Translator: 549690339
Gu Qichen answered a phone call and stepped out of the private room.
Although Xia Yangyang was in the private room, her attention was elsewhere.
Noticing this, Xue Shaotang said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t need to worry, I just checked, it’s a call from the company secretary, he must be busy with some business matters. Ah Chen isn’t like us, he doesn’t have many admirers by his side. For all these years, there’s only been one, Sister Bingbing…”
Xue Shaotang’s words were casual, but he quickly realized he had said too much.
Annoyed, he slapped his mouth, “Look at my big mouth, sister-in-law, please don’t mind, I’ll punish myself with three drinks.”
Xue Shaotang waved his hand, “Come, pour this master some wine.”
Xue Shaotang truly punished himself with three drinks, despite Xia Yangyang’s insistence that it wasn’t necessary.
She was just pretending not to mind.
Even his friends knew about Gu Qichen and Shen Manbing’s long-standing relationship, and no doubt their feelings over the years were deep.
Xia Yangyang had never asked about Gu Qichen’s feelings for Shen Manbing, nor dared to explore them.
At least, as a husband, Gu Qichen was doing his duty and always protecting her.
Xia Yangyang thought, she’d better leave it to time.
At this moment, the door to the private room suddenly opened.
Xia Yangyang looked toward the door, originally thinking it was Gu Qichen returning.
Unexpectedly, speaking of the devil, and the devil appears.
The person entering was actually Shen Manbing.
The room which was full of enthusiasm dropped to freezing point in an instant.
No one expected Shen Manbing to show up here.
Even Mu Liancheng was taken by surprise because knowing Gu Qichen would come, he intentionally did not invite Shen Manbing.
Shen Manbing walked in with her high heels, wearing a long black dress, covered with a black suit on her shoulders, makeup dazzling, with her seaweed-like wavy long hair, her presence formidable.
Shen Manbing walked in and said, “Liancheng, aren’t you too insincere not inviting me to your birthday?”
Mu Liancheng hurriedly apologized: “Sister Bingbing, you are a superstar, a busy person. With your daily schedule really full, wouldn’t I only cause trouble for you with my insignificant birthday? You don’t have to bother about my birthday.”
Shen Manbing took out a box and handed it over: “Your birthday gift.”
Mu Liancheng was pleasantly surprised: “Sister Bingbing, this is too embarrassing.”
When he opened it, it was an A.LANGE&SOEHNE new limited edition watch.
Shen Manbing said, “I know you like to collect watches. This is a gift I had someone bring back from Germany. It’s limited to a hundred worldwide and hasn’t been sold yet. I assume you will like it.”
Mu Liancheng said, “Since childhood, only Sister Bingbing has been so generous. Thank you, Sister Bingbing, I really like it.”
Shen Manbing’s gaze had been surveying the private room, seemingly in search of something.
In the end, her gaze fell on Xia Yangyang.
Especially Mu Liancheng, who wore a worried expression.
Shen Manbing, who was usually very busy, was suddenly here to celebrate his birthday and brought such a big gift, must have had ulterior motives.
Keep in mind, apart from Gu Qichen, Shen Manbing never cared about these other people.
Her presence here today must have been because she knew Gu Qichen would come, probably targeting him.
However, Gu Qichen was not here now.
And his young wife seemed completely no match for Shen Manbing.
If Shen Manbing decided to embarrass her, he wasn’t sure how to deal with it.
Mu Liancheng hinted Lin Zhiwei to find Gu Qichen to save the situation.
Young Master Lin got up and left the private room quietly.
At this moment, Shen Manbing had already walked in Xia Yangyang’s direction..
