Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: With Blood and Tears (4)

Su Hongxing looked at the two of them in confusion: “What’s going on with you two?”

It was after work hours, and Ye Qilan still had Assistant Luo with him. Was he going to attend a business dinner?

“There’s a dinner tonight, but President Ding can’t bear to be apart from Madam, so he decided to bring her along.” Assistant Luo explained to Su Hongxing.

Anyway, the boss’s intention was simple: either he skips the dinner entirely, or if he attends, he must bring Su Hongxing with him.

This put Assistant Luo in a tough spot. Originally, the clients had even arranged for several attractive women to accompany the dinner. Upon hearing the boss wanted to bring Su Hongxing, the clients didn’t know what to do.

Assistant Luo, however, had a clear understanding. Su Hongxing was the boss’s treasure, at least for now. Given they were still in their honeymoon phase, it was impossible for the boss to have an affair at this point.

Otherwise, the boss wouldn’t insist on taking Su Hongxing to the dinner.

“I’m not going. Why are you dragging me to a business dinner? I don’t drink, I don’t sing, and I definitely can’t liven up the atmosphere. I’ll be no help to you.” Su Hongxing muttered hesitantly.

“You’re actually very useful. At business dinners, there’s always someone who brings women, and some even go as far as drugging drinks. With you here, I feel safer. I know you’ll protect me.” Ye Qilan said as he took Su Hongxing’s hand and started walking.

“What about the two kids…” Su Hongxing was worried about the little ones.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already instructed Qingyin and Qiao Qiao, along with Grandma. They’ll take care of the kids for us.” Ye Qilan interrupted her.

Su Hongxing was left without a choice and could only follow Ye Qilan to attend the so-called business dinner. The destination was The Red House.

They arrived at The Red House at six-thirty. The private room was already bustling with people–plenty of men, and a fair number of women too. Almost every man had a beautiful companion by his side.

Ye Qilan looked at the scene and leaned close to Su Hongxing’s ear: “See? Didn’t I tell you? These people don’t have good intentions. With you here, they won’t dare approach me.”

Su Hongxing shot him a glare: “Give it a rest. If you don’t want them near you, would they even dare come close?”

Ye Qilan was so intimidating that just one sharp look from him could make men cower in fear, let alone women.

“Ever since you trained me, I’ve lost all my edge. It’s your fault. Later, don’t you dare leave my side, and make sure no other woman gets close to me. You’re my wife; you’re responsible for protecting my personal safety.” Ye Qilan’s words earned him a playful punch from Su Hongxing.

Everyone in the private room saw this exchange clearly. After all, Su Hongxing was considered a Taicheng celebrity. Though she wasn’t part of the entertainment industry, she always seemed to be at the center of attention.

Previously, people could only admire her beauty through a screen. Now that she appeared in person, they realized she was even more vivid and dazzling in real life.

Even though Su Hongxing was dressed in a professional suit today, it didn’t detract from her natural grace and loveliness.

The men couldn’t take their eyes off Su Hongxing, while the women were all staring at Ye Qilan, murmuring to themselves about how fortunate Su Hongxing was to have married such a handsome and wealthy man.

Once Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan were seated, the clients naturally wasted no time offering a toast to Ye Qilan.

With Su Hongxing accompanying him, Ye Qilan was in a fairly good mood and downed the drink in one gulp.

Seeing him drink like that, Su Hongxing grew concerned: “Don’t drink so fast. You’re on an empty stomach–it’ll make you get drunk easily.”

“Alright, wife. I’ll listen to you–I won’t drink anymore.” Ye Qilan grabbed Su Hongxing’s hand, his gaze fixed on her with focused tenderness.
