Su Yan was taking photos for them offstage .
Yan Rusheng was standing in front of the crowd, and Xuxu was standing right beside her . At that moment, Su Yue felt like the happiest girl in the world .
A radiant smile framed her small face, like the rising sun—fresh and full of life and vitality .
‘It must be the strong alcohol taking a toll on me . That must be it . ’
Ming Ansheng hurriedly retracted his gaze . Fragments of all the times he had spent with Su Yue flooded his mind . Especially the time when she clung on to him for her dear life after he had saved her from the hands of that bunch of crooks .
His body quickly temperature rose . He raised his wine glass, finishing his drink in one gulp . He stood up, then told Jiang Zhuoheng, “I need to rest . I’ll make my way back to the room first . ”
Immediately, he made a beeline to the door of the main lobby .
Xuxu had chosen their rooms . The few of them, who were well-acquainted, had rooms either adjacent to or opposite to each other .
Ming Ansheng’s room was opposite Lu Yinan’s . As he walked towards his room, he took out his room card . Subconsciously, he glanced over at Lu Yinan’s room . He frowned in uncertainty .
Lu Yinan’s room door was ajar . He walked over and glanced inside .
‘Why did this fellow leave his door open?’
The room was quiet . He took a few steps in, and his gaze swept through the suite of rooms, including the washroom . But there was no sign of Lu Yinan .
‘Could he have gone to the main lobby?’
‘Forget it, leave him alone . ’ He had originally planned to close the door for Lu Yinan if he found him sleeping .
Ming Ansheng shook his head, walking out of Lu Yinan’s room and into his own .
He opened and closed his room door .
He went straight for the bed, sprawling onto it . He closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind .
He didn’t expect to see Su Yue’s cute and dainty figure the moment he closed his eyes .
His body’s reaction to her became stronger and stronger .
His heart was pounding wildly, and he just couldn’t calm down .
And it felt like this time, his body’s reaction wouldn’t just go away by waiting it out .
Troubled, Ming Ansheng sat up . There was a box of cigarettes and a lighter on the bedside drawer . Opening the box, he retrieved a cigarette and lighted it . He walked to the window, drew the curtains, opened the windows, letting the cool night breeze enter the room, brushing past him .
However, it wasn’t of any damn use .
He thought that it must have been because he hadn’t fulfilled his needs for too long .
Immediately, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, placing it against his ear .
Melodious ringtone flooded his ears . The call was answered on the first ring . A gentle and lovely female voice answered .
“Young Master Ming . ”
“Hongcheng Hotel, Room 610,” Ming Ansheng said coldly .
From how she sounded, the female on the other end definitely became excited .
“Yes, Young Master Ming, please wait a moment, I’ll immediately…”
Ming Ansheng hung up without waiting for her to finish .
He looked outside the window, his eyes full of darkness and mixed feelings .
‘Love? What is love? When your business is collapsing and in a tottering position, can love save you?’
‘I don’t care how many girls you find outside . But I will never allow you to marry any girl that you would bring home . ’
‘You want to call off the marriage? Over my dead body!’
Ming Ansheng took a deep whiff of the cigarette . All the conflicted feelings in his eyes were replaced with a blazing coldness, as though covered with a layer of frost .
‘Ming Ansheng, you can only play . You can’t love . ’
The car was long ready and the chauffeur was already waiting by the main lobby entrance . Wen Xuxu and Su Yue sent Bai Jing off .
