Wei Wuxian noticed exactly when the handsome man entered the bar, because it seemed like the air was different around them. Not because of the chill outside, but from the man himself.
He looked like an ancient King, with regal air, posture, and even in his every move, and Wei Wuxian was intrigued.
He observed the man from the corner of his eyes when he chose to sit in the corner instead of joining him, and noticed that the bartender, Liu Qingge, also treated him with the utmost respect. Before that, he also heard Xie Lian talk about his employer with such respect, and when he saw the beautiful man waving to the newcomer, he could see that everyone noticed him too, and some of them even nodded with respect.
Being an author, he quickly deduced from all the facts that this was the man he was looking for. But to make sure that this was the right man, he asked Xie Lian.
"So, who's the hottie?" He winked at Xie Lian. He saw how Hua Cheng's face changed when he saw Xie Lian, and how he sat next to him and hogged all his attention.
"Oh, that hottie?" Xie Lian giggled. "He's my boss, Lan Wangji, and yes he is hot indeed. Very. He's single too, and not because of a lack of a partner."
"Go on, I'm very interested." Wei Wuxian moved his body slightly closer to Xie Lian, to hear better what he wanted to say.
"Well, he's the last descendant of the Duke of Gusu Lan, and although the Lans were very rich and powerful, Lan Wangji's uncle gambled all the inheritance away, leaving him a pile of debts and the crumbling palace. Why, are you in the market to buy a palace?" Xie Lian chuckled. He knew that Wei Wuxian was very rich but to buy the palace would need some serious money, especially with the repair it needed badly.
"Maybe. I will need to talk to the Duke first though." Wei Wuxian grinned as he stood up and walked to the direction of where Lan Wangji was sitting like a royal he was, and sat in front of him, smiling widely.
"Hey, Lan Wangji, right? My name is Wei Wuxian, and I heard from Xie Lian that you have a palace for sale?" He added a wink for a measure, but the man only looked at him with the fire in his golden eyes for a split second, before he masked his expression into a cold and beautiful statue.
"Maybe. Depends on who's buying." Lan Wangji glared at the man, and then proceeded to ignore him and continued eating.
The whole bar was silent because they were waiting for Lan Wangji's response to Wei Wuxian's very direct approach, especially Xie Lian, Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge. The three of them were the ones close enough to Lan Wangji to know that there was a temper under that cold and handsome persona he showed to others.
Wei Wuxian was very intrigued with this handsome man, and he loved nothing more than a challenge.
"Good. Let's go after you finish your…" Wei Wuxian glanced at his food and his face was slightly frowning, "...food."
"The first tour is at ten a.m, then the second tour will start at three p.m. You have to wait until three for the next one, unfortunately the ticket is already sold out for today, so I suggest you should book your ticket for tomorrow." Lan Wangji answered like a robot with the monotone voice, and Wei Wuxian was surprised to hear the blatant rejection.
No one could ever refuse his charm, and yet, this man refused him right on his face without so much as losing a breath.
But then he grinned widely.
"Okay, I guess I will see you tomorrow morning at ten a.m, Lan Wangji." He smiled sweetly at him and left him alone, back to his table.
The man was a challenge, and Wei Wuxian loved nothing better than a challenge.
It made life so much fun.
