My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1385: A Man with a 10-Point Silhouette

“The man in the ash-gray suit inside, I want his phone number. No problem, right?”

“Ash-gray suit? Hmm. Got it.” Rong Yan picked up her purse and phone and stood up confidently, turning back with a smile on her red lips, “It’s no use complaining, a loss is a loss, I’m willing to accept it!”

She strutted across toward the dance floor in her Doc Martens…

As soon as Rong Yan left, Jiang Zixuan’s face turned sour, unhappily snapping at the cheering crowd, “What are you doing! Why propose such a punishment? The girl clearly fancies Gu Zekai, aren’t you just stirring trouble on purpose? Don’t tell me you’re causing a scene because she didn’t fancy you and you’re feeling sore.”

Chen Anchen’s guilty conscience was piqued, revealing an irritated and embarrassed expression, retorting unhappily, “I was just playing a game, I didn’t force her, I said finishing the drink would do too. If she herself wants to accept the bet and go get the number, how is that my responsibility? You didn’t say we couldn’t play this game at the start, but now you’re dumping all the blame on me. Is that reasonable?”

“I can’t be bothered talking to you!”

Gu Zekai was also annoyed but didn’t show it too openly, pulling apart the two quarrelers and trying to mediate, “Enough, it’s just a game. She’ll come back after getting the number; if she sees you two like this, she’ll think something’s wrong with us three. Let’s stop playing after this, it’s about time we headed back.”

Chen Anchen pouted, somewhat reluctantly but aware that it was about time; now that the girl had taken the bait, according to the usual practice, it was time to ‘escort her back’.

As to where she would be escorted, that was up to Gu Zekai.

…

The squabble started after Rong Yan had left, so she was completely oblivious to it.

She gave Estelle, who was observing her from not far away, an inconspicuous ‘all-set’ hand signal, casually walking towards the direction of the private booth…

There were probably eight or nine men sitting in the booth, of varied ages, chatting jovially with each other, and a few fashionably dressed young women sat beside them for company.

These young women were stunning, dressed in trendy but not revealing clothes, and looked even more impressive as a whole than many internet celebrities on the stage. Being able to bring in entire groups of beauties rating seven out of ten for company, it was clear these men were of no ordinary status.

Rong Yan didn’t want to waste time, hoping to get the phone number quickly and then find an opportunity to naturally make her escape.

Her gaze swept through the crowd, finally spotting a figure with his back to her wearing a jacket of ash-gray.

The man showed only his back, yet stood out remarkably among a crowd of laughing people. The dim yellow light fell on his shoulders, casting a black and white silhouette so striking, she was momentarily distracted…

…

Inside the booth, the group of men had let loose, all having restrained themselves during dinner, not exhibiting any behaviour that was too revealing, but now at the nightclub under the cover of lights and music, their true colors were shown. Even Cai Wen had a girl pushed next to him; all the female guests were top-tier beauties brought by the executives of Hongsheng International Company, each one attractive and sweet-talking, very skilled in setting the mood.

Only Li Shengxiao sat without anyone by his side, looking utterly out of place!

His slender, jade-like hand picked up a glass of water, took a light sip with an indifferent expression, and set it down again; in the midst of the noise, an aura of aloofness naturally formed around him, deterring any girl from daring to approach.
