Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As night fell, Lu Jinqi lazily sat in the corner of a bar. Her slender fingers held a cigarette, and the air was filled with smoke.
A dim light shone on her face, obscuring her expression, adding a touch of mystery to her vibe.
“Hello, here’s your wine.” The waiter placed the glass down respectfully.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Jinqi from the corner of his eyes and could not help but click his tongue.
This lady had attracted everyone’s attention ever since she came in. Even though she quietly sat in the corner, many people still tried to sneak glances at her from time to time.
After the cigarette had burned out, Lu Jinqi picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp.
“Gu Yichen, how dare you have the guts to still come look for me?”
A familiar female voice sounded, and Lu Jinqi’s interest was piqued. She changed into a comfortable position and looked at the people who were confronting each other not too far away.
“Xie Shuyao, you sent those photos, right?” Gu Yichen’s face looked pale, and his eyes squinted at the other party.
When she thought about those photos, Xie Shuyao’s expression faltered.
“So what if I did? Since you were already such a sc*mbag, you shouldn’t be afraid of people finding out,” Xie Shuyao admitted boldly.
‘How dare you cheat on me? You should be glad that I didn’t do anything far worse than this.’
No one wanted to be called a sc*mbag, and Gu Yichen was no exception.
His face darkened, and he replied coldly, “Xie Shuyao, you brought this on to yourself.”
As soon as he said that, four or five boys stepped forward with wretched smiles.
“Master Yi, how far can we go?” A boy with red hair asked.
Gu Yichen sat at the side and spat harshly, “Do whatever you want. Just don’t kill her.”
At this moment, Xie Shuyao’s expression changed. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she looked at these people warily.
“Gu Yichen, what are you trying to do? If you lay a hand on me, wouldn’t you just be bringing trouble to the Gu family?”
Gu Yichen sneered, “Then we’ll talk about it after I touch you. Shouldn’t you do something about it?”
The first sentence was for Xie Shuyao to hear, while the second sentence was for those people who watched.
“Gu Yichen, you’re crazy.”
“Whatever, go.”
After receiving the order, the few of them hungrily walked towards Xie Shuyao.
After watching enough, Lu Jinqi stood up, dusted off the dust on her pants, and went forward to pull Xie Shuyao behind her.
A girl suddenly appeared in front of the group!
The few of them looked at her and sized her up with ill intentions.
“Yo, where did this young lady come from? Do you want to play with us as well?”
Gu Yichen was also attracted by this petite face. A desire flashed across the depths of his eyes.
“Sure.” After quickly replying, Lu Jinqi picked up a wine bottle and swung it at the man’s head.
With a muffled sound, blood instantly flowed down from the man’s face.
Lu Jinqi licked her lips and smirked. Her entire body exuded hostility. “How was that? Was it fun enough for you?”
The bar suddenly became quiet. Everyone was dumbfounded by this turn of events.
The man reached out to touch the blood that dripped on his face. When he saw the blood on his hand, he immediately pulled out a knife from his pocket and rushed over fiercely.
“Hey lady, be careful,” Xie Shuyao came back to her senses and quickly exclaimed a warning when she saw a knife rushing towards Lu Jinqi.
Lu Jinqi turned to the side and effortlessly grabbed his wrist. She squeezed hard, and the knife dropped with a clank onto the floor. Then, she raised her foot and kicked the man’s lower abdomen.
It was a fast and ruthless action.
Before the man could react, he was already lying on the ground. The pain from his lower abdomen made him break out in cold sweat.
“Grab her for me,” the man said through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, the rest of them rushed forward.
Lu Jinqi grabbed one of them and threw him over her shoulder. Sensing movements on her left, she dodged to the side.
She grabbed the man’s collar with one hand, pulled him forward, and punched him in the face.
…
The moment Si Jingyun and the other two entered, they saw a rowdy Lu Jinqi.
Qi Ye turned his head and teased, “Master Jing, your little child is a little ruthless.”
Hearing this, Si Jingyun chuckled. “Indeed.”
Xie Lingchuan did not say anything. He frowned at the familiar person next to her. Why was that guy here?
After finishing off the last person, Lu Jinqi’s cold gaze landed on Gu Yichen. On the receiving end, Gu Yichen felt as though he was being stared down at by a wild beast. His legs started to tremble non-stop from the piercing gaze.
“Get lost.”
All of a sudden, Gu Yichen and a few others ran off without even looking back.
The scene was extremely baffling. No one expected that those thugs would get beaten up by a little girl. Initially, some people were prepared to call the police, but in the end, there was no need for that.
“Thank you for saving me,” Xie Shuyao said sincerely as she looked at her.
Lu jinqi replied, “No need, I just don’t like how they acted.” Just as she turned around to leave, she bumped into a hard chest. When she raised her head, she saw Si Jingyun with a faint smile on his face. She had a bad feeling about this.
It was just as she expected.
Si Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest, “Little child, why are you throwing yourself into my arms?”
He deliberately dragged out his last syllable, causing Lu Jinqi’s heart to skip a beat.
Lu Jinqi took a step back and chuckled. “It was an accident.”
Si Jingyun acknowledged her hesitation and looked at her with an unreadable expression.
As a romantic drama enthusiast, Xie Shuyao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at them. She was on the verge of shouting them to just kiss already!
“Xie Shuyao, explain to me why you’re here,” Xie Lingchuan said faintly.
Xie Shuyao knew that voice very well. The moment she heard him, she knew that he was about to lose his temper. She thought to herself as she outwardly groaned, ‘This is not going to end well.”
“Well, I wanted to come here first and wait for you guys. I don’t know how Gu Yichen found out that I was here but he did, so he brought his men over to bully me, then everything else happened,” Xie Shuyao pouted angrily as she gestured to Lu Jinqi, implying that the petite girl had saved her.
What else needed to be said apart from this?
Xie Lingchuan glared at her, then thanked Lu Jinqi profusely. “Thank you for tonight. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened to this girl. If you have any problems in the future, you can come and find me.”
“Lingchuan, what about Master Jing?” Qi Ye was never one to waste an opportunity to tease others, so he spoke with a mischievous grin.
Instantly, Xie Lingchuan was confused and glanced at his side.
Si Jingyun’s expression was indifferent and there was not a single trace of emotion on his unreadable face.
“Thanks, I’ll be leaving first,” Lu Jinqi said impatiently.
“I’ll send you off,” Si Jingyun naturally blurted out.
The two of them walked in front while Qi Ye struck his chin behind them. “Do you think Master Jing is serious?”
“If you’re really curious, go ask him yourself,” Xie Ling Chuan rolled his eyes at him.
‘Ask him myself?’ Qi Ye shuddered at the thought. He would never, ever in his life ask such a question.
…
Lu Jinqi looked at the car in front of her and whistled.
Si Jingyun flicked her head. “Little child, be more civilized.”
Lu Jinqi did not reply. Was this guy too engrossed in calling her little child?
“Where are we going?” Si Jingyun asked as his hands lazily rested on the steering wheel.
“The hotel you were at last time,” she said as she closed her eyes to rest.
The car started, and the silent drive made the atmosphere even more depressing.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, but she had still not woken up.
Si Jingyun tilted his head to look, and a literal sleeping beauty entered his line of sight.
Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, Si Jingyun got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and leaned down.
“What are you waiting for?” Feeling the unfamiliar gaze, Lu Jinqi opened her eyes and saw the structured and calculating face in front of her.
Warmth spread around her body as Si Jingyun’s gaze fell on her, exuding an aggressive aura.
Jingyun smiled casually and leaned closer. “What do you think?”
