Chapter 178: The One Who Must Not Be Provoked

Chen Liu gazed at Su Keqing on stage at the concert, his eyes filled with admiration—pure admiration.  

He was different from those other privileged heirs.  

To them, female celebrities were nothing more than playthings, conquests to be briefly enjoyed before being discarded.  

But Chen Liu was different—he was a true believer in pure love. He wanted a real relationship, one that could even lead to marriage.  

And he had absolute confidence in himself.  

He was handsome, came from a powerful background, had an outgoing personality, and most importantly—marrying into a wealthy family was a temptation few women could resist.  

The concert lasted for nearly three hours.  

The atmosphere was electrifying as Su Keqing performed over twenty songs, each one igniting a full-stadium sing-along.  

At the same time, her experience points kept increasing:  

【Gained Audience Affection and Emotional Resonance, EXP +14555】  

【Gained Audience Affection and Emotional Resonance, EXP +1274555】   

【Gained Audience Affection and Emotional Resonance, EXP +14555】  

Finally, as the concert came to an end, Su Keqing heard the familiar System Notification:  

【Level Up! Gained 5000 Skill EXP!】  

A radiant smile instantly bloomed on her face. Without hesitation, she allocated all 5000 points into 【Radiant Intimacy】.  

【Level 3 Radiant Intimacy】: Increases the experience points gained by the target by 30% for two weeks.  

Seeing her【Radiant Intimacy】 finally reach Level 3, Su Keqing felt satisfied—this concert had accomplished its purpose.  

Qin Xian should be happy, right?  

Her face lit up with anticipation. At some point, she had become more and more reliant on this man…  

Even after the concert ended, the audience was reluctant to leave. Instead, they began singing together in unison.  

But Su Keqing had already left the stage, heading backstage to remove her makeup. Behind the scenes, the staff bustled about, packing up equipment.  

Even though the concert was over, their work was far from finished…  

“Miss Su, your concert tonight was a tremendous success!”  

“I’ve been in this industry for many years, and I can confidently say—you are destined to be the greatest singer in the Human Realm!”  

Several managers crowded around Su Keqing, offering flattery. They all knew that she had powerful backing—she was Qin Shao’s woman!  

How could they dare neglect her? Moreover, she was the owner of this entertainment company. In essence, they were working for her…  

Inside the backstage dressing room, Su Keqing removed her makeup and changed out of her glamorous stage outfit.  

She opted for a lace-trimmed mini-dress paired with a plaid over-the-knee skirt, exuding youthful charm and playful elegance.  

Surrounded by her managers and assistants, Su Keqing walked out of the dressing room, preparing to leave the stadium.  

There was a celebratory banquet tonight, but she wouldn’t be attending. She knew that Qin Xian was waiting for her. 

Tonight—she belonged to Qin Xian…  

—

At that moment, a deep voice called out:  

“Miss Su, please wait a moment. My young master would like to invite you to dinner tonight.” A middle-aged man with a faint air of arrogance stood before her, smiling.  

His demeanor exuded an aura of undeniable authority—the kind only possessed by those in positions of true power.  

“And you are?” Su Keqing frowned slightly.  

The man smiled politely, “I am the personal butler of Young Master Chen Liu.”  

“Miss Su, we meet again.” Chen Liu appeared from the shadows, his face adorned with a confident smile as he gazed at Su Keqing.  

But her expression remained indifferent—her eyes flashing with undisguised annoyance.  

One of Su Keqing’s managers stepped forward.  

“Chen Liu? Never heard of him.”  

Hearing this, Chen Liu smirked with pride, “Ever heard of the Anxi Chen Clan?”  

Some of the stadium officials recognized the name.  

“He’s the grandson of Chen Qishan, the newly appointed Minister of Internal Affairs for the Empire. The eldest young master of the Chen family.”  

Yet, upon hearing this so-called prestigious background, the manager remained unimpressed.  

Instead, she sneered dismissively, muttering under her breath—  

“So he’s just a country bumpkin…” She knew exactly who Qin Xian was.  

Compared to Qin Shao, what did the Chen family amount to? Nothing.  

The words ‘country bumpkin’ instantly darkened the expressions of both Chen Liu and his butler.  

Although Anxi Province was one of the more prosperous regions in the Empire, compared to the Imperial Capital, it was still the countryside.  

Chen Liu suppressed his anger—he refused to lower himself to arguing with a mere subordinate. That would only diminish his own grace and dignity.  

Forcing a polite smile, he turned to Su Keqing, “Miss Su, would you do me the honor of joining me for dinner?”  

After a brief pause, he added proudly, “I have some influence in the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. I believe I can be quite beneficial to your career.”  

But to Chen Liu’s shock—Su Keqing didn’t even acknowledge him. It was as if she hadn’t even heard him speak.  

Instead, she walked straight ahead, stopping in front of a handsome young man. Without hesitation, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him.  

The sight made Chen Liu’s face turn red with rage. In his eyes, Su Keqing was an untouchable goddess—a pure and sacred existence!  

And yet, she had willingly embraced another man?!  

Who was he?! In an instant, Chen Liu’s gaze darkened with hostility.  

But before he could speak, his butler’s face drastically changed.  

This man was Chen Liu’s personal butler, and also a veteran member of the Chen family. Before they arrived in the Imperial Capital, Chen Qishan had warned him.

There are some people in the Imperial Capital that even the Chen family cannot afford to provoke.  

As a seasoned butler, he had done his homework, memorizing the faces of the Empire’s most powerful figures.  

And just now—he had recognized that young man. That man was the one person they must never, ever offend.
