In the private room, a few buddies were all amused by his funny appearance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Qian Qian, did you lose your memory?" Jiang Zixu couldn't help but speak as he looked at Shen Qian. "We were just playing together earlier, why did you go to the restroom for so long? I was about to come find you, but then I bumped into my eldest brother as soon as I stepped out of the private room. Talk about bad luck..." Under the cold gaze of his own eldest brother, Jiang Zixu's voice became softer and softer, until finally, he ended up speaking timidly, with no strength left in his words.

Shen Qian was about to go crazy.

Jiang Zixu, this fool, can't he see that this is a way to free himself?

Now, it's even worse. Not only did I fail to escape, but I also got exposed. It's so embarrassing and humiliating.

Shen Qiansheng helplessly wiped his face and stole a glance at Xi Dashao, who was still sitting on the sofa expressionlessly. It infuriated him so much that he almost bit his teeth to pieces.

The plan to deceive and marry one's archenemy has already taken a major step towards success, and it absolutely cannot fail at this critical moment.

After some contemplation, Shen Qian took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Xi Zhen's sofa.

Everyone was puzzled by his actions, wondering what he was going to do next.

Seated alone on the sofa in that spot was Xi Zhen, the young master of the Xi family. Could it be that Shen Qian intended to approach the young master and strike up a conversation?

This isn't very likely, right?

Who doesn't know that Young Master Xi is famous for being aloof and distant? His presence is overwhelming, making it impossible for strangers to approach him. Anyone who dares to go up and strike a conversation with him is practically asking for trouble.

In the hearts of the crowd, Xizhen's image, besides being unapproachable with a cold face, also had titles such as academic genius, top student, and study fanatic... the cold and domineering CEO.

Shen Qian's group of friends are roughly the same age as Xi Zhen, the biggest age difference being only three or four years. However, their life experiences are vastly different.

These young masters from wealthy families are idle all day long, only thinking about indulging in food, drink, and pleasure. They lack ambition and have no desire to progress. On the other hand, Xī Zhēn, who is the same age, has achieved success in his career. He is mature and steady, showing no sign of the impatience one would expect at his age.

In comparison, the gap becomes apparent.

In the social circle, whenever those wives gather together, it is certain that when the topic of Xizhen is mentioned, they will inevitably belittle their own sons.

Xizhen is a typical child from someone else's family.

Shen Qian's friends and acquaintances, no matter what they thought, all believed that it was impossible for Shen Qian, a playboy, to know Xi Zhen.

These two people can never play together, unless Master Xi is blind and has been enchanted by this little bastard, Shen Gan.

Shen Qian didn't know what others were thinking in their hearts. He was extremely nervous at this moment and walked over to Xi Zhen's side. Ignoring the doubtful gazes of his cronies, he plopped down on the sofa next to Xi Zhen.

In the end, feeling that the distance was a little far, she moved a bit towards Xizhen's side. Her leg accidentally brushed against Xizhen's when moving over.

Fox and dog friends: "... what kind of outrageous maneuver is this, Qianqian?!!"

Shen Qian nervously bit his lip, sitting up straight and not daring to look towards Xi Zhen. His legs were together, his back was tall, and his hands restlessly rubbed his pants. This sitting posture looked exactly like an elementary school student who had done something wrong and was apologizing to the teacher.

"Xi...Xi Zhen, long time no see..." Shen Qian was at a loss for words, after struggling for a while, he managed to blurt out this sentence, stuttering as he spoke.

Xi Zhen turned his head and glanced at him, emotionlessly saying, "Soon."

Fox and dog friends: "......" Oh my god! They actually know each other!

They only saw each other in the afternoon and were publicly embarrassed. Shen Qian awkwardly laughed twice. Now he didn't know what to say. He felt a bit thirsty, so he bent down and took an empty cup from the low table in front, poured a glass of wine and wanted to drink.

In the moment when he picked up the wine glass, Shen Qian caught a glimpse of Xi Zhen. Just as there was a few centimeters gap between the cup and his lips, his movement suddenly paused. With a swift motion, he forcefully handed the wine glass to Xi Zhen.

"You haven't had a drink since you arrived here, right? You must be thirsty after such a long time. Here... have a drink."
