"Ah?" Xia Qingqian uttered "ah" when she heard his words, and seemed to be unable to react.

Then he stammered, "I... I was just... preparing to burn it..."

She didn't dare to tell the truth. For some reason, she subconsciously felt that Ji Fengfan would definitely not be happy if he knew that she only ate snacks for dinner. After all, this person had regular meals and didn't have such a bad habit.

So when she spoke, she lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look Ji Fengfan in the eye.

Ji Fengfan looked at her with a sharp gaze, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since the fever hasn't started yet, take a break today and go out to eat with me."

The car was driving in the busy traffic. Xia Qingqian sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window, her mind still a little confused.

Why did she go out with Ji Fengfan and why did she get in the car?

She didn't even ask him where he was going to eat, who he was eating with, or what he was eating.

I only remember looking up at his face and his sincere tone, nodding slightly as if bewitched, and answering "Okay."

Then I followed him out in a daze.

It was not until the car had been driving out for a while that I realized something was wrong.

He said he would not come back for dinner, so he must have an appointment. He also went home to pick up something in person, so it must be an important appointment.

How could she follow him in such an occasion!

So inappropriate!

"Mr. Ji, why don't I go back..." Looking at the car getting farther and farther away from the apartment, Xia Qingqian spoke while pulling on the seat belt.

Ji Fengfan looked ahead, drove the car seriously, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"......I did not buy any vegetables tonight, but I have noodles at home. It would be nice for me to cook some noodles. Noodles are good for the stomach." Xia Qingqian said softly with her head down.

While thinking silently in my heart, I asked her what was wrong! It's inappropriate for you to go to a social event to discuss things and bring her along for a meal.

Moreover, she didn't like that kind of occasion and was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it and would mess up his business.

The car stopped at the traffic light. Ji Fengfan turned to look at her, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xia Qingqian's cheeks became hot when she saw his gaze. She couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she explained, "If I go with you... it seems like I'm just going there to get a free meal. It's not appropriate..."

The car continued to move forward. Ji Fengfan had already turned his head back. Hearing Xia Qingqian's words, he curled his lips slightly, smiled and asked, "What's inappropriate?"

Xia Qingqian turned around and saw his smiling profile, and her heart started beating like thunder in an instant.

It's really terrible. When that usually stern face smiles gently, who can resist it?

"It's...it's...I'm worried that I'll mess up the cooperation for you, and then...you...you'll suffer a great loss! I can't...can't afford to compensate..." Xia Qingqian listened to her own heartbeat and was so nervous that she couldn't finish her words.

As soon as she finished speaking, the car stopped.

Ji Fengfan unbuckled his seat belt, turned slightly sideways, and turned towards her.

"arrive."

"This... so fast!" Xia Qingqian blurted out subconsciously.

"Well, get out of the car. Don't think too much, don't worry about messing up. It's not a business event, just a gathering of friends." Ji Fengfan explained. Then he opened the car door and got out.

Xia Qingqian hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

Only then did I realize that the car was parked in front of a bar in the city center.

Looking up, I saw a few words of low-key luxury printed on the wall - Night Bar.

There were several waiters standing at the door, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing black suits, white shirts, and white gloves, just like models on the catwalk. Many people lined up at the door to enter. Everyone took out a black gold-stamped card and swiped it to enter. Xia Qingqian felt that she had learned something new. It seemed that not everyone could enter this bar.

After Ji Fengfan got off the car, he walked a few steps forward and stopped. When Xia Qingqian was stunned, she found that he was standing not far away from her, as if he was waiting for her...

She didn't have time to think about it, and trotted after him, the two of them walking towards the door of the bar one after the other. Ji Fengfan had long legs and big steps, but tonight he seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace, just enough for Xia Qingqian to keep a distance of less than half a meter behind him.

Ji Fengfan led Xia Qingqian straight past the long line and walked directly to another door on the side. The waiter at the door should know Ji Fengfan. Xia Qingqian saw him nod at them respectfully, then opened the door for them and invited them in.

Walking into the bar, Xia Qingqian couldn't help but look around. This bar seemed to be different from the bars she had in mind. The decoration was very quiet and luxurious. It looked very low-key, but at the same time, it felt like even an ordinary chair was very expensive.

People who come to the bar seem to be well-educated, and looking around, the waiters are all tall and have good looks.

As a well-behaved girl from a small town, Xia Qingqian's impression of bars was always based on the scenes she saw on TV. Chaotic and luxurious, with people swaying and swaying, drunk people everywhere, deafening music that made people have to shout to talk, and drunk people fighting over a disagreement...

Most of the people inside are hooligans in society. If you are not careful, you may run into some second-rate people and bad things may happen.

So, she never went to a bar.

When filming, she usually doesn't attend the second half of the show which starts after the celebration party. Anyway, she doesn't play a major role or character, so it won't matter if she doesn't attend.

On the night bar stage, someone was singing a quiet song live, and people were dancing in groups of three or four.

Ji Fengfan led her through the bar, directly to the second floor, and then pushed open the largest private room at the back.

Xia Qingqian followed behind Ji Fengfan and saw that there were already six people, four men and two women, sitting in the box. She actually knew all four men. In addition to Mr. Lu, whom she had met in Ji Fengfan's office before, Mr. Tang, the company's big boss, and two other vice presidents, Mr. Qin and Mr. Mo, were all there. She didn't know the other girls, but one of them looked familiar. The two looked about the same age as her, and they were both pretty. At first glance, they were little princesses who had been spoiled and grown up. They should still be students.

Xia Qingqian started to get nervous again the moment she opened the door.

Originally, she was relieved when Ji Fengfan said it was just a gathering of friends.

How could she have imagined that the good friends gathering he was talking about was with several other bosses in the company. Mr. Tang was well-known for his cold-faced deity in the company, and everyone would tremble when they saw him.

Tonight, I saw it up close, and it really made me shudder...

It's too cold...
