Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Could it be Little Shushu’s suitor?
Handsome B frowned and said rather dejectedly, “What a hassle!” Then he stood up and suddenly reached for Ye Shu’s hand.
Ye Shu’s tiny body jerked backward in alarm, “What are you doing? Trying to kidnap me?” She instinctively tried to pull her hand back.
But he grabbed it tightly, “What’s there to be afraid of? We’ve all known each other for so long.” His palm slid past hers, and by the time he withdrew his hand, Ye Shu’s palm held a shining golden business card.
“We’ll continue our connection in the game,” Handsome B gestured a farewell to her, reluctantly turned around, and followed the middle-aged man.
Ye Shu furrowed her little brows, flipping over the business card to take a look…
Suddenly, Sun Nanjue’s puzzled voice came from behind her, “Who was that young guest just now?” He looked handsome and wealthy; could he be Little Shushu’s admirer?
Ye Shu jumped, feeling inexplicably guilty as if she had been caught doing something behind Demon King Sheng’s back.
She casually tossed the business card into the nearby trash can, smoothing her hair and saying, “Him? Just a friend.”
“Really? How come I didn’t know you had such a friend?” Sun Nanjue scrutinized her flushed face with a probing look.
Ye Shu glanced at him and cleared her throat, “You’re not all-knowing. There are many things you don’t know about…”
Without waiting for Sun Nanjue to respond, she turned and pushed open the door to enter the private room.
Sun Nanjue leaned against the wall, stroking his chin thoughtfully, and after some deliberation, he dialed Brother Chen’s number.
At that moment, Sheng Shaochen was sitting in front of a blue curtain in a VIP hospital room, listening to Han Ruixin recount some old memories.
As the time for the surgery approached, Han Ruixin started to mention more frequently the incident that happened 21 years ago, as if she was afraid he would forget her life-saving grace.
“Brother Chen, will you take me around the world once my leg is healed?” she asked suddenly at the end.
Sheng Shaochen’s brows furrowed slightly, a grim expression on his face as he pressed his somewhat swollen temple, “It’s late; time to rest.”
“Brother Chen…” Han Ruixin’s eyes welled with tears as she looked at him, wanting to say more, but Sheng Shaochen’s mobile phone began to ring.
He glanced at the caller ID and said, “Some business matters,” and then he stood up and left the hospital room directly.
The sound of the door opening and closing echoed, and Han Ruixin’s heart ached as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.
“What’s the matter?” Sheng Shaochen walked to the end of the corridor before picking up Sun Nanjue’s call.
“Ah Chen, everyone’s drunk, and I’ve had a bit too much as well, so I’m giving you a chance to come and pick up your Little Shushu. Do you want to?” Sun Nanjue joked half-seriously on the other end.
“Mm,” Sheng Shaochen responded with a single word, hung up, and turned to enter the elevator directly.
On the other end, Sun Nanjue stared at the dimming phone screen, feeling sheepish… Was there any need to be so sparing with words?
Meanwhile, in a private villa in Han City.
Ye Xinyu, clad in a hot bikini, slowly walked towards the outdoor swimming pool.
A bald man covered in tattoos was sitting in the shallow end of the pool, eyes closed, rejuvenating.
The tattooed man was flanked by two exotic beauties, one on each side, cuddling his arms and cooing to please him.
“Brother Qiang, I want the role of the second female lead in Director Sun’s new movie.”
“Brother Qiang, I also want a role in Director Sun’s movie, even if it’s just the third or fourth female lead…”
“As long as you girls make sure I’m comfortable, anything can be discussed…” the man removed the cigar from his mouth, lowering his head to blow the smoke into the mouth of one of the blond, blue-eyed French beauties.
