Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Tan Yao’s pupils shrank. “He knows? That shouldn’t be possible…”

In the dispute over the bracelet and the face-off with Lushen to win favor with the Yan family, throughout the entire process, they had gone with the flow, never actively provoking. On the contrary, whether it was the theft of the “Ares Tears” or the brawl in the Mingda office, it was all instigated by Lushen.

It shouldn’t lead to suspicion falling on them.

Moreover, that Young Seventh Lord didn’t seem to have a very sharp mind…

Shen Qian flicked away some cigarette ash and glanced into the distance, “Just because you think Lushen is foolish, doesn’t mean others are too.”

“But besides Lushen and us, who else knows about the bracelet…”

Wait a minute! Tan Yao suddenly remembered someone—

But that wasn’t realistic at all!

He had seen Shen Wan before. Although she was quick-witted, she was still young and inexperienced. How could she possibly figure out the intricacies behind this matter?

Shen Qian glanced at him and asked, “Afraid to say it, or simply don’t believe it?”

When Tan Yao heard his question, his heart sank, and he swallowed hard before finally finding his voice, “Is it… really her?”

Shen Qian let out a soft sigh as if whispering to himself, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, tinged with self-deprecation. “My little sister is not an ordinary person…”

Tan Yao felt his scalp go numb, and his limbs turned cold.

If it really was Shen Wan, a young girl under twenty, then the level of cunning involved…

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen Qian, Mr. Shen?” A young man dressed in the uniform of the convention center staff appeared behind the two of them, accompanied by a polite bow.

Tan Yao frowned and scrutinized him. “Is there something you need?”

“A gentleman asked me to deliver this card to you.” The young man offered it respectfully as Shen Qian nodded, and Tan Yao reached out to accept it.

The young man completed his task and prepared to leave.

“Wait—”

“Who is the person who asked you to deliver it?”

“He said his last name is Lu.”

That night, at the Jingping Changfu Palace, in a private room.

When Shen Qian and Tan Yao were invited to join, the people sitting at the round table behind it only lifted their eyelids for a moment, then went back to their activities, casually saying, “You’ve arrived, find a seat, don’t stand there. We’ll serve the dishes in five minutes, wait for me to finish this game first.”

“You!” Tan Yao’s face turned cold, and he was about to explode, but Shen Qian raised his hand to stop him.

“That’s right,” Lushen’s gaze remained glued to his phone screen without shifting, “Dogs should act like dogs. If the owner hasn’t spoken, what’s the point of barking recklessly? Be careful not to provoke trouble!”

Tan Yao was seething with anger, but under Shen Qian’s command, he suppressed his anger. He felt so pent-up that every part of his body ached.

Five minutes, neither more nor less.

The dishes were served, and the game came to an end.

Lushen set his phone aside and smiled at Shen Qian, who was seated opposite him. “As the saying goes, ‘You can’t be acquaintance without a fight.’ Since Young Master Shen has come to Jingping, being a local here, it’s only natural for me to extend the hospitality of the host. Tonight, feel free to eat and drink as you wish. I’m treating! I have only one request, please don’t try to save money on my behalf!”

From the moment he entered the room until now, Shen Qian had maintained a gentle and refined smile on his lips, just right for the occasion. “It’s hard to refuse Seventh Lord’s generosity, so I’ll thank you in advance!”

“Don’t be polite. Let’s dig in!” With that, Lushen started picking up food with his chopsticks.

Around a large round table, Lushen sat at the head, while Shen Qian and Tan Yao sat below, facing each other, with a clear divide between them.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Lushen busied himself with eating and drinking, as if he were truly hosting a meal, just to ensure everyone had a good time..
