Upon hearing this long-unheard address, Ling Qingyue's expression changed, and she instantly turned around.
He then saw several friends from other teams, who were all winking at him.
Ling Qingyue relaxed her shoulders, somewhat helplessly: "Are you guys trying to scare me to death?"
The man who had just patted him on the shoulder smiled and put his arm around him: "What are you afraid of? This shop is run by our own people. Have you forgotten? We just called the owner and he said we're only serving our own people today."
"Come on, since we've run into each other, we should at least have a couple of drinks."
Ling Qingyue hadn't seen them for several months. Just as he was about to agree, he heard a voice behind him.
"Young Master, you cannot drink alcohol at the moment."
Jiang Tian has a very pleasant voice, making her stand out among a group of men.
All eyes turned to Jiang Tian.
Then they looked at each other, each with a different expression.
"When did you get a pretty girl by your side?" someone jokingly asked.
"Hello, I am Young Master Ling's personal secretary, currently responsible for his work and life."
Everyone's expressions changed again, and their gazes towards Ling Qingyue became more teasing.
Ling Qingyue understood the meaning in their eyes: As expected of the young master, he even has a secretary.
He felt a little awkward, but he didn't know how to handle the situation.
If he continues to be confrontational with Jiang Tian, then he can simply kick her out.
However, the relationship between the two has been unilaterally eased by him.
If you let her eat with them, those brats will definitely feel incredibly awkward.
As he was fretting, Jiang Tian spoke up: "Young Master, since you've met your friends, I won't disturb you any longer. Your surgery was recently completed, so you can't drink alcohol yet. Please take care of yourself."
Ling Qingyue was surprised that Jiang Tian gave him so much face, and his mood improved unconsciously.
"Yes, I know."
Jiang Tian nodded politely to the others, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Everyone said goodbye to her.
After Jiang Tian left, they escorted Ling Qingyue into the private room.
Having not seen each other for so long, they naturally missed their brother.
Ling Qingyue had just sat down when his phone rang. He opened it and saw that Jiang Tian had transferred 30,000 yuan to him.
"This is an advance on this month's entertainment expenses. If you want to treat someone, you can use this money first, and ask me for more if it's not enough. Also, please leave some money for a taxi back."
Ling Qingyue stared at the message for several seconds. He couldn't quite describe how he felt, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
He silently accepted the transfer and replied with three words: "Understood."
"What's making you so happy, K God? I never expected that you'd get a secretary right after retiring. Your secretary seems to have high emotional intelligence; she must be an elite."
"What does this have to do with you?" Ling Qingyue retorted immediately.
The others weren't annoyed: "Of course we're connected. Whenever we're down on our luck, we'll just go to your company and beg for a living."
Ling Qingyue rolled her eyes at them: "I don't even need you guys to sweep the floor."
After a while of cheering and joking, the conversation turned to serious matters.
Everyone knows how much Ling Qingyue cares about the e-sports circle. As they chatted, they got really into it, and by the time Ling Qingyue got back, it was almost midnight.
As soon as he entered the room, he ignored everything, sat down on the sofa, and told his group of brothers that he was safe.
Because of the surgery, he has become a rare animal in other people's eyes.
Knowing they meant well, Ling Qingyue didn't refuse. He sent a message in the group saying he was home, then tossed his phone aside and planned to go to the bathroom to wash his face.
Even though he said he wouldn't drink, he was still forced to drink a little.
However, everyone knew their limits and rarely drank alcohol. They only drank a little because they were so happy to see Ling Qingyue.
Ling Qingyue thought to himself, "Luckily Jiang Tian isn't here, otherwise I'd be nagged again."
However, when he opened the bathroom door, he saw Jiang Tian, who had just come out of the shower.
She was only wearing a bath towel, revealing her delicate collarbones, slender neck, and a pair of snow-white legs.
She was already very fair-skinned, and the large expanse of snow-white skin that was exposed was even more dazzling.
Jiang Tian's hair hadn't been dried yet; the water was flowing down and would soon disappear from sight.
At this moment, her unmasked face was even more captivating.
Ling Qingyue hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, so she wasn't very good at it anymore.
He used to be a professional gamer, and his diet was always strictly controlled in order to maintain his operational flexibility.
Alcohol is strictly prohibited, except in special circumstances.
Therefore, he is not a good drinker.
Ling Qingyue stared straight at Jiang Tian.
What's going on? He actually thinks Jiang Tian is kind of pretty.
Thinking he was hallucinating, Ling Qingyue was not frightened when she saw her; instead, she took a few steps forward.
"How old are you exactly? When I first met you, I thought you were forty, then you told me you were thirty, but today you look like you're twenty."
Ling Qingyue asked sincerely, and as he spoke, he reached out to touch Jiang Tian's face, wondering if she was wearing a mask, as she looked completely different today than yesterday.
I am thirty-two years old this year.
Jiang Tian stopped him, her voice cold.
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's voice, Ling Qingyue's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took a few steps back!
Jiang Tian frowned at him: "Young Master, I told you you can't drink alcohol, why didn't you listen?"
It appeared calm, yet a dangerous undercurrent was lurking beneath.
Ling Qingyue closed her eyes, then opened them again; the person in front of her had not disappeared.
After a brief silence of a few seconds, his eyes widened—
