“Yes,”Qin Ming was a sensible man, making way for Shu Ning. The people that he brought immediately put on a big smile and said thank you boss, thank you chairman and whatnot, they were overjoyed, who didn’t like it when their boss’s treating them, right?

The entertainment centre opened by Hong Rui was the most advanced in the capital. It was incomparably luxurious, bright and colourful, and had deafening music that made the crowd go crazy......

Shu Heng was very strict with him so subconsciously Shu Ning would not come to such places so it was quite interesting. It wasn’t like he was an old man so it was natural for him to enjoy being in these places frequented by youngsters where they had fun together, Shu Ning was not exempt from that either. There was a bunch of alcohol in front of him and rays of colourful light were flashing past around the place, adding a touch of glamour to the night.

Shu Ning extended a hand, wanting to take a glass of cocktail, and Hong Rui didn’t notice. But as soon as Shu Ning’s hand turned, he picked up a whiskey that had high alcohol content. Hong Rui couldn’t take that sitting down, but he just didn’t show it on his face. He smiled very deeply:”Young master Shu, do you want your big brother you haul you back? Oh~ It seems you’re planning on staying here. Well that’s true, this place is one of my best money spending spots after all, it’s normal even if Young Master Shu feels inclined to not leave.”

it was useless to use radical methods, adding on his age from his previous life, Shu Ning was older than Hong Rui. But he had already achieved his purpose, Hong Rui had been paying attention to him, it proved that he had something to do with Shu Heng. Shu Ning’s mind was very clear in this lifetime, it was natural that he wouldn’t drink:”If that’s the case, thank you for your hospitality,”Shu Ning picked up a glass of orange juice and took a sip, looking leisurely at the outside.

This so-called “spending spot” was not an exaggeration at all, there was probably a minimum consumption of ten thousand yuans here in Hong Rui’s place, pretty much all the beauties here were at least a meter and seventy centimetres tall, each with a slender body and their own merits, they were drop-dead gorgeous, they had that air around them, foreign language skills, academic qualifications, and everything else without a single one lacking, the ones who worked here were all girls who liked money, good girls wouldn’t appear here. Any smart person would know that you come here to have a good time, not to get emotional. While the girls would naturally kiss up to the rich, then they wouldn’t have a want for anything for the rest of their life. After all, there would always be several wealthy men who were willing to believe those sweet words and their tragedies, abandoning their wives that truly loved them and marry himself a whore.

Shu Ning waited, and he waited, tapping his fingers on his legs on purpose. Hong Rui narrowed his eyes and called the manager over, said a few words in his ears, and after leaving for a long while, the manager received again, speaking about something at Hong Rui’s ear. Hong Rui was an extremely wicked man, but they were all protective measures, nobody could tell what he really thought, but Shu Ning could guess a part of it. He reckoned that the problem lies in Wang Cong.

Hong Rui specially brought Shu Ning over to see them, but he wasn’t brought out, wasn’t this just a face slapping?

Shu Ning kept his head down calmly and took a sip of alcohol, no matter why Wang Cong did not get on the stage, his days had already reached its end.

Actually, Wang Cong’s self-respect and pride had already been beaten to dust a long time ago, don’t even mention asking him to dance, he was even willing to crawl to his customers’ legs and give them some extra service.

With what Wang Cong had, it was no problem for him to be popular for a year, there had been countless wealthy men who wanted to buy him, but Hong Rui wouldn’t allow it, he could only mingle amongst the endless stream of customers. But if you were popular, did you think other people wouldn’t want the same? They say that women stir up a lot of trouble, but the tactics used by men were even worse. This was Wang Cong’s big day today, he was the spotlight of the day, but since he came out with everyone from the dressing room, the lights suddenly went out. For a while everything was in a mess, and nobody knew who pushed who, but they had all pretty much fallen down, the ones who didn’t fall had also laid down on the floor for fear of getting into trouble.

Wang Cong had been tripped over by someone, falling heavily on the ground, but this wasn’t the end of it. Nobody knew who it was that was so sinister that they stepped on his ankle, and at that time he couldn’t help but scream out in pain, it hurt every time he touched it and it was so swollen that it was shocking. The light was back on, everybody was stumbling. They helped each other up, comforting each other, while Wang Cong had been sent to the medical room on the fourth floor because of his injury.

