Chapter 177 You Accompany Sister on This Trip
"Organizing a reunion. What about you?" Yuan Li responded, then asked back.
"Me? Oh, I came to visit a friend's grandpa." Ge Dongxu paused upon hearing this and casually made up a reply. He certainly couldn't say he was here to visit Elder Feng. Otherwise, he would really shock the two women in front of him!
"I didn't realize you had friends in Beijing," Yuan Li said, blinking at Ge Dongxu. Having spent some time with Ge Dongxu, Yuan Li could tell he wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't pursue it.
"Yeah," Ge Dongxu replied with some emotion. He truly hadn't expected that one day he would become a fellow student with Elder Feng.
"Oh, by the way, where are you heading next? Do you want Chenqing to drive you?" Ge Dongxu asked.
Having a car these days still carried a certain prestige. When Ge Dongxu asked this, Yuan Li didn't react much. She knew Ge Dongxu was worth tens of millions now, so it wasn't surprising his friend had a car. However, Su Qi couldn't help but look at Ge Dongxu and Feng Chenqing with curiosity.
"No need, I also drove here," Su Qi replied, clearly proud.
Ge Dongxu heard this and didn't mention the car anymore, but turned to Yuan Li and asked, "Sister, when are you heading home?"
"Tomorrow's Saturday. We've got another day of activities. Going back on Sunday? How about you?" Yuan Li asked.
"If that's the case, I'll also stay here tomorrow, and I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow," Ge Dongxu thought for a moment, then replied.
"Great, have you booked your plane ticket yet? If not, I can book it for you," Yuan Li said with a happy smile upon hearing that Ge Dongxu chose to go back with her.
"Hehe, no need to trouble Sister Li. I'll book Dongxu's plane ticket. I wonder if you've booked yours yet? If not, I can book yours too," Feng Chenqing quickly responded before Ge Dongxu could.
"I haven't booked mine yet. Well, it would really be helpful if you could do it, so we can pick the seats easily. I'll give Dongxu the money for the ticket," Yuan Li said.
"Hehe, don't mention it," Feng Chenqing replied with a smile, not specifically declining the offer of money. At his level of success, quibbling over such a small sum would be below his dignity.
"Okay, then I'll give Dongxu my ID number later," Yuan Li said, ready to join Su Qi for the next activity.
However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly had a thought, pulled Ge Dongxu aside, and asked in a low voice, "Dongxu, are you free this evening?"
"I'm free now, just letting Chenqing keep me company as I wander around. Is there something you need?" Ge Dongxu asked.
"That's great. Then you can join me at the reunion tonight," Yuan Li said, her eyes brightening with excitement.
"That might not be a good idea!" Ge Dongxu responded with a wry smile.
"What's wrong with that? Many classmates are bringing their spouses, and some even brought their mistresses. Today, you can just be my knight in shining armor!" Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu a look and said.
"What, has some toad been trying to eat swan meat?" Ge Dongxu's expression darkened slightly as he asked.
"Giggle, you crack me up!" Yuan Li playfully punched Ge Dongxu and then said, "But you're right, so if you don't want your sister to be devoured by toads, you'll have to go with me."
"You say that, what can I do?" Ge Dongxu said helplessly upon hearing this.
"I knew you care about me, not willing to let others take advantage of me!" Yuan Li said happily, then pushed Ge Dongxu slightly and added, "Then you go and talk to your friend."
"Alright." Ge Dongxu nodded, then turned to Feng Chenqing who was casually chatting with Su Qi behind him and said, "Chenqing, I'll be joining Sister Li tonight, don't worry about me."
"How can that be? I am your driver today," Feng Chenqing said urgently.
"It's not that serious. I see you have something on tonight too, even if Sister Li didn't have plans, I would have gone back early. Just leave me your number, and I'll call you if I really need anything," Ge Dongxu said. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
After thinking it over, Feng Chenqing knew that since Ge Dongxu was going to be with Yuan Li, it indeed wouldn't be convenient for him to tag along and he did have some matters to attend to tonight, albeit less urgent than Ge Dongxu's. Since Ge Dongxu insisted, he decided not to impose anymore and said, "Alright, call me anytime if you need anything."
After that, Feng Chenqing exchanged numbers with Ge Dongxu, then bid farewell to the trio and left.
"Really, Yuan Li, even if you want a shield, at least bring someone decent. Do you think it's appropriate to bring him?" Su Qi couldn't help but relax after Feng Chenqing left, pointing at Ge Dongxu with slightly furrowed brows.
It wasn't that Ge Dongxu looked shabby. In fact, over the past couple of years, Ge Dongxu's skin had gradually become lighter, his height had shot up to 5 feet 10 inches, and due to his cultivation, his physique was well-proportioned, giving off a wholesome and sunny vibe. Even if his features weren't handsome, they were definitely pleasing to the eye and easy to generate a good impression.
Su Qi felt this way because Ge Dongxu was really too young and was also dressed in simple sportswear that made him look like a student, not like a successful figure from society.
"What's inappropriate? He's quite good!" Yuan Li retorted unconvinced, pulling Ge Dongxu's hand and sticking out her chest defiantly.
"What's good about it? Yes, he's tall, and yes, he looks fine, but he totally looks like a student. If you bring him along, isn't that just blatantly fooling people?" Su Qi rolled her eyes and said.
"Oh, that's true! It does seem too obvious!" Yuan Li conceded, looking at Ge Dongxu and slightly furrowing her brows.
Because she knew what Ge Dongxu was capable of, she often viewed him through an adult's perspective. But now that Su Qi mentioned it, upon a closer look, Yuan Li realized Ge Dongxu did indeed still seem too naive.
If she really brought him along, it wouldn't be shielding anymore; it would be deliberately slapping Cui Mingshuo in the face.
After all, such matters, everyone knows it's enough, but if you make it too obvious, then it puts people in an awkward position.
Ge Dongxu touched his face, then looked down at his attire and couldn't help but laugh wryly to himself. Well, his outfit really wasn't qualified to be a shield.
However, Ge Dongxu was a cultivator after all, and now a millionaire business owner, naturally having his self-confidence; he wouldn't get cold feet or back out just because of Su Qi's words.
So, he touched his face, scanned around, and seeing a high-end mall on this street, Ge Dongxu came up with an idea, smiling, "This is simple, just wait here for me for a while."
Without waiting for Yuan Li and Su Qi to respond, he had already quickly walked towards the nearest mall.
