Chapter 10 Nacht His shirt smells good.

My consciousness was out of control and became dull for a moment.

As a result, Quezhan didn't think about it carefully and just skipped those three words.

"Where did you see him?"

Xun Ang: "In the aisle of the VIP booth. His figure looks quite similar to his, but I'm not sure."

She only caught a quick glance when she noticed him, and the lighting in the bar was so chaotic that even if she took a picture, she might not be able to recognize the person.

Que Zhan came to his senses, as if waking up from a dream.

Why was she asking this question, what did it have to do with her that he came to the bar?

Also, he is not her husband...

"Beep..."

Just as she was about to speak, the call was cut off.

Following the location Xunang mentioned, he moved his eyes to look over there.

The first floor of the bar is very spacious. Beyond the stage and dance floor, there is a VIP booth area on the quiet side where people are spotted and far away. If you don't know the faces, it's hard to tell who is who.

-Xie

Xianshen received a call from his friend just after he entered Qingai.

On the other end of the phone, the environment around Lu Yanxing was relatively quiet. He leaned against the glass railing and said, "Shen, when will you and Pei Mo arrive? It will be a bit late in five minutes. I finally invited you out. Can I see you in person?"

Pei Mo and Lu Yanxing were friends of Xie Xianshen. They were from the same compound and had known each other for a long time.

The two had heard about his return to China some time ago, and said that everyone would gather together to welcome him, but they were busy and only recently found time. So they could let Lu Yanxing take the opportunity to invite everyone out. He could choose the place, and they just had to come.

"Send me the location."

After saying these four concise words, Xie Xianshen hung up the call.

The staircase leading to the VIP area on the second floor was located at the corner. After entering the door, Pei Mo went in the opposite direction of Xie Xianshen's pace.

"Shen, you go up first."

Pei Mo saw the woman sitting in the middle of the booth in front of the bar from afar. He didn't say what his intention was, but Xie Xianshen could see it.

The entire area on the second floor is mainly used to entertain some wealthy or noble young masters. The building structure is in the shape of a "U". The atmosphere is quiet and the field of vision is wide. Through the square field of vision drawn in the center, the stage, dance floor and every corner of the first floor can be seen at a glance.

"Here, here." Seeing someone coming from afar, Lu Yanxing ignored the beauty and walked forward, leaving the beautiful woman in his arms. "Where is Pei Mo? Are you kidding me? You said you would be there in two minutes, but you ran away in front of me? What's going on?"

Lu Yanxing felt that he was being fooled, and took out his cell phone to call her.

Xie Xianshen stood beside the glass railing, lowered his eyes, and pointed, "There."

It was the location in front of the bartender.

A woman and a man were facing each other, both smiling at each other, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

Lu Yanxing understood instantly. This guy was so eager to strike up a conversation that he found his target as soon as he entered the bar. His speed was quite good.

"Why did you choose this place?" He took a cigarette from his suit pocket with ease and said calmly, "I get bored of

this kind of thing very quickly." Rich young men often go to private clubs, and you never know if the bar will show interest in them one day.

This is what happened to Lu Yanxing. This place was newly opened and there were many girls, making it convenient for him to pick up girls.

"Don't you know why I chose this place?" After joking, Lu Yanxing looked towards the bartender with interest, "Shen, don't you think the woman Pei Mo chatted up looks familiar? What was her name, what was it..."

He had met so many women that he could hardly remember their faces, let alone their names.

But he had an impression and knew there was such a person in the Beijing circle.

"I remember now, Xunang!" Lu Yanxing was very sure, "I broke up with Zou Qi not long ago, and that guy made a big fuss."

Young Master Lu's emotions rose ninety-nine degrees as he spoke, and when he turned his head he realized that Xie Xianshen's gaze was not there at all.

He was looking at the stage.

There was a whole row of men on the stage, but only one woman.

