After stepping into the room, Darren helped Li Yi take her windbreaker off and he handed it to the waiter. Li Yi smiled gently at him, as if to thank him for the sweet gesture.
To the watchful eye of a mere observer, their relationship seemed really strong.
Liu Yunlong was taken by surprise at this sight and he stood rooted to the ground, watching them.
Darren felt a gaze follow his every move and looked up to find that Liu Yunlong had been staring at the both of them.
“Chief Liu,” Darren called.
Li Yi followed Darren’s voice and her eyes met Liu Yunlong’s. He turned to leave, walking to Qian Qian’s side, putting one arm around her waist and pressing her against the bar counter. He lowered his head and buried them in Qian Qian’s neck. One would most certainly have thought that they were kissing.
Qian Qian’s eyes widened in fear. When she finally broke out of her panic induced trance, the mixture of Liu Yunlong’s clean, masculine scent and the whiff of wine made her legs go soft. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest but she was determined not to let her nervousness show. She smiled sweetly and reached out to hug his broad shoulders.
“Don’t you think you’re switching gears too quickly?”
Liu Yunlong lowered his eyes and did not speak.
His thin lips hovered a few millimeters from Qian Qian’s skin.
Seeing this, Darren walked over with Li Yi, “Chief Liu, is this your girlfriend?”
Liu Yunlong held Qian Qian in his arms and turned around. He nodded, “Yes, she’s my girlfriend.”
He immediately looked to Li Yi to see her reaction, but her face remained blank. She averted his gaze, turning instead to Qian Qian and shooting her a polite and friendly smile.
Liu Yunlong’s heart sank and he felt really stupid for hoping for more from her. She had made it clear two days ago that she wanted nothing to do with him and yet he still hadn’t given up on her. He felt childish for using Qian Qian to spite her. As it turned out, she truly didn’t seem to care.
He couldn’t wrap his head around this – how could she suddenly stop feeling the love she’d felt for him in the past?
Qian Qian followed Li Yi with a curious gaze. What did Liu Yunlong like about her?
“Chief Liu, we shan’t bother you anymore. Let’s meet another day,” Darren said as he steered Li Yi away.
The moment they left, Liu Yunlong let go of Qian Qian quickly. He slumped back down into his seat and continued drinking.
“Hey, Liu Yunlong, did you hug me just now to spite that woman?” Qian Qian asked.
Liu Yunlong ignored her and took a swig of the bottle of wine in front of him. He gulped it down in the blink of an eye.
Qian Qian snorted, “You’re such an ungrateful person. You used me to spite her and immediately after you were done with me, you pushed me aside. However, I still have a soft spot for you so I shall sit and have a drink with you.”
Qian Qian called the waiter over and ordered a glass of wine.
An hour flew by as Liu Yunlong drowned himself in alcohol. Xiao Tian, his assistant, and Qian Qian helped him up to his hotel room.
The moment they entered the room, Xiao Tian’s cellphone rang. He hung up hurriedly and said, “Qian Qian, I don’t know what’s been happening to Yunlong the past couple of days. He’s been drinking at the bar everyday and it seems that he has caused some trouble. I just got a call from the company asking me to hurry back to the office. I’ll leave you to take care of Yunlong.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Xiao Tian shut the door and left. Qian Qian struggled to steer Liu Yunlong to the bed as he was much too heavy for her small frame to handle. He tripped over his own feet and fell on the bed, pulling Qian Qian along with him.
As she lay on top of him, Liu Yunlong closed his eyes and muttered softly, “Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi…”
Qian Qian traced her fingers along the outlines of his body, “Don’t call her Xiao Yi anymore. She’s married! You have to cherish the person in front of you instead. What about me?”
“Feel this,” she whispered softly as she traced his fingers over her skin, “Do you like it? There are so many guys practically drooling over this.”
Liu Yunlong’s mind, though in an alcohol-induced dizzying fog, suddenly jolted at the thought of how Xiao Yi had felt when he had touched her two days ago. His fingertips burned as he recalled how her skin felt and he felt his desire rise. He gulped and quickly turned over, pressing Qian Qian under him.
He opened his eyes slowly. Qian Qian asked, “Are you awake? Do you like me? I like you so much so that tonight I’m willing to let you do anything you want to me.”
Qian Qian slid the thin strap off her shoulder. She suddenly felt a gush of cold air across her body. She looked down and realised Liu Yunlong had flipped over onto the ground. He closed his eyes in disappointment and spat out, “Get lost!”
Qian Qian sat up immediately and noticed the growing tent in the front of Liu Yunlong’s trousers.
“Why did you tell me to leave? Don’t you want me?”
Liu Yunlong breathed heavily, “I don’t want you.”
He’d thought she was Xiao Yi. For a brief moment, he’d been over the moon that she was touching him all over but when it hit him that she had hated his touch so much just two days before, a wave of confusion rushed through him.
Qian Qian was both embarrassed and angry, “I really don’t understand what you like about her. Yes, she’s beautiful but don’t you think I’m beautiful as well? Besides, she’s already another man’s wife. You, on the other hand, can only afford to dream about having her. Hmph!”
Qian Qian stormed out of the room in a huff. She felt a burning ball of rage start to form and she knew she needed to get some cold water to calm herself down. As she headed to the bathroom, her mind flooded with a million thoughts. She had a stunning figure, a beautiful face and the number of men who liked her was enough to form a snaking queue. Yet, she only liked Liu Yunlong. It had been love at first sight – he had a mysterious air of masculinity and the way he was eager, patient and experienced all at once mesmerized her. As much as she liked him, she knew he liked that married woman.
As Qian Qian approached the bathroom door, she noticed two figures squirming in a corner. They looked like two men!
Qian Qian’s mouth fell open. This was the first time she had seen two gay men in her life. She quickly hid in a corner and peered curiously at them. She watched as they kissed. All of a sudden, a heart-stopping realization hit her. She sucked in a breath of cold air.
Darren?
It was him! He was gay!
Qian Qian turned around and immediately ran back to the room
“Liu Yunlong, do you have any idea what i saw just now? Oh my god, would you believe it, Darren is actually gay! He was a kissing a man just around the corner. Hey, Liu Yunlong, wake up!”
She shouted at him profusely, but alas, he had fallen asleep.
The next morning, Liu Yunlong peered open his eyes. He felt a throbbing headache start to form at the back of his head. He sat up and pressed his thumb to his temple. How much did he drink yesterday?
He walked to the bathroom to take a shower but stopped short in his tracks when he noticed Qian Qian sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed.
He looked at her coldly, “Why are you still here? You have three seconds to leave my room otherwise I’m calling security to kick you out!”
“Are you sure about that? What a pity! I had some very valuable information about Li Yi,” Qian Qian stood up proudly and headed to the door.
Liu Yunlong’s ears perked up at her name.
“Wait!” Liu Yunlong grabbed Qian Qian’s wrist and stared at her gloomily, “What news do you have?”
“Do you really want to know? If you really want to know, you must first give me a kiss.”
Liu Yunlong looked at her with a blank expression on his face.
Qian Qian sighed audibly, knowing she had no chance of getting a kiss out of the situation, “I saw Darren kissing a man last night. Darren is gay.”
