Ruan Jizhou was very satisfied with the lot Qi Mingli drew. He patted Qi Mingli's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Next time, I'll introduce you to a few artists whose contracts are expiring and get them signed with Qi's Entertainment."
Upon hearing that such a good thing had fallen into his lap, Qi Mingli blew on his palm and said, "With this kind of luck, I deserve to make money."
Lu Zhiwei stood up confidently; she was wearing high heels and a short skirt today.
He took off his cardigan, bent down, wrapped it around her waist, and tied a knot. His cardigan was large enough to cover Lu Zhiwei's thighs and prevent any accidental exposure.
His meticulousness, thoughtfulness, and gentlemanly manners are ingrained in his very being.
"Tsk tsk, all the gentlemen here should take note, especially those who have run away with their girlfriends and wives," Qi Mingli teased, stroking his chin.
Shen Jiarui and Shen Jinmo, whose names were called out, glared at him resentfully with sullen faces.
"Is it okay?" Ruan Jizhou asked her gently before picking her up.
Lu Zhiwei nodded.
He bent down, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and easily lifted her up.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Lu Zhiwei instinctively cling to his neck. Ruan Jizhou could smell her faint fragrance, and her eyes were clear as water, captivating his soul. He was reluctant to put her down.
As Shen Jinmo gazed at the scene, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed, a sharp, throbbing pain shooting through him.
"Are you still playing or not?" Shen Jinmo roared, his face dark, his eyes blazing with anger, his attitude extremely impatient.
Ruan Jizhou then gently put Lu Zhiwei down.
The game continued, and this time it was Ruan Jizhou's turn to draw. After he drew the card, he picked it up and glanced at it. His expression was serious, and he looked very uneasy.
Seeing his expression, everyone thought the sky was about to fall, and they all crowded around to look at the contents of his card.
[Number 3 and Number 1 kiss.]
In other words, Ruan Jizhou is going to kiss Lu Zhiwei.
The atmosphere in the private room was instantly ignited, becoming incredibly lively.
Qi Mingli patted him on the shoulder: "You're such a good actor, you can really put on an act. You got a good deal and you're still playing the victim. What are you so worried about? You should be secretly happy."
Shen Jinmo gripped the armrests of the wheelchair so tightly that he wished he could crush them with his fingers.
His cold, sharp eyes were fixed on Lu Zhiwei's expression.
She didn't seem to resist; on the contrary, she seemed to be looking forward to it.
Sure enough, the next second, Lu Zhiwei stood up: "It is my honor to be able to kiss Actor Ruan."
Ruan Jizhou stood up somewhat awkwardly, looking at Lu Zhiwei uncertainly.
Kissing should be a natural occurrence when feelings are mutual and hormones are at play.
He was afraid that this game would disrupt his established rhythm.
"Go on, stop pretending." Qi Mingli gave him a push.
His tall figure stood before Lu Zhiwei, casting a light shadow.
Lu Zhiwei's red lips glistened as she slightly raised her head, waiting for Ruan Jizhou's kiss to fall.
Shen Jiarui glanced at Shen Jinmo, wanting to see how his older brother would react.
Anyone with eyes can see that he isn't completely without feelings for his sister-in-law. Does his repeated insistence on marrying Xia Wanying truly stem from love? Who knows?
You'll have to ask him that.
Ruan Jizhou reached out and supported Lu Zhiwei's lower back, lowering his body and slowly approaching.
Their breaths exchanged, a faint fragrance wafted through the air, mingled with a hint of alcohol—hot and intoxicating.
The two were about to kiss.
Shen Jinmo suddenly spoke, his tone icy cold.
"I'll switch with you."
The number one card in Lu Zhiwei's hand was taken away by Shen Jinmo.
That's right, he didn't take the one from Ruan Jizhou's hand, but the one from Lu Zhiwei's hand.
This means that he gave up the opportunity to kiss Lu Zhiwei and instead chose the opportunity to kiss Ruan Jizhou.
"Holy crap, bro, how much did you drink tonight? Are you alright?" Shen Jiarui stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
My brother hadn't even drunk much that night, so why did he start acting so incoherently?
Qi Mingli swallowed hard, unable to calm himself for a long time: "I didn't know you had such a hobby? When did you start thinking about it?"
Shen Shuyuan lowered her eyes, clutching the card in her hand.
She had tampered with all the cards in the game box, deliberately arranged all the game challenges, and assigned the numbers according to her own requirements.
But tonight, everything is slipping out of her control, turning bizarre, terrifying, and absurd.
"Are you coming or not? If you're coming, hurry up," Shen Jinmo urged.
Ruan Jizhou is a professional actor who can accept any role, but he just can't accept kissing Shen Jinmo, a man.
“I’ll drink.” Ruan Jizhou picked up a glass of wine from the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
This not only resolved the awkward situation but also preserved his innocence.
Shen Jinmo had anticipated that Ruan Jizhou would choose to drink, which is why he blatantly snatched the number plate from Lu Zhiwei's hand.
Having succeeded, Shen Jinmo threw the card into the trash can: "I'm tired, let's call it a day."
He was no longer in the mood to continue playing such a boring game with this group of people.
Lu Zhiwei stood still.
Shen Jinmo maneuvered his electric wheelchair past her, his voice cold and low: "Didn't you catch a cold? Aren't you leaving?"
Lu Zhiwei didn't say anything and ignored him.
The handbag on the sofa suddenly rang.
She walked straight over, unzipped her bag, and took out her phone.
The caller ID showed Liu Changqing from the police station.
Upon seeing the call, Lu Zhiwei frowned slightly, picked up her bag and phone, and walked out, saying, "You guys have fun, I'm going back first."
After saying a brief goodbye to everyone, she went outside to greet them.
