Chapter 38: Give Me A Futile Joy

  As expected, Liang Qi intercepted Yuan Rui who was about to rush up and hit him. He half-pushed and half-pulled him onto the sofa, saying "Yuan Shao, this is my younger brother, he's young and doesn't understand things, please be more tolerant."

  ”

  "I see that you Starlight Heaven and Earth don't want to open" Yuan Rui feared Chen Yan's skills, didn't dare to come hard with him, and vented all his anger on Liang Qi's body.

  Liang Qiyi was unhappy with these words, he gave Yuan Rui a step down, but this kid not only didn't come down, but instead kicked his nose and face. Today's events, if said in an unpleasant way, could be called attempted rape. If he didn't want to make things worse, he shouldn't have come to ask for favors.

  "What's going on here? If Yuan Shao wants to seal off this place, he needs a legitimate reason. This is a green and transparent venue under the supervision of the public security system, and anything that happens in any private room is within the monitoring range of the safety system. If something illegal really happened, we welcome an investigation." Liang Qi's words clearly told Yuan Rui that just because he thought no one knew what he was doing inside didn't mean it was true, but his intimidating tone made him speak with confidence, leaving Yuan Rui speechless.

  "It's all a misunderstanding, why is Seventh Brother being so serious?" Yuan Sui thought he had something on him, immediately changed his tone and smiled awkwardly, addressing Liang Qi as "brother" or "younger brother".

  "It's our shop's fault for not serving you well, Yuan Shao please forgive us. Today's bill will be on me, consider it an apology." Liang Qi's face turned red quickly, can't afford to really offend the prince's party, after all, they still need to use his father's place in the future.

  Chen Yan carried Jiang Yan to the guest room on the tenth floor of Starlight Heaven, seeing her drunk appearance, he couldn't help but want to slap her awake, this dead girl really had no sense of propriety anymore.

  Jiang Fang is extremely doting on this little sister, not bearing to let her suffer any grievances. If he were to find out that Jiang Yan was mixed up with the Prince's Party and almost got bullied, who knows how angry he would be? This matter must not be let him know.

  "Ah, Brother Chen, actually I... actually I'm very happy. At first, I wasn't sure if you would come, but not only did you arrive quickly, you even fought for me." Jiang Yan lay on the bed in distress, yet her tone was full of joy. From the moment Yuan Rui started pouring wine for her, her heart had been as clear as a mirror about what he wanted to do, but she didn't refuse, and instead only called Chen Ye, letting things unfold naturally.

  She hadn't seen Chen Yan for a long time, and she wanted to go find him but was afraid of making an appearance that would displease him. So, taking advantage of Yuan Rui's invitation to herself, she made a bold move to see if he cared about her.

  She saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, and saw him get angry because of being bullied by others. The joy in Jiang Yan's heart spread to her eyes, which became moist at this moment. At that time, she did not think that her temporary impulsiveness would bring great trouble to Chen Yan in the future.

  "A girl should be mindful of her behavior outside, if I had arrived a few minutes later today, the consequences would have been unthinkable. You must always be cautious, not everyone in this world has good intentions." He had originally intended to scold Jiang Yan severely, but seeing how distressed she looked, his anger only managed to produce these few words, which didn't even amount to a reprimand.

  "Ah Yan gege, I like you, for a very long time." Jiang Yan's voice was trembling with tears, if not for the courage from the wine, she might never have said this out loud. She knew that his kindness towards her was partly because of his close relationship with Jiang Fang, but even so, she had willingly followed him around all along.

  "Xiao Yan, I've told you before that I have a girlfriend and we're doing great," Chen Yan sighed helplessly. "You've had too much to drink, get some rest and stop thinking nonsense." With that, he walked towards the door.

  A tall figure walked resolutely in the dim light, "I'm drunk, but what I said isn't drunken nonsense. I just like you. You have a girlfriend, I still like you, and I won't give up." Jiang Yan shouted this at the door, and she heard the sound of the door slamming shut, like waves crashing against rocks, shattering into millions of droplets.

