Group Dinner

At last, Ji Qinglan folded her arms and looked Xiao Bei over.

Then she nodded in satisfaction.

"My husband is so handsome!"

"I feel like I've become your model!"

Xiao Bei grumbled, but immediately sensed a wave of killing intent.

Ji Qinglan simply stared at Xiao Bei, and he could feel the imposing aura of a designer radiating from her.

Fine. Whenever Wife entered her own field, she was truly unmatched in dominance. Better not provoke her!

"Wife, it really is handsome! Haha!" Xiao Bei stood up and looked himself over in the mirror.

Looking in the mirror was fake; easing Ji Qinglan's killing intent was real.

"So you know you're handsome. If you don't want me designing for you, then I won't design for you anymore!"

Ji Qinglan said flatly as she looked at Xiao Bei.

"No, you'll do it from now on. Haha, I'll be your model for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Bei turned around and took Ji Qinglan's hand. Just then, the dorm room door opened.

The three Dog Sons looked at the two holding hands in the room.

They all gave awkward smiles.

"Uh, Fourth Brother, we didn't interrupt anything, right?"

"How about we wait outside a little longer?"

"Yeah, we can stand guard for you outside too!"

The three Dog Sons really couldn't say anything decent.

Ji Qinglan smiled slightly at that and said generously, "It's fine. I'm the one who interrupted you."

"Sister-in-law, don't say that!"

"Right, right!"

"Alright, stop messing around. Are you ready? If you are, we're heading out!"

Xiao Bei looked at them with a smile.

"We're ready!"

"Then let's go together. You've been standing around for so long today, so you must be tired," Ji Qinglan said politely to Xiao Bei's three roommates.

She then took the initiative to hook her arm through Xiao Bei's.

When they arrived downstairs at the dorm building, everyone from Class 1 had assembled.

Xiao Bei waved his hand grandly, and the group marched in force toward the Hilton Hotel not far from campus.

Xiao Bei had already reserved a large private dining room.

During the meal, the boys from Class 1 kept changing their tune, showering their Sister-in-law with flattery.

Their goal?

Anyone with even a little social awareness knew it wasn't because they genuinely wanted Ji Qinglan to introduce students from the Academy of Fine Arts to them.

In truth, out of all of Class 1, only eight of them really had what it took to pursue pretty girls from the Academy of Fine Arts. The rest were just joining in because Ji Qinglan was Xiao Bei's girlfriend.

Ji Qinglan was delighted by Xiao Bei's classmates' praise and enthusiastically invited them, "You're welcome to visit the Academy of Fine Arts sometime. As long as my Sisters are free, I'll bring them along for a mixer!"

Xiao Bei almost laughed out loud. What did that even mean? She barely had enough time to deal with him, yet those foolish sons actually believed her.

Every one of them was incredibly excited.

But because of that promise, which Xiao Bei found utterly unreliable, his classmates treated Ji Qinglan with immense respect!

To be fair, even Xiao Bei couldn't help sighing. His wife really brought honor to her man!

At that moment, Hu Jilong was undoubtedly the most excited.

"Great, great! Sister-in-law, with those words from you, I'm not far from getting a girlfriend!"

Just as Xiao Bei was about to say something, Zhu Yu beside him became unhappy.

"You bastard, haven't you always liked Yang Yuhan? What's this now? You're trying to snatch Sister-in-law's besties too?"

"Exactly. Fatty, you're being a little greedy," Zhang Zhibo chimed in.

Xiao Bei: "..."

Hu Jilong: "Who says only women are fickle? Men are too. Can't I be fickle for once?"

Everyone: "...!"

Where was his integrity?!

What a suck-up!

After dinner, Xiao Bei had originally planned to take everyone to a bar, but the sight of the radiant Ji Qinglan beside him set his heart blazing.

So Xiao Bei directly transferred 500,000 to Wang Wei and told him to take the classmates out.

Wang Wei was slightly stunned when he received Xiao Bei's transfer. He had just casually tossed him 500,000?

At the same time, everyone watching nearby gained their first real understanding of Xiao Bei's wealth!

A big shot—they absolutely had to cling tightly to the Class Monitor's thigh!

How could Ji Qinglan not know what Xiao Bei was plotting? She shyly pinched his waist!

But deep down, she was still looking forward to it!

When it came to this sort of thing, girls were generally more eager than boys; they were just usually more reserved!

(Don't argue with me. If you disagree, go find Classmate A Bin!)

After giving a few instructions, Xiao Bei drove off with Ji Qinglan.

After getting into the car, Ji Qinglan shot Xiao Bei a seductive glance.

Xiao Bei grinned.

Leaning close to his ear, Ji Qinglan said, "Go to my place!"

Xiao Bei had originally been planning to go to a hotel, but hearing her words filled him with delight. What a wonderful Wife—she had even found the venue for them!

No sooner said than done, Xiao Bei started the car and followed the navigation Ji Qinglan gave him toward her home.

The moment Xiao Bei saw the location Ji Qinglan had sent him, he knew her family was far from ordinary. She lived in Wangjiang Pavilion, one of Hangzhou's top luxury duplex residences.

It was past nine in the evening. The night was deep and quiet as Xiao Bei's car drove into Wangjiang Pavilion!

After parking, the two remained seated in the car, staring at each other.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car fell silent.

In the end, Ji Qinglan was the one who broke the silence.

"Let's go home."

After saying that, Ji Qinglan got out of the car first, her face flushed with shyness.

Xiao Bei chuckled and got out after her.

Soon, the two entered the elevator.

Ji Qinglan's home was on the twenty-eighth floor.

The elevator rose quickly, and so did their heartbeats.

At that moment, they were holding hands.

Ding-dong~!

The elevator arrived at the twenty-eighth floor. Ji Qinglan pulled Xiao Bei by the hand and led him into her home.

Wangjiang Pavilion had one residence per elevator. Once the doors opened, they were already at Ji Qinglan's home.

The elevator doors had barely closed.

When Xiao Bei swept Ji Qinglan into his arms in a princess carry.

Ji Qinglan did not struggle. Blushing furiously, she whispered in his ear, "To the master bedroom on the second floor!"

Xiao Bei had already received his get-out-of-jail-free card. Holding Ji Qinglan in his arms, he headed upstairs.

After arriving at Ji Qinglan's bedroom, Xiao Bei placed her on the bed and was about to turn on the lights.

With a red face, Ji Qinglan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Husband, don't... don't turn on the lights!"

"Leave them on. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you," Xiao Bei said.

"Turn them off. Ahem... it wastes electricity!"

After saying that, Ji Qinglan shyly buried her face. This was too embarrassing!

Xiao Bei smiled faintly. That excuse really was a bit far-fetched.

"I can afford the electricity bill. Leave them on."

"Please, Husband!" Ji Qinglan clung to Xiao Bei's arm and wheedled, blinking up at him. "Please, good Husband!"

"Will you be good, then?" Xiao Bei asked with a smile.

"I'll be good. From now on, I'll listen to Husband about everything!"

"Then let's turn on the bedside lamp," Xiao Bei said with a smile, pointing at the lamp beside the bed.

"Okay, I'll listen to my Husband!" Ji Qinglan said shyly.

"Hehe!"

"Smack!"

At that moment, only the moon knew what happened in the room.
