Shen Rao was finally forced to agree by Gu Qingfan.

Seeing that he had succeeded, he patted his butt, stood up from the ground, and coughed twice to cover up.

"Then it's a deal, I'll go with you after get off work."

"Get out of here."

Shen Rao drove them away in a cold voice.

"Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going."

Gu Qing was in a good mood. He tidied up his clothes that were wrinkled from rolling around, and left happily.

After he left, the office returned to silence.

From beginning to end, Qi Yan kept his head down, rubbing his palms slowly.

The sofa beside me sank, and the refreshing scent of shower gel lingered over me, strong and aggressive.

Qi Yan didn't even move his eyelids, just stared at the patterns on the carpet in silence.

Shen Rao withdrew his gaze from her hand.

After a long silence, he asked a strange question.

"Are you going to attend Mr. Han's funeral?"

Even though the Han family is in danger now, the funeral of Han Tanglin, who has been a powerful figure in both worlds for many years, will definitely be held.

Even if the current Shen family attends Mr. Han's funeral, it would undoubtedly be a provocation.

Even though he didn't know what the relationship between Han Tanglin and Qi Yan was.

But he asked anyway.

Because Qi Yan was in a wrong mood.

She glanced at him with her clear eyes, which were still indifferent, and uttered a word after a long time.

"go."

……

That night.

Amid the hustle and bustle, the snow on the roads was thoroughly cleared, and the thick snow on both sides was a unique sight.

The car stopped, and in front of us was an elegant and low-key pavilion. On the door hung a wooden plaque with gold patterns, on which were three large characters "Xingyue Pavilion" written in a vigorous and powerful manner.

Xingyue Pavilion is a famous hotel in the imperial capital. It is said that one can see the mountains, stars and the moon from the top floor.

The two had just gotten out of the car.

Gu Qing appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a formal suit, looking very serious, with slicked-back hair and powdered face, and a nervous look on his face.

"Brother Rao, what do you think of my outfit?"

Shen Rao glanced at him casually, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"He looks quite decent."

"..."

Gu Qingbai took one look at him and knew that he couldn't say anything good.

Turning his eyes to the side, Qi Yan, who was swiping his phone with one hand in his pocket, was hesitant and didn't say anything.

Qi Yan noticed his gaze and looked up to meet his gaze.

Then he lowered his head and continued looking at his phone perfunctorily.

"pretty good."

"..."

These two people made Gu Qing start to feel unconfident as soon as he reached the door.

I even wanted to go back and change my clothes.

But Shen Rao ignored him and walked inside.

Gu Qing had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow.

Never mind that!

Top box.

This is the place with the best view in Xingyue Pavilion. You can barely see the mountains among the tall buildings, a few scattered stars, and a fairly bright full moon.

When Shen Rao and the others came in, everyone who should have come was already there.

The protagonist of today is sitting in the main seat.

One of the most wealthy people in the capital, the daughter of the Song Group - Song Yaxu

She is different from the young men and women of wealthy families who are raised in upper-class circles. She can be said to be the most "rebellious" one among the top wealthy families in the imperial capital.

She was dressed casually and ordinarily, her skin was a healthy wheat color, her facial features were bright, and when she smiled, her white upper teeth were exposed, she looked warm and pure.

When Song Yaxu saw Shen Rao coming in, she immediately stood up to greet him.

"Brother Shen, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Ya-chun."

Shen Rao's expression was not so cold anymore, and there was a relaxation between his brows, as if he was meeting an old friend.

Song Yaxu was just about to say hello when he saw Qi Yan behind him and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The look in Shen Rao's eyes also changed, and he gossiped in a low voice.

"Brother Shen, I didn't expect such a beautiful lady!"

Shen Rao looked at Qi Yan who was standing aside with a calm demeanor, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to introduce her for a moment.

My ex-girlfriend is now my bodyguard?

It's weird no matter how you look at it.

In the end he just introduced the name.

"This is Qi Yan."

When Song Yaxu heard the name, she felt it sounded familiar.

Suddenly, he reacted, and under Shen Rao's confirming gaze, he couldn't help but look at Qi Yan a few more times.

In their circle, almost everyone knew that Shen Rao's ex-girlfriend had disappeared without a word.

I have heard a little about her, as she has been living abroad.

After shaking hands and saying hello to Qi Yan, he wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and finally gave up the gossip.

After the two of them sat down.

Song Yaxu acted as if she didn't see Gu Qing and asked the waiter to serve the food.

Gu Qing's face turned dark.

Only Gu Shengge felt sorry for her poor second brother and let him sit next to her.

After sitting down, Song Yaxu still ignored him and had a pleasant conversation with Shen Rao who was sitting on her right.

Gu Qing could only stare at her and drink gulp after gulp.

Seeing this, Gu Shengge felt helpless and reached out to pick up some food for him.

"Brother, don't just drink, eat more food."

The taste of the food in Xingyue Pavilion is still impeccable.

"Don't worry about me, just eat your food."

However, Gu Qing did not appreciate it.

Gu Shengge knew that he was in a bad mood, so she had to leave him alone.

On the opposite side, Shen Rao was peeling shrimps wearing disposable gloves, and his slender and beautiful fingers moved skillfully.

While putting the shrimp meat on the plate, I listened to Song Yaxu's complaints.

"Brother Shen, why did you bring him here?"

It is self-evident who this 'he' is.

"He's making a fuss about coming."

Shen Rao sold Gu Qing without changing his expression.

Song Yaxu curled her lips, took a bite of the food, and said dissatisfiedly.

"It was him who said he wanted to break up and blocked me at the time, and now he's doing this again."

She was referring to Gu Qing, who was now staring at her and drinking alone.

"It's better to die with dignity than to live in suffering."

Shen Rao chuckled, peeled most of a plate of boiled shrimps, took off his gloves, and placed it in front of Qi Yan quite naturally.

He performed the movements smoothly and effortlessly without even looking at her.

Qi Yan looked at the peeled shrimp in front of him, then looked at Shen Rao's indifferent profile, and moved his chopsticks silently.

Song Yaxu was so stunned that she even forgot to chew the food in her mouth.

She was acutely aware of the passage of time.

More than four years ago.

The arrogant Prince Shen is very different from the Shen Rao who is helping people peel shrimps now.

Suddenly I felt melancholy.

Everyone changes in four years.

But she quickly got rid of this emotion. The daughter of the Song family was frank and free by nature and would never be bound by anything.

She quickly thought of other topics and put Gu Qing out of her mind.

"Brother Shen, I have always been grateful to you. Without your support back then, it would not have been so easy for me to do what I wanted to do."

Song Yaxu choked up when she said these words.

Back then, she wanted to go to East Africa to work on wildlife conservation, but her family, friends and lover didn't understand her.

It was Shen Rao, who had just gotten off the racing track, who told her that if she wanted to do something, she should do it with all her might and not leave any regrets.

They already have more choices than the average person.

If you still shrink back, your life will be too frustrating.

After hearing this, Song Yaxu made up her mind and joined the Wildlife Conservation Association despite her family's opposition.

The years in East Africa were hard and tiring at first, completely different from what she had imagined, but she never thought of giving up.

Only after persisting until now and achieving some results did she have the confidence to return home and see her family and friends.
