Chapter 7, Lucky Star

He met Gu Chen at the court as agreed. Several other well-dressed individuals were by his side, who appeared not to be business owners but rather dignitaries, each accompanied by a beautiful woman on their arm

In contemporary society, those who are wealthy and powerful appear increasingly glamorous on the outside, yet their inner selves often reveal a growing level of depravity and vulgarity. This truly reflects a decline in societal morals and a departure from traditional values. As wealth accumulates, the sense of shame and conscience diminishes correspondingly.

However, there is one point that she is somewhat surprised about herself

Xu Tong reminded herself to remain calm and composed

If this item happens to be someone's favorite, then that is another matter altogether

Xu Tong, initially compliant, gradually began to respond. It was as if she were learning from him, teasing him with her tongue, playfully provoking him.

Gu Chen replied generously with a smile: "No problem!"

Gu Chen generously acquiesced to her request

Xu Tong hurriedly called Yang Yang again, giving a precautionary warning in advance, "If you see me appear on the court later, regardless of who I am with or what kind of physical contact occurs between us, please remain calm, absolutely pretend you have never seen me, and act as if we are complete strangers! Also, please inform a few of your colleagues who have seen me before, I beg you! Time is tight, and I will explain the reasons later!" Without giving Yang Yang a chance to ask questions, she immediately hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and rushed out.

Xu Tong let out a quiet sigh

Lifting her gaze to look at Gu Chen, she noticed that although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his brows were on the verge of furrowing, and he seemed to be struggling to endure the nonsensical chatter.

Upon hearing the sound, the flesh on Boss Wang's cheeks immediately quivered a few times

Gu Chen smiled and said, "One must always wager something; only then can the game be truly enjoyable"

Boss Wang immediately lost his composure and hurriedly nodded, saying: "No problem, no problem! Whatever the bet, it all depends on what little sister Yaoyao says! No matter what it is, I will agree to it all!"

It seems that Gu Chen's charm and influence are much greater than she had imagined

Xu Tong frowned slightly, feeling that the last few sentences had already taken on a somewhat unconventional tone

The thousands of cherry stems are indeed not to be chewed in vain, and the results are already evident.

Under such indulgence, she pondered for a moment and then smiled somewhat reservedly, pointing innocently at the boss's hand, "Such valuable items, I dare not imagine. How about we bet on that set of golf clubs in the boss's hand instead!"

It is fortunate that Yang Yang is not serving this group of people today, otherwise the two would truly be exhausted. It may not be difficult for strangers to pretend to be familiar, but it is genuinely challenging for acquaintances to pretend to be completely unfamiliar with each other. A casual exchange of glances is enough to reveal everything and expose the truth.

Xu Tong quickly hung up with a look of bewilderment and anxiously asked, "Am I... am I mistaken about something?"

After the competition ended, when Xu Tong saw Boss Wang handing over his set of cue sticks to her, his face turned ashen, filled with great reluctance, as if someone had cut a piece of flesh from his body

She does not like the feeling of being at a disadvantage; she prefers to be the strong one who controls others

Gu Chen lowered his head and gently asked Xu Tong with a smile, "Yao Yao, what do you want me to win against him, hmm?" The intonation of the word 'hmm' was filled with an indescribable flirtation.

If one of the two loses their heart first, that person will certainly not be her

Gu Chen sat in the driver's seat, turning slightly to look at her, with a smile radiating from between his brows and eyes

What is this? Just because they have a bit of money, they treat all women as commodities, as if anyone they fancy can be valued according to price. This is truly excessive

Gu Chen chuckled and patted her shoulder, comforting her by saying, "No, what you want is very good, excellent!" He then turned to Boss Wang and asked, "So, Boss Wang, are we betting or not? I want to bet, and Yao Yao has already spoken; just tell me what you want as a stake, feel free to speak up."

This is a competition concerning the heart

People around are constantly fanning the flames, urging Boss Qi to not go back on his word like a petty person, and to quickly nod and accept the challenge

In the future, if she were to kiss him again, she would make him the one who is utterly captivated and lost in a trance.

