Chapter 618: 604, Purely Accidental (1)_1 Chapter 618: 604, Purely Accidental (1)_1 Before Jian Luo could react, his collar was abruptly tugged backwards. He turned his head to meet the manâs glowering face and unconsciously shrunk back.
Um, could he say that it was an accident?
Black Jack held Jian Luo tightly with one hand, his fingertips continuously wiping the side of his face where Bai Jue had playfully touched him. His azure eyes glinted dangerously.
âBai, Jue!â
A sinister voice echoed, sending chills down Bai Jueâs spine.
âUm, it was an accident, absolutely an accident.â
While speaking, he continually sidled away, distancing himself from the conflict.
Black Jackâs eyelids lifted, his piercing gaze fixing upon Bai Jue. He gritted his teeth and asked, âAn accident?â
âYes, yes.â Bai Jue nodded frantically, âIt was wholly an accident. All Jian Luoâs fault, not mine.â
Such successful passing of the blame, one might say.
Jian Luo bore a dark expression, shooting Bai Jue a sideways glare.
Itâs as if he didnât exist.
A smile played on Jian Qingâs lips as she watched the spectacle among the trio.
Black Jack halted, narrowing his eyes. His voice turned even icier, âYou mean this was Jian Luoâs fault?â
Bai Jue nodded without hesitation.
His tune changed to a fawning smile the next second as he saw Black Jackâs increasingly gloomy face, âBlack Jack, let me explain. It was just a minor accident just now. Even though I was at a bit of a loss, I am magnanimous and wonât make a fuss about it.â
Those words made it sound like he was wronged to a great extent.
Jian Luo grabbed a pillow without thinking and threw it at him.
âBai Jue, shut up. Youâre the one at a loss? I havenât even begun complaining about you yet, and youâre trying to get ahead of me. Have some shame.â
Catching the pillow with one hand, Bai Jue smirked smugly, âYou think Iâm Black Jack, who would be happy to kiss you?â
âYouâŠâ Jian Luo was enraged, âBai Jue, Iâll make sure to sort you out today.â
Saying this, he squirmed away from Black Jackâs hold, grabbed Bai Jue by the arm, and began to pull him out of the room.
âGo ahead, but donât lose and start crying.â
Bai Jue quickened his pace without resisting Jian Luoâs pull.
In a corner out of sight, the two exchanged triumphant smiles.
Now was the perfect time to escape. If Black Jack caught them, neither of them would be able to get away.
Black Jack watched the comical scene unfold before him, and as they neared the door, his eyebrows furrowed.
âStop!â
âStrange, did someone, just speak to us?â Bai Jue feigned confusion.
Jian Luo played along, shaking his head, âYou must be hallucinating.â
âJian Luo!â
The deep voice became even more icy.
Bai Jue cunningly pushed Jian Luo back with a chuckle.
âUh, your partner is calling you. Letâs have our fight another day, alright? Iâll be taking my leave now, no need to see me out.â
With that, he skedaddled out of the room, faster than a rabbit.
Jian Luo saw Bai Jueâs figure disappear from the doorway in no time, grinding his back teeth in anger.
Damn Bai Jue, he has no loyalty.
Feeling the fiery gaze on his back, piercing through him, Jian Luo reluctantly turned around with a forced smile.
âBlack Jack, itâs all Bai Jueâs fault. Next time I see him, Iâll teach him a lesson, I promise.â
He too was innocent, wasnât he?
Black Jack snorted lightly, âArenât you coming over here?â
Jian Luoâs eyes lit up. Was he not angry anymore?
âLuoluo, this isnât acceptable. You canât let Black Jack hold you sway. Donât forget, you are the one who will marry Black Jack.â Seeing Jian Luo sit next to Black Jack, Jian Qing playfully chimed in.
Jian Luo was silently embarrassed.
His sister really loved to play tricks on her own brother.
Black Jack glanced at the person next to him and said in a low voice, âJian Qing, I have already prepared my engagement gift.â
His implication: He was the one going to marry Jian Luo.
âEngagement gift?â Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, âI thought it should be a dowry.â
âSister, thereâs no hurry about this. You need to take care of your baby now, and then deliver a chubby little nephew for us.â Realizing the danger, Jian Luo quickly changed the topic.
âItâs a niece.â Quan Jingwu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Jian Luo scoffed, âHow can you be sure itâs a little princess?â
Although he too wanted his sister to have a cute little princess, he would prefer a little prince, just to show Quan Jingwu up.
âItâs a little princess.â Quan Jingwu furrowed his brows and emphasized.
Jian Qing was amused by his obstinacy, saying, âXiaojing, youâre being biased against having a son again.â
Quan Jingwu gazed at her, his large hand covering her head, and said sincerely, âShe will be our little darling.â
ââŠâ
Jian Qing and others struggled to suppress their amusement.
It seemed like they couldnât have a serious conversation anymore.
âBreak Lineâ
The night deepened, neon lights flickering in myriad colors, dazzling the eyes and muddling the heart.
Luxurious sedans entered and exited in front of Dihao Bar. The dazzling crowd that came and went could faintly hear the booming electronic music from the door.
Zhan Mingyan sat in the car, looking at the âDihaoâ sign hanging high in the distance, her eyes flickered with excitement.
She may have grown up in Beijing, but due to her grandfatherâs stern nature, she had never set foot in the famous Dihao Bar before.
âMingyan, what are you spacing out for? Get out of the car.â
Quan Yifei unbuckled her seat belt, noticing the woman beside her motionless and gently reminded her.
Zhan Mingyan responded and quickly followed Quan Yifei out of the car.
Once out of the car, Quan Yifei hooked her arm around Zhan Mingyanâs shoulder and boldly said, âLetâs go, my dear, I will let you have a party tonight.â
âYifei, donât mess up our plan by mentioning why we came here in front of my parents.â Zhan Mingyan warned.
Quan Yifei pounded her chest, saying, âDonât worry, my lips are sealed. This is my second brotherâs territory and nothing will happen. After all, weâre just here to attend a class reunion and will leave after a little while.â
Zhan Mingyan nodded and followed her in.
The flickering lights, the explosive electronic music, the dancing crowd, all kept Zhan Mingyan curiously looking around, her eyes sparkled bewitchingly.
âMingyan, follow me.â
Quan Yifei was quite familiar with Dihao Bar, having visited a few times.
She held Zhan Mingyanâs hand, they went upstairs to a private room.
The moment they entered, the many stares in the room turned toward them.
âYifei, Mingyan, youâre finally here.â
The woman sitting near the door stood up and gently pulled them in. Her warm voice was quite pleasing.
âWe were just waiting for you two, come sit over here.â
The music in the room echoed again, but no one continued to sing.
The previously lively atmosphere was slightly awkward now.
âYifei, you two are late, so you must drink a penalty first.â The one speaking was a female classmate who used to sit with Zhan Mingyan.
Quan Yifei and Zhan Mingyan complied without any pretense, each taking a glass, and downed it quickly.
