Chapter 504: Chapter 497: Uneasy

Cheng Shishi was walking down the hallway of a hotel on the 33rd floor, feeling a bit anxious. Just half an hour ago, she was preparing to go home from school when she received a call from Chen Bei. Initially, she was surprised as she had been quite honest lately, only occasionally contacting Wu Jingjing via WeChat, and she hadn’t been in touch with Wu Chengzu at all.

Though surprised, she still answered Chen Bei’s call.

However, the content of Chen Bei’s call left Cheng Shishi shocked. Out of astonishment and a young woman’s inherent reserve, she directly refused the matter and hung up.

But she couldn’t calm down. All she could think about was Wu Chengzu, feeling as if she was bewitched.

She thought she would never easily fall for someone in this lifetime, yet just Wu Chengzu’s smile was enough to make her unable to extricate herself.

It was then that Cheng Shishi realized that going from liking someone to loving someone is just a moment’s matter. Once that moment arrives, everything becomes determined, even if she knows it’s wrong...

What Cheng Shishi didn’t expect was that Chen Bei’s car was parked right outside the school gate. Once, she had countless rides between Bai Yiran’s home and Wu Chengzu’s home in this very car. Now, seeing it again, it evoked a feeling as if it belonged to another life.

Chen Bei stood by the car, smiling at Cheng Shishi, with certainty in his eyes, confident that Cheng Shishi would get into his car.

"Teacher Xiao Cheng, this is an opportunity, don’t you want to seize it?"

Chen Bei had long seen through Cheng Shishi’s feelings for Wu Chengzu. Having been around Wu Chengzu for so many years, he had seen all kinds of women, and he could see through girls like Cheng Shishi, who didn’t hide her intentions, at a glance.

Similarly, Wu Chengzu would have surely seen through already. Yet, he had a habit of playing dumb in front of women who liked him, while exuding subtle allure.

Typically, Wu Chengzu’s demeanor was enough to capture a woman’s heart, much to Chen Bei’s admiration.

From Bai Qianyu in the past to Cheng Shishi now, who wasn’t completely infatuated with Wu Chengzu?

But there was an anomaly, Bai Yiran...

Perhaps that’s why Wu Chengzu was particularly attentive to Bai Yiran.

Thinking like this, Chen Bei opened the car door, "Teacher Xiao Cheng, please~"

When Cheng Shishi came to her senses, she was already in the hotel hallway, soon led by Chen Bei to the room door.

Chen Bei handed the room card directly to Cheng Shishi, not even allowing her a last chance to back out, "Teacher Xiao Cheng, the boss will be here soon, here’s the room card, go in and take a shower first."

Cheng Shishi held the room card, standing at the doorway undergoing her final psychological struggle.

She was in love with Wu Chengzu; it was an undeniable fact. She knew what she was about to face, she was an adult now and had to own up to every decision she made...

Cheng Shishi bit her lip hard and finally brought the room card closer to the door.

With a beep, the door opened.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Shishi walked in...

Chen Bei stood at the end of the hallway, watching Cheng Shishi enter the room with his own eyes, dialing a phone number.

"Hello? It’s Mr. Dong? There’s something I need your help with..." The elevator door opened, and Chen Bei stepped inside, his words vanishing as the elevator door closed...