After making the request, she turned to look at Gu Chen, seemingly wanting to confirm with him whether her earlier request was excessive. She saw two intense gazes emanating from the depths of Gu Chen's eyes, which were unreservedly mixed with his deep admiration for her

After returning home, she began to search online for various materials on how to improve her kissing skills. Noticing that many people claimed that kissing experts could tie a cherry stem in a knot with their tongues, she immediately bought countless cherries to practice. She thought that when she could tie a cherry stem in a knot with her tongue, she would not be too far from becoming a kissing expert.

Do you know the origin and value of this set of cues in your hand? Just giving it away casually, aren't you afraid of regretting it later?

Xu Tong let out a hum in her heart

Xu Tong looked at Gu Chenjing's bright eyes, feeling a slight stir in her heart. He was telling her that it was alright to speak freely.

Xu Tong quickly glanced at that person and shot him a fierce glare

The other party is unaware of Gu Chen's hidden intentions to make him look good, and responds playfully.

Gu Chen seemed extremely satisfied and gently asked her, "With so many things to bet on, how did you think of asking for this cue stick?"

Xu Tong's lively and clever demeanor blossomed into a timely smile for Boss Wang, her enchanting smile resembling a budding flower, delicate and vibrant, shyly blushing, truly captivating and stirring the heart

It was originally a loss, so losing is just losing; they can gamble as they please. After all, most of them come here to play basketball with Gu Chen, and their primary purpose is to please the young master Gu. If the young master Gu wishes to win something from them, they would be more than happy to oblige.

Thus, I practiced diligently, even to the point where my tongue developed blisters

He lowered his head to look at her, faintly smiling with his lips pressed together, his face remaining impassive, yet his eyes overflowed with a hint of affection and admiration

She did not expect that while practicing, her face was actually full of spring color

Her hand rested in Gu Chen's arm. Feeling a gentle pat on the back of her hand, she turned to look. It turned out to be Gu Chen comforting her. He had witnessed the entire scene just now.

Both individuals appeared to be sanctimonious, as if they were complete strangers, passing each other on a narrow path in two small vehicles, their gazes fixed straight ahead without a glance sideways.

Boss Wang forced a smile, compelling himself to appear generous, "Sure, sure!" His smile was almost more unsightly than crying

Gu Chen looked at Xu Tong and smiled, "What shall we bet on? Hmm... how about this, since Yao Yao is here for the first time today and Boss Wang seems to appreciate my little companion, why don't we both give her a favor today? Whatever I want to bet on, let her decide! But if she asks you for something, you mustn't refuse! My little friend is quite shy, and if you turn her down, she might be so embarrassed that she won't be able to eat for a month!"

Gu Chen added on the side, "It is truly embarrassing to have Boss Wang part with it"

It turns out that General Gu is not alone; it is merely that the beautiful person has arrived late

Only when she saw it with her own eyes did she realize that everything Yang Yang had said was not an exaggeration; Gu Chen's skills in basketball were indeed exceptional

Xu Tong had heard Yang Yang describe Gu Chen's skills. However, at that time, she felt that Yang Yang was describing them from a perspective of infatuation, so she held a skeptical attitude towards the legendary and extraordinary skills of the young master Gu.

Xu Tong replied innocently, "I don't dare to ask for anything too valuable, for fear that if someone is reluctant to give it, it would be quite awkward. A cue stick is different; it can be found everywhere and is not rare at all."

Beside them, someone, with a hint of affection, playfully teased, "This pure young lady is truly charming, Gu Shao is so fortunate! How come I never encounter such a pure and sweet little beauty? Tsk tsk, there’s nowhere to express my infatuation!" As he lamented, his female companion beside him stomped her foot in a playful pout.

"Who said that? Lacking vision, this one truly qualifies as a beauty!"

This period of silence was not long; just a few days later, Gu Chen called Xu Tong.

She shook her head and smiled, saying, "Of course I won't regret it!" What she thought in her heart remained in her heart, yet her demeanor was as consistently charming and obedient as ever

Gu Chen smiled slightly and gently said, "Alright, let's make him lose thoroughly later, consider it a way to vent your frustrations! Think about what you hope to win back from him, and let's have a good gamble with him!"

She innocently and romantically took the cue, thanking Boss Wang with a charming smile, "Thank you, Boss Wang!"

