Rebirth: Once Again With You-Chapter 605 Shao Jingfei’s Invitation

It had been six years, but she remembered everything as if it were only yesterday. Thinking about him made her feel gloomy, and she quickly brushed away the thought.

"What can we do? Yi Yi is at the peak of her career. There will be plenty of time to catch up once everything settles down. Stop whining." Feng Nian commented. "Let's not waste this precious moment with moping. How about we begin the feast?"

The rest reluctantly agreed with her and said nothing more. In the end, they ate and drank until they felt full. After drinking a few bottles, their friends dropped one by one, leaving only Li Chunhua and Li Caiyi.

Li Caiyi had an abnormally high alcohol tolerance. At the same time, Li Chunhua only drank a bit before switching to non-alcoholic beverages. She followed what the doctor told her diligently.

"What should we do with them? Putting Zhou Ya aside since she lived nearby, what about these two?" Li Chunhua played with her glass of orange juice as she stared at them.

"We can call Fu Hang to pick Chen Ruolan up. But Feng Nian would be a bit problematic since her house was pretty far. Let me call Fu Hang first."

Li Chunhua watched as her sister took out her phone and conversed through the phone when an idea hit her. Smiling mischievously, she secretly sent a text to someone.

"Fu Hang said he would be here soon. Do you think Feng Nian would be alright to stay in Zhou Ya's house tonight? I don't think we can take her home like this. Let me call a taxi."

Li Chunhua waved her hand. "Ah, no need to worry. I had just called someone reliable to help us. He should be here anytime soon."

"I'm not an idle person, you know." Shao Jingfei groaned when he saw what was left after their party and the sleeping duo on the table.

Fu Hang was there until five minutes ago, and he took Chen Ruolan home with him. Initially, he offered to give them a ride as well, but Li Chunhua refused and ushered him to go.

"You are idle if you can come here in fifteen minutes," Li Chunhua grinned. "You came here with a car, right? Help us bring them to the car."

"When you said 'life and death' situation, I didn't think it would be this situation. Can you please not scare me like that?"

"Less talking and more action. Come on!" Li Chunhua insisted with a tone that wouldn't receive refusal as an answer. Eventually, Shao Jingfei had no choice but to comply.

It took some time, but everyone finally seated inside Shao Jingfei's car. Li Chunhua immediately hopped into the front seat, while Li Caiyi chose to sit with her friends in the passenger seat. It was a bit cramped, but thankfully they were all pretty slim.

"That's not it, kids. The answer to that question is...."

While he drove, Feng Nian suddenly talked in her sleep, making Shao Jingfei wonder what had happened. "You guys seem to have a wonderful time together."

"I told you to come, but you refused," Li Chunhua pouted while crossing her arms.

"Why do I want to join a reunion between girls? It will be extremely awkward for me."

"Hmph, you are usually happily surrounded by girls; why are you pretending to be innocent."

"Where did that come from? And how did you know that?"

Li Caiyi listened to their exchange while watching the view outside. The night sky was dark without stars, and she could hear a slight rumbling sound of thunder. Just looking at it made people feel gloomy.

"Xiaoyi? You have been quiet for some time. Are you asleep?"

"No, I'm not. You guys got along so well that I felt bad to interrupt," she replied teasingly.

"That's not true!" Both exclaimed at the same time.

Almost everyone was aware of their feelings toward each other, except for the two in question, who seemed oblivious or pretended to be clueless about it. Li Caiyi wasn't very sure about Shao Jingfei, but she knew Li Chunhua had deeper feelings for him.

She thought they would be together after 6 years, but nope, they still bickered from time to time and acted like children sometimes.

It didn't take long before they arrived at Zhou Ya's house. The Zhou Mother apologized for causing trouble and gladly let Feng Nian stay at their place. The twins and Shao Jingfei bade goodbye soon after.

"Say, are you guys busy this weekend?" Shao Jingfei suddenly asked as he drove them home.

"I'm usually free on weekends, but I don't know about Xiaoyi."

"There shouldn't be any schedule for me on that date either. What of it?"

Shao Jingfei rubbed his slightly reddened nose before answering, "My brother will have his birthday soon, and he asked me to invite my friends. Do you want to come?"

"If it's Mr. Shao's party, then there is no reason for me to refuse."

"I'm good with it too. I have always wanted to meet your brother anyway." 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

"Why do you even want to meet my brother?"

Li Chunhua shrugged. "Just curious. I heard he helped Xiaoyi a lot too. I have to pay him respect."

"I'm the one who did most of the helping, though? I never saw you paying me the slightest bit of respect."

"Why are you even trying to compete with your boss? So childish."

Right. After six years, Shao Junfei was promoted to CEO from his previous position. He was officially the head of Glorious Days company after Shao Yufei retired.

Li Caiyi met him several times in the company, but he didn't act or treat her differently just because he was the CEO now.

Li Caiyi heard that Shao Junfei wanted to put Shao Jingfei in a higher position, but the latter refused the offer. Because he wasn't interested in the family's share and preferred to work as an editor than any other position.

She suspected that Shao Jingfei also wanted to avoid a possible conflict with his family.

"But I think this is the first time you voluntarily decided to follow a family event like this? If it's the usual you, you will use many reasons to refuse, so why change your mind now?"

Shao Jingfei heaved a long sigh. Exhaustion was written all over his face. "My brother forced me to come. He rarely threatened me using my weakness, but this time he wouldn't take a no as an answer."

"He held your weakness? Now I feel more inclined to talk to him and ask him what your weaknesses are."

"Don't you dare," Shao Jingfei hissed before looking at Li Caiyi through the rearview mirror.

"Oh yeah, Caiyi. I tried to ask around about the scriptwriting offer you asked me about before, and it seemed the rumor was true. Your manager should have accepted the proposal about now. Congratulations. You will be making your scriptwriting debut. Take your time thinking about it because the company wouldn't force you to accept the offer if you don't want to. You earned us enough money just from releasing your original works."

Li Caiyi was delighted to hear that. After Chen Ruolan told her the good news, she couldn't wait and asked Shao Jingfei through text. This was even more than she ever dared to imagine. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Jingfei, let's accept that offer! I want to try it!"
