Tang Guo once again unleashed her invincible charm, with Lin Bao'er adding fuel to the fire, eager to join the fun outside. Although Shen Momo knew the potential dangers outside, she had no choice but to agree to their persistent demands. She knew that even though Tang Guo was willing to accept that woman, there were still some obstacles in her heart. Looking at her delicate and lovely face, she felt a surge of affection.
"Ye Qiu, come with us," Shen Momo stood up and said. Having a man around provided a sense of security.
"I'm hungry," Ye Qiu replied. He didn't want to go anywhere until he had filled his stomach.
"There are lots of good foods at the bar," Tang Guo said with a sly smile. She assumed Ye Qiu, being from the countryside, didn't understand much.
Hearing there was food, Ye Qiu no longer objected. As a bodyguard, it was indeed his duty to accompany and protect his employers when they went out.
The four of them took just one BMW, with Shen Momo driving, Ye Qiu in the passenger seat, and Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er in the back. Being so close to Shen Momo, Ye Qiu could smell her natural fragrance. The pleasant scent filled him up almost as much as food would.
However, Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er had complaints about Ye Qiu not knowing how to drive. Tang Guo huffed, "Ye Qiu, you need to learn to drive."
"Exactly. What man can't drive? Making Sister Momo your chauffeur—aren't you ashamed?" Lin Bao'er chimed in, always backing up Tang Guo. The two of them were a well-coordinated team, rarely bested by anyone. Tonight, they had successfully convinced the calm and wise Shen Momo to go out.
Ye Qiu, busy indulging in the pleasant scent—er, smelling the fragrance—didn't bother responding to them.
Arguing with lunatics makes one a fool, arguing with fools makes one a lunatic, and arguing with women makes one both.
Beijing at night was a sea of neon, lights flashing everywhere. The cool moon hung high, with countless lights on the ground responding in kind. The endless stream of cars, the bustling crowds on the sidewalks, and the fashionably dressed men and women, along with wandering musicians carrying guitars, all contributed to Beijing's vibrant nightlife.
Following Tang Guo's directions, they parked in front of a bar called "Legend." Clearly, Tang Guo had been here before, leading the way. Lin Bao'er and Shen Momo followed, while Ye Qiu stayed outside for a moment to survey the surroundings and the bar's location before quickly catching up to protect them.
The "Legend" bar had a Western-style decor but was neither rustic nor typically English. It had a modern design with a blend of various elements. The bar area was a performance space with colorful lighting effects.
Music and welcoming voices filled the air, replacing the silence with liveliness. The flashing neon lights added to the vibrant atmosphere. People talked loudly, and young men and women came and went, each with flirtatious smiles, exuding a strong scent of hormones.
The first floor was a hall for drinking and dancing. There was a platform in the middle where scantily clad women were performing pole dances. Ye Qiu couldn't help but sigh at the sight of their pale, enticing skin under the lights. When would he ever get rich and lose his virginity?
Tang Guo had already reserved a private room, so after reporting her name and room number, a manager led them to the second floor.
The private room was large enough to accommodate a gathering of over twenty people. Tang Guo ordered two bottles of red wine, a dozen beers, fruit platters, and snacks for them, and roasted lamb ribs for Ye Qiu to fill his stomach.
The manager looked at them and hesitated before asking with a smile, "Would you like to have some handsome guys accompany you?"
Handsome guys? Were they referring to male escorts? Ye Qiu didn't expect this bar to offer such services.
"No need. We brought our own," Ye Qiu said, pointing to his face. Why ask such a silly question? Didn't they see how handsome he was?
The manager, who wasn't bad-looking herself, was defeated by Ye Qiu's retort and left in embarrassment. Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er laughed heartily, even Shen Momo couldn't help but smile at Ye Qiu's remark.
After giving a hundred-yuan tip to send away the room attendant, Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er excitedly ran to choose songs.
After some back and forth, Tang Guo won the right to choose the first song and picked Liang Jingru's "Courage." Tang Guo's clean and clear voice almost perfectly rendered this popular KTV song, impressing Ye Qiu.
Seeing her singing with such emotion, Ye Qiu thought it was amusing. How could a kid who had never been in love understand feelings?
Lin Bao'er chose a cute and playful song, "Two is Just Right." Watching her sing and dance on the sofa, Ye Qiu couldn't help but applaud, putting down his lamb ribs. Her bouncing chest under the little tank top was truly spectacular.
After Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er sang, they coaxed Shen Momo to sing. Honestly, Ye Qiu was also curious to hear Shen Momo sing. With such a beautiful voice, her singing would surely be heavenly. However, knowing her personality, she probably wouldn't easily agree.
Sure enough, despite their efforts, Shen Momo remained unmoved.
When the drinks arrived, Tang Guo seemed intent on using alcohol to dispel her gloomy feelings, continually toasting everyone. She even came over to Ye Qiu and downed three beers with him, only to remember later the scene at the restaurant earlier where Ye Qiu single-handedly took on everyone. She regretted it immediately—challenging him to a drinking contest was a bad idea.
Drinking beer and red wine together, Ye Qiu accepted every drink, downing them as if they were water. Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er were also going all out, continuously drinking. Unlike Ye Qiu, they quickly turned red-faced and bleary-eyed, though the blush added a touch of feminine charm to them. Shen Momo sipped her wine slowly, staying sober.
When an alternative, decadent song started with a man's husky, raspy voice rapping, Tang Guo glanced at Ye Qiu, then grabbed the microphone and started singing with Lin Bao'er.

For girls with a bit of a Taiwanese accent
My adrenaline hits red alert without a second thought
After all, you're not an angel and I'm not a saint
Fashion beast, please leave, I've had enough
You're a circus-trained animal
All the male and female models, what are you showing off

Ye Qiu was dumbfounded. These two women were something else. Even singing this kind of song?
Watching the three beautiful women in front of him, Ye Qiu felt a rush of happiness. What a scene to look forward to.
