Chapter 16

When Qin Lian brought Su Wenxing over, Xu Qu was talking to two girls. Both girls were very pretty, and one of them seemed to be a female celebrity.

Qin Lian doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so he didn't know the female celebrity. The person who recognized her was Su Wenxing.

Recently, Su Wenxing has been watching a TV series, and the second female lead is played by the actress next to Xu Que.

Xu Que keenly sensed Su Wenxing's gaze and turned to look at Su Wenxing and Qin Lian.

When Xu Que saw Su Wenxing coming with Qin Lian, he couldn't help but whistle softly.

Seeing this, the two girls next to Xu Que also looked towards Su Wenxing and Qin Lian.

Both Su Wenxing and Qin Lian are the type with outstanding appearances.

However, the two have different styles. Su Wenxing is like a delicate and pretty puppy, making people want to take good care of him and cherish him when they see him.

Qin Lian was the complete opposite of him; tall with long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, his appearance was even more aggressive. He was the kind of person you couldn't forget after just one glance, someone you wanted to get close to yet couldn't help but be afraid of.

As Qin Lian and his companion walked towards them, the female celebrity among the two girls stepped forward enthusiastically and extended a hand.

"President Qin, it's great to see you again. What a coincidence!"

The female celebrity had met Qin Lian before, and she was quite well-known herself, so she assumed that Qin Lian would definitely remember her.

As for why she called Qin Lian "President Qin," it was because she learned from Xu Que that Qin Lian was currently running a company with Xu Que.

Qin Lian didn't remember her, but out of respect for Xu Que, he still shook her hand perfunctorily.

His attitude was very perfunctory, so perfunctory that he withdrew his hand before the two of them had even actually shaken hands.

Qin Lian ignored the female celebrity and instead looked up at Xu Que beside him.

"Didn't you say you were going to see an exhibition? What are you doing standing here?"

Xu Que looked speechless upon hearing this. "I'm standing here because I came out to meet you, aren't I?"

"Oh, I got it. Let's go in."

Hearing Qin Lian's particularly arrogant "oh," Xu Que really wanted to punch him hard.

Later, when he saw Su Wenxing looking at him, he suppressed the urge to punch him so as not to frighten the soft little medicine pot.

"I was worried you were alone, so I even found you two women. It seems I was just being nosy; you even bring your childhood friends to an exhibition?"

Xu Que never considers others when he speaks. It's not that he's naive or innocent, but rather that he simply doesn't care about others.

Of course, Qin Lian cannot be included in this group of "others," as he has a pretty good relationship with Qin Lian.

Qin Lian didn't answer his question, but asked with a hint of surprise, "Where's your boyfriend?"

Qin Lian asked this question not because he was particularly concerned about his friend's love life.

Instead... he looked at the two girls walking closely beside Xu Chan and felt that Xu Chan's behavior was a bit of an eyesore.

Xu Can knew he was being sarcastic, and frowned slightly, a little annoyed, and said, "Today is a happy day, can you please not mention him to me?"

Qin Lian, completely unconcerned by his displeasure, continued to rub salt in the wound, saying, "You've only been dating for a few days? And you're already breaking up?"

Upon hearing the word "breakup," Xu Que suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Lian, her eyes appearing somewhat frightening.

Su Wenxing was frightened by his appearance and shrank back behind Qin Lian in fear.

Su Wenxing was in poor health and was always quite self-aware of it.

If he encounters danger, his first reaction is to find a place to hide.

Now that they're out and about, there's nowhere to hide. He figured that with Qin Lian being so tall, his back was the safest place.

Xu Qu wouldn't possibly fight Qin Lian. Firstly, he's no match for Qin Lian; a fight between the two of them would only result in him being at a disadvantage. Secondly, he and Qin Lian genuinely have a good relationship. Strangely enough, even though he's only known Qin Lian for three years, their relationship is much better than with his other friends.

Of course, besides the two reasons, there was also... he was quite wary of the Qin family behind Qin Lian.

Xu Que is only considered a prominent figure in L City. Once he moves to another place, the Xu family will have to rely on the Qin family for protection.

Xu Qu: "President Qin, could you please stop mentioning him to me? I was just playing around with him, and it's not a big deal that we broke up."

Qin Lian: "Then let's not talk about him."

Once inside the exhibition center, Qin Lian was led by Xu Que to meet many people.

These people are all businessmen from L City, and some of them seem to be important figures.

Su Wenxing didn't understand this, nor did he have that much energy.

He found a place to sit down, planning to eat something first, and then go over there to look at the cars.

This exhibition is an auto show, and there are not only many luxury cars, but also many beautiful car models.

Car models are not limited to female models; there are also many handsome male car models.

As Su Wenxing was eating and glancing around aimlessly, the two girls who had been with Xu Que earlier came to his side.

Xu Que knew that Su Wenxing was in poor health.

To reassure Qin Lian as he went to make connections, he asked the two girls to take care of Su Wenxing.

The two girls were both very pretty. They sat down next to Su Wenxing and started chatting with her.

When Xu Que called them over, he casually mentioned that Su Wenxing was Qin Lian's mistress and told them not to offend him and to take good care of him.

