Zhao Wenling received a call from Yang Yixian, who provided her with the specific address, and Zhao Wenling readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wenling excitedly said, "We struck gold today, Yang Shao is going to take us to a special supply restaurant inside the old Shun Group, which isn't open to the public. The chef there is from Neihong Country, learned cooking in France, and later became the head chef at a Michelin three-star restaurant in Neihong Country.

Just ordering a few dishes can cost enough to buy an LV."

As she spoke, Zhao Wenling also observed Bai Zhongqi's reaction from the corner of her eye, only to find that this bumpkin didn't show any change. Zhao Wenling couldn't help but think maliciously, this poor sucker probably didn't even know what Michelin three stars meant.

If it had been before, Bai Zhongqi would have been secretly surprised to hear about such a place. But now, he felt nothing; money had lost its significance to him, and he didn't believe there was anyone in the Solar System more powerful than him.

He was aware of Zhao Wenling's barely veiled contempt, but he thought it not worth his while to get angry with such a character, considering she was a childhood friend of his girlfriend.

Han Jiaxue was well aware of what kind of entity Bai Zhongqi currently was. Seeing his calmness, she actually found him quite attractive. Zhao Wenling's behavior did not escape her notice, but she didn't expose it, though she felt a vague disapproval. Growing up, her best friend from childhood had gradually become more like a stranger, which saddened her. Find exclusive stories on empire

"Let's go." Han Jiaxue changed into her usual clothes and instantly looked stunning. She wore a loose, oversized gray sweater with shorts underneath, and knee-high boots, revealing her dazzlingly white legs (absolutely prime territory). Her sweet-faced girlfriend wrapped herself in a tasseled scarf, tucking her long hair inside, and holding a cup of hot milk tea, she looked absolutely gorgeous.

Zhao Wenling couldn't help feeling envious when she looked at Han Jiaxue. Ever since they were little and stood together, people's eyes would always fall first on Han Jiaxue and sometimes completely ignore herself. Many of the boys they knew would try to date Han Jiaxue first, and only when they were unsuccessful, they would turn their attention to Zhao Wenling.

There were even some who would pursue Zhao Wenling only to get closer to Han Jiaxue.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Zhongqi felt like he could never get enough of looking at Han Jiaxue. He walked over and said as he reached out his hand, "Let me help you with your bag."

Han Jiaxue's bag was small and not heavy. Usually, she would have refused, feeling capable of carrying it herself. However, in front of Zhao Wenling, Han Jiaxue accepted his offer to demonstrate their closeness.

Bai Zhongqi took the bag, and Han Jiaxue looped her arm through his. Bai Zhongqi felt his face grow warm, and truth be told, Han Jiaxue was also a bit bashful. The experience was quite novel for both of them.

Zhao Wenling couldn't stand seeing the couple's lovey-dovey display, thinking to herself, "Jiajia is really blind in discerning people. Wait until she meets Yang Shao, and she'll understand, this Bai guy is nothing."

Out of the three, only Zhao Wenling had driven. Han Jiaxue generally took the subway for convenience at work. Well, Bai Zhongqi came by spaceship.

Zhao Wenling's car was a gold M4, which also had some modifications, looking quite flashy. It was a two-door, four-seat sports coupe imported from abroad, requiring Bai Zhongqi and Han Jiaxue to pull open the front passenger side and climb into the back, which wasn't very convenient.

Once in the car, Zhao Wenling still observed Bai Zhongqi to see how he reacted, noticing that he seemed at ease and not intimidated by her luxury car. In fact, her car's original price wasn't outrageous, but the costs after modifications were indeed significant.

Zhao Wenling didn't really understand cars, and the modification shop had ripped her off, costing her a lot of money for the modest value of the enhancements.

Zhao Wenling thought that even if Bai Zhongqi had studied abroad, his family definitely wasn't wealthy. She felt that having been around second-generation rich kids for so long, she could tell at a glance who had money and who didn't.

