Chapter 78: Gu Sai Spoils Me So Much That I’ve Grown More Shameless

Chapter 78: Gu Sai Spoils Me Into Being More Shameless

Chen Wang refused to keep talking to these three pigs—it would lower his IQ.

He asked Li Wencheng, "Where's Gu Sai? Didn't you send someone to pick him up? Why isn't he here yet?"

Li Wencheng said, "He's on his way. What's the rush? Didn't you guys just see each other yesterday?"

Xiao Bai swirled the red wine in his glass and teased, "Isn't this what they call 'a day apart feels like three years'?"

Lu Mo: "More like 'a day apart and the hots start stirring.'"

Li Wencheng chuckled. "You guys chat. I'll go welcome the older folks at the door. When Gu Sai arrives, I'll bring him over to see you."

With that, he specifically warned Lu Mo and Xiao Bai: "My little brother is really innocent. Watch your mouths around him."

After Li Wencheng left, Lu Mo asked gossipingly, "Hey Chen, how are things between you and Gu Sai? I heard you two broke up? Are you just not man enough?"

Chen Wang said, "Nonsense! We didn't break up—we're just on a break."

Xiao Bai: "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there's a difference!" Chen Wang explained solemnly. "A breakup means both people don't love each other anymore, and there's no chance in the future! We're different—we still like each other. We're just apart for a few days. I'm chasing him, and he's agreed to let me. We'll be back together before you know it. What do you call this kind of temporary split? Oh yeah, flirting. We're just flirting."

Lu Mo didn't believe it. He asked, "How do you know Gu Sai still likes you? Isn't that just you kidding yourself?"

Xiao Bai rarely agreed with Lu Mo and nodded.

Chen Wang scoffed, stuck his chest out, and said, "On the way back from An City, we spent five solid hours trapped in a car together. In those five hours, he blushed a bunch of times, like he wanted to say something but held back—he definitely had some dirty thoughts about me."

Lu Mo and Xiao Bai both gave him the same confused look.

Chen Wang curled his lips into a smile, hid his mouth behind his wine glass, and lowered his voice like he was sharing top-secret intel: "I told him I dreamed about him riding me last night. You wanna know what he said?"

Lu Mo: ...

Li Wencheng's warning should've really been aimed at Chen Wang.

Xiao Bai: "??? Told you you're crazy?"

"No," Chen Wang's eyes sparkled with excitement. "He told me to get lost!"

Lu Mo scratched his head. "So what?"

Chen Wang said, "He's inviting me—he wants to roll in the sheets together. How can you say he doesn't love me?!"

Lu Mo was speechless. Xiao Bai said, "Dude, is it possible he was just telling you to screw off?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Then he still loves me. He's such a polite person—he never says 'get lost' to anyone else, only to me. How is that not favoritism?"

Xiao Bai knocked back his wine in one gulp, done with the conversation. Lu Mo shook his head. "You're a goner, man. You're completely gone for him."

Chen Wang curled his lip. "Ha, a lonely single guy like you wouldn't understand what it's like to have his every mood swing because of me."

Lu Mo: "Yeah, yeah, I don't get it. I'm not as pathetic as you."

Chen Wang said proudly, "Gu Sai spoiled me into being this shameless, and I'm happy about it. No one loves you or spoils you—no wonder none of your relationships ever lasted more than a week."

Lu Mo's hackles went up at that. "Is it my fault? Every time I got a girlfriend, you guys would go blab about my embarrassing past and scare them all away! Especially you, Xiao Bai—what was your deal telling every girlfriend I had about the time I crapped my pants as a kid?!"

Xiao Bai said flatly, "You did the same thing—you told every boyfriend I had about me wearing skirts as a kid. Now they all call me 'sis.'"

Having successfully set off Lu Mo and Xiao Bai's bickering, Chen Wang smoothed his hair and clothes, smiled at the entrance, and waited for Gu Sai to arrive.

In the dressing room, Li Shanshan put on the diamond necklace her mother had given her—worth 5.8 million yuan—and admired herself in the mirror from every angle.

"So beautiful."

Aunt Zhou tied the princess-style bow at her back and smiled. "The missus really dotes on you, miss. She doesn't hold back when it comes to spending on you."

Li Shanshan lifted her chin proudly. "Of course. I'm the daughter of the Li family—the child Mom and Dad acknowledge. Some people trying to climb up the Li family through my brother? Dream on!"

She turned to Aunt Zhou, dropping her vicious gaze and speaking in a little girl's cutesy tone: "Aunt Zhou, did you remember everything I arranged for you?"

Aunt Zhou hesitated, looking troubled. "Um... miss, do we really have to do this? What if..."

"There's no 'what if,'" Li Shanshan said. "I've arranged this perfectly. Aunt Zhou, as soon as you get my signal, say those words I taught you. You don't need to worry about the rest—my parents will handle it."

Li Shanshan gripped the necklace tightly and gritted her teeth. "My position in the Li family absolutely cannot be shaken by some lowly little actor, and my Brother Chen Wang absolutely cannot be taken away by someone like that!"

Aunt Zhou looked at Li Shanshan's restrained yet aggrieved expression, gritted her teeth, and agreed. "Don't worry, miss. As long as your necklace goes missing at the banquet, I'll follow your instructions and hint to everyone that Gu Sai stole it."

Li Shanshan smiled with satisfaction. "Very good. Even if my brother and Chen Wang side with him, Mom and Dad are on my side. And the necklace will definitely be found in Gu Sai's pocket—he won't be able to talk his way out of it."

"I'm going to livestream this scene in real time, so my brother and Chen Wang will never be able to cover for Gu Sai again!"
