He Haobo was the first to spot his idol. Because it was rare to see him, he was so excited that he immediately shouted out his idol's name: "Brother Wen Qi! You've come!"
At that sound, everyone's attention turned to the doorway, and Wen Qi, standing there, immediately became the center of attention, drawing all eyes to him.
Of course, Wen Qi had no interest in these idle young masters and ladies, and walked straight towards Wen Cheng.
Let's not beat around the bush, he wants to smoke Wen Cheng.
Everyone consciously made way for Wen Qi, leading directly to the bar where he was.
Several outsiders, unaware of the facts, went to the subway, the elderly, and their cell phones.
If your company is having a team building event, choosing this place is brilliant!
...
"Wen Cheng." Wen Qi called out to Wen Cheng, but his tone was definitely not as relaxed as usual.
He Haobo and Yao Xingwei both swallowed hard.
Of course, Wang Hongshen on the other side developed Parkinson's disease.
Wen Cheng heard a familiar voice calling her name. Turning her head, she saw Wen Qi's usual grumpy face, but she felt an instinctive sense of peace, as if she had finally found an island to rely on in a vast ocean.
Wen Cheng stood up straight, intending to take two steps to Wen Qi, but her legs suddenly went weak.
"Thump!"
Amidst the shocked and completely unexpected expressions of everyone, Wen Cheng knelt before Wen Qi.
Well, there's really no need for such a grand gesture.
Tomorrow's episode of "The 23 Tales of a Wealthy Family" is going to be quite interesting! [The usually cool and domineering Wen Cheng actually knelt down in front of Wen Qi in public just to get a little something in return. Is this a moral collapse or a distortion of human nature? For the specific details, well, you'll have to ask the gossip-loving viewers that night!]
Even the usually composed Wen Qi never expected that his younger brother would be so reckless.
And having just knelt down without warning, it must still be in a lot of pain.
Sure enough, looking down, Wen Cheng, who had just been so arrogant, was now on the verge of tears.
Wen Qi reached out to pull his silly younger brother up, but Wen Cheng immediately hugged his legs, his fluffy curly hair brushing against his thighs. Wen Qi restrained himself from kicking him away in public.
"Brother Qi, I've been bullied~" Wen Cheng's voice was thick with a nasal tone.
Wang Hongshen: You cunning, scheming, green tea bitch from a wealthy family!
Wen Qi's eyes darkened, and he looked up to scan his surroundings.
Everyone took a step back in fear, afraid that Wen Cheng would look up and point out the people who were making sarcastic remarks on the side.
"Who?" Wen Qi uttered a single word calmly.
But the sheer power of that word almost made Wang Hongshen faint. Was the Wang family really going to be finished?
Wen Cheng nudged Wen Qi's thigh weakly, then suddenly stopped responding.
Wen Qi looked down and saw that Wen Cheng had actually fallen asleep against his leg within seconds! Looking at the half-finished glass of wine beside his seat, Wen Qi knew from years of experience that he was already quite drunk.
It was too late to call a driver, so Wen Qi thought for a moment and resigned himself to carrying Wen Cheng on his shoulders. Yes, that's right, he carried her on his back. The moment he lifted Wen Cheng, the faint scent of lemon black tea wafted into his nose again, only this time tinged with a hint of intoxication. Her limp body felt like it had no bones.
Yao Xingwei held back for a while but couldn't resist any longer. She took small, quick steps to slightly block Wen Qi.
“Brother Wen Qi, it’s inconvenient to carry both of you like this. Why don’t you put them down and Hao Bo and I can help you lift them into the car?”
Wen Qi glanced at Yao Xingwei seemingly casually but actually carefully, then relaxed his guard after three seconds and declined indifferently, "No need."
"Okay!" Yao Xingwei was the kind of person who didn't dare to contradict Wen Qi.
"By the way, let me know about tonight's events via message," Wen Qi's words plunged Wang Hongshen, who had just entered a period of revelry, back into despair.
Wen Qi didn't like staying in this kind of environment for too long. After saying that, he led Wen Cheng outside, but suddenly stopped at the door.
Even without carefully investigating Wen Cheng's situation, his older brother knew where the problem lay. People will always resist an outsider who is different from themselves, especially those from groups with significant differences in social status.
At home, Wen Cheng simply remarked that everyone laughed at him for being unsophisticated, but there were bound to be even harsher things said.
Since this younger brother wasn't so annoying anymore, Wen Qi naturally acknowledged that he was a child of the Wen family. The Wen family never needed outsiders to manage them!
Wen Qi turned around, his icy aura overwhelming the lively atmosphere like a blizzard. Everyone turned to look at him, their hearts pounding with anxiety. They were afraid Wen Qi would hold them accountable. Nothing serious would happen, but if Wen Qi said a few words to their parents, they could easily lose their allowance for three months and be dragged back to inherit the family fortune ahead of time—the kind of person most of them disliked.
“Wen Cheng is my younger brother. If any of you have a problem with him, you don’t need to come to him. Just come to the company and find me. I will make an exception and see you anytime if you have this reason.”
A chill ran through the entire audience. Were they out of their minds?
But what's even more terrifying is that Wen Qi admits to Wen Cheng's existence.
There's a saying in the industry: you may not have met Wen Qi, but you absolutely cannot have been unaware of Wen Qi's methods. Anyone Wen Qi says he'll protect is a fool to mess with.
After Wen Qi left, everyone cast sympathetic glances at Wang Hongshen, whose legs were shaking like a leaf.

