Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2372 - 2265: Shameless and Persistent

This sentence made Cheng Yue’s heart feel sour and uncomfortable. Yan Huan actually took the initiative to invite Ji Chuan for a meal.

They had clearly agreed before that he would take care of his family affairs once he had pacified his parents, and then they would be together.

But now...

Yan Huan could see the disappointment in Cheng Yue’s eyes. She wanted to explain to Cheng Yue but found she couldn’t.

She hadn’t made any promises to Cheng Yue, and now with Ji Chuan, she was just expressing gratitude.

Moreover, the reason for dining out tonight was to stop Old Comrade Feng from bombarding her with questions.

If she explained, Cheng Yue might not believe her, which would also embarrass Ji Chuan.

Offending both of them at once, what was the point of that?

If she didn’t explain and watched Cheng Yue so upset, Yan Huan couldn’t bear it either.

An Hao was right, she was indeed someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Well... If you don’t mind, then I certainly don’t have a problem." Yan Huan decided to invite Cheng Yue to join them.

"Of course, I don’t mind." Cheng Yue grinned and came over to take a seat.

"Waiter, could you please add another set of utensils?" Ji Chuan didn’t seem particularly reluctant, and he actively arranged for Cheng Yue to have a setting.

"How about some red wine?" Ji Chuan greeted Cheng Yue like an old friend. Although Yan Huan was hosting the meal, it felt as if Ji Chuan was the one in charge.

"Of course." Cheng Yue didn’t hold back, his heart was stifled. He was determined to eat, to teach this foolish woman a lesson, to let her understand the feeling of heartache.

Yan Huan thought that three people sharing a table was already troubling enough, but she hadn’t expected Cheng Yue to not be alone.

When Shen Qiqi arrived breathlessly in front of them, Yan Huan felt a sense of deception.

"Cheng Yue! What’s going on with you?" Shen Qiqi, seeing Cheng Yue sitting at Yan Huan’s table, felt enveloped in a mysterious sadness, "How can you be like this? We agreed to have a meal together, yet you left me alone! You know I can’t ride as fast as you on a bike, at least wait for me! If you’re not waiting, fine, but you came here!"

As she spoke, her eyes were about to redden.

"You all planned to have a meal together?" Yan Huan looked at Cheng Yue with a half-smile.

"Yes!" Shen Qiqi answered Yan Huan’s question ahead of Cheng Yue, "Sister Yan Huan, you didn’t know, did you? Today is my birthday! Every year I celebrate grandly in Jiangning! This year I came to Nancheng, and only Cheng Yue is celebrating with me. He promised to invite me here for a meal, but I didn’t expect... meeting you, and then shamelessly joining your table!"

"Who are you calling shameless!" Cheng Yue particularly disliked Shen Qiqi’s use of the term "shameless."

"You! It’s you!" Shen Qiqi no longer cared about her dignity and bluntly spoke her mind, "I know you always have Sister Yan Huan in your heart. I’m the shameless one clinging to you! Cheng Yue, but we grew up together, I’m your childhood friend! Even if you dislike me, please leave me some dignity, I’m a girl..."

"Qiqi, why are you saying this here!" Cheng Yue was shocked that Shen Qiqi would say such things.
