Alice's eyes flickered with a hint of panic, but she quickly concealed it.
If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't even notice anything unusual about her expression.
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on her face.
She smoothly clasped Song Qiao's hand with her backhand and said with deep emotion,
"Actually, it's just that I haven't seen you for so long, Song Qiao. I missed you so much, I longed for you, which is why I got so excited that my hands started to shake."
At the same time, she took the opportunity to gently tickle Song Qiao's palm with her finger.
Honestly, this combination of moves was quite lethal.
However, as mentioned earlier, it would only be effective on a pure, innocent young man, who would be utterly captivated and helpless.
For someone like Song Qiao, a seasoned veteran of the dating scene, it was far too easy to see through her ploy!
Song Qiao clasped Alice's small hand in return and began to knead it gently.
The texture was truly unparalleled!
To describe it in one sentence, it was truly "soft as if without bones"!
Slender and tender, it seemed like it would break with a puff of air!
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"The girls from the Snow Country truly have good foundations! Especially these two sisters, their small hands are so soft, it's incredibly comfortable to knead them!"
"Especially Alice, she has quite professional seductive skills."
"It's clear they've got something, and it's significant! If I were a few years younger, I might have been completely taken in by those moves just now."
But fortunately, Song Qiao had encountered countless women.
He had tasted most types, and generally only superficially, so he knew the general playbooks and strategies.
Such rudimentary attempts to charm a man were completely immune to a top-tier player like Song Qiao!
Moreover, the most important thing was that Song Qiao's attention was actually more focused on the elder sister, Kanonina.
Compared to Alice, she wasn't as nervous and appeared much more composed.
After close contact, Song Qiao could clearly sense that Kanonina's primary desire was to find a safe harbor, a strong pillar to rely on.
She simply wanted to find peace and live a simple life, ending her half-lifetime of wandering.
However, for Alice, it was obvious that she clearly wanted to leave this place more urgently, whether to hide or to escape.
In any case, the sudden appearance of the two had put a lot of pressure on her.
Turning to Teng Haibo's side.
The unexpected appearance of Xia Xueqing's father had indeed filled Teng Haibo with surprise.
He was unsure what kind of scheme the old gentleman was planning.
At the same time, he was also unsure if he was targeting him.
This was quite awkward.
After a moment of thought, Teng Haibo decided to stand up and greet him.
After all, Song Qiao was present at the moment, and he wouldn't dare to act too outrageously.
Having made up his mind, Teng Haibo stood up proactively.
However, before he could say anything, Father Xia took the lead and walked over with his entourage, offering toasts to everyone.
"Haha! I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet here!"
"Teng Haibo, Song Qiao, come, let's have a drink!"
Father Xia's face displayed a hearty, unrestrained smile.
He laughed like a man of the grasslands and then, with a flip of his hands, he downed the wine in his cup.
It was less like drinking and more like preparing for battle, judging by his demeanor.
It was quite aggressive.
"What is he trying to pull?"
Song Qiao was slightly stunned and thought to himself.
In fact, Song Qiao was truly baffled by Father Xia's intentions.
After all, it was he who had ordered the security department to smash his hotel in broad daylight last time!
Logically, Father Xia should have harbored intense hatred towards him.
How could he be so enthusiastic instead?
When things are abnormal, there must be a reason, and Song Qiao decided to play it safe and observe.
Perhaps the old man intended to lull him with words so he could strike from behind!
But what if he did resort to underhanded tactics?
If you have a master plan, I have a countermeasure!
Song Qiao's least concern was facing challenges as they came.
He wasn't afraid of you making a move, but afraid of you not making one!
Taking the opportunity to drink, Song Qiao glanced at the burly foreigner standing beside Father Xia.
When observing a person, regardless of how they disguise themselves, their eyes can never be faked.
And this foreigner's eyes were extremely fierce.
It was reasonable to assume that his background was likely quite complicated.
Yes, it was best to avoid getting involved with such a person.
Lest things become unclear.
Instead of catching the fox, one might end up in trouble.
Therefore, after finishing the drink, Song Qiao pretended to be overwhelmed by the alcohol and stood up unsteadily.
"Hmm, why is the alcohol so strong today? Alright, I've had enough, I'll be taking my leave!"
Saying that, he took Alice's hand, and the two of them walked confidently towards the exit.
No matter what scheme Father Xia had in mind, as long as he kept his distance, his plans would not succeed!
A hint of smugness flickered in Song Qiao's mind.
Everyone present saw this scene and none of them believed it was just an excuse.
After all, how could Song Qiao be drunk after only a few bottles?
Unless there were external factors.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the men present took on a subtle, ambiguous hue.
They were all men, and they understood!
Even someone like Song Qiao, despite his composure... hey... he couldn't escape the common human condition!
Everyone thought to themselves with a bit of malicious amusement.
