Chapter 634 — The Kissing Game

Was it aimed at Gu Mengyao, or at Shen Yushu?

On a personal level, Chen Yuxuan naturally hoped that the instructor and his little sister would end up together. That way, not only would it draw him closer to Wei Zhao, it would also serve the interests of the Chen family! Back then, Wei Zhao's skills had already reached the peak of the mid-Yellow rank, on the verge of breaking through to the late Yellow rank. Now, he was probably already at the late Yellow rank, wasn't he?

At least, Chen Yuxuan couldn't discern Wei Zhao's true strength! With that kind of ability, Wei Zhao was a rare bird among the younger generation of the great families. So if his little sister did marry him, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

An Liwen, meanwhile, was nursing an even worse headache. He hadn't expected that Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao had reached an agreement back in childhood to marry the same man one day. Wasn't that just making things difficult for him?

It looked like he'd have to think of a way to drive a wedge between Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao! It was imperative — otherwise, pursuing Gu Mengyao would become an impossible mission! Make Shen Yushu a concubine? An Liwen simply didn't dare.

For one thing, he couldn't withstand it. He only had one heart — and even if he was the head of an organ-trafficking ring, if his heart suddenly exploded, he wouldn't be able to find a replacement on short notice, would he? And even if he did find one, he'd long since be dead.

For another, Shen Yushu's background and status were more than he could bear. Never mind whether the Chen family would agree — Chen Yuxuan himself would never consent! The man who ended up with Shen Yushu would have to be either a son of one of the great families or a peerless master.

"All right, my turn to ask!" Shen Yushu paid no mind to what anyone else was thinking and hurriedly said to Gu Mengyao, "Sister Yaoyao, it's finally my turn to ask you. Here I go! Who was your first kiss? La la la, ha ha ha?"

The moment she finished asking, Shen Yushu couldn't help but start snickering slyly to herself.

"My first kiss?" Gu Mengyao frowned, and suddenly thought of Wei Zhao. Then, seeing Shen Yushu's sly grin, Gu Mengyao knew she was definitely up to no good. She didn't want to answer, but she didn't want to drink either — she'd already had quite a bit, and her head was still a little fuzzy. "I refuse to answer. I choose dare."

"Okay, okay! Sister Yaoyao, you're the second person to choose dare. I'm going to start giving out the challenge now!" Shen Yushu said excitedly. "Sister Yaoyao, I command you to go kiss Brother Chewing Gum!"

"!" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare. "I'm not going."

"Go on, your first kiss already went to Brother Chewing Gum anyway. One more won't hurt!" Shen Yushu said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao was furious, glaring viciously at Shen Yushu. "Have you had enough? You're going too far!"

"Oh, I don't think it's a big deal. Brother Chewing Gum has kissed me too, and I thought it was perfectly normal!" Shen Yushu said.

Sitting across from them, An Liwen's brow furrowed tightly. Gu Mengyao's first kiss had been Wei Zhao? Was that true or not? But judging from Gu Mengyao's expression, she seemed to have tacitly admitted it — because she hadn't refuted it. She'd only asked whether Xiaoshu had had enough and said she was going too far!

And then there was Shen Yushu's earlier question — she'd asked who Gu Mengyao's first kiss was, and Gu Mengyao had refused to answer rather than saying "no one." That meant Gu Mengyao definitely had had a first kiss; she simply didn't want to answer! Otherwise, why not just say "no one" and be done with it?

Could it be that Gu Mengyao really had something going on with Wei Zhao? An Liwen's expression turned extremely ugly. And then he heard Shen Yushu say that her kissing partner was also Wei Zhao. Could it be that these three, living under the same roof, had really had something happen?

At that moment, An Liwen wanted to flip the table over. He was furious beyond measure! This Wei Zhao had actually helped himself to the goods while guarding the store — and he'd played An Liwen for a fool, claiming to be tipping him off while in truth stealing the young ladies from right under his nose at home! An Liwen felt an urge to kill Wei Zhao!

Chen Yuxuan, too, was rather surprised. Wei Zhao had kissed his little sister? And apparently Gu Mengyao as well? What exactly was the relationship between these three? Was Wei Zhao still just a follower?

But though Chen Yuxuan was puzzled, he didn't think there was anything improper about it. After all, Wei Zhao was at Gu Mengyao's side, and Gu Pengzhan couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Since Gu Pengzhan hadn't said anything, could there be some hidden story behind all this?

In fact, if his little sister could marry Wei Zhao, Chen Yuxuan wouldn't object — on the contrary, he'd be rather pleased. That had been his thinking all along. It was just that now Gu Mengyao had been added to the mix. But as long as his little sister was willing, Chen Yuxuan wouldn't say much.

"All right, Xiaoshu, stop joking around." Seeing that Gu Mengyao was about to explode, Wei Zhao spoke up to bail her out. "This game is for you all to play. I'm just a bystander, so the dare has nothing to do with me. Why don't you give Yaoyao a different dare?"

"All right, let's call it a day!" An Liwen could no longer hold back. He wished he could kill Wei Zhao right then and there, but with Chen Yuxuan and Su Taizao present, he didn't show it outright. Still, he would absolutely never sit at the same table with Wei Zhao again.

With that, An Liwen stood up and left the private room without a backward glance. Su Taizao glanced at Chen Yuxuan but said nothing, then ran out after An Liwen. Chen Yuxuan gave a cold laugh. The friendship of the Four Young Masters of Songshan would vanish like smoke after tonight's dinner.

What remained was simply the private friendship between An Liwen and Su Taizao.

Chen Yuxuan had other business that evening. Much as he would have liked to return to the villa with Shen Yushu and ask her about Wei Zhao, he feared Wei Zhao might take offense. After some thought, he decided to let things take their natural course. Since Wei Zhao had already become a follower of his little sister and Yaoyao, there was no need to rush.

At the hotel entrance, Chen Yuxuan parted ways with Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao. As he left, he cast a look of reverence at Wei Zhao, but saw that Wei Zhao was not looking at him at all; instead, like a hired driver, Wei Zhao had brought Gu Mengyao's Audi 5 around and was waiting for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to get in.

There was nothing for it. Chen Yuxuan waved to Shen Yushu, said a few words urging her to take care, and departed. He had meant to remind Wei Zhao to be wary of An Liwen, for An Liwen was not a magnanimous man by nature, and today's events had cost him considerable face. He would surely seek revenge.

But then he thought of Wei Zhao's strength and skill, and his warning seemed rather superfluous. Chen Yuxuan shook his head and left.

Wei Zhao drove Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the direction of the villa.
