However, Shi An and Ruan Qing'an did not notice the situation in the private room behind them. Zhou Qianqian and the fat woman were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.
Zhou Qianqian, in particular, was completely stunned, a look of joy spreading across her eyes. It seemed that today's matter could be resolved.
On the contrary, the fat woman was already pale. She had already inquired about the Ruan family, but she had not heard that the two young ladies of the Ruan family had this relationship with Shi An!
Soon, Zhou Qianqian stepped forward to break the deadlock, smiling obsequiously: "Miss Ruan, you've finally arrived."
"Wait, wait... Could it be that Shi An is?!"
Zhou Qianqian continued, "Shi An is discussing a collaboration right now. He was planning to come find you after he finished, but I didn't expect to see you here. Shall I take you and Shi An back in a bit?"
The fat woman suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Zhou Qianqian, her eyes practically threatening to devour her alive.
Has she gone mad?! Daring to steal someone from Ruan Qing'an?!
Even Shi An and Ruan Qing'an, who were standing at the door, looked at Zhou Qianqian. Although she was nervous, she pretended to be calm. If Ruan Qing'an really left today, who knows how that fat woman would take revenge on Shi An. It would be better to take advantage of Ruan Qing'an's influence now!
Shi An frowned slightly, and then understood Zhou Qianqian's meaning. But this was clearly using Ruan Qing'an, and besides, she didn't know what the person being slandered was thinking.
He glanced over and noticed that Ruan Qingan was staring at him without blinking.
Shi An: ...She seems quite willing.
The fat woman realized what was happening and quickly stood up: "Um, I remember I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later..."
Seeing that the fat woman was trying to slip away, Zhou Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected Ruan Qing'an's name to be so useful.
Just then, Shi An felt a sharp pain in his hand that was covering Ruan Qing'an's chattering little mouth. He couldn't help but look down and saw that Ruan Qing'an was biting his hand, as if she would bite him and not let go if Shi An stopped her from talking.
Shi An remained silent and released her hand.
Ruan Qing'an then "mercifully" relented, turned around and walked past Shi An into the private room, leaving Shi An standing there. He raised his hand and looked at the bright teeth marks on his hand.
"He's really like a dog..."
He muttered something under his breath, but didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Ruan Qing'an had already sat down in the chair with his legs crossed, and glanced at the fat woman: "Did I say you could leave?"
Upon hearing this, the private room fell into a deathly silence. Not only the fat woman, but even Zhou Qianqian's face turned pale. She had originally thought that given Ruan Qing'an and Shi An's relationship, they wouldn't care about such things.
Unexpectedly...
The plump woman spoke first with a forced smile: "Miss Ruan, is there anything else you need? I'll make sure to take care of it properly for you."
What just happened?
Ruan Qing'an raised an eyebrow, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
After Zhou Qianqian realized what had happened, she spoke first to the fat woman and immediately recounted what had just occurred. Seeing Ruan Qing'an's expression growing colder and colder, the fat woman glared at Zhou Qianqian and then smiled apologetically.
“Miss Ruan, if I had known that Shi An was your person, I definitely wouldn’t have done such a thing. I ordered quite a few dishes from Yu Chu Fang, and they will all be served in a little while. This is to apologize to you and Shi An.”
"Oh, you mean this?"
Ruan Qing'an glanced at the table, chuckled, and saw Shi An standing at the door, head down, biting a cigarette, looking at her coldly. She gave him a look and coughed suggestively.
Zhou Qianqian looked back and forth between the two of them, feeling a little strange.
But she discovered that Shi An seemed to understand Ruan Qing'an's hints without any difficulty, just as Ruan Qing'an could read his meaning from his silent gaze when he was not speaking.
—It cannot be ruled out that he couldn't hide the urge to kill someone in his eyes.
At this moment, a hint of helplessness appeared in Shi An's eyes.
"Ahem, Shi An."
"..."
