“Don't listen to his nonsense, am I that kind of person? Our relationship is pure and based on emotional connection . ” Long Tianze pointed his index finger at Ling Ciye, giving him a warning look .
Ling Ciye burst out into laughter and did not say anything further .
As they were moving forward, a drunk man slowly appeared, heading in their direction . When he was about to collide with An Xiaoning, Jin Qingyan went forward rapidly and held back An Xiaoning's arm . Then, under her cold glance, he released his hand and said under his breath, “Stay by my side . ”
The further they went inside, the more crowded it was .
There were celebrities whom one only saw on television, big figures from the commercial world, and those with high social status . Most of them were men; however, there were very few married couples . After all, it was a living paradise . Those wealthy and powerful men would not be satisfied just staying by their wives' side . For them, love was but a fleeting moment, only enjoyment was the true meaning of life .
Seeing Jin Qingyan appear with a group of people, many eyes were fixed on their group .
Even though they only looked from afar, the women in the castles were exhilarated . Every one of those beauties wished they could kick aside An Xiaoning, who was beside him, and exchange positions with her .
The more it was like this, the more Jin Qingyan held onto An Xiaoning's hand tightly in front of the crowd, not fearing the gossip they would spread about it .
Only when they reached the private room in the restaurant did An Xiaoning shake off his hand and glared at him ferociously .
Jin Qingyan pretended like he did not see it and sat down immediately .
The waiter served the dishes in a steady stream, with no break in between . The originally empty table was now filled up by a wide variety of dishes .
It was not too exaggerated to describe the table of food as delicacies .
Jin Qingyan put on disposable gloves and picked up a prawn, placing it in An Xiaoning's bowl after he was done peeling off the shell . However, she placed it back into his bowl right after, remarking coldly, “Thanks, but I have my own hands . ”
Her cold, hard tone was extremely distant .
She did not eat much and was the first to leave the dining table .
“I'll go out and take a walk . ”
Only after she'd left the private room did An Xiaoning heave a sigh of relief . Now, everytime when she stayed within a close distance to Jin Qingyan, she felt a sense of suffocation .
She walked down the corridor and headed east, looking around as she walked . After walking for awhile, she realized that she was lost .
There were too many corridors and revolving doors; she no longer knew where she was at this point .
An Xiaoning started walking back according to her memory .
But when she reached a crossroad, she became utterly confused .
It was rather embarrassing to call for help, so she simply tried to find the private room they were dining in .
She stopped in front of a room and looked at the room number . It was exactly the room they were dining in . An Xiaoning smiled in relief and knocked on the door .
The person who opened the door was a man wearing sunglasses, who immediately made way for her to enter .
Once she entered, An Xiaoning felt her whole body stiffening .
This was not a private room to dine in but a suite to sleep in .
The scene before her shocked her particularly — a man was leaning against the bed frame, a cigarette in hand and completely naked . A woman was kneeling on the bed, using her mouth to serve him .
At the door stood a row of men in sunglasses .
“Sorry, I entered the wrong room . ” She turned and was about to leave when the man on the bed raised his eyebrows and said slowly, “Stop there . ”
An Xiaoning still opened the door, but a man in sunglasses grabbed onto her arm .
She pursed her lips, kicking the abdomen of the man in sunglasses . Her kick was strong and powerful, directly throwing the man a few meters away .
She opened the door and ran out at the speed of light, with two men in sunglasses chasing after her .
At this moment, in the suite, the man on the bed sat up slowly and grabbed onto the woman's hair . “Your mouth is as big as a catfish, get out . ”
The woman did not dare to say a word and immediately got down from the bed . She rapidly put on her clothes and got out of the room .
The man got up and went into the bathroom, rinsing his body . He then came out in a bathrobe and picked up the wine glass on the table, standing before the window with a cold look in his eyes .
Very soon, the two men in sunglasses returned and reported to him, “Master, she was really running too fast, we didn't catch up to her . ”
“Useless things! You can't even catch a woman . Then again, it can't be blamed on the both of you . She's An Xiaoning after all . Not bad, not bad really . She's really trained her agility well . ”
“Master, Jin Qingyan's here too . I wonder if he knows you're here . ”
“It's his territory here, would he not know?”
“His ex-wife looks far better in real life than from pictures online…” He raised his neck, slowly gulping the wine down his throat .
“I heard that to win her back, Jin Qingyan is putting in a lot of effort, but it's not working out well . This woman is not easy . ”
“She's really someone with character . ”
An Xiaoning gasped for breath heavily as she leaned against the wall . Those two men were really good at chasing .
Realizing that she should have called someone in the first place, An Xiaoning took out her phone and made a call to Mei Yangyang .
The one who picked up was Jin Qingyan instead .
His face was slightly flushed, possibly because his fever had not subsided completely .
He went to her without delay and forcefully dragged her away . The warmth of his palm made An Xiaoning silent .
She thought that he was going to bring her to the room where everyone had gathered at . Unexpectedly, after entering, she realized that the room was empty with only the two of them .
“Where is everyone else?”
“They went to watch a performance, I'll bring you there in awhile . ”
“Why didn't you go?”
“I was afraid someone would get lost, so I was looking around for her . ”
Jin Qingyan relentlessly pinched her nose . “Can't you stay by my side at all times? What if you get abducted again?”
“I won't get abducted easily, I'm not that weak anymore . ”
“You may have good skills now, but can you defend yourself from a bullet?” His face fell slightly . “Being overly naive is your fatal weakness . Looks like it's a flaw you were born with . After all, you grew up on the mountains . ”
An Xiaoning turned speechless from his words .
She remarked sulkily, “Take me to find them . ”
“Why? You're not used to being alone with me?”
“Yes . ”
“Then I'll deliberately not let you have your wish . ” He raised his chin slightly . “Stay with me while I have my drip . ”
An Xiaoning thought of the tangled up relationship that they would have, then replied in a cold and harsh manner, “Jin Qingyan, if I said that after our divorce, I was somewhat moved by your sincerity, it was because you did so many things for me and even wanted to die by drinking poison . But now, I hope this won't continue anymore . I don't love you at all, and I really hate your behaviour now, it's making me annoyed . ”
His slightly red eyes turned cold . “What did you say?”
“Didn't you hear it all loud and clear? There's no need to ask again . ”
She looked directly at him with her almond-shaped eyes, with no tinge of avoidance at all . “Jin Qingyan, let me tell you directly so that you won't think I have some lingering feelings for you . I won't ever love you . My character is like this . If I get a divorce, I'll make a clean cut once and for all . ”
His palm was clenched into a tight fist, and his whole figure gave off a cold feeling .
But Jin Qingyan did not speak and just stared at her outright . An Xiaoning was completely fearless and stared back at him . The silence in the room was so overwhelming that even the sound of a pin dropping would have been audible .
