Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Why is President Lu Willing to Show his Face Today?
Chen Yuan, who was sitting next to them, looked very accustomed to this place, implying that he frequently visited.
He naturally ordered some drinks, and then considerately asked Lu Yanxi if she needed anything else.
Lu Yanxi turned to ask Qiao Yin, “Do you need anything else?”
The music was blasting, so Qiao Yin couldn’t hear what she was saying, but by reading her lips, she could guess what Yanxi was asking.
She yelled in Yanxi’s ear, “I haven’t had dinner yet!”
Lu Yanxi began to laugh, “Let me order some snacks for you!”
She ordered a few snacks and then waved the waiter away.
After a while, when the food arrived, Qiao Yin sighed and shook her head in resignation.
Yanxi had ordered popcorn, pistachios, fries, and a large fruit platter for her.
However, even though Qiao Yin had never been to a bar, she knew that expecting a regular meal in a bar was unrealistic.
She started eating the popcorn, waiting until she had something in her stomach before taking a sip of her drink.
Unexpectedly, the cocktail Yanxi had ordered for her was very delicious, sweet and mellow with a refreshing lemon flavor. It felt like a beverage rather than an alcoholic drink.
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but take another sip.
Yanxi laughed and cautioned, “Drink slowly. The effect comes later!”
With Yanxi’s infectious mood, Qiao Yin started to gradually adapt to the atmosphere of the bar. She began to feel relaxed and happy, “Got it!”
She didn’t have a high alcohol tolerance, but a drink or two should be fine.
After a prolonged period of deafening rock music, the melody changed to a romantic slow song, which made the overall atmosphere of the bar more comfortable for Qiao Yin.
No wonder Yanxi always loved hanging out at bars. It really could make one relax.
Besides, listening to the singers performing live was a completely different experience from listening to music on a mobile phone or TV.
One would easily get swept up in the emotion of the moment, temporarily forgetting all worries and just enjoy the beautiful night with lovely music.
Seeing Qiao Yin relax, Yanxi happily clinked glasses with her and took a sip of her cocktail.
A man in a coffee-colored casual shirt in the booth diagonally opposite to them, snapped a picture of Lu Yanxi and sent it to someone.
He took a sip of his drink and typed leisurely, “Lu Yanxi is here too, are you sure you’re not coming?”
The reply was curt, “Busy.”
“Your family’s business is huge, and you can’t spend all your money in several lifetimes. There’s no need to work so hard, right? It’s almost eleven o’clock and you’re still working overtime?”
“Hmm.”
“What a pity. There’s a stunning beauty sitting next to Lu Yanxi. I thought I’d save her for you, but since you’re not coming, I’ll make my move.”
“Not interested.”
“She’s really beautiful, the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. And she seems to be a newbie at bars, so innocent, unlike the other flamboyant women here.”
The other party didn’t respond.
The man sent another message by himself, “Well, you’re blind. You can’t recognize a woman’s beauty. I feel like I’m playing music to a cow.”
Although he said the other person was blind, he still took another picture and sent it over.
A second later, he got a reply: “Location.”
The man was a bit confused: “Huh?”
“I’m asking for the bar’s location!”
“You’re coming? I thought you were working overtime?”
“Not anymore!”
About ten minutes later.
The bar door opened, and Lu Lingche came in.
With a cold expression, he scanned the venue, spotted Qiao Yin laughing and drinking with Lu Yanxi, and couldn’t help but frown.
Even in the dim light, he instantly recognized Qiao Yin.
However, instead of going over, he headed to the booth diagonally opposite to them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Seeing that Lu Lingche had indeed arrived, the man who texted him seemed surprised, “President Lu, I’ve been calling you out for two months, and you’ve always refused to join. What made you change your mind today?”
