The two went to a private restaurant, in a quiet garden house in the middle of a bustling area, the owner and the cook is the same person, said to be a disciple of the Imperial Chef, only a few guests a day, at least a week in advance to make a reservation. Qiao Wen did not have the free time for the mouth to eat, although Chen Canaan love to eat, but do not like the trouble, so although the restaurant has heard of, Qiao Wen has never been.

Tonight, thanks to the blessing of Lin Zi Rui, I had the honor to taste this mouthful, it is indeed worthy of the name. Coupled with Lin Zi Rui erudite and informed, and he dined, not afraid of no topic to talk about, the two ate pleasantly, talk to each other, a meal down, each other and familiar with a lot, as if they have become friends.

Because he was in a good mood, Jovan even drank some wine.

The blush on his face hadn't dissipated until the car drove up to the entrance of the villa.

"Man, are you okay?" Lin Zirui reminded him of his arrival.

Qiao Wen opened his half-closed eyes, rubbed his brow, shook his head and laughed, "I smelled the boss's wine too fragrant, and the food was really delicious, and it was as if I couldn't do justice to that kind of deliciousness without a few mouthfuls of wine, and for a moment, I forgot about the fact that I had one cup down."

Lin Zi Rui laughed: "It's also my fault, I thought that the wine is brewed by the boss himself, only this family, it's easy to come here once, it's a pity not to drink a little, so I had to let you drink two cups. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and let the maid cook some sobering tea and drink a cup before going to bed."

Jovian smiled and said, "Okay, thanks for dinner today, and when you're free Jeffrey, I'll treat you to a restaurant that I think is good."

Lin Zi Rui said: "Good! To be honest, I've rarely come back over the years, this place has changed too much, when I first left it wasn't more than a few years after the war, it was still in disarray, I don't want to think that in just a little more than a decade, it's already become an international metropolis, there are so many things that I'm not familiar with anymore, and I don't have many friends either. Recently, I happened to be busy with the important work at hand, and I was able to take a little breather, so if you have the time, Arwen, and you don't think it's too much of a hassle, we can come out together and have some fun."

Jovian laughed, "Of course it's no trouble."

Lin Zirui nodded, "That's good."

He got out of the car himself to open the door for Jovian, and gentlemanly held his hand above the door as the other man got out.

"Thanks," Jovian asked casually as he inhaled the crisp night air, "want to go in for a cup of tea?"

Lin Zi Rui smiled and shook his head, "It's already late, so I won't bother you and Nan, you rest early. I'll contact you again when I'm free."

"Okay, bye."

Jovian stood still and watched him get into his car and leave before he unhurriedly rang the doorbell.

The one who came to open the door was Chen Canaan, as soon as the door was opened, he could be heard crackling, "Xiao Qiao, why are you coming back now? I called your office phone, the company people said you went back home, but I came back and didn't see you people, scared me to death."

Without waiting for Jovian to answer, he sniffled again and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"Well, had a little drink."

"Is it to socialize? Why didn't you tell me?"

Qiaowen patted him on the back as he headed for the door, "I met Lin Zirui and had dinner together."

"Lin Zi Rui?" Chen Canaan was slightly stunned and hurriedly followed him, closing the gate backhandedly, "Just the two of you?"

Jovian rubbed his temples and said, "Well, it's just the two of us."

Chen Canaan frowned and walked forward to hold him in place, urning, "Although I think he's not a bad looking person, can you not be alone with him?"

Qiao Wen turned back to him, looking at him with a smile on her face, and as she wrapped her arms around his neck, she said with a smile on her face, "Jealous again?"

Chen Canaan was frank: "When I think of you saying that he looks like your former good brother, I feel a bit uncomfortable."

Qiaowen restrained his smile and sighed, "I'm not feeling too well either, it's probably true that God is playing a joke on me!"

Chen Canaan was unsure, "What?"

"It's nothing." Jovian shook his head, "I'm a little dizzy, go inside and give me some pressure."

Chen Canaan said in dissatisfaction, "Then you still drink? It's not like you don't know you can't drink."

Saying that, he picked the person up with one hand and carried him directly into the house. The two maids in the house were not surprised, and when they heard that Qiao Wen had been drinking, they hurriedly went to prepare sobering soup.

Chen Canaan, on the other hand, carried the man directly upstairs and placed him on the bed, then utilized his expertise as a massage technician and sat cross-legged beside him to press his head.

Qiao Wen squinted his eyes and grunted to enjoy a water, and when his brain was almost clear, he turned his head and said, "Brother Nan, don't we have a new movie on our hands that will be starting soon, and we're going to set it in Macau?"

Chen Canaan nodded, "That's right."

Jovian said, "Make arrangements to start it right away."

Chen Canaan frowned, "This movie has a lot of action scenes, I have to be present all the time."

Qiaowen nodded, "Well, then you go to Macau and keep an eye on it."

"In this situation now, I don't feel comfortable going to Macau and leaving you alone."

Qiao Wen laughed: "It's now that we don't need to be afraid, all kinds of reporters haven't stopped, no one dares to lay hands on us, you hurry up and go to shoot this movie, come back as soon as you finish it."

Chen Canaan didn't think any more about it and curved his lips into a smile, "Alright, then I'll make arrangements tomorrow."

