Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 676 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and

The collapse of the champagne tower, with its tremendous commotion, naturally drew the attention of everyone present.

The young men followed the sound and saw the spilled drinks on the ground. They all sighed and came over, surrounding the group.

After hearing Zhou Xi's words clearly, Lu Ziqi said with a very bad expression, "What do you mean?"

What does it mean to ruin something well?

It's one thing for Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi to cause trouble on his birthday, but Zhou Xi can't stand seeing him have a good birthday either.

Zhou Xi didn't answer him, but instead shifted his gaze from Bai Chengci, finally fixing it on Jiang Xiyu with an ambiguous expression. He stared at Jiang Xiyu for a while before saying, "It doesn't mean anything."

The gaze was undisguised, and even lingered for quite some time.

Although Jiang Xiyu appeared indifferent, her expression inevitably turned cold.

After what happened at the hotel that night, Jiang Xiyu had already decided to sever ties with Zhou Xi, but because they were in the same industry, the two still had to meet.

Like today, if it weren't for Lu Ziqi's birthday, Jiang Xiyu would probably have left the moment he saw Zhou Xi.

He didn't want to confront him, nor did he want to waste his breath arguing with him.

However, it was clear that Zhou Xi had no intention of letting the matter rest.

He wore his usual enigmatic smile as he leisurely walked into the mess where Bai Chengci had shattered, saying, "I shouldn't be too late, right..."

As she spoke, Zhou Xi looked at Lu Ziqi and said, "Perfect timing, I've also prepared a big gift for you today."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu subconsciously frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Bai Chengci noticed Jiang Xiyu's frown, then turned around without changing her expression and looked at Zhou Xi with a calm gaze.

Zhou Xi had already walked up to him.

When the two faced each other, Bai Chengci's eyes were cold, and her jaw tightened for a moment.

Zhou Xi's face showed no sign of any past grievances between the two; on the contrary, he was even smiling.

“I knew you’d come…” He looked at Bai Chengci, then slowly approached her in a voice only the two of them could hear, and said in a somber tone, “So this gift is not only for you, but also for him…”

After saying that, Zhou Xi finally dropped the mask on her face, glanced at everyone present, and said, "Since everyone is here, let's all come and see if this gift I gave you is good."

Zhou Xi had endured for so long, only to be told by Jiang Xiyu that she wanted to sever ties with him. How could he possibly allow that?

Bai Chengci, sensing the malice in his words, looked at the packaged items in Zhou Xi's bodyguard's hand, her eyes almost devoid of warmth.

Zhou Xi raised his hand, signaling the people around him to take the things over.

Lu Ziqi didn't care much about the gift he gave him, and said with disdain, "What is this? Why are you being so mysterious? I don't have time to look at your gift right now."

Aside from the gifts from his brother, Lu Ziqi showed little interest in any other gifts, let alone those from Zhou Xi. The only reason he associated with Zhou Xi was because of his brother.

Besides, what good intentions could a weasel have when it visits a chicken to wish it a Happy New Year?

Lu Ziqi didn't even want to look at it.

Bai Chengci looked at the way the gift was wrapped, pondered for a moment, and vaguely guessed what it was.

So, as the bodyguard passed by him, Bai Chengci reached out and stopped him.

The bodyguard glanced at him and tried to walk around him, but Bai Chengci took a step back, clearly not wanting the bodyguard to deliver the gift.

The atmosphere became tense for a few seconds, and everyone was a little puzzled by Bai Chengci's behavior.

Jiang Xiyu simply watched calmly without saying a word, but Li, who was beside him, suddenly shouted irritably, "Bai Chengci, what the hell do you mean?!"

Others might not understand Bai Chengci's meaning, but Zhou Xi, realizing that Bai Chengci probably guessed what the gift was, smiled and said to everyone present, "It's obvious, he doesn't want everyone to see this gift."

These words left the young men present completely bewildered, and Xu Yunzhi was equally confused.

Lu Ziqi had always disliked Bai Chengci, but he had only tolerated it because of his mother. Now that Bai Chengci had pulled this stunt, making his birthday party a mess, Lu Ziqi couldn't hold back any longer. He clenched his fist and angrily said, "Damn it, I get it now. You're here to ruin my party, aren't you?"

