Chapter 263: Shen Wan, Come Out!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Wan thought about it and directly asked.

Feeling like he had won, Lushen raised an eyebrow. “What? Are you afraid? Huh, I didn’t expect that you, who has experienced Night Paris, would be scared of this?”

“I’m afraid you’ll be overwhelmed by desire, unable to control yourself, embarrassing yourself on the spot, and dragging me down.” While speaking, she glanced in the direction of the qipao woman, implying something significant.

Lushen’s handsome face turned red, and when the elevator arrived, he pulled her inside and pressed the button for the third floor.

“Aren’t you a woman? Why are you speaking so explicitly?!1‘ He gritted his teeth.

Shen Wan retreated to the corner, quietly creating some distance between them, her expression showing a clear disdain, with no attempt to conceal it.

“I’d rather do things without reservations than be like some people,” she remarked. “If I had known it was this kind of place, I would have preferred to eat hotpot instead…”

“What do you mean by this kind of place? Blame it on your dirty thoughtsWa! How is it my fault?” Lushen shrugged, raising both hands in a helpless gesture.

Shen Wan sneered and gave him a guarded look.

Lushen was provoked by her gaze, feeling as if he was some filthy thing. His strong sense of pride couldn’t help but make him explode, “This is just a damn restaurant! A restaurant! What the hell are you thinking?!’1

“…Oh.”

Lushen was frustrated.

Shen Wan reminded him with a sly smile, “Don’t stomp your feet in the elevator; it can be dangerous.”

On the third floor, there were private rooms on both sides, each with a different name, such as Hera, Utu, and Champaca…

Lushen led her into the first room on the right and hung the small wooden sign on the door handle.

Shen Wan glanced at the small characters on the wooden sign, which happened to be the same as the name of the private room.

“Order whatever you like.” Lushen waved his hand and handed her the electronic screen, giving her the ‘I’m so rich’ kind of expression.

Shen Wan didn’t hold back either, lowered her head and swiped a few times on the electronic screen. She selected whatever she liked.

Fifteen minutes later, the waiter collected the trays and smiled. “The dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal.”

Lushen looked at the large and small plates that almost occupied the entire table in front of him and asked Shen Wan, “How much did you order?”

“Eight dishes.”

She ordered eight, he ordered five, a total of thirteen…

“Why is it all meat?”

Shen Wan pointed to a plate of inconspicuous broccoli in the corner. “This one’s vegetarian.”

Well…Lushen was completely defeated by her.

Typically, when dining with him, most women would carefully peruse the menu, cautious and concerned about appearing reserved and tactful.

But Shen Wan was different. If she wanted something, she just ordered it. Not only did she order eight dishes in one go, but they were all meat.

The plate of broccoli in the corner was ordered by Lushen himself.

“Quite unique.” Picking up his chopsticks, Lushen poked the closest pork elbow and couldn’t help but comment.

Shen Wan lowered her head to eat her food, ignoring him.

Lushen:”…”

Meanwhile, in the first-floor lobby, two more guests arrived.

“Sir, do you have a reservation?”

Tan Yao stepped forward and said, “Mulan Hall.”

“Please wait a moment.” The qipao-clad server turned and retrieved a beautifully carved wooden sign from below the counter. “Third floor, turn right after exiting the elevator, the first room on your left.”

Tan Yao took the sign and looked at Shen Qian, inquiring with his eyes.

The latter nodded slightly and said, “Go up and wait.”

It was already 5:15 PM, and fifteen minutes had elapsed since the agreed-upon time, yet the individual they were expecting hadn’t shown up yet.

Shen Qian sat expressionless in his chair, seeming to exude an aura of frost.

Tan Yao accompanied him, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Shen Qian said, “Make a phone call and ask.”

Tan Yao immediately took out his phone, and after a long beep, he said, “Hello, I’m Tan Yao from Tian Shui Real Estate. Is Second Lord Song… not back?! Why? Alright… In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”

Shen Qian furrowed his brow and asked without words.

Tan Yao said, “They said Second Lord Song got held up by some matters, and he’s still abroad.”

If he couldn’t make it on time, why didn’t he call ahead to inform them?

Has he forgotten?

Tan Yao chuckled, it was just an excuse.

“Let’s go.” Shen Qian stood up, put on his coat, and the table full of delicious food remained untouched.

“President Shen, what does Second Lord Song mean? Is he deliberately messing with us?”

“It’s not quite that.”

Being delayed by something was true; making them wait was also true.

It was both a show of strength and a warning.

Tan Yao said, “People in the upper circles are said to value loyalty, return favors, and reciprocate kindness. Besides, you have saved Second Lord Song’s life. How could he…”

“This matter is indeed difficult for him.” Shen Qian chuckled lightly, but if it wasn’t difficult, he wouldn’t have sought out Song Jing.

Tan Yao was puzzled. “…I don’t understand.”

“If there’s anyone in this world that Second Lord Song wants to avoid, it must be related to Quan Hanting!”

That’s why Song Jing used this method to warn him. Requests that shouldn’t be made were better left unspoken, and one should think carefully before speaking.

Unfortunately, since Shen Qian had taken this step, he would undoubtedly go all the way!

What’s the point of avoiding him?

As long as he persisted, in the end, even if Song Jing didn’t want to agree, he would have to. You couldn’t repay a life-saving favor so easily.

Tan Yao opened the door to the private room for him, and Shen Qian walked out first. “Contact them and reschedule.”

“Okay.”

At that moment, the door of the opposite private room also opened. Lushen lowered his head and used a napkin to vigorously wipe the large oil stain that had appeared on the front of his white polo shirt.

Motherf*cker!

Disgusting!

He knew that with that annoying girl Shen Wan around, he was doomed. He confidently picked up a piece of braised pork, but she suddenly stood up, causing Lushen to shake his hand, and the result…

“Why did you suddenly appear?!” He was filled with frustration and anger.

“I wanted to scoop some soup.” Her eyes innocent.

At this moment, Lushen was planning to go to the restroom to clean the oil stain. He felt resentful and cursed under his breath. Suddenly, he stepped on two shadows, and he raised his eyes…

In the next moment, he burst into laughter.

“Oh, what a coincidence! President Shen is here for a meal too?” He forced a smile and his tone was casual, but it looked like he was asking for trouble.

Shen Qian nodded slightly, “Seventh Lord.”

He showed courtesy but did not say much.

Lushen’s gaze went beyond the two men and looked through the half-closed door into the private room. Although there was a screen blocking the view, he could still confirm that there was no one inside. In other words, Shen Qian and Tan Yao, these two gentlemen, were having a private dinner?

Tsk tsk…

Suddenly, the way he looked at them changed. Besides hostility, there was also a hint of mockery and a touch of ridicule. “President Shen has a good appetite and is in a good mood. Even though your company is in deep trouble, you still have the mood to seek pleasure and have fun. It seems that there are benefits to being open towards any physical encounters.”

He meant that Shen Qian wasn’t picky and would kiss any man who would bring him benefits.

Tan Yao realized the hidden meaning and his face turned beet red. “Mind your manners!”

“Look at how excited you are. Feeling guilty, aren’t you?” He said to Tan Yao, but his gaze was fixed on Shen Qian.

For a moment, tension filled the air.

Coldness flashed in his eyes as Shen Qian spoke in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

Tan Yao could only reluctantly back down.

But Lushen didn’t intend to stop here. Seeing the two about to leave, his eyes rolled, and he turned to shout into the private room, “Shen Wan, you’ve dirtied my clothes.. Come out and clean them!”
