Chapter 311: Chapter 177: Best Friend
Gu Wanqingâs words were unsparingly direct, causing Gu Wanting to freeze for a moment before forcing a wry smile.
"Qingqing, youâre right. I really am a shameless woman who couldnât part with his money... itâs just that now, I canât bear to part with *him*."
"Sister, donât say that about yourself. Itâs all in the past."
Her heart aching for her, Gu Wanqing patted her sisterâs shoulder and sighed softly in an attempt to comfort her.
"Just focus on living a good life now. Look toward the future."
"Look toward the future, huh..."
Gu Wanting pursed her lips and lowered her head, lost in thought.
âWhat Gu Wanqing said was true, but she didnât want to just let it go!â
âI wonder if Iâll get a chance to have a proper, face-to-face talk with Lin Shen someday...â

ă11:30 PM.ă
ăWenjing Garden, Building 3, Room 201.ă
ăJiang Wanâs Room.ă
Lin Shen leaned back against the headboard, his eyes curiously scanning the room.
The bedroom was filled with cute decorations; even someone as mature and composed as Jiang Wan wasnât immune.
Several anime dolls sat on the headboard, and posters from a TV show were taped to the wall behind her desk.
These little touches filled the room with a warm, romantic atmosphere. The air also carried that pleasant scent unique to a young womanâs room.
But right now, there was a hint of dissonance in the otherwise therapeutic, dimly lit environment.
Just then, a phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Wan, however, was completely unfazed, assuming it was Lin Shenâs phone.
But then he said,
"Senior, youâre getting a WeChat call. I think itâs Lu."
âLu?â
"Just hang up."
Jiang Wan said, looking back at him, but a mischievous smile played on Lin Shenâs lips.
"Why donât you answer? Maybe itâs urgent."
"Itâs definitely not urgent."
Jiang Wan knew her best friendâs personality all too well. She looked at Lin Shen with pleading eyes, trying to win him over with her actions.
Seeing her adorably pitiful expression, Lin Shen, though tempted to tease her, ultimately declined the call.
But before he could even put the phone down, Xu Lu started another WeChat voice call.
From the looks of it, if Jiang Wan didnât answer, she would probably keep calling all night.
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow and met Jiang Wanâs gaze as she looked back at him, as if asking what to do now.
She bit her lip and finally gestured for Lin Shen to answer it for her.
So, Lin Shen put the phone to his ear.
"Hello? Is that Lu?"
"Huh?"
The moment she heard a manâs voice, Xu Lu was clearly stunned for a second before she realized who it was.
"Is that Shen?"
"Yes, itâs Lin Shen."
"Hi, Shen! Whereâs Wanwan?"
"Oh, her..."
Lin Shen glanced at Jiang Wan and chuckled lightly.
"Sheâs busy right now. Did you need something?"
"Oh, so sheâs *busy*..."
Xu Lu chuckled knowingly.
"Could you please put Wanwan on, Shen? I need to talk to her about something urgent."
"Alright."
"Xu Lu wants to talk to you. Says itâs urgent."
âWhat could possibly be so urgent?â
âSheâs just doing this on purpose to make me answer the phone!â
Jiang Wan fumed silently, but she took the phone anyway, doing her best to make her voice sound normal.
"Hello? Lu, whatâs so urgent that youâre calling this late?"
"Canât I call you just to chat?"
Xu Luâs voice was clearly filled with playful teasing.
"Wanwan, are you tired from work? You sound a little off."
"None of your business!"
Jiang Wan snapped, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance in her voice.
"Did you need something? If not, Iâm hanging up."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, donât hang up!"
Xu Lu quickly said in a placating tone.
"I really do have something to ask. Itâs about me wanting to manage your account... What was Shenâs take on it?"
"He agreed."
"Really?!"
Xu Luâs voice was filled with surprise and gratitude.
"Wanwan, youâre the best! Thank you so much! And please thank Shen for me too! Iâll treat you both to dinner soon!"
"Youâre welcome. But let me make one thing clear: you have to do a good job. Iâm not going to go easy on you just because weâre best friends..."
She suddenly pitched forward, catching herself on the bed with her left hand, which only served to remind her of the mortifying position she was in.
Even though Jiang Wan was biting her lip hard, Xu Lu could still tell something was going on.
"Wanwan, so you really are..."
Xu Lu teased with a laugh.
"You holding up okay?"
"Iâm hanging up."
Flying into a rage out of pure mortification, Jiang Wan hung up and tossed the phone aside. She turned back, ready to confront Lin Shen, but he was already leaning down over her, whispering.
"So, what was so urgent?"
"There was nothing urgent, she just..."
After Jiang Wan explained what had just happened with Xu Lu, Lin Shen couldnât help but smile knowingly.

At eight in the morning, Lin Shen slowly awoke.
His eyes opened to yet another unfamiliar ceiling.
Although Lin Shen had told himself he needed to practice some self-restraint and stay away from women for a while...
...in the end, he hadnât been able to resist his seniorâs uniform seduction.
SIGH!
Lin Shen sighed. After getting out of bed, he noticed that Jiang Wan was nowhere in the room.
When he left the master bedroom and entered the living room, he noticed a plate of warm breakfast on the dining table, covered with plastic wrap, along with a handwritten note.
"My dearest junior, Lin Shen, by the time you wake up and see this note, your senior will have already gone to work to make some money~
Even though itâs the weekend, itâs the last day of new student enrollment, so I have to work overtime. I canât be with you~ Remember to eat your breakfast, okay? Love you~
âJiang Wan"
