Chapter 1639: Chapter 1639: Are You Really Getting Married?
I’ve almost gotten used to this kind of reckless behavior with Xue Mengmeng.
"He must know I’ve deceived him now. Look, he hasn’t called me since," Gu Ziyou said, clutching her phone tightly with a worried expression.
"You could have delayed if you hadn’t boarded the plane yet, but you already boarded, so why say it like that?" Mengmeng said, carrying her suitcase, "Anyway, there’s nothing he can do about it now. Are you... chickening out and afraid to tell the truth?"
"Why would I..." Gu Ziyou drooped her head, "Yeah, I’m still a bit scared to tell him that I’m already in Manchester. We agreed to return to Manchester together after my parents come back, and he’s been particularly busy these days. But I came back early."
Mengmeng said with disdain, "Gu Ziyou, let’s not say you haven’t married yet - even if you were married, visiting home is totally normal. Can you not be like this? About this small matter, you can stand tall and boldly tell Shen Lingfeng that this lady is in Manchester enjoying herself and he can come serve you in a few days. What opinions could he have?"
Gu Ziyou pouted; that makes sense.
It’s just that she feels too exhausted every night, so sneaking away seemed embarrassing.
"Alright, I’ll call him now."
Finally gathering her courage, she dialed the number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..."
"His phone is off." Gu Ziyou lost hope completely and decided to just take Mengmeng home first.

The two went to their favorite restaurant from before and had a meal. The servant smiled at them as they returned, "Second Miss is back. The room arranged for Miss Mengmeng is ready..."
"Who said that? Is there any need?," Mengmeng said, raising her chin, "I don’t need a separate room; tonight, I’m sleeping in your second miss’s room. I’ll sleep with her!"
The servant listened to their jokes, smiled, and then said, "Also, Mr. Li is here. He mentioned he’d wait here after I said Second Miss went to pick up Miss Mengmeng at the airport."
"Li Chaoxi actually has free time?" Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, "Let’s go, let’s have a drink."
Gu Ziyou felt relieved; thankfully she brought Mengmeng along.
In the living room, Li Chaoxi, dressed casually, with his legs crossed, appeared to be on a call with his agent.
"Chaoxi, don’t you have filming to do? How come you ended up here," Mengmeng said with a radiant smile.
Gu Ziyou smiled and said, "Didn’t you mention before that you’re taking on a new role?"
Li Chaoxi glanced at them, said a few casual words to his assistant, and hung up the phone.
"You’re back, why did picking people up take so long?" He noticed a trace of hesitation in Gu Ziyou but ended up smiling, "The little time I had left is mostly gone."
Gu Ziyou sighed, "I had no idea you were coming over; why didn’t you call me? I just went out to eat with Mengmeng."
"I just happened to hear you were back, and I was nearby, thought I’d check in," he said as he stood, "I figured you’d be back soon and didn’t call. How many days are you staying this time?"
"Me?" Gu Ziyou and Mengmeng walked over and sat on the sofa, "I’m waiting for my parents to return, they’ll be back soon. We’ll see what happens after that."
Li Chaoxi’s dark eyes fixed on her, "So, are you really going to get married?"
