Chapter 401: Why Would Catwoman Participate In Such A Lowly Event?
“Daddy,” Lin Xiaoyu called out without hesitating.
Lin Yiqian was speechless.
‘What a loser.’ She thought in disbelief at his willingness to call anyone his father.
Fang Heyang smiled satisfactorily. ‘Good child. Daddy will tell you more stories next time.”
After patting Xiaoyu lightly on his head, Fang Heyang stood up lazily and continued to walk away from the basketball court.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen’s facial expression had darkened as his fists tensed. If not for the unsuitable venue, he would have attacked Fang Heyang.

The enthusiastic fans were gradually escorted out of the hall by the security personnel. In the end, only Gu Nianshen and his teammates were left.
Li Nanmu was still overjoyed about having won the game.
He was spreading the news to everyone he knew.
“What a bunch of jokers, these bastards from Fu Zhong. Let’s see if they dare to act up in the future.”
However, everyone else did not seem as excited as he was. After all, they had all gotten used to winning, especially Gu Nianshen. His objective in playing was never about the competition itself.
Instead, his only motive was to play for Lin Yiqian.
“Let’s go.” He reached for Lin Yiqian’s hand while ignoring Li Nanmu.
Lin Yiqian could feel his sweaty palm shaking ever so slightly. If she had not paid close attention, she might not have even sensed it.
Surprised, Lin Yiqian looked up at Gu Nianshen’s face.
He had been nervous after all.
Was he afraid of losing?
Lin Yiqian had thought all along that he only played for Xi Xia. That was why she thought he did not take it seriously.
However, she was surprised to find that he actually felt this nervous.
“Nianshen, don’t leave yet. I have a task for you.” Li Nanmu caught up with Gu Nianshen and stood in his way.
“Task?” Gu Nianshen raised his brows at Li Nanmu.
Li Nanmu chuckled as he realised he had used the wrong vocabulary.
“Don’t forget to invite Catwoman to our celebration. We’ll make those bastards jealous as hell.”
However, Gu Nianshen was not interested in being part of the celebration at all. “You can do that boring stuff on your own. I’m not interested.”
Gu Nianshen was about to continue walking before Li Nanmu blocked his way yet again.
“Nianshen, come on. You have to consider our team spirit.”
Seeing how hard Li Nanmu was begging Gu Nianshen, Lin Yiqian was interested to know why it sounded as if Gu Nianshen was definitely able to get Catwoman to attend their event. “Why would Catwoman be interested in participating in your celebration which has such little value?”
After all, Catwoman was an international celebrity.
After asking Li Nanmu the question, Lin Yiqian turned to look at Gu Nianshen. “Are you able to get her to attend?” She raised her brows.
“I’m not interested.” Gu Nianshen shook his head without hesitation.
He was feeling guilty on the inside.
Why would he always feel guilty whenever that singer was mentioned?
Was he under a spell?
After replying to Lin Yiqian, Gu Nianshen lowered his gaze. His eyelashes had covered his eyes and hidden his emotions altogether.
He now appeared completely calm.
“Oh…” Lin Yiqian appeared somewhat disappointed. “I thought I would get to meet Catwoman in person.”
It sounded as if Lin Yiqian really wanted to meet Catwoman.
“Lin Yiqian, are you one of Catwoman’s fans too?” Li Nanmu asked.
“I quite like her.” Lin Yiqian nodded.
Li Nanmu’s eyes lit up. He found an opportunity to use Lin Yiqian to get what he wanted from Gu Nianshen. “Nianshen, see for yourself. Even our sister-in-law is one of Catwoman’s fans. You ought to get Catwoman to come to make her happy.”
‘This is the perfect opportunity to make your wife happy.’
Before Gu Nianshen could respond, Lin Yiqian made a tutting sound. “Nevermind if you can’t do it.”
“Of course he can. Nianshen and Catwoman have a close private relationship. In fact, they even have a working partnership with each other. Remember Galaxy’s party in the capital last time? At first, Catwoman had refused to attend. However, when Gu Nianshen showed up, she still gave in.”
