Chapter 234 Playing with Friends
Xu Xinyi flung open the car door, her steps unconcealed with heaviness as she slowly stepped into the luxurious villa. Xu Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward with a concerned look in his eyes.
Xu Xinyi's lips were almost bleeding from her unconscious biting. Her voice was low and hoarse: "He... told me that he couldn't control... business affairs."
Xu Ji's expression changed slightly, and his eyes moved across Xu Xinyi's exhausted face: "Did you go out with him?" Xu Xinyi naturally understood the deep meaning implied in his words.
She avoided Xu Ji's gaze with a slightly embarrassed look: "What else can I do? Didn't you beg me to turn the tide and save the Xu family from this dire situation?"
Xu Ji knew he was in the wrong, so his voice softened. "Did he ever mention cooperation with you before?"
Xu Xinyi felt bitter in her heart, and she didn't want to continue this topic that would damage her dignity.
"What difference does it make to me whether I say it or not? I have no choice at all."
Before she finished her words, she turned around and walked towards the upstairs, leaving behind only a resolute back.
Xu Xinyi's mood was shrouded in gloom, while on the other side, Ye Wanqing was basking in the bright sunshine, enjoying a rare relaxation and pleasure.
The afterglow of dinner had not yet faded, and everyone should have dispersed and returned to their own lives. However, Qin Huai suddenly suggested, "Ah Xuan, it's still early today, why don't we go to the club to relax?"
Unlike Chen Anhe, they are not addicted to brothels. Qin Huai and Lin Xuan prefer to get together, play mahjong and enjoy their rare leisure time.
After all, daily life is busy enough, so where is the energy to chase after those illusory romances?
Moreover, those who were able to grow up with Lin Xuan are more or less self-sufficient and self-disciplined.
They are not people of high moral standards, but they feel that instead of indulging in sensual pleasures, it is better to relax with their brothers and occasionally exchange information about each other's life.
After two or three hours, everyone went home to rest and greet the new day. Therefore, it was a rare occasion for the four of them to be together like today, especially for Lin Xuan.
Before this, they hadn't gone out together for a long time, several months.
Qin Huai thought to himself, since Ye Wanqing is here and Lin Xuan is in love, he might as well take this opportunity to propose this suggestion, and maybe it will come true.
Lin Xuan didn't even turn his head and directly refused: "No."
Qin Huai turned to look at Ye Wanqing, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Wanqing, do you like playing mahjong?"
Ye Wanqing glanced at Qin Huai with a half-smile, and instantly understood his thoughts. She smiled and replied, "Well, I'm not very good at it."
"That's perfect. It's still early today. Let's go play a few games together and let Axuan teach you well." Qin Huai said unwillingly.
Lin Xuan glanced at Qin Huai with a warning in his tone: "Stop messing around."
However, Qin Huai did not give up: "Your girlfriend didn't refuse!"
The three words "girlfriend" were like a spring breeze blowing through Lin Xuan's heart, making him feel happy instantly. He looked down at Ye Wanqing and asked gently, "Do you want to go?"
Ye Wanqing never forces herself to do things she doesn't like, and Lin Xuan knows her character very well, so he is not worried that she will reluctantly agree because she is embarrassed.
Ye Wanqing glanced at Qin Huai lightly. Qin Huai caught her gaze and said immediately, "Qin Zhuyu doesn't know that you and Lin Xuan are together yet, right?"
Ye Wanqing sneered softly: "Is Mr. Qin openly putting pressure on me?"
How could Qin Huai dare to put pressure on Ye Wanqing? He just mentioned it "in passing".
Ye Wanqing's words had just fallen, and before Lin Xuan could speak, Qin Huai had already admitted defeat: "Don't get me wrong, Miss Ye, I just asked casually, so that I wouldn't accidentally let it slip in front of Qin Zhuyu later."
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Has it been a long time since Young Master Qin played mahjong?"
"It's indeed been several months, but that's not the point. The point is, I want to win back the sports car that I lost to him last time." Qin Huai made no secret of his ambition.
Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan, her eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Aren't you afraid of losing another one?"
"I'm lucky today." Lin Xuan said confidently.
Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone teasing: "It's been a while since you two got together, right? Why don't you go have some fun?"
"Okay." Lin Xuan had originally planned to take Ye Wanqing for a walk by the river, enjoying their own world. However, Qin Huai insisted on dragging Ye Wanqing to play mahjong. Since Ye Wanqing was interested, he had no choice but to agree.
After Qin Huai got Ye Wanqing's consent, he immediately ran towards his car excitedly, waving as he ran: "See you at the old place!"
Li Chenfeng had already been sitting leisurely in the car. They would not be as ignorant of the current situation as Qin Huai.
Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing's relationship has just been confirmed. They were not fortunate enough to go to the golf game together this afternoon. It was a great honor for them to have dinner together. Qin Huai actually wanted to take it a step further.
It’s Qin Huai’s business if he wants to humiliate himself, but they don’t want to be embarrassed along with him.
Therefore, he sat in the car early and waited patiently for Qin Huai's arrival. When he saw Qin Huai returning with a happy face, Li Chenfeng couldn't help but sigh: "Did she really agree?"
Qin Huai smiled smugly and said, "Of course, don't you see who I am?"
Li Chenfeng couldn't stand Qin Huai's smug look and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Of course. You're in your thirties and still single. It's understandable that you don't understand romance. What else can we expect you to understand?"
Qin Huai feigned anger and glared at Li Chenfeng: "What are you talking about? I'm focused on my career and busy making money! If you don't know how to talk, just say less and don't say anything unpleasant!"
After saying that, Qin Huai got in the car and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let Xuan get there first, otherwise he'll have another excuse to leave!"
As he spoke, Qin Huai stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away in an instant.
Not long after, they arrived at the Huanyan Club. The private room was the one they often went to, familiar and warm.
The box is spacious and bright, without any smell of smoke, and the balcony is also extremely spacious. After each party, the exclusive box butler will carefully open the windows for ventilation all night.
Therefore, when Ye Wanqing followed Lin Xuan into the box, the air here was still fresh.
Inside the private room was a small, exquisite wine cabinet filled with a wide variety of fine wines. Ye Wanqing gently opened the door, and a cool breeze mixed with the rich aroma of wine instantly hit her face.
"Would you like something to drink?" Lin Xuan looked at her gently, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently: "No, I can't drink much. I'll easily make a fool of myself if I'm drunk."
Lin Xuan seemed to remember something, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Qin Huai's shout: "Alright, alright, let's get started!"
Ye Wanqing closed the door of the wine cabinet and said with a smile, "Let's go over there."
The private room was extremely spacious, with a mahjong table set in the center of the living room. When the two of them walked out, Qin Huai and the others had already chosen their seats and sat down.
"I've reserved the best seats for you!" Qin Huai greeted them warmly.
Lin Xuan pulled out a chair and motioned Ye Wanqing to sit down: "Come, sit here."
Ye Wanqing hesitated: "I really don't know how to play."
Lin Xuan chuckled, his tone filled with a hint of doting: "It's okay, just playing around. If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, it's all yours."
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing couldn't refuse any more: "Okay then."
To refuse again would seem too hypocritical, and Ye Wanqing has never been that kind of person.
As newbies, Qin Huai and the others consciously let Ye Wanqing roll the dice first. They said it was to give the newbie a better gaming experience, but in reality it was a form of care and protection for her.
