NOVPUBChen Nan’s face turned red. He didn’t expect Lin Xi to notice his physiological reaction. Clearing his throat, he endured the embarrassment and said, "With so many girls in the dance floor, any man who sees them would not remain indifferent."
"Though I study Daoist Skill, I don’t need to abstain from the beauty of women."
Lin Xi’s face wore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: "But just now, you weren’t looking at the girls in the dance floor, you were staring non-stop at my chest." Saying this, she even threw a coquettish glance at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan was so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
They say it’s better to understand without pointing things out, to continue being friends.
Have you considered my feelings when you do this?
Lin Xi’s voice rose again, her lively beautiful eyes sparkling with expectation, "Daoist Chen, are my breasts bigger than Jiang Yan’s and Liu Yiyi’s?"
Chen Nan swallowed hard, asking doubtfully, "Why do you want to compare with them?"
"I never thought about comparing with anyone. But when the three of us were dubbed the ’Three Golden Flowers of Jizhou,’ invisible competition began among us."
"It’s like an invisible hand pushed all three of us to the same starting line," Lin Xi shrugged her fragrant shoulders, her face revealing a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
She didn’t want to compare with anyone, but she was also a woman with a strong competitive spirit!
Because Lin Xi shrugged her shoulders, the pair of delicate white breasts in front of her also shook violently, nearly making Chen Nan’s eyeballs pop out.
He was really looking forward to it...
Oh no!
He was really worried that the strap vest couldn’t restrain Lin Xi’s delicate white breasts, and they would just pop out...
Fortunately, Lin Xi didn’t notice Chen Nan’s gaze. She picked up a glass of wine, downed it in one go, and a trace of resignation appeared in her beautiful eyes: "Life is not as wonderful as we imagine it to be."
"Invisibly, there’s a lot of pressure, and external factors affecting our lives!"
Chen Nan hesitated, then couldn’t help saying, "You’re so young, don’t be so melancholic. In life, even if some things don’t go as desired, one should still be positive and optimistic."
Suddenly, Lin Xi asked, "Could you suddenly accept it if there emerged a brother who has no blood relation to you, disrupts your normal life, and is capricious and absurd?"
"Uh..."
Chen Nan was at a loss for words, he didn’t expect Lin Xi to say something like that.
He felt a sense of empathy.
Her situation seemed to be not much different from his own.
He started cultivating in the mountains two years ago because he couldn’t accept the sudden appearance of a stepmother.
He felt that she was sharing his father’s love for him.
He also felt that her appearance had impacted his own life.
"Come on, let’s drink!" Chen Nan picked up his glass, clinked it with Lin Xi’s, and then downed it in one go.
Lin Xi also tilted her head back and emptied her beer in one gulp. Setting down the glass, she suddenly said, "Actually, you’re a lot more timid than I thought."
"What?"
Chen Nan was puzzled. Where had he been timid?
Before he could speak,
the door to the private room was suddenly kicked open.
The unexpected scene scared Lin Xi so much that her face turned pale; subconsciously, she wrapped her arms around Chen Nan’s arm, her eyes also revealing unmistakable panic and unease.
She recognized the newcomer as the guy who had been causing trouble for her in the dance floor, and whom Chen Nan had reprimanded.
However,
she didn’t expect him to come back with company.
This stirred intense fear in her heart.
"Brother Wu, this was the guy who hit me earlier!" Zhang Qu entered the booth with a bunch of people, pointed at Chen Nan furiously, as if wishing he could tear him into pieces.
The middle-aged man whom Zhang Qu had called "Fifth Brother" looked to be in his thirties, standing six feet tall with a hulking build, sporting a bald head and two large tattooed arms, emanating an exceedingly ferocious aura.
He sized up Chen Nan from head to toe and huffed heavily, "Brother, who do you roll with? Don’t you know Zhang Qu is my little brother? By hitting me, Yang Wei, in front of everyone, how am I supposed to get by in the underworld?"
Chen Nan elegantly crossed his legs, a playful smile appearing on his face, "And who do you roll with?"
Before Yang Wei could respond, Zhang Qu bellowed in anger, "Fuck your mother, who the hell do you think you are to ask who Fifth Brother rolls with?"
At that moment, Yang Wei perfectly illustrated what it meant to ’bully under someone’s patronage.’
Previously, when Chen Nan had slapped him, he hadn’t even dared to breathe heavily, running away with three companions like a beaten dog.
But now.
he was acting extremely arrogant and aggressive.
A cold light flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes, "I smacked you before because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut, with too many ’mum’s in your words. It seems you haven’t learned your lesson at all!"
Feeling that icy stare from Chen Nan, Zhang Qu instantly felt a numbing tingling on his scalp and a chill down his spine, as if the man before him had transformed into a ferocious beast.
Just one look was enough to terrify him to the core.
He instinctively shut his mouth and took two steps back, not daring to make eye contact with Chen Nan.
Even though his boss was right beside him.
He didn’t dare to take a deep breath.
"Fuck!"
Yang Wei shouted in anger, "Zhang Qu is my little brother, what right do you have to reprimand him in front of me? Are you showing me no respect at all?"
Chen Nan did not bother with him at all, sitting elegantly on the couch with his legs crossed.
Meanwhile, he dialed Zhou Long’s number, and put it on speakerphone, "Brother Long, I’m at Red Heart A in the north of the city, and there are a few guys looking to trouble me. The one leading them is called Yang Wei. Is he one of your underlings?"
Hearing Chen Nan call out for "Brother Long" and seeing his calm demeanor.
Yang Wei couldn’t help but frown, feeling an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
He wasn’t sure if the "Brother Long" mentioned by Chen Nan was the same notorious and fearsome mob boss in the underworld.
But if it indeed was him.
It looked like today’s affair would be tough to settle.
Just then.
Zhou Long’s voice came through on the phone, "Mr. Chen, I don’t have anyone named Yang Wei under me, but one of my guys has an underling by that name. He’s also in the north of the city."
"Maybe you should ask if his boss is called ’Cripple’?"
Chen Nan said nothing because his phone was already on speaker, and as Zhou Long’s voice was heard, everyone led by Yang Wei showed a terrified look.
Without exception.
All of them turned pale and began to tremble with fear.
Because they recognized the voice of Zhou Long, a figure of legendary fame on the streets, someone who instilled fear merely by being mentioned.
This left them stupefied!
They had no idea Chen Nan was acquainted with such a big shot in the underworld.
Of course.
That wasn’t the most important part.
The main thing was that, even someone as significant as Zhou Long was addressing Chen Nan as ’Mister’···
Even though it was just a title.
It was clear to see, Chen Nan was not just anybody!