After saying that, he was about to rush forward.

At that moment, Jiang Xiyu, who was standing next to him, reached out and stopped him in time.

Lu Ziqi stopped in his tracks, his chest heaving with anger, and said, "Brother, don't stop me."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Lu Ziqi, her expression unchanged, and said, "Today is your birthday, let's not make things so unpleasant."

As she spoke, Jiang Xiyu glanced at Bai Chengci's back, then slowly met Zhou Xi's gaze, and said without any emotion, "It's just a gift, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? It's not too late to look at it after today's birthday."

What could it be? Jiang Xiyu wondered, but didn't care.

So he spoke up, meaning he wanted Bai Chengci to stop him.

Bai Chengci understood the meaning behind Jiang Xiyu's words. She silently tilted her head, hesitated for a moment, and then put her hand down.

Under the lamplight, a deep, unyielding darkness lingered in Bai Chengci's eyes. He turned to the side and silently glanced at Jiang Xiyu.

Even though he had a vague premonition of something, Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything more.

When Lu Ziqi saw that he had said that, he thought about it and agreed.

It's just a gift, it's not important.

So, he glared at Bai Chengci and Zhou Xi before looking at Jiang Xiyu and smiling again, saying, "Brother is right, let's go eat something first. It's so late, you probably haven't had dinner yet."

Jiang Xiyu looked away and hummed in agreement.

Lu Ziqi quickly said, "I specially hired a chef, so it should suit your taste."

After saying that, Lu Ziqi led Jiang Xiyu to sit down.

Once the birthday celebrant was seated, the other young men lost interest in the gifts and each chose a seat.

The group dispersed.

Seeing that Bai Chengci was still standing there, Xu Yunzhi walked up to him and said, "Brother Chengci, let's go find a place to sit down."

Bai Chengci paused, then glanced at Zhou Xi indifferently.

After the two left, the bodyguard, holding the gift, turned back to look at Zhou Xi as if seeking instructions.

A mocking smile slowly crept onto Zhou Xi's lips as she said, "Let's do it later. After all, the best show is always saved for last."

The bodyguard nodded, then walked in a certain direction to make preparations.

……

At the long and luxurious Western-style dining table, Lu Ziqi wanted Jiang Xiyu to sit in the head seat.

Jiang Xiyu refused, but simply sat down next to him.

Xu Yunzhi and Bai Chengci arrived late, so they sat in seats relatively far from Jiang Xiyu. Zhou Xi, being the last to arrive, sat opposite Lu Ziqi, who was in the main seat.

A short while later, the waiter served the food.

Looking at Jiang Xiyu sitting next to him, Lu Ziqi finally felt a bit of the joy of being the birthday boy. He stared at Jiang Xiyu's clothes for a long time and couldn't help but praise, "Brother, you look really good in this outfit."

Jiang Xiyu was amused by his sudden remark and turned to look at him.

Lu Ziqi then got up to pour him a drink, the bracelet on his wrist shimmering in the light with his movements. Lu Ziqi liked it more and more, completely forgetting his earlier displeasure, and stared at Jiang Xiyu with longing eyes.

Jiang Xiyu took a sip of the wine he had poured, and when she noticed him staring at her, she asked what was wrong.

Lu Ziqi shook his head and said, "No, I'm just very happy."

Jiang Xiyu casually replied, "As long as you're happy."

Lu Ziqi smiled and moved a little closer to speak to Jiang Xiyu.

His attention was entirely on Jiang Xiyu, seemingly oblivious to the other people at the table. Or perhaps, he did this to appear closer to Jiang Xiyu and to show that they were having a better time together.

However, this behavior displeased those who were paying attention to Jiang Xiyu.

Xu Yunzhi's displeasure was written all over her face, but Bai Chengci concealed it very well.

In fact, he was already very unhappy.

Watching Jiang Xiyu talk to and smile at others, Bai Chengci, who was sitting in his seat, leaned back slightly and turned his head to face Jiang Xiyu. Between Jiang Xiyu and the person sitting between himself, Bai Chengci tried his best to control his gaze.

His unease did not lessen after the two had sex; on the contrary, because he had gained temporary satisfaction, he became even more anxious about losing this person.

So much so that Bai Chengci couldn't stand it even when he briefly glanced at someone else.
