Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Her Heart Ached
Ti trickled away.
Just within ten ters from her, in the dimly lit security corridor, the end of a cigarette flickered on and off.
He smoked one cigarette after another, and finally, ashes were scattered all over the ground.
…
In the room, Wen Xian held a glass of red wine, pacing back and forth occasionally.
From nine o’clock to ten, then eleven.
She had drunk so much that she was sowhat tipsy, yet he never ca.
When she tipped her head back to finish the last sip of wine, the corners of her bright red lips slightly curled, she was clearly smiling but a touch of indescribable self-mockery bled through.
Heh.
Yes, why would he co? Such an upright man, who takes everything so seriously, how could he co… to her frivolous invitation for a night of passion?
Even if by chance he took a liking to her, in his eyes, she was just toying with him, rely lusting after his body.
But isn’t that the case…
Wen Xian smiled, her expression full of self-ridicule.
Indeed, how could soone as sordid as her ever be worthy of him?
At this mont, she suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved that he didn’t co; otherwise, such a disciplined good man would have been sullied by her.
…
The ink-blue night sky sparkled with stars, changing gradually with the passage of ti.
From the starry deep of night to the horizon where a golden glow began to erge, to the fiery red sun rising behind the snow-capped Bayan Har Mountain, the sunrise gradually beca apparent.
A new day had fully arrived.
The alarm clock went off, five o’clock in the morning.
Wen Xian woke up early, opening her eyes, and since she hadn’t drawn the curtains when she went to sleep, the sky’s red and orange hues intermingled, flooding her room with light.
Looking around the room, with no one else but herself, so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing, she caught her lip in a slight smile, cast her eyes down, ran her hands through her sowhat ssy hair, and got up to wash and freshen up.
The chartered car to Bayan Har Mountain was already waiting downstairs.
Today, she was dressed in a black jacket with a dark coffee-colored turtleneck underneath, slightly covering her fair jaw.
The mountain was expected to be windy and cold, so she purposefully put on a black hat and a Burberry scarf as well.
Wearing dark blue skinny jeans and black Dr. Martens boots, she slung a Fendi backpack over one shoulder and headed out.
The whole person was both beautiful and cool, with an air of sharp and handso poise.
She walked toward the elevator, just walking on, but as she walked, she seed to notice sothing and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Subsequently, her long eyelashes seed to tremble ever so slightly.
And right at that security exit she had just passed, with the flickering green light, a tall figure inside seed to have sensed sothing too and stiffened.
Wen Xian held her breath, stepping back one foot at a ti.
Finally stopping at the security exit, she looked inside through the slightly ajar door.
The ground was littered with burnt-out cigarette stubs, covered in ash.
Seeing this, Wen Xian’s heart clenched suddenly, her scalp started to tingle, fingers trembling faintly.
She stepped forward unexpectedly, opened the door, and there was no one inside, just a flickering cigarette end still alight on the ground.
The sound of footsteps rushing downstairs reached her ears, and Wen Xian’s eyes began to well up painfully, almost without thinking, she shouted, “Lu Xiao—!”
[Nine Bro: I feel for my ‘Lu Dog,’ but you will find out later that he is the ultimate big boss. And here’s a spoiler: they will have that car ride soon. Can you guess where?]
P.S.: Rolling on the floor begging for a five-star rating, my lovelies!!
