"Let's eat," Qiu Qianwei glanced at Wang Haoran and Cui Xiao for a moment, not asking much, but lowered her gaze and smiled.She hid her emotions well, and apart from Wang Haoran, no one noticed her unusual mood.
Everyone began to eat.
On the table were some dishes from Yan country, with meat and vegetables. No one's preferences were ignored.
Qiu Qianwei ate gracefully, keeping her head down and not looking elsewhere.
Soon, conversations began around her.
"This pork trotter is delicious. You should try it."
The voice was hearty and sweet, and Qiu Qianwei could recognize it as Cui Xiao's voice.
"Thanks," Wang Haoran's voice came, pausing briefly before saying, "It's really good."
Cui Xiao: "See, I told you."
Wang Haoran: "This shredded squid is also good, let me give you some, try it."
Cui Xiao: "Thank you... Wow, it's really delicious."
Clatter.
Qiu Qianwei's hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and the chopsticks slipped from her hand, falling to the ground with a clang.
[Ding, host made Qiu Qianwei jealous, gaining 500 villain points!]
One of the female assistants immediately asked the waiter to bring an extra pair of chopsticks for Qiu Qianwei.
"Don't speak during meals, try not to chat all the time," Qiu Qianwei couldn't bear it and said to Cui Xiao.
"Yes, Master," Cui Xiao nodded hurriedly.
After being told by Qiu Qianwei, Cui Xiao also stopped talking to Wang Haoran.
Qiu Qianwei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much quieter.
However, when she picked up food, she saw Wang Haoran on the opposite side of the table suddenly touch Cui Xiao's face.
Then, he picked up a tissue and wiped the food from the corner of Cui Xiao's mouth.
"Thank you," Cui Xiao blushed, smiling.
Wang Haoran shook his head with a smile, gently flicking her nose.
Although silent, this scene was too impactful for someone.
[Ding, host made Qiu Qianwei jealous, gaining 800 villain points!]
"I'm full, you guys enjoy," Qiu Qianwei directly put down her chopsticks, said a word, and then got up from her seat.
"Seventh Sister, are you full after eating so little?" Lin Chen asked.
"I'm full," Qiu Qianwei turned around and left directly.
Lin Chen frowned slightly, glanced at Qiu Qianwei's departing figure, and seemed lost in thought looking at Wang Haoran and Cui Xiao. However, he quickly shook his head to himself.
'Impossible, Seventh Sister has only seen this guy for a few days. How could she be interested in him?'
'Seventh Sister must have no appetite.'
However, just to be on the safe side, Lin Chen approached Wang Haoran for a private conversation after the meal.
"Big brother, are you dating Sister Cui Xiao?" Lin Chen pretended to be innocent and asked Wang Haoran.
Wang Haoran pondered for a moment and replied, "No, we're just ordinary friends. I don't like Cui Xiao. I like... your sister."
"Oh, I see. You deliberately got close to Sister Cui Xiao, wanting to play hard to get with Seventh Sister," Lin Chen looked surprised.
"Hush, don't tell your sister."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything. Big brother, I think you're a pretty good person, very suitable for Seventh Sister. There's no doubt you're a perfect match, handsome and beautiful, made for each other," Lin Chen's small face was full of sincerity.
Seeing his expression, Wang Haoran couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
If he believed such words, he would be a fool.
However, while he thought so in his heart, he appeared very pleased on the surface and said smoothly, "Ah, since you also think so, why don't you help me? If I end up with your Seventh Sister, it will certainly be of benefit to you."
“Well...," Lin Chen looked hesitant.
"Aren't you okay with it? Then forget it." Wang Haoran pretended to be disappointed.
"It's not that it's not okay, but you have to promise me. If you're with Seventh Sister, you have to treat her well and not bully her!" Lin Chen hastily added.
"Of course," Wang Haoran nodded firmly.
"You know, my Seventh Sister really hopes to win the Supreme Gold Award at the Global Honor Arts Festival, but there are too many competitors. The hope of Seventh Sister winning the Supreme Gold Award is very slim," Lin Chen sighed, then said seriously, "If you could help my Seventh Sister win the Supreme Gold Award, she would be overjoyed. She might even agree to be with you!"
"She'd agree to be with me?!" Wang Haoran looked "excited," "But how should I do it?"
"It's simple. Before the Global Honor Arts Festival, you just need to make sure that Seventh Sister's competitors can't participate. Then my Seventh Sister will directly win the Supreme Gold Award!" Lin Chen said earnestly.
"What a great idea!" Wang Haoran praised on the surface but secretly thought,
'What a crappy idea? Even if this plan was executed, Qiu Qianwei would be furious. This is such a blind move that no one with normal intelligence would make.'
But Lin Chen proposed this "idiotic" plan relying on his "lowered intelligence aura." If it were any other villain, they would have fallen for it. However, Lin Chen never expected that Wang Haoran had a resistance halo.
"Big brother, since that's the case, you better get started. As long as you do it, my Seventh Sister will be yours," Lin Chen urged.
"I'll get started right away!"
After bluffing, Wang Haoran immediately left Lin Chen's sight, seemingly wanting to leave the hotel to handle something.
Through his perspective, Wang Haoran saw Lin Chen's smug expression on his small face. He turned around and swaggered back to his room.
Seeing this, Wang Haoran immediately turned back.
[Ding, the host's deviation from the protagonist Lin Chen's plot affects the plot direction, gaining 600 villain points, Lin Chen's protagonist halo -30, the host's villain halo +30!]
Feeling pleased with the reward, he headed straight to the hotel's piano room.
Qiu Qianwei practiced the piano in the piano room.
However, the piano music was a bit messy, far below Qiu Qianwei's usual standard.
Obviously, Qiu Qianwei's mind was a bit chaotic.
"Knock, knock."
As the music stopped, Wang Haoran immediately knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the voice, Wang Haoran walked into the piano room.
"Why do you have time to come here?" Qiu Qianwei was surprised.
The implied meaning of her words was: "Aren't you supposed to accompany Cui Xiao? How come you have time to come here?
"Just here to see you," Wang Haoran walked to the piano, his hand brushing over the keys, then falling onto Qiu Qianwei's slender and fair hand.
Qiu Qianwei paused for a moment, then, like a startled rabbit, she wanted to retract her hand. However, she was firmly held by Wang Haoran, and for a moment, she couldn't break free.
"What... what do you mean by this?" Qiu Qianwei's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling embarrassed and bewildered.
