Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

The two chose a private room, and Ruan Chenzhou helped Su Nanqin pull out the back of her chair.

Su Nanqin did not refuse and sat down accordingly.

Ruan Chenzhou has always been like this; he can make some details almost perfect, making them irresistible.

Ruan Chenzhou sat down opposite him, relaxing his posture: "What would you like to drink? The usual Lafite or brandy?"

Su Nanqin was stunned for a moment. Lu Fang never let him drink alcohol, and he would even be scolded if he did.

"Lafite?" Ruan Chenzhou reminded him when he saw him in a daze.

Su Nanqin came to his senses. It had only been half a year, but he seemed to have already gotten used to a different way of doing things.

"Château Lafite Rothschild, perhaps?" Sunanchin suggested.

"Okay, this is fine. Your stomach isn't good, so drink less later." Ruan Chenzhou called over a waiter and brought a bottle of Lafite.

Although Su Nanqin had grown up accustomed to Ruan Chenzhou's elder-like relationship, she suddenly felt that something was off.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The room was too hot from the heating, so Ruan Chenzhou took off his coat and handed it to the waiter. He then looked at Su Nanqin and teased, "What's wrong? It's been months, and you've stopped calling me 'Brother Chenzhou'?"

"No, Brother Chenzhou." Su Nanqin also took off his coat; it was still a bit hot.

He then unbuttoned two of his shirt buttons.

Ruan Chenzhou's gaze fell on the other person's beautiful collarbone, and above that was the distinct jawline.

It was moved away in an instant.

He poured half a glass for Su Nanqin, then filled his own glass: "Don't drink too much, just a few sips."

Ruan Chenzhou is also very good at taking care of people, but unlike Lu Fang, she handles everything perfectly.

It will not offend Su Nanqin.

Su Nanqin looked at the half-full glass of Lafite in front of him, but what he was thinking about was Lu Fang's tense face because of his drinking.

Ruan Chenzhou noticed Su Nanqin's absent-mindedness tonight. "What's wrong? Has your insomnia gotten worse lately?"

"No." Su Nanqin shook his head. Lu Fang had coaxed him very well, and he hadn't stayed up all night for a long time.

"During my trip to the United States, I specifically consulted several well-known sleep experts in the industry, and they believe there are still solutions."

Ruan Chenzhou took a small sip and said, "Last time I asked you to come with me, but you were busy with the company and didn't go. This time, you have to go and see for yourself. Dragging it out won't solve anything."

Su Nanqin hesitated for a moment; he still had concerns.

Ruan Chenzhou had always known that Su Nanqin was reluctant to see a doctor, and he became somewhat serious: "Nanqin, how long are you planning to put this off? As long as you go, I'm always available to accompany you, so don't be afraid."

In the past, if Ruan Chenzhou had said that, Su Nanqin would definitely have gone.

But right now, all he could think about was Lu Fang. "I'm sorry, Brother Chenzhou, I don't want to go for now. I'll think about it."

Su Nanqin rarely refused Ruan Chenzhou.

Ruan Chenzhou glanced at Su Nanqin, who was always good at striking a balance. He sighed and stopped pressuring him: "Okay, you can come to me anytime you've decided."

The two didn't talk much; work wasn't appropriate in this setting. However, Ruan Chenzhou kept intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation back to Su Nanqin's childhood.

Su Nanqin doesn't really like reminiscing about his childhood. When Ruan Chenzhou brought it up, he leaned back in his chair and sipped his wine absentmindedly.

The private room had a great atmosphere. Su Nanqin liked warm colors, so Ruan Chen also adjusted the colors to warm colors.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Nanqin felt slightly tipsy, and her originally fair face was flushed under the warm yellow light.

Ruan Chenzhou knew that the other party was a little drunk. Su Nanqin never drank too much with him when they went out.

They often quickly develop a slightly tipsy state, making them look even more beautiful and captivating.

Ruan Chenzhou admitted that he made Su Nanqin drink for his own selfish reasons. Although he treated Su Nanqin like a younger brother and protected him, Su Nanqin only relied on him and consulted him on certain matters.

But no one could resist Su Nanqin, which is why he kept quiet all this time.

It was because he didn't know whether Su Nanqin's affection for him was simply because she regarded him as a brother, or whether she harbored other intentions like him.

He didn't say anything before because he didn't want to disrupt the peace, but this time he returned to China.

He heard that Su Nanqin had actually kept Ruan Qi as a concubine, and even had another man with him.

He didn't care who it was, and he knew that Su Nanqin usually wouldn't fall in love easily.

But this also reminded him that he couldn't delay any longer.

Su Nanqin was a little drunk and was still holding the wine glass to his lips.

Ruan Chenzhou stood up slightly and placed his hand on Su Nanqin's hand to stop him from drinking: "Stop drinking, Nanqin, you're drunk."

Su Nanqin was still conscious, his gaze fixed on the hand the other person was holding, lost in thought.

Ruan Chenzhou's hands were also slender and delicate, completely different from Lu Fang's powerful and wild beauty.

He was somewhat lost in thought.

Previously, Ruan Chenzhou had a kind of respect that was different from others. He couldn't distinguish this feeling, and only felt that if he really wanted to find someone, Brother Chenzhou would be just right.

From childhood to adulthood, only Brother Chenzhou has ever protected her, even going so far as to oppose Su Xiangming for her sake.