He gasped as he released her, his Adam's apple moving up and down, as if countless desires had been stirred by her, poised and ready to erupt. His eyes were deep and dark, his breath chaotic and hurried, his voice hoarse and echoing, "You little enchantress, after just two kisses, you already know how to tease someone!" After saying this, he covered her lips again, entangled with her in a passionate kiss that seemed to transcend time and space, whether it was the vastness of the universe or the eternity of the earth, everything at that moment felt trivial. Only the entangled teasing of their tongues, neither willing to stop, transformed into a fleeting yet brilliant moment of eternity.

A bit bad

Back in the car, Xu Tong handed the cue to Gu Chen, saying, "I don't know how to play, this should be yours."

He is almost comparable to a professional player. No wonder that Boss Wang's expression was off just now; it turns out he was competing with Gu Chen, and the outcome was undoubtedly destined to be a loss.

Upon arriving at the designated location, Gu Chen, amidst laughter and conversation, subtly issued a challenge to the recently encountered flamboyant boss.

Gu Chen chuckled deeply, "Yao Yao, who would have thought that your unintentional act would lead to a beautiful outcome for me! This set of cue sticks is truly a family treasure of the Wang family. It was manufactured under royal designation, passed through the hands of several world champions, and was finally acquired by the Wang family at the cost of nearly half their fortune. They are practically the lifeblood of Boss Wang. I once subtly hinted to Boss Wang that I hoped to purchase them at a high price, but he changed the subject and refused to agree. I never expected that today I would obtain them without any effort!" He raised his hand to caress Xu Tong's cheek, his fingertips stirring countless ambiguous emotions, "Yao Yao, you truly are my little lucky star! To think that I would suddenly get something I have longed for!"

In fact, she had her eyes set on that Boss Wang, who, upon taking the cue stick in hand, displayed a kind of smug satisfaction reminiscent of a newly wealthy upstart. Although she did not understand how to assess the value of the cue stick, she was adept at judging, through observation, whether it was something that the owner cherished.

The other party repeatedly responded affirmatively, inquiring earnestly: "What does Mr. Gu want to bet on?"

Xu Tong broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said to him in a tone of feigned grievance: "I can find the court by myself, you don't need to come! If you come and the classmates see you, they will gossip about me!"

Raising his eyes again to look at Boss Wang, who had just moments ago been beaming with a rosy complexion, he now appeared somewhat pale.

As they entered the stadium together, taking advantage of others not paying attention, Gu Chen casually asked Xu Tong in a low voice, "Does Yao Yao dislike that person?"

He leaned forward, lowered his head, placed his hand on the back of her neck, and covered her lips with his, beginning to kiss her tenderly and passionately, the intensity of the kisses gradually increasing, and the teasing of his tongue becoming more fervent.

Everyone was teasing and joking about Xu Tong

She saw other girls intimately linking arms with their respective benefactors, exuding a sense of closeness; then she looked at herself and Gu Chen, the two of them standing politely a foot apart from each other. In order to bring a smile to Gu Chen's face, she quietly moved closer to him and took the initiative to link her arm with his. Feeling his body shift slightly as she approached, she looked up at him, her gaze filled with shyness and timidity.

These individuals were originally jesting and speculating about how Gu Chen would dare to come alone, but Xu Tong's appearance brought a spark to their eyes, and they exchanged knowing, ambiguous smiles.

That passionate night left Xu Tong deeply moved; she never expected Gu Chen's kissing skills to be so remarkable

"Tsk tsk, pure, truly pure! This little sister is as pure as sugarcane juice! Not only is she pure, but she is also very sweet!"

He plans to go to the golf course to play and intends to pick her up from "school" to go together

Mr. Gu's appetite has indeed become increasingly light

Do you really think she can't see through it? He must have wanted this set of golf clubs for a long time, but there were no opportunities before. Today, taking advantage of Boss Wang's infatuation with her, she is acting as a decoy to lure Boss Wang into their trap.

Xu Tong and Yang Yang indeed met face to face

That night, he nearly kissed her into a state of madness

Xu Tong pursed her lips in indignation and nodded slightly

Boss Wang's face had grown long, and his expression revealed considerable struggle. After much contemplation, he truly did not want to lose face in front of others, especially in front of Xu Tong. Thus, he gritted his teeth and finally mustered the resolve to say: "Alright! I will bet! If I win, you must keep that limited edition sports car parked outside!"

In his view, she had undoubtedly developed feelings for him; however, she herself understood that it was merely a facade she had created for him
