Li Yunwan asked Qi Dengxian out with such seriousness that he actually thought Qiao Qiumeng had encountered some trouble again.

“Actually, nothing’s wrong. I just simply wanted to chat with you. Is that not allowed?” Li Yunwan asked.

“Truly boring.” Qi Dengxian thought about it and gave this two-word evaluation.

Li Yunwan was instantly furious. This lady is a great beauty, after all. I actively asked you out, yet you give me no face like this?

Li Yunwan, around 1.7 meters tall, although perhaps not at the level of ‘shaming flowers and sinking fish,’ was absolutely a beautiful girl with both temperament and looks. Qi Dengxian’s straight-as-steel performance made her disdainful!

After saying this, Qi Dengxian prepared to go back. Li Yunwan got anxious directly.

“Hey, what do you mean? You look down on me, right?” Li Yunwan grabbed him and shoved him straight into her car.

“I’m very busy,” Qi Dengxian said indifferently.

“I want to talk to you about Zhang Shaojie!” Li Yunwan said bluntly.

Qi Dengxian frowned but let Li Yunwan stuff him into her BMW. Then, she drove straight to a bar.

This bar wasn’t very big, but it followed a high-end route, you could buy any alcohol here.

After finding a booth and sitting down, Li Yunwan familiarly ordered a few bottles of foreign liquor, then said, “You solved the Qiao Corporation’s loan issue, didn’t you?”

Qi Dengxian nodded slightly but didn’t speak.

Li Yunwan frowned. “You do good deeds without leaving a name? Are you an idiot?”

Qi Dengxian said, “Uncle Qiao’s kindness to me is heavy as a mountain. Helping the Qiao family and Qiumeng with a small matter is insignificant.”

Li Yunwan grinned, pointing at Qi Dengxian’s nose. “I think you and Mengmeng are destined to have no fate. Doing this is equivalent to pushing her into Zhang Shaojie’s arms!”

“Fate gathers, fate scatters, fate is like water. Whether there is fate or not, there’s nothing to agonize over.” Qi Dengxian’s attitude was indifferent. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a slow sip.

Li Yunwan was certain Qi Dengxian was a man of steel-straightness. She shook her head helplessly and said, “The credit for helping the Qiao Corporation get the loan has all been attributed to Zhang Shaojie.”

“Today, Mengmeng even personally called Zhang Shaojie to express her gratitude.”

“If this continues, I think the top of your head is going to turn green!”

Hearing this, Qi Dengxian frowned fiercely. Why does every good deed I do end up linked to that pile of stinking dog shit, Zhang Shaojie?

He didn’t mind helping the Qiao family silently, but having his credit stolen by someone else was disgusting.

Qi Dengxian’s mood at this moment was somewhat terrible. If he were in prison, it would be fine, he could just grab two mischievous prisoners, deal with them, and his anger would dissipate like smoke.

But now, this fire had nowhere to vent.

“I actually mentioned to Mengmeng that it might be you who did it, but she didn’t believe me. You helped me avoid the Zhang Group’s landmine, yet I couldn’t repay you. It’s truly regrettable.” Li Yunwan spread her hands and raised her glass to drink with Qi Dengxian.

As she said this, she felt somewhat guilty and slightly apologetic in her heart.

At this moment, Long Yanan, who was drinking on the second floor, saw the familiar figure in the booth downstairs, and her eyebrows raised slightly.

“I didn’t expect this fellow to have no ability, yet still be a scumbag?” Long Yanan sneered, extremely disdainful.

Xu Aoxue, sitting opposite Long Yanan, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Long Yanan pointed at Qi Dengxian sitting downstairs and said, “See that? That’s Miss’s former fiancé, Qi Dengxian.”

Xu Aoxue polished her eyes and looked. “He is Qi Dengxian? Doesn’t feel like there’s anything special about him. He doesn’t deserve Xiaolong.”

Long Yanan shook her head. Qi Dengxian had no ability, but his temper wasn’t small. She was too lazy to talk about him anymore.

Qi Dengxian was unaware that someone upstairs had noticed him. He raised his glass, drank with Li Yunwan, and sincerely thanked her.

