Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Cloud Mist Mountain Is at Its Most Beautiful Now Gu Qiaoqiao arrived at the pool hall and saw that almost everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived. Du Tian and An Xiaotong, Shang Qing and Chu Chengfeng, plus her, five people sat in the restaurant next door, eating and chatting. Of course, what they talked about were the matters regarding this spring outing. Finally seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, Shang Qing quickly brushed away their awkwardness and the three girls started chatting away, naturally, discussing what to bring, what to wear… The most important thing was to definitely bring a camera, because it would be a waste to go on a spring outing and not take photos, wouldn’t it? Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Shang Qing and really wanted to ask about Dongfang Yu, but after some thought, she swallowed the words before they left her mouth. However, unexpectedly, Chu Chengfeng spoke up, his voice somewhat meaningful, “Shang Qing, I heard your family is now in close contact with Dongfang Yu? Your family’s elder often brings him along to gatherings…” Shang Qing was stunned. Her smile gradually faded from her face, becoming somewhat awkward, because everyone here knew exactly what kind of person Dongfang Yu was, and also knew about the grudges between Dongfang Yu and the Gu Family as well as the Qin Family… Not mentioning it didn’t mean everyone forgot. So, for a while, Shang Qing, who was always straightforward, didn’t know how to respond to Chu Chengfeng’s words… Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit sorry and of course knew that Chu Chengfeng was taking her side. She glanced at Chu Chengfeng and smiled, saying, “Today, we’re discussing the spring outing, let’s not talk about Dongfang Yu.” Chu Chengfeng glanced at Shang Qing and half-jokingly asked, “You wouldn’t want to bring Dongfang Yu along too, would you?” Shang Qing’s heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head, “No, no, and Mr. Dongfang wouldn’t go with us either.” “That’s good.” Chu Chengfeng didn’t continue the topic and instead proceeded with organizing tasks. Shang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Chu Chengfeng drop the questioning. However, she still felt somewhat guilty and clenched her hands nervously. She didn’t dare to tell the truth. This spring outing was initially her idea, and then she found Chu Chengfeng, and they immediately hit it off. After all, the two of them grew up together, and although there was no romantic attraction, they were quite in tune in other aspects. In the past, they could be called partners in crime. They had done quite a few mischievous things together, and Bai Yun had suffered from their antics before. Moreover, she really needed Chu Chengfeng to take the lead on this, but at this moment, Shang Qing didn’t dare to tell everyone that the idea of going on a spring outing to Cloud Mist Mountain was actually suggested by Dongfang Yu. It was something Dongfang Yu mentioned last week during a casual chat. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel★fire.net He said Cloud Mist Mountain was at its most beautiful now, and besides, he discovered a rare Purple Heart Orchid there. This Purple Heart Orchid is a type of orchid, but its flowers are purple, with six translucent petals resembling purple gemstones. Nowadays, it’s an extinct variety, and it’s been decades since anyone’s seen a Purple Heart Orchid. There used to be quite a few before the Republic of China era, but they were recklessly dug up by some people, and the prices were inflated. At one time, a single Purple Heart Orchid even reached the price of several thousand Ocean coins. Some people tried to cultivate it artificially, but unfortunately, it didn’t survive the wartime era, so the Purple Heart Orchid became extinct. Who would have thought you could see one on Cloud Mist Mountain? Shang Qing, born and raised around the Shang Family, naturally understood the value of the Purple Heart Orchid.
