After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 99

When I met Gu Jinhuai's gaze, the astonishment in my eyes lingered for a long time. Faced with so many people's teasing voices, my first instinct was to get out of his arms.

But the large hand restraining my waist wouldn't allow me to do that.

Just then, the door opened, and Song Yuyan's disdainful gaze fell on me, but when she saw my ambiguous posture with Gu Jinhuai, a venomous and jealous look flashed in her eyes.

However, due to Gu Jinhuai's presence and Song Yuzhou's warning, she suppressed her anger, but her gaze towards me was filled with displeasure.

I watched as Song Yuyan acted like she knew everyone in the private room well and could talk to them all. It seemed like she was a regular at the club.

Noticing my gaze, Song Yuyan raised her chin slightly, looking smug, as if to say: See, I know all these people.

I looked away speechlessly for a moment, and then a glass of orange juice was handed to me. I stared at the well-defined fingers, and my gaze slowly moved upwards, only to meet Gu Jinhuai's dark, deep, smiling eyes.

"Drink."

I pursed my lips, but in the end I reached out and took it, though I didn't drink it.

Gu Jinhuai was brainless when he saw it.

"Sitting like this is so boring, let's play a game instead."

As soon as Song Yuyan's clear voice rang out, several people around her echoed, "That's right."

"How about truth or dare?"

Following the group of people, Song Yuyan turned her gaze to me, her tone somewhat sarcastic: "I'm afraid some people won't dare to play?"

Instantly, everyone's gaze followed Song Yuyan to me. I smiled faintly, toying with the cup in my hand, looking at Song Yuyan with a half-smile.

The latter inexplicably felt that although her eyes were smiling, they also had a sharp edge.

In an instant, Song Yuyan felt a cold sweat rise up her back.

"I won't."

It’s not that I don’t dare, but that I don’t know how.

Song Yuyan's smile froze for a moment, then she continued, "What are you afraid of? I don't know how either. It's very easy to learn."

Seeing that Gu Jinhuai didn't speak, Siwei, who was standing to the side, showed a strange smile: "You'll get it after playing one round."

“That’s right, Zhou Nanzhi, you’re a top student. It’s just a game, you can definitely learn it.”

Song Yuyan hurriedly continued Siwei's words, as if afraid that I would refuse.

I gazed at her quietly, my voice as melodious as a clear spring: "If I were to refuse, it wouldn't be right, Miss Song. How shall we play?"

"There are fifteen cards here, including two Jokers, one high and one low. Whoever draws a pair can ask the other a question. How about it, Zhou Nanzhi? Do you dare?"

Before I could speak, Gu Jinhuai's impatient voice rang out: "Boring!"

Song Yuyan looked slightly embarrassed. Song Yuzhou, who was standing next to me, smiled and said, "It's just a game. If President Gu is bored, he can go over and have a smoke."

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt the air around me suddenly turn colder. I shivered instinctively and instinctively looked back for something warm. When I realized that the person behind me was Gu Jinhuai, my expression changed slightly, and I quickly sat up.

"Lean on me if you want, I don't mind!"

Suddenly, Gu Jinhuai leaned close to my ear and whispered, but his gaze was provocatively fixed on Song Yuzhou across from him. The latter still had a smile on his face, but the fingers on the sofa tightened.

"To be fair, you two should separate, otherwise people will think you're conjoined twins!"

Song Yuyan smiled at me, and everyone else's eyes also fell on the two of us. A slight awkwardness crossed my face, but I was very grateful for what she said.

"Let go now."

I spoke in a low voice, and thankfully Gu Jinhuai didn't make things difficult this time. He obediently let go, and I got up and sat down next to him, but there was a hand's width between us.

Gu Jinhuai looked at the middle position and moved closer to me, opening his knees. I glanced at him, pursed my lips, and didn't move.

"here we go."

Song Yuyan had a smile on her face. The table had been cleared away, except for an empty bottle. She flicked her wrist slightly, and after letting go, the bottle spun rapidly. Eventually, it slowed down and eventually stopped next to me.

Suddenly, everyone was eager to try, and all eyes were on Gu Jinhuai.

This brought a smile to Song Yuyan's face as she sat opposite Gu Jinhuai. She was determined to make Zhou Nanzhi back down. He only liked her sister, or at the very least, her. How could he possibly like an ordinary person like her who hadn't even graduated yet?

