"If you don't say anything, does that mean you're pregnant?"
"No."
"No?" Quan Youli's voice was several times louder. "How is that possible?"
Tang Jinyan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Is it strange?"
Unexpectedly, Quan Youli nodded vigorously.
"It's strange because when she hung out with us, at least six out of ten sentences were related to you.
It's obvious that she has feelings for you. How can you tell me that you're pure? "
Tang Jinyan was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said frankly, "I don't think we're pure, but it's not the time yet."
Quan Youli asked with great interest, "Why?"
"Because she's not ready yet."
Quan Youli blinked and was a little puzzled. Tang Jinyan lowered his head and drank. He did not elaborate.
There were some things that could only be understood. He and Hyomin could not even explain it clearly to themselves. How could he explain it to others?
At that moment, Tang Jinyan's phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was from Zheng Mengzhun.
"President Zheng, are you in Gaoyang?"
"Yes, I just arrived.
I looked around the City Hall's banquet but didn't see President Tang. After asking, I found out that he went to spend some alone time with a female celebrity.
Do you have a problem with Gaoyang's City Hall? "
"Ha, of course not. Mayor Jiang knows that I came out with my friend."
Zheng Mengzhun laughed on the other end. "We'll have a small gathering later. Bring your female celebrity along. Li Yuan and I will also bring along."
Tang Jinyan looked up at Quan Youli a little awkwardly.
It was almost a custom for these people to bring along a celebrity for private gatherings. Tang Jinyan had heard of it, but he had never participated in it. It was not that he was pretending to be noble, but that no one had invited him to such gatherings.
Unexpectedly, it was the first time he received such an invitation. The girl beside him was not his woman at all. He wondered if his attitude of treating a female celebrity as a pet would anger the man in front of him.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Quan Youli sipping her beer. She said faintly without changing her expression, "Let's go. We should at least support President Tang.
By the way, let me see what this legendary scene is like. "
Tang Jinyan covered the microphone. "Hey, it's very likely that we'll have to hug."
Quan Youli acted as if nothing had happened. "Do you think I've never acted before?"
Tang Jinyan looked at her speechlessly for a while. He didn't know if she was being open-minded or if she trusted him too much … Anyway, the girl didn't care, so of course he wouldn't be pretentious. He said into the microphone, "Where?"
*****
The clubhouse was arranged by Li Yuan. It was not far from their roadside stall. The two of them walked all the way to the clubhouse. Quan Youli hesitated for a moment and held Tang Jinyan's arm.
It was normal to go to a banquet together and enter the venue arm in arm. Tang Jinyan did not think much of it. He entered the club and reported the room number. The waiter nodded and bowed as he led the two of them to the private room.
Seeing the scene inside, Tang Jinyan really wanted to cover his face.
It was because he saw Li Juli's father sitting there with a female celebrity beside him. Tang Jinyan was quite familiar with her. With his limited understanding of the entertainment industry, once he was familiar with someone, they must be of high status …
This father-in-law of his had once been seen by Li Juli with a hostess in his arms. Tang Jinyan knew that this father-in-law of his was not a noble person. He did not expect to encounter such a scene where the father-in-law and son-in-law brought along a celebrity …
However, this time, Mr. Li obviously knew that he would come and was mentally prepared. When he saw him enter, he nodded without changing his expression as a greeting.
However, his sharp gaze fell on Quan Youli, full of vigilance.
"Come on, you're the one who cheated on me. Don't tell on me in front of Juli all day."
Mr. Li said, "Hey," but didn't say anything.
Tang Jinyan magically understood what he meant. He played outside, but he did not raise her. His nature was very different from Tang Jinyan's …
The landlord, Li Yuan, smiled and said, "President Tang rarely comes out for entertainment."
Tang Jinyan first met this royal family member when he came to Gaoyang City. However, he also knew that it was because he rarely went out to participate in entertainment or small gatherings. Otherwise, he would have known such a famous person long ago.
Next to Li Yuan was Zheng Mengzhun. The two of them also brought along celebrities who looked very familiar to Tang Jinyan. Among them, there seemed to be some very famous ones.
He secretly glanced at Quan Youli. There was a flash of shock in Quan Youli's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Zheng Mengzhun smiled and said, "President Tang usually has a lot of entertainment. Of course, he doesn't need to go out for entertainment."
The men chuckled. Even Mr. Li was laughing.
Tang Jinyan glared at him angrily and took Quan Youli to sit on the empty sofa. "I usually have a lot of things to do, so I don't have the energy to go out for fun."
