Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Su Wanwan went to the bathroom, her head felt giddy. Her vision was blurry, and she could not see anything clearly at all.
After fumbling with the doorknob, she saw someone sitting on the sofa in front of her.
Was that Mo Weiyi?
She walked towards the person absently. As she was approaching them, she suddenly tripped over the raised carpet and fell forwards.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Instead, she could smell the faint scent of tobacco, mixed with the mellow aroma of red wine.
Su Wanwan tried her best to open her eyes. As she followed the fragrance, she saw a glass of red wine on the table in front of her.
“Do you want to drink?” A low and gentle voice sounded, as though hypnotizing her.
Su Wanwan nodded blankly.
The glass of red wine was lifted off the table and held in front of her.
The fragrance of the red wine was deliciously overwhelming.
Su Wanwan leaned forward eagerly but before she could even touch the glass, Huo Jingshen had already taken it back and downed the entire glass of red wine in front of her.
Su Wanwan stared at him in disbelief.
Why was this person like this?
Su Wanwan looked at him imploringly, her large eyes wide in despair.
Huo Jingshen looked at her contemplatively.
He had lived for thirty years, and there had been no shortage of outstanding and beautiful women. There had been various types of women around him, but none of them could arouse his interest at all.
Since he was too pure-hearted and did not have much desire, his brothers constantly made fun of him, asking if he had any unspeakable problems in certain aspects.
Sometimes, he even doubted himself.
It was only until he met Su Wanwan at the airport that he knew the truth.
The woman had easily stirred up his emotions, twice in a row in just half a day. She even took the initiative to act like an alluring woman in the hospital today. Although her technique was very poor and she seemed to be very inexperienced, it made her even more unforgettable in his mind.
He raised his hand and gripped her pointed chin as he took a closer look at her.
The girl had a small, oval face with very delicate facial features. She was wearing very light makeup, and coupled with the effect of the alcohol, her almond-shaped eyes were wide and glazed, making her look very innocent and coquettish.
She was obviously still very young, but she had a sultry charm about her. It might have been because of the tiny peach blossom mole under her right eyelid, like the finishing touch to a beautiful painting.
Ever since he started working in the industry, he had made asset investments for more than ten years, and he has also invested in several projects with amazing profits. Now, was he really going to invest his energy in this young girl?
Huo Jingshen asked, “Do you want to go upstairs?”
Su Wanwan did not reply.
In his eyes, acquiescence was tantamount to consent.
Huo Jingshen did not hesitate anymore and quickly stood up as he took her away.
***
In another private room.
Mo Weiyi finally returned to the private room after she was done with her phone call, only to find out that there was no one in the room.
Su Wanwan was not in the washroom or corridor either.
Could it be that she had already gone home?
Impossible! Su Wanwan would never leave without saying goodbye.
There were no clues in the private room at all, so Mo Weiyi could only sit down and wait for her. As time passed by, Mo Weiyi called the Su family villa, only to hear the servant say that Su Wanwan had not come back home.
Mo Weiyi could not wait any longer. She stood up and rushed outside before walking along the corridor, opening each of the private room doors to check inside. Very soon, Mo Weiyi had been through most of the rooms on the entire sixth floor, causing a lot of chaos along the way.
Mo Weiyi opened another door, and the men and women inside the private room stared at her with wide eyes. Right after that, there was the sound of footsteps behind her.
“Miss Mo.”
It was the manager of Guidi and there were a few security guards behind him.
He bowed slightly, smiling and apologizing to the guests. As soon as the door was closed, the expression on his face became very solemn as he said, “Miss Mo, a customer complained that you were trespassing in their room.”
“Can’t I look for someone? My friend is missing!” Mo Weiyi wanted to turn around and open the room door opposite her, but the security guards quickly stopped her.
“Step aside!”
“Miss Mo, you know the rules, so please do not make things difficult for us.” The manager was already breaking out into a cold sweat.
He knew that he could not afford to offend the daughter of the Mo Group, but he could not afford to offend so many other customers too.
As the security guards stood in front of her to block her way, Mo Weiyi felt anxious and wanted to cry.
Guidi had been operating in Nanchang for slightly more than a year. Because of its huge capital investment and its prime location, it had captured the attention of many high-end customers. The private club had quickly became the number one entertainment establishment in Nanchang.
Aside from the reasons mentioned above, the reason why Mo Weiyi liked to secretly come here was because Guidi was not an industry under the Mo Group. Therefore, nobody would be keeping an eye on her and it would naturally be more difficult for Xiao Yebai to find out that she was here.
However, Mo Weiyi was filled with regret at that moment.
She was Mo Weiyi, and nine out of ten people knew that she was the princess of the Mo family. However, Su Wanwan had just returned to China. Aside from some relatives and close friends, there were very few people in Nanchang who would know of her identity at all. Mo Weiyi could not help but wonder if someone with bad intentions had already done something to Su Wanwan. After all, Su Wanwan was really very beautiful.
Those who came here to spend were mostly the rich and powerful second-generation and third-generation heirs. Although Mo Weiyi was generally not involved in the circle and its games, it did not mean that she did not understand how it worked. It was one of the things she had been considering when she refused to allow Su Wanwan to drink earlier. Unexpectedly, she had actually lost Su Wanwan now.
The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more she could not help but feel afraid…
