CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 327: DID YOU HEAR THAT? (7)
Tang Yanqi’s hand froze again; it was Sheng Jianan’s voice.
He said "it’s nothing," did he mean there’s nothing between them?
Tang Yanqi lowered her gaze. Yes, there was indeed nothing between them. She couldn’t assume otherwise just because he gave her a card, celebrated her birthday, and gifted her this big diamond on her neck.
Her mood inexplicably sank to rock bottom. Although these were facts Tang Yanqi clearly understood, she couldn’t help feeling deeply disappointed when she heard Sheng Jianan say "it’s nothing."
Earlier, she was floating on clouds; reason brought her back to the ground. But now, it felt like she was in the eighteenth level of hell.
Tang Yanqi bit her lip, about to push the door again when the familiar voice came once more: "What’s happened in the past is no big deal. I’m married. You guys expect me to cheat? Never mind, I forgive you for not understanding what having a wife feels like."
Sheng Jianan’s tone was nothing serious, carrying his usual teasing and a bit of a boastful taste. Tang Yanqi listened in surprise, while voices continued inside.
"I mean, come on, my dude showing off his love gets you killed early. Be careful, though. Honestly, your wife is prettier and more interesting than that Shen Yao. Hehe, bro, does your wife know how much you adore her?"
"Depends on her intelligence level."
Tang Yanqi was utterly stunned, though Sheng Jianan hadn’t said anything outright, she wasn’t stupid.
In her mind, she sorted through the things she just heard over and over. So, following that logic, did Sheng Jianan...like her?
In an instant, her heart soared from the eighteenth hell straight up to the ninth heaven.
Tang Yanqi was in complete shock, especially at this moment when the private room door was opened. Zhou Chengze, with a cigarette in hand, originally planned to get some fresh air. As the door opened, he saw Tang Yanqi and Qi Cheng standing like statues at the entrance.
"Why aren’t you coming in?"
Hearing his voice, Tang Yanqi barely returned to her senses. Known for her eloquence, she stammered: "Just...just arrived."
Under the warm yellow light, Sheng Jianan glanced at her thoughtfully, with a slight smile on his lips.
As they returned, the game resumed, Tang Yanqi was even more off her game. According to Gu Han, if it weren’t for Young Master Sheng’s financial clout, Miss Tang would likely have lost even her clothes by now.
By the time they left, Tang Yanqi had already flamboyantly lost Sheng Jianan’s limited-edition sports car, thinking they were just joking. But when she saw Sheng Jianan instruct Qiao Zi to bring the car keys, Tang Yanqi realized they were completely serious.
Although she knew they couldn’t care less about this stuff, still...
In the car back to the villa, they stopped at a red light; Tang Yanqi glanced at the person next to her and spoke softly, "I’m sorry."
"Hmm?"
"Your car..."
Young Master Sheng was leaning against the car door with one hand, the other on the steering wheel. His whole demeanor was lazy, his teasing yet deep voice sounded in Tang Yanqi’s ear, "I said, I don’t mind settling it with my body. Consider it?"
Before Tang Yanqi could say anything, Sheng Jianan suddenly laughed again: "Forget it, no need to consider."
Just as someone was about to ask "why," they heard the man’s deep, magnetic voice, "Anyway, you don’t have control in this matter."
Tang Yanqi: "..."
"How long were you standing at the door?"
The topic changed so fast that Tang Yanqi hadn’t had time to react, honestly replying: "A few minutes."
"So, you heard?"
