Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 524 The Boss

Su Nan watched his friend grow increasingly despondent, feeling that love was indeed a harmful thing.

The scene of Bao Shaojin and Lin Yue self-harming was still vivid in his mind, and now they both looked half-dead again. Su Nan felt a deep melancholy.

"With a face like yours, if you liked someone else, you’d probably have kids by now," Su Nan said nonchalantly.

Lin Yue didn’t react at all to his teasing. "Save that line for the boss," he replied.

Su Nan, "..." He wasn’t suicidal, so how could he possibly say such reckless things to Bao Shaojin.

Just as Lin Yue finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

A tall, imposing figure walked in gracefully, his face seemed covered by a layer of frost, eyes solemn. As he moved closer, both Lin Yue and Su Ran in the room felt a chill down their spines.

Lin Yue, "..."

Su Ran, "..."

Aside from the soft music lingering in the air, the room fell completely silent. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Bao Shaojin walked over to Su Nan, looked at the reflections on the glass table, then sat down slowly and drank a glass of wine.

Su Nan and Lin Yue exchanged looks in silence.

Recently, the rumors about the marriage alliance between the Bao Family and Lin Family had become increasingly intense. Even some insiders held banquets deliberately inviting Lin Lin to attend, with everyone knowing the reason.

It was to win her favor before marrying into the Bao Family.

Lin Lin was Lin Yue’s cousin. Of course, Lin Yue supported the union, but some things couldn’t be forced, especially when it involved Bao Shaojin. After all, he wouldn’t blindly follow his family’s decisions.

Even though the news was known to everyone, Lin Yue knew very well that his cousin was clinging onto this hope.

He had warned Lin Lin before, but she had lofty ambitions, always dreaming of becoming the wife of the Bao heir. She didn’t realize that she couldn’t even win his heart, let alone claim the title of Young Madam.

Bao Shaojin had been drinking continuously since he sat down. When he lit a cigarette, Su Nan looked at his two friends, unwilling to witness another incident like the last time—it was terrifying.

"I invited you out to relax, why are you drowning in alcohol?" Su Nan asked, pretending to be lighthearted.

Meng Heming shot a sharp look at him.

Su Nan, "Alright, forget I said anything."

Lin Yue got up and walked to them, finding a nearby seat to sit. He hissed at Su Nan’s back, "Coward."

Su Nan swallowed his annoyance. What did he do to deserve serving these two lords?

Seeing that his two friends were oblivious, Su Nan placed his hopes on another reckless person.

He took out his phone and dialed a number deftly. Just as he was about to speak, a leisurely voice came through.

"No time!"

Then came the "beep beep" sound, as the other party hung up without hesitation.

Staring at his phone screen, Su Nan was dumbfounded for a moment, swearing inwardly, "Can Qin Huai never part from women for even a moment?"

"You just realizing that?" Lin Yue picked up a glass of wine and took a swig, his face instantly scrunching up, "This wine is strong!"

"Of course, it’s the boss’s stash," Su Nan boasted.

Bao Shaojin had stored a lot of good wine at "Qin Land", occasionally tasting it with everyone gathered. Just a single bottle could cost millions.

After a few drinks, each person wore a different expression.

As a bystander, watching his friends struggle with their emotions, Su Nan felt unsettled. Despite wanting to seem irritating, he too longed to meet a woman who moved his heart, though knowing how slim the chance was. He sighed.

At this point, Su Nan turned his gaze to Bao Shaojin. Thanks to the alcohol, his courage swelled a bit. "I just don’t get it. Your younger cousin can win over the girl, why is it so hard for you?"

Su Nan tilted his head, his eyes wandering slightly, giving off a slightly drunken vibe.

Lin Yue held his breath, his grip on the wine glass stiffening, closely observing someone’s reaction. Though he had always looked down on Su Nan’s slickness, he had long wanted to ask the question Su Nan just raised.

The brightly lit and colorful room grew tense, and the attendants cautiously withdrew to the side, knowing what could and could not be said here.

Su Nan seemed unaffected, fully relaxed. Indeed, alcohol boosts one’s courage.

Bao Shaojin exhaled a smoke ring, the swirling smoke obscured his vision. Staring at the haze, his gaze turned cold and fierce, "Soon!"

"Soon? What do you mean?"

"Soon? What do you mean?"

Lin Yue and Su Nan asked in unison, glancing at each other, both puzzled.

Bao Shaojin ignored their inquiring looks, taking another puff before his mind cleared slightly.

Although he wished to stay with the girl, during their interactions, he could hardly suppress his dark desires, which is why he left her home and came here to drink with some cronies.

Before the girl severed ties with Bao Cheng completely, he couldn’t cross the line, absolutely not...

"Do I need to report my affairs to you?" Bao Shaojin’s eyes grew darker.

"Heh, of course not, we’re just concerned," Lin Yue flattered.

Su Nan played dead, continuing to drink.

"If you have the time, worry about your own backyard," Bao Shaojin lifted his eyelids, his gaze sharp.

Lin Yue was taken aback, quickly coming to his senses, realizing that secrets have no walls. It wasn’t surprising his friend knew. With a dry voice, Lin Yue replied, "I’ll handle it."

"Jingrou has already been hurt once, she’s just recovered. Don’t go overboard," Bao Shaojin glanced at Lin Yue, a warning in his eyes.

They had all grown up in the same circle, their friendships varied in depth.

"Hmph, she’s like a chicken ready to fight now, who dares to mess with her!" Lin Yue felt a sense of helplessness, recalling his repeated failures in front of her recently, bitterness welled up in his heart.

"Don’t dare to mess with her?" Su Nan heard Lin Yue’s words and let out a sinister smile, sneering, "Then how did she end up with a bun in the oven?"

With Su Nan’s words hanging in the air, his tipsy mind didn’t register much. But when he noticed the atmosphere getting chilly, Su Nan cluelessly turned his head, locking eyes with Lin Yue’s enraged stare.

"W-what do you mean by that?" Lin Yue’s voice was low and hoarse, his eyes bloodshot, as he suddenly stood and walked to Su Nan, disbelief written all over his face.
