Qiao Lian almost choked on what he said . It felt strange seeing Su Penghao behave this way .
Su Penghao twitched his lips and said, âShe asked me out for a drink, to share our perspectives on gaming . Weâve known each other for a while and she did try to poach me . However, she hasnât tried again after I rejected her . â
Purple Fairy did invite him to join their team and he hesitated at the time .
If Shen Liangchuan had not beaten him in the challenge, Su Penghao would have probably joined the King fighting team by now .
Qiao Lian grimaced and said, âPurple Fairy isnât as simple as you think . You just have to be more careful . â
Su Penghao rolled his eyes and said curtly, âI think youâre the one with ulterior motives, assuming the worst of everyone else . Purple Fairy is the gamer Xiao Qiao, and although I havenât had much contact with her in real life, with Xiao QiaoâŚâ
He paused at this point, then gave a cold humph and continued, âDonât worry, Iâm not that stupid! Okay, letâs start the match . â
With this said, he walked straight past Qiao Lian and went into the room . The Godfather gave Su Penghao a puzzled look and asked, âZombie Leader, itâs almost lunchtime, didnât you eat before coming back here?â
Su Penghao replied, âShe has a banquet to attend⌠Okay, Iâve just ordered some food . In the meantime we can play a match or two, letâs begin . â
Seeing that the team was going to start their training, Qiao Lian shook her head and sat down on the sofa . At this point her cell phone rang .
She looked down at the screen and realized it was⌠Fan Jie .
They had not been in contact since the time Shen Liangchuan had threatened him into not accepting her exclusive interview .
She wondered why he was calling her now .
She picked up the call and Fan Jieâs voice came from the other end, âSister-in-law, where are you?â
Qiao Lianâs eyes wandered around the room . âWhatâs up?ââWeâre having dinner . Would you like to join us?â
Qiao Lian paused for a moment . âIâm notââ
Before she could get past a few words, a deep voice came through, âWhere are you?â
âAt the teamâs villa,â Qiao Lian replied .
âOkay, Iâll come and get you . â
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment . âWhat? I donât think Iâll go . Why donât you go ahead? Iââ
âThatâll be all . âAfter those words, Shen Liangchuan hung up .
Twenty minutes later, Shen Liangchuan turned up at the teamâs villa .
After getting in the car, Qiao Lian realized that Fan Jie was in the backseat . The moment he saw her, he exclaimed, âMy sister-in-law, itâs been such a long time!â
Qiao Lian grimaced at the overly enthusiastic greeting . âI think it hasnât even been a month?â
Fan Jie sighed . âA day without meeting feels like three years, as the saying goes . So a month would feel like 90 years!â
Qiao Lian was speechless .
She turned to Shen Liangchuan and whispered, âWhat on earth are you guys up to?â
Shen Liangchuan replied calmly, âThereâs a gathering with friends and they insisted I bring myâŚâ
He paused, gave her a look and said pointedly, âSpouse . â
That word made her feel warm inside .
It seemed she had become Shen Liangchuanâs spouse .
She lowered her head to hide the huge, silly grin now spreading across her face .
Soon they arrived at a private restaurant . Shen Liangchuan parked the car and the three of them made their way into the private room .
This private gathering was indeed an all-star event, though there were only a few of them .
