Gong Yang?
How come that name sounded so familiar?
Wen Shuyue didn’t remember who he was until she saw the billiard table.
Gong Yang, CEO of the Gong Group, was known as an eligible bachelor with a flawless face and figure. Both Gong Yang and He Siming were lady-killers. What was more, Gong Yang was keen on playing billiard and only played it with people who were at least as good at it as him.
It turned out that the one who had stood He Siming up was Gong Yang instead of a girl.
Somehow, Wen Shuyue instantly felt a relief and even a little happy, with the corners of her mouth curled upward.
“Miss Wen, you may not know this. No one dares to bail on Mr. He except Mr. Gong,” Guan Yue whispered in Wen Shuyue’s ear with a smile once seeing through what was in her mind.
Wen Shuyue calmed herself down and faked a smile as she suddenly remembered, “They must be good friends. Or else, Mr. Gong won’t do that.”
“You know him well?”
A low cold voice suddenly rang and gave Wen Shuyue a start. She got confused upon seeing He Siming with her head up.
Wen Shuyue stared at him silently for a while before she explained with a faint smile, “I’ve never met him before. How can I know him well? All I know is…” You.
Wen Shuyue couldn’t speak out the last word and flushed uncontrollably when realizing she said something wrong.
Geez! How could she have said that? What if He Siming misunderstood her?
“If you’d like to make acquaintance with him, I can set up an appointment for you two.”
He Siming’s words finally stopped Wen Shuyue from making blind conjectures.
But his words also upset her a little. Why did he seem eager to introduce her to someone else? Did he think she was a burden?
Wen Shuyue blinked and faked a polite smile. “Thank you, Mr. He. But I’ve got to go now. Let’s talk about it next time. Have a good day.”
Upon finishing her words, Wen Shuyue left without turning her head around, leaving He Siming no chance to speak.
Wen Shuyue had no idea why her mood had been easily influenced by other people, He Siming in particular, in recent days. Sometimes, just a few words from his mouth could make her heart sink.
As soon as Wen Shuyue left, He Siming put down the cue and stared at her with his amber eyes, which seemed ready to penetrate her head so that he could read her mind.
The gentle atmosphere didn’t last for long and suddenly turned awkwardly cold instead. Guan Yue sighed resignedly and muttered, “Why can’t you guys just get along with each other? Obviously, you care about each other a lot.”
“Guan Yue.”
“Yes!” Guan Yue was startled.
He Siming shoot a glance and waved at him. Guan Yue walked to He Siming carefully and was ready to say something before He Siming said,
“Go follow.”
Well…
With cold sweats all over his forehead, Guan Yue was somewhat confused and had to ask reluctantly, “Mr. He, follow whom?”
He Siming was rendered speechless, looking horrible.
Suddenly, Guan Yue looked enlightened. Perhaps, he was startled or he suddenly figured out who He Siming referred to. Immediately, Guan Yue went to catch up with Wen Shuyue.
Under this circumstance, whom else would He Siming ask Guan Yue to follow, apart from Wen Shuyue?
At this moment, Wen Shuyue already reached the box. Lin Lin got very thrilled to see Wen Shuyue and pulled her to a corner hurriedly.
“Have you talked to He Siming? Where’s he?” Lin Lin asked excitedly, grabbing Wen Shuyue by the hand fiercely.
Lin Lin’s questions instantly made Wen Shuyue realize why it echoed in her mind that she forgot something. It turned out she forgot her promise to Lin Lin.
Wen Shuyue scratched her head and giggled before she said apologetically, “I’ll go find him again. He was playing billiard, so I felt embarrassed to bother him.”
Wen Shuyue could hardly hear her last few words, with her voice dying away.
“Ah! You find it embarrassing to talk to him. What should I do now? Everything is ready except for He Siming.” Lin Lin looked disappointed. She thought she was bound to succeed this time, but the result turned out to be disappointing.
Lin Lin’s disappointed look made Wen Shuyue feel guilty. All Wen Shuyue could do was to comfort Lin Lin in a gentle voice, patting her back incessantly, “Don’t worry. They’re in the hotel. I’ll talk to him.”
“Okay. Yueyue, you’re such a nice person. I know you will help me.” Lin Lin’s eyes turned bright again, looking as if she rested all her hope on Wen Shuyue.
At this moment, Wen Shuyue felt nothing but gloominess. It was nothing easy to force herself to do what she disliked. Especially when it came to helping Wen Shuyue’s girlfriend pursue the man Wen Shuyue had feelings for.
Wen Shuyue paced back and forth outside for a long time, before she eventually forced herself to approach He Siming.
“If you want to ask me out for your friend, you should leave.”
As soon as Wen Shuyue appeared in his sight, He Siming said with a cold, isolating glance at her.
His eyes looked so apathetic and scary that Wen Shuyue couldn’t help taking a deep breath and forgot what she prepared to say completely.
Since He Siming had known everything, what was the point of her saying it out?
Wen Shuyue gazed at him silently for a while before she sneered, “That’s so disappointing. But I won you one round just now.”
As was known to Wen Shuyue, when Gong Yang had billiard matches with rich people, the winner could order the loser to do something. But she wasn’t sure whether this rule worked for He Siming.
“Won me?” He Siming curled up the corners of his sexy thin lips in a tricky way, with his eyes narrowed. “Do you have the gall to have a fair match with me? If you win, I’ll meet your friend. If you lose, you do whatever I tell you to.”
“Sure,” Wen Shuyue blurted out.
Upon finishing her word, she regretted making such a quick response. If she really lost, she was reluctant to accept the punishment.
“Alright. Let’s begin.”
He Siming was happy with her reply. Even though she was good at billiards, He Siming was far better at it than her, which she was well aware of.
