Chapter 166 Like a vixen

Jiang Yubai sat carelessly on the sofa specially customized from France, holding his mobile phone in one hand and shaking his car keys in the other.

His delicate and handsome face was full of the recklessness that only a rich young man could have.

Xie Qingcen stood quietly by the window, quietly feeling the warmth that belonged to Ruan Liuzheng beside him. His eyebrows were indifferent, even though he had heard the anxiety of Jiang Yubai on the other end of the phone.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm busy, let's get together again when we have time."

Jiang Yubai suddenly became anxious.

He sat up hastily, his delicate, handsome face tinged with anxiety. "Hey, when are you free? Besides, it's the weekend, and you busy people have the day off. Even if you don't want to come, at least find a suitable excuse."

On the other end of the line, Xie Qingcen said "Oh" slowly. He gently tapped Ruan Liuzheng's shoulder with his fingertips, his delicate features revealing a hint of impatience. "Then even if I don't want to go, then that's it. Okay, I have things to do. I'm hanging up."

Without waiting for Jiang Yubai to say anything, he hung up.

Jiang Yubai nearly gritted his teeth as the beeping emanated from the receiver.

He turned to look at the two people leisurely sipping wine off to the side, his eyes blazing. "Did you guess this all along, that's why you asked me to call him?"

He gulped down his wine, trying to suppress the rage bubbling inside.

Not only had his mouth dried out from all this talk, but his anxiety had also made him sweat profusely.

Damn it! Where were our supposed best friends? A bunch of traitors.

However, facing Jiang Yubai's anger, Gu Qingran and Yun Jing on the opposite side remained unmoved.

Gu Qingran glanced at Jiang Yubai, who was jumping on the spot, with a faint expression. He raised his hand and slowly clinked glasses with Yun Jing. His voice was cold and clear, "I warned you a long time ago that it's best not to provoke Xie Qingcen. He doesn't have time to share with us now."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

This private club is owned by Jiang Yubai, and this time, in order to lure Xie Qingcen over, Jiang Yubai spent a lot of money. Every bottle of wine is his private collection.

This kind of wine is rare, so of course you have to savor it carefully.

Feeling the mellow and fragrant taste in his mouth, Gu Qingran half-closed his eyes and lazily leaned back on the sofa, with Jiang Yubai's chattering voice still in his ears.

"Old Gu, aren't you curious?"

"Of the three of us, you're the only one who hasn't seen Xie Qingcen's wife."

"Let me tell you, Xie Qingcen's wife looks..."

Jiang Yubai circled Gu Qingran, chattering here and there, like the hum of summer cicadas.

Gu Qingran opened his eyes with a hint of resignation, his lips slightly pursed. He first glanced at Yun Jing, whose expressionless face sat beside him, then glanced indifferently at Jiang Yubai, who was hopping around like a rabbit. He

said softly, "Shut up!"

He had also grown up with Xie Qingcen, Jiang Yubai, and Yun Jing. They were all around the same age and came from similar backgrounds, making them a relatively close group within the aristocratic family circle. A few days

ago, he had been on a business trip abroad. Although he wasn't in China, with Jiang Yubai as his voice, he knew a little about Xie Qingcen's affairs.

But it was his nature, and no matter how curious he felt, he didn't show it on his face.

Gu Qingran took another sip of wine, then averted his gaze indifferently, not caring whether Jiang Yubai would obey or not.

He tilted his head slightly, raised his wrist to expose the goblet in his hand to the light, and shook it gently, the light red wine reflecting a broken light.

His eyes were clear and gentle.

Obviously, he had unilaterally isolated Jiang Yubai.

Seeing this, Jiang Yubai's tense body slowly relaxed. He curled his lips, somewhat disgusted with his own behavior.

Why did he not obey unconsciously? They grew up together, why was he always the one being exploited? It was so unfair!

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but snort lightly, trying to express his dissatisfaction.

Yun Jing glanced at him lightly, put down his wine glass, and said in a cold voice, "Since Xie Qingcen is not coming, then I'll leave too. I have things to do at the bureau, and I can't delay any longer."

Gu Qingran raised his eyes slightly, and he nodded, "Well, I have to go back to adjust to the time difference."

The two stood up together and walked towards the door of the box, one after the other.

They paid no attention to Jiang Yubai, who was fuming incessantly.

He felt wronged, helpless, but there was nothing he could do about them.

After all, he was the only innocent of the four.

Jiang Yubai sighed deeply and snorted coldly, his delicate features appearing pale and tender, yet filled with anger.

But he eventually caught up with Yun Jing and Gu Qingran. Everyone was gone, and there was no point in him drinking alone; he might as well go home and get some sleep.

Young Master Jiang was also very busy!

...

Gu Qingran, dressed in a light-colored windbreaker, followed Yun Jing at a leisurely pace. His aura wasn't as aggressive as Yun Jing's.

On the contrary, his work environment gave him a scholarly air not often found in ordinary people.

His eyes, however, were unusually indifferent.

Even though he hadn't felt any pain at the time from the few drinks he'd had in the private room, the alcohol had taken its toll on his brain.

He rested his hand on his forehead and walked slowly behind Yun Jing.

He knew Yun Jing's profession, so he had no psychological burden to use Yun Jing as a shield.

It was not yet night, and the nightlife in Yuncheng had not yet begun. The downstairs of the club

was a little quiet. However, Gu Qingran was distracted for a moment, and his steps were one step slower than Yun Jing. It was less than a step away, and a beauty suddenly rushed into his arms.

A faint fragrance lingered around him, and penetrated into his nostrils bit by bit.

Gu Qingran was pushed back a few steps by the sudden recoil. He finally managed to stabilize his body and smelled the fragrance.

His clear and warm eyes couldn't help but squint.

For a moment, he felt his head hurt more.

Gu Qingran lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. She was wearing a fiery red dress, no coat, long hair draped over her shoulders, and her face was charming and pretty.

Like a vixen.

This was Gu Qingran's first reaction.

...
