Xiao Zheng and Anna danced for nearly twenty minutes before finishing.

Their perfectly synchronized moves made them the most watched couple on the floor.

Amid the cheers and applause of the crowd, Xiao Zheng and Anna finally stepped off to rest.

Sitting by the bar, they even had men start sending drinks to Anna. This kind of gesture isn’t uncommon back in China, and previously, Anna never accepted such drinks.

But today, for some reason, she didn’t refuse anyone.

Anna accepted the drinks while casting a charming glance at Xiao Zheng, seemingly curious to see how he would react.

However, Xiao Zheng kept a slight smile on his face the entire time, appearing unconcerned with the situation. Just as Anna began to feel bored, several blonde beauties started sending drinks to Xiao Zheng.

Looking at the several lipstick-stained glasses in front of him, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile at Anna, "See that? You’re not the only one getting drinks; my charm is quite significant too."

"Hmph, what’s there to be proud of." Anna said somewhat jealously and rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Upon hearing his laughter, Anna rolled her eyes at him again and silently started drinking. Xiao Zheng didn’t want to tease her further and joined her in drinking.

After just three drinks, two burly men dressed as bodyguards suddenly appeared behind them.

Putting down his glass, Xiao Zheng looked at them with interest and asked, "Who are you? Is there something you need from us?"

One of them spoke up, "Our boss admired this lady’s dancing and wants to invite her over for a drink."

Hearing this, Anna nestled half of herself into Xiao Zheng’s embrace, then blinked her lively eyes and said, "I’m sorry, but I already have someone to drink with me."

With his arm around her slender waist, Xiao Zheng looked at the two men with feigned helplessness and said, "You heard her, go tell your boss not to bother my girlfriend. When it comes to charm, I’ve never met a rival."

Their demeanor and words made the two men frown.

After exchanging a glance, one of them said, "Our boss said he wants to invite this lady over for a drink. He hopes you’ll cooperate and not make it difficult for us."

Xiao Zheng set down his glass, then asked with a faint smile, "What if I insist on making it difficult for you, what then?"

Upon hearing this, the man didn’t hesitate to lift one side of his coat, revealing a gun at his waist, "If you want to make it difficult for us, we don’t mind using other methods to ’invite’ you over."

When he said the word "invite," his tone was particularly menacing.

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, finding it quite amusing.

He hadn’t expected that even in a foreign bar, such a melodramatic scene could unfold.

After exchanging a glance with Anna, for reasons unknown, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt inclined to play along, and then pretended to be fearful and said, "In that case, I agree."

"But I want to go with you; otherwise, I will never let you take her away, even if it means my death."

After hearing his words, a hint of disdain flashed in the two men’s eyes.

Nonetheless, they didn’t refuse Xiao Zheng and nodded in agreement.

"Darling, let’s go."

"Let’s see who this big shot is who thinks he can steal my woman."

Xiao Zheng then hugged Anna’s slender waist and followed them away from the bar.

Though she hadn’t spoken the whole time, Anna was well aware of what Xiao Zheng was thinking, so she cooperated exceptionally. She acted docile, like a little quail, appearing innocently charming.

However, upon reaching the booth on the second floor with the two bodyguards, Anna was stunned.

Xiao Zheng noticed her unusual demeanor and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What’s wrong? Who did you see?"

Upon hearing his question, Anna snapped back to reality and pointed at a middle-aged man seated in the booth, saying, "Do you know who he is? He’s Carlos, who stood us up three times!"

What!

Even Xiao Zheng was stunned upon hearing Anna’s words.

He hadn’t expected such a coincidence in the world. They had gone to the headquarters of Mour Group three times but never managed to meet Carlos. Yet, here they were, bumping into him while out for leisure at a bar.

To top it off, Carlos had even picked Anna out of the crowd and sent someone to invite her for a drink.

This once-in-a-lifetime event left both Xiao Zheng and Anna feeling a bit bemused.

"What should we do next?"

Anna couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing her, Xiao Zheng said, "Let’s wait and see, no rush to settle scores. After all, he’s right here, and with me around, don’t worry about him escaping."

Anna nodded, then followed him into the booth.

Carlos was sitting alone in the booth, a row of bodyguards behind him.

Seeing his men return with Anna, a greedy look flashed in his eyes. But upon seeing Xiao Zheng, his greed quickly turned to disgust.

"What the hell are you doing? Didn’t I say I only invited the lady for a drink?"

Carlos glared at his men and spoke harshly, not holding back his words.

Despite Xiao Zheng being right beside him, his tone was dripping with contempt and arrogance.

Xiao Zheng smirked inwardly but remained composed outwardly.

The two men hadn’t expected Carlos to be so angry, and while apologizing to him, prepared to forcefully take Xiao Zheng away.

Seeing them attempt to make a move, Xiao Zheng was not about to let himself be bullied.

With a casual burst of energy, he shattered their wristbones; he held back, otherwise, a mere shock wave would have been enough to take everyone’s life present.

Seeing his men suddenly fall to the ground howling, Carlos was shocked.

His bodyguards quickly drew their guns, aiming them at Xiao Zheng.

Despite this, Xiao Zheng still showed no signs of panic.

Even Anna had a slight smile on her face.

"Mr. Carlos, no need to be so tense."

"Although it’s our first meeting, I’ve heard your name countless times."

Xiao Zheng wrapped an arm around Anna and boldly sat down opposite him.

Hearing Xiao Zheng accurately call his name, Carlos’s eyes flashed with shock again!
