Chapter 388: Chapter 388

When Ling Momo found out about this news, it had already been two days since she returned to City X. She was so exhausted that she slept straight through for forty-eight hours, forgetting about hunger and thirst. When she woke up, it happened to be the wee hours of Li Qingshen’s birthday and she couldn’t sleep. So, she casually browsed the internet for news and came to know about it.

Ling Momo scrolled through the news as if just to pass time, and when she saw the impressive achievements of Chen Wanru and the endless praises she received, she was especially happy in her heart.

She and Chen Wanru had unknowingly become close friends.

However, for Ling Momo, Chen Wanru was also her benefactor.

She had helped her many times.

Therefore, for Chen Wanru, she held nothing but complete blessings.

But for another piece of news about Lu Niange and Jian Chenxi, her interest was lacking and she seemed utterly indifferent. Seeing the comments of blessings below, Ling Momo just smirked and casually shut down the computer. This content belongs to novｅlfire.net

Checking the time, it was only a little past three in the morning, and since she couldn’t sleep, she cooked something to eat, turned on the TV, and watched an American blockbuster movie.

Ling Momo thought about the dinner she had arranged with Li Qingshen at eight-thirty that evening and deliberately set an alarm out of sleepiness.

**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**·**

"Imperial Palace" suite.

It wasn’t even eight o’clock yet, and everyone except Ling Momo had already arrived.

As Li Qingshen didn’t like social functions, this so-called birthday gathering was indeed just a friends’ dinner, as Su Chen had said.

To count, there were Bao Chongchong, Xi Jianjin, Qin Sheng, Su Chen, Yi Qian, Yi Xihuan, You Yi, plus Li Qingshen, and the yet-to-arrive Ling Momo—just nine people.

The time was set for eight-thirty. Since everyone arrived early, they couldn’t just sit idle, so they found some fun activities. Some played mahjong like Qin Sheng, Su Chen, Li Qingshen, and You Yi. Naturally, playing the cat-and-mouse game were Bao Chongchong and Xi Jianjin. As for behaving as if nobody else mattered, it was Yi Qian and Yi Xihuan.

In short, the atmosphere inside the suite was harmonious.

Time trickled by, and it was quickly eight-thirty, yet Ling Momo still hadn’t arrived. Li Qingshen was playing cards while obviously becoming somewhat distracted. At eight-thirty-five, the manager of the "Imperial Palace" came up and knocked on the door, asking if they should start serving the dishes. Li Qingshen shook his head and said, "Let’s wait a little longer."

"Hey, who is it that has our great young master of the Li Family waiting so patiently!" Qin Sheng joked with a cigarette in his mouth, blowing smoke rings as he played cards, "Three of clubs!"

"Pung!" Su Chen drew a card, played a card, "Nine of bamboos, who else could it be! Naturally, the lady!"

"Which family’s daughter has so much charm that she’s got our young master of the Li Family completely enthralled?" You Yi drew a card, pondered for a while, and said, "Six of characters."

Actually, everyone present knew very well; they were just teasing each other.

Li Qingshen remained calm and continued playing his cards.

"Rumor has it, the lady is in her twenties!" Qin Sheng leaned on the chair, playing with one hand and loosely hanging the other, looking every bit the playboy, his voice in that unique sneering tone, "Four of characters!"

[Qin Sheng, what a tease, such a tease~~ The story of Bao Chongchong and Xi Jianjin has concluded: The Playboy’s Hundred-Day Bride. I don’t know why, but I only feel inspired to write late at night when it’s quiet...*sigh*....]
