When Su Qingning stepped out of the car, her face was bright red, and her clothes were rather disheveled. Fortunately, it was late and dark, so no one noticed her. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have been so embarrassed she would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. After getting out of the car, she straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and then hurried into the bar.

Lin Xiao had just stepped into the security room when he saw a young lady, heavily disguised, sitting in a chair and cracking open sunflower seeds. Who else could it be but Chu Xiangxue?

Upon seeing Lin Xiao, she took off her disguise, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Chu Xiangxue flashed Lin Xiao a charming smile and opened her arms.

"Stinky Daddy, come give me a hug!"

"A hug? In your dreams. A handshake is more like it!"

"Stingy! A handshake it is, then!"

As she spoke, Chu Xiangxue proactively extended her slender, delicate hand. The moment Lin Xiao took it, Chu Xiangxue suddenly tugged with all her might. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have definitely been pulled into her embrace.

Although Lin Xiao didn't fall into her arms, Chu Xiangxue feigned weakness and hugged him brazenly anyway.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

He didn't know if this girl had spent too much time with Shao Mei'er and picked up her flirtatious ways, or if it was simply her nature. In any case, she was becoming more and more shameless in taking liberties with him. For instance, not only was she hugging him now, but her hands were wandering all over his body.

To prevent her from continuing her mischief, Lin Xiao quickly pushed her away.

"Xiang Xue, behave yourself!"

"I want to, but as soon as I see you, I just can't!"

Defeated, Lin Xiao quickly changed the subject.

"When did you get here?"

"Just arrived a little while ago. Did you miss me?" Chu Xiangxue asked with a smile.

Lin Xiao said, exasperated, "Sis, can you stop flirting, please?"

"Sister? That works. How about this: from now on, you can call me Sister, and I'll keep calling you Stinky Daddy!" Chu Xiangxue said, her eyes curving into crescents as she laughed.

Lin Xiao gave up.

"Were you tired after last night's concert?"

Chu Xiangxue pouted. "Of course, I was. I even wanted to celebrate with you, but you took off with your wife first!"

Her eyes and tone carried a hint of complaint.

"Something came up last night. Come on, I'll take you to a private room now. I'll have a drink with you tonight to celebrate!"

"Just the two of us?" Chu Xiangxue asked with a smile.

"You wish. Shao Mei'er and Pei Yanzi are probably coming too. Oh, right, there's something I want to get your opinion on!"

Lin Xiao remembered that Pei Yanzi wanted to become a star.

"Stinky Daddy, you call the shots. There's no need to ask me. You can do whatever you want. Or, I can do whatever you want me to!"

For some reason, Lin Xiao felt that she had changed since the concert. The Chu Xiangxue of the past was always smiling and cheerful, and she would tease him from time to time, but she never said anything too out of line. Now, she was like a different person, completely letting herself go. She spouted one flirtatious line after another without hesitation.

"Xiang Xue, be serious. I want to talk to you about Yanzi!"

Hearing Pei Yanzi's name, Chu Xiangxue finally reined herself in a bit.

"Stinky Daddy, what's wrong with Yanzi?"

"I heard from her brother that after watching your concert last night, she wants to become a star too. So, I wanted to ask, do you think Yanzi has what it takes?"

"Of course she does. She's so beautiful, and in the entertainment industry, looks are everything. However, Stinky Daddy, you might not know that this circle is a bit complex, like a big dye vat. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend Yanzi get involved. After all, she's as pure as a lotus flower," Chu Xiangxue said very seriously.

"You're afraid she'll change after she enters the industry?"

Chu Xiangxue nodded. "It's not just a possibility; it's highly likely. I've been in this industry for three years and have seen too many innocent flowers turn into rotten leaves. Frankly, I don't want Yanzi to end up like that."

"What if she's well-protected?"

"Stinky Daddy, it's not a question of whether she can be protected well or not. To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a world of fame and fortune. Some people, no matter how well you protect them, will gradually lose themselves. It's really hard to stay level-headed."

"Then how do you stay level-headed?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

Chu Xiangxue smiled. "Stinky Daddy, what do you think most people enter the entertainment industry for?"

"Fame and fortune?" Lin Xiao asked.

"That's right. Whether they genuinely love acting or singing, they can't escape those two things. Unfortunately for them, I'm not interested in either. As for money, my family has enough for me to squander for several lifetimes. As for fame, I couldn't care less. That's why I can stay level-headed."

Lin Xiao nodded. What Chu Xiangxue said made a lot of sense. He had originally planned to ask her to mentor Pei Yanzi, but now he hesitated. He, too, was worried that an innocent girl like Pei Yanzi would gradually lose herself after entering the entertainment industry.

"You're right. When Yanzi gets here later, have a good talk with her and see what she thinks."

"Don't worry, Stinky Daddy. I'll have a good chat with her," Chu Xiangxue said with a smile.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the private room."

Chu Xiangxue nodded. After putting her disguise back on, she followed Lin Xiao out of the security room, only for him to stop in his tracks, stunned.

When he had returned with Su Qingning earlier, there was already a long line at the bar's entrance. Now, it was even more crowded. The place was packed to the rafters.

Since when had his wife's bar become so popular?

Seeing Lin Xiao's puzzled expression, Chu Xiangxue lowered her voice and laughed. "Stinky Daddy, I posted on Weibo that I'd be at your wife's bar tonight!"

Damn. No wonder the bar was suddenly so packed. It was all because of her. At this point, Lin Xiao couldn't help but marvel again at Chu Xiangxue's charisma. It was truly terrifying. He had intended to take her through the front entrance, but now it seemed the back door was the only option.

He led Chu Xiangxue into the private room with some difficulty. After they were seated, Lin Xiao asked a waiter to bring several bottles of top-shelf liquor. Then, he sent a message to his wife, telling her that Chu Xiangxue had arrived.

Before long, Su Qingning herself came into the private room with the alcohol. Naturally, Shen Jingzhe was right behind her. Lin Xiao had instructed Shen Jingzhe not to leave Su Qingning's side for a moment, and Shen Jingzhe had clearly taken the instruction to heart. Now, Shen Jingzhe would even follow whenever Su Qingning went to the restroom.

This left Su Qingning torn between amusement and exasperation. But she knew Shen Jingzhe was protecting her, so she didn't say anything.

Lin Xiao was about to have a drink with Chu Xiangxue. But just as he picked up his glass, his phone began to ring.

The call was from Pei Donglai.

Lin Xiao quickly answered.

"Captain, there's trouble!" Pei Donglai said gravely.
