Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 487 - 490 The First Love 6_1

Chenxing had a small smile gracing her lips. While listening to Shaocheng and his brothers joke around, she preferred to keep quiet and concentrate on serving this "big man" his dinner. A sense of indescribable emotion welled up within her; how true it was that the simplest pleasures could be the most satisfying.

Unfortunately, sticking around Gu Shaocheng meant that her life would never be simple or carefree, only filled with one setback after another.

"Bro, do you know who tried to harm you? Before this, Chenxing told us you made a detour from the highway after receiving a phone call. When I looked at your call history, I found out that you had received a call from Little Secretary A. By the time I went to look for her, she had disappeared without a trace. I only managed to find her a few days ago but she was then snatched away by that bitch, Wang Yuanyuan!"

Gu Shaocheng shook his head, his voice cold: "Yuanyuan?"

"Dammit, when I went to City T to demand she hand over the secretary, she had the audacity to tell me she’ll only hand her over to you and can’t trust anyone else, uttering all sorts of claims. I swear that I was so close to shooting her!"

"Bro, I went to talk to The Great Lai. He swore it wasn’t him." Hua Hua chimed in at this point.

Gu Shaocheng furrowed his brows: "Who allowed you to get in contact with him?"

Hua Hua tilted his head and kept silent, recalling how he had gone mad thinking that The Great Lai was responsible. He had even stolen a gun from their third brother and almost killed him.

Yan Fengchi: "Bro, do you have any leads? We checked the havoc-causing motorcyclists but they were just local petty thugs who were offered money to target you. They were cautious in their actions and contacted via phone. But since the number was not registered under a real name, there’s no way to trace this lead."

Nan Baihao continued: "So, all clues point to Little A. That damn Wang Yuanyuan!"

Gu Shaocheng fell silent for a while, "I understand."

Chenxing continued to serve Gu Shaocheng his meal. Her heartbeat quickened when Wang Yuanyuan’s name came up again. All she could remember about her was the impression she made when she had once kidnapped Chenxing - that she was a woman of great presence and beauty...

Gu Shaocheng poked her face: "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Huh? What?"

"You spilled porridge all over the blanket and you didn’t even react. What’s on your mind?"

Chenxing snapped back to reality and quickly grabbed a cloth to clean up. Embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue then blurted out, "Nothing."

"Don’t overthink." Gu Shaocheng chided.

"Bro, there is an urgent matter," Bai Wuqing finally spoke, holding out a party invitation. "Five days ago, our third uncle sent us invitations to his fortieth birthday banquet, which will be held tomorrow evening. He has already invited all members of the clan."

Gu Buyu, the elder third uncle of Gu Shaocheng, was holding a grand feast for his fortieth birthday. It would be inappropriate for Shaocheng not to attend. Bai Wuqing had previously had a hard time explaining to the elders about Shaocheng’s situation, implying to them that his injuries were not serious. It would be hard to make excuses now.

"The rumors outside have already started, and the people are uneasy. Making an appearance tomorrow night would put most rumors to rest, especially those saying that you are no more. The entire Gu family is restless. We managed to play coy with your uncles who came over a while back, but it didn’t stop the rumors from spreading..."

"How can you think of letting Shaocheng go out when he’s just woken up?" Chenxing complained unhappily.

...The plot has been tense so far. Should we let Shaocheng comfort Chenxing’s little heart in the upcoming scenes, maybe with a large surprise full of romance? The vote is now open: raise your hand if you agree ^_^