Shi An gave a curt "hmm," stubbed out his cigarette, and strolled up behind Ruan Qing'an, the pungent smell of tobacco wafting over him.
He stretched out his long arm, half-embracing Ruan Qing'an's shoulder, almost enveloping her entirely in his embrace. She was like a treasure possessed by an evil dragon, yet Ruan Qing'an's gaze was cold and arrogant as she stared at the fat woman.
Clearly, Shi An's actions completely confirmed what Zhou Qianqian had said, and most importantly... Ruan Qingan now had an opportunity to make trouble.
The fat woman's face became even more distorted and unsightly.
Ruan Qing'an chuckled and asked in return, "The dishes from Yu Chu Fang, their chefs always send me a portion every time they make a new dish. We're getting tired of them. Why are you still bringing Shi'an to eat this?"
"Miss Ruan, I don't know either..."
"Do you know what this has to do with me?"
Ruan Qing'an interrupted her directly, asking in return, "If you want to cooperate, then cooperate properly. Don't keep thinking about such dirty things."
"And—you even told Shi An that if you wanted to, you could make him unable to make it in the entertainment industry anytime, and that no one could save him a second time, right?"
Ruan Qing'an's leaden eyes held a half-smile: "Quite the airs, aren't they? How impressive."
No, no.
Cold sweat dripped down the fat woman's face. The reason she was able to find out the Ruan family's attitude was because she had a business relationship with them, but now...
She hunched over, no longer daring to be arrogant in the slightest.
Because there's someone even more arrogant than her...
Ruan Qing'an tapped his fingertips on the table and scoffed, "How about making me unable to survive either, hmm?"
The fat woman was completely speechless, and the atmosphere in the private room was deathly silent. Seeing her increasingly timid expression, Ruan Qing'an finally spoke up: "Alright, get out."
"Remember to be kind and don't always think about dirty things."
You're the one who's paying the bills, why are you criticizing me?
The fat woman roared inwardly, but her face remained respectful and agreeable, perfectly embodying the principle of "I'm attacking fiercely inside, but outwardly I'm meek and submissive."
Just as the fat woman was about to leave, Ruan Qing'an suddenly called out to her: "By the way, that perfume endorsement."
"Send the contract tomorrow, right away!"
The fat woman immediately made a promise, and only after Ruan Qing'an impatiently waved her hand did she leave quickly, as if granted a pardon.
As for causing trouble for Shi An?
What a joke! She doesn't want to get herself killed!
After the fat woman left, Shi An straightened up. It seemed that Ruan Qing'an's scent still lingered on his arms. It was a sweet floral perfume mixed with the smell of tobacco, which could make his thoughts turn into a mess.
He leaned against the side with his eyes half-closed.
Zhou Qianqian forced a smile and said, "Miss Ruan, we really couldn't solve this problem, so we had to resort to this tactic. I hope you can be magnanimous. Shi An has a bad temper."
"Oh, it's nothing."
Ruan Qing'an paused, hesitating as if he wanted to say something.
At this moment, Shi An suddenly said, "Thank you very much this time."
"No, it's just... I originally wanted to apologize to you for what happened before, it's not a big deal."
Ruan Qing'an said to Zhou Qianqian, "If anything happens in the future, just handle it in my name. If there's anything you can't solve, just call me. I... well, I also quite like Shi'an. If you need any help, just call me."
"I'll be going now, I ordered from the restaurant next door."
Ruan Qingan glanced at Shi An.
The tall man was leaning against the window, his aggressive eyes cold and slightly sinister, like a wild beast taking a nap with its eyes closed. He did not speak.
Only after she left the private room did Shi An finally look up.
Without the incessant chatter that never stopped for so long, his ears were much quieter, but... he also felt that something was missing from the liveliness.
He was always easily distracted by her noisy chatter.
The private room fell silent. Zhou Qianqian glanced at Shi An's slightly absent-minded expression and couldn't help but say, "Brother Shi, if it were Miss Ruan—I mean, if—"
"Your sugar daddy is her, can you accept that?"
