100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 170 Go Home Early_1

"Are you busy?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked.

"No, I’m at home."

"You’re home so early?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Gong Xiaoqiao was somewhat surprised; Gu Hangshen should still be at work at this time! Not to mention that workaholic often worked overtime.

Could it be that he came back early for her sake...

"Mm, when are you coming back?" Gu Hangshen’s tone seemed quite cheerful.

Gong Xiaoqiao suddenly found it difficult to speak, "Well... I was just about to tell you, I’m going to be home late today; the director said he’s treating us to dinner."

There was silence on the other end for a while.

"Got it."

"I’ll come back home as soon as I can." Gong Xiaoqiao didn’t know why she felt the need to add that.

"Mm."

...

The dinner was set up at a nice hotel in City A, with a private chef cooking special dishes.

Everyone else had already arrived, and Gong Xiaoqiao and Jinmulin were the last ones there.

As soon as Gong Xiaoqiao pushed open the door of the private room, she was stunned. A group of people each held a party popper, and as soon as they saw them come in, they collectively sprayed them out with a bang bang bang, colorful streamers drifted down toward her, and there was a huge multi-layered cake on the table, with the "Happy Birthday" song playing in the background.

"Happy Birthday!!!"

"Happy Birthday!!!"

"Ha ha! Our birthday star has finally arrived!"

...

"Eh... Jinmulin, is it your birthday today? Sorry, I seem to have forgotten, oops!" Gong Xiaoqiao looked apologetically at Jinmulin beside her.

Jinmulin pinched her cheek with a look of utter speechlessness, "You silly girl, have you worked yourself stupid? You can’t even remember your own birthday? Today is your birthday!"

"Ah? My birthday?" Gong Xiaoqiao was bewildered.

She suddenly remembered Gu Hangshen asking her if she had plans for the evening last night and telling her to come home early. Was it also because of this?

But she had completely forgotten...

"Xiaoqiao, come on, make a wish and blow out the candles!" Everyone urged her.

Gong Xiaoqiao came back to her senses and quickly agreed, walking over.

Gong Xiaoqiao glanced at Jinmulin.

Jinmulin winked at her, "Of course, it was arranged by your cutest senior brother! Touched?"

It wasn’t till late that she managed to leave, and by the time she arrived home, it was already eleven fifty.

The villa was pitch-black, not a single light. He probably had gone to bed already.

Gong Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, yet she felt a bit of disappointment.

She opened the door, and the house was silent.

Fumbling for the wall, she turned on the light, about to bend down to change her shoes, then froze halfway, maintaining her stooped position.

For a moment, everyone in the room and Gong Xiaoqiao at the door stared at each other.

Gong Xiaoqiao comically held a little rabbit slipper in her hand.

Slumped in various postures on the couch was a listless Shen Letian, a yawning Sheng Yu, and Leng Tou propping his forehead with his hand.

Strewn underneath the sofa lay Tang Yu, who seemed to have already fallen asleep.

On the chair, Leng Jing was looking at his phone, occasionally kicking away Tang Yu’s grabbing hand.

And finally, there was Gu Hangshen, standing by the window, his hands behind his back, expressionless.

The moment the light was turned on, Shen Letian fell from the couch with a thud onto Tang Yu, eliciting a yelp of pain.

Sheng Yu and Leng Tou looked up in surprise, while a hint of joy flickered through Leng Jing’s eyes.

Gu Hangshen slightly turned his head, looked at her, and said indifferently, "There are ten minutes left."

Perhaps it was the alcohol from earlier, but Gong Xiaoqiao felt as if she were walking on clouds, floating into the room.
