.
Sheng Tang glared at him without responding.
She whispered to Gu Shiting, asking him to specifically target Qin Lin.
In the following rounds, Qin Lin kept losing.
Qin Lin inexplicably shivered.
Indeed, in this world, there’s nothing more dangerous than a woman’s heart.
