Chapter 828: Love Starting from a Breakup 17

~7 min read 1,322 words

Ding dong.

The notification sound made Qiao Xu, who was dazed lying in bed, hurriedly pick up his phone.

Jin Chen: Nothing, go to sleep early.

The heart that had been hanging since arriving at the Huo family Zhuang Yuan finally let go.

Qiao Xu pursed his lips, applied another layer of ointment to himself, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Before falling asleep, he still silently thought.

No wonder Jin Chen agreed to break up with him.

He's not good at all, always leaving Jin Chen alone.

Although he knew perhaps Gu He had a hand in it, Young Master Qiao rarely looked for the cause within himself.

Of course, he didn't find anything either.

——

Another two days passed.

Jin Chen had been busy wrapping up the casino affairs, so he wouldn't need to come over frequently anymore.

So he couldn't attend to other matters.

Until one night, 0731 reminded him.

【Host, there's good news and bad news; which would you like to hear?】

【……Bad news.】

At this moment, Jin Chen was resting in the soft leather Sofa; the consecutive days of nonstop work had left him somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, he had also sustained some injuries.

【Bad news is, the protagonist dragged the Main God into a nightclub to mess around, ostensibly to help the Main God get over his heartbreak from a breakup.】

【……】

Jin Chen's aura instantly turned cold.

【Good news?】

【Good news, there are not just them in the private room, but many others, so nothing should happen for now.】

0731 expressed great satisfaction.

What kind of good news is this exactly?

Jin Chen rolled his eyes and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

"Yo, busy Jin Chen, have you finished your affairs over there?"

"Dusk Nightclub."

"No, you're sick, just finished busy and going to a nightclub?"

"Just come with me, why all the nonsense?"

Facing his good brother, Jin Chen's sharp tongue spared no moment.

"Alright, alright, I'm really impressed with you."

Meanwhile, inside the nightclub private room.

Today, all the young masters in the private room were well-behaved.

The reason was none other than that Young Master Qiao is precious, cannot tolerate smoke, and finds loud music annoying.

The private room was so quiet it seemed almost health-promoting.

But they hadn't forgotten today's most important task: helping Qiao Xu get over his breakup.

Just sitting like this won't do.

"Go, call a few of the best-looking male models to accompany him, remember they must be good-looking!"

The bartender who was called out already knew all the young masters in the private room, but this person who came today he had never seen before, and he sat there silently the whole time.

One could immediately guess that the person to be served was him, so he promptly went out to call someone.

He's so good-looking, his taste must be picky too! We definitely need to find a better one!

"I say, Young Master Qiao, you should at least have a drink today; coming out to play is no fun otherwise."

The person who just spoke was named Jin Chengtian; presumably he's the playful type in the circle, so today he took on the responsibility of livening the atmosphere, but unfortunately Young Master Qiao is too delicate, and he almost killed the vibe.

"Yeah, Xiao Xu, don't sit there foolishly, come have a drink."

Gu He took a cup of wine from the table and gave it to him, with a concerned smile: "Today, give it your all; look how worn out you've been these days."

If we had to say who's been happiest these days, it's Gu He.

Jin Chen hasn't appeared again; their family also secured a big collaboration. Although they can't openly manipulate accounts, as long as they go through the casino once it's good money, and going on like this, annexing the Qiao family is just a matter of time!

Qiao Xu lifted his spirits, took the wine cup, and lightly sipped at the rim.

This wine is sweet, not too hard to drink.

He hadn't had much contact with any alcohol besides red wine, so Qiao Xu didn't realize that this cup, while smooth on the throat, is actually very high in alcohol content.

Suddenly, Qiao Xu lifted his gaze and glanced at a man on the neighboring sofa.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing, nothing, it's just that I've never seen Young Master Qiao before; it's quite rare."

That man's looks were ordinary, but he wore a rather flamboyant red suit, still quite hard on the eyes.

Qiao Xu rolled his eyes, "Don't stare at me."

Gu He glared at that man, signaling him to behave for now; it wasn't his turn to appear yet.

But he advised Qiao Xu with his words: "Xiao Xu, you can't always be like this; if you don't meet new people, you'll never forget Jin Chen, and thus won't be able to get over the sorrow of the breakup."

Qiao Xu: "……Don't talk to me, I hate you."

He glanced at Gu He's stunned expression, Qiao Xu turned his face away, and let out a hum.

If you keep advising like this, I won't take you to next week's music concert.

Gu He's expression changed; although he was angry inside, he still had to go placate this young master who kept coming up with ideas.

Since breaking up with Jin Chen, Qiao Xu's temperament has become increasingly strange.

Damn!

Jin Chengtian suddenly stood up, staring intently at his phone.

In the doubtful gazes of everyone in the private room, he instinctively looked toward Qiao Xu.

Jin Chen and Huo Chen are also coming.

Everyone in the private room gasped in unison.

That killing god also has to come! The venue was already cold enough today!

You say... can I still leave now?

Someone asked, 'It's not for any other reason; I just feel that compared to today's venue, I'd rather go fight with my family's illegitimate child.'

Jin Chengtian chuckled, 'I estimate it's too late; they're already outside the door.'

Just as his words fell.

The private room door was opened.

The figure walking behind wore a black windbreaker, almost blending into the dim hallway; upon entering, he was illuminated by the flashing lights, his handsome face resembling a deity.

Jin Chen glanced at everyone, including the young master with sparkling eyes.

But he only glanced, then withdrew his gaze, sitting opposite Qiao Xu, separated only by a drinks table.

Huo Chen let out a sound, understanding why Jin Chen was in such a hurry to come over.

How interesting, he raised his cup toward Qiao Xu, 'Young Master Qiao is here too.'

Qiao Xu inexplicably felt a bit guilty, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

Just as luck would have it, just as the people here had sat down, the private room door was opened again.

The bartender who had just left led a group of people in.

Each of them was attractive, dressed flamboyantly, their eyes seemingly carrying hooks.

The bartender gave a few instructions to the leader, then left; the leading tall male model had a clear target, precisely walking toward Qiao Xu, while the others naturally went toward the regular customers.

Qiao Xu: '......'

He raised his eyes to glance at the person sitting beside him, clearly hearing a snicker from across.

'Young master, let me pour you some wine.'

Unfortunately, that male model hadn't noticed anything; his movements were overly intimate as he drew near, almost pressing against Qiao Xu.

Qiao Xu instinctively stood up, his face tense, 'Who let you sit beside me?'

The male model hadn't figured out how to respond, but Jin Chen spoke first.

'Huo Chen.'

'Eh eh eh, what's the command, why do you also want a male model?'

Huo Chen was watching the show; hearing that, he turned his head and made a teasing remark.
