Snap.
A sugar cube falls into the coffee, and a drop of dark liquid splashes out, landing on the pristine white tabletop, looking particularly glaring.
Qin Bai casually wiped his face with a towel, his smile growing even wider.
"Why are you so nervous? I was just saying it casually."
The woman's composure had vanished; she opened her mouth several times in embarrassment but couldn't utter a word.
It seems this person wasn't specially trained; they were probably a hired extra. Their manners are really poor; they were muted after just a few words.
At that moment, two people walked out of a private room in the distance.
Laughter interrupted his conversation with the woman.
Qin Bai looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.
So that's how it is.
He finally understood what these people were trying to do by going to all this trouble.
The young man hiding in the shadows saw this scene, sneered, and then turned and left.
I have no interest in watching the rest of the drama unfold. Regardless of the outcome, the objective has been achieved.
"Qingyan, are you free tonight? How about having dinner with me?"
A man in his thirties, impeccably dressed in a suit, had a fair complexion with a touch of androgynous beauty, and the diamonds on his wristwatch shone brilliantly under the lights.
As he spoke, he reached out and tucked a strand of hair from Luo Qingyan's forehead behind her ear.
The little yandere's reaction was quite unexpected; instead of dodging, she even wore a gentle smile.
"Okay, how about we go to that restaurant we always go to?"
"You mean that Sichuan restaurant? The owner has changed, the chef has changed, and it doesn't taste the same anymore."
Luo Qingyan asked with a regretful expression, "Are there any other good places?"
"There is indeed a good Cantonese restaurant; we can give it a try."
"Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, she naturally took the man's arm and walked outside.
Just then, the coffee shop door was pushed open, and several people barged in.
"Old Qin, have you been dismembered already?"
Gu Zichen gripped the dagger and looked around. When he saw Qin Bai sitting there unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned and glared at Wan Zhou with displeasure.
"This is what you meant by danger? I'll never believe you again... Huh? What's with that expression? Why...?"
When he looked in the direction Wanzhou was staring at, he gripped the dagger in his hand even tighter.
"Luo Qingyan and...and a man?"
The coffee shop fell into a deathly silence.
Wanzhou: Damn it, wasn't this supposed to be true love? How did it turn into this after just a short time? Old Qin is going to go crazy now, isn't he?
Zhou Lin: Did I see it wrong? I must have seen it wrong. I always say you can't drive too fast, but you're making a mirage.
Gu Zichen: Which one to cut first?
Luo Qingyan hadn't expected to see Qin Bai here. After a moment of surprise, she hurriedly let go of the man's arms, her face showing anxiety.
Qin Bai stood up and slowly walked to the two of them.
The man raised an eyebrow, looking at him calmly, showing no sign of being caught.
Luo Qingyan clasped her hands together nervously and said, "Xiaobai, let me explain, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Zichen rushed over.
"What else is there to explain? Do you really think Old Qin is a fool?"
He turned to Qin Bai and said, "Tell me how to deal with this man. Leave it to me. I'll make him regret ever being born."
Luo Qingyan quickly stepped between the two, looking anxiously at Qin Bai: "Xiao Bai, it's really not what you think..."
Qin Bai smiled and waved his hand, a tender look appearing on his face.
"Sister Luo, why are you so nervous? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"
"ah?"
Qin Bai's gaze fell on what was behind her.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the person who's going to support you, right?"
“Um…” Luo Qingyan hesitated for a moment.
"Continue." The man walked past Luo Qingyan and stood in front of Qin Bai, a hint of interest on his face.
When Wanzhou saw the man being so arrogant, his temper flared up instantly.
"Damn it, this is the first time I've seen someone more arrogant than me. Today I'll teach you a lesson..."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.
Qin Bai quickly grabbed him: "Stop."
"Hey Lao Qin, when did you become so good-tempered? How can you still stand it when people are bullying you to the point of humiliation?"
"Who told you I was being bullied?"
"Luo Qingyan has already..."
"She is a woman."
Wan Zhou glared and shouted, "I know Luo Qingyan is a woman, but that doesn't mean..."
Qin Bai pointed helplessly at the effeminate man and said, "I said she, she is a woman."
"W-what did you say?"
Wanzhou stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The dagger in Gu Zichen's hand fell to the ground.
Zhou Lin covered his forehead and sighed repeatedly.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
Everyone in the coffee shop was watching the dramatic scene unfold before them.
Luo Qingyan had recovered her senses by now, and she asked in surprise, "Xiaobai, how did you know?"
"I don't know either."
"Then how can you say she's a woman?"
Qin Bai smiled, his eyes narrowing, "Because I trust you."
One sentence made the little yandere's eyes glaze over; could there be any sweeter words than that?
Seeing the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Gu Zichen immediately took out his notebook.
