The more Xie Ke walked away from this suffocating banquet hall, the shame in his heart was like a rapidly climbing vine, wrapping him in darkness.
He hates.
He wanted to vent.
He couldn't accept the strange eyes from the proud door.
Over the years, he has been living the life he wants according to the plot he knows, and getting the admiration and respect he wants. Why have so many accidents happened in the past month or so
First, the nightclub was closed down, and then there was a problem with the Zhao family...
Now that the small domestic cosmetics brand he acquired, if he doesn't find new brand gimmicks for bundled sales in time, he will lose another tens of millions of assets.
The more Xie Ke thought about it, the more anxious he felt, and even his pace slowed down.
Suddenly, a slightly familiar and light voice came from behind, "Master Xie, please stay."
"..."
Xie Keyue stopped, and the moment he turned around and saw the person coming, his originally unsightly expression became even more gloomy.
The person who came was none other than the one who had a one-night stand with him at the nightclub that night—
The rumored playboy who spends all his days drinking and accomplishing nothing, is still the person he originally planned to marry with Shi Yunnan, Luo Yanchuan.
At this moment, Luo Yanchuan was wearing a formal suit and holding champagne from the banquet hall in his hand, and it seemed that he was also one of the guests of the banquet.
However, he was 'hidden' quite deeply. There had been so many farces just now, and he had never been seen in the crowd.
Xie Keyue looked at the man who walked up to him, and remembered the night that made him humiliated.
The word 'go away' pressed in his throat was about to blurt out.
Unexpectedly, in the face of his anger, Luo Yanchuan instead showed a playful look, "Master Xie, are you still worried about that night?"
He shook the wine glass in his hand and suddenly approached Xie Keyue's ear.
"You should be glad that the person who slept with you was me, otherwise, with those rogue alcoholics in the nightclub, your end would definitely be worse than it is now."
"It's just a one-night stand. I'm very satisfied. You seem to enjoy it, don't you?"
Xie Keyue stared at Luo Yanchuan, who had no idea what was coming in front of him, and almost crushed his posterior molars in secret, but he never showed his emotions to others easily.
Xie Keyue held his breath slightly and asked back, "Luo Yanchuan, what are you trying to do?"
Luo Yanchuan looked around, "Why don't we talk somewhere else?"
They were approaching the elevator room, and occasionally there would be waiters walking back and forth, and it was not good to be recognized by others.
"I don't have anything to talk about with a young man like you who only spends time and money."
Xie Keyue showed his usual smile, but it was hypocritical and superficial, "If there is nothing wrong, please Master Luo not to block my way."
Luo Yanchuan changed his usual swaying energy, and a sharp light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.
"Does Master Xie have a cosmetic project in hand, so he was thinking of seeking cooperation from Zhao? Now that Mrs. Zhao has cut off your thoughts in public, what are you going to do next?"
"..."
The smile at the corner of Xie Keyue's mouth solidified and slowly fell.
Just now, Mrs. Zhao was angry, so she mentioned in public angrily and anxiously a cooperation that had not yet started. Her anger was very superficial. Ordinary people may have passed it as a joke and did not go back to pay attention at all.
But Xie Keyue didn't expect that Luo Yanchuan could actually extract his secret intentions from it.
Xie Keyue locked his eyes on him, "Luo Yanchuan, what are you trying to say?"
Luo Yanchuan watched his face change with great interest, with a deep meaning in his tone, "Master Xie, since the Zhao Group is unwilling to cooperate with you..."
He paused and handed the wine glass in his hand, "Then do you want to try to cooperate with me?"
"Working with you?"
Xie Keyue was unmoved, but he was actually reconsidering the person in front of him, "Young Master Luo is famous, why should I trust you?"
"Just by..."
Luo Yanchuan handed the champagne half an inch forward, his tone slightly solemn, "We all live with masks on, and we are essentially the same kind of people after taking off the masks."
Xie Keyue stared at the wine in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
It seemed like a century had passed before he finally took the champagne handed by the other party and looked at it and asked.
"Tell me first, how do you want to cooperate?"
…
Hotel lobby on the first floor.
Qin Jian walked back quickly, "Patriarch, I have opened a private room, No. 014. Do you need a waiter to take you there?"
"Master Luo."
Wen Yibei lowered his eyes to meet Luo Lingsheng's gaze, and there was a rare dissatisfaction in his voice, "If it is convenient, I would like to chat with my brother alone."
He had no problem with Luo Lingsheng himself, but the other party kidnapped his younger brother without saying a word. He had a special opinion on this matter!
Luo Lingsheng seemed to have sensed the other party's displeasure. He had always been tough in front of others, but it was rare for him to compromise, "Of course, Qin Jian, let's go back first."
