Twilight Bar
Twilight Bar was a well-known luxury hotspot in the capital, with a parking lot filled with a lineup of high-end cars.
Fu Siqi stood in the parking lot waiting for Su Luoyan. She wore heavy makeup and had her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Though naturally delicate-looking, the makeup made her appear much more mature. Having only worn a coat when she went out today, she was now shivering in the wind.
Just as she was about to make a phone call, a black sports car drove in—a limited-edition Lamborghini. There were no more than five of these in the entire country, let alone in the capital.
And that license plate number… why did it look so familiar? It seemed like her Eldest Brother Fu Cheng Shen’s car. Could it be that her brother was here too?
As the car pulled into a parking spot, she hurried over. In this family, Fu Cheng Shen was both the person she feared the most and the one she respected the most.
The car door slowly opened. Fu Siqi was about to call out “Brother,” but first caught sight of a pair of women’s knee-high boots.
Fu Siqi was utterly stunned. Her brother was famously principled and reserved. Aside from her, his sister, what other woman could get close to him? And now, he had actually lent his car to someone else.
She had to see who this mysterious person was.
As soon as Su Luoyan stepped out of the car, she noticed Fu Siqi’s scrutinizing gaze. She looked up and patted Fu Siqi’s head.
“Snap out of it.”
Fu Siqi grumbled, “I was just wondering which woman it could be—I completely forgot about you.”
Her brother’s affection for Su Luoyan surpassed even what he showed her, his own sister. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he spoiled her rotten.
In those years, many socialites in the capital’s elite circles both envied and resented Su Luoyan. Countless people remarked that Su Luoyan’s prominence even overshadowed Fu Siqi’s.
Su Luoyan glanced at the car and tilted her head. “I told you there’d be a surprise, and here it is.”
Fu Siqi waved her hand dismissively. “That’s not important now. Come here, let me hug you. I’ve missed you so much!”
She then excitedly threw her arms around Su Luoyan, who stumbled back a couple of steps from the impact.
“It hasn’t been that long since we last saw each other, has it?”
“You haven’t returned to the country in two years! That’s plenty long.”
Su Luoyan: “…”
Actually, she had returned to the country every year, but she always stayed at Fu Cheng Shen’s place without telling anyone. Then, Fu Cheng Shen would accompany her on trips and excursions for inspiration.
“Well, I suppose it has been quite a while.”
Fu Siqi released Su Luoyan and took her arm, looking her up and down. “You’ve gotten even more beautiful, and it seems like you’ve grown taller too.”
“You too. That red hair of yours is really eye-catching.” The vibrant red was impossible to miss.
She added with a compliment, “But it suits you well—makes your skin look even fairer.”
“Come on, say more! I love being praised by beautiful women.”
“Alright, let’s go inside. Aren’t you cold dressed so lightly?”
Fu Siqi pouted. “I had no idea it would get so cold today. I’m freezing!”
As soon as they entered, they were enveloped by the lively atmosphere of the bar. A band was performing on stage—one that Su Luoyan knew a little about. They had previously participated in a variety show and won first place. She hadn’t expected to see them here.
Fu Siqi was a regular at the bar. The moment she walked in, the manager, having been tipped off, greeted her with a beaming smile.
“Miss Fu, you’re here.”He then looked at Su Luoyan again, pausing for an extra two seconds. “This young lady is a new face. Is this your first time here?”
Fu Siqi deliberately teased the bar manager, “Are you trying to find out her identity? You’ll know in the future.”
Su Luoyan glanced at Fu Siqi and said, “My surname is Su. You can call me Miss Su. I’m not some big shot, nor am I a wealthy or influential figure in the capital. Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
The manager simply smiled along without saying anything.
Fu Siqi was, in terms of lineage, the granddaughter of Old Master Fu. However, because her father had married into the family, Fu Siqi also took the Fu surname and was considered a young lady of the Fu family. Not only that, but Fu Siqi was also the most beloved younger sister of Fu Cheng Shen, the next heir of the Fu family.
The way this young lady of the Fu family treated Miss Su didn’t seem like an ordinary friendship; their interactions were more like sisters.
“Miss Fu, Miss Su, what would you like to drink?”
Fu Siqi said, “I’ll have the usual. Get her an Icelandic red tea.”
“Very well.”
