Chapter 693 Have to get going (1/2)
Inside Moonlight, Yue Ling stares at the woman who had uttered her name. She (the woman) wore a simple white dress and her brown hair was put in a low ponytail.
Yue Ling maintained a calm and collected demeanor, but her mind was elsewhere. However, she didn't let her thoughts trail too far as a faint smile that did not reach her eyes curls on her lip.
”Ling Ni.”
That's right, the person Yue Ling saw when sitting at the corner of the restaurant was none other than Ling Ni. The same Ling Ni who crushed Liu Shan's heart into pieces. However, Yue Ling doesn't know that they're the same person.
Ling Ni was surprised to run into Yue Ling. The first time they met was also the last. She smiles a chuckle and glance at Jiang Shengyi then back to Yue Ling.
”Are you also leaving?”
Yue Ling sighs a smile and nods her head. She must have over thought the idea that this Ling Ni is the same as the Ling Ni that Liu Shan mentioned. After all, there were many women with the name.
She parts her lip answers the question but notices the man standing next to Ling Ni. Even without looking at him, she could tell from the corners of her eyes that he was bulky and bald-headed.
However, it wasn't his body appearance that made her notice him. It was the way he was fidgeting like someone who was getting impatient and wanted to leave.
Her eyes subconsciously glance at the man and the moment she saw his face, a dangerous flicker of light flash inside her eyes.
She quickly concealed her feelings and looks back at Ling Ni. Everything she did was so natural that neither Ling Ni nor the man noticed her movements.
”We were just leaving. I didn't think to see you here.”
Her words fell and she looks at Jiang Shengyi then at Ling Ni.
”I would love to stay and chat, but we have to get going. I hope you don't mind.”
Ling Ni wanted to talk to Yue Ling some more, but knowing that the retired model is busy, she could only nod her head in understanding.
”I see, then I hope you have a good day. When there's time, maybe, you, Zhao Ya'Er, and I can meet to go shopping.”
Yue Ling doesn't answer with words but smiles a nod. It made one unable to understand if she was agreeing to the idea or disagreeing.
She looks away from Ling Ni and walks out of the restaurant with Jiang Shengyi.
As the two women disappeared out the door, the man standing next to Ling Ni place one arm around her waist.
”Babe, are they your friends?”
Ling Ni slightly jumped when she remembers who she was with. She didn't dare to move his hand away and nods her head.
”Mm, but I only know the one I spoke with. As for the other woman, this is my first time seeing her.”
The man sounded an 'ah' sound and pulls her closer to him before striding out the door. He touches his chin and thought about how pretty the two women were, mostly Yue Ling.
He has been with countless beauties but after seeing Yue Ling, he has to admit, none can compare to her. Not even Ling Ni.
The more he thought about Yue Ling, the corners of his mouth curls up into a malicious sneer. He wanted her. Not as a plaything but to be his woman. Even making her his wife is in mind.
Thinking this, he lowers his head and pulls Ling Ni in for a kiss. He pulls away and grins widely.
”Why don't you bring her to Red Moon? If you do, I'll reward you with anything you want. I might even consider giving you back your freedom.”
Ling Ni felt like someone had poured ice-cold water onto her body and made her froze. However, when she heard him mention her freedom, she felt a wave of hesitation wash inside her.
