The other three men automatically silenced themselves and quietly watched the scene unfolding before them while occasionally exchanging meaningful and intrigued glances.
They had never seen He Jingyao interacting with women, and it was indeed a novel and interesting sight to see.
This was especially since this was a scene wherein He Jingyao was clearly flirting with the lady.
He actually seemed pretty skilled.
“I didn’t know that this lad is quite gifted in this regard,” Huo Yanzhao commented.
Huo Yanhui nodded. “Looks like he did learn quite a few tricks about flirting with girls from me over the years.”
However, Yun Shenhan’s expression was rather ugly. He stared fixedly at the two and his expression seemed dark and gloomy.
He was handsome and elegant. Moreover, he had the best temper out of them four and rarely revealed such a look.
Huo Yanzhao turned toward him, wanting to discuss the show before them together. Unexpectedly, he noticed him acting in this unusual manner.
He widened his eyes in shock.
Suddenly, Yun Shenhan picked up his glass and downed the cocktail. He then slowly regained his usual tranquility.
“They’re leaving,” he softly reminded.
Huo Yanzhao then shifted his gaze onto the couple. Indeed, He Jingyao was holding on to Su Zhixi’s wrist and heading toward the door.
“Hey, why are they leaving?!” Huo Yanhui had been excitedly watching on and expressed his displeasure when he noticed their departure.
He could understand the urgency He Jingyao felt, but since he had already brought her here, wasn’t it too rude of him to not introduce them? He even brought her out without giving them a heads up!
He is too much! This fellow who prioritizes love over brothers!
At the risk of getting taken revenge on by He Jingyao, he stood up and moved to stop them, but he was tripped by his own elder brother and almost fell down.
He turned to glare daggers at his elder brother. “What? Don’t tell me you don’t want to get to know that woman?”
“No need. Shenhan must know her, and they should be quite familiar with each other.” Huo Yanzhao placed his glass down on the table and stared at Yun Shenhan. “Am I right?”
Acutely sensing that the atmosphere was a little queer, Huo Yanhui obediently shut his mouth immediately.
Yun Shenhan finally spoke. “That girl is one of Xuefei’s juniors. She was looking for a part-time job initially and Xuefei introduced her here. Xuefei said that she is a good girl and warned me to not attempt anything, so I have never made any moves on her.”
Su Zhixi moved his heart, but she was not someone he could touch anyhow. Hence, he merely protected her from the shadows and did not express anything to her.
Huo Yanzhao gave him a deep look. “But she is already Jingyao’s woman now.”
Yun Shenhan’s voice turned a little hoarse. “I know.”
Ignoring the fact that he merely had some feelings for her, if Su Zhixi was the only woman He Jingyao could get close to in the world, then even if she were already his, he might not even last until the end.
He understood with perfect clarity what Huo Yanzhao meant; hence, he would only bury these feelings deep inside his heart.
Still… The bit of feelings he had originally thought he possessed had already turned into deep regret and bitterness upon his learning that he would never have the chance to be with her.
He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Half an hour later, Su Zhixi found out that the supposed “next door” was actually a hotel next to the Four Seasons Bar!
She had assumed that it was next door to the private room!
She felt as though she had been cheated, but when she saw how aloof Young Master He was, she felt that she was just overanalyzing the situation again…
No matter what, watching the CCTV footage was more important. She had to get evidence to expose Su Lianxi’s true face!
If Ning Yichen found out that Su Lianxi was not as innocent and naive as he thought, would he perhaps believe Su Zhixi?
When she thought of this, she courageously followed Young Master He into the Presidential Suite of the hotel.
The bodyguards then left their posts in an orderly way.
He Jingyao walked into the living room and unbuttoned his shirt while asking, “Do you want to take a shower and change into comfortable clothes first?”
Under the warm lighting, his smile seemed very refined and bewitching.
She was stunned for an instant.
She had to admit that He Jingyao was exceptionally and overtly handsome… Every movement of his naturally exuded very strong pheromones.
His perfectly-crafted features made a huge impact, and just a single look could make one breathless.
She took a deep breath to call her mind back to herself, then hurriedly shook her head.
It was only after that that she registered a thought: They were only here to watch the CCTV footage, so why did he suggest that she take a shower and change into comfortable clothes?
