We finished eating.

He Bo and Dong Qiang left the private room without waiting.

The others also left the private room in twos and threes.

Zhuang Wen got up and left the private room, taking the elevator to Lu Ruxue's room.

Thump! Thump!

He knocked on the door.

A moment later, Lu Ruxue's clear, cold voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

"Mr. Lu, it's me."

Zhuang Wen smiled.

Then, there was silence in the room.

"Forehead."

Helpless, Zhuang Wen knocked on the door again and said, "President Lu, I have something to report to you. Please open the door."

"I'm tired. You can report back tomorrow."

Lu Ruxue's voice rang out at just the right moment.

Zhuang Wen could tell that Lu Ruxue was probably behind the door, which was why her voice sounded muffled.

"The matter is urgent, and I must report it tonight."

Zhuang Wendao.

"Well... alright, you can stand outside the door and report, I'll listen."

Lu Ruxue thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, this is a rather confidential matter and cannot be heard by outsiders. I need to report it to you privately."

Zhuang Wen continued.

"Then look outside the door. Is there anyone else besides you? If there's no one, then speak."

Lu Ruxue blinked her clear eyes, her voice cool and slightly mischievous as she spoke.

Zhuang Wen's lips twitched slightly. Did he have something to report to Lu Ruxue? Nothing!

So he sighed and said, "Never mind then. Mr. Lu didn't eat much tonight. I'll go out and buy some and bring it to you."

He waited for a while, but no more sounds came from inside the room.

He shook his head and walked away, somewhat disappointed.

Originally, he thought he could use these touching words to make Lu Ruxue obediently open the door, but who knew that Lu Ruxue was smart and didn't fall for it!

Inside the cat's eye, a pair of clear eyes blinked incessantly with a smile, watching Zhuang Wen's back as he boarded the elevator and left.

"Trying to fool me into opening the door? Don't even think about it!"

...

Zhuang Wen strolled down the street.

Feeling the gentle, cool breeze, the surging blood and qi in my body calmed down.

He frowned slightly, pondering Lu Ruxue's attitude towards him.

Since the two clearly had no feelings for each other, why did Lu Ruxue tolerate his many excessive behaviors?

Oh no, it's not necessarily tolerance.

Perhaps it's... enjoyment?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Wen frowned, a deep sense of doubt lingering in his mind.

He admitted that his feelings for Lu Ruxue were partly because the two had already registered their marriage, but mostly because Lu Ruxue was beautiful!

This does not mean that he has deep feelings for Lu Ruxue.

That's the truth!

But I know whether I'm handsome or not, whether I have money or not. What right do I have to let Lu Ruxue treat me like this?

To put it bluntly, I don't deserve even a little bit of affection from Lu Ruxue!

So why does Lu Ruxue look at me now like a young girl in love?

It's worth noting that her transformation was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Q: How long does it take to transform from a cold and aloof female CEO into a well-behaved young girl?

A: We can conclude from Lu Ruxue's experience that it doesn't take a day!

It's unbelievable even when you say it.

"Could it be that I possess something that attracts Lu Ruxue?"

Zhuang Wen stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

After much thought, the only thing that could catch the eye of the wealthy Lu Ruxue was his system.

It can't be because of me, an ordinary person.

But soon, he began to doubt himself.

The system is a very mysterious thing; probably no one knows about it.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut.

Zhuang Wen became increasingly agitated as he thought about it. Just then, he looked up and realized he had walked to the entrance of a bar.

The deafening, deep sound penetrated the eardrums, full of power.

Zhuang Wen didn't like going to bars, but at the moment he was feeling a bit restless and also wanted to see what the differences were between the bars in Jianing City and those in Qingjiang City.

So he stepped into the bar.

Once inside, he realized how naive he had been.

At this moment, only one sentence could summarize his feelings:

"All crows are black, and all bars are noisy."

The flickering light, the deafening music, the men and women dancing wildly on the dance floor, and the unusually high temperature that made you want to take off your coat...

Zhuang Wen wasn't going to be swayed by the environment. He went to the bar and ordered a cocktail.

Wow, that feels so good!

One bite and Zhuang Wen felt like every pore on his body was opening up.

He has a moderate alcohol tolerance, but he's fine with a little alcohol occasionally.

He sipped his cocktail while surveying his surroundings.

At that moment, he noticed a female office worker in a business suit not far away.

She didn't look very old. She wore a gray coat, a white shirt, a black straight skirt that reached her knees, flesh-colored stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of high heels. She looked every bit the beautiful young office worker.

But at this moment, two blushes appeared on her beautiful face due to the rising effect of alcohol, and her clear, beautiful eyes appeared hazy with intoxication.

Not only Zhuang Wen saw it, but other men who came to the bar to pick up women also saw it.

Sure enough, two or three men walked over, each holding a wine glass, chatting and laughing with the young white-collar worker, and kept pouring her drinks.

Although the young white-collar worker had refused them many times, they could not give up so easily, seeing that the young white-collar worker could not hold her liquor.

Zhuang Wen glanced at it and then looked away, his eyes remaining calm.

Many people are probably familiar with what bars are like.

Since you already know about bars, if you still want to come and have fun, you can only say that you are doing it willingly, and you should have been mentally prepared.