Chapter 13 The Little Green Tea's Questioning
Wen Qi drove Wen Cheng home, and after parking the car, he dragged the drunkard who was fast asleep in the back seat up and carried him on his shoulder again.
This time, Wen Cheng was a little more sober and even groaned in discomfort, a sound like a cat's meow. However, Wen Qi showed no sympathy for his younger brother who was playing so wildly.
As he walked out of the garage, he bumped right into Wen Yunyi, who was returning from outside.
Wen Yunyi didn't see Wen Cheng's face, but he recognized her from the familiar clothes.
He had talked to his mother before and knew that Wen Cheng had also gone out to play, but he didn't expect that it would be Wen Qi who picked her up.
Wen Yunyi had never been close to his older brother since childhood, and at first he didn't pay much attention to it. But as his brother became more and more prominent and stood out in this circle full of talented people, many people became friends with him because of his brother. He Haobo was a typical example. Gradually, although Wen Yunyi was afraid, he still hoped that his brother could be close to him. Unfortunately, this wish had not been fulfilled for more than ten years, and Wen Cheng had only been here for a short time.
Wen Yunyi's eyes suddenly reddened, and he quickly walked in front of Wen Qi, blocking his way.
"Big brother, I went out today too, why didn't you come to check on me? Is it because Wen Cheng is the Wen family's biological son that you don't care about me anymore?"
Wen Yunyi spoke with such grievance that tears were almost streaming down his face, yet he managed to turn his own flaws into points that garnered others' sympathy.
Wen Qi's calm face remained expressionless, because he knew perfectly well what kind of nonsense his younger brother was spouting!
The current Wen Cheng is incomparable to Wen Yunyi because their starting points and the gap between them are too large.
"You went out with Wen Cheng, who was previously unmarried, while Wen Cheng went out with your friends. Who do you think I should care about?" Wen Qi spoke with his usual authoritative air.
Wen Yunyi was startled by Wen Qi's words and even took a few steps back.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Qin Zhou and I are just ordinary friends."
Wen Qi didn't want to say much to him, because no matter how light Wen Cheng was, she was still an adult.
It was too heavy, and he wanted to unload the burden.
"I don't care about your relationship, but you need to know one thing: no matter what, Wen Cheng is still a child of the Wen family. Your aunt and uncle hate infighting the most, so you'd better watch yourself."
Wen Yunyi clenched his fist.
"Brother, we've been brothers for over twenty years. Fighting amongst ourselves? Didn't you see he'd been trying to kick me out these past few days? Did you even say a word for me then?" Wen Yunyi spoke with growing agitation, but he just couldn't bear to watch; his eyes reddened as he spoke.
"Did I say a word for him back then? Getting along is always your own business. If I only recognized your uncle and aunt, then after knowing the truth, I wouldn't treat you as my younger brother anymore. After all, Wen Cheng is their biological son," Wen Qi said indifferently, completely unaffected by Wen Yunyi's tearful complaints.
Wen Yunyi was startled by Wen Qi's idea; his eyes reddened, but he couldn't utter a word.
Wen Qi didn't expect Wen Yunyi to respond to him much; he simply carried Wen Cheng inside as a matter of duty.
Wen Yunyi could only silently follow Wen Qi inside.
If jealous gazes could turn into knives, Wen Yunyi would have already stabbed Wen Cheng, who was sleeping soundly against Wen Qi's back, with a thousand holes in her!
Wen Qi carried Wen Cheng into the room, which was still decorated in a tasteless, ostentatious style; even the lampposts were inlaid with gold.
Wen Cheng used to think it was vulgar, but now she feels that besides being vulgar, it seems to have something else going on.
After placing Wen Qi on the bed, Wen Qi's arms began to feel slightly numb.
Wen Cheng was restless in bed, turning over and hugging the blanket. Her white shirt was slightly lifted, revealing a section of her fair waist.
Wen Qi's eyes gradually darkened. As a last act of kindness from his brother, he covered him with a thin blanket.
Then the entire space became so quiet that only Wen Cheng's soft snoring and Wen Qi's uneven breathing could be heard.
Wen Qi didn't intend to stay long and turned to leave, when he heard restless rummaging behind him.
Wen Qi turned around and saw that Wen Cheng had kicked the blanket to the ground in an extremely disobedient manner, and then spread her body out in a stark sleeping position, completely unrecognizable from her usual image.
His shirt was completely wrinkled from sleeping, and the third button was undone, revealing a large expanse of skin. He looked completely unguarded.
An ordinary man would have reacted by now.
But Wen Qi is no ordinary man.
He drinks, argues, and is a complete little liar.
Wen Qi thought for a moment and decided not to leave. Instead, he turned around and opened Wen Cheng's wardrobe, which still had a tacky, nouveau riche vibe.
Wen Qi looked around and found the three sturdiest leather belts in Wen Cheng's wardrobe.

Chapter 14 Acting Cute
The morning sun shone into the dim room right on time. The glaring light made the dumpling spirit on the bed uncomfortable, and he wanted to reach out to shield his eyes, but he found that he couldn't remove his hand.
"Ugh~" Wen Cheng groaned in discomfort, his head throbbing. The direct sunlight made him even more annoyed, and he could only reluctantly open his sleepy eyes.
"Mmm~ Mmm!"
Wen Cheng opened her eyes and tried to reach out her hand, only to find that she had been kidnapped by the blanket!
Wen Cheng, like a toppled little bug, wanted to see what had happened to him. When he looked, good heavens, three glittering gold leather straps had bound him into three sections.
He said he had a very uncomfortable sleep last night!
