"I’m not getting a divorce!" Lu Jingchen firmly declared, his fingers rubbing the glass in his hand, smiling, "At least I’m not getting a divorce right now. I owe it to Song Qiao!"
Hearing this from Lu Jingchen, Xi Mohan immediately picked up on the underlying message, "Have you met her before?"
"We both grew up in An City, what do you think?"
Although Lu Jingchen did not explicitly state it, the meaning was very clear—he had indeed met Song Qiao before, but exactly when, Xi Mohan didn’t know.
Or perhaps, Song Qiao didn’t remember, but she had left a mark in this man’s heart.
Lin Musen and Gu Xicheng sat near the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room, watching the scene below. To be precise, they were admiring a beauty, completely indifferent to what Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan were discussing, or whether they were speaking ill of them.
In fact, they looked down on those two quite a bit. Normally, whether they had something to do or not, they liked to show off in front of them, taking advantage of their single status without partners.
"Jingchen, Mo Han, come and see, Night City has a new beauty tonight!" Gu Xicheng felt it was not right that the two of them were admiring the beauty without calling over their brothers, and quickly waved them over.
However, before Xi Mohan and Lu Jingchen could join them, Lin Musen couldn’t hold back and cursed in surprise, "Damn, isn’t that Zuo Yuqing? Why is she here?"
Hearing Lin Musen’s words, Lu Jingchen immediately frowned, got up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look down.
At this moment, there was a woman on the stage who was quite good-looking, but everyone’s attention was not on her, but rather turned towards the entrance.
Zuo Yuqing was dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, entirely suited for a nightclub, her hair neatly tied up, and without wearing glasses, which made her instantly recognizable as soon as she walked through the entrance, and she was immediately surrounded by onlookers. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire.net
Luckily, Night City is not an ordinary nightclub. Many top celebrities often come here to drink and chat, and the people who can enter are not ordinary either, so the privacy is relatively good.
"Fuck! When did Yuqing come back? How come we didn’t know?" Gu Xicheng looked at Zuo Yuqing below, starting his sentence with surprise.
"She came back today. I didn’t have time to tell you this news!" Lin Musen watched the woman below intently, yet spoke nonchalantly.
Xi Mohan was still sitting there motionless, clearly uninterested in all this. After a few seconds, he saw Lu Jingchen, who was not in a good mood, turn sharply around and stride downstairs, his lips curving into a meaningful smirk, his gaze dark and inscrutable.
At this moment, Zuo Yuqing was only accompanied by two bodyguards, not even bringing the assistant who usually never left her side to protect her.
Zuo Yuqing has two assistants in total; one is a regular agent, while the other is a bodyguard-like agent with concealed skills, specifically arranged by the Zuo Family for Zuo Yuqing. Normally, he is not only responsible for all Zuo Yuqing’s activities but also for her safety.
Many people seeing Zuo Yuqing wanted to come up and flirt, considering that Zuo Yuqing is currently a popular actress, the goddess of many national otakus.
However, the bodyguards by Zuo Yuqing’s side looked extraordinarily professional, which deterred many people, but some more prominent individuals still came forward, "Miss Zuo, would you like to join me for a drink?"
A young man from a wealthy family eyed Zuo Yuqing up and down, his face unable to hide his lustful gaze, clearly harboring ill intentions.
Zuo Yuqing looked at the man opposite her, and it was clear to any discerning eye that this so-called drink was not as simple as imagined, yet she still slightly smiled and nodded, "Sure!"
The man was delighted and reached out to grab Zuo Yuqing’s hand.
However, at that moment, a tall figure swiftly grabbed Zuo Yuqing’s arm, denying the man the chance to even touch his goddess.
Zuo Yuqing, caught off guard, was confident she could have avoided the man trying to grab her hand, but her arm was pulled from behind before she could react, and she smelled a strong scent of alcohol and a familiar masculine aroma.
Instinctively looking up, what she saw was a handsome yet slightly grim face which made her pause before she finally called out the name, "Jingchen?"
"Yuqing, what are you doing here?" The man looked down at her, his handsome face half in shadow, and spoke indifferently, "This is not a place for you to come, it’s better for girls to avoid places !"
Zuo Yuqing, hearing his words, took a moment to respond, her mind still stuck.
However, before Zuo Yuqing could regain her senses, the man who initially invited her for a drink, already fuming from having his goddess snatched away, glared at Lu Jingchen and said coldly, "Who are you? Where did you spring from? Let go of Miss Zuo, don’t you know what first come, first served means?"
Hearing the man’s words, Lu Jingchen’s expression remained unchanged, but a cold smirk formed on his lips as he directly spoke to the man, "You have thirty seconds to get out of my sight!"
