Concubine Yu looked at Feng Lingxue in shock. Her beautiful eyes shone with maternal love and warmth.
At this moment two underlings ran over. “Feng Lingxue, Young Master just called. He’s drinking with a few other friends at a bar and wants you to go and dance for them.”
Feng Lingxue stood up. “Alright, I’ll go, but let me change first.”
“This…”
“There’s no way I can escape. My clothes are dirty, and there’s no way I can dance in them. I want to clean myself up.”
The two underlings looked at each other. “Alright, but make it quick.”
Feng Lingxue lowered her eyes to look at Concubine Yu. “Madam, it’s cold outside. Let the maids bring you back to your room. I hope to see you again.”
With that, Feng Lingxue left.
Concubine Yu looked at her retreating figure. She soon disappeared into the dark, looking thin and weak. The two maids came over to push her back. This time, she didn’t resist and let them take her back.
…
In the room.
Feng Lingxue tidied herself up and sat at the dresser, looking at her face.
She should stop feeling dispirited.
She had seen her fate clearly tonight.
As soon as she had told the story of her and Brother Ying in such a calm voice, she had bid the past goodbye.
Mu Mu was still waiting for her. Even if she was just a firework, she was going to have her moment of glory.
Tonight at the bar was her opportunity to sneak out and go to the hospital to look for her father, the North Duke. She had to find out where Mu Mu was.
Don’t be afraid, Mu Mu.
Mommy is coming!
…
At the Snow Mountain Residence.
All the guests were here. Shi Xiaoxiao walked up the stairs in her high heels and knocked on the master bedroom door.
“Come in.” A calm and deep voice called out from the inside.
Shi Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked in. The first thing she saw was a tall figure standing in the room. Xuan Ying stood in front of the tall windows with one hand in his pocket. The lights of Country A lay at his feet outside the window. He was cold and kingly.
Walking forward, Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him adoringly and reached out and hugged him from the back.
“Ying, let me stay over tonight. It’s our engagement night,” she said coyly.
Xuan Ying neither spoke nor turned around.
“Ying, did you hear what I said?”
Shi Xiaoxiao smiled and walked forward and saw the piece of candy he was playing with in his other hand.
It was the candy Feng Lingxue had dropped.
She didn’t know when it had ended up in his palms. It seemed like he had been playing with it for a long time. Seeing it, Shi Xiaoxiao’s expression turned ugly. Feng Lingxue again!
Reaching out, she snatched the candy away from him.
Xuan Ying lifted his eyes lightly. His black, glassy eyes landed on Shi Xiaoxiao’s pretty face and he slowly raised his eyebrows.
He was expressionless, but when he spoke, his voice was low and unhappy. “Give it back.”
Three simple words, yet they were absolutely devoid of warmth. He was also distracted throughout today’s engagement ceremony.
Shi Xiaoxiao suppressed the burning feelings of jealousy rising in her and smiled slyly. “Ying, come over if you want the candy.”
She put the candy between her teeth. Her lips were painted an intense red and she parted her lips and looked at Xuan Ying charmingly.
Doing this in the middle of the night in his room, she was basically tempting him.
She wanted Xuan Ying to come over.
Xuan Ying looked at her and spat out two words. “Dirty.”
What?
Shi Xiaoxiao’s smile froze. Did he just call her… dirty? Because she had put the candy in her mouth?
He had poured cold water all over her efforts to seduce him.
“Ying, you…”
“You can eat it if you like it that much.” Xuan Ying turned away silently and walked to the door. “Oh that’s right, I forgot to tell you. I picked that piece of candy up from the floor. It’s pretty dirty.”
And with that, he left.
Shi Xiaoxiao stood frozen to the ground. She couldn’t decide whether to spit out the candy or not.
…
In the study room.
His right-hand man Ah Zhou pushed open the door and entered. “Master.”
Xuan Ying leaned lazily against the sofa and replied softly. “Hm?”
“Xuan Mu is going to the bar with a few of the other heirs to drink. Miss Feng has been called there as well.”
Xuan Ying pressed his thin lips together. “Let’s go.”
“Master, where to?”
“The bar.”
…
In the bar.
Xuan Mu and a few other rich heirs sat at the bar drinking. Xuan Mu pushed Feng Lingxue into the arms of another heir and barked out, “Quick, pour them some wine!”
Feng Lingxue fell into one of the heir’s laps. A few thick fingers reach over to pinch her waist and caress her face. Everyone laughed raucously. “Even though your face is ruined, your skin is still so soft. You’re really one in a million!”
“Of course, she’s the top hostess in Ah Jiao’s Room, Feng Lingxue!”
“I think she’s even sweeter in bed.”
Xuan Mu was already half-drunk. “You know what? I’ll give her to you tonight. You can do whatever you want with her!”
The heirs all whistled in excitement and there were catcalls all around. Amongst the ruckus, Feng Lingxue sat on the Young Master Zheng’s lap without resistance. She reached out to take the wine jug, poured it into the wine glasses and brought it to his lips for him to savor.
Young Master Zheng’s eyes lit up and he parted his lips quickly to drink. At this moment, Feng Lingxue’s fingers slipped and the wine splashed onto Young Master Zheng’s pants.
“I’m so sorry, I’ll wipe it off for you right now.” Feng Lingxue bit her red lips with her white teeth and reached out to wipe his pants.
Young Master Zheng could feel his blood pumping hard. It was obvious that Feng Lingxue was seducing him. He reached out to hug her and said, “Come, give me a kiss.”
Feng Lingxue dodged, her delicate body twisting on his lap, before saying softly, “I don’t like these people. I only like you, so bring me out of here, and I’ll…”
Bring her out of here?
Young Master Zheng hesitated. They had agreed to play with Feng Lingxue together, but he did want to have Feng Lingxue to himself. He was tempted but afraid to offend his friends.
At this moment, with a loud bang, the door to the bar opened.
Everyone turned to look. The cold air from the outside blasted in. A group of black-clad bodyguards stood to both sides of the door, and a tall figure wearing thick black military boots entered.
Xuan Ying.
Feng Lingxue’s eyelashes quivered. She hadn’t expected him to come. What was he doing here? It was his engagement night tonight. Why was he not with Shi Xiaoxiao?
But she retracted her gaze quickly. She no longer had anything to do with him.
The bar owner came over personally to bring Xuan Ying to the private VIP room.