Su Nanqin thought he liked Shen Zhou. But he never said it because Shen Zhou always treated him like a younger brother.

He also maintained a proper distance without overstepping the bounds.

But when the other party came back, his mind was filled with Lu Fang, and even after Lu Fang came into his life, he never thought of Ruan Chenzhou again.

But now, for a marriage alliance, even if it's just an act, Ruan Chenzhou would be the best choice.

Having sufficient power to protect themselves and matching family background capital will not arouse suspicion, even though it is a win-win cooperation.

However, this inevitably involves some element of exploitation, and regardless, Su Nanqin still intends to clarify things with the other party when necessary.

"Nan Qin?" Ruan Chenzhou thought he was drunk.

Su Nanqin paused for a moment, then subtly withdrew his hand.

Ruan Chenzhou paused for a moment, then changed her posture to help him up.

The moment the other person's hand touched hers, Su Nanqin stiffened uncomfortably.

He has always disliked being touched or having close contact with people.

He thought he wouldn't dislike Ruan Chenzhou's touch, but his body's subconscious reaction couldn't lie.

From this perspective, he simply didn't mind Lu Fang's contact.

This time, Ruan Chenzhou did not do as the other party wished, and instead helped the person up, saying, "You're drunk, I'll help you back."

"I can manage on my own, Brother Chenzhou." Su Nanqin was still trying to move away.

"What? Your steps are unsteady. Listen to me, I'll take you home." Ruan Chenzhou asked the waiter to bring the clothes.

Su Nanqin did not refuse again; he never refused Brother Shenzhou.

In other words, he won't reject someone who is genuinely good to him.

Ruan Chenzhou looked at the person in his arms with a sense of helplessness.

He was actually very confident that he could win over Su Nanqin. It wasn't that he was a bad person, but that Su Nanqin was too starved for love and too lacking in people who were good to her.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a simple candy would be enough to appease them.

Based on their mutual support and friendship over the past decade, Su Nanqin wouldn't actually refuse.

Su Nanqin may seem cold and hard, but he is actually the most soft-hearted and sentimental person.

He knew that Su Nanqin didn't understand love, and even if she agreed, she might not be able to distinguish between feelings.

However, he was confident that he could teach the other person.

Ruan Chenzhou had arranged for a designated driver in advance.

The black Maybach stopped in the front yard. Lu Fang heard the sound and came out to greet him, "You're back, Nan..."

Lu Fang's words were caught in his throat by the scene before him.

The tall, gentlemanly man in front of him opened the other car door for Su Nanqin, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and said, "Nanqin, slow down."

Su Nanqin was slightly tipsy, his gaze falling on the hand on his shoulder. In any case, the other party had never had such intentions, and refusing would only seem awkward.

So he went down with him, and what Lu Fang saw was: a man in a suit and tie helping Su Nanqin, who was also in a suit and tie, out of the car.

His first reaction was that he had been cuckolded by the refined young man in front of him!

"Who is he?" Lu Fang's face immediately fell.

Su Nanqin seemed surprised that Lu Fang would come to pick him up at the door today. He saw Lu Fang's calm face and Ruan Chenzhou's hand still on his body.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to clap my hands first or explain first.

The usually sensible Ruan Chenzhou, however, had his arm around Su Nanqin today and was observing Lu Fang with an indifferent expression.

The chaotic scene was brewing. Lu Fang looked back at him, clenching his fist beside him, but still remembered to control his temper.

Then they turned their attention to Su Nanqin.

Su Nanqin felt a chill run down his spine under that intense gaze. If she was this jealous just from that, he couldn't imagine what it would be like if she actually said those words.

This is how enraged they can become.

"Brother Chenzhou, please let me go. I can manage." Su Nanqin looked at Ruan Chenzhou, who was behaving strangely today.

Ruan Chenzhou loosened his grip the moment the other person finished speaking, then seized the initiative: "Nan Qin, who is this?"

Lu Fang's eyes grew even darker, and the veins on his hand hanging by his side stood out. However, having learned his lesson before, he still respected Su Nanqin's feelings and did not lash out on the spot.

In his eyes, the person in front of him was very obedient to Su Nanqin and then asked him who he was.

Lu Fang looked at Su Nanqin with a tense atmosphere.

Su Nanqin looked at Lu Fang, introducing and explaining at the same time: "He is my boyfriend, Lu Fang, also known as Brother Chenzhou."

Lu Fang's expression softened slightly, but he tensed up again when he heard Su Nanqin say, "This is my childhood friend, Ruan Chenzhou."

What childhood friend? He clearly has ill intentions.

Ruan Chenzhou, however, sized up Lu Fang for a moment before extending a hand and offering a professional, polite smile: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu. I'm very grateful for your care of Nanqin these past few days."

Lu Fang, dressed in a black windbreaker, casually put one hand in his pocket and looked at the person in front of him.

After a long while, even Su Nanqin took a deep breath.

Lu Fang casually extended a hand, patted it dismissively, and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm his man, this is what I should do."

The approach is rather childish, but it inexplicably looks cool when applied to Lu Fang.

They even deliberately emphasized the word "man".

Ruan Chenzhou seemed to have never seen a troublemaker like Lu Fang before. He paused in mid-air with his outstretched hand before finally giving an awkward smile and withdrawing it.
