Huo Yanzhao cocked an eyebrow. “Shenhan, is this the bartender you mentioned?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Yun Shenhan smiled. “Isn’t she interesting?”
Huo Yanzhao nodded, then turned to look at He Jingyao. “Are you alright?”
“I’m very fine.” His voice had turned a little hoarse. After answering, he did something that made the other two’s eyes pop out of their sockets.
He placed the glass in his hand on the table, stood up, and walked toward the bartender.
Yun Shenhan jumped in fright. “Jingyao, what’s wrong with you?”
He moved to stop him but was stopped by Huo Yanzhao.
The latter had an intrigued look. “He’s fine.”
“Hm?” Yun Shenhan was perplexed.
“Watch.” Huo Yanzhao revealed a meaningful smile.

Su Zhixi, of course, knew that the small group of men opposite were looking at her, but she did not give two hoots about it.
A year and a half ago, she’d started working part-time here in the Four Seasons Bar. She had been stared at with all sorts of gazes and had already gotten used to it. Gazes were just that.
This job was introduced to her by her senior, Yun Xuefei. The Four Seasons Bar was her senior’s brother’s establishment. Having been here for more than a year, she had not met with any form of harassment. Hence, she was not worried.
She concentrated on mixing drinks. Her mixing skills might not be any better than other bartenders’, but hers was much more eye-pleasing. She had a strong sense of rhythm and could mix a cocktail suitable to the atmosphere with any song.
This job was an easy one for her.
However, today, there was a gaze that was exceptionally fervent on her, making her feel slightly discomfited.
Su Zhixi eyed the tall man walking toward her from the corner of her eye, but she did not even have the desire to look up. She believed that Yun Xuefei’s brother would protect her and that no one would dare to make trouble in this bar.
Alas, what she did not know was that the person she would meet today was a man that even Yun Shenhan could not handle.
Feeling the man approaching, she put on a light smile and passed the Blood Mary she had just finished mixing over.
“Sir, Bloody Mary. I wish you an intensely pleasurable night.”
Her voice was slightly different from usual—there was a little hoarseness amid its crispness, making her give off an enchanting and sexy feel.
Her fingers, along with the glass, were caught by a warm hand.
“Seeing you now, I believe I will definitely have an intensely pleasurable night.”
This voice was low, sexy, and slightly hoarse… She jerked her head up and met a pair of dark eyes.
It was a pair of eyes that were even more charming than the night sky.
She felt her heart stop for a second.
Her breath hastened, and she could no longer keep up her cold expression. Instead, she revealed a look of awkwardness and panic. “Y… Young Mater He, why are you here?”
He Jingyao held on to her hand and took a sip of the Bloody Mary. The color of the cocktail dyed his lips an alluring red.
Su Zhixi felt as though she would drop the glass at any moment…
“I’m the one who is more curious about that.” He gave her a deep look and removed the glass from her hand. He placed it on the bar top and held her hands, interlacing it one by one with his.
He felt that this way of holding hands was more joyous. He could also feel every fluctuation of her emotions more clearly.
Su Zhixi’s face slowly flushed as she answered softly, “I am working part-time here… Young Master He, can you pretend to not know me?”