It was just a polite sentence, but unexpectedly, Zheng Mengzhun nodded in agreement. "President Tang can achieve today's achievements at such a young age. It's inseparable from your usual hard work.
You're not like us who are drunk and have no future … "
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "President Zheng, you must be joking. You have the most future among all of us here."
Tang Jinyan was referring to this guy running for mayor of Seoul. Obviously, he would continue to run for president.
Zheng Mengzhun smiled slightly. "There's a cliff in politics, but there's no cliff in business."
Everyone laughed. "Brilliant."
Everyone tacitly did not mention the celebrities next to each other. They did not say things like "I've heard so much about you" or "I'm your fan".
They just talked about their own men. The women quietly sat by the side and poured wine for the men.
Quan Youli followed suit and poured a glass of wine for Tang Jinyan.
This was no longer the beer from the roadside stalls. One bottle could almost buy a car of beer.
However, Tang Jinyan and Quan Youli could see each other's thoughts from their eyes. It was not as interesting as drinking beer just now.
"Speaking of which, I've long wanted to sit down with President Tang in private and talk about romance. But I haven't had a good chance in Seoul."
Zheng Mengzhun said, "This time, we're in Gaoyang City, and we have an open business cooperation. Finally, I can drink with President Tang."
The key word in this sentence was romance.
With a female celebrity by his side, it was impossible to talk about business. Tang Jinyan knew that he came here today to see how these guys usually played …
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Are we going on the show?"
Zheng Mengzhun nodded. "You can go on now."
The lights outside suddenly turned on.
Tang Jinyan realized that one of the walls was made of glass. It was dark outside earlier, so he did not notice it. Now that the lights were on, he looked through the glass and saw a small stage outside.
'It can't be as boring as a striptease, right? I'm tired of watching nightclubs …' Tang Jinyan cursed in his heart. 'It seems that these people aren't that good at playing tricks …'
While he was thinking, he saw a masked man walking onto the stage with a dog leash. A graceful woman with a veil over her face was kneeling on the ground and slowly climbed onto the stage with the dog leash.
"… City people really know how to have fun." In fact, this kind of performance was not unheard of in Gaoyang City, but it was still relatively rare.
Tang Jinyan was quite interested in watching this kind of performance. If it were any other day, he would be very happy to watch it. Unfortunately, it was not the right day. He had brought a buddy with him …
He secretly looked at Quan Youli. Quan Youli's face was flushed, and she seemed to be gnashing her teeth.
Soon, the * * * * performance began on the stage outside. The description of how the * * * * served the master was very detailed. The four men present were all knowledgeable. They all leisurely sipped their red wine and leaned on the sofa to enjoy the performance without changing their expressions.
In fact, the women present were also very knowledgeable. They also did not change their expressions. They even smiled and poured wine for the men beside them. However, as their eyes moved, they lost some of the dignity they had when they first met and gained some charm.
Tang Jinyan caught a glimpse of Zheng Mengzhun's big hand leisurely reaching into the arms of the woman beside him. He caressed her casually as if he was playing with a toy.
Li Yuan also held her in his arms and motioned for her to feed him wine. It was the kind of mouth-to-mouth …
The most well-behaved was Mr. Li. He probably could not play this game in front of his "son-in-law", so he just hugged the woman beside him and did not take any further action.
However, everyone knew that if they did not do anything now, as the performance on the stage outside went deeper, they would also go deeper …
Quan Youli was about to cry …
She could guess that these people's performance would be more special, but she had underestimated the extent of it. She had overestimated her knowledge and tolerance.
The girl no longer looked like a buddy. Her face was red and she tried hard not to turn her head to look at the two couples over there. She gritted her teeth and glared at the performance outside. Her small hands pinched the corner of her clothes so hard that blue veins were about to pop out.
Zheng Mengzhun suddenly said, "President Tang, are you not satisfied with the performance?"
Li Yuan also looked at Tang Jinyan curiously. He also felt that Tang Jinyan was so well-behaved that he was speechless. He just leisurely leaned on the sofa and drank wine while watching the performance. His hands did not move at all.
However, his thoughts were similar to Zheng Mengzhun's. He felt that the performance should not be to Tang Jinyan's liking. He was a big shot who came from Qingliang. How could the Nine Masters not have seen this type of play?
He reckoned that this level would not be able to arouse his interest at all.
Tang Jinyan put down his wine glass and smiled slightly. "It's too weak. I'll invite the two of you to Qingliang to play some other day."
Quan Youli lowered her head slightly. She knew that Tang Jinyan said that on purpose.
She wanted to save his face, but in the end, he was the one who saved her face.
