Lu Beiting drank one glass of wine after another, but even the strongest liquor couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart.

Xiao Si chirped over, "So, so, so? Did you see anyone you liked?"

Lu Beiting: "Not interested."

Xiao Si was greatly disappointed and waved his hand dismissively, telling the group of girls to leave.

He swirled his wine glass and offered a reasoned analysis:

"Maybe it's because your ex-girlfriend took your virginity that you can't forget her. Maybe after trying it with someone else, you'll find it's not all that great?"

Lu Beiting turned to look at him calmly, his face expressionless, with a faint sense of death about him, and said, "I can't stand up to others."

Xiao Si: "..."

Dude, that's really bad.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the person in charge pushed in an exquisite nine-tiered cake for Xiao Si, his face beaming with smiles:

"Young Master Xiao, this cake was specially made for you by hand. Next, we have a musical performance prepared just for you."

"Alright, let's begin," Xiao Si replied casually.

Lu Beiting showed little interest in this. He casually placed his wine glass on the obsidian table, picked up a suit jacket draped over his shoulder, and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Si gaped in surprise, pleading, "What! You're leaving already? That's unethical, buddy! I haven't even blown out my birthday candles yet!"

"Something came up at the company." The man didn't even turn his head, his expression as indifferent and cold as ever.

Xiao Si deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping onto the sofa in frustration. "Alright then."

After all, Lu Beiting is a workaholic. In just a few years, he took charge of the Lu Group, expanded into the European and American markets, and carved out a bloody path for himself. His methods are ruthless, decisive, and efficient.

Once it comes to work, it's no use trying to keep him around.

The waiter respectfully opened the door to the private room for Lu Beiting and welcomed him as he left.

At the same time, a row of young women playing music were walking in this direction.

Lin Qian was arranged by the manager to walk at the front. She was wearing a light blue silk dress, holding a violin in her hand, and had a slender figure.

The manager warned them in a low voice, "Everyone in this private room is a big shot, rich and powerful. Anyone who dares to offend them will never be able to work here again. Do whatever they say, understand?"

"Understood." The group nodded obediently.

Lin Qian lowered her head and was about to enter when a tall and familiar figure suddenly rushed in front of her.

The first thing you see is the man's shiny, expensive leather shoes and his well-tailored black suit trousers, which accentuate his mature masculine charm.

As he slowly ascended, he was dressed in a suit and tie, his dark-patterned tie perfectly pressed, exuding an air of nobility and composure, with a strong sense of pressure emanating from him.

Lin Qian couldn't help but look up.

The man's exquisitely handsome face came into view, with three-dimensional features and deep, dark phoenix eyes, making him extremely attractive.

Their eyes met unexpectedly.

Lu Beiting just looked at her with his eyes downcast and his face expressionless, showing no emotion.

Time seemed to have been suddenly paused.

Lin Qian's breath hitched, her movements instantly stiffened, and her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, making it impossible for her to move.

Lu Beiting… what’s he doing here? Could he be the so-called big boss?!

Lin Qian felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart tightly, making it difficult to even breathe.

Anyone would feel awkward encountering their ex in this situation.

Lu Beiting merely glanced at her casually with his eyes lowered before turning his gaze away and leaving indifferently.

It was as if he didn't know her at all.

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly lowered her head, and strode into the private room.

The person in charge is fawningly introducing the repertoire.

Xiao Si listened without paying much attention, and when he looked up, he happened to see a particularly beautiful woman in the crowd.

Wait a minute, why does this person's face look so familiar?

No way? That can't be right!!

Xiao Si quickly asked the person in charge for the information, and his eyes widened instantly when he saw the name.

Holy crap, Lin... Lin Qian!

Isn't this just someone dumping their ex-girlfriend?

Xiao Si was still in shock when, unexpectedly, a tall figure entered from outside the door the next second.

Lu Beiting sat back down next to him, his legs crossed in a dignified and languid manner, leaning back leisurely on the sofa.

Xiao Si looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost. "Brother, why are you back again? Didn't you say there was something going on at the company?!"

Lu Beiting said indifferently, "Oh, nothing's wrong again."

Xiao Si: "..."

The music began to play softly.

Lin Qian began to play the violin, her posture was perfect, her demeanor elegant, and the music melodious and graceful.

Today, her hair was styled in an updo, and she wore a light blue silk slip dress. The dress was made of very thin and soft fabric that clung perfectly to her body, accentuating her graceful figure.

The long skirt features a high slit, subtly revealing long, slender legs that are captivating and alluring.

Her performance was pure yet subtly alluring, making her stand out among the female performers.

A wealthy young man sitting next to her immediately brightened up, staring at her with great interest, his gaze lingering on her legs.

Lu Beiting's expression instantly turned cold.

The music ended.

The wealthy young man smiled and leaned closer, asking, "Brother Lu, is there anything you're interested in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girls present were thrilled and all turned their eyes to the most distinguished man in the center of the sofa, hoping that they would be chosen.

Only Lin Qian felt a chill run down her spine. She lowered her head, silently keeping her eyes down, trying to minimize her presence.

She felt a burning gaze pressing heavily on her head.

After a long while, that sharp gaze finally left her mercilessly.

Lu Beiting replied indifferently, "Not interested."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," the rich young man said, pointing directly at Lin Qian and ordering, "You, come here and pour me some wine."

Lin Qian hesitated for a few seconds, but under the warning look of the person in charge, she had no choice but to slowly walk up to the man, bow and scrape, and pour him a glass of expensive Scottish vodka.

"Sir, please have a drink."

She raised her wine glass, her voice gentle and clear, like a lingering, comfortable breeze from Jiangnan.

The wealthy young man accepted the wine glass without hesitation, but when he reached out, he deliberately touched Lin Qian's slender fingers.

It has a smooth and delicate feel.

His smile deepened.

Lu Beiting's cold gaze swept over their intertwined fingers, then he expressionlessly looked away.

Xiao Si sat next to Lu Beiting, trembling, his heart screaming wildly:

Why the hell did you have to pick someone's ex-girlfriend?!

you are done!

But the rich kid had no idea that he was completely absorbed in the moment, his eyes glued to Lin Qian.

"How old are you?"

Lin Qian unconsciously moved back a little, lowered her head and said, "23 years old."

The wealthy young man slowly approached her. "You're quite young, and you play the violin quite well. Where did you study before? Did you study art?"

"I used to study computer science at Imperial City University."

Imperial University?

A guy nearby immediately reacted, "Hey, what a coincidence! He's about the same age as our Brother Lu, and they even went to the same university? Alumni!"

Lin Qian's brow twitched, and she didn't dare to look in that direction.

"Alright, alright," Xiao Si frantically signaled to them with his eyes to stop talking.

But there are always some people who are as stupid as a pig and don't understand what he means, laughing and joking:

"I thought everyone at Imperial University was a bookworm, but I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful girl there! Brother Lu, have you seen her before?"

Xiao Si was devastated, internally screaming: "I've not only seen you, I've slept with you, okay?!"

Everyone looked at Lu Beiting with curiosity.

Lu Beiting didn't even lift his eyelids; his eyes were devoid of warmth, and his voice was exceptionally distant.

"Never seen it before, don't know it."
