The lighting in the clubhouse was soft and mellow, not too bright or intrusive, allowing patrons a sense of privacy.
Because of this, the rich second-generation young masters downstairs failed to notice the tall, silent figure on the second floor.
"Elder brother Yan, who exactly are you looking at?" Gu Ziyi had been drinking in the private room downstairs, finding it dull, and upon coming out saw Yan Xiao still standing motionless in that same posture, piquing his curiosity.
Yan Xiao, what a notable figure he was! The sole heir of the Yan family, the young master poised to inherit, courted by every branch of the clan.
Born in Rome, he had looked down on others from the apex since childhood.
Even the school beauty whose father was the mayor, confessing her feelings to him in front of everyone, he had simply turned and walked away. Who would have thought this young master would ever have feelings for a girl?
Gu Ziyi, carefree and chewing on a cigarette to satisfy his cravings, was mentally scheming to capture a picture of this young master's current state.
Yan Xiao wore a white shirt, utterly out of place with the mature atmosphere here. Yet even this youthful shirt could not conceal his inherent nobility.
The young master's hand rested on the carved handrail of the corridor, his phoenician eyes focused and serene as he stared at someone, exuding an inadvertent air of solemn coldness.
Yan Xiao ignored Gu Ziyi, seeing that Jiang Yan was merely flirting among the girls, and gradually the dark aura in his eyes dissipated. He thought, she's quite well-behaved.
Yan Xiao seemed intent on standing there for an eternity.
Gu Ziyi was shaking his head, planning to go back and sit down, when suddenly Yan Xiao yanked him.
"Go, get a WeChat." Yan Xiao gestured with his eyes. Gu Ziyi followed his gaze and saw two beautiful women, one sexy, one languid, each with their own charms.
He turned to stare at Yan Xiao: "Brother, what do you mean? I'm not interested in that at all! I'm absolutely loyal to you..."
"Go, or don't go?" Yan Xiao's patience was limited when it came to anyone other than Jiang Yan. He raised his gaze, his youthful slender frame already exuding a chilly, oppressive aura.
It was clear that continuing to refuse would result in a beating.
Gu Ziyi wisely scurried off to run the errand.
...
The girls were playing truth or dare, and Jiang Yan, unfortunate in her luck, kept losing, being penalized with two glasses of fruit wine.
The wine was low in alcohol content, with a sour-sweet taste, not intoxicating, but after drinking too much she felt the need to use the restroom.
Jiang Yan grabbed the little red-haired lady beside her and they went together, but before they arrived, a man with a meteor earring suddenly called out to them.
"Little ladies! You two beautiful young ladies, may I add you on WeChat? I've been observing you for a while."
Gu Ziyi was unsure which one he wanted, so he added both.
The little red-haired lady playfully scolded him for being greedy, and Jiang Yan hurriedly let him scan her code before rushing to the restroom.
"Here." After both had accepted, Gu Ziyi showed Yan Xiao, "The one on top is the red-haired beauty's, and the bottom one is..."
Before he could finish, Yan Xiao had already opened the bottom one, his cold, misanthropic brows furrowing as he meticulously typed the WeChat ID into the search bar.
Gu Ziyi glanced over at Jiang Yan, only remembering her languid long curly hair and alluring half-lidded eyes. So this was the type Yan Xiao was interested in?
...
The WeChat Jiang Yan had previously added him on was clearly her secondary account. Yan Xiao's cold expression did not change as he input the string of digits.
However, before he could finish, the topmost contact displayed was exactly the same as the one Gu Ziyi had added.
Yan Xiao was truly stunned. They... Had already added each other as friends?
