"I won’t get a divorce!" Lu Jingchen spoke with certainty, his fingers rubbing the glass in his hand, and laughed, "At least I won’t divorce now, I owe Song Qiao that much!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel※fire.net
Hearing this, Xi Mohan immediately caught the hidden meaning in Lu Jingchen’s words, "Have you met her before?"
"After all, we both grew up in An City, what do you think?"
Though Lu Jingchen didn’t clarify his words outright, his meaning was very clear: he truly had contact with Song Qiao before, but exactly when that was, Xi Mohan didn’t know.
Or perhaps, Song Qiao didn’t remember. Yet, she had clearly left an impression in this man’s heart.
Lin Musen and Gu Xicheng had been sitting near the floor-to-ceiling window in the private room the whole time, watching the scene below. To be precise, they were gazing at beauties, totally indifferent to what Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan were discussing, whether they were speaking ill of them or not.
In fact, they held contempt for those two guys who, for no particular reason, loved to show off their significant others in front of them, bullying them for being single.
"Jingchen, Mo Han, come quickly and see, Night City has a new beauty tonight!" Gu Xicheng felt it was not right that the two were ogling beauties without calling their brothers over, hurriedly waving at them.
However, before Xi Mohan and Lu Jingchen could join, Lin Musen had already blurted out a curse in surprise, "F*ck, isn’t that Zuo Yuqing? What’s she doing here?"
Hearing Lin Musen’s words, Lu Jingchen immediately frowned, stood up, and walked over to the window to look down.
At this moment, a woman with a relatively refined and pretty appearance stood on the stage. However, everyone’s attention wasn’t on the woman on stage but was instead turned toward the entrance.
Zuo Yuqing, dressed in tight black clothes, in a perfect nightclub outfit, had her hair neatly tied up with no glasses on her face, which made her immediately recognizable upon entering the door. She was quickly surrounded and watched by the crowd.
Fortunately, Night City wasn’t your average nightclub. Many top celebrities often came here to drink and chat, and those who could get in were not ordinary people. Privacy was relatively well protected.
"Damn! When did Yuqing come back? How come none of us knew?" Gu Xicheng, watching Zuo Yuqing below, expressed his surprise.
"She came back today, and I didn’t have time to tell you the news!" Lin Musen, without taking his eyes off the woman below, spoke unfazed.
Xi Mohan still sat there motionless, clearly uninterested in all this. A few seconds later, he looked at Lu Jingchen, whose expression wasn’t very good, saw him turn around neatly, and walked downstairs with long strides, yet revealed a meaningfully deep smile, his eyes dark and unreadable.
At this time, Zuo Yuqing was only accompanied by two bodyguards, not even bringing the assistant who would usually be by her side to protect her.
Zuo Yuqing had two assistants, one of whom was a regular agent, and the other, a bodyguard-like figure proficient in martial arts, arranged by the Zuo Family specifically for Yuqing. Normally responsible for all of Yuqing’s scheduled activities, they also took care of her safety.
Many people, seeing Zuo Yuqing’s arrival, wanted to approach and chat her up, after all, Yuqing is now a hot star, a goddess to the homebound guys nationwide.
However, the bodyguards by Yuqing’s side didn’t look like ordinary ones. This deterred many people, but some with a higher status approached, "Miss Zuo, would you be interested in a drink together?"
A rich-looking, good-for-nothing scion scrutinized Zuo Yuqing up and down, his face unable to hide his lecherous gaze, clearly with ill intentions.
Zuo Yuqing looked at the man across from her, and any discerning person could see that the so-called drink was not as simple as one might imagine, but she still smiled slightly, nodding, "Sure!"
The man was pleased and reached out to grab Zuo Yuqing’s hand.
But at that moment, a tall figure abruptly grabbed Zuo Yuqing’s arm, preventing the man from even having a chance to touch his goddess.
Zuo Yuqing, caught off guard, was confident she could have evaded the man’s grasp, but her arm was seized from behind, and before she could react, the scent in her nostrils was a mix of a strong alcoholic fragrance and a familiar masculine smell.
Subconsciously looking up, she saw a man’s handsome yet somewhat grim face, hesitated for a moment, but then directly called out the two words, "Jingchen?"
"Yuqing, what are you doing here?" The man looked down at her, his beautiful face half in shadow, his tone indifferent, "This isn’t a place you should be. It’s better for girls to avoid places !"
Zuo Yuqing, hearing his words, didn’t respond immediately, her mind stuck.
However, before Zuo Yuqing could collect herself, the man who initially asked her for a drink, now angered because his goddess was suddenly snatched away, glared at Lu Jingchen and spoke coldly, "Who are you, man? Where did you pop out from? Let go of Miss Zuo. Don’t you know the meaning of first come, first served?"
Lu Jingchen, hearing the man’s words, kept a straight face but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smirk, and he directly said to the man, "You have thirty seconds to disappear from my sight!"
