That inebriated pretty brunette was the young missy of Grace Holdings .

The smart-looking man beside her was the owner of this bar, as well as the son of Ocean Holdings, Xu Liang .

Yun Shishi followed Gu Xingze into this bar and had to cover her ears from the deafening music .

The atmosphere inside the bar was at its climax now . Dumbfounded and bewildered, she watched the crowd sway their bodies uninhibitedly to the music on the dance floor .

She hardly visited places like this, so although this bar was not as smoky as she had imagined, she was still unable to adapt to this messy and loud environment .

The bustling and upbeat music was nearly overwhelming her eardrums, and the mingling crowd was almost squashing her . Subconsciously, she reached out to hold the man"s hand tightly . His hand was cool to the touch, yet it provided her great comfort .

He felt her little hand tugging at his and lowered his head to see the lady beside him with such a helpless look on her face . The message of rejection was clear in her eyes .

She was terribly uncomfortable here to the point of disliking the bar .

Indeed, she, who was innately taciturn and introverted, was ill-suited for such a place .

He caught hold of her hand and asked with a raised brow, “You don"t like this place?”

“Ah?! What did you say?!” It was too noisy inside this bar, so she failed to catch his words . Standing on her toes, she brought her ear closer to him .

The man was lanky, so despite her best effort to stand on her toes, her head barely reached past his shoulders .

She leaned her head on his shoulder in slight frustration, which made him smile in response . Lowering his head, he slowly articulated his words to her ear . “You don"t like this place?”

His deep voice, which was full of magnetism, was slightly gasping for breath . It fanned her neck warmly . That part of her body seemed to be on fire as well, causing her cheeks to turn red . She nodded unnaturally . “I don"t like it!”

Fearful of him not catching her words, she showed him her dislike of the place through her face .

“We"ll leave if you don"t like it here . ”

He held her arm and was about to turn and go .

Startled, she quickly pulled his sleeve and smilingly said, “Aren"t you having a date with your friend here? Don"t worry about me; you do what you need to do, and I"ll keep you company!”

Keep him company…

His lips curled into a sweet arc as he raised a brow in surprise .

From his oblique view, he caught a glimpse of a slim shadow walking toward him through the crowd .

Ye Minglan had changed into a s.e.xy long black dress . With her wavy curls hanging loosely and voluminously on her chest and after reapplying her makeup, she looked more charming and amorous than ever .

“Xingze, you"re finally here; I"ve been waiting for you!”

He broke into a slight smile . She turned her gaze toward Yun Shishi who was standing beside him . In a white dress, the latter"s pair of slender and fair legs was exposed . Her standard student outfit exuded a taboo beauty .

Currently, many men were into this sweet and innocent fad of uniform seduction .

She was dressed like this because she wanted to look youthful during the boot ceremony . Now, standing at this bar, she very much looked out of place .

Ye Minglan found her looks to be quite familiar all of a sudden . She seemed to recall seeing her before but could not recollect the specifics .

Right now, she, who showed up in such an occasion in her wholesome outfit, looked so… awkward .
