Chapter 74: Rebellious Girl

Before Qiao Shuyi could think further, the man on the other end of the phone said in a broken voice, “Do you remember what day it is today? Every year on this day, you would be by my side, baking a cake for me, and we would make a wish together…”

“You have the wrong number.”

Qiao Shuyi coldly finished her sentence and hung up the phone.

“Who was that?” Sheng Yu raised his head, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“A drunkard, rambling nonsense.” Qiao Shuyi smiled.

Sheng Yu looked at her for a moment, not pressing further.

Actually, when the man spoke his second sentence, Qiao Shuyi recognized his voice.

Even though he had drunk a lot, even though his voice was slurred and hoarse, she still recognized it.

After all, this voice had accompanied her for almost twenty years in her past life.

Gu Linchuan…

She had already blocked all of Gu Linchuan’s contact information, and she didn’t know how he got this phone to call her.

In her past life, shouldn’t he be surrounded by beautiful women and friends, enjoying his success?

Why did he suddenly think of his ex-girlfriend this time?

It didn’t matter.

Whatever happened, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

Qiao Shuyi collected her thoughts and kissed Sheng Yu on the lips, “It’s getting late, shouldn’t you take me home?”

“Home…”

The man mumbled, his eyes still filled with lingering desire.

“I have a villa nearby, how about tonight…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Qiao Shuyi understood what he meant.

Her cheeks flushed instantly.

She couldn’t help but secretly think: Men are all the same, even someone as aloof and noble as Sheng Yu couldn’t escape this.

“Can we?”

The man’s long fingers ran through her hair, combing it gently.

His gaze remained calm and deep, but if you looked closely, you could see something flickering in them.

“I…”

Just as Qiao Shuyi was about to speak, her phone rang again.

Sheng Yu frowned, picked up her phone and was about to hang up, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the caller ID.

“It’s Auntie.” He handed the phone to her, a rare hint of awkwardness flashing across his face.

Qiao Shuyi noticed his expression and couldn’t help but curl her lips.

She suppressed her laughter and pressed the answer button, “Mom?”

“Shuyi, it’s already ten o’clock, Ranran has come back, when are you coming back?”

“I…”

Qiao Shuyi glanced at Sheng Yu, thought for a moment, “I’ll be back soon, no later than eleven.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

She reached out and touched his head soothingly.

Qiao’s mother said, “Are you with Sheng Yu now?”

“Yes.”

“He’s sending you back?”

“Yes.”

“Then tell him to be careful, don’t drive too fast.”

“Okay.”

…

Qiao’s mother gave a few simple instructions and hung up the phone.

Qiao Shuyi put away her phone and looked at the man in front of her with a smile, “Mr. Sheng, please send your girlfriend home.”

Sheng Yu sighed softly, lowered his head, and bit her lips lightly.

“It hurts…” Qiao Shuyi pouted, glaring at him.

“Are you doing it on purpose?”

“No, I’m not.” Qiao Shuyi touched her lips，relieved when she found it wasn’t broken.

“Guess why my mom called me at this time?”

“Why?”

Qiao Shuyi poked his nose, “She’s just afraid that I’ll be taken away by a wild man, so she called me to come home early. You don’t know, when I was in college…”

Qiao Shuyi suddenly realized something and quickly shut her mouth.

“What happened in college?”

Qiao Shuyi looked at his expression and whispered, “When I went out with Gu Linchuan in college, my mom would always call me to come home, afraid that I would spend the night with him.”

Sheng Yu raised an eyebrow.

Her parents were quite strict.

“If I go out with female friends, my mom usually doesn’t ask, but if it’s male friends, she’ll be more worried. Before, when I slept with Tangtang at your house, she didn’t say anything, but if I stay at your house to sleep in the future, she’ll probably be worried…”

Worried that she would end up sleeping with Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu nodded thoughtfully, “When will Auntie stop worrying about these things?”

Qiao Shuyi thought for a moment, “At least after we get engaged… But I’m a little rebellious now, I have my own thoughts about some things.”

“Okay, rebellious girl.” Sheng Yu kissed the corner of her lips and put her back in her chair.

“I’m not…”

Qiao Shuyi softly retorted, she was very obedient in front of her parents and elders, who wouldn’t praise her as a “well-bred lady”?

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

Sheng Yu smiled and got out of the car, getting into the driver’s seat.

Qiao Shuyi also got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

…

Half an hour later, Sheng Yu’s Maybach stopped in front of the familiar villa.

Qiao Shuyi was about to reach out and open the door, but suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Sheng Yu, “I told my parents about our relationship last time, and my dad said he wanted to meet you, when are you free…”

Sheng Yu was stunned, then said, “It’s a bit late today, and I’m not prepared, how about another day?”

“Of course not today.”

Qiao Shuyi glared at him, who would visit at night?

Her father’s schedule, he probably was already asleep.

Qiao Shuyi got out of the car, walked around to the driver’s seat, leaned over and kissed his lips, “I’m going in, be careful on the way back, text me when you get there.”

“Okay.”

As expected, Qiao’s father was already asleep, and Qiao’s mother was still awake, waiting in the living room in her pajamas.

Seeing Qiao Shuyi come back, she breathed a sigh of relief and got up to greet her.

“Sheng Yu sent you back?”

“Yes. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I’m waiting for you to come back.”

Qiao Shuyi rubbed her face against her shoulder, smiling and acting cute, “Mom, I’m not a child anymore, I have my own sense of proportion, just relax, it’s so cold, don’t wait for me in the future.”

“You…” Qiao’s mother sighed, her eyes filled with helplessness and affection.

“It’s getting late, I’m going upstairs to sleep. Chen’s mother left you some hot milk in the kitchen, drink it and go upstairs to rest.”

“Okay.”

After Qiao’s mother went upstairs, Qiao Shuyi went to the kitchen to get the hot milk and sat on the sofa to sip it.

The phone next to her rang again.

It was still an unfamiliar number, but not the previous one.

Was it him again?

Qiao Shuyi frowned, thinking for a moment, and hesitantly pressed the answer button.

She didn’t speak, and waited for a few seconds before a voice came from the other end.

It was still that drunken, slurred, but familiar voice.
