Chapter 8 A Place of Trouble



After the three of them finished their meal, they went downstairs to the front desk to pay the bill and saw two people sitting at the entrance of the lobby that were not to be ignored.

Cheng Qicai had seen Lu Qi before and wasn't surprised at all, but the person opposite him surprised her. It was Gu Rongqi.

Well, the two people who were used to establish Gu Liji's persona in the private room have both arrived.

I wonder if Lu Qi let Gu Rongqi listen to their phone call.

They went over to say hello, and Cheng Qicai was somewhat excited, secretly scanning back and forth between the group of people.

Is the catastrophe she's been waiting for finally about to begin?

Gu Liji: "Brother."

Yun Suni: "President Gu, President Lu."

Cheng Qicai also shouted along with the female lead.

The three of them sat down, and Cheng Qicai felt that the scene was rather awkward. She leaned back and hid behind the scenes, quietly watching the drama unfold.

Lu Qi raised his head slightly, displaying the full aura of an empress when facing Gu Liji, but softened his demeanor and became gentle when facing the female lead.

He walked to Yun Suni's side, pushed Gu Liji aside, put his arm around her waist, and gently called out, "Suni."

In front of everyone, the female lead was still very considerate and did not reveal that the two were still in a cold war.

But Gu Liji, who had been pushed aside, didn't look so pleased. His smile didn't reach his eyes, and his words were barbed, "President Lu, what a coincidence! You didn't follow me here, did you?"

"It's not exactly a coincidence. Didn't I run into CEO Gu here with a beautiful woman just a few days ago?" Lu Qi said with a half-smile, adding, "CEO Gu, you're quite the ladies' man."

Gu Liji's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Yun Su Ni's expression and was about to explain, "I..."

Lu Qi deliberately interrupted Gu Liji's explanation and turned to Gu Rongqi, saying, "President Gu, it's getting late, Su Ni and I will head back now. Goodbye."

Gu Rongqi remained calm in the face of Gu Liji and Lu Qi's heated debate, just like Cheng Qicai, who seemed detached from the situation.

Whether it was Cheng Qicai's imagination or not, she felt that Gu Rongqi's gaze lingered on her for a moment.

Gu Rong nodded. "Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

Cheng Qicai looked at both sides, hesitating whether to stay here or go with Lu Qi.

On one side is the boss, and on the other is my cousin.

Before I could make a decision, Lu Qi shouted at me.

She didn't want to stay with her boss after get off work, especially since there were two of them.

She greeted Gu Rongqi and the others, saying, "Mr. Gu, then I'll be leaving with my sister and the others first."

After saying that, she quickly followed Lu Qi and the others, and consciously walked to the back row.

The male and female protagonists sat in the front row, remaining silent to each other.

Yun Su Ni spoke up at the right moment: "Qi Cai, where do you live? We'll take you back."

"Li Qingfengwan."

Yun Su Ni turned her head and asked in surprise, "Li Qingfengwan? You live here too?"

"Oh? You too, sis?" Cheng Qicai was also shocked this time. "Which unit are you in?"

Yun Suni: "Unit 5."

"I'm in Unit 7, we're quite close." Unit 5 and Unit 7 are separated by Unit 6, what a coincidence!

Logically speaking, her involvement in the original storyline was zero, but now she frequently appears around important characters.

However, since there was no system or rule that required her to follow the original plot, she didn't pay much attention to it.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential area, Cheng Qicai got out of the car to say goodbye and quickly slipped away.

She sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, but she couldn't say anything because she was there.

But who cares? That's the story of the male and female leads, it has nothing to do with her.

On Saturday night, she was curled up on the sofa eating pizza and watching TV when her phone suddenly rang.

Cheng Qicai was stunned when she saw the incoming call on her phone; it was actually the female lead.

She answered the phone with a puzzled look, "Hello, sis."

"Seven Colors, could you come pick me up at my Milu Bar?" Yun Suni's words were somewhat slurred, and her voice was tinged with drunkenness, clearly indicating that she had had quite a bit to drink.

She wondered why Yun Suni wasn't looking for Lu Qi, but for her instead.

Didn't they make up yesterday?

Cheng Qicai put on her coat, searched for the Milu Bar online, and found that it wasn't far away; it would only take about twenty minutes by taxi.

Based on the logic of the novel, she believed that for the protagonist, a bar was generally a place of trouble.

Just to be on the safe side, she still notified the male lead to come.

"Brother Lu."

Cheng Qicai greeted Lu Qi, who had driven up, at the bar entrance. After Lu Qi parked his car, the two went inside together.

This bar wasn't very noisy, but there were quite a few men and women inside. The colorful lights made it difficult to see people's faces clearly.

Fortunately, the female lead is beautiful enough and has a special temperament that makes her stand out in a crowd.

Cheng Qicai immediately spotted the female lead leaning back on the sofa at her two o'clock position. There seemed to be a man next to her, bent over, with his back to her, so her movements were unclear.

"Brother Lu, over here."

Cheng Qicai shouted at Lu Qi, who was still looking around, and quickly walked to the man's side, elbowing him aside.

She pulled Yun Suni up, letting her lie in her arms. She protected Yun Suni like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and shouted at the man, "Who are you?"

"I just saw she was here alone, so I came over to check on her," the man loudly protested.

Why are you reaching out to touch her when you're looking at her?

Cheng Qicai showed no fear, and Lu Qi, who was behind her, also came over.

Looking at Lu Qi, who was broad-shouldered, muscular, and a head taller than him, the man instantly lost his previous tough attitude and muttered under his breath, "Kindness wasted."