The medic they had hired shook his head after checking him:”Your bones may be broken, let’s send you to a hospital.”

Wang Cong’s face had turned even whiter. Who on earth was the bastard that did this to me? It was done very neatly so he didn’t even know whether there were any witnesses. Wang Cong sunk his head down, and his eyes were very disconsolate. Right at this time, the manager suddenly brought a person over:”Don’t go just yet, carry him and follow me.”

Wang Cong was stunned and he didn’t understand what was going on, but he could only suppress his unease, keeping his mouth shut, he was already accustomed to following orders.

Hong Rui has been seeing Wang Cong only quite rarely these days, and even seeing him now, and Wang Cong didn’t feel anything anymore when he saw him now. Was it hate? Maybe not just yet, but when he saw that Shu Ning was present in the private room, he immediately stood up in a forbidding manner and walked forward, not caring about his foot injury. But he was given a hefty slap by the manager, throwing him to the ground, what he scolded him about after that, Wang Cong couldn’t hear, he only wished to speak with Shu Ning.

He was no fool, the reason his life was what it is now was all Shu Ning’s doing, he had to ask why, didn’t he?

The crowd outside of the transparent pane of glass were filled with enthusiasm, swaying madly, the atmosphere in and outside of the private room was like heaven and hell, it even felt slightly constrained.

Hong Rui raised his hand, signalling the manager to stop. He picked up a glass of red wine, turning it in his hands, he really liked this scarlet shade, it was just like blood.

Wang Cong finally had a chance to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood that showed very clearly against his snowy white teeth, it was ironic, the manager actually hit him so hard that he lost a tooth, it was terrible. Wang Cong was ashamed, but when he stood up with the help of the coffee table, trembling, a glow in his eyes showed his unwillingness to bear this grievance. The hatred spread in his heart and his eyes were bloodshot from anger:”Shu Ning.”

Shu Ning did not even look at Wang Cong.

“Why are you targeting me?”For Wang Cong to fall to this point was related to his own doing, but it was related to Hong Rui as well, Shu Ning really hadn’t laid down his worst, but Wang Cong seems to have pinned all the blame on Shu Ning, he wanted to get rid of him. As for Hong Rui, Wang Cong wouldn’t even dare to think about it, he was too strong. Wang Cong gritted his teeth and shot him a sharp glare:”What on earth have I done that you would do this to me? Say something!”You rat! Shameless.

Only then did Shu Ning raise his hand, looking at him with indifference as if he did not take the person in front of him seriously at all:”No reason.”

“What?”Wang Cong was stunned, he couldn’t accept this.

Shu Ning shot him a tender smile:”I just didn’t like looking at you.”

“That’s......it?”

“Mm.”

“Don’t you think this is too much? Do you know how I’ve been living? I even......Shu Ning, you’re inhumane.”

“But the one who put you in all this pain is Hong Rui, wasn’t it?”Shu Ning shook his head sarcastically, he was quite pleased:”I look like an easy target, don’t I? If not, why don’t you go and hate him instead?”

Hong Rui laughed loudly and suddenly came close to Shu Ning, a dazzling light glowing in his eyes:”That’s because he doesn’t know your power.”

Wang Cong didn’t know where the courage came from either, but he felt that it was a chance when Hong Rui spoke with Shu Ning. Nobody was paying attention to themselves, and in an instant a bottle of XO flew towards them. This bottle was quite heavy so even if you didn’t break your skull from the hit, you would still get a concussion, the tragic end of it could be imagined. Two men suddenly stood up from behind Shu Ning, and one of them extended their arm. Only a “smash” could be heard right when the bottle burst into pieces, while the other man took of his coat, covering Shu Ning’s front with it. All the pieces of glass fell to the ground and they were unscathed, the two bodyguards did not make eye contact and they did not speak, but they cooperated silently with each other. These were the men assigned to Shu Ning by Shu Heng, they were top elite professionals in the country, so naturally they were out of the ordinary.

But......No matter how well they worked together, he had still received a fright from it.

Although the bottle did not hit Shu Ning, the sound of the wind could be heard and the impact blew his hair up, for an instant Shu Ning thought that his face would be cut by the glass to quite a sight, though he felt very gloomy in his heart. But Shu Ning did not even blink, he was as calm as Mount Tai, even his voice was as still and charming as usual:”If you don’t pull out the tiger’s teeth, they’ll end up hurting someone.”

