As he emerged from the bar, Lu Shaohan's expression was serious and his face grave.

Qin Wan staggered along behind him, leaning against the wall...

"You, you need to slow down!"

Qin Wan chased after him while quietly demanding to file a complaint.

Lu Shaohan paused, turned around, and frowned at her. "Don't you have any sense of self-preservation?"

Qin Wan's legs went weak, and Lu Shaohan's eyes narrowed. He took a step forward and almost instinctively came over to help her.

Fortunately, Qin Wan reacted quickly, leaning against the wall to steady her swaying body. After taking a few heavy breaths, she looked at Lu Shaohan with a smile.

"It was there originally..."

"But because you made me feel so safe, that's why..."

"..." Lu Shaohan frowned, his gaze fixed on Qin Wan, seemingly not understanding the deeper meaning behind her words.

"Do I make you feel safe?"

"Mmm." Qin Wan nodded repeatedly, a sweet smile on her delicate face.

"..." Lu Shaohan pursed his thin lips slightly, as if there was a hint of displeasure.

"Tonight, the two of us sat together drinking for four or five hours straight."

Qin Wan leaned against the wall, counting on her fingers with a serious expression, "I'm such a beautiful woman sitting next to you, but the way you look at me is so clear, clean and pure."

"Not only that, you look at those empty wine bottles on the table more often than you look at me..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan couldn't help but tremble slightly on her shoulders and cover her mouth to laugh out loud.

Lu Shaohan: "..."

"Even an empty bottle is more attractive than me, so don't you think I'm particularly safe?"

Lu Shaohan: "..."

"Besides, you always have this complicated look in your eyes when you look at me, and you always stare at my stomach..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Lu Shaohan: "..."

"So you are really, really safe, and I really, really trust you completely."

As she spoke, Qin Wan grinned at him with a bright smile. Her innocent and pure appearance made Lu Shaohan's gaze linger on her face for a second.

There's no denying that Qin Wan is truly beautiful.

She's at least prettier than Yin Jiajia, whom Lu Shaojin cherishes like a treasure.

She was radiant and bright, like the rising sun, with a sweet and refreshing smile that melted hearts, just like the warm sunshine of early spring.

It's warm and comforting, dispelling the chill left over from winter.

[Lu Shaohan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 27.]

She is truly beautiful.

Unfortunately... the beauty was blind.

Thinking of this, a very faint trace of regret flashed across Lu Shaohan's eyes.

"Get in the car."

The black Mercedes stopped beside Lu Shaohan. He reached out and opened the car door, looking expressionlessly at Qin Wan, who was smiling broadly.

However, Qin Wan remained leaning against the wall, showing no intention of getting into the car.

“…It’s very late.” A hint of helplessness appeared in Lu Shaohan’s eyes.

Qin Wan glared at him accusingly, "I didn't mean I didn't want to get in the car."

Lu Shaohan frowned and stared at her, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

The next second, Qin Wan stretched out her hands towards him...

Just as Lu Shaohan frowned, preparing to reprimand her, Qin Wan's hands suddenly fell limply to her sides...

"Look, I'm really drunk."

"I'm out of strength..."

"I feel completely weak."

As she spoke, Qin Wan leaned against the wall, looking as if she was about to collapse.

Lu Shaohan: "..."

"So, I really didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I really can't walk any further."

...

A minute later, Lu Shaohan held Qin Wan's arm with one hand, letting her slender and frail body sway and stagger as she walked.

“Lu, Lu Shaohan…”

"You, you should be gentle..."

"A rude man will never have a girlfriend."

Qin Wan angrily slapped the man's strong arm, muttering accusations in a huff.

"Gentle men are often scumbags." With that, Lu Shaohan pushed Qin Wan into the car.

Qin Wan's weak body slumped limply into her seat...

"Lu Shaohan, you are so ungentlemanly."

"Many gentlemen are scumbags."

Qin Wan: "..."

"Lu Shaohan, no wonder you're single."

"It's about maintaining a clean and virtuous lifestyle, thank you."

Qin Wan: "..."

"Lu Shaohan, are you feeling particularly heartbroken right now?"

Qin Wan rolled over, swaying as she held onto the car window to steady herself, and stared at the man in the passenger seat with her big eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shaohan glanced at her indifferently and said, "It does hurt my heart."

"It's heartbreaking that you've wasted so much good wine."

Qin Wan: "..."

"Lu Shaohan, you really are a straight man of steel."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qin Wan: "..." So angry!!!

...

After a brief silence, Qin Wan suddenly leaned closer, resting her head on the back of the driver's seat, and blinked her big, bright eyes at Lu Shaohan.

Why didn't you swipe my card just now?

Lu Shaohan glanced at her indifferently and said expressionlessly, "I'm not short of money."

“But you’re worried about the money,” Qin Wan retorted.

"I'm upset that you're spending money on me out of spite, and that you're wasting good wine," Lu Shaohan explained.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan curled her lips indifferently, lightly tapping her alluring red lips with her fingertips, and muttered softly.

"It's better for a beauty like me to drink it than for some scumbag to drink it."

"Besides, wine is produced for people to drink, so it doesn't matter whether I drink it or others drink it."

"Do you think everyone is like you, carefully savoring fine wine? Savoring the lingering, delightful aroma as it unfolds in your mouth?"

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Lu Shaohan paused almost imperceptibly.

He looked at Qin Wan with surprise...

He barely touched the alcohol tonight.

Only later, when Qin Wan got drunk and ordered all the good wines in the bar, did he finally sip a few of the rare vintage wines.

Just a taste...

Qin Wan was clearly drowning her sorrows in alcohol, downing one glass after another.

He sipped his drink slowly, savoring it.

He had always assumed she was too drunk to notice him, but to his surprise, she noticed his different attitude towards alcohol.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan stared intently at Qin Wan in front of him, a scrutinizing look appearing in his eyes.

She seemed to be far more intelligent than he had imagined or understood.

Why would a girl like that be deceived by Lu Shaojin?

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression, which contained admiration, inquiry, and a hint of doubt and confusion.

[Lu Shaohan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 29.]

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Shaohan gave up on dwelling on the question and looked directly at Qin Wan.

"I'm curious, why did you take a liking to Lu Shaojin?"

"As you said, money can't buy you anything."

"In my opinion, the so-called romantic deeds that Lu Shaojin did could have been done by the other rich young men in the capital who were pursuing you."

"So, what is so special about Lu Shaojin that made you notice him in a crowd?"

For some reason, Qin Wan's brow twitched when she heard Lu Shaohan's last question.

She always felt that the last question was full of deeper meaning...

Is she implying that she's blind?

Surrounded by men, yet ignoring a bunch of good men and immediately falling for a hypocritical scumbag?