The woman was naturally slim and had a graceful figure. She wore a suspender strap with overalls, which made her look wild and sexy. Her long black hair reached her waist, and she swung her hair in a beautiful arc to the rhythm of the music. Her dance was passionate and her appearance was even more stunning, attracting a large crowd of people from the audience.

“ Give me your love .” *

The singing voice floated to the second floor of the building, the echo was a little weaker, but it was still clear.

It was this line of lyrics that completely ignited the enthusiasm in the venue.

Lu Yanxing had an impression of Quezhan. He knew not only her name, but also the fact that she and Xie Xianshen had obtained their marriage certificate today. However, this matter had not spread widely, and among their friends in the circle, only he and Pei Mo knew about it.

"Isn't this your wife?"

Lu Yanxing sighed, "I've heard about the temperament of the only daughter of the Que family in Beijing circle for a long time. After seeing her today, I find she is really attractive."

Master Lu knew all too well about the marriage between the two.

In addition, marriages are not uncommon in upper-class circles; capital paves the way, and it is not for love but for profit.

Finally, he added, "We just got the certificate and came to the bar to have fun. We had so much fun."

Xie Xianshen's eyes did not move away, and a light white mist came out from his lips.

"Oh, they're hugging each other." As the scene changed, Lu Yanxing became excited. Although he knew that there was no love between the two in their marriage, he just liked to watch some fun. "Look at that boy, he's so close to your wife."

On the stage, several bottles of mineral water were sprinkled in circles. Meng Ye completely isolated Que Chan from the chaos, and she smiled in his arms.

That kind of protection is blatant and justified.

Lu Yan kept talking, and Xie Xianshen was annoyed, "Did you owe me?"

Now Master Lu lost his temper, smiled and said nothing, not because he was cowardly, but because he wanted to stop talking.

"In early April, did Winni and Levi have any cooperation?"

When the cigarette burned to the end, Xie Xianshen extinguished it. Obviously, this statement was not a problem, and Lu Yanxing also understood the meaning.

Levi's is a well-known magazine company and one of the Lu family's businesses. Its business is most closely related to celebrities and other public figures. In early April, we did reach a cooperation intention with Winni, an artist from Wanchuang Entertainment, and the negotiations are ongoing, and the contract signing is just around the corner.

"Yes." Lu Yanxing said frankly. After careful investigation, he suddenly realized that the matter should not be simple. "Why, did she provoke you?"

"I pushed it away."

Lu Yanxing didn't know the specific reason. There must be cause and effect for everything you do.

He asked: "Why? What's the reason that makes you, Young Master Xie, say that? Tell me. I'm all ears."

When it comes to gossip, Lu Yanxing is no less curious than women. If he really changed his gender, he could run rampant in the entertainment industry and no gossip could escape his control.

"Bad character."

"Is that the reason?" This was very different from what Lu Yanxing had imagined. He smiled, his shoulders trembling, "Deep, capitalists don't look at character when seeking profit. As long as she can create value for the project, I don't care about anything else."
"Really?"

Xie Xianshen's eyebrows were cold and arrogant, and he retorted: "What if I tell you that she asked the other party for 80 million yuan in compensation from the last third-party company she cooperated with for illegitimate reasons."

"What do you think?"

Lu Yanxing was stunned.

Yes, the Lu family is not short of money, but 80 million is not a very small amount anyway. It is enough to maintain his Lamborghini for a week.

There were many things that Lu Yanxing didn't know. Besides, Winni was secretly doing things that touched the edge of the law and were under great pressure. It was not surprising that Xie Xianshen knew all this given his reputation in the business and political circles.

In just two years, she jumped from the eighteenth tier to the front position. If she hadn't curried favor with the powerful businessmen, the road to the top of the pyramid, to put it bluntly, would take her a lifetime to complete.

As public figures, celebrities make profits for capital on the premise of mutual need, but once any negative news with a huge impact is exposed, it is also capital that becomes a burden.

After careful consideration, Lu Yanxing accepted the suggestion and decided that Winni was not the only choice for the project.

"You are a good brother. You remember to show the way for me."

