Chapter 725 - 728: Slap at the Birthday Banquet 5_1

Hua Hua bounded up to Gu Shaocheng, snatching the pen from his hand.

"You don’t need to plan your own birthday party. We’ll do it for you. I think recently the aura in this old house is too gloomy, bad luck all around, we should host a party to sprinkle some joy. I’ll take care of it. Bro, you just need to attend, okay? Just nod your head. I’ve already made all the arrangements. Now if you say you don’t want to do it, wouldn’t the money be wasted?"

Nan Baihao chimed in immediately, "Exactly, I’ve already sent out all the invitations. Now if we tell people the party’s canceled, they’ll laugh their heads off."

Gu Shaocheng squinted his eyes. "Who told you to make decisions on your own, acting first and reporting later?"

Did he even feel like hosting a party?

Hua Hua plopped down on his working desk, shifting the large pile of official documents to the side. He placed a plate of fruit on the vacant spot, peeled some grapes and shoved them into his mouth as he continued, "I see you’ve been too busy lately, so I thought I’d help you relax a bit."

He peeled another grape and handed it over to Gu Shaocheng. "Bro, you see how well I’ve been behaving lately. I haven’t been to any nightclubs, nor made any tabloid headlines. I’m so bored I might as well grow fur. If you don’t agree to this party, I’m going to die of boredom."

Gu Shaocheng refused to open his mouth, turned his face away. Hua Hua kept offering the grape, and only then did Gu Shaocheng open his mouth to eat, without tasting anything, "If you want to party, find your own reason. No birthday banquet!"

"I don’t have the face for it. Who’d come if I were to host a party? Plus, Third Brother has already distributed all the invitations," Hua Hua quickly peeled another grape and offered it. Gu Shaocheng pushed him away, "Go play to the side!"

Bai Wuqing said, "Just do it. It’s too late to call it off now. There’s no need for you to worry about it; we’ll take care of it."

Normally, Gu Shaocheng would pay some attention to Bai Wuqing’s words. However, at that moment, he wore a heavy frown, his face expressionless. He glanced at his brothers; his annoyance was comparable to tangled hair. He could see through his brothers’ intents. Unable to resist their relentless persuasion, he finally nodded: "Suit yourselves."

...

During the days when the Gu family was preparing for the feast, Chenxing was practicing ballroom dancing tirelessly in her apartment, day and night. She also racked her brains for a gift for Gu Shaocheng.

After many sleepless nights, she was so exhausted she fell asleep immediately.

In her dreams, she even displayed the first sign of a smile she’d had in days.

She had a good dream, dreaming that Gu Shaocheng asked her to dance. She danced beautifully, enchanting Shaocheng and earning his full affection. He embraced her tightly, and even kissed her, caressed her. She had a wonderful dream.

Luo Xi stood beside the bed with her arms crossed, shaking her head in disapproval.

Turned off the light and walked out.

Chenxing was finally showing some positivity, unlike the past few days when she’d been downcast. Luo Xi refrained from crushing her newfound enthusiasm, but she worried about Chenxing’s potential disappointment and possible heartache. Could she bear it when that time came?

Just as Luo Xi was pondering, her cell phone rang abruptly.

She checked the number; it was from a stranger. She picked up, "Hello, who’s this?"

"Come down a moment." Yan Fengchi’s voice was like a deflating balloon in the tranquil night. Luo Xi walked over to the balcony and looked down: a man sat at the front of a car under the street light, looking up at her.
