CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 157: CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS BRIDE

Dudu crawled on the ground for a while, covering the place where her head got hit with her hand, feeling the warm, metallic-smelling liquid trickling down her face...

"Su Bao... it hurts..." Her voice had lost its previous vitality, sounding feeble and faint.

No one answered because he had already left.

Her mind was blurry, feeling terrible, unable to distinguish between the darkness of the room or the impending faintness.

She slowly crawled up from the ground, struggled to get on his bed, every move seemed so difficult.

The moment she lay down, she could still smell his scent on the pillow, but it was gradually replaced by the smell of blood.

She curled up her naked body, slowly pulled the blanket over herself, as if this would prevent the feeling of shame, as if this could maintain the last bit of dignity she had left.

Lying in the place where he used to sleep, slowly losing consciousness...

Downstairs, the lively atmosphere remained unabated, the sound of music around gradually increased, Shen Dad and Shen Mom were the first to glide into the dance floor, the two of them still looked like the prince and princess from a fairy tale, with eyes only for each other.

Slowly, people around also paired up and joined them.

Gu Qimiao and Xiaoxiao each held a cup of ice cream and watched from the side, suddenly spotting Yi An in the crowd, but the person dancing with her wasn’t Su Yan.

Gu Qimiao found it a bit perplexing, turned her head to glance around, and found Su Yan sitting alone on a chair by the edge, expressionless, but his gaze was clearly on Yi An.

Not understanding what was going on, another voice came from the other side: "Little wife, want to dance?"

He rested one hand on the back of the sofa, looking down at Xiaoxiao with a roguish smile.

Xiaoxiao pushed him away a bit: "Who is your little wife?!"

"You stole my first kiss, you have to take responsibility for me. My dad said our marriage was arranged when we were young." Yang Hexuan shamelessly said.

Xiaoxiao puffed up in anger: "You tricked me into kissing you!"

"I don’t care, anyway, you took my first kiss."

Xiaoxiao retorted: "You a philandering man pretending to be innocent? How many women have you kissed?! First kiss my ass! Have some shame!"

Gu Qimiao watched them with a smile, seemingly reminded of their childhood antics.

Yang Hexuan smiled, leaned down, and kissed Xiaoxiao’s cheek again: "Come on, little wife, I’m begging you to dance with me."

Xiaoxiao, with a face full of disdain, poked the spot he kissed, turned her head and saw Shen Yanchen walking over, then stood up and said: "Gigi, I won’t be the third wheel."

Before Gu Qimiao could react, Yang Hexuan grabbed Xiaoxiao and stood up: "Little wife, hurry up."

Xiaoxiao followed him while shouting: "Stop calling me little wife!"

"Then you give me back my first kiss."

"I want you to give me back my first kiss! And... that wasn’t a first kiss! It doesn’t count!"

Their bickering slowly faded away, Gu Qimiao also saw Shen Yanchen walking towards her.

He walked over with his long strides, directly sat down next to her, and Gu Qimiao awkwardly spoke up: "Are you done?"

"Yes." He said, then reached out to take away her ice cream spoon, speaking lightly: "Isn’t it your period?"

Gu Qimiao was stunned, her face slowly turning red, how did he know?!

Shen Yanchen pushed the cup of ice cream to the side and said: "Don’t eat cold things during your period."

Gu Qimiao, stiffly and embarrassedly, asked: "Did I... get it on my skirt?"

Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow, glanced behind her, and said: "Stand up and see for yourself?"

How could Gu Qimiao dare to stand up and let him see such an embarrassing scene, sitting stiffly, he then withdrew his gaze and said: "You came once before, seemed to be around this time."

Only then did Gu Qimiao heave a sigh of relief, turns out he was calculating the time. She didn’t expect him to remember such details, do business people have such good memories?

"Big brother." A voice came from behind.

Gu Qimiao and Shen Yanchen both turned to look, it was Liang Zixuan.

She walked around from behind, standing next to Shen Yanchen, the slit of her dress unknowingly or intentionally draping half over the sofa, Shen Yanchen’s hand was just there.

One could see her entire leg through the slit, and vaguely her hips’ outline.

Shen Yanchen retracted his hand inconspicuously, responding indifferently: "What’s up?"

Liang Zixuan glanced at Gu Qimiao, then said with a smile to Shen Yanchen: "Big brother, Yi An is still busy upstairs, will you accompany me for a dance?"

"Sorry, I can’t." He refused without hesitation, his face showing an expression that kept people a thousand miles away.

His rejection made Gu Qimiao feel a lot more at ease.
