All the men in the room were completely bewildered. What was going on? Weren't they supposed to be here for a blind date? Why did it feel like they were being caught cheating by the wife?
Shen Yanqing remained silent, his eyes scrutinizing everyone before finally settling on Gu Baiwei. His voice was gentler than ever before: "Be good, Weiwei, eat slowly."
Gu Baiwei almost spat out her soup. She really didn't expect that when this man said he would take her out to eat, he would actually go back to this private room, and he even sat next to her as if he were asserting his ownership.
How is she supposed to eat? She's being stared at by so many eyes, like she's being watched like a monkey.
However, Shen Yanqing, who was also being watched, seemed oblivious and used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork rib and put it in her bowl: "Sweetie, try this."
Her gentle tone was completely different from the cold and aloof man she had spoken to earlier.
The onlookers? So, we're all just third wheels?
The men who had been watching the two eat exchanged bewildered glances. After about ten minutes, the men who had wanted to strike up a conversation with Gu Baiwei could no longer hold back and stood up with dark faces to say goodbye.
Soon, only Ye Chuyue, Li Nanxing, and Lin Shuo remained at the table.
Seeing that all the blind dates she had painstakingly found had left, Ye Chuyue couldn't take it anymore and slammed her hand on the table: "What do you mean by this, Mr. Chen?"
Shen Yanqing raised her eyes indifferently: "Wrong, call me again."
Ye Chuyue? Is this person crazy? She ruined her aunt's blind date and is still lingering here. How can she be so shameless?
Others may fear him, but she doesn't.
She looked up and stared straight at him.
Shen Yanqing smiled and met her gaze, but his eyes were icy cold. He wouldn't allow his girlfriend to go on a blind date, not even if she was a relative.
As their gazes met in mid-air, it felt as if sparks were crackling in the air.
Gu Baiwei hurriedly tugged at Shen Yanqing beside her: "Yanqing."
"Yan Qing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuyue's eyes widened immediately. When did the two of them become so intimate?
Meeting her utterly shocked gaze, Gu Baiwei coughed lightly: "Um, Yueyue, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend."
With a snap, the water glass on the table was swept to the ground and shattered into pieces when Ye Chuyue stood up.
She pointed at Shen Yanqing, heartbroken, and asked, "When did you two get together?"
Gu Baiwei didn't dare to look her in the eye, and her voice lowered several degrees: "It's been a while, and I've been wanting to tell you."
Ye Chuyue clutched her chest, looking at the two with a hurt expression.
Shen Yanqing's lips curled up, and he gently added, "Come on, call me 'Uncle-in-law' and let me hear it?"
"dream!"
Ye Chuyue rushed over and grabbed Gu Baiwei's hand: "Come on, Auntie, let's go home."
Li Nanxing and Lin Shuo, who were standing behind him, came from well-off families and had heard of Mr. Shen before. However, they did not expect that this legendary big shot who had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds would be more easygoing than they had imagined.
Shen Yanqing followed slowly with his long legs: "I'll see you off."
"Need not."
Before Gu Baiwei could speak, Ye Chuyue directly refused on her behalf.
This guy surnamed Shen was never a good person to begin with. He had his eye on Sister Xia before, and now that my brother and Sister Xia are finally getting married, he's come back to bother my aunt. She will definitely not let him succeed.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuyue's gaze toward Shen Yanqing became even more hostile.
Gu Baiwei could only try to smooth things over: "Yan Qing, weren't you out to dinner with someone? We can drive back ourselves."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the restaurant entrance. Shen Yanqing naturally stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Baiwei, but Ye Chuyue stepped aside to block them.
But he was very tall, and Ye Chuyue's height of 165 cm did not block his view at all.
"Why are you standing so close when you're just talking?"
Ye Chuyue stared with her big eyes, looking just like a protective mother hen.
Shen Yanqing wasn't annoyed. He looked at Gu Baiwei with gentle eyes through the other person and said, "It's okay, it's over."
Before he could finish speaking, a high-pitched female voice came from behind him: "Brother Yan Qing, why haven't you gone back yet?"
Shen Yao stepped forward in her high heels, walked a few steps to Shen Yanqing's side, and naturally reached out to take his arm, her tone like she was being coquettish: "I specially ordered all your favorite dishes, just waiting for you to come back."
As she spoke, her eyes gazed tenderly at Shen Yanqing. Her affectionate gaze, coupled with her intimate gestures and the content of her words, seemed to be deliberately reminding others that their relationship was extraordinary.
One sentence made Ye Chuyue's face darken even more. This guy surnamed Chen was indeed no good. He was actually two-timing.
Gu Baiwei had already heard Shen Yanqing explain who she had come to eat with today, but she only frowned and glanced at Shen Yao without saying anything more.
The moment Shen Yanqing's arm was linked with Shen Yao's, his expression immediately turned cold. He pulled his arm back expressionlessly and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You and your second uncle can eat slowly."
"Brother Yanqing, I traveled all the way back to the country for you, how could you treat me like this?"
As Shen Yao spoke, her eyes immediately reddened, and she clung to his sleeve, looking aggrieved and refusing to let go.
"Let go."
Shen Yan coldly pushed her away, and tears instantly welled up in Shen Yao's eyes.
She bit her lip, glanced at Gu Baiwei who remained silent beside her, and felt a sudden surge of anger rising in her heart.
Why? The man she'd guarded for so many years was just lured away by this vixen?
"Weiwei, let's go."
Shen Yanqing didn't even glance at Shen Yao, but strode up to Gu Baiwei and pulled the troublesome Ye Chuyue aside.
Watching helplessly as the man she loved walked towards another woman, smiling at her with an unprecedented tenderness, the last thread of reason in Shen Yao's mind snapped completely.
Before anyone could react, she screamed and lunged at Gu Baiwei, slapping her across the face: "It's all your fault, you vixen! You seduced Brother Yan Qing, didn't you? Otherwise, why would he treat me like this?"
Not satisfied with just slapping her, she reached out to grab Gu Baiwei's hair, yelling shrilly, "I'll beat you to death, you vixen! You'll be punished for seducing other women's men!"
Before he could even grab Gu Baiwei, a large hand seized his wrist.
"stop!"
Shen Yanqing stared at Shen Yao with cold, clear eyes, his whole body exuding a chilling aura.
Shen Yao was startled by his gaze. Thinking of the way he had looked at Gu Baiwei earlier, she felt a surge of jealousy. "Brother Yan Qing, you're actually being mean to me? You've never been this mean to me before! Did this vixen seduce you with underhanded tricks? Otherwise, why would you treat me like this?"
"Shut up!"
Shen Yanqing's forehead veins bulged as he flung Shen Yao's hand away, his voice growing colder and deeper: "You should be glad I don't hit women, get out!"
"Brother Yanqing, you actually want me to get lost for this vixen?"
Shen Yao looked at Shen Yanqing in disbelief and screamed loudly.