  As soon as Xia Xi stepped into "Hu Yu", the hot air rushed in, outside was the cold winter month, but the temperature inside was comparable to June. She took off her coat and put it in the storage cabinet outside, wearing only a thin sweater still felt hot, following the boiling music sound walked in, her eyes were immediately attracted by the colorful and bright clothes of the men.

  The makeup is delicate, the figure is charming, and the women who shuttle back and forth with wine glasses are mostly wearing gorgeous evening gowns. Xi Xi looked at the crowd, then looked at herself, just like a country bumpkin entering the city, completely out of place with her surroundings.

  She settled into an inconspicuous corner, holding the promotional brochure handed out by the staff at the entrance, fanning away the sweat on her nose, muttering to herself, wondering what Chen Yan was up to, calling her to this place without even showing his face.

  The waiter came over and poured her a glass of lemon water, kindly reminding her: "Miss, don't throw away the flyer in your hand, the lucky draw later will be based on the number on it."

  "Thank you," Xi Xi nodded, subconsciously glancing at the number above, silently memorizing it in her heart. She looked around and didn't see Chen Yan anywhere, so she impatiently took out her phone and dialed his number.

  The moment the loud music stopped, the lights also dimmed down, and the light source converged on the central stage. The people below stared at that single bright spot with bated breath, their anticipation slowly building up in their hearts until the host's voice suddenly broke the silence.

  The crowd's cheers and applause burst forth like thunder, while some people whispered to those beside them, "Chen's got a big hand, but it's just an end-of-year party. Even Shu Hua, the leading actress of Provincial TV Station, was invited."

  After a string of song and dance performances, it was time for the highly anticipated lottery draw. When Shu Hua announced the winning number, Xi Xi had no idea that she was the winner. She had been in a daze since hanging up the phone and didn't snap out of it until the spotlight shone on her, at which point she stumbled onto the stage with the help of people around her.

  The dim light was like a dream, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion. At the end of the light, Chen Yan was walking towards her step by step with a large bouquet of lilies in his hands.

  Xi Xi stood on the stage, smelling the increasingly strong fragrance, seeing Chen Yan's gaze, time seemed to stand still at that moment.

  A tangled mind couldn't make sense of things, the voice on the phone kept repeating in her ears, getting louder and faster, colliding into a thunderclap that made her suddenly clear-headed.

  "I am Jiang Yan, Chen Yan left in a hurry and left his mobile phone on the hotel bed"

  "Do you really think he likes you?"

  "Xia Xi Xi, you're just a bet between him and Seventh Brother."

  Chen Yan walked up to Xi Xi amidst cheers and applause, the large bouquet of lilies in his hand appearing even more pure and white under the light.

  "I have a question to ask, and you only need to answer with a yes or no." Xi hoped that Chen Yan would be under the spotlight, his face looked even more handsome. She stared at his eyes, which were a deep, mysterious blackness she had never seen before. "Am I the bet between you and Liang Qi?"

  Chen Yan was startled by her question, his hand holding the flower moved slightly imperceptibly, his eyes dimmed, and he fell silent for a moment before speaking: "Yes, but..."

  "No need to explain, the game is over for me, I won't play along" Xi Xi interrupted his about-to-be-spoken explanation, casting a cold glance, her nervous heart sinking to the bottom with his single word "yes".

  She turned around, jumped off the stage and quickly escaped from the noisy room.

  At first, she thought it was just Chen Yan's game, and all he wanted was for her to beg for mercy, so she played along, wanting to see who would laugh last.

  Later, she became increasingly unable to understand Chen Yan's intentions. If it was just a game, why did he have to be so serious? She acted and acted until she got into character, thinking that was her own good fortune. But the truth was revealed at this moment. Perhaps she should be grateful for one thing - fortunately, she didn't get too deep into the act. Thanks for giving me an empty joy.
