Chapter 28: The Cannon Fodder in a Dogblood Novel (28)
Before Fu Sizhao could say more than a few words to Wen Ci, Jiang Qingyan arrived with Shen Tangqing.
He leisurely put away his phone, his gaze landing on Shen Tangqingās coldly beautiful face.
It truly was a face that was spectacular whether as a man or a woman.
Looking at it made him feel a bit restless…
“Why are you sitting here?” Jiang Qingyan held a glass of champagne and raised an eyebrow at Fu Sizhao.
“These superficial banquets are boring.”
After Fu Sizhao finished speaking, he winked at Shen Tangqing, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness. “Little Brother Shen, don’t you recognize me after just a few days?”
Shen Tangqing: “…”
Fine, acquaintances could indeed still recognize him.
“Hello, Brother Fu.” He squeezed out an awkward yet polite smile at Fu Sizhao.
“Little Brother Shen wearing women’s clothes… looks quite good.”
Shen Tangqing: Hehe…
Jiang Qingyan frowned and swept a glance at Fu Sizhao. He didn’t respond, simply sitting down next to him.
Then he lifted his chin at Shen Tangqing and said coldly, “What are you dazing off for? Sit.”
Shen Tangqing sat next to Jiang Qingyan, though there was a safe distance between themāenough to fit another adult.
Jiang Qingyan glanced at the gap between them, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Fu Sizhao spoke up first, his tone casual. “There’s a special venue on the fifth floor tonight. Want to go play later?”
Jiang Qingyan frowned. “A place full of foul atmosphere. What’s fun about that?”
Fu Sizhao chuckled lightly. “Ah Yan, your personality really is getting more and more boring.”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Shen Tangqing, his eyes holding a hint of seduction. “Little Brother Shen, interested in going to the special venue to play later?”
Shen Tangqing looked at the smile in Fu Sizhao’s eyes and felt it harbored ill intentions.
“Brother Fu, if Brother Yan doesn’t go, I won’t go either.”
Hearing Shen Tangqing’s answer, Jiang Qingyan felt somewhat pleased. Like a lion whose fur had been smoothed, a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes before being quickly suppressed.
Fu Sizhao narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifting between the two.
Didn’t Jiang Qingyan hate Shen Tangqing? How could he tolerate Shen Tangqing calling him ‘Brother’?
Interesting!
He was silent for a moment, then laughed again. “Ah Yan just lacks romance and taste. I’ll take you to see the world, guarantee to make you…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Qingyan with a cold face.
“Ah Zhao, that kind of place isn’t suitable for him.”
The smile on Fu Sizhao’s face faded slightly, but the next second, it deepened.
“It was my lack of consideration. I hope Little Brother Shen doesn’t mind.”
Shen Tangqing didn’t speak, only shaking his head.
Although he was a bit curious about what the “special venue” Fu Sizhao mentioned was, judging by Jiang Qingyan’s attitude, it definitely wasn’t a good place.
The melody of a waltz washed over the halo of the crystal chandeliers. Fu Sizhao spoke again.
“Oh, the dancing has started. Isn’t Ah Yan going to take Little Brother Shen for a dance?”
Just as Fu Sizhao’s voice fell, Jiang Qingyan stood up. The hem of his black velvet suit swept across the edge of the sofa, bringing out a trace of cold nobility.
He didn’t look at Fu Sizhao, only lowering his eyes to look at Shen Tangqing. His well-defined hand hung in mid-air, palm up, his posture elegant yet carrying a meaning that allowed no refusal: “Let’s go.”
Shen Tangqing silently chanted in his heart: Two million!
He handed his hand to Jiang Qingyan and followed him onto the dance floor.
Fu Sizhao’s gaze rested on the backs of Shen Tangqing and Jiang Qingyan…
It was a long time before he slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and let out a scoff. His expression carried a slight mockery.
“Really interesting!”
…
When Shen Tangqing stepped on Jiang Qingyan’s foot for the third time, Jiang Qingyan suddenly pulled Shen Tangqing into his chest.
He leaned down slightly close to Shen Tangqing’s ear, his tone sounding like he was gritting his teeth. “Shen Tangqing, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Shen Tangqing looked at Jiang Qingyan with an innocent face, while internally feeling great. Let you hug me so tight!
“Brother Yan, I haven’t danced in too long, I kind of forgot how. I really didn’t mean to. You won’t blame me, right?”
Jiang Qingyan sneered. “No, how could I blame you…”
After speaking, Jiang Qingyan paused, his tone carrying a threat. “Butāif you step on me one more time, that house is gone.”
Shen Tangqing: “…”
He silently retracted the foot he was preparing to step down with.
“Brother Yan, that’s too severe… surely not!”
Jiang Qingyan revealed a smile containing a high concentration of ‘mom’ (meaning: a cursing smile), and didn’t speak.
Shen Tangqing: “…”
Until the dance was nearly over, Jiang Qingyan spoke with slight mockery, “What, suddenly know how to dance again?”
Shen Tangqing smiled brilliantly. “I’m young. After dancing a bit, I remembered how to do it.”