Shi Yunnan watched Luo Lingsheng leave the hotel lobby, and then hurriedly followed Wen Yibei to the box, "Brother, Luo Lingsheng is the head of the Luo family anyway, you should be a little more polite to him."
"You're welcome? It's good that I didn't lose my temper at him on the spot."
Wen Yibei dragged his younger brother into the box and closed the door again.
His usual gentle eyes showed a bit of seriousness, half angry and half helpless, "Shi Yunnan! Hurry up and make it clear to me! When did you meet Mr. Luo, and when did you get the certificate from him without saying a word?"
"Why, why don't you even tell me about this important life event?"
It's rare to see his brother lose his temper, Shi Yunnan hides his lips in a guilty conscience, and it's rare to be a little cowardly, "The time is too fast, and you are too busy, I didn't have time to say it."
"Stop using this rhetoric to perfunctory me."
Wen Yibei sat down with his shoulders down, serious, "You must tell me what you said today, otherwise I won't be able to let you out even if I block the door."
Shi Yunnan felt that Wen Yibei was cute and serious, and let out a chuckle unconsciously.
Immediately after that, he hurriedly picked up the tea set on the table before his brother changed his face, and poured a cup of tea for him.
"Brother, don't be angry, can I still do it?"
Wen Yibei softened his face, and there was nothing he could do about him.
"The old man used illness as an excuse to lie to me back to China, and then forced me to get engaged to that Luo Yanchuan. Of course I refused. Isn't this Luo Lingsheng the head of the Luo family?"
Shi Yunnan recounted how Luo Lingsheng came to propose marriage that day, "... I just tried to get the marriage license, and I just happened to be able to use this identity to pressure the old man and the others."
"Luo, Mr. Luo, he has no objection?" Wen Yibei felt strange.
"No." Shi Yunnan took a sip of water and said something rude, "We were love at first sight, you know? Brother."
Since they were caught in a nightclub that day, Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng have strengthened their compliance with the 'flash marriage agreement', one of which is to keep the 'fake marriage' strictly confidential.
Even without this restraint, Shi Yunnan planned to conceal Wen Yibei first, lest the other party would be angry that he treated the 'marriage event' as a child's play, and continued to perform the gentle preaching of 'eldest brother being a father'.
Wen Yibei shook his head slightly, "...I don't understand, Mr. Luo doesn't look like the type who can get married."
"Mr. Luo at a time? Brother, do you know Luo Lingsheng well?"
"I don't really understand, I just met a few times before and had a brief exchange with him."
Wen Yibei paused slightly, as if he had discovered a new continent, "I only called him a few times? Are you jealous?"
Shi Yunnan almost spit out the scented tea in his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Jealous? How could it be possible? However, Luo Lingsheng and I just got the license to get married. Are you still angry?"
Wen Yibei asked back, "I'm angry now and ask you to apply for a divorce certificate, are you willing?"
"That won't work."
Shi Yunnan blurted out, and silently added in his heart: Not yet.
Wen Yibei had expected this, and sighed helplessly, "Mr. Luo's position in the imperial circle of wealthy families is beyond doubt. I think he was protecting you in the banquet hall just now, so he should be reliable."
Hearing this, Shi Yunnan's heart trembled slightly, as if the sudden 'marriage' between him and Luo Lingsheng had really received the approval and blessing from his family.
Wen Yibei hesitated, "Yunnan, but Mr. Luo's legs..."
"Brother, I don't care about this, you'd better not ask him in front of him." Shi Yunan said.
He didn't take Luo Lingsheng's inconvenience as a nuisance at all, on the contrary, he was extremely protective of the other party.
"Of course I know, nothing else." Wen Yibei replied.
At this point, as long as his brother feels good, he has no opinion.
Now that same-sex marriage is the norm, Wen Yibei will not deliberately embarrass him on this point.
As an elder brother, he knew how much Shi Yunan had suffered on the way of growing up, and wished that someone could accompany his younger brother and do everything to protect him.
Although Wen Yibei does not agree with 'flash marriage' in terms of personal feelings, but thinking about it for himself, Luo Lingsheng's status is enough to create a relatively safe and comfortable living environment for Shi Yunnan.
"Shi's family, you don't plan to go back?"
"Ok."
Wen Yibei nodded and mentioned casually, "In this way, the more Xie Ke is not, the more important the old man will be?"
"Even if I am willing to stay at Shi's house, the old man still only likes him." Shi Yunan sneered.
If Wen Yibei stayed in the Shi family as the eldest young master, maybe the old man would have given him half of the care, but then again, I'm afraid it would be easier to fall into the hands of the mother and son with the gentleness of the elder brother.
