Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Private rooms on the third floor.

Xu Zhiwei and Lu Xingci sat together.

Shen Yu approached with a wine glass in his hand and sat down on the edge of the coffee table opposite him.

Her long, slender legs were spread wide on either side, a very aggressive sitting posture.

He confined Lu Xingci's legs within his own territory.

He bent down, looking at him with a leisurely air, his tone teasing.

"Is this what you mean by sleeping?"

Lu Xingci raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"I have no obligation to report to you."

At first, when Shen Yu caught her in the act, Lu Xingci felt a little embarrassed.

After all, it was he who lied.

However, Shen Yu and his friends forcibly took them to a private room on the third floor and deliberately kept Jiang Wenzhao out so that someone could watch him.

Lu Xingci was angry, so her tone towards Shen Yu was naturally not pleasant.

Shen Yu's lips curved into a smile, and he raised an eyebrow.

"That's true, after all, we're not even friends."

Lu Xingci looked away guiltily, his tone softening.

"Shen Yu, let me and my friend go."

Shen Yu shrugged.

"Go ahead, you're free here forever."

Lu Xingci glanced at him, unsure how much of his words were true and how much were false.

She pulled Xu Zhiwei, who looked completely bewildered, to her feet.

"Walk."

Xu Zhiwei, who was watching from the sidelines, was suddenly pulled and staggered.

She stood up, grabbed Lu Xingci's arm, and whispered a question.

"What exactly is going on between you and Shen Yu?"

Lu Xingci frowned. "Let's go outside first."

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Yu's deep, magnetic, and sexy voice came from behind him.

He gently swirled the wine in his glass, his captivating eyes fixed on the liquid within, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Tsk, you're saying your friend just returned to China? Will the company's approval process be rejected because of their questionable overseas background?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingci paused in his steps.

She turned around abruptly and glared at Shen Yu.

"You're threatening me!"

He was able to find out about Jiang Wenzhao in such a short time; if he really wanted to stop him, it would be very easy.

Shen Yu lazily lifted his eyelids and said casually.

"Miss Lu, you misunderstand. How can this be called a threat? I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."

Lu Xingci and he stared at each other silently.

Xu Zhiwei glanced at Lu Xingci, then at Shen Yu, a bold and absurd idea forming in her mind.

Duan Lingfeng and Jiang Lin stood to the side, looking at each other, somewhat bewildered by the current situation.

They recognized Lu Xingci; she was Song Qinghui's girlfriend, and they had met her a few times.

But that's about it.

Why would Shen Yu care about her so much?

Could it be...?

A bold idea formed in their minds, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"No way..."

"It seems possible?"

"But she's Song Qinghui's girlfriend. Even a rabbit won't eat the grass near its burrow."

"Others might not eat it, but Brother Yu might. Besides, Lu Xingci is indeed very beautiful."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they all nodded in agreement.

Although they had never done it before, in their minds, this was something Shen Yu would do.

"Shen Yu, what exactly do you want?"

After a moment of eye contact, Lu Xingci gave in and spoke.

Jiang Wenzhao is risking everything to start his business back in China, determined to make a name for himself and set a good example for his family.

If he were implicated because of himself, Lu Xingci would feel uneasy for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu chuckled softly.

"Is that guy surnamed Wen really that important to you?"

Lu Xingci did not answer, but only repeated it.

"What exactly do you want?"

Shen Yu stood up and took a step forward, getting closer to Lu Xingci.

"you."

"What?"

Shen Yu said, enunciating each word clearly.

I said, I want you.

Xu Zhiwei took a deep breath, then held it, her eyes wide open.

Good heavens, you guessed right?

Duan Lingfeng and his companions, on the other hand, were gloating and watching the show with great excitement.

Lu Xingci frowned.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Shen Yu abandoned his serious demeanor and reverted to his usual carefree attitude.

"Tsk, you're the one who asked. You didn't believe me even after I told you."

"Shen Yu, I'm very grateful to you for what happened yesterday, but..."

Just as Lu Xingci was about to speak, Shen Yu held up three fingers.

"Promise me three things."

"What?"

Lu Xingci didn't understand.

"If you agree to three conditions, I'll let your friend go, how about it?"

Shen Yu patiently repeated it.

Lu Xingci took a deep breath. "What are the conditions?"

"First, break up with Song Qinghui."

Duan Lingfeng and the others: Holy crap! Brother Yu really is trying to poach our talent!

Xu Zhiwei: What the heck? Was he that direct? Didn't he know that Xingci had already broken up with Song Qinghui?

Xu Zhiwei pondered to herself, then looked at Lu Xingci and frantically gave him meaningful glances.

Lu Xingci squeezed her hand, gave her a "don't say it" look, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I promise."

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to agree so readily.

Judging from the looks of it, he didn't like it that much.

"Secondly, have dinner with me tomorrow."

Lu Xingci frowned. "Are you sure you just want me to have dinner with you?"

Is it that simple?

Lu Xingci couldn't quite see through Shen Yu.

Shen Yu smiled and nodded. "Of course, Miss Lu, do you take me for some kind of jackal or tiger?"

"Whether you are a jackal or a tiger, you know it yourself."

Shen Yu smiled and bent his third finger.

"third……"

Shen Yu looked at her; her eyes were clear and bright, as clean as a peeled lychee, moist and bright.

He swallowed hard, his throat bobbed slightly, and then withdrew his hand.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

Lu Xingci's face darkened, and he frowned as he looked at him.

"Are you kidding me?"

"So, were you actually hoping for something just now?"

Lu Xingci did not respond to him.

"Then I hope you keep your word and don't implicate my friends."

After saying that, Lu Xingci pulled Xu Zhiwei along and strode towards the door.

Xu Zhiwei was pulled along and glanced back at Shen Yu, who was looking at her with a smile.

Why did she think Shen Yu was about to propose just now?

Good heavens, she must have been watching too many short dramas lately to have such an absurd idea.

The door to the private room opened, and Lu Xingci pulled Xu Zhiwei out.

Jiang Wenzhao paced anxiously in the corridor, unable to go in or leave without feeling safe.

Just as I was hesitating whether to call the police, I saw Lu Xingci walk out from inside.

He strode forward to greet him, asking with concern.

"Are you alright? Did they bully you?"

Lu Xingci shook his head. "No, let's go."

Xu Zhiwei helped Lu Xingci walk ahead, with Jiang Wenzhao following closely behind.

As he lifted his foot, he glanced back at the private room.

Shen Yu was smiling and waving at him, a smile full of provocation.

Like a hunter watching its prey doomed, full of mockery and toying.

Although Jiang Wenzhao's family was wealthy, they were not from Beijing.

He naturally didn't know Shen Yu's name.

But he recognized Jiang Lin among them; he was the young master of the Jiang family in Sanshui, Beijing.

A business partner I had dinner with today mentioned that their business has grown so much because of their relationship with the Jiang family.

Jiang Wenzhao saw Jiang Lin in the group photo that the other party was showing off, and that's when he recognized him.

Judging from their relationship, the one named Shen Yu seems to have an even more extraordinary background.

All three of them had been drinking and were unable to drive.

Jiang Wenzhao called a designated driver and sat in the passenger seat.

Xu Zhiwei and Lu Xingci sat in the back row.

Jiang Wenzhao turned around several times, wanting to speak, but swallowed the words back.

Xu Zhiwei glanced at Lu Xingci and nudged her lightly with her elbow.

"Are you hiding something from me?"