Regardless of Li Yunwan’s purpose in approaching him, since she had spoken up for him in front of Qiao Qiumeng, she deserved thanks.

“Hm? Yunwan, why are you drinking with this trash?” A voice came over. It was Young Master Wu from the sports club that day.

Qi Dengxian was too lazy to pay attention to such noise. He sipped his wine slowly, not even giving the other party a direct look.

Li Yunwan smiled and said, “Young Master Wu, Sir Qi is actually quite a nice person, don’t talk nonsense. So, want to drink a glass together?”

Young Master Wu sneered, shaking his head. “You aren’t afraid of lowering your status sitting with this kind of person? I don’t want to drink with trash like this! Otherwise, the person drinking with me right now might feel unhappy.”

At this moment, an enchanting young woman in a red dress walked up. Wearing bright red lipstick, her entire aura appeared very extroverted.

“Sister Jing is here!”

Seeing this woman, Young Master Wu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly greeted her respectfully.

“Hello, Sister Jing!”

Li Yunwan also stood up, her face full of smiles, greeting her just as earnestly.

Consequently, the extremely reluctant Qi Dengxian was also pulled up by her.

Sister Jing was the owner of this bar. She nodded slightly and said, “Have fun, everyone!”

Wherever this Sister Jing passed, almost all the guests in the bar would stand up to toast her.

No matter how noble the other party’s status, Sister Jing would only take a shallow sip from her glass as a token gesture. Yet, unexpectedly, not a single person felt dissatisfied.

After making a round of greetings, Sister Jing left the hall, going who knew where.

“Why is Sister Jing in the bar today? She’s usually like a divine dragon—one sees the head but not the tail.” Young Master Wu’s tone weakened considerably, clearly holding quite a bit of awe for this Sister Jing.

“I don’t know either. But I didn’t expect to have the chance to greet Sister Jing!” Li Yunwan’s tone was also somewhat excited.

Young Master Wu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glared viciously at Qi Dengxian, and said, “Bumpkin, don’t look down on this bar just because it’s small, it’s protected by powerful people! Since you’re drinking here, drink honestly. Don’t cause trouble or make any jokes. Otherwise, even the King of Heaven can’t save you!”

“Sir Qi isn’t the type to cause trouble randomly. Young Master Wu, you should go accompany your friend. We’ll leave after a couple of drinks.” Li Yunwan waved her hand and said.

Young Master Wu pointed at Qi Dengxian and said, “Also, Qiao Qiumeng is not someone you can climb up to. Give up on that idea early! Today I’m giving Yunwan face, otherwise, I’d make you lie on the street like a dead dog for the night.”

Qi Dengxian looked at Young Master Wu lazily, thinking that if this kid dared to point his finger at him again, he’d make his head have a few intimate encounters with the table.

However, Young Master Wu’s luck was decent. After pointing at Qi Dengxian, he turned and went straight upstairs…

Qi Dengxian stood up and said to Li Yunwan, “Taking a leak.”

“You aren’t planning to use the ‘urine escape’ to run away, right? Don’t worry, I’m paying for this!” Li Yunwan said.

Qi Dengxian couldn’t help turning around, pointing at his own nose, and asking seriously, “Do I really look like a bumpkin? Like a poor ghost?”

“Damn it, in our prison, there’s a financial oligarch who specializes in monopolies in the Snow Country. He cries and shouts all day trying to stuff checks worth hundreds of millions into my hands!”

Hearing this, Li Yunwan couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Pfft!

“I’m fucking serious!” Qi Dengxian’s face darkened slightly.

“Mm, I believe you!” Li Yunwan said solemnly immediately.

Qi Dengxian nodded in satisfaction. Once he walked into the restroom, Li Yunwan finally couldn’t hold back and laughed loudly.

“How could a bumpkin like this know people like Huang Wenlang and Wang Wanjin? Truly strange…”

Li Yunwan realized that Qi Dengxian was definitely a big shot with huge background and energy, but he also seemed to truly be a bumpkin who hadn’t seen much of the world…