Xie Xianshen looked indifferent and sneered.

He did not show his emotions, as if he was trapped in the darkness, and his eyes were still fixed in the direction of the stage.

-Quezhan

quietly left the stage amid the loud shouts of the audience.

The scene was so heated and noisy that some people even shouted to offer more money and specifically asked her to sing a few more songs.

She laughed and treated the empty words as meaningless.

"Why did you come down too?" Meng Ye also left the stage. Quezhan narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not here to ruin the party. Aren't you going to continue singing?"

"People also need a break."

Meng Ye took off the electric guitar and handed it to his friend, "If you keep singing, your voice will probably be ruined."

When the friend in the team took the guitar, he asked Meng Ye and glanced at Quezhan from the side, "Aye, are you still coming to the team party? You can bring your friend along, it will be more lively with more people."

Quezhan declined politely. Since it was a party within the band, she would not get involved.

"You go, just put it on my account."

"Okay, I guarantee you'll go bankrupt."

When the friend left, he looked at Quezhan again, as if he understood something, with an ambiguous expression.

But Que Zhan didn't see it. She just avoided the look and asked, "Why not go?"

Meng Ye said that their band often gets together, and they are all familiar with each other, so this time won't make any difference. Knowing that Quezhan was here to support the restaurant today and it was also his first time to Qing'ai, the host could not neglect his guest, so he suggested going to the VIP area on the second floor, which had a wide view and was quieter.

Meng Ye is Meng Xie's younger brother. Although they have not known each other for long, it would be too polite to refuse.

Que Zhan agreed, "Do you mind adding one more person?"

"What's the big deal?"

She found Xun Ang's phone number and called him, but there was no answer. The person hung up without saying a word and didn't leave her a message.

After going upstairs, Quezhan finally found the culprit who hung up the phone on her.

"Baby." Xun Ang stood up.

"Ang ang?"

The situation in front of him made Quezhan react slowly for a moment.

Xun Ang was in the semi-open central VIP area, and she recognized the man sitting in the main booth at a glance.

Thanks to Xianshen.

The man was wearing a crisp dark suit with his jacket off. His black shirt and dark-patterned tie only made his shoulders and back look more straight and broad.

He crossed his legs, leaning on the sofa as if in control of the situation, with one arm bent and lying horizontally, looking dignified and casual. His dark eyes cast a strong and indifferent look when he looked at him, and even without saying a word, the oppressive feeling around him was enough to scare people.

In addition to him, everyone else in the venue, including many men and women, focused their eyes on them.

Different expressions.

"They are, your friends?" Lu Yanxing was talking to Xunang. He recognized Quezhan but pretended not to know him.

"Yes."

Strictly speaking, Xun Ang and Meng Ye have no connection, and the meeting was one-sided, she meeting him. However, it would take a lot of roundabout explanation, so it would be better to just say they are friends to save trouble.

"That's perfect."

Lu Yanxing was very outgoing. The two friends just happened to meet each other, so there was no reason to sit at separate tables. "We are playing cards, together? We are all friends."

Quezhan frowned slightly. How could they be friends after just meeting once?

"Okay."

However, it was Meng Ye who responded faster than she realized.

Xun Ang came to Que Zan and explained the situation in general.

When Quezhan went on stage to sing, a man came to chat with her. His name was Pei Mo.

The call was disconnected because the phone was out of battery.

Pei Mo brought Xun Ang to the VIP area on the second floor to blend in with the crowd. It was then that Xun Ang discovered that there was a person in the room that she was quite familiar with. Wasn't this Zhanzhan's husband?

She certainly didn't recognize the wrong person.

I calmed down and thought, this is the situation.

She lowered her eyes and glanced across the table. She wanted to observe the environment, but in the next moment, her eyes met Xie Xianshen's.

In the gloomy surroundings, the color of his eyes was unclear, even darker than the night.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, until they are off.

The other people on the field caught this small clue and whispered to their companions: "I knew that Mr. Xie was the most handsome. Anyone who comes here will have to stare at him first."

