Chapter 505: 0495 Why are you running around like that?   Chapter 505: 0495 Why are you running around like that?                                   “Can’t see me, running around for what?”


    Fu Qiyuan’s expression was rather unappealing as he entered the private room and found only a few extra faces, with the one person he deeply cared for nowhere to be seen.


    Ye Zhichen tugged at her lips. It was just for a short while; was there really a need to chase all the way to the restroom?


    “It was just using the restroom. Look how nervous you are.”


    Fu Qiyuan gave her a cold, distant nce and said nothing.


    The smile on Ye Zhichen’s face stiffened, and she felt somewhat embarrassed.


    “Xiao Ran asked me to apany her here.”


    Su Ran raised her eyebrows, looking meaningfully at Ye Zhichen: Did I ask you to apany me?


    Ye Zhichen pursed her lips and stealthily nced toward Fu Qiyuan.


    With your spouse’s chilly eyes that seem like they could devour someone, do you think I dare say I’m here with you?


    Su Ran turned her head to nce at the man beside her, only to see his cold and austere expression, his deep eyes showing the usual indifference and detachment.


    There was nothing out of the ordinary.


    Su Ran swept a nce at Ye Zhichen and saw her smile was rigid.


    Ye Zhichen pouted. Coward!


    Do you dare to notice how he’s looking at me?


    Fu Qiyuan observed the two exchanging nces, and his deep eyes narrowed slightly.


    Finally, he pulled Su Ran away without saying a word!


    Ye Zhichen: “…”


    This egotistical freak!


    Just as her mood was improving, it was spoiled by this freak.


    –


    When the three returned to the private room, everyone looked up at them. Despite Ye Zhichen’s best efforts to remain calm, her eyshes trembled imperceptibly when those cold, frosty eyesnded on her.


    “Sister-inw, that was quite a long trip to the restroom, huh!”


    Mo Shangjie looked meaningfully at Su Ran, his gaze skimming casually over Ye Zhichen and Chi Mu, his tone cheeky and irritating like someone asking for a beat-down.


    Suppressing the urge to punch him, Su Ran shot him a re before Fu Qiyuan pulled her to sit down beside him.


    To Fu Qiyuan’s right was Xiao Yize, to his left was Su Ran, and next to Su Ran were Chu Ling and Mo Shangjie.


    Chu Ling immediately straightened up, smiling shyly and obediently at Su Ran.


    Fu Qiyuan didn’t notice what was happening here, as all his attention was focused on the man beside him.


    Xiao Yize lifted his gaze, smiling meaningfully at him.


    “This seat you’ve chosen is really not to everyone’s liking.”


    Fu Qiyuan nced at him coolly. “Are you here to get beaten up?”


    Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow. “Certainly not, I’m here to see the person I want to see.”


    As he spoke, his eyes subtly drifted toward Su Ran.


    Fu Qiyuan’s deep eyes narrowed, a dangerous light shing past.


    “Ye Zhichen, find a seat to sit. What are you standing there for?”


    Mo Shangjie, ignoring the tension on the other side, focused on Ye Zhichen who was still standing in ce.


    Instantly, everyone looked up at her.


    Ye Zhichen bit her lip, feeling extremely ufortable under their gaze.


    The private room was spacious, but there weren’t many seats left; after everyone had taken their seats, only two spots remained next to Xiao Yize and Chi Mu.


    Mo Shangjie’s urging left her flustered.


    Su Ran looked towards the seat facing the entrance.


    Chi Mu sat there calmly, his whole demeanor leisurely and rxed as he leaned back in his chair, his ck suit jacket slightly open to reveal the expensive shirt underneath.


    Fingers with distinct joints sped an unlit cigarette, and a pair of slightly upturned eyes looked profoundly deep, exuding an air of indifferent aloofness.


    In the face of Mo Shangjie’s words, not even a brow was raised.


    His expression showed neither pleasure nor anger, leaving one unable to guess what he was thinking.


    It was as if none of the people or events here had anything to do with him.


    Mo Shangjie’s eyelids twitched, his face speechless.


    “Damn it, it’s just a seat. What’s the difference where you sit? What are you pondering over?”


    The whole private room fell silent at the words of Mo Shangjie.


    Chi Mu’s narrow eyes slowly lifted, gazing at the woman who stood out from the crowd in the room.


    Ye Zhichen stood against the light, her beautiful features half-bathed in brightness, half in dimness.


    But her contours were incredibly sharp.


    The dark eyes paused on her face for a while, but a tinge of irony uncontrobly surged in his heart.


    This woman, even her looks, happened to be exactly what he despised the most.


    Ha…


    It would be for the best, wouldn’t it?


    Almost the moment he lowered his eyes, Ye Zhichen looked up, came over to Xiao Yize with a smiling face, and sat down calmly, showing no sign of awkwardness or embarrassment.


    Chi Mu’s gaze shrank imperceptibly in the darkness.


    Amidst his surprise, Mo Shangjie took a quick nce at the man in the corner, noting his unchanged and unfazed demeanor.


    The moment Ye Zhichen sat down, Xiao Yize’s facial expression did shift ever so slightly.


    But the next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he picked up the teapot from the table, poured Ye Zhichen a cup of water, and ced it in front of her.


    Ye Zhichen blinked in surprise, looked up, and found Xiao Yize also turning to look at her.


    His stunningly handsome face bore a faint smile, and the corners of his lips curled into an almost imperceptible arc.


    Ye Zhichen nodded and thanked him softly, “Thank you!”


    Xiao Yize’s dark,cquer-like eyes unhesitatingly fixed on Ye Zhichen’s face, his gaze thickening with yful teasing.


    “As your business partner, it’s only right.”


    The temperature in the room dropped inexplicably, as a chilling air spread from the corner, nearly freezing the atmosphere into ice.


    Su Ran’s brows arched slightly as she took a cup from the table, brought it to her lips, and looked at Ye Zhichen, her fair and delicate face covered with a radiant smile.


    With a shallow grin, her slender eyebrows slightly curved, her voice soft and clear with the natural warmth of a woman, her beautiful eyes seemed to smile as well.


    Isn’t that just perfect?


    Su Ran’s sparkling eyes shone with starlight, and her gaze from the corner of her eyesnded on the man opposite her.


    A pair of dark eyes stared at the direction of Ye Zhichen and Xiao Yize, as an icy chill gradually rose between the eyebrows.


    That expressionless face revealed a severe coldness, and an aura of aristocratic elegance, his eyes narrowing at the woman who chatted andughed opposite him.


    Seemingly aware of someone’s gaze, he turned his vision and met Su Ran’s eyes, paused for a moment, then cast his eyes down.


    After all, how bad could someone be if Zhichen willingly submitted to marriage with him?


    As for the rest…


    Ha!


    They are ignorant of what is good for them!


    She tilted her head back, draining the cup in one gulp.


    Fu Qiyuan noticed her empty cup and was about to refill it when–


    Chu Ling considerately poured another ss of water and pushed it in front of Su Ran.


    Seeing this, Su Ran turned her head and smiled at her.


    Chu Ling’s small face involuntarily blushed, and her demure and shy demeanor caused Fu Qiyuan’s expression to darken slightly.
