Qin Xiu was so engrossed in the beautiful singing that he didn't realize he was disturbing others' enjoyment.
When the door was suddenly pushed open, everyone's eyes turned to the entrance. Qin Xiu, who was standing at the front, was so frightened when he saw the faces of the man and woman standing in front of the screen with their hands on each other's shoulders that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Instinctively, she wanted to block her master's view from behind.
Even with height-increasing insoles, he was only 1.78 meters tall, while his grandfather, measured barefoot, was nearly 1.9 meters tall—a huge difference.
His attempt to block his master's view was utterly delusional.
Sure enough, the next moment, a low growl rang in his ear, "Zhu Qianying, do you want to die?!"
Everyone inside was terrified by the low growl.
But none of them could see who was shouting, since Qin Xiu had covered most of Yan Shao's face.
The four young masters inside, all of whom were the eldest brothers of Zhu Qianying who loved to cause trouble for her, rushed to Zhu Qianying and Xing Bailun's side in a flash, ready to fight at any moment.
Only Zhu Qianying recognized that the low growl came from the bastard Yan Shao who had abandoned her on the main road last night!
Ugh, what bad luck!
How long has it been since she last went out to have fun? She actually got caught red-handed by that pervert Yan Shao as soon as she stepped out of the cave.
Although singing karaoke together isn't a big deal, why did he have to happen to be singing this song with Xing Bolun right at the same time?
Zhu Qianying couldn't possibly be unaware of how suspicious and possessive Yan Shao was, based on their several interactions.
Therefore, at this moment, she could only secretly pray for good luck and not to implicate her close friends.
Zhu Qianying took a deep breath, removed her hand from Xing Bailun's shoulder, and at the same time, subtly pried Xing Bailun's hand off her shoulder.
Still confused, Xing Bailun glanced at Zhu Qianying, seemingly hoping for an explanation from her.
However, before the two could exchange a word, Young Master Yan outside the door pushed Qin Xiu aside and strode over.
It's not surprising that the poor people in L City don't know Young Master Yan, but the possibility of the sons of the richest families on the list of the top ten richest people not knowing Young Master Yan is zero.
"Young Master Yan?"
The four of them exclaimed in unison, and Xing Bailun, who vaguely understood what had happened, instinctively grabbed Zhu Qianying's wrist and tried to pull her behind him.
Zhu Qianying didn't want to implicate him. She originally wanted to go up and face Young Master Yan, but now she had no choice but to try to shake off his hand while forcing a smile at Young Master Yan.
"Young Master Yan, what a coincidence! You're here to sing karaoke too!"
Several people present thought that Zhu Qianying was clueless. Didn't she know that Tongyao was a business owned by the Tong family, which was also Yan Shao's business?
Only Yan Shao and Xing Bailun knew that Zhu Qianying was pretending to be stupid, trying to make conversation to ease the atmosphere.
However, if Xing Bailun hadn't made any attempt to protect Zhu Qianying, and if Zhu Qianying had shown a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Yan Shao might have been able to swallow his anger. After all, the arm-in-arm gesture just now, although ambiguous, could also be explained as a friendly gesture between two brothers when they were having fun.
But the gesture of grabbing his arm and trying to hide behind his back is clearly not something that happens when you're having fun; rather, it's a genuine expression of a man's protective instincts towards the woman he likes.
This is no longer just a problem with Zhu Qianying, but a problem with Xing Bailun!
"Get over here!"
Yan Shao stopped a few steps away from the group and coldly shouted at Zhu Qianying.
Thinking that the two of them might be in a relationship where both parties are interested in each other, Young Master Yan wished he could wave his hand and order his men to drag them out and give them a good beating!
Zhu Qianying was very dissatisfied with Yan Shao's terrible attitude, but she knew very well that her problem was not self-preservation, but rather protecting Xing Bailun and the other three.
Always pragmatic and self-aware, she finally managed to pry Xing Bailun's hand off, lifted her foot, and was about to walk towards Yan Shao.
Xing Bailun didn't dare to grab her hand this time, because he knew her temperament. If he really confronted her and crossed her bottom line, she might never speak to him again.
"Shadow! Come back, don't be afraid, we're here!" Xing Bailun didn't reach out, but tried to call out to Zhu Qianying with his voice.
The other three looked at each other, not understanding why Young Master Yan would suddenly harbor such hatred towards Zhu Qianying.
In particular, Yan Shao now looks like a raging fire, and anyone who walks past him will be burned or even burned to death by his flames.
Yan Shao didn't even glance at Xing Bailun; he just stared intently at Zhu Qianying.
"Come here!" He commanded Zhu Qianying once again, his tone still icy cold, but this time he omitted the word "get lost."
Perhaps sensing Zhu Qianying's compromise, he subconsciously made his words more tactful.
"Sir, I forgot to mention earlier that we were so full today that this was the last VIP room left. Young Master Xing and the others have come to support us, so I'll let them sit here!"
Completely bewildered, the manager, sweating profusely, squeezed over to explain to Yan Shao.
Yan Shao completely ignored him. Qin Xiu secretly wiped his sweat, grabbed the manager and pulled him out of the corridor, whispering to him, "Alright, stop causing trouble. This is none of your business. Go and do your own thing!"
Ultimately, this is all the manager's fault.
If he had made things clear earlier and stopped Young Master Yan, this chaotic battle would never have happened.
Now, how are we going to end this?
Qin Xiu didn't know if Young Master Yan was jealous, but he did know that the chair Young Master Yan sat in was always reserved for him, and no one else was allowed to sit there!
A person who has such a strong possessive desire even for an inanimate object would be furious if he saw his future wife with her arm around a handsome man and then heard her singing "Today I'm Going to Marry You" to someone else!
Based on Qin Xiu's understanding of Young Master Yan, Young Master Yan probably felt like blowing up this VIP room right now.
Of course, Zhu Qianying also guessed about the possibilities that Qin Xiu could deduce.
She steeled herself and walked towards Yan Shao.
"Young Master Yan!"
Young Master Yan looked at her coldly, "Speak!"
Zhu Qianying understood what he meant, and in her heart, she wanted to punch him, but in reality, she couldn't let her close friends pay the price for her impulsiveness.
In particular, Xing Bailun.
"Young Master Yan, let me introduce you. These are my childhood friends."
Zhu Qianying stood calmly next to Yan Shao as if nothing had happened, pointing at Xing Bailun and the other three people.
Yan Shao's sharp gaze lingered on her face for a second before sweeping across the four young masters.
