After work, Su Chen drove to the place Qi ng had ntioned—the First Grade Residence, a na that seed full of poetic flair upon hearing it.
Upon arrival, Su Chen realized that the restaurant truly lived up to its na, its style was very elegant, and careful attention seed to have been paid to every detail.
There were no private rooms here, but each dining table was separated by screens, which allowed the dining guests to feel as though they were part of a whole, yet each had their own private space.
The screens were adorned with traditional Chinese paintings and inscriptions, creating an atmosphere that left diners feeling as if they themselves had beco great scholars.
However, at this ti there were no other custors in the restaurant, so Su Chen found Qi ng the mont he entered.
Today, Qi ng was still wearing a deep purple body-hugging dress that reached above her thighs, paired with black stockings and high-heeled shoes that accentuated her legs, making them look incredibly long and straight.
Over the dress, she had draped a snow-white mink coat, which altogether gave off an air of sexiness laced with a touch of nobility!
As Su Chen had expected, Shen Lin was also there.
Upon Su Chen's arrival, the two imdiately stood up to greet him, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat back down.
"I wonder if the First Grade Residence belongs to Miss Qi ng, or is it Mr. Shen's property?"
After sitting down, Su Chen glanced around, smiling as he inquired.
"Mr. Su truly has a discerning eye, to be frank, this place was opened by for fun. You're welco anyti, Mr. Su," Shen Lin replied with a slight smile.
Shen Lin wasn't surprised that Su Chen had guessed this, considering their association at this point was still a matter of clandestine dealings, not sothing to be displayed in public places.
"Big Brother Shen, I'm sorry for yesterday, it was a necessary asure, does it still hurt now?"
Suddenly, Su Chen pointed to the other person's face, seemingly asking with a face full of concern.
What he was referring to, of course, was the slap he had delivered to the other man's face the day before.
Upon hearing this, a hint of darkness flashed through Shen Lin's eyes.
Yesterday's incident was sothing everyone was tacitly aware of, and he wouldn't hold it against Su Chen. He could understand the situation.
But bringing it up as soon as he sat down seed a bit like a deliberate slap in the face.
Although slightly displeased, he still maintained an appearance of composure.
"No worries at all, it was a minor matter. I know at that ti you had no choice, Mr. Su," Shen Lin said with a smile.
"Such magnanimity, Big Brother Shen. If soone slapped like that, I would surely detest them to death," Su Chen said with an air of emotion,
"But you, Big Brother Shen, not only bear no grudge against but you even invite to dine; you really are... too kind!"
As soon as these words fell, the corners of Shen Lin's mouth twitched involuntarily.
He thought, the way you say it, it doesn't sound like you're praising at all, rather it seems like you're implying I am too cheap?
For a mont, he wasn't quite sure if Su Chen was doing it on purpose.
Qi ng, sitting beside them, almost couldn't help bursting into laughter.
She knew Su Chen more than anyone else and was certain that he was doing it intentionally.
After all, to Qi ng, the event from the night before was the least shocking, as such things were all too common for the King of the Underworld!
However, she currently presented herself as part ally and part subordinate to Shen Lin, so it wasn't appropriate for her to damage Shen Lin's face.
With a pair of eyes that seed to lure people in, she stole a glance at Su Chen, her gaze seemingly whispering — "You're so naughty!"
And honestly, Qi ng's eyes were indeed irresistible to n; right now, Su Chen's heart uncontrollably "thudded."
"Mr. Su, I really didn't expect that you would actually be..."
Shen Lin spoke with a hint of sigh.
He truly hadn't anticipated that Su Chen would turn out to be soone from the Su Family's senior branch!
Although Su Lou had gradually beco a taboo term, barely known to anyone, Shen Lin was aware, and even more so of what kind of person was referred to!
And here in front of him was the son of that person!
He finally understood why Su Chen had humiliated those young masters so much; it really wasn't without reason!
Last night he had also almost stayed up all night, pondering over the impact of this matter on himself, including whether to continue cooperating with the other party.
After a night of analysis, he arrived at a conclusion: in so ways, both of their goals were aligned.
They both wanted to break certain things and then obtain what they desired from the fallout.
At least for the mont, their short-term intentions were the sa, which is why he had invited him to dinner today.
As for the matters of that year, anyone with a bit of sense would realize they were far from normal upon reflection.
How could the people of the Su Family's senior branch et with mishaps in such quick succession? That couldn't possibly be normal.
If soone said there were no underhanded sches involved, nobody would believe it!
Of course, the targets of these sches were naturally directed at the other major families!
Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, Su Chen also responded with a bitter smile.
"I understand. Such a deep hatred, how could one forget? If Mr. Su ever needs my help in the future, just ask."
At this mont, Shen Lin spoke with great satisfaction, seeming just like a good brother.
But in reality, both parties knew that this was all just superficial, and Su Chen casually expressed his thanks.
Soon after, their dishes were served. Although not those luxurious ones, they were indeed light and exquisite, looking quite appetizing.
The atmosphere that followed was rather harmonious. Su Chen, while enjoying the delicious food, also took pleasure in watching Qi ng across from him, causing her to beco sowhat shy.
Shen Lin, sitting to the side, also noticed this and gestured slightly to Qi ng, who understood his intentions.
"Mr. Su, Qi ng offers you a drink."
Qi ng suddenly approached Su Chen with a drink in hand. Since the seating at First Grade consisted of long sofas rather than chairs, she directly sat down right next to Su Chen.
"Ah, for Miss Qi ng to offer a toast herself, I am truly honored."
Su Chen smiled slightly, picked up his glass, and gently clinked it with Qi ng's, while his hand naturally wrapped around her soft, slender waist.
Qi ng's body trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to move a bit to the side, away from Su Chen.
But Su Chen's hand was like iron tongs, gripping her tightly, leaving her unable to move.
Qi ng was helpless in the situation and even had to maintain a smile on her face.
After she finished her drink, Su Chen took the initiative to pour another for both of them, saying with a laugh:
"I'll also offer a drink to Miss Qi ng."
"Okay."
With a seductive look in her eyes, Qi ng faced Su Chen and softly spoke as if exhaling orchid fragrance.
"Bang!"
Their glasses gently clinked again, after which they each prepared to drink.
Just then, Qi ng suddenly trembled, her hand shook, and she nearly spilled her drink...
