Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 835: Sneaking a Meeting

Sheng Tang chatted with Gu Shiting for a few minutes, and it was about time. To prevent her family from getting suspicious, she told him to head back quickly.

"Then, see you on the second day of the new year," Gu Shiting said.

Sheng Tang agreed.

She ran all the way back home from the neighborhood gate, her face warm and flushed, causing her parents to suspect nothing.

Feeling guilty, Sheng Tang went to take a shower first.

While she was showering, the phone rang several times, all calls were from Gu Jiahui.

No one answered.

After showering, Sheng Tang called him back.

"Happy New Year," Sheng Tang said, "How are you doing at your aunt’s place?"

"Pretty good." There was a hint of relaxation in Gu Jiahui’s voice, different from when they spoke the previous year, "Do you want to come over tomorrow?"

"Is it necessary?" Sheng Tang hesitated.

Gu Jiahui stayed silent on the other end.

Then he said, "Not really necessary. Never mind, you don’t have to come."

Sheng Tang: "..."

After hanging up, Sheng Tang felt that he was angry. She was just asking and wasn’t really set on not going.

Going to his aunt’s house meant pretending and deceiving many people.

Sheng Tang often acted, but she didn’t want to mix her life with acting.

She glanced at her phone, thinking to just let it be.

On the second day of the new year, the whole Sheng family went out.

Her parents were visiting friends; Senior Brother Dazhou was taking his wife and kids to visit his in-laws; Sheng Zong was taking grandpa home, and the two planned to go abroad again.

Sheng Tang seized the chance to tell her parents that she was going to a classmate’s house.

She didn’t say which classmate, and her parents didn’t ask.

During the new year, there were very few people, making it hard even to find a taxi. Still, Sheng Tang wore sunglasses and a mask, bundling up so much that even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her.

She called Gu Shiting.

Gu Shiting told her to wait for a moment; he would come to pick her up soon.

Sheng Tang agreed.

She waited by the roadside for a while.

Some people looked at her, but only because she was wrapped up too tightly, not because they recognized her.

Gu Shiting arrived quickly.

Once in the car, Sheng Tang still didn’t take off her mask and sunglasses.

"Are you cold?" Gu Shiting asked her.

Although a big sun was out today, the wind was still biting and icy.

Winters in S City are always damp and cold.

Sheng Tang’s toes were a bit numb.

"Not bad," she replied casually.

The car reached Gu Shiting’s apartment; inside was warm, and Sheng Tang could even smell the familiar aroma of meat from the kitchen, it seemed like pork trotters were being stewed.

Gu Shiting handed slippers to Sheng Tang and assured her, "Don’t worry, it’s not greasy at all, I promise you won’t gain weight from it."

Sheng Tang chuckled.

Gu Shiting let her sit in the living room to watch TV.

After taking off the slippers and sitting cross-legged, Gu Shiting resumed his work in the kitchen.

Moments later, the doorbell rang.

Sheng Tang knew Zhou Yu had arrived and immediately got up to open the door.

As expected, it was Zhou Yu.

He carried fruit and milk in his hands, smiling brightly at Sheng Tang, "You got here earlier than us."

Sheng Tang: "I just arrived too. You even brought gifts?"

"Can you show up empty-handed during the new year?" Zhou Yu laughed and then entered the apartment.

Someone else followed behind him.

Sheng Tang was slightly surprised to find it was Qin Lin.

She was quite taken aback, "You..."

"What about me?" Qin Lin frowned, "Can’t recognize me? Big star, huh?"

Sheng Tang: "..."

This was infuriating, right? She was minding her own business and yet got rebuked for nothing.

How come after six or seven years, he was still the same?

"When did you return to the country?" Sheng Tang asked again.

Qin Lin replied grudgingly, "I came back in April, but your phone was unreachable. How dare you ask?"

"What did I say to make you so grumpy?" Sheng Tang smiled in good humor, "My phone doesn’t take calls from strangers, why didn’t you send a text?"

Zhou Yu put down the fruit and said to Sheng Tang and Qin Lin standing at the door, "Aren’t you guys cold blocking the doorway arguing? Come in quickly."