The others had a deep perspective and had no idea of the relationships between the characters in this game.

"..."

Quezhan heard it vaguely, and she muttered something in her heart while opening her red lips.

Xun Ang asked her what she said, but Quezhan kept smiling and shook his head, sitting next to Xun Ang.

The game, but not participating, just the customer placing the bet.

The people participating in the card table game are Xie Xianshen, Lu Yanxing, Pei Mo, and Meng Ye.

The rules are not difficult to set. Winning or losing is determined by points. People who place bets outside the field have the right to choose their own side. If someone they bet on loses, the loser will drink together with the people on that side.

"Let's get started, friends." Lu Yanxing shuffled the cards and set up the game.

Everyone outside the venue chose their bets, and after everyone had chosen, only the lamp was left.

Lu Yanxing was waiting for her to call the name. Only after the name was called could the cards be dealt. "Miss Que, who do you choose?"

Que lowered her eyelashes, as if she was thinking.

At this time, Meng Ye's eyes turned to her, and he didn't know whose name she would say.

"Meng Ye."

She called his name, but she didn't choose him.

Lu Yanxing's eyes were filled with emotion. He turned his head to look at Xie Xianshen, raised his lips and said nothing.

Kind of interesting.

The result of the first round of cards became clear quickly. Xie Xianshen was the first winner and Lu Yanxing ranked second.

The first two are the winners, and the last two are the losers. According to the rules, if they lose, Quezhan and Xunang must drink, three glasses of brandy each.

Pei Mo stopped Xun Ang from drinking the three glasses of wine, "Don't drink anymore, I'll do it."

Lu Yanxing narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue, "You're really good at drinking, and you hide it well."

But he lowered his eyes, just three glasses of wine.

She picked up one of the glasses of wine and was about to drink it, but Meng Ye blocked it for her, "Strong liquor is bad for the stomach, give it to me."

"It's okay." Que Zhan moved his arm away to let him avoid the glass of wine, "If I lose, I lose. These alcohol concentrations are nothing to me."

She drank the three glasses of liquor one by one until the liquid in the glass was completely gone.

People outside the venue couldn't help but sigh to themselves, this woman is so wild, she drinks brandy with a concentration of over 40 degrees without any hesitation, one glass after another.

"Miss Que is such a good drinker."

The host, Xie Xianshen, spoke in a slow voice: "Isn't it too much to double the bet next time?"

Provoking her?

Quezhan curled her lips and said, "Okay." "

But Mr. Xie, don't speak too soon. The winner and loser are not yet determined."

In the next three games, Quezhan still bet on Meng Ye. She would not choose anyone else, including Xie Xianshen.

It was as if she was determined to go against him.

Everyone outside the venue saw it, frowning and whispering: "Why does she always choose him? She won't turn back until she hits the wall."

After three games, Meng Ye only won one, and Xie Xianshen won all three games without having to drink a drop of alcohol.

"Mr. Meng, it seems that your luck is not very good." The man leaned back in his chair.

In the whole scene, Lu Yanxing was the most attentive person, he was a wise man.

Part of the game is about luck, and the other part is about strength. But looking at Xie Xianshen's attitude, he is pushing his opponent to death, taking every step carefully, leaving no way of retreat. Meng Ye's chances of winning are reduced to the lowest. How can he win?

He moved his wrist, "Please."

Twelve glasses of brandy were placed in front of each person, but he smiled calmly.

Xun Ang couldn't bear to be alone, so he picked up a glass of wine and wanted to drink it for Que Zhan, but Que Zhan stopped him. His slender fingers circled the outer wall of the glass and then moved them to his lips, "No one needs to stop me, I can drink it."

"Dong."

The empty glass hit the table top, one after another, with crisp sounds.

Xie Xianshen raised his eyes, and every movement she made while drinking was reflected in his eyes.

He slowly turned the watch strap on his wrist, frowning slightly. She was quite smart, but now she has lost all her intelligence.

