Chapter 52 - Check (1/2)

The man’s build was very big, and every muscle of his body had experienced and undergone battles to maintain the optimum state and power it had. Together with the cold aura around his body, Song Ye felt that the thing leaning on her was a stone—a rock that could not be moved.

“What are you doing? Let go!” No matter how cold Song Ye was and how much she tried to avoid suspicion, she could not stand still when someone was trampling all over her. She tried to shake her wrist loose, and anger filled her pretty face.

Qin Zhan looked down and could coincidentally see Song Ye’s black and bright eyes, which were very clear and child-like. Even if she was angry, it could not ruin her beautiful face. With one hand, he held the other party’s wrist and used a leg to trap her underneath. It would not hurt her and would definitely not let her escape. This professional method of his made Song Ye feel insulted like a bird in a cage.

However, her anger did not get a response from the other party. The man landed his gaze on her face and said clearly but slowly. “Your photos all have great angles with no mistakes at all. If this isn’t a talent, then you must have been trained for it.”

When he expressed his suspicions, he observed the shock in Song Ye’s heart. The man’s rough fingers and palm had searched her bit by bit, and the ticklish feeling made her very uncomfortable. If she did not know that the person was checking on her, Song Ye really had the feeling of being seduced.

However, a man like Qin Zhan was like a metal tree that would never blossom.

In her previous life, she was very confident in her appearance. No matter how she disguised herself, this face had saved her from countless dangerous scenarios as the only person that could remain so calm with great observation skills after seeing her would only be this stone.

After checking in detail, Qin Zhan did not find anything suspicious. The skin under his touch was very soft, and her joins were very thin; it should be a pair of hands that rarely touched weapons.

“Mister, are you done checking?” Seeing the suspicion fade away from his eyes, Song Ye opened her mouth coldly and pushed the other party away before arranging her clothes.

“Sorry.” Qin Zhan moved back and apologized politely, but there was still a strange feeling in his heart.

Song Ye sneered before she decisively sat there and ignored him. Actually, her heart was already beating very quickly as—within the last ten minutes of interacting with him—Song Ye had already realized how formidable the man was. No matter whether it was his fighting skills or his observation skills, he would definitely be a top fighter. Even if she had met Qin Zhan at her prime in the previous life, she had to deal with him carefully.

Now, she felt that it was better sitting opposite him than walking around blindly and arousing suspicion outside.

The atmosphere became very tense because of this incident. Vaguely, Song Ye heard a voice from the outside followed by footsteps; the women’s giggles were as clear as ever.

“Hm? Cousin Qian Qian, why don’t you go dance? Don’t you want to show off in front of that Young Master Qin?” The moment the child-like voice sounded, Song Ye found it very familiar and was taken aback by the ‘Young Master Qin’ at the end of her sentence.

“I’ve danced a few rounds and my legs are starting to hurt, but he has not even appeared. If it wasn’t for Master Qu’s introduction, I wouldn’t even bother with him. He’s so cold and not even gentle at all.” The other woman’s voice was gentle and soft, and she sounded slightly spoiled.

Song Ye completely believed her comments; which woman would be stupid enough to face a rock? If she did not bore herself to death, she would hold it in until she died.

“Hey, you can’t say that. He’s so handsome and was specifically brought by Master Qu. Perhaps he’s from the capital. There’s gold everywhere, and if you marry over, you’ll definitely be much richer. It’s better than staying in such a small place like Stone City.”
