Luo Chen sang as he walked, the stage lights following him. He left the stage and headed towards the second floor.

Fang Xue panicked when she saw Luo Chen walking towards her. She quickly took a few steps back, but Luo Chen was faster than her. Taking advantage of the increased pace, Luo Chen quickly walked up to Fang Xue and grabbed her hand.

"Luo Chen, you!"

Under the light, Fang Xue's embarrassment was clearly visible, especially since Luo Chen was holding her hand in front of so many people, which made her so ashamed that she immediately wanted to find a place to bury herself.

Luo Chen didn't answer her, but continued singing, the flippant and suggestive lyrics reaching her ears word by word.

With a wicked smile and suggestive words, Fang Xue blushed and struggled to break free from Luo Chen's grip.

As a result, instead of breaking free, she was pulled closer by Luo Chen, almost touching him. Feeling his presence so close, and smelling his faint, fresh scent, Fang Xue's mind went blank on the spot.

When she came to her senses, Luo Chen had already finished singing.

He was looking at her with a mocking expression.

"You, you, you..."

Fang Xue quickly distanced herself, taking several steps back. The rapid beating of her heart made it impossible for her to speak a complete sentence.

"Xue'er, happy birthday. This song is a gift for you. Isn't it... a pleasant surprise?"

"..."

Fang Xue pressed her chest, trying to calm herself down, but Luo Chen's words caused her emotions to surge violently again, filling her with shame and indignation.

Is this how you give a gift?

It's pure revenge!

Others at least receive birthday gifts and have their birthday songs sung on their birthdays.

That guy is something else!

If this song, which has caused so much misunderstanding and speculation, gets out, her reputation will be ruined.

Seeing Fang Xue's angry and furious expression, Luo Chen felt a sense of satisfaction.

[You tricked me just now, were you waiting to see me make a fool of myself? Didn't expect that, did you? I didn't embarrass myself; instead, I gave you a surprise.]

[Anyway, my current persona is that of a villainous simp. Everyone knows I like you, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with using this to flirt a little.]

[If you hadn't just tricked me, given how much I dislike you, I wouldn't have done that. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years; I'll seize the opportunity and get my revenge now!]

That bastard!

They're really vengeful.

Fang Xue glared at Luo Chen, her heart filled with mixed feelings—disdain and affection at the same time. She really didn't know how this guy managed to control both emotions simultaneously.

Another light appeared on the stage, and Xiao Hai stood there.

He said, "I don't know if you were satisfied with the song our singer just performed. If you were, please give him a round of applause!"

Clap clap clap!

After being used to serious songs, a non-serious one is truly refreshing.

Especially since he sings so well and has such a precise grasp of rhythm, how could they not be satisfied? Most importantly, he's also very handsome.

"Hey bro, I like you!"

"One more song! Let's keep cheering for you!"

"Young man, are you really not going to consider me, your aunt? I can save you twenty years of hard work, all you have to do is sing for me! Besides, I already have a government welfare program!"

"..."

Luo Chen picked up the microphone and explained, "I'm sorry everyone, I came here today to celebrate the birthday of the lady next to me, but some misunderstandings happened and I ended up singing on stage."

"I'm not actually a resident singer here; I'm just here to eat, like you guys."

What!

Many people were stunned when they heard Luo Chen say that.

The general manager behind the scenes blushed, a rare sight indeed.

There's nothing she can do; she bears some responsibility for this. It's understandable that Luo Chen would say that.

Luo Chen glanced at Fang Xue and continued, "So I regret to inform everyone that I will not be singing. Other resident singers will be on stage later, and I believe they will bring you even better songs."

"Of course, I also have to thank the restaurant's general manager here."

When the general manager heard Luo Chen talking about her, he became a little nervous, thinking that Luo Chen was going to blame her.

Luo Chen smiled and glanced at Fang Xue.

"Today is supposed to be the birthday of the lady next to me. I didn't know what birthday gift to prepare. The general manager gave me an opportunity to sing on stage. So, the second song I sang is for her."

"Happy birthday, Xue'er."

The light shone solely on Fang Xue, instantly making her feel restrained and uneasy, at a loss for what to do.

This guy is trying to steer the conversation back to her; he's really wicked.

What a complete bastard.

They said they hadn't prepared a birthday gift, but in reality, they hadn't prepared one at all.

Singing this song is just revenge against her, and she's making it sound so elegant.

no!

She couldn't stand this injustice!

She's going to tell this guy the truth!

Otherwise, I'd really be killed on the spot!

"I……"

"Haha, I'm sorry, she's a rather shy person and this is the first time she's experienced something like this, so please don't make things difficult for her. Here, I hope to receive your blessings and wish her a happy birthday."

Luo Chen, perhaps seeing through her thoughts, interrupted her abruptly.

[Alright, we've had enough fun, let's stop this nonsense. That's enough.]

[She's a girl, after all; she's not as thick-skinned as me. I should give her a way out to avoid making her feel awkward any longer.]

Fang Xue: "..."

I thought this guy had seen through my thoughts, but I never expected him to think this way.

Swallowing her words, Fang Xue rolled her eyes in silence, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction with the evening.

Everyone cooperated and wished Fang Xue a happy birthday!

Fang Xue responded shyly, and it took quite a while to end this farce.

Sitting back down in the chair, Fang Xue felt completely overwhelmed.

This is even more tiring than her job.

Her public image collapsed as a result.

Luo Chen didn't care at all. When the waiter brought the dishes, Luo Chen immediately ate with gusto, enjoying the food immensely.

Fang Xue's brows twitched as she watched Luo Chen eat.

She's the one celebrating her birthday today, so why didn't he ask her if she wanted anything to eat first? Instead, he started eating first.

Sensing Fang Xue's resentment, Luo Chen paused.

[What's this woman doing? She keeps staring at me, is she swooning?]

Fang Xue's face darkened even more.

At that moment, a chicken leg appeared in the empty bowl; Luo Chen had put it in with his hands.

Looking at the chicken leg that had been bitten off, Fang Xue felt like her inner volcano was about to erupt!

"Luo Chen!"

"Gentlemen, have I disturbed you?"

Before Fang Xue's little volcano could erupt, the general manager appeared with an apologetic smile.

With the general manager's appearance, Fang Xue could no longer lash out. She gave a heavy snort, glared at Luo Chen, and didn't continue.

Luo Chen looked at Fang Xue with a puzzled expression, then looked at the general manager.

"No, it shouldn't be. Is there something wrong? Are you going to drag me to sing again?"
