Chapter 92 After drinking, the Crown Prince contacted Jiang Wan ahead of time.
"Cough cough—"
Jiang Wan coughed violently.
Tears welled up from my cough.
Gu Manning hurriedly pulled out a tissue and stuffed it into her hand, then patted her back with stiff hands, adding in a flustered manner.
"Um... if you don't mind me having relationships with other men."
"I...I'll try...to date you."
Jiang Wan got goosebumps all over her body, and her face turned bright red.
I don't know if it was from coughing or from being shocked by what Gu Manning said.
She patted her chest frantically, forcing herself to calm down quickly.
As soon as the cough subsided, he immediately turned around and launched into a series of explanations.
"No, no! You've misunderstood!"
"I don't have those kinds of feelings for you!"
"Just now in the elevator, it was because I saw Shang Shixu!"
Gu Manning blinked blankly, but her pupils contracted sharply after hearing the name Shang Shixu!
"You mean we almost ran into Shang Shixu just now?!"
Jiang Wan nodded vigorously.
"My God..." Gu Manning slowly leaned back in her chair, a belated sense of lingering fear welling up inside her.
After a few seconds of pause, she exclaimed, "Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise we would have really been in trouble today..."
Jiang Wan sighed.
How could it not be fast?
She's been scared so many times that her body has long since developed a "stress response system."
After Gu Manning finished her reflection, she sat up abruptly and stared straight at her.
"Wanwan, you guessed right this time."
"If Shang Shixu didn't tell you when he came back, he must be planning a birthday surprise."
"What do you think we should do?"
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go eat first, and think about it after we've eaten."
"it is good."
The car quickly drove out of the parking lot and arrived at the tea restaurant.
Inside the small private room.
Gu Manning waved her hand and pointed to all the signs.
Jiang Wan looked at the table full of delicious food. "Can you finish all of this?"
Gu Manning grinned. "This is a treat for you."
"These past few days, it's all thanks to you that I've been able to stabilize the situation. I can't let anyone else down, but I can't let you down."
Jiang Wan's face flushed. "I feel unworthy of this."
Gu Manning ladled out a bowl of soup and pushed it in front of Jiang Wan, saying, "You're just too modest."
Jiang Wan smiled sheepishly.
A few minutes later, she started talking about business.
"Based on my understanding of the business world, I guess he'll probably throw a birthday party tomorrow and introduce you to his friends."
Gu Manning felt the beef ball in her mouth bounce against her teeth.
He chewed it a couple of times and swallowed it, then eagerly asked, "Can I not go?"
"I don't want to infiltrate the inner workings of the business timeline."
"Your agreement with him is just a short-term relationship of two months. The deeper we get involved with him, the harder it will be to end it."
How could Jiang Wan not understand this principle?
She had been thinking about how to skip the birthday party since yesterday.
Persistence pays off, and she actually came up with a solution.
"I have a way to persuade Shang Shixu."
Gu Manning's eyes lit up. "What method?"
Jiang Wan laid out her thoughts completely...

8 PM, Yunshang Club.
After many days, the trio of friends finally reunited.
Pei Heyun picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Di Wenjun's, then put his arm around his shoulder, looking like they were good buddies.
"Brother Di, make sure Sister Tao brings Xiao Wanzi to tomorrow's birthday party."
"My happiness is all thanks to your help."
Di Wenjun chuckled softly, "Don't worry."
Pei Heyun sat back down on the sofa with satisfaction and looked at Shang Shixu.
Seeing him holding the wine glass, seemingly lost in thought, I snapped my fingers in front of his face.
"What are you staring at?"
"I noticed you seemed distracted during the day."
"Are you upset because you can't see Gu Manning today?"
It has to be said that Pei Heyun was right.
Shang Shixu suppressed his restless emotions after a day.
This sentiment is not as strong abroad.
Because I knew I wouldn't see anyone.
But after returning to China, we ended up in the same city.
Resisting the urge to see him is a form of psychological torture for him.
He snapped out of his daze, took a sip of his drink, and said nothing.
But this silence is a tacit admission.
Pei Heyun and Di Wenjun exchanged a teasing glance.
Shang Shixu glanced at them coldly, while the two men smiled and raised their glasses.
Pei Heyun: "Come on, let's drink!"
Di Wenjun: "Tonight, the three of us won't leave until we're completely drunk!"
"Clang!" The wine glasses clashed.
Two hours later.
Two people were sprawled out on the sofa.
Shang Shixu called his bodyguards and arranged rooms for them upstairs so they could rest.
He himself, with a slightly tipsy look in his eyes, sat alone in the private room.
Longing surged like a tide, and emotions overwhelmed my mind.
He didn't care whether there would be any surprises tomorrow; he simply opened the pinned Facebook page and made a voice call.

S University girls' dormitory.
After May Day, students begin reviewing for all subjects in preparation for the final exams in June.
Jiang Wan sat at her desk, silently memorizing key points, when her phone suddenly vibrated.
The screen displays: "Lie invites you to a voice call".
Jiang Wan put down her pen, picked up her phone, ran to the balcony, closed the door, and pressed the answer button.
"crooked?"
"What are you doing?"
A languid, deep voice entered Jiang Wan's ears, and her fingertips twitched slightly. "You...have been drinking?"
"I had a drink."
Jiang Wan sensed more than just a little from the sound.
The man's voice rang out again, tinged with stubbornness, "You haven't answered my question yet."
It seemed that if Jiang Wan didn't answer his questions, he could keep asking them.
"I'm reviewing."
"In the dorm?"
"Um."
"You really enjoy living in the dormitory."
Shang Shixu was merely stating the facts, but Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing it.
...Did he discover something?
should not.
If they had discovered it, their attitude wouldn't be like this now.
Jiang Wan calmed herself down and brought up the reasons she had given before.
"I get along well with my roommates, and it's lively living together."
"Besides, it's convenient to live at school and attend classes."
After Shang Shixu hummed in agreement, he brought up a new topic.
"What day is tomorrow?"
Jiang Wan paused, taking a breath.
coming.
He couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Jiang Wan focused her mind and began to deal with the situation.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
Shang Shixu's lips curled up slightly, and his tone rose a little, "I thought you'd forgotten since you haven't mentioned it these past few days."
"Tell me, how do you want to live?"
Jiang Wan bit her lower lip, her tone becoming serious.
"I don't want to live like this."
There was silence on the other end for two or three seconds.
Why?