Thinking of Qin Lian's coldness, he doesn't seem like someone easy to get along with.

Xu Que had just been humiliated by Qin Lian, so they really couldn't imagine how someone as gentle as Su Wenxing could tame such a vicious wolf in private.

One of the girls asked, "You...are you really President Qin's little lover?"

Another girl, the female celebrity, also asked, "I didn't realize Mr. Qin was gay. I heard you two are childhood friends, you've been together since you were little?"

Su Wenxing was speechless upon hearing this. "I, I'm not in a relationship with him. Don't listen to Xu Que's nonsense."

That Xu Que is really something. The other party doesn't know what's going on. Every time they see him, he says he's Qin Lian's little lover.

Su Wenxing: "Qin Lian and I are childhood friends. Our parents have a good relationship, and Qin Lian is a year older than me, so he takes good care of me."

Female celebrity: "Then... is he my childhood sweetheart?"

Su Wenxing waved his hands anxiously and said, "No, he's just a regular best friend. The kind of guy who wouldn't even glance at me if I took off all my clothes."

The female celebrity seemed a little disappointed upon hearing this, saying, "I was thinking that if you could really handle such a vicious wolf, I would like to learn a lot from you."

As a celebrity, she has countless opportunities to meet men.

If one day she encounters a difficult man like Qin Lian, she might be able to learn something from Su Wenxing.

Hearing Su Wenxing's repeated explanations that he and Qin Lian really didn't have that kind of relationship, she was honestly quite disappointed.

They stopped talking about Qin Lian and started talking about the handsome men at the auto show.

Actually, Su Wenxing is more interested in pretty girls than handsome guys.

However, considering that there were three of them, two of whom were girls, he could only chat with them about handsome guys in order to appear as a sociable person.

"That handsome guy is good-looking, with delicate features, but it's a pity he's a bit too thin."

Su Wenxing nodded upon hearing this, "In terms of physique, Qin Lian's physique is better."

Upon hearing his words, the two girls looked at him with curiosity.

Girl: "How good is it?"

Female celebrity: "Yeah, how good is it? Do you have any photos?"

Su Wenxing did indeed have photos, but there was something he couldn't easily show them.

After all, the photo was of Qin Lian, and Qin Lian was shirtless; he still had to ask Qin Lian himself.

But when he saw two new friends, he came over with a curious look on his face.

They... seem to be friends now, and he quite likes them.

Su Wenxing hesitated for a long time before sneakily taking out his phone and showing it to the two girls.

The two girls chuckled after reading it.

"I didn't expect President Qin to be so knowledgeable in private."

"Yeah, he looks so cold, I thought he was the ascetic type."

Su Wenxing: "He, he is indeed rather ascetic."

He climbed all over Qin Lian, but Qin Lian remained completely unfazed.

"But his skin doesn't look like he's abstinent at all."

"Yeah, yeah, it looks... really sexy, really alluring."

Su Wenxing didn't know why, but her ears suddenly felt a little hot.

He whispered, "I, I also think his skin is very erotic, very alluring."

Before Su Wenxing could happily continue chatting with them, Xu Que and Qin Lian returned.

Su Wenxing felt inexplicably guilty as soon as he saw Qin Lian. He quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket while nervously lowering his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Qin Lian assumed he was just tired.

Qin Lian walked over to him and asked gently, "Are you tired?"

Su Wenxing quickly shook his head; he thought this place was quite fun. Not only were there nice cars, but also nice people, and he could meet interesting friends.

"Want to go look at the cars? This auto show is organized by the Xu family, you can try out any of the cars there."

Upon hearing that he could test drive the car, Su Wenxing immediately perked up.

"Is it okay? I thought they could only look from the outside, and I thought they couldn't get on the bus to try it out."

Upon hearing this, Xu Que said to him, "These cars all belong to my old man. He's getting old now, so he doesn't drive cars much anymore. Therefore, these cars are mine."

Upon hearing that the car belonged to Xu Qie, Su Wenxing stopped being polite.

After that, Su Wenxing dragged Qin Lian around and wandered around. Because the air conditioning in the exhibition hall was a bit low, Su Wenxing started sneezing after walking around for a short while.

Qin Lian frowned upon seeing this, and while taking off his coat to put it on Su Wenxing, he suggested, "It's too cold here, let's not go shopping anymore."

Su Wenxing was a little unhappy when she heard this, "But I still want to play."

Qin Lian: "Then... how about we go somewhere else to play?"

Where should we go?

"Let's go to a club. You've never been to a club before, so you'll probably find it quite novel."

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing that Su Wenxing had agreed, Qin Lian pulled Su Wenxing to find Xu Qu.

Xu Que was the one who wanted to go to the club. Xu Que asked him if he wanted to go with him, but Qin Lian refused without even thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, Qin Lian changed his mind because of Su Wenxing.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Xu Qun heard Qin Lian say that he was going to take Su Wenxing to the club with him, and couldn't help but secretly mutter a curse about Qin Lian in his heart.

"They treat people like treasures and spoil them, yet he still says he didn't mess with his childhood friend."

What a bastard!