Quezhan had drunk who knows how many glasses of wine and her body was slightly shaking. Meng Ye supported her by her side and was also worried about her: "Zhanzhan."

After this name was called out, the scene was quiet for a moment.

Just a moment.

Lu Yanxing looked up inadvertently and was stunned.

Damn, Master Xie's eyes are like a knife, but when he looks at the person involved, he seems to not care at all.

"It's okay, I can drink a lot."

She was telling the truth. This little bit of alcohol couldn't do anything to her. She held the last glass of wine in one hand and faced Xie Xianshen. She didn't shy away from his challenge and drank a glass of wine. "Mr. Xie, watch out, this is the last glass."

The cold wine went down her throat and after she finished drinking it, she turned the glass upside down on purpose.

I mean I finished my last drink.

What Xie Xianshen noticed first was not this, but the moment she raised her hand to him, she saw a silver ring on the little finger of her left hand.

There is no need to explain what it means to wear a ring on the little finger.

After finally finishing the twelve glasses of brandy, he took a moment to relax.

A figure passed by in front of her at some point. He had red hair and was holding a bottle of water. He carefully opened the cap and handed it to her, "Drink some water to calm the wine."

"Thank you." She took a few sips, and the warmth on her white neck slowly faded away.

The game is over, and she will not attend this round.

She wasn't drunk, she just felt it was boring, so she left. Xun Ang and Meng Ye followed her and left.

But at the moment of leaving, she seemed to hear the man who handed her the water whispering something to his companion, intermittently, as if saying something about going to the door of the bar.

Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with me, but I don’t think much about it.

...

"Are you really okay?" Xun Ang was worried that she couldn't walk steadily.

"Don't you know me yet?" Que Zhan said that he could walk and there was no need for her to support him, as if he was taking care of a child. "When you graduated from high school, you were forced to drink, and I drank for you. Don't worry, you're not drunk."

"Sister Zhan Zhan." Meng Ye called her, "Sorry, it's all my fault."

"What are you thinking about? I never blame you."

Winning or losing is not a fixed value, no one can predict it. Besides, it's just a little bit of alcohol, it's not a big deal.

She herself didn't take it seriously.

"Actually, you can change the candidate." Meng Ye wanted to remind her this when he was present.

He was also very curious why she only chose him.

Quezhan chuckled: "I'm the most familiar with you among the four people, who else should I choose if not you?"

If we really talk about the degree of familiarity, she and Xie Xianshen have met more than Meng Ye, but now, she doesn't want to mention his name, and she doesn't want to choose him even more.

Xun Ang remained silent. She didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the young couple.

"Zhanzhan?"

But Zhanzhan didn't react to who called her. It was hard to recognize people in the busy environment.

Then, the voice called Xun Ang's name again, "Ang Ang?"

The woman walked in front of them and Que Zan recognized her, "A Jiang?"

"It's me." Cong Jiang smiled with curved eyes, "As soon as I entered the bar, I felt that I would meet someone I knew, and I really did."

"Are you finally ending your retreat?"

Cong Jiang is a famous Chinese medicine doctor, and he is very familiar with Que Zan and Xun Ang.

She had just taken office at the clinic not long ago. During that time, she gave the wrong medicine to the patient because she did not have a comprehensive grasp of her professional knowledge. When the old director of the clinic found out about this, he reprimanded her. Since then, she has been studying professional knowledge in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in seclusion, blocking out any outside information.

The three-month retreat period is over and I just came out today.

"Yeah, if I don't come out of seclusion, I'm worried that I'll be out of touch with society." Cong Jiang sighed, but when good friends meet, of course they start with gossip, "So, has anything happened recently that I don't know about? It'd better be something really exciting, I need to clear my mind after reading so much."

Xun Ang squinted his eyes: "Explosive? Of course there are."

Cong Jiang: "What what?!"

You can tell from the look in Xun Ang's eyes that she knows exactly what's going on in her mind.

Que Zhan replied perfunctorily: "It's nothing, she lied to you."

