Hearing the sigh, Qin Lixin knew the rat was caught in the trap. He had coincidentally stumbled upon the sight of him and his wife having dinner.
Initially, Qin Lixin was going to ignore it but later on, he remembered that it was the busiest time of year. His Mom couldn't have allowed him to go to the dinner. Nah, she wasn't generous at all.
With a slight smile, he patiently waited for Assistant Fang to say something. "Young Master, I heard there is a basketball match being held at the university. It is such a good weather today, you shouldn't waste it by staying at home."
Qin Lixin hid his smirk under the pretence of shock and disappointment as he turned.
"What? Are you bribing me now? I never expected you to be of such a character, Assistant Fang!"
Assistant Fang shut his eyes tightly and politely let out the next words. "I insist, Young Master. Maybe you should go and enjoy with your friends and...and should forget about these photos."
This invitation felt like music to Qin Lixin's ears. It was probably the first time he was able to get something against Assistant Fang. Not sure about him, but he was thoroughly enjoying it.
"I don't think I can do this. Mom, she trusts me a lot. Even if she is not here, I can't break the promise that I have made to her." Qin Lixin had a difficult expression on his face. It was as if he was stuck in a huge conflict.
Assistant Fang patted his forehead and with difficulty managed to form a smile. "As long as this matter would be kept hidden from her, I don't think Madam Qin would have any reason to feel bad."
Qin Lixin acted to be hesitating a lot before he gave in. "Fine. I-I would have never agreed to something so cheap but because it's you, I think I can go with this." Qin Lixin passed him a genuine smile, "After all, you were the one who used to play with me when I was a kid."
Assistant Fang had a tight-lipped smile. It was he who was blackmailed yet Young Master made it all appear as if he was the one being a victim.
Yang Feiyu had his mouth hanging. "You are cruel."
"I have been born to be." Qin Lixin agreed.
"Let's go, we have a person to settle today."
They both entered the VIP lounge where a few people were already sitting. Qin Lixin clicked his tongue in detest but recalling they have a favour to ask, he unwillingly co-operated. "Just for this day." He muttered under his breath and proceeded to sit on the front couch. While sitting, he threw a quick casual look at the person already sitting there.
"You must be in a really good mood after threatening Assistant Fang, looking at how you did not even ask that person to vacate the couch." Yang Feiyu mumbled in a voice low enough for Qin Lixin to understand.
"We have a purpose to accomplish, remember?" Qin Lixin mumbled back.
"By the way, who is that girl? As far as I know, it must be the first time for any female to be here. That person hate girls even more than us."
"How would I know? Might be a girlfriend or something."
"Too bad her face is hidden by the cap and mask."
"Let me focus on the game," replied Qin Lixin impatiently.
After about five minutes, Yang Feiyu patted his shoulder. "Hey, Qin Lixin?"
"What?"
He wiggled his eyebrows. "Wanna exchange seats? She has such a nice fragrance!"
"No." Qin Lixin nonchalantly but instantly denied.
"Why? Don't be like that! The last time I checked, you hated being around the girls with strong scents."
Qin Lixin indeed said that.
But this person's fragrance wasn't annoying him, surprisingly.
And he wasn't feeling irritated too. Noticing Yang Feiyu's eyes were set up on him, he formed a random excuse. "I don't want you to lose concentration. Better focus on the person for whom we are here."

When the first half of the match ended, it was Cheng Qi's team leading the match.
During break time, they exited the main court. Zhao Yuhui was pondering whether to go to see them or not and just then the door of the waiting room opened.
"We might need to change the teammates. One of us got injured." Cheng Qi announced as soon as he came along with Xu Dong.
"Sure, who would be going though?"
"Let's keep the original line-up and only interchange the position of shooting guard because he injured his arm-"
"How about us?" Cheng Qi was cut off by the manly voice which surprisingly came from beside her. Zhao Yuhui looked up at the two men standing from the same couch as her.
Were they sitting here the entire time?
Cheng Qi's expression turned grim finding them here. "What are you doing here?" That was when he saw Zhao Yuhui sitting there. Looking at her, he was a bit surprised and concerned. "I thought you would have gone by now."
