Jiang Ce was startled. "What's wrong?"
"Ugh, I'll tell you in a minute. Just shield me for now."
Jiang Ce was baffled.
But then, he saw a typical dandy walk into the bar, surrounded by a group of followers.
Jiang Ce's eyes narrowed in understanding. "Are you hiding from him? Who is that, your ex-boyfriend?"
Shen Xuanran was speechless. "He's *your* ex-boyfriend!"
"Anyway, that guy is incredibly annoying," she huffed. "His dad used to work for my father. Their family struck it rich these past few years, and now that they have a little bit of influence, he's gotten so arrogant he doesn't even know his own name. He's always trying to pursue me. It's exasperating."
Jiang Ce laughed. "Isn't it good to have admirers?"
Shen Xuanran rolled her eyes. "I can't be bothered to explain it to you."
"Forget it, I've lost my appetite for a drink. Let's go before that pest sees us." Shen Xuanran grabbed her bag, ready to leave.
But, as they say, speak of the devil.
