This man, she had noticed him before. He was sitting right next to Shen Lingyan, so they likely came together. This could be a good opportunity to get close to Shen Lingyan. Hasn't she been waiting for this chance for over three years? Moreover, Shen Lingyan seemed quite interested in her earlier. If she appeared before him, would he make a move?
With that thought, Lin Sa curved her red lips into a seductive smile toward the man and even draped her arm over his. "Sure."
Lin Sa hooked her arm with the man's and walked off the stage. As soon as she approached, Shen Lingyan noticed her. His gaze fixated on her hand.
Seeing Gu Beicheng pulling the recent lead singer over, Xue Bin scoffed, "Can't resist his urges."
Gu Beicheng sat on the sofa with Lin Sa, trapping her in the innermost spot, and poured her a drink. Lin Sa had already consumed a lot of alcohol at home that afternoon and hadn't eaten anything in the evening, leaving her stomach extremely unsettled.
Nevertheless, she drank it. While drinking, Lin Sa kept staring at Shen Lingyan.
Of course, Gu Beicheng didn't call Lin Sa over just for drinks. Soon, his hands started to wander, deliberately taking liberties with her.
Lin Sa glanced toward Shen Lingyan's direction, gritted her teeth, and grabbed Gu Beicheng's hand. "Please don't do that. I said I'd only have one drink."
"Cut the act. You came down with me, so you should be prepared," Gu Beicheng arrogantly stated. "Don't you know who I am? Even if I did something to you right here, you wouldn't dare do anything to me."
From the corner of his eye, Shen Lingyan noticed Gu Beicheng's hand on Lin Sa's leg, and an inexplicable surge of agitation rose within him. This feeling was quite subtle. He had never experienced such emotions toward a woman he had only met once before.
Previously, when he would go out with Gu Beicheng and the others, Gu Beicheng's promiscuous behavior in front of women was nothing new to him. But with this woman as the subject, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Lingyan set down his glass and turned to Gu Beicheng. "Let her go."
Startled by Shen Lingyan's voice, Gu Beicheng froze. "Third Brother?"
"Let her go," Shen Lingyan repeated.
Upon repeating himself, Gu Beicheng didn't dare defy him and immediately released Lin Sa. He suddenly felt flustered, cursing inwardly. Had he mistakenly hit on a woman Third Brother was interested in?
Shen Lingyan stood up, looking down at Lin Sa with a slight curl of his thin lips. "Aren't you going to get over here?" His tone carried evident displeasure, as if admonishing a disobedient lover.
Lin Sa obediently nodded and walked over to Shen Lingyan. He pulled her directly into his embrace, a gesture of complete possession.
"Wait, Third Brother... you know this girl?" Xue Bin gaped at the scene in disbelief. They knew each other? And from their exchange, their relationship seemed far from superficial.
"Tonight's on my tab. I'm leaving first." Shen Lingyan didn't answer their question. He tightened his embrace on the woman and left with her.
Lin Sa's heart raced the entire way. In truth, she was gambling.
Earlier on stage, Shen Lingyan had been watching her intently. She instinctively felt that Shen Lingyan must be interested in her. A man's interest in a woman typically stemmed from a few common reasons.
