President, please comfort me.

Yang Xu pursed his lips: "I guess it will take a few days for this face to heal. Luckily, I don't have to report to the company until next week."

Wen Qi said, "You should stay home and rest well these next few days, and don't go out too much."

While the three were talking, the waiter had already pushed the dishes over. Wen Qi asked while putting the meat in the pot, "Xiao Nuo, where are we going to play tonight? It's rare for you to ask."

Chen Nuo poured drinks for the three of them: "A Xu, you can order."

Yang Xu took off his mask and sunglasses and said enthusiastically, "Let's go to Peach Garden. It's rare for us to go out and have fun. I heard from my friends in the rich and powerful circle that it's one of the top money-spending dens in the capital. The decorations are gorgeous and exquisite, and every detail exudes a sense of luxury. It has everything: beautiful women, fine wine, and handsome men. I've been wanting to go for a long time. I'll take you two to see the world."

Wen Qi puffed out her cheeks and chewed the beef in her mouth vigorously: "It's a pity Lanlan isn't here; she would definitely like it too."

Chen Nuo nodded: "Yeah, but I can't hold my liquor, so I can't drink much."

Yang Xu winked and said, "Who told you to go drinking? Let's go relax. You two go dancing and look at some handsome guys."

Wen Qi and Chen Nuo raised their eyebrows: "That's more like it."

As for Wen Qi and Xiao He's matter, before the meal was even finished, Yang Xu, thinking he had obtained detailed first-hand information, sent it to Lanling, who was far away in Xiamen, in the group chat, which made her burst out with several verses of traditional Chinese culture.

Two hours later, the three of them, their bellies full, slowly put down their chopsticks, went out the door, turned right, and headed towards the milk tea shop.

-

At seven o'clock, the evening rush hour arrived as scheduled. The streets were bustling and crowded, with cars moving slowly. Everyone was rushing to get to their destination, as if everyone in this city had their own destination.

Xiao He left work early and was sitting in his car with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep. After working all night and another day, his brain was already a bit malfunctioning.

The car was moving at a snail's pace when suddenly Ah Chen's voice came over: "Hey, Xiao Qi?"

The people in the back row instantly opened their eyes: "What?"

"I just saw Xiaoqi drinking milk tea by the roadside, with two other people with her, probably her friends."

Xiao He looked out the window and could vaguely see Wen Qi's tall and slender figure, her light steps and youthful, sunny demeanor like that of a college student.

As the figure gradually blurred, he looked away, recalling the dessert Wen Qi had given A-Chen last time: "Do people your age all like to eat this kind of thing?"

Ah Chen is twenty-five years old this year, which is not much different from Wen Qi's age.

He scratched his head sheepishly: "Boys are actually alright. Girls tend to like things like cold desserts, milk tea, juice, and fruit salad. I might be an exception, but I like them too."

Xiao He scoffed lightly: "You seem to know girls quite well, all by yourself?"

Ah Chen was puzzled as to why Xiao He was suddenly talking to him about these things, but he replied seriously, "No, I just browse short videos when I'm bored. Actually, I learned about them all online."

Xiao He casually asked, "Then tell me more, what do girls your age like?"

Ah Chen was quite happy to talk about these things. He was feeling down because of the traffic jam, but his voice became much lighter: "Food, watching TV series, working out, shopping, traveling, and so on, there are so many."

He said mysteriously, "Oh, right, there's something else very important."

Xiao He patiently continued to ask, "What?"

Ah Chen laughed: "A sense of ritual, yeah!"

Xiao He didn't say anything more, but silently made a mental note of it. However, he would have to go back and look up what "yyds" meant.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in the parking space reserved for Mi Tao and the others. Xiao He got out of the car and walked inside, while A Chen went to run some errands nearby.

Pushing open the door to the private room, Tang Chao was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone. From the next room came the sounds of Ye Lin and two ladies playing ball together.

Xiao He walked towards Tang Chao and sat in the main seat. He casually unbuttoned two buttons, instantly revealing his sexy collarbone against his fair skin, which looked particularly charming under the light.

Tang Chao glanced at Xiao He casually, then, as if discovering a new continent, raised an eyebrow: "What happened to your face?"

Xiao ignored him.

When Ye Lin saw Xiao He arrive, he patted one of the female public relations staff on the buttocks in a rather ambiguous manner: "Go on, I'll look for you later."

The female PR person knew this meant she was being asked to leave, but she still acted very sensibly, giving him a flirtatious wink and saying sweetly, "Then I'll be going now, boss."

After everyone left, Ye Lin straightened his clothes and came out. Tang Chao looked at him with disgust: "I almost threw up."

Xiao He was speechless. How could this guy have so many women who liked him? Not only these female public relations staff, but even the rich heiresses in the capital preferred to revolve around Ye Lin. He really couldn't understand it.

Ye Lin shrugged, looking completely indifferent: "In this world of temptations, it's all consensual, just playing around."

Tang Chao said, "Be careful, you might stumble one day."

Ye Lin lit a cigarette, unconcerned: "My parents are pressuring me a lot. If I really meet someone I like, wouldn't that be perfect?"

Xiao He silently poured himself a glass of wine and casually said, "So confident, huh? What if you meet someone you like, but she doesn't like you back?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chao's eyes darted around, glancing at Xiao He and then at Ye Lin, waiting for his reply.

Ye Lin shared his years of experience in picking up girls with them: "What else can you do? Cater to her interests, pursue her patiently, shower her with clothes, cars, bags, and money. As long as you're generous enough, you're guaranteed to win her over."

In a moment of impulsiveness, Xiao He forgot to think and asked, "So, does that mean if I'm not good to her, I definitely won't be able to win her over?"

Ye Lin looked at him speechlessly: "Brother Xiao, my goodness, isn't that obvious? You treat her badly, and she still pays attention to you? I think you're just dreaming." She said the last sentence in a very low voice, and Xiao He didn't hear it.

Ye Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, leaned closer, and asked back, "What's up? Why are you so interested in talking about women today? Did you upset my sister-in-law?"

"Hey, wait a minute, what happened to your face? I've never seen anything like this before. I've never seen anyone hurt you in my lifetime!"

Xiao pushed him away with disgust, silently took a sip of wine, and said nothing.

Tang Chao thoughtfully offered a way out: "What's wrong? Tell me, I'll give you some advice."

Now that he was already at the step, Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony. He lowered his head, took out a cigarette to cover up his embarrassment, and humbly asked for advice: "I... I accidentally said a few harsh words."

Upon hearing this, the two people next to him gasped. They had never experienced the full force of Xiao He's words, but they had witnessed and heard them firsthand. They would be severely injured, if not killed.

Ye Lin couldn't help but tease him: "Wow, Brother Xiao is indeed Brother Xiao. My sister-in-law is so well-behaved, cute and beautiful. How could you bring yourself to kiss her, who is just a little girl?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Xiao rolled his eyes at him and couldn't help but say, "Well-behaved my foot! You're quick-witted and have a bigger temper than me. You can even turn black into white. You're really good at driving people crazy."

Seeing Xiao He showing this rare side of himself, Tang Chao chuckled and immediately became a caring older brother, asking, "What did she do to you? And what did you do to her? Tell me?"

Ye Lin, eager to get to the point, shifted his position and sat a little closer: "Yes, tell me quickly."

Xiao He wouldn't tell them that he was angry because she went to pick up another man, but he said somewhat unnaturally, "She returned all the gifts she gave me last time."
