Gu Jiao shivered uncontrollably and her eyes were glassy as she stared back at Ran Xueyi after being forced to face her. Relief seemed to have washed down on her body when she heard those words.
Ran Xueyi curled her lips sardonically and patted her cheeks: "Don't get too comfortable yet. The night is still young."
After almost an hour had passed inside the bathroom, Cindy finally woke up from her trance. There was no sound coming from inside the closed door in front of her and wondered if something bad had happened to her friend.
Earlier, she was so scared by Ran Xueyi that she was unable to move. Now that some time has passed, she regained control over her body, but the remaining fears she accumulated from the previous encounters with Ran Xueyi were still affecting her reasons.
Two knocks sounded from the door to the room and Cindy cautiously glanced at it. She hoped that another Ran Xueyi wouldn't pop out of it.
Thankfully, her fears didn't materialize and there were three people outside of the room. The manager smiled at her as he waved for the two good looking men to come forward, "Miss, here are the men we picked to serve you. They're both robust and energetic. Their faces are also very young and suit your preferences."
Under normal circumstances, one might bring the three men with bigger figures than Cindy inside and have them help her save her friend, Gu Jiao, but Cindy kept her mouth shut and ruthlessly chased the men away like a guardian who was tasked to keep people away from a monumental place.
"You arrived too late! We don't need your services anymore!" Cindy pushed them away and closed the door behind her with a bang. Then after closing the door, she fearfully gazed back inside the room, afraid that she might have disturbed the ghost inside the bathroom to come out.
However, Cindy didn't even have time to scream or hide her presence because the moment she turned, she saw Ran Xueyi standing outside of the bathroom door, wiping her hands with a clean towel and raising an eyebrow at her.
"Who was it?" she asked.
Cindy gasped and trembingly answered honestly, "The club manager and two men we asked to service us."
Ran Xueyi was slightly amused by this and asked again, "Oh, and you didn't try to ask for help?"
There were three men who had just come to their room and they could easily take Ran Xueyi away after calling the police, however, Cindy did nothing to alert them. What was more surprising was that Cindy was left inside the room unattended and had more freedom and time to call anyone or the police to tell what happened here.
But as if she was an extremely obedient servant, she followed along with her order, whih was to behave inside the room.
Somehow, this made Ran Xueyi wonder if there was something wrong in her (Cindy) head?
Cindy directly shook her head and said, "How can I dare?"
Giving the bathroom a sneak glance and saw that Gu Jiao's sorry figure was lying on the cold tiled floor, Cindy shuddered and was relieved that she didn't tell on her to anyone. Who knows if she would be the next one who will lay on the floor like Gu Jiao, right?
Sensing her gaze, Ran Xueyi instructed her, "She's still alive, if you're curious. But you might want to drag her to the bed and take off her wet clothes from her body."
Although Gu Jiao didn't drown to death, she received quite a scare tonight. No one knows if she will be able to get rid of Ran Xueyi's presence in her mind from now on.
Ran Xueyi folded her sleeves that were soaked with water from the bathtub. She made her way to the door when she heard Cindy asking from behind her, "When Gu Jiao wakes up, she might come after you... Aren't you afraid that people will come to ask you about what happened to her?"
Gu Jiao's broken nose was a hard thing to ignore and there was also the risk of being sued by her. The moment she wakes up, she will raise hell to the other person and ask a lawyer to file a case against Ran Xueyi for what happened to her tonight.
Ran Xueyi paused and slightly turned her head before her voice sounded softly inside the room, "Thanks for telling me this... But I am not afraid."
Coming after Gu Jiao was not an abrupt plan at all. Ran Xueyi already considered doing this when Gu Jiao first offended her and saw the report that Wu Qi sent to her before. At that time, she didn't review the information about Gu Jiao very deeply because she (RX) was taken by the video scandal of her (GJ) and Director Zheng. And so, she didn't know much about Gu Jiao's past actions until the moment she decided to call Wu Qi again to obtain the link between her and Zhilan.
Without turning back, Ran Xueyi resumed walking out of the room. The hallway was brightly lit by chandeliers set up against the ceiling and the floor was covered with sapphire colored carpet.
Ran Xueyi entered the elevator and continued to go down the club's entrance. No one stopped her though there were people who stared at her for a glance like moths drawn to the flame.
