The next morning, when Zhang Xiaoshan woke up, Xue Ying was still clinging to him like an octopus, her head buried in his chest. Apparently, she was a person lacking a sense of security. Although Zhang Xiaoshan had forced her last night, to so extent, he had provided Xue Ying, who had never experienced intimacy, with a man’s shoulder to lean on.
For an assassin, a good night’s sleep is an extre luxury, but by Zhang Xiaoshan’s side, she could relax because she knew that he needed her, and that he wouldn’t harm her.
"Why, why are you staring at ?"
Opening her bleary eyes to see Zhang Xiaoshan staring at her made Xue Ying’s cheeks flush with embarrassnt. She hurriedly let go of Zhang Xiaoshan and moved back, keeping a distance between them.
"Heh, you really are quite interesting, woman. Go take a shower first; I’ll go buy you a set of clothes."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled and got up to leave.
"Damn it, sooner or later I’ll kill you to get even."
Xue Ying, looking at the red stain on the white bedsheet, her charming face flushing even redder.
By the ti Zhang Xiaoshan ca back, Xue Ying had already finished washing up and was lying on the bed, wrapped in a towel.
"Put it on."
Zhang Xiaoshan tossed a rather loose tracksuit in front of Xue Ying.
"You’re not allowed to look, turn around."
Xue Ying said with a touch of embarrassnt.
Zhang Xiaoshan nonchalantly said,
"I’ve already done what’s to be done; what’s there to be shy about?"
Saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he ca out, the room was already empty.
"She sure left in a hurry."
Zhang Xiaoshan muttered to himself, and at that mont, his phone rang.
He picked it up.
"Her?"
Looking at the caller ID, Zhang Xiaoshan was montarily surprised.
Lin Yanran!
Ever since completing the Red Sun Grass transaction with Lin Yanran, there had been almost no contact between them.
After hesitating for a mont, he answered the call.
"Dr. Zhang, hello."
On the other end, Lin Yanran’s tone carried a bit of nervousness.
Although she had so dealings with Zhang Xiaoshan, they were rely acquaintances, not even close friends. To ask Zhang Xiaoshan for that kind of favor was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Miss Lin, good morning."
"Good morning, uh, what are you doing now?"
"Just woke up."
"Oh, how’s the weather over there today?"
Lin Yanran kept bringing up various topics.
Her voice was sowhat hesitant, and Zhang Xiaoshan, clever as he was, imdiately sensed sothing was off.
So he directly said to Lin Yanran,
"Miss Lin, if there’s anything you need my help with, you can just tell . I’ll do my best to help if I can."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan say this, Lin Yanran stopped beating around the bush.
"Yes, there is sothing I need your help with."
"Oh? Let’s hear it."
"Well, it’s better to talk about it in person. It can’t be clearly explained over the phone. Are you in White Dragon Village now?"
"No, I’m in Xijing."
"Ah, in Xijing!"
Lin Yanran’s tone imdiately beca excited.
Isn’t this a godsend?
"Then, have you had lunch yet? Can I invite you to lunch?"
"We’ll talk when we et."
Lin Yanran’s tone was a bit urgent.
Zhang Xiaoshan thought for a mont; he didn’t seem to have anything special to do today, so he responded.
"Alright then, you set the place, and I’ll co to you later."
"Okay, then I’ll hang up."
Lin Yanran, as if worried Zhang Xiaoshan might change his mind, hurriedly ended the call and imdiately sent him a location via WeChat.
"Oh my God, I’m so nervous. How am I going to bring this up to him?"
"Forget it, when we et, he surely won’t be so heartless as to not help , right?"
"Oh my God, what if I ask him and he rejects ? How embarrassing would that be?"
"No, I have to dress up nicely so he can’t refuse ."
Lin Yanran began to dress herself with care.
...
Around two o’clock in the afternoon!
Near the famous bell tower in Xijing City, next to the window of a high-end Chinese restaurant.
From here, one could overlook the busiest streets of the city.
A middle-aged lady dressed in an erald cheongsam and a young woman with delicate features wearing a cream-colored coat were sitting together.
It was Lin Yanran and her mother.
"It’s already two, why isn’t your bumpkin boyfriend here yet? Could it be that he got lost on his first trip to the city?"
Mrs. Lin complained with so dissatisfaction.
Apart from arranging to et Zhang Xiaoshan, she had also set up a blind date for Lin Yanran with a suitor recomnded by the family,
Scheduled for two-thirty.
She deliberately set the tis close together, hoping that Zhang Xiaoshan would bump into the rich second generation, harshly denting his pride, and encouraging Zhang Xiaoshan to leave her daughter.
Lin Yanran glanced at her watch and was also sowhat anxious.
"Mom, don’t speak so harshly. Perhaps there’s a traffic jam. You sit and wait, I’ll go check."
Lin Yanran stood up, grabbed her small handbag, and walked downstairs.
She wore a cream-colored coat on the outside and a black lining inside, with black skinny jeans – the high-waisted kind – and a pair of black boots. Her hair was tied up in a bun. Her figure was already fantastic, but this outfit made her look even more slender and outstanding.
She attracted quite a few glances along the way.
Just as she exited the Chinese restaurant, a BMW 740 sedan stopped in front of her.
"What a beautiful chick."
A young man with a slicked-back hairdo and glasses got out of the car, his gaze intensely fixed on Lin Yanran, filled with an unabashed predatory look.
Lin Yanran, feeling uncomfortable under his stare, walked around the car, planning to leave.
But the man did not seem willing to let Lin Yanran go, quickly followed her, and blocked her path.
"Beauty, I an no harm, let’s be friends."
"I’m sorry, I’m not interested."
Lin Yanran sidestepped, eager to leave.
The man was not having it.
"Fuck, am I giving you too much face?"
The man forcefully grabbed Lin Yanran’s arm.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yanran instinctively threw off the man’s hand and took two steps back.
"You fucking looking for a beating, daring to shove our young master?"
A bodyguard rushed up, intending to lay hands on Lin Yanran.
"Forget it."
The young man stepped forward, stopped his subordinate, then squinted at Lin Yanran, saying,
"I think you’re pretty, so I wanted us to be friends. Accompany on a vacation to Hainan for a week, I’ll give you a hundred thousand yuan."
"Consider it a bargain."
"Shaless."
The man’s words caused Lin Yanran’s beautiful eyes to chill, speaking with extre loathing.
"I don’t need money, keep your distance from ."
"Heh, I like your spirit. But let’s be real, why resist money? If you change your mind, you can call ."
The young man took a card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yanran, but she slapped it away.
"Go away."
After speaking, Lin Yanran walked away without looking back.
"Young master, should we get tough?" the bodyguard asked.
The young man hesitated for a mont before saying,
"Forget it, more important matters await. Today’s blind date is specially arranged by my grandfather, and it would be troubleso if things go south. We’ll talk about this another ti."
With that, the young man walked into the Chinese restaurant.