Qiao Wen laughed back, resting his head on his lap and looking at him from the bottom up, saying, "Brother Nan, it's going to be hard for you next!"

As soon as Chen Canaan heard this, he knew that it was a good time to ask for benefits for himself, picking the person up and heading for the bathroom, smiling and saying, "Nan is most unafraid of hard work, so I'll let you see it tonight."

Jovan: "......" OK.

After getting Qiao Wen's permission to indulge for a few nights, Chen Canaan was satisfied and packed his bags to take his new crew to Macau for filming.

Qiao Wen, who stayed in Hong Kong City, seemed to have nothing to do but work, so he met with Lin Zi Rui from time to time, and went to watch horse racing, listen to concerts, seek delicious restaurants, or when the weather was fine, take a yacht to sea fishing.

Two people with similar interests, and are readers, go out together more often, each other seem to feel like, has begun to close friends to friends.

On this day, the two of them had finished the play and were talking as they walked toward the parking lot.

"What do you think of the play tonight?"

Qiao Wen laughed, "I seldom watch plays, I can't express any high opinion, in my opinion, tonight's play, although it is a familiar classic, it is well acted and easy to immerse oneself in it."

"I think so too." Lin Zi Rui nodded, "By the way, I see that you seem to like dramas, Wen, why do you rarely watch them?"

Qiaowen said, "I do quite like it, but Nan doesn't like it, and usually rarely comes to see it exclusively alone."

Lin Zi Rui smiled and shook his head, "It's already rare for someone like Anan, who practiced martial arts from a young age, to be able to enjoy watching movies, it's indeed a bit difficult to get them to settle down and watch a play." He gave a slight beat and added, "Speaking of which, I feel that you and Anan look as if you are from two worlds, it's really unbelievable that you can spend so many years together. Pro-brothers still fight against each other, yet you don't have any conflicts at all."

Qiao Wen laughed: "How can there not be conflicts? However, Ah Nan is still quite compliant with me, or else we would have broken up many times."

Lin Zi Rui smiled knowingly, "That's normal. My own uncle and I are still often at odds."

As he was talking, and almost at the parking place, a newsboy ran up to him with the evening paper: "Sir, would you like a paper?"

Qiao Wen casually pulled out a coin in exchange for a newspaper that still smelled of ink, casually opened it, and through the dim night light, his eyes fell on a piece of news on the newspaper, and his feet suddenly stopped.

Lin Zi Rui sensed his movements and asked curiously, "What's wrong Wen?"

Qiao Wen shook his head, "It's fine." He folded up the newspaper and waved goodbye to the other party, "Alright, I'm going back, we'll meet again sometime."

"Good." Lin Zi Rui nodded his head and smiled, "The happiest thing about returning to Hong Kong these past half a year or so is probably knowing you as a friend, Ah Wen."

Jovian smiled, "It's an honor."

The two said their "goodbyes".

It wasn't until he got back home and sat on the couch that Jovian opened the newspaper in his hand again.

The headline of the entertainment section is a report by Chen Canaan - Pretty Boy South Vegas night life, a night of gambling millions without panic.

"Mr. Joe, would you like some ginseng tea?" The maid came up and asked.

Jovian's eyes were fixed on the newspaper and he waved his hand, "You guys go get some rest."

The maid retired, Qiao Wen thought for a moment and dialed a phone number, the one who picked up on the other end was Li Xing Chen, who was none other than the male lead of the play.

"Tatsu, is Nan at the hotel?"

Li Xingchen stammered, "Well ...... like not."

Jovan: "He went to the casino?"

Li Xing Chen seemed to struggle for a moment before whispering, "Ah Wen, it's not that I'm intentionally tattletale, but I don't think it's good to hide some things from you. Originally, I just came to Macau, everything is normal, but recently, as soon as Ah Nam finished work, he went to drink and gamble, yesterday I heard that he lost more than a million dollars, you have to take good care of it. It seems that there are still reporters who have filmed them, and it's not a good influence to publish it."

Jovian nodded, "Well, who does he hang out with?"

Li Xing Chen said, "It seems like it's Kevin Zhong from Lin's group, I reminded him of this, but he didn't take my words seriously at all. I know you guys can make money now, but it's not okay to squander like this, not to mention that some vices are a bottomless pit once you get into them, I'm so worried about Nan."

Jovian said, "Well, I know."

Hanging up the phone, Jovian threw the newspaper in the trash and went upstairs to rest.

Over the next two days, every now and then a newspaper would write about Chen Canaan's flamboyance in Macau, and occasionally Kevin Zhong's name would show up along with it.

A movie and TV personality and a worldly celebrity together do deserve a few pennies.

Qiaowen soon received a call from Lin Zirui.

"Ah Man, I saw what was written in the newspaper recently, and I asked my uncle, and it's true that he's always with Ah Nam in Macau. My uncle is the best at eating, drinking, and having fun, so I guess Ah Nam was brought up by him."

Qiao Wen sighed and said, "You can't say that, Nan is like a wild horse out of control in Macau without anyone to watch over him, and even if he hadn't met Mr. Zhong, it would probably be the same. I bought a boat ticket to Macau tonight to see what he's up to."

Lin Zirui said, "I'll go with you."

"Good thing too."
