Chapter 1237 - 1171: Thank You for Letting Me Dream
A single song actually doesn’t take that long, just a few minutes. The music stopped, and the two people who had been dancing hotly finally came to a halt as well.
A burst of applause suddenly sounded. Yao Ziwan’s eyes trembled slightly, and only then did she open them.
She lifted her head to look at Liao Qinghe, a bit embarrassed. She hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "...I didn’t dance well, Mr. Liao, please don’t laugh at me!"
Liao Qinghe merely arched his brows slightly and said, "No, Secretary Yao, you danced very well... Mm, looks like you’re very deeply in love with that person."
Yao Ziwan’s gaze flickered. She said, "It’s because you led well, Mr. Liao. I... made a fool of myself."
Liao Qinghe laughed. "Secretary Yao, don’t be modest. As expected, there are talented people everywhere around Mr. Song. It really makes one jealous."
Song Yansheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Yichi felt that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right, so he quickly cleared his throat lightly and said, "Mr. Liao and Secretary Yao both danced very well, there’s no need for either of you to be modest... But the dance is over and we still haven’t finished our drinks. Mr. Liao, for that dance just now, and also for the cooperation between us, let me drink a toast to you..."
Liao Qinghe smiled and said, "You’re too polite, Mr. Qiao. I’ll be here for quite some time, and I’ll be relying on Mr. Song and Mr. Qiao for a lot of things in T City, especially Mr. Song. After all, I might be staying at Song Mansion for a while. By rights, this glass should be my toast to you two."
Shi Nuan froze for a moment when she heard this. So the "troublesome person" Song Yansheng had mentioned was Liao Qinghe.
The one who was going to stay at Song Mansion for a few days was also Liao Qinghe.
It was truly unbelievable.
Shi Nuan had always felt that Song Yansheng was very territorial. Unless they were very close friends, it was really hard to get the chance to stay at Song Mansion.
For example, he’d so easily had Song Qingyang’s rose moved away.
But now he was actually letting Liao Qinghe move in.
Song Yansheng and Liao Qinghe shouldn’t be familiar with each other. Doing this should be for Wen Biyue.
It seemed his relationship with Wen Biyue was indeed far from ordinary.
Over there, Liao Qinghe walked to the dining table, picked up the red wine and poured himself a glass. He lifted it slightly toward Song Yansheng and Qiao Yichi, then tipped his head back and drank it down.
At a time like this, Qiao Yichi and Song Yansheng naturally couldn’t refuse to show respect. The two of them quickly drank a glass in return.
A cell phone rang. The call was for Qu Yuzuo, who was sitting beside Chi Rui.
He didn’t answer it. Instead he stood up directly and said, "Everyone, excuse me. Something’s come up and I’m afraid I’ll have to leave first..."
After he finished, his gaze shifted to Liao Qinghe. His thin lips moved slightly as he said, "Mr. Liao, if there’s a chance another day, let’s have a drink together."
Liao Qinghe’s lips hooked in a smile. "Definitely!"
After that, Qu Yuzuo didn’t say anything more. He gave the group a slight nod, then turned and left.
By now, Yao Ziwan’s emotions had calmed a little. She said, "Mr. Liao, let me drink a toast to you. Thank you... thank you for letting me have a dream."
Liao Qinghe laughed heartily. "How could I refuse when a beauty toasts me? To weave a dream for a beauty is my honor!"
The two of them clinked glasses and drank again.
No one noticed that the man who had already reached the doorway had, at that moment, paused in his steps for a brief instant.
...
That same night, Shen Zui received a call from Ji Xiangling and went to a KTV private room.
And by coincidence, this was exactly the place where, three months ago when he returned, he’d first seen Shi Nuan again.
He was unfamiliar with this place, but because it was connected to Shi Nuan, it felt deeply imprinted on him.
After all, this had been their first encounter after he’d been away for nearly four years.
He switched rooms and went to the same private room Shi Nuan and the others had once used. In truth, every private room was more or less the same, with no real difference.
Yet in his eyes, it was different.
He thought he must really be obsessed; otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting like this.
These days, he had kept himself very busy. The company planned to package him in multiple ways and push him into the entertainment industry.
He wasn’t interested. He only wanted to sing. His agent, Suozhi, had spent quite a while wearing him down over it.
In the end, he agreed because Suozhi said, "In today’s world, everything is about disguise. You’re too genuine, that’s why people can see through you so easily, and that’s why you lost your ex-girlfriend..."
He told Shen Zui, "You need to learn how to disguise yourself."
Shen Zui thought that Song Yansheng was a businessman. How many businessmen aren’t hypocritical?
Almost none. Maybe it was precisely because he’d always shown just how much he cared about Shi Nuan that she treated him the way she did.
Song Yansheng was indeed a man with charm. No matter how charming or capable he was, though, his identity was still Xiao Chuan’s Second Uncle.
Shen Zui was not unaware of how much Shi Nuan cared about Xiao Chuan.
