Chapter 8 Secret Love

Night addiction

As the most popular den of money in northern Beijing, Night Addiction is a nightclub with only booths on the first floor. The whole place is brightly lit and full of people dancing. The second floor is an independent KTV room. The third floor is a special private room for reception and entertainment. The fourth floor is a quiet lounge with musical instrument performances and expensive wines from all over the world.

The amount increases with each level, which is an invisible grading system.

At this moment, the pianist and cellist played a song "Can't Help Falling In Love"

Fu Siqi listened to the elegant music for a moment, then took a sip of the whiskey in front of him and said, "It's not your style to give the Qi family such a big show of strength right after returning to China."

Shang Yanci said casually, "Just consider it as a meeting gift for Yangyang."

Yangyang is Fu Siqi's daughter, who just turned three years old. She is a cute little girl with delicate skin and delicate figure. Shang Yanci only met her formally after returning to China this time. Before that, he had only seen her photos.

The Qi family's project was not within the scope of Shang Yanci's involvement, but since Fu's subsidiary was involved in this field, he asked the Qin family to sign the contract with Fu Group.

Fu Siqi didn't have to worry about the handover of the entire project; he could just lie down and count money.

Fu Siqi replied to the message from his wife on his phone and asked with a smile, "When will it be my turn to send a meeting gift?"

Shang Yanci turned her pinky ring and said nothing.

Fu Siqi: "I heard from the foreman that you met the eldest daughter of the Pei family last night, and you spent nearly half an hour alone in the tea room. How was the conversation?"

The private kitchen in City Z was opened by Fu Siqi's wife Luo Shuying. On the evening when Shang Yanci and Pei Yuning went to dine there, Luo Shuying accidentally lost one of her favorite earrings. So when Fu Siqi was checking the surveillance footage to find the earring, he inadvertently saw Pei Yuning standing in the corridor just around the corner, watching Shang Yanci's back as he walked into the private room.

This video was intercepted by Fu Siqi and sent to Shang Yanci. Although he did not reply, Shang Yanci would come to the private kitchen during this period in the next few days.

He chose a tea room on the second floor and waited for several hours every day.

Fu Siqi offered to help him keep an eye on the video surveillance, but Shang Yanci flatly refused.

The action of turning the ring paused for a moment, and Shang Yanci said carefully: "It was quite harmonious. Before leaving, I added her WeChat."

Fu Siqi got excited when he heard this and asked, "So how was your chat on WeChat?"

Shang Yanci frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows. With his slender, white fingers, he picked up the fragrant brandy on the table and said calmly, "Nothing to talk about."

After hearing this, Fu Siqi understood.

Shang Yanci sometimes gives people the impression of being an overly rigid and strict scholar. He always set high standards for himself and liked to pursue the ultimate optimal solution when doing things.

Especially when facing Pei Yuning, he would be more cautious.

I didn't take the initiative to send her a WeChat message because I couldn't think of a suitable opening line as a starting point.

To be honest, Pei Yuning had just been cheated on by Shang Heng unilaterally, so it was somewhat inappropriate to talk to her about relationship matters at this time.

Fu Siqi: "I'm not saying anything bad about you. If it were me, I would propose to Pei Yuning right now. To put it bluntly, there is no emotion in a marriage between wealthy families. How much weight do you think Shang Heng has in her heart?"

Fu Siqi was a straightforward person, and he couldn't help but say it all in one breath: "Instead of watching her marry another man who only cares about her family background and doesn't love her, it's better for you to take the initiative this time and let her marry you, the pure love warrior who has been secretly in love with her for many years."

Shang Yanci thought for a moment and tapped the table with his fingers: "How to take the initiative?"

Fu Siqi: "Tell me what happened between you two last night, starting from the moment you met. I will analyze it for you based on my experience."

Shang Yanci then recounted everything that happened last night regarding Pei Yuning, including the content of their conversation, without missing a word.

"I think Pei Yuning is somewhat interested in you, otherwise why would she ask you if you are a non-marriageist, and even find an excuse for the next meeting." Fu Siqi glanced at him unsatisfiedly, "Seize the opportunity, you can't let the girl take the initiative all the time."

Fu Siqi sighed and said, "If I were to follow your pace, my wife would have been chased away by her childhood sweetheart's brother. Shang Heng's derailment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. If you miss this opportunity, huh."

Shang Yanci seemed to be lost in thought, with her long eyelashes drooping, covering her amber eyes.

The manager came over, bent down and whispered something in Fu Siqi's ear.

After listening to this, Fu Siqi smiled meaningfully and raised his hand to indicate that he understood. The manager turned around and left.

"Miss Pei is surrounded by many people who are willing to take the initiative." Fu Siqi picked up the whiskey on the table and used the rim of the glass to hide the obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shang Yanci's brows were furrowed, his lips were straightened, and his emotions were rarely revealed: "What do you mean?"

Fu Siqi happily recounted the story: "Song Qingyi spent several hours selecting a male model yesterday. The requirements were extremely strict and the news spread throughout the circle. I originally thought she selected it for herself, after all, she has liked male models for a long time. It turns out that the person was selected for her best friend Miss Pei, who is playing on the third floor right now. Song Qingyi is also a person with a bad temper. This is to create momentum for Pei Yuning to slap Shang Heng in the face."

A message came through the phone. Fu Siqi took a look at it, replied, and stood up.

"My wife has ordered me to go home. This is what men with curfews do." Fu Siqi smiled affectionately, replied to the message, and patted Shang Yanci on the shoulder. "Miss Pei is in 3019 right now. You can do whatever you want. Think carefully about what I said. This is the experience of a successful married man."

After saying that, Fu Siqi left the lounge with great speed.

Shang Yanci leaned back against the soft leather sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and folded his hands in front of him.

Outside the window is the night scene with the lights just coming on. The sound of musical instruments in the lounge is still going on, this time it has changed to "A Thousand Years".

At a certain moment, the pulse on my wrist touched the pocket watch in my vest pocket, like a silent resonance.

At this moment, Shang Yanci opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the mobile phone on the table.
