Chapter 1400 1395: Confession at the Bar
If anyone else were surrounded by two stunning beauties, they'd already be completely lost in bliss.If it were someone else, Su Chen might also be delighted, but every time he saw Dai Yifei's overly gentle gaze that seemed to want to devour him whole, he couldn't help but shiver.
This time, He Zehua invited everyone not to a hotel for the gathering, but to a high-end bar.
The bar, under the night sky, became extra alluring under the stimulation of alcohol.
"How many guests, sir?" As He Zehua and the others' car stopped outside the bar, the bar's waiter eagerly approached.
"The private room is already reserved. Please ask your manager Yu to arrange it." He Zehua checked his watch and said to the waiter.
"Alright, please wait for a moment."
He Zehua seemed quite familiar with the manager of this bar.
Soon, a slightly overweight, suit-clad, slick-haired young man strode out from the bar.
"Haha, Mr. He, it's rare to see you here, come inside." The slick-haired young man came up and embraced He Zehua warmly.
"Manager Yu, these are my classmates, make sure to treat them well tonight."
Finally finding his sense of presence, He Zehua said with a smile.
"Certainly, certainly, Mr. He's classmates are like my own classmates. I'll treat them like family." Manager Yu replied enthusiastically.
The bar was lavishly decorated and excelled in both size and location. He Zehua and the group, numbering fifteen or sixteen, faced a minimum spending of nearly two thousand per person, and that was just for the basic drinks.
Although Qin Keren's classmates were doing fairly well now, they couldn't help but feel a pinch at the extravagant spending. Just a few drinks could cost forty or fifty thousand, which wasn't an amount most people could afford.
People tended to forget. Su Chen's previous display of prowess made them subconsciously overlook him, but now their only thought was: He Zehua made it big!
In the private room.
He Zehua raised his glass first: "I'm thrilled to be reunited with everyone today. I hope we can forget any unpleasantness that happens today, enjoy our food and drinks, and have fun. If anyone isn't happy, then I, He Zehua, have not done my job. Come on, let's toast!"
After everyone shared a drink, the atmosphere in the private room grew even more lively, with people constantly singing karaokes and confessions happening one after the other.
Student days always left various regrets, as reality often kept boys and girls who liked each other from speaking up.
But now everyone was part of society, and this reunion was a matter of fate. Under the influence of alcohol, people's courage naturally grew.
However, some male classmates seemed to forget that they were already family men...
Su Chen, Qin Keren, and Dai Yifei huddled in a corner of the private room, leisurely sipping on small drinks.
Qin Keren occasionally whispered to Su Chen.
Talking about meeting Su Chen was like a story straight out of a novel or drama.
Yet she couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world; if not for that one time, she would probably never have crossed paths with this jerk, the incorrigible flirt!
This guy is truly one of those love-hate... jerks.
Dai Yifei, on the other hand, kept her head tilted, listening to Su Chen and Qin Keren's conversation, feeling this was her greatest happiness ever, because being by his side felt so good.
You might think she's foolish, but the feeling of liking someone is truly wonderful...
At that moment, the door of the private room suddenly swung open.
A cart loaded with flowers was pushed in from outside.
The vibrant red roses made the few female classmates in the room scream in delight.
What's going on here?
"Buzz..." A piercing sound came through the speakers, not long before silence returned.
He Zehua smiled and stepped forward.
"Besides reuniting with my classmates today, I have a bold intention."
His gaze intensely focused on a corner of the room.
After staring for a full three seconds, he continued, "Maybe none of you knew, but I have feelings for a girl. I liked her during our student days, and I still like her now. I haven't forgotten her all these years."
"Oh? Mr. Head Class Leader, has the person you like come here today?" someone asked cooperatively.
He Zehua nodded frankly: "Yes, she's here!"
"I used to like her and didn't have the courage to tell her, but now I can openly say that I, He Zehua, like her. I would do anything for her, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, I'd get it for her!" He Zehua announced proudly, face flushed.
His words induced another wave of screams in the private room.
Yet most of the male classmates scoffed at this. Another trickster's word from the mouth of a man; He Zehua, you're overdoing it with this act!
"Mr. Head Class Leader, tell us quickly, who is this person you like?" Su Chen was sure the speaker was a plant arranged by He Zehua in advance; the cooperation was too perfect!
"Here are nine hundred ninety-nine roses, my first gift to you tonight. Qin Keren, I like you!" He Zehua's eyes burned as he gazed at Qin Keren.
The room's dim lights were enveloped in a red glow that covered Qin Keren.
At this moment, Qin Keren was in a daze. He Zehua, why are you making such a fuss?
She didn't come to this high school reunion alone!
Once the initial shock wore off, Qin Keren quickly came to her senses and calmly replied, "Thank you, He Zehua, for your affection, but I already have someone I like now, and it's inappropriate for you to confess to me in front of my boyfriend."
Qin Keren gently hugged Su Chen's arm, seemingly as a counter to He Zehua's confession.
He Zehua's face remained smiling, showing no sign of embarrassment: "Keren, I sincerely like you, but Mr. Su might not really be your boyfriend? I think, given Mr. Su's status, he can have any woman he desires. Keren, you and Mr. Su must just be friends. Surely you invited Mr. Su as a shield for unnecessary troubles, am I right?"
"How do you know he's not my boyfriend? By saying so, are you admitting that he's better than you? Also, please, don't call me Keren; call me Qin Keren!" Qin Keren's face cooled slightly, seemingly displeased with how He Zehua addressed her.
"Keren..." He Zehua tried to say more but didn't expect Su Chen to speak up.
"Hehe, you're actually right; I'm not her boyfriend." Su Chen chuckled, withdrawing his arm from Qin Keren's embrace.
Initially desperate, He Zehua's eyes lit up, "Really?!"
