"Qi Han, I did not know you were here." w.a.n.g Che spoke with a smile. It seemed that his calculations had not been helpful. It was difficult to account for one"s state of mind. And it seemed that Qi Han"s morose mood had led him to this place which had a good drinking environment.Qi Han looked sharply at w.a.n.g Che. There was a lot of anger in his heart. "I also did not know that you were here. I only saw you by coincidence and decided to come and greet you, my good friend." The words were marked by hidden daggers.
Hu Lei looked around in confusion from her warm nest. Zhong Feng looked at the woman who had looked up with intent to kill and now appeared like a fragile little kitten, burrowing deeper into his chest. He smiled and shifted her a little before picking a bottle of water.
"You should drink some water." It would not be good if she got dehydrated due to the amount of alcohol she had consumed earlier.
Hu Lei propped up her body against Zhong Feng as if she was boneless before drinking the water. She pretended not to notice the looks that the newcomer had been giving her. There was definitely something strange about the way he looked at her.
"You are welcome to have a drink with us." w.a.n.g Che did not display awkwardness due to the circ.u.mstances since he was the only one with the complete picture. "I believe that you know Furukawa Shun." He pointed at the dazed idiot who could not handle alcohol.
Shun looked at the man who then sat down beside him. He smiled foolishly and in a welcoming manner. w.a.n.g Che knocked him on the head, disrupting his foolishness. Shun held his head and looked at him with grievances, but he only faced that proper princely smile.
"You must also know Zhong Feng, and this is his girlfriend, Hu Lei." Zhong Feng nodded in acknowledgement and Hu Lei raised her hand and waved.
"It is a pleasure to see all of you." Qi Han still held anger towards w.a.n.g Che, but he was too happy about formally meeting his angel to focus on that. He smiled at her with almost heated eyes. How could he not be happy to meet his life saviour?
The only unfortunate thing was that she had a boyfriend. And how could her boyfriend be Zhong Feng? He had imagined every scenario about their meeting, including one where she had a boyfriend. However, in his mind, he had pictured her with either a jerk who did not appreciate her or a man involved in the criminal underworld. Otherwise, why would she have been riding her motorcycle at night?
Zhong Feng noticed the fervent gaze in this man"s eyes. Finally, he understood what Hu Lei meant earlier when she accepted the invitation to dinner. There was a difference in how people looked at each other. He could now clearly see that w.a.n.g Che had looked at Hu Lei with interest, but his motives were not nefarious. On the other hand, this Qi Han, the desire in his eyes was apparent.
He gazed coldly at Qi Han, who looked back at him in challenge. Qi Han had felt a little down-hearted because of Zhong Feng. However, after a moment, he realised that there was no difference, whether it was this man or any other. All he needed to do was make Hu Lei fall for him.
Most men like Zhong Feng would only treat their girlfriends with perfunctory care. However, those relationships would not last long. It was unlikely that he would realise what a treasure he had in his hands. As long as he worked hard, she would be moved and want to be with him. All in all, it would not be too difficult.
"It is a pleasure to meet you too." Hu Lei smiled at Qi Han, unknowingly sending him to seventh heaven. "But we cannot accompany you for much longer. Ah-Feng has to work tomorrow." She had noticed the fiery gaze from his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable remaining here.
"Sister-in-law, how can you abandon me? We should drink some more." Shun who looked like he was permanently drunk leaned over the table, stretching his hands towards her like a zombie. w.a.n.g Che pulled him back before his face planted on the table.
"You can go ahead. I will take care of matters here." w.a.n.g Che nodded with a smile. Though he had forced this meeting with ulterior motives, he had enjoyed himself. Zhong Feng matched his intellect even if he did not speak a lot, and Hu Lei was a strange delight.
"Thank you. Next time, it will be our treat." Hu Lei spoke before they stood up. Zhong Feng also nodded in appreciation at w.a.n.g Che. He turned his eyes to Shun who was already drinking again. For someone who could not handle alcohol, he was very persistent.
"Take care of him." Zhong Feng turned his eyes back to w.a.n.g Che. It could be said that Shun was the only person who could be truly considered his friend. Though they were not very close, he cared about him.
w.a.n.g Che showed surprise in his eyes because he had come to understand Zhong Feng a little over the evening. He was a man who treated words like gold even when his tongue had been loosened after a few drinks. It seemed that he really did consider Shun to be a friend.
"He is safe with me." He responded.
Hu Lei snorted inelegantly at these words. However, she did not express her thoughts.
When the couple left, w.a.n.g Che poured Qi Han a drink like a good host. He acted like nothing unusual had taken place. However, there was a hint of hostility in Qi Han"s eyes as he looked at his friend. Still, he took the drink.
"How long has it been since you found her?" He asked with betrayal in his eyes.
"Not too long." w.a.n.g Che responded with a casual sip of his drink.
"I thought you were my friend." Qi Han spoke with anger, his hands tightening around the gla.s.s in his hand. He could not express his feelings when he had seen that angel seated with w.a.n.g Che. It had felt like a stab in the back.
"It is precisely because I am your friend that I conducted my due diligence. Moreover, I have already made my thoughts clear on this matter." w.a.n.g Che did not appreciate the tone. He had never been one to make conclusions or take actions without evaluating everything involved in the situation.
"Were you even going to tell me?" Qi Han asked, downing the contents in his gla.s.s.
"I am quite sure that you would have found her eventually." w.a.n.g Che did not give a direct answer. Even though he teased Shun a lot in relation to breaking up the couple, he would never be a part of such an action. He had seen the effects of scheming against people who were already together. Therefore, he was not certain that he would have volunteered the information, especially after realising how blissful Hu Lei and Zhong Feng were.
Qi Han slammed his gla.s.s on the table in anger. He did not understand w.a.n.g Che sometimes. It was almost impossible to know a person with a deep mind like him. His motives were always unclear. "You should understand who your friends in this city are." He strode away with those threatening words.
w.a.n.g Che looked at the man leaving with an apathetic gaze. "Hey, where did everyone go?" A voice cut through his thoughts. He looked at idiot Shun and that foolish red face. The indifferent look in his eyes disappeared.
