Chapter 14: Chapter 14 The Half-Concealed Allure, Provocatively Tempting~
Ning Yichu still maintained the motion of blow-drying her clothes when she unexpectedly caught sight of the handso man behind her. Realizing her current disheveled state, she panicked and covered her chest, her cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassnt!
Weren’t they saying the boss was in a eting? How co he’s suddenly returned!
The deep gaze of Mo Baiyou shifted away from the mirror, but her smooth white back was deeply imprinted in his vision, along with her slim and sexy figure that didn’t look at all like soone who had given birth to a child.
He turned his back to Ning Yichu, his thin lips curving slightly, “Miss, it seems you’ve walked into the wrong place.”
In a flash, Ning Yichu quickly put her wet clothes back on, grinding her teeth, “I’m sorry, I just got my clothes dirty and had no choice but to borrow your break room!”
Hearing the rustling sound, the man slowly turned around and saw Ning Yichu had put on her wet clothes, which clung to her skin in a sticky cover yet revealing manner.
...
Being stared at in such a way, cold and yet thrilling against her skin, Ning Yichu hung her head to hide the awkward expression on her face, “I’ll leave imdiately; sorry for the disturbance.”
“Just a mont,” the man suddenly spoke, halting her.
Ning Yichu’s feet were already poised to step out, she turned around perplexed, looking at him—surely he wasn’t going to trouble her further? With this thought, she asked with trepidation, “Is there sothing else?”
“You’re sure you want to go out looking like that? It might really affect your image.”
Ning Yichu didn’t want to, but the thought of brazenly continuing to impose was out of the question. The next instant, she heard the man’s pleasant voice say, “I have a clean coat here; if you don’t mind, you can borrow it and wear it for a while.”
Mo Baiyou took off his cal-colored suit coat, hung it on the hook, then strode out of the break room.
Ning Yichu stood dumbfounded, not expecting such kindness from a stranger.
Checking the ti, only five minutes were left; she had no choice but to wear the man’s coat and quickly returned to the eting room.
The coat seed to still carry a hint of the man’s fiery body heat, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of bergamot.
When it was her turn for the interview, she pushed open the office door and walked in.
Upon seating herself, several interviewers stood up as if to welco her arrival.
Ning Yichu thought they were impressed by her resu from Europe.
Then she heard an interviewer ask anxiously, “Lady Ning, we’re delighted that you could co to Beiji for the interview. May I ask about your coat…”
“I accidentally got my shirt wet, and luckily a kind person lent this coat.”
The interviewers exchanged discreet glances; that coat was clearly on the boss earlier that morning, a privately tailored brand worth over a hundred thousand—how could it be just casually lent out?
There were rumors internally that Lady Ning was a Jade Sculptor highly regarded by the boss…
“We all know that Lady Ning has a remarkable reputation in the Jade Carving Industry in Europe, having won every award possible, and we are honored to extend an invite to Lady Ning…”
Ning Yichu had always taken jade sculpture design commissions as a freelancer, handling all the interviewer’s questions with ease.
After the talk, the interviewers were very pleased, “Lady Ning, you are a cutting-edge designer in the Jade Carving Industry, very much in line with the boss’s expectations. If there are no issues, when would you be able to start?”
Ning Yichu was surprised by their efficiency—her interview seed like a re formality.
“I’ve just returned to the country and have so personal matters to attend to, I estimate by the end of the month.”
“No problem, Beiji looks forward to welcoming you at any ti.”
The interviewers handed her the contract, and Ning Yichu saw the offer was over twice what she had envisioned. Needing a stable job urgently, she didn’t hesitate and signed imdiately.
The interviewer sighed with relief after she signed her na and politely asked if she wanted to go for a walk nearby.
Ning Yichu was about to agree, when Fan Yuke called.
Through the receiver, her voice sounded off, as if she was suppressing sothing, “Chu Chu, I… I seem to have gotten into trouble. Can you co and pick up?”
Fan Yuke mingled in the entertainnt industry, which was a mix of dragons and snakes, and Ning Yichu was very worried that her carefree nature would make her an easy target to be taken advantage of without her knowledge.
She imdiately said, “Send the address, I’m coming over now.”
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yichu hailed a taxi and rushed to the private room at the club where Fan Yuke was, only to be t with a heavy atmosphere upon arrival.
The large private room was filled with a strong odor of tobacco and alcohol, but it wasn’t the usual lively scene; instead, it was in a state of disarray.
A faint odor of blood lingered in the air, and following the scent to its source, Ning Yichu’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest when she saw Fan Yuke holding a broken liquor bottle pointed at several n opposite her.
The man leading the group was a bald man, clutching at his bleeding forehead, his face clouded with gloom.
It was clear without guessing; Fan Yuke was the one who had smashed the bald man’s head.
Fan Yuke’s beautiful, doll-like face was swollen, and although she looked serious, the slight tremor in her hands betrayed her fear…
Ning Yichu deliberately knocked on the door, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Oh, another one has co?” the bald man glared at Ning Yichu with malice. The eyes of the other n and won in the room on Ning Yichu were like those of wolves looking at a lamb that had fallen into their den.
Ning Yichu quickly walked to Fan Yuke’s side, gently patting her shoulder and cooing, “It’s okay now, give the bottle.”
Fan Yuke’s tense nerves seed to find an outlet all at once, “Chu Chu…”
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Ning Yichu slowly took the bottle from her hand.
Fan Yuke’s legs went weak, “Sob, I didn’t an to do it just now, did you call the police? I had just separated from my agent when these guys dragged in here, and they even said they wanted to chop into pieces…”
“Little sister, do you even know how to speak? How is that dragging? We just invited you in for a sit-down!”
“Yeah, you dress so sexy and co to a place like this; it’s clear you’re looking for n to play with, right? We are just fulfilling your wishes!”
Ning Yichu clenched the bottle in her hand. Yuke’s figure was sexy and alluring, and whatever she wore seed like a temptation, but that didn’t an she was a bad girl!
But as they were in the bald man’s territory, she had no choice but to say, “Sorry, my friend drank too much, it really wasn’t intentional. Let’s do this, we’ll pay for the dical expenses, and for the emotional distress, we will also compensate.”
Upon hearing this, the bald man suddenly burst into laughter, malevolent and chilling, “You think you can settle this with money? Guys, do I look like I’m short on cash?”
The others laughed uproariously, “No shortage.”
“What do you want, then?” Ning Yichu gritted her teeth.
“Ha-ha, of course, you girls need to give us a good ti, and if we’re happy, naturally this matter will be wiped clean…” the bald man sniggered.
Ning Yichu realized these people were not to be trifled with and was no longer polite, “I’ve already called the police; they will arrive in ten minutes.”
The bald man didn’t speak, just squinted his eyes at her like a venomous snake.
Soone had approached them, offering a million for a video of Ning Yichu ssing around with them, a piece of fat so big it was impossible to spit out now that it had reached their lips.
