"Quick, sit down! He’s here!" Su Zimo said, forcibly pulling Su Xuan down by the hand. As she held his hand, her heart began to thump furiously and her face flushed red. It wasn’t because she was afraid of being seen by her blind date, who had just walked in. It was because she was developing feelings for Su Xuan! This wasn’t the first time, either. The last time she interviewed him, her heart had started racing uncontrollably the moment he spoke, making her feel like a young girl with her first crush. Su Zimo quickly lowered her head, afraid the newcomer would see her, and even more afraid Su Xuan would notice her blushing. "Server, tell security to keep an eye on my brand-new Maserati!" a man in his late twenties with slicked-back hair called out haughtily as he walked to the bar and sat down. "If it gets a single scratch, I’m holding you responsible!" "Understood, sir," the server replied, though his tone was dismissive. There’s a Koenigsegg parked outside and its owner didn’t say a word. What’s this guy so worried about his Maserati for? "Give me a Martini, the king of cocktails. And don’t add any of that fancy nonsense!" the man ordered from the bartender, then glanced at the Rolex on his wrist as if waiting for someone. "Your drink, sir." The bartender placed a Martini in front of him, garnished with a bright slice of lemon on the rim. The man yanked the lemon slice off and took a sip of the drink. He spat the mouthful of liquor onto the floor. "Is this alcohol fake?" the man demanded, shoving the glass back toward the bartender. "All our liquor is sourced directly from the original manufacturer. Nothing is fake," the bartender said, pointing to a certificate on the wall behind him. "This must be your first time here, sir. You probably don’t know that we’re an authorized distributor." "Ah..." The man’s mouth hung open for a moment. "Well, in that case, get me two bottles of iced green tea. Your Martini tastes awful!" The bartender brought the man two bottles of iced green tea. The man opened one, poured some into his glass, took a sip, and nodded. Hmm, much better. "He’s quite the character, isn’t he?" Su Xuan remarked to Su Zimo, turning his gaze away from the man. "You call that being a character?" Su Zimo was flustered. That’s just plain rude and embarrassing! "His name is Gong Feiyang," she explained to Su Xuan in a low voice. "His family owns a hotel supply company called Lier. They’ve really cashed in this year by expanding their market, so it’s not an exaggeration to call him nouveau riche." "Lier..." A barely perceptible glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. "But my family is fixated on his family’s status!" Su Zimo continued. "They even said his looks are..." She trailed off, stealing a glance at Su Xuan. Compared to Su Xuan, Gong Feiyang, who was currently drinking a Martini mixed with green tea, was like a clump of filthy mud! "Passable, right?" "Passable? Not even close," Su Zimo pouted. "It looks like he was run over by a bulldozer!" "Ha!" Su Xuan was amused by her comment. "Don’t be so picky. Men act completely different when they’re with other men versus when they’re in front of women." "A man can be a perfect gentleman in a woman’s presence." "But when he’s by himself, he’s much more casual." "Are you like that, too?" Su Zimo asked, blinking her beautiful eyes. "Me?" Su Xuan leaned back, lacing his hands behind his head. "I’m a lazy person. Too lazy to put on an act." Su Zimo shot Su Xuan a beautiful smile, one that Gong Feiyang had never been graced with. Then, she witnessed something that made her blood boil. A woman wearing a short skirt and black fishnet stockings strutted into the bar. The moment she spotted Gong Feiyang, she spread her arms like a clumsy bird and fluttered toward him. "Ah, my little darling, what took you so long? I’ve been waiting for over an hour!" Gong Feiyang, who had only just arrived himself, opened his arms and embraced the woman, giving her a revolting spin. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 The bartender couldn’t help but twitch his lips at the sight. How crude. Utterly tasteless. "Little darling, what can I get you to drink?" Gong Feiyang asked softly, his arm wrapped around the woman’s waist. "Drinking is bad for my skin," the woman said, pointing to the dark circles under her eyes. "I’ll just have some of your green tea!" "You got it!" Gong Feiyang pushed a bottle of green tea toward her. "Honey, I can’t open it!" the woman whined. "Don’t worry, I’ve got this!" Gong Feiyang twisted the cap off and held the bottle to her lips, feeding her a sip. But the woman didn’t swallow. Instead, she held the tea in her mouth, puckered her lips, and leaned in to kiss Gong Feiyang. "Su Xuan, let’s go!" Su Zimo, sitting in their booth, couldn’t watch another second. Having achieved her goal for the night, she stood up and pulled Su Xuan toward the exit. As soon as I get home, I’ll tell my parents exactly what I saw! I’ll tell them Gong Feiyang is an absolute scumbag! To think he would go on a blind date with me, Su Zimo, while he already has a girlfriend! It’s a complete insult! "Mmm... Zi Mo!" Gong Feiyang, his mouth still full of green tea from the woman, suddenly spotted Su Zimo pulling Su Xuan away. His expression was initially one of shock and panic, but it quickly twisted into anger. "Zi Mo! Zi Mo, you stop right there!" Gong Feiyang shoved the woman aside and rushed toward Su Zimo, reaching for her arm, but she deftly dodged him. "You tell me who this kid is!" he demanded, blocking their path. His voice was harsh as he interrogated her, apparently having forgotten his own actions moments before. "Why are you in a bar drinking with him like you’re a couple? You went on a blind date with me!" Ignoring Gong Feiyang, Su Zimo turned to Su Xuan. "I’m so sorry to drag you into this." "It’s fine," Su Xuan replied calmly, unbothered by the situation. He muttered to himself inexplicably, How strange... Is this all arranged by fate? "Darling, what’s going on?" The woman, seeing that there was trouble, walked over. "I’m pissed! I just saw my buddy’s girl on a secret date with another man," Gong Feiyang whispered to her. He assumed the bar was too loud for anyone to overhear, but he gravely underestimated Su Xuan’s hearing. With his physique enhanced four times, Su Xuan’s senses were heightened, and he heard every word clearly. It’s time to end this farce. Wanting to leave, Su Xuan, who had been facing the exit, slowly turned to face Gong Feiyang and the woman. The moment the woman saw Su Xuan’s face, she gasped as if she’d seen a ghost. Her face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head. Without another word, she abandoned Gong Feiyang and scrambled away in a panic. "Huh?" Gong Feiyang was completely baffled. "Why’d she just leave without saying anything?" Then again, that works out for me, he thought. I was trying to think of a reason to get rid of her anyway! But an even more confusing event was about to unfold. Su Xuan addressed him coolly, "The Lier Hotel Supply Company belongs to your family, right? Now, you will apologize to Su Zimo and swear that you’ll never bother her again. Otherwise, I can bankrupt your family with a single phone call." Gong Feiyang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Dude, you’re really something else!"
