Chapter 38 - Cocktail Party

"Gu Han, it's Song Qing."

It was song Qing's call. Gu Han was a little disappointed. "Yes, Song Qing, what's the matter?"

"Gu Han, did you come back from your business trip? My art exhibition was very successful. My father has arranged a cocktail party for me. Can I invite you to join us?" Song Qing's hopeful voice came through the phone.

Gu Han really wanted to reject her. "Song Qing, I'm sorry. I'm not really... Okay, I'll be there on time."

Song Qing didn't care why Gu Han had suddenly agreed when he was about to reject her. "Okay, Gu Han, then you must come. I'll wait for you."

"Okay." Gu Han hung up the phone and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

He didn't want to go at first, but Bai Qing hadn't contacted him these days, so he couldn't help but want to test whether Bai Qing really didn't care about his and Song Qing's interactions.

Su Liang hadn't had a good time these days, either.

Since the day they parted on bad terms at the movie with Li Pei and Chen Yan, Li Pei seemed to have noticed something and began to treat Su Liang coldly.

Su Liang didn't know how to explain their relationship, so she could only rack her brains to repair her relationship with Li Pei.

On this day, she wasn't too busy at work, so she wanted to treat Li Pei to dinner. "Let's have dinner together tonight, Li Pei. Don't you want to eat barbecue?"

"I don't have time." Li Pei looked at Su Liang and said.

"Li Pei, what's wrong? Don't you like barbecue the most?" Su Liang had been mentally prepared to be rejected, so she didn't give up and asked.

"Yes, I really want to eat barbecue, but that depends on who I go with. If Chen Yan goes, then I will definitely go too." Li Pei said this on purpose. In fact, she knew Su Liang's character. It was just that she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Su Liang felt a bit awkward listening to Li Pei's words. After all, she hadn't contacted Chen Yan since they parted on bad terms that day.

"Chen Yan? Chen Yan might not have time," Su Liang said in a low voice.

"Then forget it. Let's have dinner another day." After saying that, Li Pei turned around and walked further away from Su Liang.

Su Liang looked at Li Pei and sighed. She picked up her phone and thought about it for a long time before sending a message to Chen Yan. "Chen Yan, are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner with Li Pei?"

She didn't expect Chen Yan to reply so quickly. It was as if he had been waiting for Su Liang's invitation. "Sure, I'm free. My friend has a party tonight, so I can take you around."

Su Liang looked at Chen Yan's reply and suddenly felt that she had done something wrong again. However, she had already sent the message, so it would be inappropriate to pull back.

"Li Pei, there's a party tonight, and Chen Yan wants to take us with him. Do you want to go?" Su Liang said to Li Pei while holding her phone.

"Of course, why not? Su Liang, you're so useful." Li Pei couldn't help but twitch her lips.

She had already asked Chen Yan out several times. Every time, he would say that he didn't have time, but once Su Liang made an appointment, he would immediately have time. What did he mean by that? If she still couldn't see through it, she would be too stupid.

Su Liang saw that Li Pei finally agreed to go out. Although it was because of Chen Yan, at least it gave her a chance to repair the relationship.

"That's great, Li Pei. Then we can go together tonight." Su Liang took two steps forward and held Li Pei's shoulder excitedly.

Li Pei saw that Su Liang didn't mind her attitude just now. On the contrary, he saw that Su Liang was elated that she had agreed, so she didn't say anything unpleasant.

When it was the agreed time in the evening, Chen Yan came early to pick up Su Liang and Li Pei.

Su Liang sat in the car and felt a little awkward when she saw Chen Yan's unperturbed look and smiling as he greeted her.

Li Pei, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and still chatted enthusiastically with Chen Yan.

Su Liang could only try her best to treat herself as an outsider and did not speak much.

The car soon stopped outside the hotel where the party would be held tonight.

Chen Yan had been to this place many times. After parking the car, he led them through the hall and arrived at the banquet hall of the party tonight.

"Wow, this place is too high-end. There are so many handsome guys here," Li Pei whispered to Su Liang.
