Shengjing Garden, the reception room!
Ou Linlin, Sun Nanjue, An Zhe, Sheng Shuai, and Qin Qianqian, among others, were gathered around Ye Shu on both sides, playing cards together.
In this era where wireless networks are everywhere and electronic products fill the skies, it was indeed rare for a group of young elites whose combined assets could buy an entire city to get together and play cards while chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, Sheng Shaochen was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading the newspaper with a leisurely expression on his face.
Ou Linlin, seeing Qin Qianqian constantly sticking to Sheng Shuai, teased, "When are you two planning to have your wedding banquet? You both seem like you’re meant for each other. By the way, just out of curiosity, haha, where did you two make it official? Let me guess, on the beach? In a movie theater? Or maybe in a bustling square? Or is it... in bed?"
"Haha, none of those!" Qin Qianqian laughed, "You’ll never guess—it was in the men’s changing room!"
"Are you crazy? Can’t you keep some things to yourself?" Handsome B glared at Qin Qianqian and said, "I didn’t say I wanted to be your man, just that we’d try dating for a while."
"Try? In the men’s changing room?" Sun Nanjue immediately looked at Sheng Shuai with disdain and said, "Kid, you guys are way too OPEN. Seriously, in the men’s changing room... aren’t you afraid of getting caught?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Shuai immediately turned to Ye Shu to explain nervously, "Little Village Flower, don’t get the wrong idea. Qin Qianqian and I haven’t... done what you’re thinking."
Ye Shu was amused and coughed twice before saying, "What does this have to do with me anyway? You’re all adults and should be responsible for your actions, especially when it comes to relationships. You can’t be wishy-washy, you know, Handsome B. You need to treat Qianqian right from now on, or I’ll be the first one to not let you off the hook."
Ou Linlin also took the opportunity to shout at Sun Nanjue, "Ye Shu is right, you can’t be fickle in relationships. Any romance not aimed at marriage is just fooling around!"
Sheng Shuai immediately said with a sense of grievance, "Hey, don’t gang up on me . You two may be set for a happy ending, but Qin Qianqian and I aren’t sure yet. After what you’ve said, how can I ever dare to talk about love again?"
Amongst the group, only An Zhe kept a serious demeanor, appearing somewhat out of place, holding playing cards while pondering over something.
Ou Linlin suddenly said with a hint of mystery, "Hey, Ye Shu, what’s up with your husband today? He actually took the initiative to invite us over to keep you company? That doesn’t sound like his style."
Ye Shu, "What’s so strange about that? He saw that I was bored at home alone, so he had you all come over to keep me company. You’re welcome to come over more often if you’re free."
While they were talking, they saw Guan Jiu come in to report, "Young Master, the guests have arrived!"
"Please let them in!" Sheng Shaochen said without lifting his head from the newspaper.
"Guests? What other guests?" Ye Shu asked, tilting her head.
It was at this moment that An Zhe finally managed a forced smile and said, "Since we have visitors, we should get ready to receive them."
Ou Linlin and Sun Nanjue were also unclear about what Sheng Shaochen and An Zhe were up to. They had thought it was just a simple invitation to join in the fun, but could there be others?
At this point, before anyone had even appeared, they heard a hearty laugh, "This Shengjing Garden is certainly impressive, truly befitting of Jin City’s number one luxury residence!"
As Sheng Kun, in his sharp suit, and Song Xiaoxin, who had been carefully dolled up, appeared before everyone, it was then that Sheng Shuai let out a low call, "Dad?"
