178 Give Each Other Some Space

“Dad.” Xiao Song stopped in front of him.

The smile on his face gave off a gentle feeling, as if he was easy to get along with. “Why are you drinking wine?”

“The waiter gave it to me.”

“The alcohol content is too high.” He reminded Xiao Hexu to watch his health. “I’ll get you another glass.”

Xiao Hexu smiled and took the glass from him.

He turned around and introduced the two of them. “Yanshen is the same age as you. You can learn from him.”

“Alright.” Xiao Song raised his glass to toast Zhou Yanshen.

He had heard of Zhou Yanshen before. “Didn’t CEO Zhou bring a female companion?”

“No.”

“Then should I find one for you?”

“No.” Zhou Yanshen leaned back, smoke coming out of his lips. “I have a girlfriend.”

“When did it happen?” Xiao Hexu looked at him through the smoke and teased, “Why didn’t I see any media report about it?”

Every time he had a relationship, he would be on the trending searches.

“Last week.” Zhou Yanshen tapped the cigarette casually. “She’s not in the entertainment industry.”

Hearing that, Xiao Hexu understood.

“I’ll take Xiao Song to toast people over there.” Xiao Hexu wanted to introduce more people to Xiao Song and did not plan to sit here for too long.

Zhou Yanshen nodded faintly.

He sat alone in the corner, wanting to avoid unnecessary conversation, but someone still came to disturb him.

“President Zhou, cheers?” A beautifully dressed female celebrity showed up in front of him.

Zhou Yanshen, who had learned his lesson once, casually moved to the side, unwilling to get close to her.

He did not look at her twice. “I’m sorry.”

“What’s there to be sorry about?” The female celebrity did not seem to understand his rejection and even winked at him.

“I don’t want to drink.”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Seeing that she was getting closer, Zhou Yanshen glanced at her coldly. “If you don’t want to lose your job, get lost.”

Under the dim light, his cold gaze made the female celebrity shiver.

She left tactfully. Not long after that, another woman came.

Zhou Yanshen, who had rejected four or five people in a row, picked up his coat in frustration and strode out.

“Yanshen!” Qiao Rou chased after him.

She picked up her dress with her slender hand and stopped in front of him. “Are you leaving?”

“Why?”

“I have a headache. Can you send me home?”

Zhou Yanshen pressed the elevator button. “There are many taxis downstairs. Pick one.”

“I’m afraid it’s not safe at this hour.”

“It’s only ten o’clock.”

“I’m still afraid.” Qiao Rou adjusted her shawl and walked into the elevator with him.

Zhou Yanshen looked at her with a faint smile. “What are you afraid of?”

“I’m afraid of meeting crazy fans and perverts.”

“You’re overthinking it.”

Qiao Rou pouted. “Yanshen.” Her voice was soft. “Send me home.”

Zhou Yanshen could understand her hint, but he did not want to play with her.

“I can’t.” He strode out of the elevator that stopped on the first floor. “My girlfriend is still waiting for me.”

“Girlfriend?” Qiao Rou’s expression changed.

She deliberately took two steps forward, wanting to bump into his broad back. “Yanshen, help me up…”
