Shen Qian woke up the next day in his own home. His head was groggy, and he sat on the bed in a daze for quite some time before gradually coming to his senses and recalling what had happened the day before.

He was called out for drinks by his unreliable friends and happened to run into Xizhen. Afraid that Xizhen would find out about his ambiguous relationship with the young boy in the clubhouse, he took the initiative to approach Xizhen, hoping to deceive him and get away with it.

However, Xizhen was as cold as ice, barely paying him any attention. When he spoke to him, he would respond with only one or two words, and he wouldn't even pour him a drink. Afterward, he drank several glasses of alcohol one after another, and then...

Shen Qian patted his head, unable to recall what had happened behind him no matter how hard he tried.

He easily gets fragmented thoughts when he drinks alcohol. Yesterday, he drank so much all at once without realizing it, and ended up getting drunk. But it's not hard to imagine what happened afterwards. He must have left once he got drunk, and then Jiang Zixu and a few others brought him back.

Shen Qian even felt somewhat fortunate. This is actually quite good, at least Xizi did not question him.

If Xizi Zhen really finds out that he went to the club and invited a little boy to accompany him, it's likely that the marriage registration won't happen.

He scratched his head and got up from the bed to go to the bathroom for washing up. While brushing his teeth, the cellphone in the bedroom started ringing.

While Shen Qian was brushing his teeth, he answered a phone call. A smile spread across his face upon seeing the caller ID on his phone screen, and he picked up the call without even finishing brushing his teeth.

"Master Jiang, what's up with the early morning phone call? Could it be that your brother taught you a lesson last night, and you spent the whole night feeling wronged and couldn't wait to call me and complain?" Shen Qian's voice was indistinct, full of teasing, instantly blocking the words that Jiang Zixu was about to say in his throat.

"Just... just kidding, he wouldn't dare hit me." Jiang Zixu's face turned green and red, but his words lacked confidence.

He couldn't help but think about last night when he was brought home by Jiang Zisheng. Unable to restrain himself, he argued back a few times, and in order to provoke Jiang Zisheng, he deliberately mentioned his liking for the boys in the club. Jiang Zisheng was probably enraged for a moment, as he grabbed him and led him all the way to the bedroom, and then gave him a severe beating... on his buttocks...

Jiang Zisheng, that big jerk.

Young Master Jiang felt quite wronged. Although they gave him medicine after the beating, his butt still hurt up until now.

He's really annoyed with Jiang Zisheng now and doesn't want to mention him at all. So he shifted the topic to Shen Qian, saying, "Qian Qian, are you alright after we left? Did Young Master Xi give you any trouble?" Xi Zhen is infamous for being cold within the circle. Although Shen Qian seemed to really know Xi Zhen based on his actions last night, Xi Zhen doesn't seem easy to get along with.

Shen Qian's expression froze upon hearing Jiang Zixu's words. Even his brushing motion involuntarily came to a halt as he quickly walked into the bathroom to rinse his mouth.

"Jiang Zixu, don't joke with me." Shen Qian pretended to be casual and spoke, "Are you trying to trick me? The one who brought me back wasn't you, by any chance, but rather Master Xi Zhen, the young master of the Xi family?"

Jiang Zixu made a disdainful expression, "Who knows? When my brother took me away, you were clinging to Xi Zhen's side, almost rubbing against him. It's possible that he was the one who actually brought you back in the end."

"What... What did you say?" Shen Gan was shocked, his breathing involuntarily quickening. He couldn't believe it and said, "You mean I almost bumped into Xi Zhen? Are you sure you're not dizzy? Did you see it correctly?"

Jiang Zixu snorted twice and said something that made Shen Gan want to die.

"You not only sneaked onto Xi Zhen's lap, but also acted like a little puppy, sniffing around him and insisting that he smells good."

Shen Qian: "......"
