Chapter 274: Su Qinghe’s Gossipy Heart?

“Blessed???”

“Is… is that the song you sang?”

Su Qinghe asked in a low voice.

“Mm… I think so. But it’s been adapted into a piano arrangement.”

Gu Yifan nodded.

That’s right!

The song the lounge singer was playing and singing was none other than “Blessed,” the one Gu Yifan had sung to Su Qinghe for the first time.

Neither of them had expected to hear someone perform this song here today, so for a moment, they were both very surprised.

Gu Yifan didn’t say anything, though. He’d never planned on collecting royalties when he first sang the song; after all, he was just the one who brought it into this world.

After the song was finished, the singer didn’t move on to another one. And so, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe stopped paying him any more mind.

The two chatted idly while listening to the background music.

“I heard from Baijie and the others today that Xiaomeng was nowhere to be seen all day yesterday. Rumor has it she went out with your classmate, Wang Shouyi. Do you know anything about that?”

Su Qinghe said suddenly.

“Oh, that. Yeah, I heard about it this morning.”

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

“So… have the two of them… taken that step?”

Su Qinghe asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Er…”

Gu Yifan chuckled and asked, “Su Hanhan, why are you suddenly so interested in their business?”

“Ah?”

Su Qinghe’s face flushed slightly as she said, a bit embarrassed, “I’m just curious. Xiaomeng is shy, and as for us girls, we can’t really press her for details!”

“Sigh~”

“Peng Shaoqiang and the guys asked me the same thing today!”

Gu Yifan reached out and gently tapped Su Qinghe’s nose. “You guys,” he said with feigned helplessness, “why are you all so nosy!”

“Er… so what did you say?”

Hearing this, the roaring flames of gossip ignited in Su Qinghe’s heart. She asked, her face a mask of curiosity.

‘This…’

‘Could it be that all women are born with a heart for gossip?’

‘Even my silly, sweet Su Qinghe is no exception!?’

Seeing Su Qinghe’s expression, practically waiting with a bowl of popcorn for the drama to unfold, this thought couldn’t help but flash through Gu Yifan’s mind.

“Alright, alright, look at how curious you are.”

“According to Wang Shouyi, he and Classmate Xiaomeng went to a nursing home yesterday to volunteer, visiting the lonely and homeless elderly.”

“Then it got too late for them to get back to campus, so they stayed the night somewhere else.”

Gu Yifan explained.

“Uh-huh?”

Seeing Gu Yifan pause, Su Qinghe prompted, “And then?”

“And then what??”

Gu Yifan replied with a blank look, “That’s it.”

“Er…”

“That’s all?”

“Nothing else?”

Su Qinghe stared with wide, curious eyes.

“Yeah, that’s right. Nothing else!”

Gu Yifan replied.

“That… and, um…”

Su Qinghe spoke, a little embarrassed. “So did they… you know…?”

“Hm??”

“‘You know’ what??”

“What is ‘you know’???”

Gu Yifan knew exactly what Su Qinghe meant, but he pretended not to, feigning ignorance.

“You know… *that*…”

Su Qinghe’s face instantly turned beet red as she spoke shyly.

“Uh-huh?”

Gu Yifan watched her with a teasing smirk.

Su Qinghe finally realized Gu Yifan was doing it on purpose!

“Hmph!”

“Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t, I’m going to get mad!”

Su Qinghe said, her cheeks flushed and puffed out in a cute pout.

“Hahaha…”

“Oh, my dear Su Hanhan, you’re just too adorable!”

Gu Yifan gently pinched Su Qinghe’s delicate cheek and said with a laugh.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you, okay?”

“According to Wang Shouyi, they just innocently spent the night out. Nothing happened…”

Gu Yifan said slowly.

“Oh, oh…”

“So that’s how it is!”

“I really thought they had… you know… done the deed!”

Su Qinghe said with a nod.

“You, Su Hanhan, since when did you get such a dirty mind?”

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Su Qinghe, then teased, “What on earth goes on in that little head of yours all day!”

“Hmph!”

Su Qinghe pouted, shot Gu Yifan a look, and retorted, “Well, I learned to be dirty-minded from you! Who else is always doing those naughty things to me!”

“Er…”

Gu Yifan said helplessly, “And now you’re blaming me for it?”

“Hmph!”

“I am blaming you!”

“If I don’t blame you, who else is there to blame?”

“There are only two of us here. I can’t possibly be wrong, so the one at fault must be you!”

Su Qinghe said, shamelessly and illogically.

Gu Yifan: “…”

Gu Yifan felt utterly defeated.

He didn’t dare say another word. He was afraid if he kept talking, he was going to get hit!

That pinch on the soft flesh of his waist was seriously, excruciatingly painful!

Even with Gu Yifan’s formidable physique, he couldn’t take it!

Just then, the waiter arrived with their food.

Gu Yifan quickly changed the subject.

“Su Hanhan, let’s eat. It won’t taste as good if it gets cold.”

Gu Yifan said, placing a piece of meat on Su Qinghe’s plate.

“Oh, okay.”

Su Qinghe was a total foodie. As soon as there was delicious food in front of her, she instantly forgot all about what had just happened!

She nodded, then began to eat, a blissful expression on her face!

“I travel all the way north, leaving the season of you behind…”

Halfway through their meal, Gu Yifan’s phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw it was a call from Li Wenyuan. Gu Yifan frowned slightly.

Li Wenyuan was the president of a company that partnered with Yihe Technology.

Calling him at this hour, it was probably about the investment matter.

They were originally scheduled to meet and discuss it this afternoon, but Gu Yifan had postponed it because he wanted to spend time with Su Qinghe.

He just hadn’t expected the man to call him directly.

After answering the call, Gu Yifan exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Wenyuan before they got down to business.

“President Gu, it’s like this. Regarding the two investment projects you proposed today, I’ve discussed them with the other leaders at my company. We feel that now isn’t a good opportunity for our Tianhong Group!”

Li Wenyuan said slowly over the phone.

Hearing this, Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow. ‘Looks like he’s determined to make me show weakness,’ he thought.

“President Li, what you mean is…?”

Gu Yifan asked, pretending not to understand.

“Well, we feel that becoming the chairman of Yihe Technology at such a young age, and with the company growing so rapidly, you have more than proven your business value.”

“And so?”

Gu Yifan asked with a slight frown.

“So, we hope that you, President Gu, will invest in one of the subsidiary companies under our Tianhong Group!”

Li Wenyuan said directly.

“Invest in a subsidiary?”

Gu Yifan repeated, feigning surprise.