Little did she know, this early-twenty-something girl had mostly seen flashy, pretentious second-gens, while low-profile tycoons or self-made wealthy people were beyond her reach. She also couldn't perceive the subtler qualities of refinement, and so she naively pegged Bai Zhongqi as an unrefined poor sod.

Had it been the Bai Zhongqi of the past, he would have probably shared similar thoughts to Zhao Wenling. But the Bai Zhongqi of today was certainly not without money. Just yesterday, the C country had signed a contract with Ba Qinyuan, the foreign minister of the United Empire, sending 15 billion RMB to Iridium Star's account in a C country bank.

However, Bai Zhongqi wasn't wealthy for the sake of flaunting his riches.

He currently had no interest in what Zhao Wenling was thinking; Han Jiaxue was sitting right beside him, and their proximity allowed her pleasant scent to drift into his nose, making Bai Zhongqi feel very good.

Upon arrival, Bai Zhongqi pulled Han Jiaxue out of the car and saw a red Laferrari parked in the spot directly opposite. These were cars he'd only seen in magazines and on the internet. Although Bai Zhongqi wasn't exactly a luxury car enthusiast, he still knew a bit about them. By now, it was getting dark, the parking lot lights shining on the shiny red Laferrari, which indeed looked cool.

But that was it; Bai Zhongqi had seen too many cool things these past few days, and a Laferrari really wasn't anything special.

Zhao Wenling, however, finally saw a hint of "shock" on Bai Zhongqi's face that seemed to brighten her mood considerably.

She eagerly approached, pulling Han Jiaxue away from Bai Zhongqi and bringing her in front of the dashing Yang Yixian. "Young Master Yang, have you been waiting long? Let me introduce you, this is my best girlfriend, Han Jiaxue. She has been studying in the United States. Don't you think she's especially beautiful?"

It was Yang Yixian who had specifically asked to meet Han Jiaxue, but Zhao Wenling certainly didn't want Han Jiaxue to feel as if she had sold her out, so she changed the way she spoke.

Yang Yixian extended his hand, the other tucked into the pocket of his slim-fit trousers. His expression, gestures, and even his hairstyle were all impeccable, easily the type to attract girls.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Han Jiaxue did not reach out her hand in return. Instead, it was Bai Zhongqi who walked up with a chuckle and shook hands with Yang Yixian.

A flaw appeared on Yang Yixian's perfect expression, and he quickly withdrew his hand, seemingly wiping it subtly against his trouser seam, as if he disliked shaking hands with a man.

But, considering himself well-mannered and cultured, he couldn't lose face in front of a beautiful woman. He still pretended to be polite, nodding and asking, "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

Before Bai Zhongqi or Han Jiaxue could speak, Zhao Wenling interjected: "This is Jiajia's friend, Mr. Bai."

Bai Zhongqi glanced at Zhao Wenling, who had taken the liberty of introducing him. She had chosen not to call him Han Jiaxue's boyfriend, but merely a friend, which slightly irritated him. His glance revealed a hint of the assertiveness he had previously kept hidden, making Zhao Wenling's heart beat faster, a touch of fear setting in.

"This bumpkin, acting so fierce; he's definitely not a good person. I need to get him away from Jiajia quickly," thought Zhao Wenling. She failed to see Bai Zhongqi's assertiveness as anything more than aggression.

At this moment, Yang Yixian found Bai Zhongqi especially annoying, the man who seemed to be deliberately standing between him and Han Jiaxue, probably the rumored boyfriend. Yang Yixian had snatched plenty of girls from others, and sometimes he found that more exciting. Bai Zhongqi irritated him, and Yang Yixian was the type to hold a grudge.

Since Bai Zhongqi had annoyed him, he'd find his pleasure in retaliation. Nothing felt better than to take Bai Zhongqi's girlfriend and see the look of sorrow and despair on his face.

For the time being, Yang Yixian maintained the facade of a gentleman, inviting Bai Zhongqi and the two ladies into the restaurant.
