Shi Qian no longer rejected him. She had never been polite to Jiang Ci.
Shi Qian went to the first floor a moment later.
âYan Yi, have you seen Master Zhan?â
âMiss Qianqian, Master Zhan just went to the Intelligence Department,â Yan Yi replied.
âIntelligence department. I understand,â Shi Qian nodded.
Then, she left the villa.
Shi Qian did not go to the Intelligence Department to look for Shang Sizhan. Instead, she sat on a bench in the courtyard and waited for him.
She told him she would attend a gathering in the afternoon and might be back late.
As she waited, she looked at the group chat on her phone.
The five groups of people who had not been active for a long time suddenly became active.
Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe no longer tagged her in the group when they found she was Mu Youming. They would call her directly or tell her in person.
The last time they were active was when they knew that everyone knew that Mu Youming was the founder of Absolute Subversion. They chatted until midnight.
As for the other two, they still complained about how hard it was for her to hide it from them.
They asked her whether she was a boy or a girl.
Sheng Xu spoke before she could answer. âHeâs a man,â and even said they met already.
Shi Qian did not explain this matter afterward.
Only [Iâm At The Peak] and [Traceless] strongly reacted to her participation in the gathering.
[Iâm at the Peak] was the first to send a message.
[Iâm At The Peak: F*ck! Two years! Mu Youming, are you finally going to appear?]
[Mu Youming: Yes, I happened to have time recently.]
[Iâm At The Peak: Why didnât you say so earlier? I wouldnât have come overseas if I had known youâd attend!]
[Mu Youming: You went overseas?]
[Iâm At the Peak: (Sent a disappointed emoji).]
[Iâm At the Peak: Yeah. I have something to deal with.]
[Traceless: (Immediately sent a shocked emoji!)]
[Traceless: F*ck! Iâm not in Hillford! I thought you wouldnât come like before!]
Shi Qian was at a loss for words.
[Super Handsome Blasts the Universe: What do you two mean? If Mu Youming hadnât come, you would have stood him up! Now youâre saying you canât.]
Sheng Xuâs words werenât right. The two of them quickly explained.
Relatives would come with sorts of excuses to get married if something happened.
Sheng Xu didnât listen to their explanation at all.
Then, he sent another message. [Super Handsome Blasts the Universe: Donât ever appear again!]
[Iâm the Peak:â¦]
[Traceless:â¦]
Why did it feel like he was [Super Handsome Blasts the Universe]?
That was not his attitude towards Mu Youming!
Shi Qian looked at the screen and smiled.
At this moment, Shang Sizhanâs voice suddenly sounded in her ear. âQianqian.â
Shi Qian immediately looked up with a smile when she heard someone call her name. âMaster Zhan, youâre back.â
Shang Sizhan looked down at her phone and walked towards her. âWho are you chatting with? Why are you so happy?â
Shi Qian looked down at the screen before she stood up and replied. âThe people in the game group. Oh, right, Master Zhan, I want to tell you something.â
âWhat?â Shang Sizhan stopped in front of her.
âUh⦠This afternoon, I want to attend a gathering of Absolute Subversion friends. Iâll probably be back late, so you donât have to wait for me for dinner.â âWhere is the gathering?â Shang Sizhan asked.
âA club called Dreamtime,â Shi Qian replied.
Shang Sizhan pondered. He said, âNo drinking.â
âAh?â Shi Qian looked at him in a daze. âMy alcohol tolerance isnât that bad now.â
Shang Sizhan didnât say anything. His dark eyes stared at her. He did not blink.
The pressure was immediate. Shi Qian knew he meant what he said. She couldnât drink. She laughed dryly and said, âAlright! I wonât drink it. I wonât drink a single sip..â
