Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 961: Drunken Phone Call

After coming back from the banquet, Gu Jiahui seemed very drunk.

The driver dropped him off at the apartment, where Cheng Lichuan greeted him, "Whoa, you reek of alcohol. How much did you drink?"

"A lot," Gu Jiahui said without a filter, "You have to play the part in a heartfelt drama, can’t do it without a few drinks."

Cheng Lichuan frowned slightly.

"Don’t tell Sheng Tang," Gu Jiahui added.

"Tangtang is not home. If she were, she’d definitely beat you up," Cheng Lichuan said, "Alright, go take a shower and get some sleep."

"Last time I got drunk, it was Sheng Tang who helped me shower."

Cheng Lichuan: "..."

This time, Gu Jiahui wasn’t as bad as last time. He wasn’t completely wasted, just speaking and acting a bit childishly.

He showered himself, and Cheng Lichuan helped him dry his hair, urging him to go to sleep.

"Where’s my phone?" he asked Cheng Lichuan.

"What do you need a phone for? Just go to sleep!"

"I want to call Sheng Tang," Gu Jiahui said, "Haven’t talked to her in a long time."

Cheng Lichuan went to his outer coat pocket, fished out his phone, and handed it to him.

Gu Jiahui went back to his bedroom.

Sheng Tang’s phone always seemed out of reach.

Tonight, however, for some reason, he was really lucky. After a few "out of service area" messages, it suddenly rang and finally connected.

However, he couldn’t hear Sheng Tang’s voice.

He shouted several times into the phone, but only heard a few broken pieces in return.

The call naturally disconnected.

When he tried dialing again, it was out of service area once more.

Gu Jiahui felt very irritated, itching to throw the phone away.

He lay there, savoring today’s success. It felt like he was only a step away from final victory.

Everything was fine, except he missed Sheng Tang terribly.

The alcohol numbed his reason, and he could no longer control himself.

A few minutes later, his phone rang.

Gu Jiahui immediately grabbed it.

He saw it was a very unfamiliar number. He hesitated, unsure who was calling, but he picked it up anyway.

"Gu Jiahui?" Sheng Tang’s voice came through the phone.

Gu Jiahui suddenly sat up.

The alcohol seemed to evaporate as soon as he heard the heavenly sound.

"Can you hear me?" Sheng Tang’s voice came loud, "Can you hear?"

"I can hear you, don’t shout," Gu Jiahui said, "I have a headache."

His voice transferred clearly over to Sheng Tang.

Finally, Sheng Tang spoke in a normal volume, "You called me earlier, is something up?"

"Nothing much," Gu Jiahui said, "Yang Mingming got married today, arranged by her family."

Sheng Tang chuckled on the other end, "Well, congratulations then, another step forward in the plan, right?"

"Yeah."

"That’s great," Sheng Tang sincerely rejoiced, "Congratulations again."

Gu Jiahui gave a small laugh, then suddenly asked her, "When are you coming back?"

"Me? I’ve only been here for a few days," Sheng Tang laughed, "Probably not back in the city for another two months."

Gu Jiahui remained silent for a moment.

"Is there anything you need me to come back for?" Sheng Tang asked.

"No."

Just someone missing you a lot.

"Then I’ll see you in a few days," Sheng Tang said, "This is Lan Fei’s satellite phone. Don’t call unless it’s urgent. If there’s an emergency, call, and I’ll get back to you when I see it."

Gu Jiahui made a sound of agreement, "You guys can even get satellite phones?"

"Lan Fei sorted it out," Sheng Tang laughed.

Gu Shiyan, the young lady, truly has connections everywhere.

Once she realized there was no signal, within two days, she had Dai Ning go to the nearby military base to get a military satellite phone.

This way, she could call her husband and son every night.

Sheng Tang could also use it to call Gu Shiting.
