Chapter 26: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Ignoring Yan Chen's cold gaze, Yan Xiu was in a good mood, appearing even more refined and gentle, and said with a smile:
"Cousin, my birthday is in a couple of days. I'm planning to have a private get-together with some friends today and I'd like to invite you to join me. I wonder if you would do me the honor?"
Before Yan Chen could speak, he turned to Yun Qing and asked, "Miss Lu, would you like to come along too?"
Yun Qing wanted to refuse, but since it wasn't her part, she wasn't going to join in the fun.
Now that the plot has fallen apart like this, she doesn't want to struggle anymore.
"I have something to do..." so I won't go.
Yan Chen suddenly interrupted her, nodding in agreement, "Okay."
Yun Qing wanted to speak again, "I..."
Yan Chen had already put his arm around her and stood up, saying, "Let's go."
Yun Qing: ...
I want to go home! I'm not going! What if I accidentally make the plot even more chaotic later on?
Assistant Lin: ...
Boss, have you forgotten that you still need to discuss collaborations with others?
Yan Chen glanced at Yun Qing with a cold face, "What? You're not happy with the chance I gave you?"
With outsiders present, Yan Chen didn't explain things too clearly, lest people look down on Yun Qing.
However, Yun Qing understood that the opportunity he was referring to was the opportunity for her to pester him.
Yun Qing: ...Thank you so much!
What could she do? Her established persona was set in stone; she could only seize the opportunity!
Seeing that Yun Qing had behaved herself, Yan Chen glanced at Assistant Lin again.
Assistant Lin immediately understood and arranged for someone else to go.
Yan Xiu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he even got Lu Yunqing as a bonus. This show he's directing should be even more exciting.
After the three of them left the office, Yan Chen released Yun Qing and his attitude towards her became cold.
It wasn't that I particularly disliked her or spoke coldly to her; it was just that I maintained an invisible distance from her.
Having been observing the two closely, Yan Xiu realized that Yan Chen didn't really like Lu Yunqing that much.
Yun Qing, however, paid no attention to these things; she was currently experiencing a severe headache.
What's wrong with Yan Chen? Not only did he not send her away, but he even kissed her? And now he's giving her a chance to cling to him?
Could it be that he likes her? Impossible! He knows perfectly well what a hypocritical, innocent girl she is!
To take revenge on her? That would be too much of a sacrifice. Yan Chen wouldn't be that stupid, would he?
Throughout the journey, Yan Chen didn't say a word, and Yun Qing was also preoccupied with her own worries; the two didn't exchange a single word.
If Yan Xiu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the two of them had just been kissing passionately in the office.
Because of Yan Chen and Yun Qing's behavior, he became even more certain that the two of them had no real feelings for each other and were mostly just using each other for their own benefit.
Even so, he would not let Yan Chen have his way.
Yan Xiu hadn't really intended to celebrate his birthday, so he casually chose a private club as the venue. However, he did invite quite a few people, not only his friends, but also some who knew he would invite Yan Chen.
When there are too many people, it gets chaotic. Besides, this is just a private gathering of young people, so there's no regard for rules. Men and women get together and have a blast, and some people are even singing, making it very noisy.
Yan Chen frowned, clearly not liking the environment.
Yun Qing reached out and tugged at his sleeve. Yan Chen glanced at her, then leaned closer. Only then did Yun Qing say loudly, "Let's go back!"
There's no way to avoid it; you have to shout, or no one will hear you.
Yan Chen pursed his lips unhappily, then pulled her inside to sit down.
Yun Qing: ...Why are you suddenly so rebellious?
Such a gathering would naturally involve alcohol, and everyone started drinking while having fun.
Yun Qing had barely glanced at the pastries on the table when someone came up to toast Yan Chen.
It's no wonder people are so eager; this opportunity is extremely rare. Most of the people here are here because of Yan Chen. Normally, when attending banquets, it's not up to young people like them to get close.
Although Yan Chen isn't very enthusiastic now, he'll still take a sip when someone offers him a toast, which is quite a show of respect.
His attitude has drawn even more people to his side.
Although Yan Xiu had invited them and he knew their purpose in coming, he was still quite displeased to see how lively things were at Yan Chen's place.
Thinking about the good show that was about to unfold, he smiled and called over a waiter to give him a few instructions.
While Yan Chen was dealing with the people who came to offer toasts, someone else walked towards Yun Qing.
At this moment, Yun Qing was looking at the food on the table, hesitating about what to eat. Mainly, she couldn't let her gentle fairy persona collapse, so she couldn't eat too much. Naturally, she had to choose the most delicious food.
Feeling the sudden appearance of another person beside her, she looked up and saw Lu Miaomiao standing next to her with two glasses of wine.
Lu Miaomiao is here too? She hadn't even noticed her.
Yun Qing became even more worried. This gathering had actually brought together the male lead, female lead, male supporting character, and female supporting character. If something happened, it would definitely have a significant impact on the subsequent plot.
She really shouldn't have come.
Lu Miaomiao knew that Yan Xiu was going to invite Yan Chen, but she didn't expect Lu Yunqing to come along.
Seeing Yun Qing sitting next to Yan Chen, she found it extremely offensive and couldn't help but come over.
Lu Miaomiao handed one of the glasses of wine to Yun Qing and said sincerely, "Sister, we had some misunderstandings before and things didn't go very well. It was my fault for being ignorant. I'm offering you this glass as an apology. I hope you won't hold it against me, sister?"
In the story, Lu Yunqing and Lu Miaomiao are always at odds whenever they meet after Yan Chen wakes up.
However, it is usually Lu Yunqing who takes the initiative to cause trouble for Lu Miaomiao.
Because Lu Yunqing felt that Lu Miaomiao had stolen her happiness, and she was determined to take it back, Lu Miaomiao became a thorn in her side.
As a result, there were many plots where the villainous female supporting character would get caught up in the female lead's schemes and get slapped in the face.
Unexpectedly, Lu Miaomiao took the initiative to contact her.
This plot is becoming increasingly worrying.
Now that Lu Miaomiao has said so, as a "gentle and kind older sister," she certainly can't refuse to give her face.
As a seemingly innocent and naive woman, she had no choice but to reluctantly drink the wine, choke on it, and take the opportunity to feign pitifulness in front of Yan Chen, so that Yan Chen could see how aggressive Lu Miaomiao was.
If you drink only a little, you shouldn't get drunk.
Thinking it over, Yun Qing reached out and took the wine glass, looking embarrassed: "I..."
Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Yun Qing turned her head and saw Yan Chen pick up his wine cup, calmly down it in one gulp, and then put the cup back in her hand.
Lu Miaomiao almost crushed the wine glass in her hand when she saw this scene.
The group of people who were about to offer a toast to Yan Chen exchanged bewildered glances.
They did notice Yun Qing sitting next to Yan Chen.
However, although the two sat together, they didn't talk much.
In addition, they knew more or less that the relationship between the two was a bit complicated, and they didn't know what Yan Chen's attitude was towards his former fiancée. They were afraid of accidentally offending Yan Chen, so they simply ignored Yun Qing.
But now it seems that Yan Chen is quite protective of his former fiancée.
