Chapter 2401
Shen Weifang, who was not far away, also witnessed this.
With a smile on his thin lips, Shen Weifang swayed the wine glass in his hand with a half-smile. It seemed that there would be drama in Deer City!
...
After leaving the party, Gu Lichen said to Ling Yiran, "Where do you live now? I'll send you back."
Ling Yiran rejected and said, "No thanks. If you send me back and someone takes a photo of us, there’ll be a lot of rumors.”
His dark phoenix eyes gazed at the person in front of him. "Are you afraid that Yi Jinli will misunderstand you?"
She met his eyes and replied gently, "Yes."
She spoke so straightforwardly and frankly. She did it so openly and naturally.
Gu Lichen had a faint feeling of jealousy.
He had told himself many times that he had no right to be jealous because he was the one who missed his chance. He did not grasp it when he had it.
"If he loves you and trusts you, he won't misunderstand," murmured Gu Lichen.
"I don't care if he’ll misunderstand, but at the very least, I don't want to do something that will cause him to misunderstand," said Ling Yiran as she looked into Gu Lichen's deep phoenix eyes.
He still looked at her with longing and love. She knew he had not moved on.
Maybe some things would take time to move on from. It was obvious that it had not been long enough.
Just then, a car had slowly driven up to Ling Yiran. The driver got down and greeted Ling Yiran respectfully before opening the door to the backseat.
It was the car that Ling Yiran had arranged to pick her up. The driver had stopped nearby. He drove over when he saw Ling Yiran walking out of the party venue.
Ling Yiran said to Gu Lichen, "Goodbye, Lichen."
"Wait!" Gu Lichen suddenly shouted as he reached out his hand to stop her. "Were you trying to get close to Zhang Yaer tonight?"
Ling Yiran froze and looked at Gu Lichen in surprise. She did not expect him to be so perceptive that he could see that Zhang Yaer was her goal tonight.
As soon as Gu Lichen saw Ling Yiran's expression, he knew he was right. "I don't care why you want to get close to Zhang Yaer, but I can be your stepping stone and help you get to her."
"What?" Ling Yiran was in a trance when Gu Lichen looked past her and toward another direction.
Ling Yiran followed his gaze and saw Zhang Yaer and Gong Beicheng coming out of the party venue. They saw her and Gu Lichen and were walking toward them.
"Mr. Gu, I hope I can have a chance to talk with you more about the new project you’re starting. My husband and I are interested in it," said Zhang Yaer as she walked forward.
Gu Lichen smiled indifferently, "Alright. Yiran is a fan of your past films, Miss Zhang. I hope we can talk when we have the time. I think Yiran will be elated if you're making a comeback, Miss Zhang."
"Really?" Zhang Yaer's gaze fell on Ling Yiran.