Jiang Qingyan was dazzled by his smile.
The steps beneath his feet momentarily lost their rhythm, and he accidentally stepped on Shen Tangqing’s foot…
Shen Tangqing frowned, secretly cursing Jiang Qingyan in his heart. This guy is definitely taking revenge on purpose!
Petty man!
Jiang Qingyan came back to his senses, paused, and whispered, “Sorry.”
Shen Tangqing looked at him resentfully. “Brother Yan, you did that on purpose, right?”
Jiang Qingyan: “…”
Shen Tangqing only danced one dance with Jiang Qingyan.
After the dance, Jiang Qingyan told Shen Tangqing to wait for him in the lounge on the second floor, while he and Fu Sizhao followed a middle-aged man in a suit to the third floor to discuss business.
The second floor was obviously much quieter than the first.
Shen Tangqing sat in the lounge for a while and felt a bit bored, so he got up and went to the garden for a stroll.
The light from the crystal chandelier shone through the glazed glass flower house, spilling onto the white carved railings of the garden. Moonlight mixed with the warm light, landing beside the round table in the center.
There was only one man sitting in the garden. It was quiet to the point of being eerie.
Shen Tangqing’s gaze fell on the pack of cigarettes in front of him. Hesitating for a second, he still approached.
“Brother, can you spare a cigarette?”
Shen Tangqing’s voice interrupted Qin Yizhou’s thoughts.
He couldn’t help frowning. Are the bodyguards eating for free?
This thought flashed through his mind, but the next second he remembered he had told the bodyguards to scramble downstairs…
He turned around displeased.
When his gaze fell on Shen Tangqing, his pupils constricted sharply.
And Shen Tangqing was also stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Yizhou’s face.
It was a face full of aggressive power.
It carried a naturally fierce aggressiveness. A pair of black eyes were as deep as a cold pool. Even a careless glance sweeping over carried a sense of oppression warning strangers to keep away. He was handsome in an extremely invasive way.
Seeing him staring straight at himself, Shen Tangqing suddenly remembered the dress he was wearing…
Thinking he had scared him, he smiled awkwardly and explained to Qin Yizhou, “Um, I’m a man!”
Of course Qin Yizhou could tell he was a man.
Although Shen Tangqing’s cross-dressing was beautiful, there were still male characteristics. If one looked closely, they could be distinguished.
In Qin Yizhou’s view, some people liking to cross-dress wasn’t a shameful hobby.
However, a man? That actually made him even more excited.
“I can tell.” Qin Yizhou finished speaking and pulled a cigarette from the box to hand to him.
Shen Tangqing took a step forward, accepted the cigarette Qin Yizhou offered, and smiled, saying thanks.
Qin Yizhou lowered his eyes to stare at his handāfingers slender, nails trimmed clean, even the fingertips revealing a pink hue.
These hands were too suitable to be used for something…
His Adam’s apple rolled violently, suppressing the inappropriate thoughts in his heart. “You’re welcome.”
As his voice fell, Shen Tangqing spoke somewhat embarrassedly, “Um… do you have a lighter?”
Qin Yizhou suddenly stood up.
Shen Tangqing then realized that the man in front of him was very tall, even taller than Jiang Qingyan, probably over 1.9 meters. When the shadow cast down, it carried a strong sense of oppression.
Before Shen Tangqing could react, Qin Yizhou took out a lighter, cupping the flame with both hands and holding it out to him.
This action was somewhat intimate; it was usually something only familiar people would do.
Shen Tangqing was stunned for a moment. “I can do it myself.”
“It’s fine, just passing convenience.” Qin Yizhou’s tone was flat, but he didn’t retract his hand. His gaze locked firmly onto Shen Tangqing’s lips, waiting for him to lean in.
Shen Tangqing hesitated for a second, then leaned in with the cigarette in his mouth.
Thinking to himself, this guy is weirdly enthusiastic!
The moment the flame licked the cigarette paper, the two were very close.
Qin Yizhou smelled a faint floral scent seemingly absent on Shen Tangqing, which he obsessed for a moment.
Shen Tangqing didn’t notice his abnormality. After lighting the cigarette, he took a puff, feeling the satisfaction hit the top of his skull.
Having not smoked all day, the craving really had kicked in.
He didn’t know what kind of cigarette this was. The top note was slightly bitter, the middle note had a sweet aftertaste. It didn’t feel like smoking, but rather like drinking a bottle of fine red wine. The taste was very unique.
“Thank you, sir.”
After speaking, Shen Tangqing took a step back, leaning against the carved white jade pillar, smoking lazily.
The light on the jade pillar was very bright, falling right on Shen Tangqing.
Cold white skin, flaming red lips, lips holding the cigarette were very soft… even the arc when exhaling smoke revealed a careless seduction. In Qin Yizhou’s eyes, it was extremely beautiful.
His heart beat very fast.
Qin Yizhou’s expression was somewhat obscure. The hand holding the lighter trembled slightly.
Is someone trying to harm him?
Finding a man who precisely fits all his aesthetics to seduce him?
