The next day.
When Xia Weilan woke up, Mo Beichen had already left on a business trip.
That evening, in a KTV, Le Xin and her three friends had already arrived.
When Xia Weilan and Rui Li got there, they happened to meet Fan Ming and the female class monitor at the door.
The group walked into the private room together.
Pushing open the door of the room, there were four people inside. Le Xin was wearing a princess dress and had deliberately dressed up. Her face was beaming with joy as she was surrounded like a star.
"Happy birthday!" Xia Weilan walked over and presented her gift.
Le Xin reached out to take it and introduced Xia Weilan and the others: "These two beautiful girls are my classmates, Xixi and Fangfang. This handsome guy is my high - school classmate, Wang Peng."
Wang Peng sized up the new arrivals. Noticing that Xia Weilan was the most exquisitely dressed among them, he couldn't help smiling at her and saying, "Which family's young lady are you?"
Hearing this, Le Xin immediately introduced, "Xia Weilan is amazing. She's the young lady of the Xia family. And she has a very rich boyfriend. He is..."
"Just a businessman," Xia Weilan interrupted Le Xin. She didn't want to draw too much attention.
Le Xin pouted. Her excitement deflated. She looked at Xia Weilan pitifully.
"A businessman? I'm also in business. We can communicate more when we have time!" Wang Peng puffed out his chest proudly. Among all the people here, only he had started doing business right after high school and had achieved quite a lot. He had his own house and car.
Le Xin introduced Xia Weilan and the others to her friends again.
"This is Rui Li. She's from the design department and has a good martial - arts background." Le Xin grinned and introduced Fan Ming. "This is the campus heartthrob of our school, Fan Ming."
"And this beautiful lady is the class monitor of the design class, Liu Xin."
Fan Ming had been sitting quietly in the corner without saying much.
Liu Xin also looked rather prim. She was a good girl.
Wang Peng focused his attention on Xia Weilan and Rui Li.
"Beautiful ladies, order whatever you like!" Wang Peng said to Xia Weilan and the others. "I'm treating today. Don't be polite to me."
Xia Weilan frowned. She thought Wang Peng was being a bit too presumptuous, but since Le Xin didn't say anything, she just politely smiled with a hint of aloofness.
Wang Peng sized up Rui Li. He thought she had the air of a superior and was extremely heroic. So he kept approaching her and asking, "Beautiful lady, what does your family do?"
Rui Li replied indifferently, "Just a small business."
Wang Peng's eyes lit up. He took a few more glances at Rui Li. The interest in his eyes was obvious to anyone.
Le Xin noticed it too. She giggled and said to Rui Li, "My friend here is also in small business. He's a very honest guy."
"Okay," Rui Li replied indifferently, not saying much more.
Wang Peng felt slighted and his face darkened.
To show off his wealth, Wang Peng waved his hand and ordered a lot more.
In an instant, the table was filled with all kinds of fruit platters.
"Business is tough these days. Fortunately, I have some connections. I recently switched to the jewelry business. If you ever want to buy jewelry, you can come to me. I'll give you a 20% discount."
Hearing this, Xia Weilan raised her eyebrows and simply replied with an okay.
As the young lady of the Xia family, the Xia family was originally a well - known jewelry tycoon in the capital.
And Xia Weilan had never heard of Wang Peng before. He probably wasn't very famous.
Xia Weilan thought Wang Peng was too arrogant and not worth getting to know well, so she didn't say much to him.
The atmosphere in the private room was enlivened by Le Xin's two little friends. They were singing songs and drinking, and flattering Wang Peng non - stop.
Wang Peng's ego was inflated. He ignored Xia Weilan and Rui Li and instead chatted and laughed with the two girls, boasting about how he overcame difficulties and made a fortune every day. The two girls looked at him with admiration.
When everyone came out of the private room, Wang Peng bravely called the manager over, planning to show off his gold card in front of the beautiful ladies.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the manager walked over, he recognized Xia Weilan at a glance. Then he respectfully said to Xia Weilan, "Miss Xia, you don't need to pay when you come to our place."
Xia Weilan looked at the manager in surprise. She had no impression of him. "Do you know me?"
"You've been here twice with Mr. Mo and Young Master Nanfeng. This is the Nanfeng family's business, so of course you don't need to pay." The manager's eyes fell on Rui Li. Isn't this the girl that Young Master Nanfeng had been chasing? He should quickly inform Young Master Nanfeng. Fortunately, he was here.
Xia Weilan didn't say much. Since it was Nanfeng Yan's business, with their friendship, it was really no big deal to get a free bill.
"Okay, then we'll leave first." After saying that, Xia Weilan led everyone out.
At this time, Wang Peng felt a bit regretful. He thought Xia Weilan and Rui Li might be someone special. He couldn't help looking at them. The more he looked, the more he felt they were extraordinary. So he quickly stepped forward and said, "Rui Li, can I have your phone number? We can be friends from now on."
When Nanfeng Yan came out, he saw this scene. He frowned and walked over quickly, standing quietly between the two of them.
"Boss!" The waiter beside him immediately greeted Nanfeng Yan respectfully.
This KTV was top - notch in terms of decoration, reputation, and service.
Not only Wang Peng but also Le Xin and her two classmates looked at Nanfeng Yan in surprise.
"Wow, another rich guy. Weilan, how do you know so many rich and handsome guys?" Le Xin blurted out excitedly. Le Xin was a person who valued appearance. When she saw a first - class handsome guy like Nanfeng Yan, her eyes lit up.
Unfortunately, Nanfeng Yan didn't pay any attention to Le Xin. Instead, he looked at Rui Li.
Rui Li was a bit surprised to see Nanfeng Yan suddenly appear. And right in front of her, Wang Peng was holding out a phone, waiting for her to enter her phone number.
With so many people watching, Rui Li didn't want to embarrass the other person. She took the phone, entered her number, and then gave it back.
While doing this, Rui Li kept her head down, hiding all her emotions.
Nanfeng Yan's face darkened. He said to Rui Li, "I'll take you home."
It was already late outside, and there was a strong wind. The weather was not good.
Nanfeng Yan took Rui Li to the door of her apartment but didn't leave.
"Don't you want to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
The words Rui Li was about to say to say goodbye paused. Then she opened the door wide and let him in.
If it were someone else, at this late hour, with a man and a woman alone, Rui Li wouldn't have agreed to let them in. But at this moment, the person was Nanfeng Yan. Rui Li trusted Nanfeng Yan enough. She knew that although he usually seemed unruly, he was actually a real gentleman.
If he had any bad intentions, why would he wait until now?
