Chapter 46 What a weird atmosphere, I feel like a mistress.

After getting the jade pendant back, Meng Zhiyi was in a particularly good mood.

In the subsequent auctions, she did not cheat Shen Que as she had initially planned. Instead, when the bracelet was offered to her, she declined it, saying that she did not like it very much.

How could Shen Que not understand what she meant? After laughing in his heart, he still took a picture of the bracelet for her.

After the auction was over, Meng Zhiyi started complaining that she was hungry. Shen Que asked the staff to deliver the items auctioned that night back to the Shen family, and then took her away first.

The two came out of the hotel, and Jiang Yubai, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came to greet them.

"Shen Que, we haven't seen each other for many years. Let's have a drink together?" Although Jiang Yubai spoke to Shen Que, his eyes were on Meng Zhiyi.

Shen Que's eyes darkened slightly. He knew that even if he didn't agree today, Jiang Yubai would find various opportunities to get close to Meng Zhiyi.

The incident involving the Jiang family was inextricably linked to the Shen family. He was not sure how much Jiang Yubai knew and whether he would transfer his hatred to the people around him.

Although his relationship with Meng Zhiyi is not as it seems on the surface, he must also prevent her from becoming a victim in the feud between the Jiang and Shen families.

Thinking of this, Shen Que did not answer Jiang Yubai first, but lowered his head and said to Meng Zhiyi: "Sorry, I will take you home tonight and give you some takeout, okay?"

Meng Zhiyi originally planned to use Jiang Yubai, so naturally he would not miss such a good opportunity.

However, before she could say anything, Jiang Yubai teased, "You are so nervous about her. It's really different from what I heard. But don't worry, I won't do anything to her."

Meng Zhiyi stood obediently aside, but her heart was already filled with joy.

[Very good, Jiang Yubai is indeed a good assistant. With him, the mission progress will definitely increase rapidly.]

[Hehehe, I'm starting to get curious about what happened between Shen Que and Jiang Yubai? ]

[In the original book, Jiang Yubai clearly dislikes Song Wei, but he still insists on competing with Shen Que for her.]

[Let me think about it... Could this Jiang Yubai be a homosexual? Like Shen Que? ]

[You know what, dyeing her hair red and wearing colored contact lenses... it feels like that. ]

Thinking of this, Meng Zhiyi looked at Jiang Yubai with a more eager look in his eyes.

[How about I persuade him to have a sex change operation, and then I will come back to haunt him. Then I, the instigator, will be filled with hatred.]

"6." Shen Que was speechless, counting six in his heart.

However, Jiang Yubai felt uncomfortable because of Meng Zhiyi's gaze, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Brother Shen Que, I don't want to eat takeout." Meng Zhiyi shook Shen Que's hand and said in a hoarse voice.

This voice is completely different from the one that was used against Jiang Yubai just now.

Looking at Meng Zhiyi's pretentious appearance, he felt a chill all over his body and a little regretful that he had just stopped Shen Que's suggestion to send her back.

Although he was a little curious about why Shen Que kept such a woman by his side, his target this time when he returned to China was still the Shen family.

Shen Que was silent for a moment, and after noticing the eagerness in Meng Zhiyi's eyes, his thoughts suddenly changed.

Perhaps, letting Meng Zhiyi treat Jiang Yubai is a good idea.

"Okay then. I'll take you back after you eat."

After Shen Que agreed, he took Meng Zhiyi and Jiang Yubai to the restaurant they had been to last time.

The three of them entered the private room and sat down. The bodyguards from the Jiang and Shen families stood outside the door on either side, staring at each other closely.

After ordering the dishes, the box fell into deathly silence.

Meng Zhiyi sipped the Wangzai milk in her hand, her eyes rolling around.

Shen Que and Jiang Yubai were sitting on stools, looking down at their phones, neither of them showing any intention of speaking.

[What a weird atmosphere. I feel like a mistress.]

"?" Shen Que slowly raised his head and gave her a questioning look.

Meng Zhiyi grinned at him and said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Shen Que: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Meng Zhiyi waved his hand quickly: "No need, you haven't seen each other for a long time, you must have a lot to talk about, I can go by myself."

After saying that, Meng Zhiyi stood up and trotted out of the private room.

As the door of the private room slowly closed, Meng Zhiyi turned around and saw the bodyguard standing outside like a door god.

She pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, made a gesture to silence them, then ignored them, stuck her butt out and put her ear to the crack of the door to eavesdrop.

The bodyguards on both sides looked at her in silence, confusion written in their eyes.

In the private room, Meng Zhiyi's departure seemed to break the deadlock.

Shen Que tapped the tabletop nonchalantly with his fingers and spoke first: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Jiang Yubai raised his eyebrows, with a wanton smile on his face: "I want to have a drink with my good brother, is that the purpose?"

"Really?" Shen Que's expression was indifferent. He seemed gentle, but there was an alienation in his expression that could not be ignored.

The smile on Jiang Yubai's face froze, and a bit of struggle appeared in his eyes.

He lowered his head, stared at the wine glass in his hand in silence for a long time, then sneered.

"How did we get to this point?"

Back then, the Jiang and Shen families could be considered old friends.

Jiang Yubai was born a few months later than Shen Que. They knew each other since they were still in diapers.

The two were of the same age and their families were old friends, so they were very good friends before they were sixteen.

If that incident had not happened, Jiang Yubai would not have gone abroad, and Shen Que would not have been sent for secret training.

Now, the good friends who used to talk about everything meet again, but this is the situation.

Shen Que remained silent and did not answer Jiang Yubai's words.

In fact, they all know why.

Seeing that Shen Que didn't say anything, Jiang Yubai laughed at himself in his heart, and then became his nonchalant self again.

"Shen Que, with your personality, no one can force you to do anything. You really like Meng Zhiyi, don't you?"

Seeing that the topic had changed, Shen Que raised his eyes and warned: "Don't think about her."

"Tsk, I didn't say anything, why do you protect me?" Jiang Yubai shrugged, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Then, he said meaningfully: "Then you better watch it closely."

Hearing this, Shen Que's eyes turned a little colder.

The aura emanating from his body made Jiang Yubai feel a little breathless, but he still forced himself to look him in the face.

"I'll only warn you once."

Jiang Yubai clenched and unclenched his hands under the table, then clenched again.

"Oh, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Shen Que didn't say anything else, but he heard Meng Zhiyi's voice coming from outside the door.

[I can't hear clearly, what are they talking about, I really want to know.]

He glanced in the direction of the door, then stood up and walked over.

As soon as the door opened, the defenseless Meng Zhiyi fell inside.

Shen Que reached out and caught her, his dark eyes slightly lowered, covering her.

Meng Zhiyi blinked quickly, and with a quick thought, he raised his hand and hit Shen Que.

She scolded him, "Why did you open the door so suddenly? I almost fell down."

【Very good, preemptive strike. 】

Shen Queqi slightly loosened his grip on her waist and almost laughed out of anger.

"You were gone for so long, I thought you fell into the toilet."

Meng Zhiyi felt a little guilty. He turned around to look at the bodyguard behind him, then hurriedly pushed Shen Que inside.

"How dare you talk about your girlfriend like that? I'm mad. I'll punish you by giving me 500 bucks!"

When Jiang Yubai heard this, his face was filled with surprise.

Is this okay?

Is this woman a prostitute?

Shen Que knew very well that she was just making trouble out of guilt, but it was harmless and he didn't care.

"I'll pass it to you after dinner."

As he spoke, he led Meng Zhiyi back to his seat.

Jiang Yubai stared at Shen Que in astonishment: Has he been cursed? Why is he turning like this?
