After having hotpot with Yu Yan and her family, Mr. Ying and Wang Lei had talked with Yu Yan\'s mother first, especially with having her as the housekeeper for the house while they temporarily stay there.

Afterward, Mr. Ying had escorted the whole family to the house, leaving Mr. Wang Lei behind as he said that he is going to meet with Pan An tonight.

Both of them agreed to meet in the mall where they are now. Afterward, they are going to a bar that Pan An\'s family owned, already having a room where they could talk.

As Wang Lei was patiently waiting for Pan An in front of the mall\'s entrance, suddenly, Pan An arrived with his flashy car, making Wang Lei smile as he immediately recognized whose car this is.

The moment the window rolled up, Wang Lei arched a brow at him, making Pan An smile at him as he greeted him.

"What are you waiting for? Hop on!"

Shaking his head, Wang Lei entered the car, laughing as he couldn\'t believe that until now, Pan An is a car enthusiast who enjoyed driving whatever time of day.

The moment he sat down, he buckled himself on his seat, looking at his best friend with a smirk on his face.

"You seem so excited. Is it because our first plan was canceled and this was thought out of the blue?" he asked, Pan An, chuckling then gave him an answer.

"Yeah, you could say that," he said, already driving to the bar. "I didn\'t expect myself to text you so suddenly, too. To think that it\'s even the weekend today," he said, making him furrow his brows afterward. "Which reminds me… why are you working on a Sunday?"

Wang Lei couldn\'t help but sigh. With him running his hand through his hair, he spoke to Pan An, catching up to him with the days that they didn\'t hang out.

"We are rushing for the opening of a new branch in City B. Some employees were told to come this Sunday, but then again, those who were only willing. They\'re paid extra. Other than that, I had other cases to settle."

With the traffic light showing red, Pan An stopped the car for a while, continuing the conversation as they waited.

"And what is this case that you are settling? It seems to be so important that it made you so busy this Sunday other than the opening of something. You didn\'t even take a break. I\'m so curious since you\'re usually playing around this time."

Wang Lei couldn\'t help but roll his eyes at him. With a sigh heard, he instead still answered his question, surprising Pan An with what he said.

"Qing Yuan is the father of my secretary\'s son. Turns out that he is threatening her life and her family\'s life. So I had to settle it."

"Wait…"

Pan An turned his head to his best friend and narrowed his eyes at him, in disbelief.

"You… involved yourself in the case of your secretary and this is Qing Yuan… and she has a son? Wow… I can\'t help but wonder why a womanizer such as you is so engrossed in helping your employee when usually, you don\'t care."

With the remark said by Pan An, the traffic light showed green, indicating for the vehicles to move on. With Pan An continuing his drive, Wang Lei looked outside the window and talked to his best friend, already in the mood to drink as he can\'t wait for them to reach the bar.

"To be honest, I\'m not so sure either. There is something with Yu Yan that is making me involve myself so much. It\'s awkward since I have never been this… you know… interactive."

"Yeah, you said it right," Pan An said, scoffing at the same time. "By now if I ever called you, you would ignore me and tell me that you are not interested—already on bed with a girl."

Wang Lei couldn\'t help but grin. His best friend was right, though. He is known to be flirtatious—already having a group of ladies at his beck and call.

However, since being involved with Yu Yan recently, he noticed that he indeed is changing his habits—shockingly, drastically, too!

Wanting not to talk about himself further, he shook his head, changing the topic as he asked Pan An a question.

"Anyway, enough about me. How about you?"

Pan An rolled his eyes. Before they knew it, they already arrived in front of a posh, sophisticated club, the bouncer already noticing who arrived.

With him quick on his toes and has removed the sign specifically for Pan An\'s space, Pan An parked his car, Wang Lei and Pan An already leaving the car as he handed the keys to the trusted bouncer.

"Mr. Pan An, Mr. Wang Lei, we have been expecting you."

"En," Pan An replied, nodding at the same time.

With them being led inside of the bar by the bouncer, Wang Lei and the owner followed them, pushing themselves through the crowd as they made their way to the private room reserved for them.

Wang Lei didn\'t mind that Pan An didn\'t answer his question for a while. It only meant that they are going to talk about this once they enter the private room, also making it more interesting since Pan An seems to want to tell him a story—an interesting one at that.

As they were already in front of the private room, the bouncer who led them there opened the door for their entry, seeing that the room is already prepared with drinks and at the same time, food.

Noticing that they have a lot of bottles prepared, Wang Lei scrunched up his nose, saying his comment.

"I think I won\'t drink so much. I had hotpot."

With Pan An closing the door behind him, he arched a brow at Wang Lei, not believing what he has heard.

"You… had hotpot?"

He also chuckled, not expecting that his best friend would try eating hotpot.

"Now, is this a secretary or a goddess?"

"Stop it," Wang Lei laughed, already sitting on the black, leather couch. "I could say the same to you. This Shu Xian, my sister\'s best friend. I bet my money on it that something interesting has happened between you two?"

With Pan An scoffing, he rolled his eyes at his best friend as he sat across him, already opening their first bottle.

With him also preparing the shot glasses, both of them knew that this is going to be an interesting night—a night with a lot of surprising talks.
