Chapter 1898: 1898

“Based on how she usually reacts, she most certainly will . ”

“I think so, too . ” Ye Qianqian looked to the side . “Forget it . It’s only the first night . The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve . I don’t think it would be right to do that . ”

Shen Zhilie looked a little grumpy . He leaned against her and blew a puff of warm air onto her cheek .

He gently caressed her and said, “For New Year’s Eve and the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, we have to be back at home . We can’t spend the night out . ”

“Well, forget it . Why do you have to spend the night out?” Ye Qianqian asked him knowingly . She didn’t know if her cheeks were suffering from the cold air or if she was blushing, but they felt a little pink .

Shen Zhilie groaned, then playfully nibbled her ear . Ye Qianqian was startled . She squirmed and looked around . Sure enough, someone was looking at them .

“You’re crazy! People are watching us . ”

Shen Zhilie chuckled, then pulled her along and said, “Let’s go . ”

“Where?”

“Somewhere fun . ”

Shen Zhilie turned his head around and flashed a bright smile, but Ye Qianqian didn’t think it would be that simple .

It was neither close nor far . They went back to the car, and Shen Zhilie drove . After about ten minutes, he stopped the car at a building .

After turning off the car, Shen Zhilie led Ye Qianqian inside .

When Ye Qianqian first came to the North to spend the winter, she realized that no matter where she went in the capital, all the buildings had two curtains: a thick cotton curtain at the door, and a rubber curtain just inside . The curtains trapped the heat inside the room extremely well, and also blocked out sound .

Shen Zhilie brought Ye Qianqian inside . She noticed it seemed to be a club . There weren’t many people inside, but it looked lively .

When Shen Zhilie came inside, a group of people turned and looked at them .

“Hey, Old Shen is here . ”

“Come here . I’m worried about my bad luck . Come and sit down . Take my place . ”

“How dare you! I don’t want to play anymore . Old Shen, come and sit here . ”

“Oh, you brought a pretty girl here . Your girlfriend?”

…

Despite being crowded, the club didn’t look messy at all . Everyone looked clean, but the atmosphere was quite noisy because of the poker game going on .

Shen Zhilie led Ye Qianqian inside . Facing everyone’s gazes, he put his arms around Ye Qianqian’s neck and said, “What are you people doing playing cards? Come and meet your sister-in-law . ”

“Wow . She’s really your girlfriend?!”

“She’s so beautiful . Wow, Old Shen . How did you trick her into dating you?”

“Pft . Is that how you talk to a brother? You should ask him how he managed to pick up a girl like that . Such luck!”

They made Shen Zhilie laugh . He said with a smile, “Go away . She was smart enough to see something in me . I can’t help it . I’m really handsome . I’m not like you poor fellas, who only play cards all the time . ”

While they were talking, Shen Zhilie brought two chairs over for Ye Qianqian and himself to sit down on .

Ye Qianqian had never met Shen Zhilie’s friends before . She’d met his colleagues several times, but they were just colleagues in Kingstown . Colleagues and friends are two completely different things .

There were about six or seven people . It looked like they were all in their 20s or 30s . Their beer bottles were crooked, and some of them had red cheeks . But if one took a closer look at these men, they would notice they looked upright and decent .

As expected, birds of a feather flock together . Even his friends looked good .

“Well, well, you are quite arrogant when you have a girlfriend with you . Don’t go around thinking I can’t kick your a** because your girlfriend’s around . ”

“Hahaha . Stop it . Old Shen, why don’t you introduce us?”

“I’m Shen Zhilie . ” Shen Zhilie patted his chest .

“Get out of here!”

“Who needs to know about you? Shut up!”
