Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Are You Free Tonight_1

Gong Xiaoqiao had just sat down when her phone rang.

It was Shen Letian.

"Little Fox, are you free tonight?"

"What? Are you inviting me to another singles party?"

Shen Letian coughed, "Unless I have a death wish! This time it’s not a singles party, it’s a farewell party!"

"Farewell party? Who are we saying goodbye to?"

"Tang Yu, of course."

"Tang Yu? Where is Tang Yu going?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked with some surprise.

"Ah! It’s all your fault! Tang Yu, feeling dejected, volunteered to move to the newly opened branch in Milan! It’ll probably be three to five years before he comes back!" Shen Letian sighed.

"No way! He’s willing to leave Xiao Jing?" Gong Xiaoqiao was somewhat amazed.

"I told you, he’s heartbroken and shattered!" Shen Letian sighed, "Anyway, just come over! Otherwise, you won’t see him again!"

"Okay, I got it, I’ll be there."

"And... do you have any news about Brother?" Just as he was about to hang up, Shen Letian hesitated and called out to her.

"What is it?"

"Haven’t seen him for a day and a night, don’t know where he went, still don’t know if he’ll make it tonight," Shen Letian muttered.

"Oh." Gong Xiaoqiao didn’t mention Gu Hangshen was there, "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Cough, wait, that, Little Fox, don’t ignore Brother! After all these years, you’re not unaware of his temper! Just coax him and it’ll be fine!"

"I know." Gong Xiaoqiao hung up the phone.

Gu Hangshen, sick as he was, could he even attend a farewell party?

Besides, he never liked to show his weak and embarrassed side in front of others!

Half an hour later, Gu Hangshen still hadn’t come out.

A grown man, taking so long to shower?

Gong Xiaoqiao walked over and knocked on the door, but when there was no response, she immediately pushed the door open and went inside.

Then she saw Gu Hangshen leaning against the bathtub, asleep inside.

Gong Xiaoqiao squatted next to the bathtub, intending to wake him up, yet she saw his expression suddenly change into one of urgent distress and helplessness as if he were enduring some agony.

Was he having a nightmare? She hadn’t expected Gu Hangshen to have nightmares!

"Gu Hangshen..." she called to him.

He suddenly seized her wrist and opened his eyes, his pupils filled with frightening ferocity.

Gong Xiaoqiao was startled and stared at him.

Once he recognized the person before him, the hostility in his eyes gradually faded, "What is it?"

"You fell asleep in the bath, so I came to wake you. Were you having a nightmare just now?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked.

"No."

He lied without the slightest blush or twitch, Gong Xiaoqiao shrugged, "Do you need help getting dressed?"

"No need." His attitude suddenly turned cold again.

Gong Xiaoqiao sighed softly, even if she was burning with passion, how could she withstand his immediate freezing disposition!

"Alright then, call me if you need help." Gong Xiaoqiao didn’t insist and walked out, but before leaving, she caught a glimpse of the scars on his waist beneath the water and something flashed across her mind, though she couldn’t grasp it.

She had asked out of curiosity before, and he said it was just a careless burn from when he was a child being naughty.

However, she just couldn’t imagine Gu Hangshen being naughty as a child.

－

After a while, Gu Hangshen came out of the bathroom, drying his hair.

Gong Xiaoqiao was looking for clothes to wear that evening in the wardrobe.

"Tang Yu is leaving for Milan. There’s a farewell party tonight, are you going?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked.

Gu Hangshen sat on the bed, speechless, his expression distant as if he was lost in thought, leaving it unclear whether he heard her words or not.
