A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 28 I'm Sick

"I rely on!"

"Holy crap! No way? This actually works?"

The young men and women didn't think it was shameful for the young man in front of them to have been slapped; on the contrary, they were all astonished and full of admiration.

"Okay, you've got it."

The young men and women swarmed around him, and one of the young men even nudged him, giving him a thumbs-up and saying with great admiration.

The young man, slapped, saw stars and was instantly stunned. When he came to his senses, he felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been ironed. He quickly glanced back at Tang Qianqian's figure disappearing into the crowd, a smirk playing on his lips. In his heart, he thought fiercely, "Hmph, damn it! Nobody has ever dared to hit me in my life! You dare to hit me? Fine, you've got guts. I'll remember this slap. You wait, I'll make you pay a heavy price for it."

He immediately put on a smile and asked smugly, "How was it?"

Everyone else gave a thumbs up and answered in unison, "You're awesome!"

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Wen, you're something else! Do you even know who she is?" a girl said with a malicious smile.

The others asked in unison, "Who?"

"Her background is quite impressive! She is the heiress of the Tang Group—Tang Qianqian."

"hiss!"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

The young man who had been slapped by Tang Qianqian was Wen Bihua, the son of the CEO of Keyong Group. Everyone called him Young Master Wen. He immediately forgot the pain on his face and asked in surprise, "No way? She is Tang Qianqian, the heiress of Tang Group?"

"That's right, so she's got quite a background! Young Master Wen, I didn't expect you to kiss her, wow, impressive!"

Everyone looked at him with admiration again, and Wen Shao immediately felt incredibly proud, his gloom from the beating completely gone. He arrogantly said, "That's right." Then, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, a sinister smile playing on his lips: Tang Group, Tang Qianqian, no wonder she's so aloof. Good, good, just what I want. He smiled and said, "Then what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and transfer the money."

Naturally, no one objected, and everyone lowered their heads to start transferring money using their phones.

Tang Qianqian was already holding a grudge because of Chao Bufan's previous comment, "If there are any pretty girls, come." Now, she was inexplicably hugged and kissed by someone else. At this moment, Tang Qianqian's originally icy face was almost covered in ice crystals. She walked into the crowd, stood on tiptoe, glanced around, and then walked to the right.

"Hey? Qianqian, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Several girls were sitting at a long marble table drinking red wine. Seeing that Tang Qianqian looked unusually upset, as if she had been wronged, Huang Mengting asked in surprise.

Tang Qianqian sat down next to Huang Mengting, a flash of anger crossing her cold face, and said, "Don't even mention it, I ran into a lunatic when I came in just now."

Zhang Xiuli asked, "Who?"

"How would I know who he is?"

Tang Qianqian picked up a glass of red wine in front of her and gently swirled it. The wine rippled gently, like a young girl's lips with lipstick on, leaving a lingering aftertaste. Then, she took a small sip and asked, "Have Xiaoqin and the groom come out yet?"

"It can't be that fast, the young couple is upstairs getting ready! But it'll be quick though."

Li Wei chimed in, "Ladies, since it's still early, how about we play some games?"

Huang Mengting crossed her arms in front of her chest, gently swirling the wine glass in her right hand, and asked with a smile, "How do we play?"

Li Wei smiled calmly and said, "The dance is about to start. We're all single, so it's no fun just watching others dance. There are so many handsome single guys here, why don't we choose our own dance partners?"

Zhang Xiuli immediately agreed, saying meaningfully, "Hmm, that sounds quite interesting, I agree."

"Mengting, Qianqian, what about you?" Li Wei asked, tilting his head.

A sly glint flashed across Huang Mengting's face. She smiled slightly and said, "Of course I agree, but playing like this is too boring. We need to go big, preferably with some stakes."

"What kind of prize?" the others asked in unison.

“We…” Huang Mengting beckoned to Li Wei and the others with her finger, then whispered, “Like this…like this…”

"What?" Zhang Xiuli and Li Wei were both shocked. Li Wei exclaimed, "No way, Mengting, are you crazy about men? What if the other person has a girlfriend? Wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"

Huang Mengting raised the corners of her mouth and said coldly, "That depends on whether you have the ability. If you can snatch him away from other women, that's real skill."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow and said cautiously, "What if he does *that* and then just walks away?"

"Just pack up and leave? If that's all you're capable of, then you're just incredibly incompetent." Huang Mengting said very casually, as if it were nothing serious. "Besides, we're just looking for dance partners, just whetting these stinky men's appetites and seeing how many of them can't resist our temptations. Of course, if you insist on doing 'that' with him, then do as you please, but I certainly won't do that."

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison and said, "Okay, that's settled."

At this moment, Huang Mengting glanced at Tang Qianqian and noticed that Tang Qianqian's eyes had been scanning back and forth at the entrance of the hall ever since she sat down. She couldn't help but ask, puzzled, "Qianqian, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian quickly averted her gaze, smiled faintly with a hint of disappointment, and then said, "I didn't see anything." But in her heart, she cursed: Chao Bufan, you damned guy, how come you don't understand what I mean? Humph, if you really don't come, I will definitely not let you have an easy time in the future.

Over there, Chao Bufan leaned against the passenger side door, his left foot raised and resting on the door frame, his hands in his pockets, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips. He would occasionally take a puff and exhale the smoke. However, his gaze remained fixed on the enormous cruise ship ahead.

After finishing his cigarette, he threw the butt on the ground, stomped it out, and then walked toward the cruise ship.

He didn't want to stand there in the blazing sun. He knew that Tang Qianqian's original intention was to have him attend her classmate's wedding with her, but he couldn't stand her arrogant and slow-paced personality, so he deliberately wanted to banter with her. He just didn't expect her to be so easily teased.

"Haqiu!"

Suddenly, Chao Bufan yawned and cursed under his breath: "Damn it! Who the hell is so wicked as to curse me behind my back?"
