Chapter 601: 0591, let’s go together! Chapter 601: 0591, let’s go together! However, just as she had settled on this thought, the door to the private room was once again opened at this moment.
The sound engineer was adjusting the equipment’s sound quality, and the room was silent.
So the faint noise appeared particularly sharp.
Hearing the sound, everyone unanimously raised their heads and looked towards the door.
They then saw a figure in water blue emerge in the room.
At her temples, Su Ran’s pulse “thump thump” leaped twice, and a deep sense of helplessness filled her heart.
Because of the woman’s appearance, the entire private room fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared at her, each with a different expression.
The next second, all eyes simultaneously shifted to Wen Jichen.
Wen Jichen slowly lifted his gaze, his deep eyes landing on Ling Qingan.
Ling Qingan stood against the light at the door, allowing a clear view of her facial features, but her expressions were entirely hidden in the shadows.
Gradually, long-buried memories awakened, and her face, with every grimace and smile, came vividly to life in his mind.
She really had changed!
The Ling Qingan of the past was cold and haughty, aloof, her whole being exuding an air of delicate arrogance.
She was still arrogant now, but this arrogance was tinged with several shades of worldly change.
Her eyes always shone brightly, with a dazzling and radiant light.
But now, the light in her eyes was gone!
A shadow of gloom passed through Wen Jichen’s slender eyes, narrowing slightly as he sought to find any trace of her former self.
But in the end, he too was disappointed and was the first to look away.
All of this happened in just a few seconds, and to everyone else, there was no special reaction at all.
Ling Qingan’s muddled mind instantly cleared up, and she glanced at the room number before turning around, her gaze falling on the crowd.
Her eyes skimmed over Wen Jichen’s face indifferently, no different from how she looked at the others.
Cold and distant as if a stranger.
A fearless smile hung on her face, and almost simultaneously, she pulled open the door to the private room.
“Sorry, I entered the wrong room!”
But there was not a hint of apology on her face, her insouciance leaving others speechless.
Her gaze swept over the faces of the crowd once more, she raised her eyebrows, intending to turn and leave the room.
At that name, everyone in the room couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Facing Mo Shangjie with a valiant look, they saw him sitting on the sofa, awkwardly touching his nose.
Capturing everyone’s attention, Mo Shangjie couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
Could they please not look at him with those bewildered, love-stricken eyes?
Didn’t they see the cold, eerie gaze in the corner watching him?
If he didn’t speak up, he feared the next second, he might find himself with two additional bloody holes.
Mo Shangjie inwardly wished he could slap himself twice.
What was he thinking, getting involved? What was he thinking!
Why on earth did he organize this gathering?
Ling Qingan turned around, her expression unreadable in the shadows.
“Is there something?”
A voice tinged with a smile gently arose, and just from the tone, everyone could imagine her expression at the moment.
“Tonight we’ve prepared a celebration for our sister-in-law. You were once one of us, after all, so stay and join us!”
Ling Qingan’s gaze swept over Mo Shangjie’s face, finally settling on Su Ran.
Her tone was light, without any trace of embarrassment or difficulty.
Her hand, which rested on the door handle, slowly retracted as she finally stepped out of the shadows.
Under everyone’s gaze, she walked over and sat down beside Su Ran.
“A celebration prepared for you?”
Su Ran looked at her and gave a slight nod.
She picked up a bottle from the coffee table and poured herself a drink, then looked up at Su Ran with a smile and said,
As she spoke, she picked up her glass and gestured towards Su Ran.
Su Ran tugged at her heartstrings silently.
It was rare to hear a “congratulations” from her mouth.
She raised her glass to meet the toast, and with a “ding,” they clinked glasses lightly.
Ling Qingan curved her lips into a smile, tilted her head back, and drained the glass.
Afterward, she frowned in distaste, looking at the glass in her hand.
“This drink tastes awful. One of these days, I’ll introduce you to an amazing bartender. The cocktails he makes are sure to satisfy everyone present.”
Li Sheng approached at this moment, her eyes sparkling.
“Really? Really? Sister Qingan, are his drinks that good?”
Li Xu’s expression darkened slightly, and he cast a chilly gaze at a particularly excited young girl.
Ling Qingan raised her eyebrows smiling, “Really, really.”
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng became even more excited, “Male or female? Is he handsome?”
Ling Qingan propped her chin and pondered for two seconds before responding to Li Sheng,
“Male, and as for his looks…”
Her gaze swept over the several men in the private room before she continued,
“Although not as rage-inducingly handsome as the gentlemen here, he is still a warm and handsome ‘puppy’.”
Li Sheng immediately hugged Ling Qingan’s arm, “Sister Qingan, could you introduce him to me sometime?”
Mo Shangjie’s eyelids twitched; the temperature in the private room seemed to drop significantly as two icy glares swept over from a corner.
Li Xu stood up with a stern face and pulled Li Sheng away from Ling Qingan.
“Children are not allowed to drink!”
Li Sheng pouted her lips; she wasn’t a child.
She was of legal age. Why did everyone still treat her like she was not grown up?
She sneaked a glance at Li Xu’s handsome profile, aware that she was indeed old enough to marry and have children.
The atmosphere in the private room immediately cooled down.
As the host, Mo Shangjie naturally did not allow such a situation to arise.
Everyone present was too familiar with one another, and no one felt energized to stir things up with their matters.
Who dared to inquire about his affairs?
“You seem very familiar with this place?”
Mo Shangjie asked, his peripheral vision catching Wen Jichen in the corner; he was motionless, his expression indifferent, completely unfathomable.
Ling Qingan raised an eyebrow, pouring herself another drink while responding,
“A regular, naturally very familiar.”
Mo Shangjie swallowed hard, his tone somewhat cautious.
Ling Qingan paused slightly, then suddenly laughed softly.
She looked at Mo Shangjie with an inexplicably amused expression.
“Of course, to spend money. What else would I come here for?”
At these words, silence fell upon the private room.
In the corner, Wen Jichen’s dark eyes suddenly shrank.
An icy chill spread from the darkness, almost solidifying the surrounding air into ice.
However, at this moment, Ling Qingan suddenly circled around the coffee table and sat down next to Mo Shangjie.
