Yu Zexiao was never very meticulous in his actions, and with the lobster shell being so hard, it took him a long time to peel just one, and in the process, the sharp lobster claw pricked his hand. Moreover, the lobster meat wasn’t intact and he didn’t even bother to remove the vein before stuffing it onto Jian Anning’s plate without a word.
Soon, a small mountain of lobster meat had piled up in Jian Anning’s bowl. Then, he said gruffly, "Eat!"
----------------------------
Later, under the gaze of everyone at the table, Jian Anning finished the big bowl of shrimp meat, stuffed to the brim. Director Li then ordered several more pots of shrimp and more alcohol. Aside from a few drivers, the rest of the group got unquestionably high and headed straight to the KTV without another word.
Situ Xuan was naturally planning to go as well, and this time, Director Li had booked a large private room that could finally fit everyone.
The KTV luxury private room that Director Li found was the biggest one, with an oversized circular sofa and touch-screen karaoke systems on both sides.
Without hesitation, Yu Zexiao pulled Jian Anning to his side, but Situ Xuan followed like a shadow and sat down next to Anning.
Although the private room booked by Director Li was the biggest, there were indeed a lot of people, so everyone was squeezed together.
This had its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, Yu Zexiao could brazenly rest an arm on Jian Anning’s lower back. On the other hand—Situ Xuan was also sitting next to Anning, which he found extremely irritating!
As soon as he saw him, Yu Zexiao was unhappy, "What are you doing here?"
Separated by a Jian Anning, Situ Xuan merely swept a glance at him with his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Yu Zexiao felt annoyed by that contemptuous look, and he was aware that Situ Xuan was purposely provoking him. But he just couldn’t tolerate someone coveting his wife!
And the key point was, he was in a sensitive period at the moment and couldn’t reveal it openly, so he felt both angry and helpless about Situ Xuan’s "rascally" behavior.
Suddenly, with a smile that was not quite a smile, Yu Zexiao asked, "What’s the matter, the always serious Mr. Situ is also coming to KTV with us?"
And sure enough, as soon as he raised the question, many people looked at Situ Xuan with their vision blurred from intoxication.
It seemed like Situ Xuan was the kind of man who, even if he went to KTV, would sit quietly on the side without saying a word.
This made Situ Xuan a bit annoyed. His steely blue eyes fixed on him before finally saying, "Why can’t I come?"
"Alright then," Yu Zexiao immediately laughed mischievously, raising his voice, "Hey everyone, I think we’d all like to know what it feels like to hear Mr. Situ sing a love song, right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone jeered.
"Mr. Situ, give us one, just one!"
Situ Xuan, with an indifferent expression, neither agreed nor opposed. After a long while, he said, "I can."
The surrounding crowd cheered: "Ohhh!"
"But, I have one condition." After Situ Xuan spoke, his eyes remained on Jian Anning, "I hope I can sing a duet with Anning."
As soon as the words were out, Yu Zexiao pinched the soft flesh on Jian Anning’s lower back.
Jian Anning winced in pain and, not daring to cry out loud, just glared at Yu Zexiao, as if to say: Why are you pinching me? I’m not the one who wants to sing!
Yu Zexiao didn’t say a word, only to hear the people nearby cheering even louder!