Just as she stepped outside of the club's entrance, a black lamborghini stopped in front of her. The expensive car looked extremely cool and brand new, like a black panther cutting through the night to stalk its prey and stretch its waist before pouncing.
Ran Xueyi stared at the reflection on the mirror and frowned.
And just as she was about to move away from the expensive car, the tinted window rolled down and a familiar face appeared inside.
A deep chuckle as fine as rum came from the man driving the black car and said, "Have you had enough fun?"
Ran Xueyi's eyes blinked and she couldn't help but release a sigh. She completely forgot to report her whereabouts to Song Yu Han, but he still found her anyway. Probably, it was Wu Qi, who reported what happened on her side again to this big boss.
Ran Xueyi got inside the car and didn't answer his question. She leaned her head against the chair and closed her eyes.
Truth to be told, Ran Xueyi didn't expect that she would be blinded by rage and come after Gu Jiao like this. She usually didn't care about anything or anyone unless they tried to get on her bottom line.
And what Gu Jiao did snapped something inside her.
As Ran Xueyi was deeply thinking about her life choices and how to control her rage a bit more tightly the next time, a warm hand touched her cheeks and caused her eyelids to fly open.
She glanced at Song Yu Han and noticed that the car stopped to the side of the road.
Song Yu Han had long unbuckled the seat belt around his front and shifted on his seat. His gaze deepened when her eyes moved to land on him and his lips curved up into a smile as if a puppy finally received his owner's attention and affection.
Then, the pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed with concern as the fingers that caressed her cheeks lowered and captured her hand that was placed on top of her knees: "Are you feeling alright?"
When Song Yu Han drove his car and saw Ran Xueyi standing in front of the club and entered his car, he could almost instantly sense that something was off with her. He didn't ask her since she had her eyes closed, looking tired and weary, and waiting until he drove away for several minutes in the city.
Finally, the heavy feeling and uneasiness inside his heart couldn't be put down and he had to reach his hand out to her to check on her.
Ran Xueyi tilted her head and instead of answering his question, she asked him: "Do you have candy?"
Not long after, an expensive car that was veiled in the darkness of night like a beautiful predator dancing in the dark sped up on the street and stopped in front of a candy shop. After parking, Song Yu Han made a ridiculous purchase of several bags of candies and put them all in her arms.
"I don't know what flavor you like so I bought each one of the candies inside the shop," Song Yu Han said before he thought of something and a frown appeared on his face, "But if it's not enough, there should be other candy shops in the city we can go to until you find what you like."
Ran Xueyi's eyes twinkled like stars and picked one of the candies in her arms. She tossed the cellophane to her feet and tasted the saccharine and saltiness of the hard candy inside her mouth. The flavor bursted in her tongue and the gloomy feeling and irritation decreased significantly.
"How is it?"
"It's tasty!" she exclaimed.
Seeing the childish reaction and shine of her eyes, Song Yu Han felt that all the workload he received that day was lifted off his shoulders.
He told her, "If it's tasty, you can have more."
Ran Xueyi looked at him and asked, "You don't want to taste some?"
Song Yu Han was about to refuse since he never liked sweets in the first place, but under her expectant and bright eyes, he changed the direction of his mind and said, "Just one then... What do you recommend?"
There were several bags on top of her lap and only one was opened. Ran Xueyi hadn't tasted what the other candies tasted like and was a bit torn apart. She wanted to taste the others too, but since Song Yu Han bought only one for each, if she gave him one, she might not be able to taste what she gave to him.
Song Yu Han watched her patiently choose what to give to her and didn't disturb her. He thought that it was time to drive back home and was about to reach for the belt against when she heard a rustle coming from his side.
He turned towards the sound and slender fingers touched his chin and a hand was put on top of his lap.
Then, without warning, a wet sensation touched his lips and he tasted something very sweet and tasted like orange.
However, before he could carefully savor the taste, the lips that covered his had already pulled away and the sweetness of orange disappeared as quick as it appeared.
Blinking her eyes innocently and expectantly, Ran Xueyi said, "How is it?"
Song Yu Han felt his throat going dry, but he still replied, "I'm not... Give me another for me to get a clear taste of it."
