☆, Chapter 39 makes you want to indulge
After the auction, Shu Wanning understood what the fun part she was talking about was.
The city is bustling with activity at night, with bright lights and a constant stream of cars and pedestrians on the streets.
The entrance of the Half-Awake Bar was crowded with people, and the sounds of music and cheers were heard one after another.
As soon as Shu Wanning entered the room, the huge noise in the venue made her ears hurt.
The diamond light balls above heads kept spinning, shining dazzling light on everyone, and the entire space was filled with vitality and enthusiasm.
Shu Wanning was pulled upstairs. On the stairs, she saw someone throwing colorful paper towels like rain.
The hand-thrown paper was flying in the air, and people in the venue reached out to catch it and cheered.
They twisted their bodies to the music, as if forgetting all their worries.
At the door of the private room on the third floor, she stood at the edge of the corridor, watching the men and women in scantily clad clothes dancing passionately on the stage.
Someone opened a bottle of champagne, shook it to the music, and sprayed the champagne onto the stage to cheer the dancers.
Some people even threw the money in their hands into the air, causing screams and cheers from the people around them.
Such a world of feasting and drinking was so unfamiliar to Shu Wanning; she had never been exposed to such a scene before.
Freedom and luxury.
Wen Yuci stood at the door of the private room at some point, a cigarette between his fingertips, his brows furrowed as he looked at her lonely back.
He walked behind her, put his arm around her shoulders, led her into the private room, sat her down on the sofa, and stuffed a glass of orange wine into her hand.
"Try it."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the side and sat down, flicked the ash into the ashtray, leaned back on the sofa with his eyes slightly narrowed, and raised his hand to pull at his tie.
Shu Wanning's eyes fell on the cigarette at his fingertips, but she didn't expect that he had another face.
The color of the wine in his hand looked nice. Shu Wanning watched the ice cubes in the glass slowly spinning. He took a sip and found it tasted good. He couldn't help but take a second sip.
Noticing her movements, Wen Yuci curled his lips. He had specially asked someone to mix that wine. It had an orange flavor and tasted like alcohol, but it actually had little alcohol content.
He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and took a sip of wine. The two people beside him leaned together and smoked a cigarette together as if to show off to him.
Cen You: "Sorry, I have this condition."
Qiu Yuerong pushed him aside, took two cigarettes from the cigarette box, moved to Shu Wanning, touched her with her arm, and signaled her with her eyes to go out together.
In the corridor, Qiu Yuerong handed her a cigarette, lit it herself, and handed her the lighter. She leaned over the handrail and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid."
Shu Wanning took the cigarette and thanked him. After lighting it, he also leaned on the railing and watched the swaying figures downstairs.
After a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "Now I understand why these people like to come to the bar so much."
Qiu Yuerong shook her head: "Don't learn from them. These people down there squander millions in one night. They're such a mess, none of them are good people."
Many rich young men gathered downstairs. They squandered their family's wealth without any scruples, reveling in music and dancing every night.
Shu Wanning hummed, "I'm fine, don't worry."
She curved her lips and said this to Qiu Yuerong, then felt someone's gaze behind her. She turned around and saw Wen Yuci leaning against the door looking at her.
He leaned sideways, the scarlet on his fingertips flickering, and his eyes behind the lenses looked straight at her.
The two looked at each other, with the cigarette still between her fingertips. Then she saw Wen Yuci raise his hand and put the cigarette to his lips, with the corners of his lips raised, and he raised an eyebrow at her.
His shirt collar was slightly open, his tie was loosely tied, and his expression was a little blurry in the smoke, giving people the impression of being a jerk.
Shu Wanning flicked the cigarette between her fingers. She originally thought that he didn't smoke, and she thought he probably thought so too.
The music downstairs suddenly changed to soothing and romantic.
It's like a pink ambiguous factor spreading in the bar, enveloping people and making people want to indulge in it.
Seeing that she looked much better, Wen Yuci turned around and went back to the private room, but someone came to disturb Shu Wanning's good mood.
Two drunk men came from the other side of the corridor, supporting each other and staggering. Qiu Yuerong wanted to pull Shu Wanning back to the private room, but the two men came straight towards them.
The strong smell of alcohol made people cover their mouths and noses. The two people looked at them with a smile on their faces and said, "Sister, why are you here alone?"
"Cen You!"
Seeing that they wanted to reach out, Qiu Yuerong called out "Cen You" and the two people in the room quickly stood up.
When she reached the door, she saw Shu Wanning kick the person approaching her to the ground.
Qiu Yuerong: "Wow."
Although Cen You was surprised, he did not forget his business. He quickly threw the other drunkard aside with his clothes in his hand and slapped his hands in disgust.
Hearing the noise, several bodyguards ran out from somewhere. Wen Yuci looked at Shu Wanning with a smile in his eyes and ordered: "Help them sober up before throwing them out."
He walked to Shu Wanning, lowered his head and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
He pulled them to the handrail to lean against it, and someone took a bucket full of ice and pressed the heads of the two drunkards down. The biting cold made the onlookers shiver.
Looking at the two struggling people, and then looking at Wen Yuci who always had a faint smile on his face, Shu Wanning suddenly felt that perhaps what she saw tonight was the real him.
I don’t know how much the two men drank. Even with ice, the smell of alcohol was still very strong.
Wen Yuci put away his smile, raised his hand to signal to stop, and ordered in a calm voice: "Throw it out, contact your family to settle the bill."
"clear!"
Cen You glanced at the two men for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke up, "I remember they were also drunk and harassed women last time. Tell them not to let them in from now on. It's embarrassing."
He looks like the kind of warm older brother next door, and exudes the maturity that is expected of a person of his age.
Although he always has a smile on his face, it is difficult to conceal his innate reserve and majesty.
Shu Wanning looked at him, and he was so angry because they wanted to touch Qiu Yuerong.
Now holding her in his arms, even though Qiu Yuerong was not afraid, he still coaxed her softly.
She heard from Aunt Jing that they grew up together and started dating before graduating from high school.
The Cen family felt that they were not a good match, but since Cen You had made up his mind, they didn't say much.
Their relationship has been stable for so many years, and no matter how many people wanted to become relatives in the Cen family, they were ruthlessly driven away by Cen You.
She withdrew her gaze and suppressed the envy in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw Wen Yuci editing a message with his head down, but the hand on his shoulder patted her twice.
It was like comfort, the movements were light, but... very gentle.
