Chapter 271 - 253: Aren’t You At All Surprised?
Seeing Mu Shuoqian suddenly stop in his tracks, Gu Qili’s heart instantly tightened.
Her mind was racing, thinking of an excuse to leave without offending the leaders, but even more so, she didn’t want to offend him.
Mu Shuoqian paused only for two or three seconds before continuing forward as if nothing had happened, leaving the private room for the lounge, his hand still in his trouser pocket.
A large group followed behind, chattering and laughing until they reached the hotel entrance.
A senior executive was on the phone booking a room; Gu Qili walked side by side with Liu Zhining, discussing work matters with him.
Suddenly, Mu Shuoqian, who was at the front, had his phone ring from his pocket. He didn’t continue outside but stopped in front of the revolving door to answer the call. As he didn’t move, the rest of the people, like beached fish, could only wait quietly in place.
"Cancelled? Alright, then I won’t go over," he said nonchalantly, putting his phone back and then staring outside through the glass door at the street, lost in thought. In fact, he was waiting for a few executives to come closer.
As expected, an attentive executive heard his voice, which wasn’t intentionally lowered. The executive walked over hastily, smiling, and said, "Young Master Qian, since there’s nothing else, come and sing karaoke with us. It’s rare for you to come to Aus City, let us show you some hospitality."
Mu Shuoqian appeared to be rather troubled, but ultimately "couldn’t resist" the executive’s invitation and reluctantly nodded: "Alright."
Gu Qili couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth, having seen someone dig their own grave before, but watching someone climb out so calmly after being buried was a first for her. Truly an eye-opening experience.
Gu Qili had heard Mu Shuoqian sing; he had a pleasant singing voice. However, once they got to the KTV, he just sat on the side on a sofa and didn’t touch the microphone at all.
Out of propriety, Gu Qili sat next to Liu Zhining. She didn’t sing either but held a bucket of popcorn and listened attentively to others sing.
