Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 183 Who the hell said I should thank you!

Tao Tao didn't want to leave when she saw Xie Qing again after more than two months.

He turned slightly to the side, freeing himself from Tao Yue's arm around his shoulder, and whispered, "Third Sister... why don't you go back first? I want to wander around a bit more..."

Is he pretending to be just browsing, but actually wants to spend time with Xie Qing?

Tao Yue was annoyed, but she didn't expose her younger brother. Instead, she smiled and said, "Sure, wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

"I... I haven't decided yet, I'm just wandering around... Third Sister, you can go ahead and do what you need to do, don't worry about me."

Tao Yue frowned, not really agreeing with that statement. "You're my brother, if I don't take care of you, who will?"

He softened his tone, then said nonchalantly, "Besides, what could possibly happen to me?"

Eating, drinking, and having fun?

She's quite good at these things.

Xie Qing suddenly invited, "Tao Tao, there's a billiards hall up ahead, would you like to go play there?"

Just as Tao Tao was about to nod, Tao Yue immediately pulled him behind her like a mother hen protecting her chicks, looking at Xie Qing with wary and unfriendly eyes, "My brother isn't going."

"is it?"

"No, no."

Tao Tao said anxiously, tugging at her third sister's sleeve, "Third sister, I want to go."

Tao Yue: "..."

There's no need to be so quick to embarrass your sister, bro!

Xie Qing raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Miss Tao, your brother says he wants to go?"

Tao Yue's face darkened. "I heard you. There's no need for Mr. Xie to deliberately remind me."

Xie Qingting shamelessly replied, "Yeah, you're welcome."

Tao Yue: Who the hell said I was going to thank you?! (???皿??)??3??Damn it!!

"Third sister, elder sister, let me go... I really want to go..."

Tao Tao's gaze was eager, her large, watery almond-shaped eyes blinking, making it hard for anyone to resist her.

“Since my dear Tao Tao wants to go so much, let’s go together.” Tao Yue didn’t want to disappoint her younger brother, so she finally gave in.

Perfect timing! She wanted to see just what clever tricks Xie Qing had up her sleeve to win over her younger brother so completely.

...Then along the way she saw her younger brother, who was like a happy little sparrow, circling around Xie Qing and chattering away.

Tao Yue: ? ? ?

The billiard hall doors were wide open, and on either side of the doors stood two waiters, their posture upright and dressed in neat uniforms.

As soon as the group reached the entrance, one of the waiters politely stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, sir, we have a rule here that cell phones are not allowed inside."

Mi Qiwu paused for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and politely asked, "Then where should I put it?"

His tone was full of sincerity in cooperating.

Just as the waiter was patiently explaining the storage location to Mi Qiwu, Bao Xin, who was at the back of the line, curled his lip and muttered, "Big places have so many rules. They don't allow this or that. These rules are completely unreasonable."

Despite the complaints, I still obediently stayed outside and waited.

Tao Yue had no patience; to her, such rules were just a dispensable decoration, and there was no need to abide by them.

She put her arm around her younger brother and walked inside. Just as another waiter was about to stop her, Tao Yue didn't even look up. She casually took out a gold card and waved it in front of the waiter.

The waiter's face instantly lit up with a fawning smile, and he proactively asked, "Sir, would you like a private room?"

The staff at [Jinhua Club] are well aware that customers holding gold cards are top-tier wealthy individuals who have spent over ten million yuan at the store, and are considered VIP customers, so they cannot be neglected.

Normally, these distinguished guests would never be seen in such a noisy and bustling public billiards hall.

For them, booking a private room is the norm, as it's not only comfortable but also allows them to have a great time. Tao Yue is no exception.

As the daughter of the Tao family, she has lived a life of luxury since childhood, with top-notch clothing, food, housing and transportation. When she goes out, she always books a private room, and it has to be the most luxurious and spacious one in the store.

But this time... I endured it for my younger brother's sake.

"no need."

Tao Yue took back the gold card, pulled her younger brother inside, and Tao Tao turned back to Xie Qing and mouthed, "Brother Qing, I'll wait for you inside."

Xie nodded.

"Wait a minute, why are they allowed to bring their phones in? Isn't it against the rules?"

Bao Xin felt he had been treated unfairly and said indignantly.

The waiter who served Tao Yue wasn't angry. He smiled and explained, "These two are our VIP customers, so of course it's fine."

With a formulaic smile on his face, he continued unhurriedly, "Of course, sir, as long as your cumulative spending in our store exceeds ten million, you will become a VIP customer."

"At that time, you can also disregard all the rules of our store and enjoy top-notch exclusive service."

The other person's tone was not sarcastic at all; it was as if they were stating a very ordinary fact, like 1+1=2.

How can they be so self-righteous in dividing people into different classes?

Bao Xin was a little annoyed, but in order not to cause trouble for the crew, he didn't say anything more.

……

After storing their phones, the group stepped into the spacious billiards hall.

I must say, although Jinhua Club has many rules, the facilities inside are truly top-notch.

When playing against Bao Xin, Zhao Lei could clearly sense that his opponent was half-hearted – his shots were completely disorganized and his eyes kept glancing outwards.

After playing two rounds, Zhao Lei couldn't stand it anymore.

"You're not in the zone today, what's wrong?"

Bao Xin leaned on his pool cue, his gaze sweeping over Tao Tao, who was chatting happily and behaving intimately with Xie Qing.

After a long pause, he finally couldn't help but ask, "That guy named Tao Tao... is he really Teacher Xie's younger brother?"

Zhao Lei's cueing motion suddenly stopped. "You were so distracted while playing, was it because you were thinking about this?!"

"I'm just curious, they don't look like brothers."

With a "click," the cue ball accurately struck the target ball, which then fell steadily into the pocket.

Zhao Lei straightened up and slowly replied, "Is it that hard to tell? They don't look alike, and they don't have the same surname. It's obvious they're not blood brothers."

"However... that Tao Tao's family must be quite wealthy."

Zhao Lei shed tears of envy and continued, "I don't recognize the clothes, but those shoes he's wearing are a limited edition worldwide, they're very expensive."

Those were his dream shoes!

Bao Xin then asked, "If it's not my younger brother, is it possible that he's Teacher Xie's boyfriend?"

"That's even more impossible."

Zhao Lei said, "Although there is no clear view of the faces in the photos circulating online, it can be seen that Teacher Xie's boyfriend is very tall, about 1.9 meters, while Tao Tao is much shorter."

He put his arm around Bao Xin's shoulder and leaned closer to continue, "Rumor has it that Teacher Xie's boyfriend is a poor guy who is supported by Teacher Xie."

"The other party was afraid that Teacher Xie would leave him after making money, so he tricked Teacher Xie into getting married early on."
