Shang Yechu frowned, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. "Xiao Gu, I need to use the restroom. You guys go ahead, I'll take my assistant's car back later."
Shang Yechu's bodyguards, assistants, and agent followed in two other cars.
"It's so late, isn't this too unsafe?" Gu Wenhua was rubbing his temples when he heard this, so he stopped and looked at Shang Yechu. "I'll wait for you."
"What's unsafe about this?" Shang Yechu felt a strange sensation. Knowing that Gu Wenhua was interested in her, dumping him to go on a date felt...too weird.
It's taboo for celebrities to date during their career's rise, and Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi's situation is even more special, requiring even stricter vigilance. Aside from Ji Juntao, their assistant, and Luo Yao, no one else in the world knows about Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi's relationship. Therefore, despite feeling extremely awkward and embarrassed, Shang Yechu couldn't possibly tell Gu Wenhua the truth.
When his excuse to pee failed, Shang Yechu quickly adjusted his strategy, feigning helplessness: "Okay, to tell you the truth, I have to go see a friend."
Gu Wenhua was taken aback: "What friend?"
Gu Wenhua knew Shang Yechu very well. These past few days, the entire "Happiness Street" crew had been incredibly busy. Under such circumstances, for Shang Yechu to still make time to meet with someone was truly special to her—even extremely important!
To use an imperfect analogy, it's like the difference between a rich person's 100 dollars and a beggar's 100 dollars.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Wenhua quickly remembered today's date, and his face paled slightly: "This, I'm sorry, Ye Chu... I didn't mean that."
He was currently positioned next to Ye Chu in the "old friends" section. He had absolutely no right to ask that question. But he was also unwilling to remain silent and watch Ye Chu spend Valentine's Day without asking anything. So he could only awkwardly stand there, staring at Ye Chu.
The atmosphere in the car became extremely awkward. Shang Yechu's heart sank when she saw Gu Wenhua's expression.
She had rejected Gu Wenhua long ago. But while Shang Yechu could control her own actions, she couldn't control other people's hearts. She had already done her best; she couldn't simply cut off all ties with Gu Wenhua, threatening to kill herself and sever all ties the moment he got close.
It was already 11:10. Shang Yechu was sweating profusely, wondering how to get Gu Wenhua to leave on his own without revealing their relationship.
Is she going to fabricate a fictitious boyfriend? That's just as troublesome as directly revealing their relationship!
Don't let Gu Wenhua's shy appearance fool you; someone who can direct films like "The Mute Woman" and "Happiness Street" is no fool. Shang Yechu's mind raced, and suddenly an idea struck her.
“It’s like this,” Shang Yechu cleared her throat, “President Ji saw that I was under a lot of pressure, so he hired a few male models to do striptease for me.”
Gu Wenhua: "..."
Shang Yechu took out her phone and, from afar, found a high-definition picture of a male model that she had recently found to verify her sexual orientation, and waved it in front of Gu Wenhua.
“Look, these are the two,” Shang Yechu said. “Besides me, there are two other sisters, the ones who were filming with me in Xiatan a few days ago. I think I mentioned it to you, right? This is a sisters' event. Of course, if you want to see them, you can come with me.”
Given Ji Juntao's womanizing ways, he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
It turned out that President Ji had ordered a bunch of playthings for Ye Chu, and Gu Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, these people were all fast-moving consumer goods, not on the same level as him and Ye Chu. He could order a thousand of them without any problem.
"I'm not going." Gu Wenhua waved his hand with a wry smile. "My head still hurts. I'll go back first then. Ye Chu, have fun."
