Wen Shengyao noticed and asked, "Who is this icy beauty?"
"My new friend, her name is Bai Ning."
Lin Yusheng was referring to friends, not bodyguards.
Bai Ning quickly replied, "I am Miss Lin's personal bodyguard."
There was an awkward moment in the scene.
Shen Yishu quickly smoothed things over, "Since you're here, we're all friends. Come on, let's have a drink together."
The table in the private room was covered with a lot of colorful bottles of liquor.
Shen Yishu said, "We haven't been here for drinks since Shengsheng became an actress. This is a new cocktail the bartender made. Tonight, we're going to drink until we drop."
All three of them shared a common hobby: drinking.
Lin Yusheng was worried that Bai Ning would feel awkward, so she gave her a drink first, and then the four of them toasted together.
With the alcohol taking effect, only Bai Ning remained sober among the four.
Wen Shengyao plopped down next to Bai Ning, his hand naturally resting on her shoulder.
Bai Ning glanced at it but didn't say anything.
Wen Shengyao picked out a glass of wine from the table and handed it to her, saying, "Look at you, you can't even relax when you come to drink. How come such a beautiful person has become an iceberg? Just like my older brother, no, my older brother can even sneer, hahaha."
"You know who my older brother is, right? It's Lu Zhengye. Oh, he's your boss now. How could you not know him?"
...
Wen Shengyao went on and on and on.
Bai Ning remained silent, showing no sign of impatience.
Lin Yusheng couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Wen Shengyao, you're really noisy!"
“I wasn’t talking to you, and Bai Ning didn’t complain that I was being noisy.”
Lin Yusheng rolled her eyes at him, "Bai Ning just doesn't want to talk to you."
Wen Shengyao leaned closer to Bai Ning, looking aggrieved, and asked her, "Do you really think I'm noisy?"
Before Bai Ning was Wen Shengyao's slightly tipsy face. He was very close, with light brown hair and the scent of shower gel on his body.
She awkwardly stepped back, and uttered a single word, "No."
Wen Shengyao was as happy as a big dog. He looked at Lin Yusheng smugly and said, "Look, Bai Ning said herself that she doesn't mind me being noisy. I hereby declare that from now on, Bai Ning's position in my heart surpasses that of you."
Lin Yusheng and Shen Yishu both clicked their tongues in disapproval.
Shen Yishu said, "Who cares about you? Bai Ning is just too embarrassed to say it."
Lin Yusheng suddenly remembered that Shen Yishu had mentioned before that she wanted to become an online writer.
How's your novel coming along?
Shen Yishu smiled bitterly, "It flopped, but you don't need to comfort me. I'm prepared for a long battle. Those who have a huge hit in their first book are geniuses, and I'm obviously not one of them. But I won't give up. Anyway, I have plenty of time."
Seeing her high spirits, Lin Yusheng nodded with satisfaction.
Shen Yishu put her arm around Lin Yusheng's shoulder and said seriously, "If one day my novel is adapted into a film or television series, you must play the female lead."
"Okay, okay."
Wen Shengyao laughed and said, "When that day comes, will Lin Yusheng already be old?"
"If you can't speak properly, shut up, or I'll beat you up," Shen Yishu said fiercely.
"Hmph, your family has already arranged a marriage for you, and you're still so fierce. Be careful, or no one in Lucheng will dare to marry you."
Shen Yishu closed her eyes and took a deep breath in anger; she was annoyed whenever this matter was brought up.
Lin Yusheng was still clueless. "What? I didn't know that."
"It's nothing, it's just my mom. I'm only twenty-four, and she keeps nagging me to find a boyfriend. Now it's even more outrageous. Every time I go back, I see some Mr. Chen or Mr. Li. I'm really fed up."
Lin Yusheng and Wen Shengyao both laughed at the same time.
“Your aunt probably thinks that letting you date for three to five years before getting married is just the right time,” Lin Yusheng said.
Wen Shengyao chimed in, "That's right, that's right."
Lin Yusheng then asked Wen Shengyao, "What about you? Your older brother and sister are all married and have children, so your aunt and uncle don't pressure you?"
“You all know that I was betrothed when I was a child. My mother and Aunt Xia were very close. She still can’t get over Aunt Xia’s passing. She’s also still upset about Xia Qingzhi’s disappearance. She won’t urge me until she hears news about her.”
Xia Qingzhi was the daughter of the Xia family. When she was six years old, her parents died at sea while on a business trip, and she disappeared a few days later.
The Wen family has never given up looking for Xia Qingzhi over the past few years, but they haven't been able to find any information about her.
Lin Yusheng also felt a little sad, "When we were little, Qingzhi and I were in the same kindergarten. If she were still here, I guess we would still be good friends."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy. Shen Yishu said, "No news is good news. I believe Miss Xia will definitely come back, and then that brat Wen Shengyao will have a wife."
"Ha ha ha ha"
"Get lost. Even if she comes back, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and she's grown up. What feelings could there be? Of course, you should marry someone you love. But I'll treat her like a little sister and spoil her."
...
Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Bai Ning was the only one with a heavy heart.
Shen Yishu leaned close to Lin Yusheng's ear and said mysteriously, "I've also prepared a surprise for you."
"What?"
Shen Yishu winked and then made a phone call.
Five minutes later, Lin Yusheng learned what the surprise she was talking about was.
Five tall, well-proportioned men walked in. They were all dressed in white shirts and black trousers. Some had a refined appearance and wore gold-rimmed glasses; some were androgynous, so handsome that it was hard to tell if they were male or female; and some had a puppy-like appearance, cute and adorable...
Lin Yusheng: "..."
Shen Yishu asked Lin Yusheng excitedly, "How is it? Do you like it?"
Lin Yusheng felt somewhat helpless. If it were in the past, she would definitely have liked it.
But now she feels guilty whenever she looks at handsome men, because Lu Zhengye's image appears in her mind.
Shen Yishu then turned to Bai Ning and said, "Bai Ning, see if there's anyone you like. I'll have him come and drink with you."
Wen Shengyao looked displeased and said angrily, "None of these men are as handsome as me. What kind of taste do you have?"
"Oh, oh, oh, getting all worked up, huh?" Shen Yishu said sarcastically.
Wen Shengyao's face turned red with anger. He then asked Bai Ning, "Bai Ning, tell me, between me and them, who is more handsome?"
The five male models that Shen Yishu selected danced the most popular short video dance at the moment.
The way they twisted their hips so powerfully, combined with each different face, made for a truly enjoyable experience.
Lin Yusheng was getting more and more into it, only to be proven wrong by her earlier thought.
She kept giving herself mental suggestions, believing that Lu Zhengye was the most handsome man in her heart.
But Lu Zhengye wouldn't twist it for her to see.
She just admires it, like watching a video, without doing anything else.
Unbeknownst to Lin Yusheng, Lu Zhengye was on his way to her location.