"Baby, A Jiang is our friend, this can't be kept secret." Xun Ang said.

Only then did Cong Jiang find out what exciting news it was: her good sister was getting married! and! I just got the certificate today!

Meng Ye was also stunned.

She and Xie Xianshen got their marriage certificate today, but why did she wear a ring on her little finger? Also, what she said…that she was the most familiar with him among the four people, probably wasn’t true.

"You still want to hide this from me? That's so mean." Cong Jiang took Quezhan's arm and asked her with a gossipy look on his face how her married life was and whether it was sweet.

Quezhan looked amused and sneered, "Who has feelings for him? It's a marriage agreement in the literal sense."

After he stopped talking, he turned around and met Xie Xianshen's gaze.

When did he appear not far behind her?

The man just looked at her, not moving or avoiding.

Quezhan was the same, he never thought of retreating.

The two gazes met head-on.

Even though the lights around were dim and dark, she could still see the disdain in his eyes, "Quite capable."

Xun Ang sent the lamp back to Xiting Bay.

Before leaving, Xun Ang said that he had to see Cong Jiang off, so he would not go up. He was worried and reminded her again, telling her to go back and make some hangover medicine.

"I know." Quezhan waved goodbye.

When she arrived at the door of the villa, she entered the pupil pattern password and the door opened.

As soon as you walk in, the intelligent sensing system turns on several lights, and the light is everywhere, with warm light sprinkled on every inch of the new and neatly arranged furniture.

The elders asked her in advance what style she liked for these furniture, and each one was selected according to her preferences, saying that the main thing for moving in after marriage was to make her happy.

She was happy. Although she and Xie Xianshen lived under the same roof, they had two rooms, one for her and one for him, so they did not interfere with each other.

I gently opened the door of the animal house and found that the three little guys were already asleep, all very quiet.

She began to feel sleepy, so she went upstairs and washed up. Suddenly, she felt as if her body was a little hot, and her head was dizzy. She could hardly see the road.

Is it because of drinking?

However, she had already taken the hangover medicine...

Her consciousness was in a tangled mess, and she couldn't make sense of it at all, and her steps gradually became heavier.

I accidentally opened the door of a room, found the bed, and fell down drowsily. I opened my mouth and breathed slowly to relieve the discomfort, and my chest rose and fell.

"It's so hot..."

she murmured, her slightly moist eyes were slightly flushed by the heat. Even after taking off her coat, the rising trend of heat did not decrease. "Hot..."

The rising heat slowly intertwined into a net, covering her reason, and seemed to awaken her desire for love.

All of her reactions were related to one thing—

Chun medicine.

Who drugged her, and what else had she touched besides brandy.

It was the bottle of water that the red-haired man handed her.

When she drank the bottle of water, the bottle cap had already been opened. Also, she heard the words that he went to the door of the bar with the purpose of picking someone up, that is, picking her up, and picking her up... ...

damn thing.

She tilted her neck upwards almost unbearably, and the lines of her collarbone were clearly visible.

Because of the effect of the drug, her fair neck was covered with fine sweat, her long hair was disheveled, and her whole body was so weak that she looked like a pool of soft water.

I felt so uncomfortable...

I don't know where I grabbed something, but when I smelled a familiar scent, the heat in my body seemed to be comforted.

The smell is very light, it is his own sandalwood scent.

She clutched his shirt, curling up, moving closer to get the taste.

"Click."

The door opened and a tall and dark figure stood in front of it.

When Quedan opened her eyes, her blurred vision made it difficult for her to tell who the other person was.

As the man approached, the outline of his eyes gradually became clear. His figure and name were completely restored in her mind at this moment.

"Xie Xianshen..." She was sure it was him.

The scent of sandalwood in the air became stronger and stronger.

The unceasing beating of her heart struck every nerve, telling Quezhan that she could not deceive herself and she wanted to escape from this pain.

When she called his name for the second time, her voice was weak, as if it was burned by a sudden fire.
