Chapter 695: Music Soiree 7

Lin Tao cast a glance at Gao Jun, his lips curving into a smile as he said, "Brother Gao, from the tone of your voice, it seems you’re quite dissatisfied with that Leng Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Gao Jun’s eyes immediately shot deep resentment, and he said through gritted teeth, "This guy has opposed me several times. If it weren’t for certain reasons, I would have dealt with him long ago."

Lin Tao nodded, his shrewdness allowing him to understand Gao Jun’s implication quite clearly. It was probably Gao Jun’s intention from the start, which is why he used the interests of those two wealthy young ladies to pique his own interest. But regardless, he was aware of the power behind Gao Jun, and he might need to rely on it in the future, so he didn’t mind doing him a favor. Thus, he patted Gao Jun on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you settle the score today, no matter what. A small fry like that dares to crawl over our heads? Impossible."

At this moment, Leng Xuan returned to his seat with his plate full of food. As he set the loaded plate on the table, Li Mengjie immediately leaned in, but upon seeing the food on the plate, she frowned and complained, "Cold Bodyguard, why is all the food so greasy? Don’t you know we need to maintain our slender figures?"

Leng Xuan shrugged his shoulders, nonchalantly replying, "If you don’t eat, nobody is going to force you."

Li Mengjie huffed, grabbed a fried shrimp, and took a playful bite. While eating, she threatened, "If I get fat and no one wants me, Cold Bodyguard, you definitely have to take responsibility."

Ling Xuejiu’s eyes widened upon hearing this. Was that a threat? It seemed more like a bargain to him; he really didn’t know what was going on in that girl’s head. Meanwhile, Leng Xuan, with a smile, pushed the plate toward Li Mengjie, solicitously offering, "Then you should eat more, don’t be shy. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get you more. Today, let’s aim to put on a few more pounds; I prefer women with fuller figures."

"In your dreams!" Li Mengjie instantly retorted, "If you like plump that much, you might as well find a sow, that should meet your standards."

Leng Xuan laughed, "Then I look forward to you turning into a sow."

"You..." Li Mengjie, seeing Leng Xuan compare her to a sow, was immediately infuriated, shooting him a fierce glare. She threw the shrimp in her hand at him, but he deftly dodged it.

Miss Ling watched Leng Xuan and Li Mengjie joking without any restraint, feeling envious, jealous, and also a little lost and melancholic. A mix of complex emotions swirled inside her, bitter to the taste. She sighed softly, unsure of what was troubling her.

Just at that moment, a group of smartly dressed young men approached, and the handsome leader walked straight to the couch with a gentlemanly bow, smiling, "Hello, I’m Lin Tao. May I have the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the two young ladies?"

Leng Xuan looked up, giving the group a glance, surprised in his heart. He saw that Gao Jun was also among them, and although Gao Jun’s gaze was fixed on Li Mengjie and the others, he keenly caught Gao Jun’s sidelong glances at him, suggesting possible malevolence.

As for Ling Xuejiu and the others, they just slightly lifted their eyes, imperceptibly frowning, then coolly replied, "We’re sorry, we’re having a private conversation, and we’d rather not be disturbed."
