"Poof..."
Xiao Mi fell into Chen Fan's embrace, her cheeks flushing with a blush.
"Miss, by lying in my arms, are you agreeing?" Although it was dim here, others couldn't see the change in color, but Chen Fan's eyes were extremely sensitive.
"Mm... good," said the girl named Xiao Mi.
Waiting for Xiao Mi's agreement, Chen Fan helped her up.
"Hello, my name is Chen Tianjiao," Chen Fan extended his hand.
In the mortal world, Chen Fan would naturally use a mortal world name, making it easier to distinguish.
"Hello, Chen Tianjiao, you can just call me Xiao Shan!" Xiao Shan was the first to raise her hand and shake Chen Fan's.
"Hello Chen Tianjiao, I'm Xiao Rou." After Xiao Shan finished, Xiao Rou also raised her left hand and shook Chen Fan's.
"Since you are Xiao Mi's friends, I will cover all your expenses tonight." At this moment, Chen Fan exuded the demeanor of a boyfriend. Although she wasn't his girlfriend, Chen Fan had invited Xiao Mi, so it was only fitting he paid for her friends' expenses.
"This isn't right," Xiao Shan said with a hint of embarrassment.
In reality, Xiao Shan was just pretending. As a regular at bars, how could she refuse an offer of a treat from her best friend's supposed boyfriend?
However, basic etiquette still required a show of modesty.
"Yes, it's really too much of an imposition," Xiao Rou chimed in, feigning shyness in perfect sync with Xiao Shan.
To Chen Fan, the two women's behavior seemed amusingly theatrical. But this was the mortal world, and weren't mortal men fond of such coy young ladies?
"Oh! Brother Tianjiao, why don't you forcefully take us along?" Xiao Mi said coquettishly, leaning towards Chen Fan.
As she spoke, she subtly tugged at Chen Fan's sleeve.
An ordinary young master or common man would have likely surrendered to such tactics. But alas, Chen Fan had experienced all sorts of situations, including life-and-death battles. To reintegrate into the mortal world, he decided to play along.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Shan, Xiao Rou, no matter who comes tonight, you won't be spending a single cent!" Chen Fan said with a playful tone.
"Then, thank you, Xiao Mi and Brother Chen Tianjiao." The two women, having found an opportune moment, readily accepted.
With Chen Fan hosting, they all proceeded to a private room on the second floor of the bar.
"Wow, this is the first time someone's brought me up to a private room," Xiao Shan exclaimed.
"Yeah, usually we're just at the luxurious seating areas downstairs. You're so powerful," Xiao Rou said, looking at Chen Fan.
In Xiao Rou's eyes, the luxurious booths on the first floor seemed rather pedestrian compared to the opulent private rooms on the second floor.
"Brother Chen Tianjiao, just how rich are you to bring us to these luxurious private rooms on the second floor?" Xiao Mi leaned on Chen Fan's shoulder, her voice filled with excitement. After all, she had never been upstairs before, only hearing that it was where the powerful and influential people gathered.
"I'm just an ordinary second-generation rich kid, my family just has a bit of influence." Chen Fan quickly allayed their suspicions. He feared that if Xiao Mi knew his true capabilities, she might cling to him incessantly, and as the saying goes, a good man dislikes persistent women.
Moreover, Chen Fan held a certain status in this city, as this, the largest and most popular bar, was one of his chain of businesses.
"How could you just be of ordinary rich second-generation standards? Brother Chen Fan, your aura is unlike anyone we've ever seen before. You're not deceiving us, are you?" Xiao Mi lay on Chen Fan's arm, still speaking in a sweet, teasing tone.
"Your Brother Chen Fan must be here on vacation! I've never seen him anywhere like this before," Xiao Shan said to Xiao Mi, smoking a Zhonghua cigarette while seated on the sofa in the private room.
"Yes, I haven't either," Xiao Rou chimed in casually.
"Oh, just enjoy yourselves and don't ask so many questions~" Chen Fan said softly.
"Ooh! It seems your Brother Chen Tianjiao is a little upset," Xiao Shan teased, seeing Chen Fan's response.
Chen Fan looked at Xiao Shan, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on his face.
"The city's ways are too complicated, I want to go back to the countryside."
These words reflected Chen Fan's true thoughts.
Before long, they were all having fun, from playing dice games to finger-guessing games. Accompanied by the pulsating music, their eyes began to glaze over.
Even Xiao Rou, Xiao Shan, and Xiao Mi ended up kissing Chen Fan.
At this moment, Chen Fan, free from his earlier weariness, became increasingly relaxed, savoring the experience.
He ordered bottle after bottle of the bar's most expensive liquor.
"This is DJ Xiao Mi, tonight all consumption from the luxurious private room on the second floor is being paid for by Young Master Chen!"
The atmosphere in the venue surged to a climax, propelled by Chen Fan's generosity....
After several rounds of drinks, the four of them, tipsy, left the second floor and exited the bar.
"Xiao Rou??? What are you doing here??"
As they stepped out of the bar, a voice called out.
Dazed, Xiao Rou looked up, and the sudden sobering shock of drunkenness instantly jolted her awake.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Shan asked, still groggy.
"Sister Shan, he found me," Xiao Rou's tone was tinged with fear as she addressed the person who had suddenly appeared.
Xiao Shan looked up and saw the young master who had been teasing them earlier standing before Xiao Rou. Her own drunkenness evaporated.
"Greetings, Young Master Lin," Xiao Shan said immediately upon seeing the young master.
