Pei Youchuan's gaze cut through the somewhat noisy crowd, like a silver spear, directly aimed at Qiao Chuchu’s face.
If this were a fantasy world, Qiao Chuchu felt as if the transparent shield protecting her would begin to crack.
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
Pei Youchuan had just told her earlier not to add anyone else on WeChat.
And now, he had caught her adding someone.
What does it mean to be unlucky?
This is what it means.
Qiao Chuchu couldn’t help but feel nervous, contemplating what might happen next.
Pei Youchuan was a very smooth person and would never let her add someone and then delete them.
But it was likely that he would make a little trouble out of it.
[Although we both agreed not to add outsiders on WeChat, this special situation is something I can’t handle. After all, I might have to interact with members of the Wei Sheng family frequently in the future.]
Qiao Chuchu scratched her head again: [But what kind of face can I have to look the Wei Sheng family in the eye? They are all incredibly famous big shots.]
Just as she was thinking, Pei Youchuan said a few words to the people around him, then separated from them and walked toward Wei Sheng Wen Zhan.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan and Ji Yan Chuan were waiting in the VIP lounge.
The luxury cruise ship’s buffet breakfast had three tiers. Those in this breakfast area were either rich or important, and those in the VIP area were even rarer.
It only catered to guests from the presidential suites and luxury suites. The door was equipped with facial recognition; if you weren’t a guest of this particular room, you couldn’t even enter.
The service here was of a higher quality than in other breakfast areas, and there were only ten families on the entire cruise who were eligible to enjoy this area. But, coincidentally, only two families were present at the moment.
Pei Youchuan walked through the automatically opening door and sat down in a spot parallel to Wei Sheng Wen Zhan.
Qiao Chuchu felt something was off as she peered through the frosted glass at Pei Youchuan’s figure.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan gave him a fleeting glance.
Pei Youchuan ordered a few breakfast items and then turned around, waving toward Qiao Chuchu’s direction.
Qiao Chuchu thought he hadn’t called her and looked around.
Pei Youchuan’s expression flickered with a flash of anger before he raised his hand and pointed at her, mouthing, "You."
Qiao Chuchu entered the VIP area, still confused. The moment she stepped in, the sounds of crying children and people chatting from outside were completely blocked out.
It was an uncomfortable silence.
She obediently sat down at the booth.
Pei Youchuan wore a casually relaxed smile: "You haven’t eaten breakfast, have you?"
Qiao Chuchu gave him a strange look: "No."
[Big brother, just now you were flapping your arms like a seagull in front of me, and now suddenly you’re acting all brotherly and respectful. It’s making me feel out of place.]
Pei Youchuan: "..."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan curled the corner of his lips: "Young Master Ji."
The chattering Ji Yan Chuan across from him: "Hm?"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan wore a distant smile: "Eat first."
Ji Yan Chuan, surprised, responded: "But I haven’t finished yet."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan smiled coldly: "Eat first, I’ll consider it after I’m done."
Ji Yan Chuan subtly furrowed his brow.
So, that meant he wasn’t interested.
He smiled as well: "Alright."
Ji Yan Chuan shot a glare at Qiao Chuchu from the corner of his eye.
What? This woman’s already talked bad about him in front of Wei Sheng Wen Zhan, and now she’s trying to intrude on his business talk?
He glanced at Wei Sheng Wen Zhan, who was quietly eating, then at Qiao Chuchu, who was sitting uncomfortably for some reason.
Since it was just the four of them here, he figured he could relax.
He flashed a smile: "When I was in school, I heard some interesting things."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan raised his eyes to look at him.
Ji Yan Chuan picked up his black coffee, his smile meaningful: "I heard that the eighth miss of the Pei family is pursuing her seven older brothers."
Qiao Chuchu, who was drinking hot water, spat it out: "Pff!"
Pei Youchuan glared coldly at Ji Yan Chuan: "Try spreading another rumor?"
Ji Yan Chuan laughed: "Pei Youchuan, you don’t need to defend your sister’s honor by saying stuff like that. This isn’t a rumor, it’s a secret known by many people in our circle."
He smiled slyly at Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "Mr. Wei Sheng, have you ever heard of such a thing?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan smiled a knowing smile, his gaze turning toward Qiao Chuchu with interest: "No."
Qiao Chuchu wiped the water stains on the table, feeling the two men’s intense stares, and began to feel uneasy.
[That blabbermouth Ji Yan Chuan, is he really the male lead? I swear he looks more like a gossiping aunt from the village!]
Ji Yan Chuan chuckled: "I’m really curious, Qiao Chuchu, what kind of mindset do you have in pursuing seven brothers who raised you with so much hardship? Don’t you find it disgusting?"
Pei Youchuan stood up, slamming the table!
Qiao Chuchu, unwilling to be outdone, shot back: "Because I like touching the boundaries created by humans."
Pei Youchuan: "?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "?"
Ji Yan Chuan: "?"
She leaned back against the couch, sitting with an air of elegance, her hands clasped together: "They’re all handsome, they treat me well, and when I’m sick, they care for me diligently. They know exactly what I like and dislike, and they pamper me every day. It’s hard not to love them."
"When we had no money, when I was ill, they’d even risk their lives to gather money. When we had money, they were afraid of not giving me enough. They bought me a house, a car, clothes."
"When I want something, I just look at it, raise my chin, and it’s mine."
Qiao Chuchu smiled seductively, lazily crossing her legs: "But when I think about them leaving me to find others, whether they’re men or women, I get angry. As soon as they start sharing my love, I’m furious."
"So, I made my move."
Qiao Chuchu sighed, looking somewhat regretful: "I thought I’d see my brothers struggle, torn between morality and desire, lost yet restrained, liking me but not daring to speak, until they couldn’t stand it anymore and wished to devour me, but instead, they feel nothing for me. My efforts were in vain."
Pei Youchuan stared at Qiao Chuchu with deep eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan rested his chin in his hand, watching Pei Youchuan’s reaction with great interest.
Only Ji Yan Chuan was clueless.
He mocked Qiao Chuchu, and yet she openly admitted it.
It made him look like the troublemaker.
Qiao Chuchu stood up and walked toward Ji Yan Chuan: "My plan failed, and I’ve apologized to my brothers. If you want to use this to provoke my sense of morality or embarrass me, I regret to inform you, I don’t have a sense of morality, and I won’t be embarrassed."
She smiled with a hidden blade: "If I had any morality, I wouldn’t be chasing after my own brothers. I’m just a pervert. I want seven handsome guys, and I want more, not less."
She leaned forward, placing her hands on the table: "Do you have anything else to say?"
