Jiang Qianqian caught him looking at her and flashed him a bright smile.
Wu Hao remained expressionless and quickly withdrew his gaze. Switching his phone to silent mode, he intimately leaned toward Xu Wennuan’s ear and murmured, “I need to go answer a call. It’s Master Lee.”
“Okay.” Xu Wennuan nodded her head in agreement as she took a bite off her slice of watermelon.
Wu Hao reached his arm out and stroked her hair before rising and walking out of the banquet hall.
Jiang Qianqian, too, rose from her seat but went in the opposite direction toward the bathroom.
Shortly after, Wu Hao returned to the hall and walked back to his table. Instead of sitting, he bent down and wrapped Xu Wennuan in his arms, whispering, “Master Lee needs to see me for something unexpected that’s come up. I may need to return to town.”
Wu Hao paused briefly before continuing. “Keep enjoying yourself here with Xiao’ai. I’ll pick you up after I’m done, okay?”
Xu Wennuan pouted her lips and, upon receiving a peck from Wu Hao, nodded her head and said, “Okay.”
“Don’t drive too fast,” she added.
“Okay,” Wu Hao answered and lowered his head to kiss her temple. Seemingly worried about leaving her alone, he further instructed, “And don’t drink too much alcohol.”
“Yeah, I know.” Xu Wennuan responded with a look of exasperation over his long goodbye.
Wu Hao smiled faintly and lowered his head to kiss her again before taking his coat and leaving.
…
Five minutes after Wu Hao had left, Jiang Qianqian came out from the bathroom and returned to her seat. She lifted her bag and said a few words to the socialite next to her before leaving the hall.
Upon exiting the club’s premises, she walked east for some 10 minutes, until a horn blared. She glanced around and, despite wearing three-inch-high stilettos, jogged up to a car on the opposite side of the road.
Pulling open the door, she got in and, before Wu Hao could speak, she wrapped her arms around his neck and moved her lips up close to his.
“Ah Hao, it’s been a while since we last met.”
Wu Hao turned his head away slightly. Maintaining his composure, he said, “Stop fooling around and sit tight. I’m driving.”
“I don’t want to,” Jiang Qianqian replied seductively, before closing in on his lips more. This time, Wu Hao did not put her off.
Within moments, their kisses became wet and intense, faintly beginning to steam up the car windows.
…
After Wu Hao had left, Xu Wennuan had a long, animated chat with Qin Zhi’ai about her upcoming wedding with Wu Hao next month.
Lu Bancheng, seated next to her, had been staring at his phone when the word “game” sparked his interest. “What game?” he asked.
Xu Wennuan told him the name of the game, and Lu Bancheng felt as if he’d just met a soulmate. “You’re into that, too?”
“Do you play it, too?” Xu Wennuan looked up at Lu Bancheng with surprise.
He didn’t answer her and dove straight into more questions. “What region are you from, and what’s your avatar name?”
Qin Zhi’ai, sitting on the other side of Xu Wennuan, interrupted. “Area 47. The name is ‘BB Is Scared Pls Protect Me’.”
“I gave her that name,” Qin Zhi’ai added.
No one noticed Lu Bancheng’s fingers trembling slightly. In a casual tone, he then asked, “Have you joined a team?”
“Yup, the Queen’s Team. I’m the team leader,” Xu Wennuan answered as her fingers moved quickly across the screen while fighting a battle.
