Even though the people in this circle were considered rich or powerful by others, everyone was ranked.
To Yu Kaihao's surprise, Gu Lichen replied, "Sure."
Yu Kaihao was overjoyed. He felt as if he had just won the lottery. If he could get close to Gu Lichen, his status in the circle would be different.
When Yu Kaihao led Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang to the pool table, Ling Yiran could not help smiling bitterly.
This was just what she was worried about.
Ling Yiran took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said to Yu Kaihao, "Mr. Yu, would you please sign this document first?"
"Just wait. Don't disturb us!" Yu Kaihao said impatiently. He was afraid it would interrupt his game with Gu Lichen and affect him from making friends with him.
Ling Yiran lowered her head and bit her lip slightly. She could feel Gu Lichen's eyes sweeping over her.
However... it was just a sweep.
"Lifang, have you ever played pool?" Gu Lichen's voice rang.
"Ah... No," Hua Lifang replied quickly.
"I'll teach you," said Gu Lichen.
Hua Lifang was instantly surprised and responded to him immediately.
"Sure," said Gu Lichen. Then, he asked Hua Lifang to stand near the edge of the pool table.
Hua Lifang also started playing pool, but Ling Yiran standing by the side made her uneasy as well as nervous.
However, Gu Lichen's dismissive attitude toward Ling Yiran allayed Hua Lifang's fears.
It seemed that Lichen was no longer interested in Ling Yiran, and if she continued to remind Lichen of his gratitude and childhood memories, she would eventually make Lichen fall in love with her. He would no longer treat her as just his savior.
Hua Lifang deliberately went closer to Gu Lichen when she played, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Then, she said, "Lichen, you said you’d show me the world and let me try everything delicious and interesting when we were little. I never thought it would happen one day."
With a flutter of his eyelashes, Gu Lichen looked at Hua Lifang's face that was covered with heavy makeup and said lightly, "I'm glad you like it."
