Chapter 610 - CONGRATULATIONS (1/2)

Wang Che was not in the office working as Shun suspected. Rather, he was in the private room of a nightclub with an old friend. The two of them were not on as great terms as they used to be, but their current relationship was not as bad as it had been a while back.

”I was surprised to hear from you.” Qi Han looked at Wang Che with a hint of anger in his eyes.

The two of them had reconciled, but Qi Han still felt like Wang Che betrayed him by not telling him about Hu Lei. He did not care if Wang Che was trying to protect his feelings and prevent a dangerous situation with Zhong Feng.

He believed that Wang Che should have been on his side because they were friends.

An irrational part of him believed that he might have won over Hu Lei if he found out about her sooner. It did not matter to him that Wang Che met Hu Lei when she and Zhong Feng went to play at Shun's Hidden Realm.

Qi Han never stood a chance with her, but he refused to accept that there was nothing he could have done.

”I am back in the city and need some information. It only makes sense for me to do business with you.” Wang Che responded evenly, ignoring the flash of anger.

Qi Han swirled the brown liquid in his glass and looked at Wang Che keenly. ”I heard that you have been staying in Mountain Ridge. You have become quite the wonder child. Your Clarion Extreme is the talk of every second generation in the city.”

”I have my moments.” Wang Che did not boast unnecessarily.

”Why did you decide to build the motor city in Mountain Ridge?” QI Han asked after a leisurely sip of his drink.

”It is a decent location, and the people in the city are wealthy enough to throw money at luxuries.” Wang Che did not rush Qi Han. He understood that Qi Han was just being petty.

”I thought it was because of your little boy toy.” Qi Han had a strange grin as he looked at Wang Che in a challenge.

Wang Che did not respond as expected. He was not afraid of Qi Han because he knew all his tricks. The man wanted to fight with him. Perhaps, he hoped to satisfy his ego. But it was more likely that he was trying to feel something.

”He is quite cute, isn't he?” Wang Che said with a smile. ”But the difference between him and a boy toy is that he is not after money or power from me. He just likes being around me. The same cannot be said about you and Murong Yue. By the way, I hear congratulations are in order.”

Qi Han slammed his glass on the table with undue force, causing his drink to splash. He did not want to hear Wang Che mention his relationship with Murong Yue in that princely and unflustered manner. It was irritating.

He would not admit it, but Wang Che's relationship with that foolish Shun was much better. He was not under any illusion that Murong Yue loved him. It was only a bid for her to protect herself since the Murong family was experiencing internal strife.

At first, their relationship was based on the information that Murong Yue had on Hu Lei. She had even managed to find a few old photos of Hu Lei from Lu Liang's old possessions. He was like an addict who could not say to even the tiniest morsel of information about Hu Lei.

And then one night, it just happened. Well, it did not just happen. He was drunk and sad, and Murong Yue was there to provide comfort. She did not drug him or otherwise coerce him. She just provided comfort when he needed it.
