Chapter 309 Pretending Nothing Happened



These sisters are great friends; she's truly dedicated to bringing couples together.

Yan Shaoqin paused in his drinking, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This Miss Jiang seems to be quite enthusiastic and proactive with everyone she meets.

Xu Zezhan snapped out of his daze and noticed the gaze of the person next to him. He smiled and said, "I'm already at home, so I'm sorry, it's not convenient to add other girls on WeChat."

Jiang Xun, however, was not about to let it go: "I didn't realize Mr. Xu was married so young. Is your wife as good-looking as me?"

Xu Zezhan maintained his polite and courteous smile: "We're not getting married yet; I'm currently pursuing him."

Jiang Xun glanced at Gu Bai, who was drinking one sip after another, his fingers gripping the glass so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his face was sullen.

Jiang Xun: "Oh, so you didn't succeed. That means I still have a chance."

Liang Muchuan suddenly interrupted, "Wait, Xu Zezhan, when did you find someone you like? Did your trip abroad suddenly make you see the light?"

You know, when they went out together in the past, Xu Zezhan and Fu Wenzhou were the least fun.

Aside from drinking, he never even glances at women.

But Fu Wenzhou has Song Qingyou in his heart, while Xu Zezhan is just an old monk.

He is gentle and polite to everyone, and it's impossible to tell what kind of person he likes.

Liang Muchuan even suspected that he was impotent or that he was not sexually attracted to women.

Upon hearing that Xu Zezhan was interested, it was as if an old iron tree had blossomed—a truly rare sight. Intrigued, they immediately bombarded Xu Zezhan with questions: "To catch your eye, Young Master Xu, she must be no ordinary person. What does she look like? What's her personality like? Which family's daughter is she from? Have we met her yet?"

No one noticed that Gu Bai, standing to the side, was stiff all over, a hint of tension flashing in his eyes.

Xu Zezhan took a sip of his drink and chuckled, "He's quite extraordinary. He's good-looking, but his personality isn't great. He has a bit of a temper and he's always yelling at me or hitting me..."

Under the table, Gu Bai suddenly pressed down on his leg and gave it a sharp pinch as a warning.

Xu Zezhan paused, then lowered his eyes to conceal the emotions within.

Liang Muchuan, having only heard half of it, still couldn't picture what kind of woman Xu Zezhan liked. Scratching his head in curiosity, he asked, "Tell me, why did you stop?"

Gu Bai said irritably, "What's it to you? Drink your wine."

Liang Muchuan chuckled immediately: "I didn't ask you, why are you in such a hurry? But..." He drawled out his words, his eyes constantly glancing at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai's hands clenched into fists under the table. "Why should I be in such a hurry? This is his private matter. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Liang Muchuan looked like he suddenly realized something: "Oh, I know, you're jealous."

Gu Bai: "...?"

Others: "..."

Gu Bai gritted his teeth, "Are you fucking sick?! Why would I be jealous? Liang Muchuan is nobody to me!"

"Hey, that's hurtful to say. Everyone knows you and Liang Muchuan are so close you're practically inseparable. Look at your temper... Speaking of temper, Xu Zezhan, do you have a particular fondness for people with bad tempers?" Liang Muchuan reacted as if he had discovered a new continent. "You see, the person you like has a bad temper, and your best friend has such a bad temper too. Are you a masochist?"

Gu Bai, unusually, showed no reaction and continued drinking.

Xu Zezhan pushed the wine glass towards Liang Muchuan's side: "Let's drink."

At the bar, Yan Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Liang Muchuan seems quite clever, so why is he so confused about the matter at hand?

She really wanted to ask if it was possible that the person Xu Zezhan liked and his best friend were the same person?

Jiang Xun spoke to Xu Zezhan in an ambiguous manner, while Gu Bai drank one glass after another, seemingly unconcerned, but his eyes were constantly glancing coldly at Jiang Xun.

Finally, after Jiang Xun's persistent pleading, Xu Zezhan added her on WeChat.

Yan Miao sat to the side, munching on sunflower seeds and watching the show.

"I have something to do, I'm leaving now." Gu Bai stood up abruptly, ignoring the reactions of those around him, and strode out.

Liang Muchuan yelled at his retreating back, "Hey, you've only had a few drinks! You can't play like this..."

Gu Bai's figure had already disappeared through the doorway.

Liang Muchuan withdrew his gaze, raised his wine glass and clinked it with Xu Zezhan's, saying with a sympathetic look, "Gu Bai's temper is just spoiled. By the way, why didn't you chase after him?"

Normally, whenever Gu Bai was unhappy or threw a tantrum, Xu Zezhan would be the first to chase after him, so it's no wonder Liang Muchuan was surprised.

Xu Zezhan didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with his.
