Ch 648: This is my business.

Aloof?

You should know that in the past, this word would never have been used to describe Tang Song.

Back then, he was the sunshine boy in his friends’ eyes; his smile was incredibly infectious.

But now?

His brows and eyes reveal gloom, his words tinged with sorrow.

Tang Song chuckled repeatedly, “Actually, this is something I’ve developed later in life.”

“Is it because of her?” Su Ling’er spoke frankly, her eyes fixed on him, her steps halting.

It was because of her that he reduced himself to this state; this is practically common knowledge, so he has nothing to hide.

“Mm, because I love her too much, I can’t bear to let her go.”

His thin lips parted slightly, each syllable carrying an inescapable bitterness. Tang Song’s gaze dimmed, but the self-mockery on his face was clear for all to see.

Su Ling’er tugged at his sleeve, “Haven’t you considered distracting yourself? Perhaps someone more suitable is waiting for you. Staying stagnant will cause you to miss out on so much.”

“Will it?” Tang Song murmured. Regarding love, he no longer dared to hope; he never got it before, and now he doesn’t want it.

“It will, it will! Anyway, don’t be so down! When people are alive, they must have vigor!”

Su Ling’er struck a pose of encouragement and effort.

Tang Song was amused by her, “Didn’t you say you were hungry?”

“Oh, right! Let’s go to the restaurant!”

With that, Su Ling’er pulled Tang Song towards the restaurant, running wildly.

The Boss watched from the corner, smiling repeatedly. This girl seems truly nice. If only she could completely open this brat Tang Song’s heart. But there’s one thing… In Tang Song’s eyes, does he see this girl as Su Ling’er, or Han Du’er?

—

The establishment is full of customers; tonight’s new merchandise will be showcased.

The Boss, abandoning his usual relaxed demeanor, walked solemnly to the center of the stage.

Soon, the Waiter brought three cages. The black cloth was lifted to reveal three perfectly sculpted male bodies. Their fear and trembling were evident.

Su Ling’er watched secretly from backstage, her brows furrowed with worry. “How will they be treated?”

She thought this bar was like the ones she knew before; now she sees it’s not…

Tang Song pulled Su Ling’er away from her intense observation, preventing her from seeing any inappropriate scenes. “After they’re sold, they become slaves. Their treatment depends entirely on their Master.”

SM！！！！！

Su Ling’er’s mind exploded with these two letters. She was astonished, speechless. “The lives of the wealthy… I truly can’t comprehend!”

Seeing her sudden realization, Tang Song couldn’t help but tease her, “Should I buy one for you?”

“No, no, no!” She waved her hands repeatedly. “I’m not worthy!”

The three men on stage had remarkably good appearances; in the entertainment industry, they would absolutely be top-tier fresh meat. It’s a pity they’re going to be sold here as slaves.

“Since you know, don’t peek anymore, lest you cause trouble.” Tang Song’s smile faded, and he gave serious instructions.

Su Ling’er quickly nodded, “Mm-mm, I know. I won’t cause you trouble.”

“By the way, you still haven’t told me when you plan to return home?”

“No hurry.”

“But your Parents are very anxious.”

“Then let them be anxious for a few more days.”

“That’s not right!”

“It’s my business!”
