Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Yun gritted his teeth in anger. He had lost so much face in front of Xiang Yin and Cui Lin. Cui Lin might mock him when he returned and might even expose him to his father. Thinking of this, Bai Yun became even angrier.
“Herbs.”
Cui Lin was not afraid of telling Bai Yun. After all, he did not have it.
As expected, after he said that, the expression on Bai Yun’s face froze. Why did it have to be this? He really didn’t have it.
“Isn’t he just a little wine thief? I don’t believe that I can’t catch them with my ability.”
Bai Yun tapped his fingertips on the table gently. This Manager was a little too slow. He was about to take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth to relieve the frustration in his heart.
The moment Gu Man saw the cigarette, she frowned. This small change was naturally captured by Xiang Yin. Hence, Xiang Yin raised his foot and kicked Bai Yun’s butt without hesitation.
Bai Yun was extremely depressed. He looked at Xiang Yin unhappily and was about to speak when he saw the warning in his eyes. He was silent for a moment before standing up and walking out of the door.
If he couldn’t afford to offend them, he could just hide. It couldn’t be that he couldn’t smoke outside, right?
Bai Yun went to the door. He had just lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. A woman walked over from the dense smoke.
“Young Master Bai, why are you here? What a coincidence.”
The voice revealed a hint of familiarity, but Bai Yun could not remember where he had heard it before. He put down the cigarette and only reacted when his gaze landed on the person’s face.
Wasn’t this Gu Man’s sister?
Bai Yun nodded and did not react much.
Gu Rou looked at Bai Yun’s handsome face and her heart suddenly beat faster. If she couldn’t do anything with the heir of the Xiang family, the Bai family did not seem like a bad choice either.
She thought that she was very charming as she lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ear. “Young Master Bai, do you want to come to our private room for a drink?”
“No, thanks.”
Bai Yun was currently worried about the red wine. How could he be in the mood to go to their private room for a sip?
He was so angry at the mention of alcohol. However, the few people in the room were in cahoots to exclude him.
If they had told him the truth, this matter would have been resolved long ago.
The more Bai Yun thought about it, the angrier he became. He had only said a few words tonight. Did Cui Lin have to be so angry?
Bai Yun had always been a gentleman. He did not continue smoking in front of Gu Rou. After putting out the cigarette, he leaned against the wall and looked at Gu Rou. “Is there anything else?”
Gu Ron’s gaze boldly landed on Bai Yun, and she was even more tempted by his thoughtfulness. “I think it’s fate that we meet here.”
Gu Rou stepped forward to close the distance between the two of them, but this distance was not so close as to make people feel uncomfortable.
Bai Yun frowned because of her sudden approach.
How could he not know what kind of person she was? He was only speaking to her out of politeness.
“There’s no need.”
Bai Yun quietly distanced himself from the two of them. His slight frown represented his dissatisfaction, but Gu Rou acted as if she could not see it. She actually reached out and grabbed Bai Yun’s sleeve.
Just as Gu Rou was about to continue asking him to stay, the door of the private room next door opened and she heard the person inside urging her.
“Gu Rou, your Romance Conti is open. If you don’t come in, those people will go crazy.”
Gu Rou stopped what she was doing and looked at the woman who had ruined her plans unhappily. However, she did not dare to show it too obviously in front of Bai Yun. She could only use this opportunity to invite Bai Yun again.
“Young Master Bai, would you like to join us for a drink? That’s Romance Conti we’re talking about.”
Gu Rou was confident and did not think that Bai Yun would refuse. After all, Romance Conti was so famous. Who could refuse such a red wine?
Little did Gu Rou know that when she mentioned Romance Conti, Bai Yun’s eyes had already narrowed, revealing a dangerous aura.
Bai Yun had never believed in coincidences. Moreover, with the Gu family’s status, how could they get their hands on a Romance Conti?
If there really was, they would not let Gu Rou have it. From the age of the girl who called Gu Rou just now, it was obvious that this was a gathering between friends..