Shi Yunnan's eyes flashed a dark light, he still remembered that in the original dream book, Wen Yibei's fate was not much better—
Song Zhiqiu's son Wen Chenglang, their cousin, has been jealous of Wen Yibei's musical talent since he was a child, and even secretly tried to stumble.
Wen Chenglang and 'Shi Yunnan' had several large and small frictions. When Wen Yibei came forward to protect his younger brother, he also aroused strong dissatisfaction from the other party.
Later, Wen Yibei accidentally learned the news that 'Shi Yunnan' committed suicide in the rental house, and even developed a hostile hatred for Shi's family and Xie Keyue.
Seeing this, Xie Keyue was afraid that Wen Yibei would come back to fight for property.
So, he secretly disclosed the matter to one of his admirers, Wen Chenglang, who was in the protection of his sweetheart and hired someone to cripple Wen Yibei's hands, so that he could no longer play the cello in his life.
The two brothers who had a successful life were defeated by Xie Keyue, who had the aura of the protagonist.
…
Shi Yunnan did not intend to inform Wen Yibei of the identities of Xie Wei's 'little third' and Xie Keyue's 'illegitimate children' for the time being.
The bad things that go against Xie Keyue tit for tat, just leave him to do it.
"elder brother."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't have too much contact with Wen Chenglang, and beware of him in everything, okay?"
Shi Yunnan is not sure whether the future direction will change, so he can only warn first, "I thought he was not a good person since I was a child."
Wen Yibei was startled for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Just because you have fought before?"
"Anyway, just listen to my advice and ignore him." Shi Yunnan said with a 'tsk', a little unreasonable.
Wen Yibei couldn't help laughing, and pinched his brother's cheek, "Obviously the milk fat when I was young has disappeared, why are you still so childish?"
"Brother, I'm serious."
"Okay, I'll just listen to you."
…
When Shi Yunnan walked back to the parking lot, he saw the familiar black body and license plate at a glance—
Luo Lingsheng was still sitting in the car.
In the evening, the setting sun fell on the man's side face impartially, forming a beautiful aperture with the refraction of the car window, as if everything around him was particularly fond of him.
Luo Lingsheng noticed the gaze, and turned his gaze towards Shi Yunnan impartially.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Shi Yunnan approached with a smile and glanced at the front seat of the car.
Qin Jian and Yuan Meng were still sitting in the front row. It seemed that Luo Lingsheng came to the banquet after the company was busy with the meeting.
"Finished with Mr. Wen? What about others?"
"Well, my brother's car is parked on the other side of the parking lot." Shi Yunnan leaned against the door.
Luo Lingsheng's fingers on the inside rubbed hard, his face extremely calm, "Mr. Wen, what does he think of our 'flash marriage'?"
At first glance, it doesn't seem like something a man would ask.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, and before he could understand the strangeness, he heard Luo Lingsheng add it lightly.
"I see that you communicated for half an hour and it didn't end."
"My brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we chatted for a while."
Shi Yunnan paused for a while, and mentioned the business affairs that Wen Yibei explained, "He said that if he is free the next day, he wants us to gather for dinner."
"Okay." Luo Lingsheng was half a beat slower, and there was a slight ups and downs in his tone.
Shi Yunnan stared at Luo Lingsheng, always feeling that the other party was a little strange.
Watch, watch, play again.
He put his hands on the edge of the man's seat and slowly leaned closer, "But my brother does have a problem that he is very concerned about."
"what?"
Shi Yunnan's eyes slid from Luo Lingsheng's body a little bit, and finally settled on an indescribable part of the man, and whistled lightly.
"He is afraid that Mr. Luo hurts his leg, and some aspects will be affected, and he is afraid of me..."
"..."
Luo Lingsheng's eyes suddenly changed.
Shi Yunnan raised his hands in surrender, without much repentance in his eyes, "Don't worry, my answer is very reliable."
Qin Jian and Yuan Meng, who were sitting in the front row eating melons silently, pricked up their ears instantly.
Based on their current understanding of Second Young Master Shi, these words must have been made up by the other party to tease the Patriarch, and the next answer might be even more shocking.
Luo Lingsheng sorted out the fluctuations in his heart, and there was a subtle emotion hidden under the mirror, "How do you answer?"
Knowing that the other party's words were not positive, he couldn't help but want to see what tricks he was going to play.
Shi Yunnan nodded his head in a pretentious manner, but he actually dared to make up a joke on the spot, "I said, Mr. Luo looks very good, and his feelings are not in place yet..."
"I'll try it when the time is right."
