After blowing out the candles and making a wish, Shiloh handed her a knife.

"Let's cut the cake first and have a birthday celebration. Don't make it seem like I gave you a gold ingot instead of a cake, or it puts a lot of pressure on me."

A cake could move Yan Qiao, which shows how much this child lacks love.

Yan Qiao smiled and handed them some cake.

"I'm still happy even if it's not a gold ingot, thank you."

They stopped drinking alcohol at the hot pot restaurant, so Xi Luo had some juice brought out to help cool them down from the spiciness.

"Let's have a toast, happy birthday to Yan Qiao!" Xi Luo raised his glass.

The others chimed in, "Happy birthday, Qiaoqiao!"

After finishing the hot pot, we were originally planning to go to karaoke.

Shiloh thought karaoke was boring and suggested taking them to a more interesting place.

Ruan Cha asked, "Is there any interesting place in Yancheng that I haven't been to yet?"

Have you been to St?

Ruan Cha's eyes lit up, "I went once, but my dad caught me and brought me back!"

St Bar is very famous in Yancheng, especially among wealthy people.

This bar is members-only; non-members are not allowed entry, and the average cost per person per night is several thousand dollars. VIP seats with good views are very difficult to book.

"I'll make a call and take you all with me!"

After securing a table, the four of them headed to St.

Ruan Cha asked, "You don't own this bar either, do you?"

They're quite good at investing.

Xi Luo said, "No, it was invested by my third uncle."

St spent an unknown amount of money on the initial decoration alone, and he was very poor.

Upon arriving at the bar, Shiloh tossed the keys to the waiter at the door.

"I booked a booth."

The best VIP seats have already been reserved.

St is a bar that combines a lively atmosphere with a quiet one. The lobby is downstairs, and there are private rooms upstairs. The soundproofing is excellent.

Shiloh loved the lobby; every cell in his body seemed to be subtly dancing with excitement.

A short while later, a man came over and whispered in his ear.

Shiloh put down the tablet and let them order first.

"This dust is a cocktail, not very strong, you can try it. My third uncle is upstairs, I'll go say hello."

Although Xi Luo was a reckless and unruly man, he both respected and feared his third uncle.

After all, he had no parents since childhood, and it was mostly Master Pei who disciplined him.

Ruan Cha looked at the stage and became interested.

Quietly, I want to go dancing.

Yan Qiao had just ordered the drinks when she said, "Go ahead, I'll just drink here."

Zang Mingqi then went with Ruan Cha.

The huge booth was now empty except for Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao is good-looking and famous online, so sitting here has attracted a lot of attention.

She had just tasted the "Dust" that Shiloh had recommended; it tasted more like fruit wine.

A short while later, a slightly tipsy man walked over.

Even from a distance, she could smell the alcohol on him.

"Isn't this Yan Qiao?"

Yan Qiao looked up and vaguely recognized him; he was one of Yan Yaohui's business partners.

"Uncle Lan?"

I've forgotten his exact name, but I remember Yan Yaohui calling him "Old Lan".

Old Lan patted his beer belly. He tried his best to act like a gentle elder in front of Yan Qiao, but he couldn't hide his sleazy nature.

Yan Qiao had heard a bad reputation about "Old Lan" from Chen Lan.

"Why are you here all alone? Do you want to come over there with your uncle? So you won't be lonely."

As he spoke, he reached out to put his hand on Yan Qiao's shoulder.

Yan Qiao took a step back to avoid his hand, feeling extremely uncomfortable with his lewd gaze.

"Thank you, Uncle Lan, but I'm with my friends, and they'll be back soon, so I won't go."

Old Lan smiled and said, "Okay, go over and say hello. When your friend comes back, I'll bring you over there."

Yan Qiao glanced in the direction he pointed and saw that most of the men were around his age.

Several scantily clad women were clinging to the wealthy patrons beside them.

She subtly looked away, saying, "No, Uncle Lan, have fun."

Seeing that she was being tactless, Lao Lan felt that if he didn't take her with him, he would lose face in front of his brothers.

"Aren't you giving Uncle Lan any face? Even if your dad were here, he wouldn't dare refuse me so many times. Yan Qiao, while Uncle still has patience, don't do anything bad."

His threatening words made Yan Qiao feel rebellious.

"Uncle Lan, to be honest, even if my dad asked me to come over today, I still wouldn't give him any face."

Yan Yaohui may indeed make his daughter accompany guests, but why should she obey this trashy father?

"This is a bar, not a brothel. We're both paying money, so why are you so shameless? I think you're all talk and no action, your brain is full of shit. I used to think you didn't think before you spoke, but now it seems you're just brainless."

Old Lan was enraged by her and immediately reached out to grab Yan Qiao.

"You bitch, even your father wouldn't dare talk to me like that..."

Before his hand could touch Yan Qiao, it was stopped by someone.

"Who are you calling a slut?" Xi Luo asked lazily.

Old Lan's hand was slowly pried back, and with a snap, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"You little brat, do you even know who I am? How dare you touch me!"

Shiloh scoffed and kicked him in the crotch.

"Why don't you take a look at who I am, and who owns this bar?"

Xi Luo has a short temper and is easily angered. He wanted to hit him a few more times, but the manager stopped him.

"Young Master Luo, if the police are alerted, I'm afraid this matter will have to be handled by Third Master."

Know when to stop.

Shiloh angrily let go, "Get that whole table of people out! I don't want St to see them again!"

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

The manager leaned down and whispered a few words in Old Lan's ear.

No one knows what he said, but Old Lan glared at Xi Luo fiercely and left without daring to speak out.

Yan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that things hadn't escalated.

If a real fight breaks out, it'll probably end badly.

"Okay, don't be angry."

Sylvia sat down sullenly. "Am I really that useless?"

Yan Qiao looked over, puzzled. "Why do you say that?"

"Even scum like this can only be driven away by using my third uncle's name."

Yan Qiao laughed, "In the entire Yancheng, there's only one Third Master Pei. Does that mean the others are useless?"

The reason why Master Pei is Master Pei is that he cannot lack the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

First, he must have the surname Pei; second, he must have enough ability to help Xunyue reach a higher level.

But there's only one Pei family member; how many people can be born into this family?

"You're fine too."

Xi Luo glanced at her. "What's so good about it?"

Yan Qiao thought about it for a moment, and realized that it was indeed a bit difficult to say.

"Good-looking."

Xilu crossed her legs, her tail practically pointing skyward.

"That's right, what else?"

Yan Qiao: "...That's enough, don't make things too difficult for me."

Xilu rolled her eyes at her.

A short while later, the manager left and then returned.

"Young Master Luo, Third Master invites you upstairs."

Yan Qiao waved her hand, "Go ahead."

She doesn't really like the atmosphere of the bar, so she probably won't be able to stay there for long.

Not long after Xi Luo went upstairs, his voice could be heard.

Yan Qiao vaguely heard him say, "I don't like others controlling my life at all. I only like Yan Qiao, and only her! I don't want to be forced into an arranged marriage according to your wishes. I will only marry the person I love!"

She scoffed; Shiloh was using her as a shield.
