Zhou Yun instinctively covered Song Heng's mouth, leaning her entire upper body against her at the same time.
Fearing she might lose her balance, Song Heng reached out and held her lower back. Zhou Yun, completely unaware that their posture was making the two bodyguards in the car blush to a deep purplish-red.
"Mr. Song, you're never short of women to have dinner with. Please watch your words next time, so people don't think there's anything going on between us." Zhou Yun said, glancing to either side to see if there were any passersby.
Song Heng smiled, his gaze fixed on her with fervor and sincerity. "I am pure; you are the only one for me."
Zhou Yun's hand trembled slightly, the heat from her palm seemed to be burning her.
Suddenly, she placed her hands on his chest to create distance between them, her tone somewhat cold, "Mr. Song, if you want to play, please find someone else. I don't have time to play adult games with you here."
It was clear she was really angry. If it weren't for his status, Zhou Yun would probably have turned on him by now.
But he had seen Zhou Yun leaning against Ji Chu's chest, looking as shy and delicate as a lotus flower bathed in rain.
Song Heng closed his eyes briefly, suppressing the stinging sensation in them. When he looked up again, his gaze returned to its usual calm. "Miss Zhou, you've misunderstood. If it weren't for you that night, I might have perished at the hands of those sluts."
At this point, further provoking her will only backfire; it's better to retreat to advance.
Song Heng took out a cigarette from his pocket and fiddled with the cigarette butt with his fingertips, at least that way he could cover up his current state of mind.
"Besides, I have someone I like, so Miss Zhou can rest assured."
Having heard Song Heng's words, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't forced her that night when they were both drugged, which made him a true gentleman.
Zhou Yun had previously misunderstood that Song Heng would seek revenge on her because of this incident, but it turned out that he had someone he liked and therefore didn't care about her. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well... now that our misunderstanding has been cleared up, I won't bother you any longer. I'll go inside first?"
Since Song Heng has someone he likes, he naturally shouldn't be interested in her. Once the crisis is resolved, let's focus on our careers first.
Song Heng chuckled, "Then when is my meal...?"
“Another day, I have work to do today.” Zhou Yun pointed to the clubhouse.
"good."
Genting Club can be described as a money pit for Kyoto's celebrities and the wealthy, but its interior design style is completely inconsistent with the temperament of its owner.
Unlike the luxurious and grand private clubs, the decoration of Yunding exudes an antique charm, with the melodious sound of the guzheng and the tinkling of spring water echoing in the hall.
Chu Ningxuan's private clubs are known for their palatial luxury, so seeing this antique and elegant club designed by him now felt somewhat unreal.
"Are you Ms. Zhou?" a waiter asked as he approached.
It seems Chu Ningxuan has already made arrangements with the restaurant. Zhou Yun nodded and asked, "Which private room is Mr. Chen Lin in?"
"At Yunxi Pavilion, but Miss Zhou, Mr. Shen is hosting a private banquet today, and your name is not on the guest list."
"President Chu has already arranged Tianyue Pavilion for you. I'll take you there."
Zhou Yun waved her hand, "No need, just find me a room near President Chen's private room."
The waitress, dressed in a light blue cheongsam, looked at Zhou Yun with some embarrassment.
"But President Chu instructed us to take good care of you, and President Shen's private room is the Yun-branded one. If President Chu finds out, he will blame us for not treating you well."
Zhou Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "If you don't tell, and I don't tell, how will he know, right?"
"But... all the private rooms next to Mr. Shen's are booked. The guests should be arriving soon, so it might be difficult to free up a space." The waiter was almost in tears. Today was his first day on the job, and if something went wrong and he was held accountable, he would be the one to lose his job.
Seeing the waiter's hesitation, Zhou Yun stopped insisting and said, "Fine, I'll take you to the private room he arranged."
"Yes, yes, please follow me." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, got up and led Zhou Yun toward the elevator.
Just then, a respectful voice came from behind, "Mr. Song, are you going to Yunlin Pavilion or Tianling Pavilion now?"
Zhou Yun looked over curiously at the sound, and in the dim light, the other person's face was illuminated with sharp features.
Receiving a curious gaze, Song Heng looked at her and smiled, "We meet again, Miss Zhou."
Zhou Yun withdrew her gaze and nodded faintly.
Just as I was about to step onto the elevator with the waiter, wait...
We booked two rooms, one of which was named after the Yun family.
"Did you book a room at Yunzi Hotel?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Hmm." He nodded.
Zhou Yun quickly put on a pretty smile and moved closer to Song Heng. "Mr. Song, you see, you've booked the Yun and Tian rooms, and they're not on the same floor. Mine is also in the Tian room. How about I exchange my Tianyue Pavilion room for your Yunlin Pavilion room? That way, you and your friend won't have to run up and down the stairs."
Song Heng stared at her for two seconds, then said with a half-smile, "But I'm eating alone, and the top-tier room is too big."
Zhou Yun: ...
You're eating alone and you booked two private rooms? Do you have too much money to spend?
"Well, you'll get bored eating alone, so why don't we share? Let's not waste food."
bingo
Song Heng quickly concealed the smile that was about to spread across his face, pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally said with a somewhat reluctant tone, "It's not impossible, after all, Miss Zhou just rejected my invitation, I don't know if it will disturb your work."
Zhou Yun: "Hiss... Look at what you're saying. I didn't know you were alone. We're all friends, let's not be so formal."
"Mr. Song, Ms. Zhou, the rooms have been changed. This way, please."
The waiter came forward and led the two of them to the private room.
Although Yunlin Pavilion is not as large as the top-tier private rooms, it is not small either.
The room is decorated in the Song Dynasty aesthetic style, with exquisite and elegant furniture that is both simple and grand.
Behind a semi-transparent screen, a beautiful woman in classical attire plays a tune called "Pear Blossom Snow," amidst artificial hills and flowing water.
Upon seeing Song Heng and Zhou Yun enter, the beauty behind the screen slowly spoke, "What kind of music would you two distinguished guests like to hear?"
Zhou Yun couldn't help but marvel at how Chu Ningxuan's taste had improved.
Zhou Yun turned her head to look at Song Heng. With such a beauty in front of her, even she, a woman, was almost mesmerized by the voice of this classical beauty, let alone the vigorous Song Heng.
As a result, the man she was captivated by said she didn't see him, only an icy face that seemed to have sunk to the bottom.
Song Heng sat down on the sofa with a cold face, not even glancing at the other person, and simply waved his hand.
The beauty behind the screen immediately got up and left the private room.
There were only two people left in the room, and Song Heng kept fiddling with the cup in his hand.
Zhou Yun, on the other hand, was restless and kept glancing at her watch.
"Miss Zhou, are you so eager to have dinner with me?" Song Heng slowly took the teapot and poured water into her cup.
Zhou Yun was worried that Shen Lin's situation might have ended too soon, leaving her unable to catch him, but she still maintained a smile on her face, saying, "It is my honor to have dinner with President Song."
Song Heng: "Really?"
Zhou Yun nodded somewhat guiltily.
"The newly appointed general manager of Yunda seems to be right next to us, I think his name is... what was it again?" Song Heng said to himself.
“Chen Lin!” Zhou Yun couldn’t help but interrupt him.
"Oh, right, his name is Shen Lin." Song Heng paused. "So you changed to Yunlin Pavilion just to see him?"
Before coming, he checked all of Shen Lin's information and found that, apart from being her company's business partner, he couldn't find any reason why Zhou Yun would go to such lengths to see Shen Lin.
