Chapter 430: Chapter 430

The top floor of the club has a total of four private rooms, offering the largest space and the highest level of privacy.

The manager personally led Yan Lu’s group to the door of one of the private rooms on the top floor, cautiously prepared to knock on the door, but Yan Lu simply pushed it open without ceremony.

The manager shrank back instinctively—after all, her last name was Yan, and she had the right to be arrogant.

The soundproofing of the room was excellent. In the instant the door was pushed open, a tidal wave of deafening noise crashed over them like a surging ocean, immediately drowning everyone in it.

Walking at the very back, Liu Runxi unconsciously furrowed his brows.

Inside the private room, laser lights cast a dazzling rainbow of colors, so brilliant that it was nearly impossible to see anyone’s face clearly.

Men and women were scattered around, some sitting, some standing, either playing games or belting out lyrics in hoarse, desperate voices.

The commotion at the door finally silenced the chaotic scene for a few seconds. Then, an excited voice immediately rang out, "Xiao Lu’er...!"

A shadow darted forward.

Yan Lu swatted away the face looming too close to hers in disgust. "What the hell, hurry up and turn the lights on. Are you trying to blind me?"

The young man quickly ordered, "Turn on the lights!"

The lights brightened, illuminating the spacious room like broad daylight. At long last, Gao Yuyue and Shen You’an could see the chaotic crowd inside clearly.

Is this some kind of Halloween cosplay?

A mix of monsters and ghouls.

Standing in front of Yan Lu was a young man—probably the cleanest-looking person in the room. But as for his mannerisms... Read full story at NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"Xiao Lu’er, you’re so heartless. You came back and didn’t even inform me. If Jiarong hadn’t accidentally spilled the beans, I’d still be completely in the dark."

After speaking, he reached out, seemingly to pat Yan Lu’s shoulder, carrying an air of... well, something akin to a child pouting.

Gao Yuyue couldn’t help but shudder in revulsion.

A grown man, acting all coquettish—what a sight.

Huang Xi’s gaze shifted to the three people standing behind Yan Lu and suddenly brightened. "New friends you made in Qingzhou?"

Without waiting for an answer, he bypassed Shen You’an and Gao Yuyue, heading directly to Liu Runxi. His hand reached out as if to touch Liu Runxi’s chest.

Liu Runxi’s brows knitted sharply, retreating a step as if facing an enemy. His face cold, he barked, "What are you doing?"

Gao Yuyue couldn’t hold back and broke into laughter, bending she doubled over.

Yan Lu quickly grabbed Huang Xi’s hand and yanked him backward. "What are you doing?"

"Just saying hi! I’m Huang Xi. Handsome, what’s your name?"

Yan Lu looked visibly exasperated and hurried to apologize to Liu Runxi. "Oh no, I’m so sorry. Did he scare you? My friend... he’s just a little eccentric. He doesn’t mean any harm, so please don’t mind him."

Liu Runxi kept his face frosty, distancing himself away with an icy response. "If this happens again, I’ll break his hand."

Huang Xi’s eyes gleamed brighter, "Such a fiery temper—I like him."

Yan Lu noticed Liu Runxi’s face darkening significantly and quickly pulled Huang Xi aside, giving him a serious warning: "You’d better rein in your little tricks. I’m telling you, if you really provoke him and lose an arm, I can’t help you."

Gao Yuyue, finally finished laughing, leaned on Shen You’an’s shoulder. "Looks like us two beauties have turned into air—he only has eyes for Liu Runxi. Liu Runxi, it doesn’t matter where you go, luck with admirers follows!"

Shen You’an tugged on Gao Yuyue’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Liu Runxi’s face was as dark as a coal mine.

Huang Xi snuck a glance at Liu Runxi, feeling an itch in his heart. But he wasn’t a fool—he knew who could be provoked and who couldn’t.

Yan Lu’s words definitely carried some weight.

"Since you’re all Xiao Lu’er’s friends, that means you’re my friends too. Tonight’s tab is on me!"

Behind him, the crowd of ghouls and monsters burst into celebration.

Gao Yuyue felt back in her element. "Well, since we’re here, might as well have some fun. Young Master Huang, I heard from Yan Lu that you can get contestants from the teen idol competition? Is that true?"

At the mention, Huang Xi thumped his chest proudly. "Huang Xi doesn’t tell lies. You know who my uncle is? The chairman of Jin City Group. And do you know who the biggest investor in the teen idol competition is? Jin City Group! So, with just one word from me, the contestants will fall over themselves to please me."

"Just watch." He whipped out his phone and dialed.

"Why aren’t they here yet? My girlfriends are already getting impatient...!"

Gao Yuyue wore an expression that looked like she’d lived through a thousand hardships.

Who’s his girlfriend? Just like Yan Lu, way too chummy.

Yan Lu walked further inside, and the crowd of young people immediately pulled back, like mice startled by a cat.

Yan Lu smiled cheerfully, waving her hand. "You’re all too polite. Let’s join in, join in."

They exchanged uneasy glances but only dared to withdraw into the corners.

Yan Lu called Shen You’an, Gao Yuyue, and Liu Runxi over to sit down, grabbing the tablet for song selection. She frowned in distaste. "What kind of terrible songs are these? Yu’e, you pick."