“Truth or dare?”

Song Yuyan opened her almond-shaped eyes and asked impatiently.

"big Adventure."

Gu Jinhuai answered readily, but this answer caught Song Yuyan off guard. Aren't they usually telling the truth?

Her face stiffened slightly, and the air fell silent for a moment. Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Song Yuan walked in wearing a light blue dress.

At first glance, it looks similar to my color, and even the design is almost identical. But after just one day, it looks completely different.

In that instant, I realized that money is truly a wonderful thing.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Song Yuan walked in slowly, with a man beside her, Liu Ke. My eyes showed no emotion.

"Let me introduce you all. This is my... friend, Liu Ke."

When Song Yuan was introducing herself, she deliberately paused for a moment and looked in my direction. Immediately afterward, I noticed a sudden surge of coldness emanating from the man next to me. He gripped his wine glass even tighter, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

My eyes dimmed slightly for a moment before I looked away, but my gaze met Song Yuzhou's ambiguous smile across the distance. The man seemed nonchalant, as if he had observed everything.

"Sister, you're here. Sit here."

Song Yuyan pulled Song Yuan to sit on the other side of Gu Jinhuai. At some point, the seat next to Gu Jinhuai became empty, as if it had been deliberately reserved for Song Yuan.

"Oh... Sister, your clothes are the same as hers! I heard that Master Z only has one of these blue starry sky dresses. Zhou Nanzhi, where did you buy this dress? You weren't scammed, were you?"

I looked at Song Yuyan, who appeared worried but actually had a look of amusement in her eyes. I didn't say anything. This dress was given to me by Gu Jinhuai. He wanted me to embarrass myself here, to make me realize my own status, and to be a foil for Song Yuan.

Thinking about all this, I felt a tightness in my chest and didn't answer.

Gu Jinhuai, standing beside him, felt the noise around him was so annoying that his brows furrowed and he looked somewhat hostile.

Across from her, Song Yuyan blinked her almond-shaped eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between Song Yuan and Gu Jinhuai, before continuing, "Brother-in-law just lost a dare. How about he kisses my sister for thirty seconds?"

Even the way Song Yuyan was addressed had changed. I felt extremely awkward sitting there, but I kept a calm expression on my face.

I didn't notice that when Song Yuyan said this, the expressions of the people around her were all different. A few of the bolder ones started to join in the fun and shout, "Kiss! Kiss!"

A blush crept across Song Yuan's face as she sat next to Gu Jinhuai, looking at him with a shy expression. But the man's face remained expressionless, his soft jawline taut, and his entire being exuded an icy aura.

Song Yuyan looked at me provocatively, which I found childish. Just as I was about to speak, Gu Jinhuai slammed the marriage certificate open and placed it on the table.

"This was originally a matter between the two families, but you insist on making it known to everyone. Well then, I'll grant your wish."

Gu Jinhuai's icy gaze fell on Song Yuyan across from him. The latter's face stiffened, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet to her head.

But Song Yuyan still stared at the marriage certificate, smiling as she looked at Song Yuan, feigning surprise, and said, "Sister, when did you and brother-in-law get your marriage certificate? That's really too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Yuyan's gaze fell on the photo on the marriage certificate, but the person in the photo was not Song Yuan.

"What's wrong? Mr. Gu kept it a secret, didn't he? Even the wedding was done quietly. Were you afraid of inviting us to dinner?"

Several of Gu Jinhuai's friends from wealthy circles joked about it.

Song Yuyan stood up abruptly from the sofa, her gaze falling on Song Yuan before finally settling on me, her eyes filled with anger.

"why you?"

Song Yuyan's voice was shrill and accusatory.

Song Yuan looked completely bewildered, but even she, in her naiveté, noticed something was amiss.

Song Yuzhou, who was sitting opposite Song Yuyan, glanced at the marriage certificate the moment Song Yuyan stood up.

He couldn't believe that Gu Jinhuai would suddenly get married. When he saw the photo above, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his dark eyes stared at me.

I belatedly realized something was wrong, and Song Yuan couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed the marriage certificate, and when she saw the photo on it, her hand holding the certificate trembled.