“Tiger? Where? That’s just a little mouse,”Hong Rui’s face was dark for a moment, Wang Cong could be considered capable for him to be able to put a change on his face. Hong Rui smiled but it was very dark and terrifying:”But Young Master Shu is right, I am learning.”

The manager was used to such sights so he immediately understood what they meant, and ordered someone to take Wang Cong out, he didn’t need to appear on stage anymore in the future, it’s better for him to just do some special work. Some customers liked new things better, and during their play, the things they would do were even more plentiful and strange. Naturally, if you were doing business, you had to cater to what they wanted, Hong Rui wasn’t a good man so it was no burden to him at all earning money from such things, he was completely different from both Shu Ning and Shu Heng.

Wang Cong screamed the whole way, and was hauled off after someone covered his mouth and knocked him unconscious, leaving a trail of blood on the floor. On that night, he lost all of his teeth so he could only wear false teeth if he wanted to eat, and his clients wouldn’t have to worry about his teeth hurting their precious anymore when receiving service.

Shu Ning had seen a lot, but the main point was still to give Hong Rui some face. If he left out of angry earlier, it would’ve hurt their relationship. Hong Rui had changed to a different way to make Shu Ning happy, and it wasn’t until twelve o’clock nearly hit that Shu Ning finally left with his bodyguards. Wang Cong wasn’t doing well and wanted to kill him, while Shu Ning’s mind was filled with thoughts, he wasn’t very happy.

When he returned home, the large space was very quiet. It was very difficult without Shu Heng, but just as Shu Ning was about to head upstairs, he was suddenly hugged from behind. He yelped and was pressed down by the big man on the sofa. Shu Ning quickly threw a tantrum:”Brother! What are you doing? Can’t you be a bit more normal?”I nearly pissed myself don’t you know?

“Are you alright?”Shu Heng had also gotten a fright, he flew over immediately as soon as he received news of Shu Ning’s attack, but thankfully Shu Ning was fine, if not he didn’t know whether he would’ve gone mad or not.

Hearing his words, Shu Ning had now become quiet. He pressed his hand on Shu Heng’s chest, feeling the intense heartbeat of the man. Even someone as strong as Shu Heng would still have fears, he actually rushed over to see him out of worry as soon as I came into danger, Shu Ning was very touched and quickly rushed over to nudge Shu Heng’s chin:”I’m fine, you can touch for yourself.”

“Alright.”

Shu Heng was a doer not a dreamer, he knew that Shu Ning didn’t like making sounds in the living room so he quickly carried him upstairs and pulled the curtains shut. After taking his clothes off piece by piece, he checked him carefully. Shu Ning’s skin was snowy white and as clear as crystals, it was tender and supple to the touch with not a single part that wasn’t beautiful, there were no bumps on his body, it was slender and perfect.

He was relieved. Shu Heng sighed and picked up the bashful Shu Ning to the bathroom to wash up. Shu Heng didn’t let go even after getting into the water, and his voice was very husky:”Don’t go to that sort of place anymore in the future.”That place stank of cigarettes and wasn’t safe, if you wanted to look at a pretty boy, then you just have to look at me.

“Okay,”

“Don’t think about him anymore.”

“Okay,”Shu Ning knew that Wang Cong was who Shu Heng meant, it seems that Shu Heng was going to make his move, Wang Cong’s end was definitely going to be a million times worse. Shu Ning can finally rest assured:”Brother, you’re the best.”

“If you know that then stay with me forever.”

“Mm, you have to stay with me forever too.”

“Forever, I’ll come for you in my next life, and I won’t let you suffer even a little,”Shu Heng wasn’t joking, he was very serious.

Although he didn’t know whether he would have a next life or not, but Shu Ning had still heard Shu Heng’s heartfelt words. His face was slightly red and his heart was beating fast, he was very emotional:”Brother, love me!”

Notes:

If y’all don’t drink alcohol and wondering what XO is, it’s a famous brand of cognac/brandy usually bottled in really fancy but super heavy bottles with thick glass, you could throw it half across the room and it may not even crack fully it’s tough stuff, don’t try it I”m not cleaning your floor for you (as for why it broke i dont think the author has seen a bottle of XO in real life)
