Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 272 - 274: Gu Shaocheng, I’m Scared!_1

Once she found the name, Chenxing realized her hand was trembling.

Her fingers flew, quickly dialing a number.

.................................................................................

At that moment, Gu Shaocheng was hosting a banquet for his guests.

Every year, a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would host three large banquets to consolidate his connections in various circles. The venue was set at the Gu Family’s guesthouse.

The first banquet was mainly political, connecting his web of relationships within the political sphere. He attached great importance to this event—it was always the first and he would spend a lot of time and effort planning it, often preparing half a month in advance.

The second banquet was mainly business-focused. The Gu Family controlled 500 world-first corporations scattered around the world. This banquet was primarily to invite presidents and CEOs from various regions to report on the state of the Gu Family’s industries. At the same time, he would use the period when these CEOs took their breaks to thoroughly investigate their accounts for the past year. He was seldom involved in the daily operations of these corporations, but he was the rarely known mogul behind them all. The Qingcheng Corporation that Chenxing went to interview for the other day was backed by him! But few people knew this!

The third banquet was primarily underworld-based. The princelings of the underworld respected him as their leader. The ’special’ businesses they discussed were what Gu Shaocheng was most enthusiastic about and got involved in the most! He was directly involved in managing these businesses.

To put it simply, Gu Shaocheng had his finger in every pie! At that time, he was hosting the first banquet at home. The party hadn’t started yet, and he was accompanying guests to admire the home’s garden and architecture. They strolled and chatted.

The ringing of the phone interrupted his conversation. Gu Shaocheng excused himself with a smile, asked Bai Wuqing to continue accompanying the guests, and stepped aside to answer the call.

As soon as the call connected, a woman’s trembling voice came through. Her words were fragmented and chaotic, and it took Gu Shaocheng a while to understand her, "Someone is following you? Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to you immediately. Where are you now?"

"At the milk tea shop. Huanhuan tried to lead them away, but it didn’t work," Chenxing hurried and covered her mouth whispering.

Gu Shaocheng furrowed his brows. Who was so bold to target his woman? However, he always had people stationed to protect Chenxing; nothing significant should have happened. The people he dispatched were all top experts!

But then, her soft, sweet voice came through the phone, "Shaocheng, I’m scared!"

Just like that, her three words made him lose his sanity and judgment.

As a result, he impulsively left the banquet, abandoning the guests nurtured by power and status, got in his car, and drove swiftly with excitement in his heart—even a hint of delight.

You said you didn’t want to trouble me, but now you call me when something happens. Chenxing, are you sure you don’t want to rely on me?

Or is it that women love to say one thing and mean another?

That’s okay. It doesn’t matter if what you say is different from what you mean. As long as you depend on me, and I’m the first one you think of, I’m happy! Once I’m happy, you can do whatever you want!

...

"Hey, where are you guys from?" Seeing no one following her, Huanhuan immediately felt that something was wrong. She turned back, walked up to one of the red-haired punks, and poked him.

"Hey, you’re asking where we’re from, little girl, do you want to mix with us?" The red-haired man turned around and smirked, and Huanhuan kicked him away, "Keep your dirty hands to yourself! My clothes are not something you can touch. Don’t you know that I am someone you punks cannot afford to offend?"

The punks looked at each other, all somewhat stunned. This woman was quite something; she even dared to call herself ’young master’ in front of these real men.

...The next update will be after 12 o’clock tomorrow.
