Nangong Jin walked out of the private room, adjusted his clothes, and headed out.
Unexpectedly, he ran into soone familiar—it was Di Mingzhe. The sudden encounter gave him quite a scare.
In an instant, the cold and brooding aura around him dissipated, and he returned to his usual lazy and nonchalant self.
Di Mingzhe obviously saw Nangong Jin as well. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Xiaojin, what are you doing here?"
Wasn’t it Di Jinxuan’s birthday today?
It was almost midnight now. Why was Nangong Jin here?
"Hey, big brother." Nangong Jin cheerfully raised his hand, smiling so innocently that it erased any trace of the dark aura he had just monts ago.
"What are you doing here?" Di Mingzhe didn’t return his enthusiasm, his eyes growing slightly colder.
"I ca here with a friend." Nangong Jin lit a cigarette, avoiding a direct answer since there were others around.
Di Mingzhe furrowed his brows in suspicion, clearly displeased. "What are you doing in a place like this in the middle of the night? What’s with the ’friend’ excuse? Shouldn’t you be with Xuanxuan?"
"I’m heading back soon," Nangong Jin replied good-naturedly.
Di Mingzhe checked his watch, his expression still brimming with displeasure. Who wouldn’t be annoyed in this situation?
The future brother-in-law showing up at a place like this at midnight—Di Mingzhe knew exactly what kind of place this was. A venue for n to drink, play, and fool around.
On a normal day, Di Mingzhe might have let it slide. It wouldn’t have been odd to be here to handle so business. But!
Today was Di Jinxuan’s birthday, and stumbling onto Nangong Jin at this hour made the situation much bigger.
With that thought in mind, Di Mingzhe’s face darkened further. "Don’t bla for not warning you. You’re not the sa as before. Sotis, think about the situation and your identity. Don’t cause trouble for Xuanxuan."
Di Jinxuan was such a pure girl. A place like this? She probably had never even set foot in one before.
"I understand," Nangong Jin replied just as amiably, without the slightest trace of irritation.
Nangong Jin’s good temper left Di Mingzhe with no grounds for further criticism. He couldn’t just start yelling like a brute or accuse Nangong Jin outright of coming here with shady intentions.
Di Mingzhe nodded. "As long as you understand. It’s late; head back soon."
"Alright." Nangong Jin nodded too, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Big brother, what are *you* doing here?"
While his question seed innocent enough, his expression said otherwise.
It was clearly a sly, teasing look. He might as well have said: Oh, big brother, what a coincidence! You’re here too? What are you doing here?
If it’s inappropriate for ** to be in a place like this, does *your* presence here make it okay?
Doesn’t your family still have a very pregnant woman waiting at ho?
Does she even know you’re here?
Di Mingzhe blinked and quickly caught on. Feeling a bit awkward, he cleared his throat and replied casually, "I’m here to handle so business."
"Oh." Nangong Jin smiled and nodded, wearing an "I understand" expression before saying, "Alright, I’ll head back now."
"Hm." Di Mingzhe nodded as well but couldn’t shake the feeling that the smile on Nangong Jin’s face exuded mischief. As Nangong Jin stepped away, Di Mingzhe couldn’t help but remind him, "Xiaojin, don’t go talking about minor incidents like this."
The key issue was that Di Xiaxia was still pregnant, and Di Mingzhe certainly had no intention of causing her any unnecessary distress.
Hearing this, Nangong Jin turned his head and grinned, looking like a sly fox with an oddly cute vibe, and replied playfully, "Don’t worry, big brother."
