The few bodyguards, who were dressed in black, avoided the incoming waste bin with agile actions the moment they stepped out of the elevator.
One of them even stretched out his feet and stepped onto the rolling waste bin.
He swept a piercing gaze toward Nian Xiaomu and said, “Who is this? Get hold of her!”
“… Wait, wait a minute! I was merely out to dispose of my rubbish and accidentally knocked into the waste bin. I didn’t do it on purpose!” Seeing that the bodyguard was advancing toward her, she was so intimidated that she plastered her body against the corner of the wall and attempted to explain herself.
“What rubbish? There is obviously nothing in your hands!” The head of the bodyguards had already walked to Nian Xiaomu as he took a glance at her empty hands.
“…”
Disposing of birth control articles…
It would be a little awkward to explain such an action.
Furthermore, there were waste bins in all the rooms of the hotel. As such, she felt that the bodyguard before her would not believe that she would make such a great effort to dispose of a few condoms.
The other party had already taken the accidental toppling of the waste bin just now as a form of attack.
And now, he was staring at her vigilantly, as if she was a bad person.
It would be a troublesome affair if he really made a police report…
“I am really out to dispose of my rubbish. My rubbish is already in the waste bin, so obviously I don’t have anything in my hands now. Furthermore, I had wanted to make way for you all as you suddenly emerged from the elevator, and that was how I accidentally pushed the waste bin over. Don’t you guys try to ill reward a person’s kindness!”
Nian Xiaomu pulled out the room card out of her pocket as she spoke.
As she was about to say that she was a hotel guest at the same level and that she wasn’t a bad person, a very gentle voice suddenly rang beside her ears.
“Shift away, everyone.”
The three simple words were filled with a sense of alienation and detachment.
When the bodyguards, who were standing in front of Nian Xiaomu heard this, a look of hesitation flashed past their faces. However, they followed the instruction in the end and retreated to the side.
It was only then that Nian Xiaomu finally saw the person in the middle who had been tightly surrounded by bodyguards earlier on…
He had solid facial features with a slightly narrow pair of eyes.
Armed with a high nose bridge, he looked just like a sculpture.
Even though his lips were pursed, the corners were slightly curved upward and it made one feel at ease looking at him…
He possessed all the caliber of a handsome man despite looking less charming than Yu Yuehan!
Not a single detail was neglected in his overall appearance as he was clad in a dashing gray suit with a head of neatly combed hair.
He seemed like a very composed man even though he appeared to be very young.
He has so many bodyguards around to protect him. Who is he?
Both Nian Xiaomu and the person in front of her were studying each other at the same time.
The man’s expression changed after he saw her face clearly. Very quickly, he collected the emotions beneath his eyes and said indifferently, “My bodyguards are too keyed up, I hope they did not scare you.”
The bodyguard beside the man was about to say something when he had finished his sentence, however, he held back abruptly after the man turned around and cast a glance at him.
After he had politely acknowledged Nian Xiaomu with a nod, the man took a step out and got ready to leave.
For some reason, a sense of familiarity emerged in Nian Xiaomu’s mind at the very moment he turned around and she could not help but call out.
“My name is Nian Xiaomu, so sorry to have disturbed you. Are you here for the business conference as well? If there’s a chance, I would like to treat you to a drink as an apology.”
“…”
The man stopped in his tracks.
Turning his body sideways, he stared in her direction and met her animated eyes. With a pair of smiling eyes, he considered it for a mere second before he rejected her coldly.
“I don’t have the time.”
Then, the man got ready to leave under the tight protection of the bodyguards.
When he noticed Nian Xiaomu hanging her head low and appeared to be a little disappointed, he added on, “Mo Yongheng.”
“What?” Nian Xiaomu felt slightly taken aback.
Mo Yongheng replied, “My name.”
