208 I Love You, But I Donst Dare to Let You Know 9 (1/2)
Jin Qingyan sat up, then got down from the bed and changed. His face still did not look good, but he was in a relatively better condition.
When An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang came out of their room together, the three waiting at the door were taken aback.
Long Tianze looked at the two before him and could not contain himself, letting out an exclamation before clapping. ”Both of you look great!”
Ling Ciye said jokingly, ”I didn't come with a female partner, but I guess I have a chance to feast my eyes.”
Jin Qingyan looked at the new short dress she wore; she looked absolutely sexy in it.
Maybe because of the mark he left on her neck, he noticed that her neck was wrapped in a scarf, which gave her a different air.
”Let's go.”
The five went out and headed for a meal first. An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang were not very hungry but still ate a little, in case they would feel hungry at night.
They did not eat in a private room but ate directly at the hall of the restaurant.
Long Tianze poked Jin Qingyan's arm as he asked, ”Isn't that Xi Bolai?”
Jin Qingyan looked up and glanced over. ”I'd seen him long ago.”
An Xiaoning looked over too and froze, realizing that the person Long Tianze was referring to was the man on the bed she had accidentally chanced upon earlier.
”Tianze, what does he do?”
”He's the head of the SU Organisation, not a good guy,” Long Tianze commented under his breath.
”I've seen him today.”
An Xiaoning's words just landed when Jin Qingyan inquired, ”Where did you see him?”
”When I went out alone just now and got lost. I went into a room which looked exactly the same and had the same room number. But it turns out, it wasn't the same room we ate in but his suite.”
”Ms. An, there're many different layouts here. There are plenty of rooms that look exactly the same and with the same room number.” Long Tianze continued to probe, ”You went into his room?”
”Umm, I went in, and he was…” An Xiaoning thought of the scene and was slightly embarrassed, so she simply did not mention it. ”I'd just gone in when I realized something was not quite right. When I wanted to go out, his men stopped me. I kicked one of the guards and ran out. The guards continued to chase me, but they eventually could not catch up.”
Jin Qingyan's expression was cold. ”If they'd caught up with you, you'd have been in for it.”
”That would have been caused by you anyway. If you didn't force me to come here, nothing would've happened.”
”Still talking back?”
The anxiety and worry beneath his eyes were not obvious.
An Xiaoning unknowingly looked towards Xi Bolai's direction. She somehow felt that he knew her and that his gaze was almost predatory, which made her rather annoyed.
After eating, the five went to watch a performance.
The resort at night appeared even more crowded and lively.
The male performers on stage who dressed like female demons acted even more graceful than women. They all wore smiles on their faces as they played their strengths, performing immaculately.
An Xiaoning watched the group of special performers on stage and felt it was really not easy for them.
Everyone had their own difficulties in their lives, and no one had it easier than others. The rich had their own problems, and the poor had their own worries too.
But they still deserved a round of applause. As An Xiaoning watched from the audience seat, a bold performer invited her on stage to dance with them.
Jin Qingyan's face turned dark instantly. He especially disliked watching her dance in a seductive dress under the eyes of so many others. It was a right that he solely had!
He wanted to burst out in anger, but Long Tianze reminded him, ”Don't embarrass yourself, okay? There are so many people around who know you, especially Xi Bolai.”
Jin Qingyan had no choice but to bear it, watching as she was on stage in her exquisite makeup and radiant smile, giving off that unique air that she had.
The applause that came was endless.
Everyone was in the high spirits of a warm summer day. Only Jin Qingyan seemed to be in the middle of a cold, harsh winter.
Once the song ended, the performers seemed to want An Xiaoning to continue, but Jin Qingyan went forward and forcefully dragged her off the stage.
”Just try going up there again.”
”You have no right to butt in.”
