Chapter 30 Send Miss Shen Back
"That seems to be the case, but I don't think Yiran likes her. He just thinks she's good at billiards and wants someone to play with."
"In his current state, when will he be able to find a girlfriend?"
"Instead of worrying about him, you should worry more about yourself. I used to think Yiran would be the last one to get married among the three of us, but look at him getting married without a word. Even though it's fake, two people have to be together for a year, and no one can predict what will happen after a year. Besides, Yiran chose that girl from among so many people, so she must be a little special in his heart."
"Yeah, let's wait until he gets divorced. Maybe one day his true love will appear."
"Yeah."
The two had been chatting animatedly just a moment ago, but Shi Mubai's "hmm" instantly ended the conversation. He truly was a conversation terminator. Chu Ci felt a bit depressed, but then his attention returned to Shi Mubai.
"By the way, you went on a business trip to Haicheng this time. It was for your family, right? How are you two doing? I asked you about it during dinner today, but you changed the subject. I just remembered it now."
"She and I are still the same. This time when I went to see him, she didn't even see me."
"It's not easy for you either. You said I was so fickle, and Lu Yiran has a cold personality and never looks for a girlfriend. How could there be such a loyal brother like you? You broke up three years ago, and you still can't forget her."
"I also want to know. Maybe it's because I'm unwilling to give up, so I'm obsessed with it."
When Shi Mubai said this, his eyes were full of loneliness, and he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. Since the two broke up, Shi Mubai often went on business trips to Haicheng, and each time he was away for about half a month, so Lu Yiran and Chu Ci rarely saw him. If Shi Mubai hadn't come back today, Lu Yiran might not have come out.
After that, the two stopped chatting and watched Lu Yiran and Shen Qi play billiards. Lu Yiran and Shen Qi were equally skilled, and the two played closely together. Lu Yiran particularly enjoyed playing with such equally matched opponents. He wasn't particularly interested in games where he was guaranteed to win; only games where there were wins and losses were exciting. The way Lu Yiran played now was completely different from when he played with Chu Ci. When he played with Chu Ci, it was like he was just relaxing and having fun, and he could win by just playing casually. But when he played with Shen Qi, he was very serious, as if he was negotiating a contract worth hundreds of millions.
Seeing Lu Yiran going crazy on the pool table, Shen Qi almost froze. Lu Yiran's serious look was really attractive. Even if she lost to him, she would accept it with all her heart.
The two of them were playing eight-ball, and in the end, Lu Yiran pocketed the eight ball, and Lu Yiran won. Although Shen Qi lost, she was happy for Lu Yiran's victory. She said to Lu Yiran, "Mr. Lu won again. I am no match for you."
Lu Yiran smiled knowingly and said:
"You're pretty good too. It's fun playing with you."
Lu Yiran looked even more handsome when he smiled. At this moment, he looked like a sunny and cheerful big boy, without any airs of a domineering president.
Shen Qi felt a little shy when he looked at her, and her face instantly turned red. Chu Ci was also shocked when he saw Lu Yiran smile:
"Oh my god, Yiran, we just won a game, and you're so happy! You actually smiled. I haven't seen you smile in a long time."
After hearing what Chu Ci said, Lu Yiran immediately put away his smile and turned into that poker face again.
"You're mistaken. When did I laugh?"
Lu Yiran simply chose to deny it. He didn't see it, so he didn't laugh. Why would he admit it if he didn't laugh? Chu Ci was speechless when he saw that he changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
"It still has to be you."
As he said that, Chu Ci gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Chu Ci was speechless at Lu Yiran's shamelessness. "Excuse me, am I praising you?" Shi Mubai and Shen Qi were amused by their conversation.
"Chu Ci, it's not the first day you've known Yi Ran. How could you not know how sinister he is? You insist on going up to him and asking for trouble. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
When Chu Ci saw that Shi Mu Bai not only did not speak up for him but also mocked him, he instantly lost his temper. There was nothing he could do but to join if he couldn't beat him.
After that they played for a while and didn't prepare to leave for dinner until around six o'clock.
"Miss Shen, you should be off work too, would you like to have dinner with us?"
Chu Ci invited her enthusiastically. He really liked Chen Qi, and since Lu Yiran didn't mind, he wanted to bring her and Lu Yiran together. Shi Mubai and Lu Yiran didn't say anything, obviously agreeing.
"Is it okay? Will it bother you?"
Chen Qi was very happy to be able to have dinner with Lu Yiran, but she didn't dare to go rashly because she was afraid of disturbing them.
"It's okay, we'll just have dinner upstairs."
"good."
Chen Qi agreed, and the four of them left the box together. When they left, there were still many people playing outside the billiard room. Many people were amazed by the combination of handsome men and beautiful women. Those who didn't know thought that they were celebrities who came here to play. There happened to be a paparazzi playing here, and he recognized those people and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a photo.
In the photo, Lu Yiran was talking to Shen Qi with his head down, seemingly chatting and laughing, while Chu Ci and Shi Mubai followed behind them. The paparazzi looked at the photo and was very satisfied. When he looked up at them, they had already left. The paparazzi wanted more photos, but this one was not very convincing, so he hurriedly followed them out. He only saw them get into the elevator and go upstairs. He walked quickly to the elevator and saw it stop on the second floor. The paparazzi breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that they would just leave like that, but the second floor was full of restaurants. If nothing unexpected happened, they must have gone to eat.
People like Lu Yiran and his group would definitely go to the private room to eat, and it would be impossible for them to eat in the hall, so the paparazzi decided to squat at the door of Supreme International, as they would definitely come out later.
"I never thought I'd run into Mr. Lu while I was out having some fun today. Now I don't have to worry about my bonus this month."
…
8 p.m.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yiran and the other three came out of Supreme International and prepared to go home.
"Yiran, Miss Shen has been with us for so long today, and it's so late now. It's not safe for a girl to go back alone. Please send her back."
Chu Ci really wanted to bring Lu Yiran and Shen Qi together all the time. Even when he was about to leave, he did not forget to create an opportunity for them to be alone.
Lu Yiran was originally planning to go home directly, but after hearing Chu Ci say this, he could not refuse since they were all friends after all, so he could only nod and agree.
