Chapter 148: Chapter 148: What the heck are you thinking about someone else’s wife!

As soon as Ji Rui got out of the car, Zhuo Jiarui reached out, hooked Ji Rui’s shoulder, and teased.

Ji Rui brushed his hand away in disgust, "Get lost, don’t touch me with those hands that have been over that kind of woman!"

Zhuo Jiarui didn’t seem to mind at all and nudged his arm with an elbow, "Alright! I won’t touch you, I’ll find you a virgin later!"

Zhuo Jiarui knew Ji Rui had a cleanliness obsession, so he deliberately said that.

For this thoughtfulness from his childhood friend, Ji Rui couldn’t help but frown and stayed silent.

The two of them stepped into the elevator, Zhuo Jiarui pressed the floor button, glanced sideways at Ji Rui, and asked, "Rui, why’d you suddenly think of this? You never used to indulge in this stuff."

Not just Zhuo Jiarui, but the entire upper-class society knew that although Ji Rui was wealthy and strikingly handsome, he never set foot in places of debauchery. His greatest joy was having drinks and chatting at a bar or golfing and fishing with friends.

Before Ji Rui brought back Ji Baby, there were even rumors in high society that although Ji Rui was rich and stylish, he was impotent.

It wasn’t until Ji Rui showed up with Ji Baby, who looked like his spitting image, that this rumor was debunked effortlessly.

Then, in the mouths of the upper-class people, Ji Rui became the devoted man remaining chaste for Baby’s mom.

In this society where any wealthy man indulges in pleasures, Ji Rui, being both wealthy and handsome, yet affectionate, quickly became the ideal catch and target for many heiresses.

It seemed like Ji Rui intentionally distanced himself from Zhuo Jiarui; once inside the elevator, he stuffed one hand into the pocket of his coat and leaned against the elevator wall.

He lifted his eyelids to glance at Zhuo Jiarui but showed no intention of answering him.

Zhuo Jiarui seemed long accustomed to Ji Rui’s arrogance of just listening without responding, and continued speaking.

"I thought you might not like others around, so I specially asked the manager to keep a VIP room for you. If you want some excitement, you can stay with us. I’m with Young Master Wang, Mr. Deng, and a few others having fun. If you want to entertain yourself, you can go to the VIP room; the manager has already picked a few fresh faces for you to choose from. Play however you like, don’t worry about a thing. Here, money solves everything!"

When it came to family background, looks, and capability, Zhuo Jiarui couldn’t compare to Ji Rui in anything, yet when it came to having fun, he could leave Ji Rui far behind.

In places like this, he was at ease.

Therefore, standing in the elevator, he couldn’t help imparting his valuable experience to Ji Rui.

Ji Rui leaned against the elevator wall, expressionless, staring at the changing floor numbers.

Only when the elevator doors opened did Ji Rui speak to Zhuo Jiarui, "Together!"

Zhuo Jiarui turned around and looked at Ji Rui in surprise. Obviously, Ji Rui’s answer surprised him greatly.

Ji Rui ignored his bewilderment, seeing him standing still, and kicked his calf. "Let’s go, rooted to the spot?"

Zhuo Jiarui hurriedly stepped forward and led Ji Rui into the box where he and several other rich young masters were.

As soon as the door opened, the smell of smoke, alcohol, and perfume rushed toward Ji Rui.

"Brother Rui, what a rare sight!"

Young Master Wang, Mr. Deng, and Young Master Ma lifted their eyes and, seeing Ji Rui, their faces were painted with shock.

Ji Rui slightly nodded in acknowledgment to them. In front of these wealthy childhood friends, Ji Rui always maintained such an arrogant high-handed manner, to which the others never dared to object.

After all, this world is like this: whoever has money and power holds absolute authority, including being arrogant, deciding the right and wrong of many matters, and even controlling someone’s life and death.

Unfortunately, within the power obtained through money and authority, emotions are not included.

Therefore, this group of people in the box never demanded emotions—they came here seeking sensory pleasures, dismissive of any kind of affection.

Ji Rui scanned the few childhood friends present, all of whom were holding two beauties each, unconcerned about sharing the same man. For those beauties, it didn’t matter sharing a man as long as his money was sufficient. Two, three, or more sharing was fine.

Ji Rui couldn’t suppress the wave of disgust rising in his heart, and abruptly, the bare-faced, yet much more beautiful-than-these-women face of Le Tong flashed across his mind.

Ji Rui shook his head, desperately trying to shake Le Tong’s face out of his mind, and biting his teeth, stepped into the room with reluctance.

For Zhuo Jiarui and the other rich young masters, this place was like paradise, but for Ji Rui, it was hell.

Ji Rui picked up a drink and sipped lightly, ignoring the two seemingly innocent girls that Zhuo Jiarui had specially asked the manager to find.

"Mr. Ji, this cocktail of mine is quite tasty, want to try?"

One of the seemingly innocent girls, however, narrowed her charming eyes, delicately raised her hand, and moved the glass toward Ji Rui’s lips.

Ji Rui was sitting upright, and upon hearing this, leaned back nonchalantly to avoid the drink she was offering.

"Not interested!"

It seemed the rumor of Ji Rui being uninterested in women was indeed true. Seeing such a young and beautiful girl, he still kept a stern face with no sign of kindness.

"Ah, Mr. Ji is so cool, I adore men like this, super manly!" The girl, undeterred by Ji Rui’s cold demeanor, persistently moved closer, like a boneless person, toward Ji Rui.

Ji Rui propped up his elbow and unceremoniously shoved her away.

"Don’t touch me!"

The girl’s face finally showed some embarrassment, while the other girl, seeing her companion’s failure, sat timidly, not daring to move.

Zhuo Jiarui observed and promptly said to the two girls, "Xiao Mei, the two of you go to the manager to get my stored wine."

An intelligent person would know he intended to dismiss the two girls to have a word with Ji Rui.

The two girls obediently got up and left. Zhuo Jiarui moved over, intending to persuade Ji Rui, but Ji Rui spoke first, "I’ll drink; you guys do your thing!"

Ji Rui once tried to be intimate with the two girls, but at the thought of being touched by such girls, he couldn’t suppress the urge to puke!

Zhuo Jiarui could only remain silent. The two drank quietly for a while; Zhuo Jiarui seemed to suddenly remember something, moved closer to Ji Rui, and whispered in his ear, "Rui, that little secretary of yours, Le Tong, is she really with the second son of the Luo Family?"

Ji Rui originally held the wine and was drinking. Hearing this, his expression turned cold, he paused, and the drink stopped at his lips.

"What are you obsessing over someone else’s wife!"
