Cen Xi lowered her thick and curly eyelashes and bit her lip hard. It was only after a while that she spoke.
“There’s nothing to say to him. You know that he has a deep feud with my sister and even if he can accept me, his family can’t.”
Bai Lin looked at Cen Xi’s dark gaze and he felt a stifling feeling in his heart. “Xiao Xi, you have fallen in love with him.”
If she had not fallen in love with him, she would not have thought so far ahead.
Cen Xi could not deny it.
Instead, she scooped some soup into her mouth. She drank it a few minutes ago and thought it was delicious, but now, she felt that it was extremely bitter.
After liking a person, one’s mood would be difficult to control because his every move would make one’s heart rise and fall. Cen Xi did not like this feeling. If he had tried to move on from her, she should also try to let go of him!
Now the important thing was to cure her ears and not let her sister worry. After getting her ears cured, she would try to go to Burma again to see if she could see her sister.
Finally calming herself down, her low spirits improved, but soon, it became low again.
Not long after that group of rich young men went upstairs, several fashionable and sexy young women came. They were all beautiful and graceful. Together, they formed a beautiful picture and their attractiveness was as good as those rich young men.
It was easy to recognize two of them from their appearances on TV before. They were famous models internationally. Although Cen Xi could not hear what they were saying, she could feel that they were going to have dinner with those young men.
Seeing Cen Xi staring at the door, Bai Lin looked back. As he swept his gaze over those fair and beautiful women with long legs, he frowned and turned back to say to Cen Xi, “It’s indecent to dress like that.”
Cen Xi chuckled. “I think they look good. Their legs are so long and fair. It looks nice.”
Bai Lin shook his head. “Let’s not eat here anymore. Shall we change to another place?”
Cen Xi took a paper napkin and wiped her lips. “I’m full. I want to go home.”
“Okay, I’ll take you back.”
After paying the bill, Bai Lin took Cen Xi back to her apartment. Once they found someone to change the lock, Cen Xi went into the house which she had not been back for a long time. Lying on the sofa, she stared at the ceiling, her mind empty.
There were still many things to do. For example, she had not found the assassin who wanted to kill her and her sister, she needed to mend her identification card, buy a cell phone, apply for a visa and so on…
As she was thinking about it, she could not help but think back to what had happened in the restaurant. The man had gone into the private restaurant and after a while, several famous models also went in. In fact, the more she thought about it, the more flustered she felt.
Argh! Stop thinking about it anymore!
He had nothing to do with her anymore so it was none of her business if he was with other women, but she just could not calm down.
Being kept on the anxious seat, she now understood how he felt when he found that she had Young Master Li’s jade ring with her and even chose to believe Young Master Li.
If he did not like her, why was he so angry?
Biting her lip, Cen Xi got up from the sofa.
She went to the bathroom to take a bath, then took out a Hepburn-style black dress from the wardrobe and put it on.
The front and back were V-necked with an elegant split that outlined her figure. The retro puffy skirt hem was elegant and light. Her hair was in big waves and she had put on exquisite makeup before stepping out in her high heels.
After getting into the taxi and saying the name of the private restaurant, Cen Xi regretted it and wanted to back out.
Didn’t she not want to get entangled anymore?
What did she want to do, getting all dressed up?
Cen Xi opened her mouth, wanting to ask the driver to turn back, but the words were by her lips and she could not say them out.
The taxi stopped at the door of the private restaurant.
Cen Xi went in and asked the waiter, “Which room is Young Master Qiao in?”
The waiter looked at Cen Xi, who was dressed exquisitely with a cold and charming appearance, and thought she was called by those rich young men. He pointed upstairs. “Peony Room.”
Cen Xi did not want to be too bothersome. She would make some things clear with Qiao Yanze and leave. Besides, she had nothing to fear.
…
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open and several pairs of eyes looked towards it.
Cen Xi pursed her red lips and swept her gaze around the room. Qiao Yanze and Tang Xi were sitting together, each with a famous model beside them.
Qiao Yanze had one hand on the back of the model’s chair and they were close together. The model was holding a glass of red wine in her hand and was about to tip the liquid into his mouth.
Cen Xi was feeling uncomfortable being stared at, but she did not flinch. She looked at the man who was close to the model coldly. “Qiao Yanze, come out for a while.”
Few people in the room dared to call Qiao Yanze’s full name. So, when Cen Xi’s voice sounded, the originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.
Other than Qiao Yanze, almost everyone looked towards the door. Tang Xi, who was flirting with the model, also looked over at Cen X and kicked Qiao Yanze under the table.
Qiao Yanze raised his eyes and looked at Cen Xi who was at the door. When he saw her exquisite appearance, he frowned slightly.
“Young Master Qiao, do you know her?” A young man asked.
Qiao Yanze waved his hand. “Continue to eat. Don’t get affected by irrelevant people.”
Cen Xi saw that Qiao Yanze was ignoring her and she threw him a look before turning to leave. After the door was closed again, Qiao Yanze sat up straight.
Tang Xi leapt towards him in a gossipy manner. “Miss Cen has lost weight, but she is very feminine with makeup!”
Qiao Yanze leaned against the chair. “Drink your wine.”
One of the young men was interested in Cen Xi and asked probingly, “Young Master Qiao, if you don’t want her, can you let me get her?”
As soon as the young man had finished speaking, a plate flew towards him. Fortunately, he dodged it fast, or his head would have broken open.
No one dared to joke about Cen Xi again and the atmosphere in the box became lively again.
…
Cen Xi did not leave the private restaurant and waited outside for a long time.
In the cool breeze of the night, she wrapped her hands around her slender bare arms and looked at the entrance of the restaurant from time to time.
When it was nearly midnight, a group of people came out one after another from the private restaurant. Even Tang Xi had come out, but Cen Xi did not see Qiao Yanze and that famous model either.
Cen Xi could not wait any longer and went upstairs again. Pushing open the door, she looked inside.
There was no one inside.
There was another door in the room and seemed to be a lounge. The door was not closed fully. Cen Xi went inside and had just walked to the door when she saw the woman’s sexy bra and underwear scattered on the ground.
Almost immediately, Cen Xi realized what was going on inside and she bit her lip, digging her fingertips into her palms.
In her mind, there seemed to be two voices tearing at her nerves. One was asking her to leave quickly and not to get to the bottom of what was happening inside. The other was asking her to go in and have a look. Even if she died, she wanted to know what was going on.
