Chapter 1146: Chapter 497: Confession

Zhou Yuwen decided on the spot to let Li Shiqi intern at his company, making others naturally envious, since Li Shiqi has a great boyfriend.

As Li Shiqi’s roommate, Wang Meng also wanted to benefit and gain some experience at Zhou Yuwen’s company.

And Zhou Yuwen laughed and said, if you are willing to join my company after graduation, you’re definitely welcome.

“Every single one of you here, if you have the intention to interview after graduation, you can come directly to me.” Zhou Yuwen said with a smile, and this was not just a polite remark. Two people at the table were his wife, and the others were either Shen Yu or Jinling University students, still in the student council. Training them as management trainees would be beneficial for Zhou Yuwen.

“Hey, it’s still preferential treatment; Li Shiqi can join now, but we have to wait until after graduation.” Wang Meng joked.

And Zhou Yuwen replied that preferential treatment is quite normal, isn’t it?

These words brought another wave of laughter from the crowd.

The dinner went on until ten o’clock. Everyone was young, and there were many topics to talk about. Maybe at first, it was hard to break the ice, but later, the conversation became lively. Shen Yu, who initially struggled to find topics, was actually unable to join the conversation.

When the meal was about to end, Zhou Yuwen paid the bill.

Li Shiqi’s classmates felt a bit embarrassed; after all, this dinner could have been reimbursed. Wang Meng’s suggestion for Zhou Yuwen to treat them was really just a joke.

Who would have thought Zhou Yuwen would actually pay?

Even if Zhou Yuwen had money, he couldn’t spend it like this, right?

But Zhou Yuwen just waved it off, saying it didn’t matter.

“Just a way to thank you all for taking care of Shiqi for me.”

This definitely gave Li Shiqi enough face.

In the eyes of those classmates, Zhou Yuwen was Li Shiqi’s boyfriend, so Zhou Yuwen had to keep up appearances. He couldn’t just leave Li Shiqi after dinner.

The group from Jinling University also expressed their unwillingness to be the third wheel, encouraging Zhou Yuwen and Li Shiqi to spend more time together.

It was well-intentioned.

But the problem was Zhou Yuwen was not Li Shiqi’s boyfriend at all, so Li Shiqi felt particularly awkward and couldn’t refuse.

However, Zheng Yanyan chimed in, “Hey, Zhou Yuwen, everyone’s saying this, so why not take the initiative?”

“Linlin and I will take Shen Yu back to the university first; you two take a walk?” Zheng Yanyan winked at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen felt Zheng Yanyan was acting a bit odd.

But before he could say anything, Zheng Yanyan asked Zhou Yuwen for his car keys, and left with Lu Lin and Shen Yu.

Shen Yu kept looking back at Zhou Yuwen as she left.

She wanted to say something, but didn’t have the chance once Zheng Yanyan pulled her away.

She felt something was off now.

But she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was odd.

Zhou Yuwen had plenty of women around — Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin among them.

But it seemed Zhou Yuwen had really broken up with Jiang Xinyi.

Which meant Zhou Yuwen was now single.

So, was Li Shiqi truly Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend!

What if?

Shen Yu suddenly wondered, what if she hadn’t drifted away from Zhou Yuwen back then?

Then wouldn’t she be Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend now?

Realizing this.

For some reason, Shen Yu felt a bit regretful inside.

Zheng Yanyan and the others left first, while Wang Meng, being quite sensible, quickly led the other classmates away.

Li Shiqi noticed Wang Meng leaving, and tried to stop her.

Thinking, I told you what’s really going on, why are you still leaving?

But Wang Meng just smiled cheekily, thinking, you said it was fake, but it’s clear the feelings are mutual, why not give it a try?

Li Shiqi chased after Wang Meng but eventually couldn’t catch up.

So eventually, only Zhou Yuwen and Li Shiqi were left in the mall.

Being alone again, Li Shiqi’s face flushed red.

She was too embarrassed to face Zhou Yuwen.

Not only was she pretending to be Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend, but she also turned the matter into a big deal.

In a broader sense, wasn’t she being vain, flaunting Zhou Yuwen’s name and playing tricks?

How could she explain this to Zhou Yuwen?

Li Shiqi lowered her head, not speaking, fiddling with her ten fingers nervously.

And Zhou Yuwen looked at Li Shiqi in front of him and eventually sighed, saying let’s go.

Their location was not far from Jinling University, so Zhou Yuwen just decided to walk Li Shiqi back. It was already past ten at night, and there weren’t many people outside the mall. On the sidewalks, only a few hurried people who just got off the subway passed by.

Along the way, Li Shiqi rarely spoke, probably really not knowing what to say to Zhou Yuwen. She knew she was in the wrong, so she just kept her head down, walking ahead.

And Zhou Yuwen just followed, not saying a word.

They walked through the streets decorated with lights, entered Jinling University, and strolled on the Wutong Avenue, with black iron street lamps with European charm emitting a somewhat pale glow.

At ten o’clock at night, Jinling University was indeed very quiet.

Li Shiqi continued to walk in front, while Zhou Yuwen followed behind.

The two passed under one street lamp after another; they had walked this road once last year. It was on the first day of school, and they had planned to watch a movie together.

But to this day, they still hadn’t seen a single movie together.

Ahead was the girls’ dormitory. Through the vaguely visible Wutong trees, Li Shiqi seemed to see the outline of the distant girls’ dormitory. Li Shiqi hesitated for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage to speak to Zhou Yuwen.
