Is Chapter 174 playing some game he doesn't know about?
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Lu Tingnian's tone was serious.
Tang Shaoyu then realized something was wrong and immediately sat up straight.
"Brother Nian, are you serious?"
Lu Tingnian neither denied nor admitted it; his silence was, of course, an admission.
Tang Shaoyu's mouth instantly opened into an "O" shape.
He thought to himself: No way, what earth-shattering gossip have I stumbled upon?
"Brother Nian, are you really married?"
Tang Shaoyu was stunned for a long time before he blurted out this sentence.
Lu Tingnian said calmly, "Yes, it's settled."
He was so calm, as if he had just admitted to having eaten a meal.
Tang Shaoyu: "..."
"No, when did you get married? Why didn't I know?"
Tang Shaoyu looked sullen.
Lu Tingnian was annoyed by his endless questions.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Why do I have to let you know I'm getting married?" Lu Tingnian retorted.
Tang Shaoyu: "No... Brother Nian, we're best brothers, how could you not tell me you're getting married?"
"You said you're brothers, so can't brothers have secrets?"
Tang Shaoyu: "..."
"Okay, Brother Nian, there's nothing wrong with what you say, but you have to let me know who your wife is and when I flirted with her."
He wanted to die knowing why he was being accused of seducing his friend's wife; Tang Shaoyu wasn't going to take the blame.
To ensure he died knowing the truth, Lu Tingnian had Han Jian switch the video feed to Qiao Luo's side.
"Look closely, this is my wife, Lu Tingnian."
In the video, Qiao Luo's beautiful face appeared in Tang Shaoyu's line of sight, and his mouth once again opened into an "O" shape.
"What? That Miss Qiao is actually your wife?"
"What? We're not worthy?"
"No, no, no, you two are a perfect match, a perfect match indeed." Tang Shaoyu had a strong survival instinct.
Lu Tingnian snorted coldly, "You have good taste."
"Brother Nian, you shouldn't be angry with me anymore, right? Ignorance is no excuse." Tang Shaoyu quickly seized the opportunity to confirm.
Lu Tingnian was too lazy to be angry with him. With his meager skills, he wouldn't even be good enough to seduce Qiao Luo. The reason he told him was to cut off his hopes.
After all, it's his wife, and another man is eyeing her, or rather, his brother.
It doesn't make sense.
He nipped Tang Shaoyu's wicked intentions in the bud.
"Alright, I know what kind of person you are. Now that you're here, focus on understanding the business and stop thinking about all that nonsense."
"Yes, yes, Brother Nian is right." Tang Shaoyu immediately pledged his loyalty.
"By the way, Brother Nian, since you're here, why don't you go over? Sister-in-law Qiao is attending the party alone. Aren't you worried?"
Tang Shaoyu asked curiously again.
After all, Qiao Luo is so beautiful that even he had impure thoughts about her, let alone those tech geeks.
Lu Tingnian thought to himself: He came along because he was worried, but he wouldn't tell Tang Shaoyu that.
"I have my own plans. She doesn't know I'm here, so don't tell her."
Lu Tingnian confessed.
Tang Shaoyu nodded.
"Also, she doesn't know my identity yet. In short, don't mention anything about me in front of her. Just pretend we don't know each other."
While keeping Lu Tingnian's instructions in mind, Tang Shaoyu couldn't help but wonder to himself: What exactly is Brother Nian up to? Is he playing some game that he doesn't know about?
Qiao Luo was unaware of what was happening over there. She and Bai Ge spent the entire night wandering around the party, but they didn't get any useful information. By the end of the party, both of them were a bit dejected.
"Luo Luo, do you think we came to the wrong place today, or is that company not even on the invitation list for this party?"
Bai Ge voiced her question.
Qiao Luo didn't know the answer to this question either, but she was certain that the company was on the invitation list for the party. After all, it was a rising star in the industry and a leader in all aspects.
They were just unlucky and didn't run into any employees of that company.
Thinking this, she said, "I'm sure that company is on the guest list for the party, but I'm not sure if they'll send a representative tonight."
"What should we do then? We went through all that trouble to attend the party, only to find we didn't get any information. We'll definitely get a scolding from the old witch when we get back," Bai Ge expressed her concerns.
Qiao Luo wasn't worried about that. After all, it was a project for the company and a top priority for the year-end work. Although the old witch was deliberately trying to trick her, she wasn't that stupid and wouldn't show it so obviously.
At most, they'll grumble a few words.
"It's okay. If she asks, just blame it on me."
Anyway, having a lot of lice on your head means you don't feel itchy.
"How could that be? We're a team now. We share the same fate, and I can't do something like shirking responsibility." Bai Ge stated his attitude.
Qiao Luo felt somewhat gratified, after all, people are selfish when it comes to interests, even close friends.
Afterwards, the two left the party. When they got to the door, the ride-hailing car that Bai Ge had ordered online arrived, and she invited Qiao Luo to come with her.
Qiao Luo quickly said, "We're not going that way. You go back first. My taxi will be there soon."
Hearing her say that, Bai Ge got into the car and left.
Qiao Luo watched Bai Ge leave before turning on her phone. Just as she was about to call a car online, a voice came from behind her.
"Miss Qiao, are you going back?"
