Lu Nanze left the function’s venue.
Li Chenyu immediately jumped up. “Freaking hell! An outsider trying to attack my Brother Shen! He’s courting death.”
“That’s right. In Beijing, who can compare to our Brother Shen?” the man called CEO Zheng remarked.
Shen Liangchuan’s expression softened as he looked at the two men.
He said, “Dinner’s on me tonight.”
“Sure!” Li Chenyu said at once. “I have been calling you for so many years and all this time I was hoping for a free meal, but you just wouldn’t accept! Brother Shen, I am going to order as much food as I can tonight.”
“That’s right! I’ll gather all the other brothers and we’ll have a meal together!”
Shen Liangchuan paused for a moment, then he nodded.
With his approval, Li Chenyu immediately looked excited and picked up his cell phone. “I’ll call them now.”
These young people had their own heroes.
Shen Liangchuan, obviously, was a person these people saw as their leader.
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Liangchuan walked to her and reached out to take her hand in his.
She bit her lip and looked at him. Then, she suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear, “You were way too cool just then!”
He was slightly taken aback and his pupils widened.
Shen Liangchuan was always calm, so it was rare for him to feel touched.
But at this juncture… he suddenly felt like a young man being praised by the girl he admired.
His eyes lit up at once, as he looked at the girl with adoration in his eyes. Suddenly, there was this strange sense of satisfaction.
Just like…
Eight years ago, when he played video games, he would hear a girl’s voice through his earphones as he played saying, “Zi Chuan, you’re superb! Such great moves!”
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down to hide the emotions that were swelling and washing over him. He reached out to squeeze the back of her hand and suddenly whispered in her ear, “So how are you going to reward me when we get home tonight?”
His tone was teasing and his hot breath brushed against her face as he spoke.
Qiao Lian was suddenly overloaded with a feeling of shyness that sprung up from within.
She pretended to be clueless and replied softly, “I’ll cook you a meal tonight?”
He replied meaningfully, “I don’t want food.”
Qiao Lian paused as he continued, “I want you.”
A few simple words. And they had just rolled out his tongue like that, in public.
Even though they were speaking in a low voice, Qiao Lian still felt terribly self-conscious. Her face immediately turned bright scarlet.
She coughed once and turned nervously to look around. Then, seeing that Li Chenyu was looking at her curiously, her already blushing face suddenly felt as though it was on fire.
She wondered… if anyone else had heard it.
However, she was obviously overthinking things. Li Chenyu only took one quick glance at her before he turned to Shen Liangchuan to ask, “Brother Shen, this must be Sister-in-law?”
“How are you, Sister-in-law?”
“How are you, Sister-in-law?”
The people around them began to echo the greeting.
Being addressed this way made Qiao Lian feel as though she had stepped right into the ranks of the mafia underworld.
Smiling, she greeted them back.
After a short time, a figure walked towards them.
It was a very angry looking Shen Xiu. He pointed at Shen Liangchuan. “You dishonorable son! I’ve lost a big deal because of you! Mr Lu has called off our deal.”
