Bo Jiu was still thinking about her dormitory stay, hence, she hadn't noticed the interaction between Xue Yaoyao and Jiang Zu . But when she heard her speak, she asked warmly, "Do you need me to accompany you? The nightclub can be dangerous sometimes . "
"It's alright, I'll be fine alone . " Xue Yaoyao smiled . While her heart softened and her eyes were bright, Jiang Zuo's eyes dimmed .
He didn't say much . Instead, he acted as though he hadn't heard their conversation . He downed the alcohol in his cup and shifted his legs so that Xue Yaoyao could pass .
After less than a minute, he stood up and raised his glass towards Qin Mo . "I still have friends over at the other side, you guys enjoy yourself . "
Qin Mo eyed Jiang Zuo, some matters crystal clear, but he wasn't one to interfere in someone else's relationship, especially since he knew him so well . Hence, he finished off with a faint "Mmh" .
Xue Yaoyao stood by the doorway . She wasn't dressed like the other girls in the club and could be referred to as being extremely conservative .
But after she had slimmed down, she looked fairer than before and her eyes appeared larger . With her hair tied up high, her exposed neck looked pale and slender from the back .
It made others curious about her appearance .
Some of the patrons passed her, one of which was dressed rather maturely . When he caught sight of Xue Yaoyao, his eyes lit up .
He walked over, his voice hushed and features sharp . "Alone?"
As the club wasn't well illuminated, Xue Yaoyao turned towards the voice .
The man's eyes deepened . "It's you . "

Xue Yaoyao didn't recognize him . Confusion was tainting her eyes . "You are?"
"I know your manager, Feng . " He had a company as well and since he was doing network configuration, he was rather acquainted with esports .
He hadn't recognized her because of the photos sent over from his employees, but because of her story .
As a professional esports player, Xue Yaoyao held another layer of attraction . She was an ordinary girl just like many out there, but yet she managed to turn into a professional esports player who is loved by many .
Moreover, after she had successfully slimmed down, she had a great story to tell .
After reading her details, he was convinced that if all the girls in the world were this hardworking, many would have ended up differently .
The man smiled, his original intentions on playing turning into something more serious . "Alright, enough about me, what are you doing here alone? A club isn't a safe place . "
Just as she was about to say something, a familiar deep voice replied, "Boss Ling, you seem to be enjoying yourself . I never knew you were acquainted with my friend . "
Xue Yaoyao didn't have to turn to know who the voice belonged to .
She hadn't kept her promise, hence, there was hostility tinged with chilliness in his voice .
"A friend of Boss Jiang?" The man arched a brow as he chuckled . "Doesn't look like it . "
Jiang Zuo had never acted in such a manner . Even though his lips were curved up, there wasn't a hint of laughter . "Why doesn't it look like it?" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"The friends around Boss Jiang are…" He hesitated slightly before continuing, "She doesn't look like the kind . "
Jiang Zuo glanced over at Xue Yaoyao, who was behind him . Due to the distance, his voice seemed cold . "Boss Ling, don't judge a book by it's cover . "
As the phrase held a deeper meaning, the man frowned, prepared to defend Xue Yaoyao .
Jiang Zuo held onto her, his left hand caressing her wrist . His lips lifted into a polite and formal smile which was clouded with malice . "We have something to talk about . Boss Ling, please . "
Before he could say anything, Jiang Zuo tugged her to the walkway at the side while the bodyguards stood up, blocking the passageway .
Since this was Jiang Zuo's club, there were certain restricted areas prepared specifically for him .
The walkway was covered with red carpeting and at the end was a luxurious room . The room was usually empty and was made specifically for Jiang Zuo to rest .
Hence, there weren't many people around besides a few officials and wealthy young masters . When they caught sight of Jiang Zuo holding someone's hand, they assumed it would be a beauty . The aroused expressions on their faces were obvious .
"Hey, Young Master Jiang has changed his taste . Who is she to Young Master Jiang to have sent her up personally?"
A young man downed his alcohol as he rested his other hand on a woman's shoulder . He turned, trying to catch a glimpse of Xue Yaoyao's appearance .
Jiang Zuo moved, keeping her out of sight as he teased, "What's so good about a girl? Mind your own business, I have something to do here . "
"What business do you have at this hour?" He chuckled merrily . "Alright, alright, I understand, I wouldn't hold you any longer . Have fun . "
"Alright, get lost . " Jiang Zuo had always acted this way in front of others ━ a young master's vibe mixed with a ruffian's aura .

Xue Yaoyao had an idea what he treated her as, but she didn't retaliate because with her appearance, they wouldn't be able to see her expression anyways .
Xue Yaoyao just wished that no one would recognize her as she didn't wish to taint Supreme Alliance's name .
Jiang Zuo didn't seem willing for others to know their relationship either or he wouldn't have shielded her face and said those things .
His attitude towards her hadn't changed much . His dislike had probably started long ago, but back then, he hadn't felt a need to pay much attention to a girl with wishful thinking . Back then, she hadn't been hovering around him much and later when their dispute had escalated, she sort of understood his hatred . He had once told her about how he was upset because Uncle Jiang had forgotten about his mother and that he could only express his unhappiness in front of her . No one would have expected her mother to become the woman Uncle Jiang married .
He probably saw her and her mother as gold diggers .
Ever since that day, he had always looked at her with a chilly stare which seemed to pierce through her bones just like right now .
After entering the luxurious room, Jiang Zuo pushed her onto the sofa before bending down . His voice was ringing in her ears . "I underestimated your tactics . Is that Young Master Fu no longer important to you? Have you changed to someone else?"
Xue Yaoyao clenched her fists . "This has nothing to do with His Highness Jiu!"
Jiang Zuo's gaze hardened . "You cherish him that much? Heh, how do you think he will see you if he finds out about your true colors . "
Xue Yaoyao met his eyes firmly . "I have always believed that the contract is between the two of us . At the beginning, we already promised to keep it a secret or I wouldn't have agreed to the proposal . "
"Yes, that is right . " Jiang Zuo smirked, his fingers pinching onto her jaw . He bit down on her lips, not a hint of warmth could be felt when their lips collided . "But don't forget who begged me to agree to this proposal . "
Xue Yaoyao didn't have the rights to retort his statement .
"If Young Master Fu was to find out about what you have done, would he be moved by your actions or would he feel the same way I did at the beginning, like you are pestering him?" Jiang Zuo's fingers slid down her chin, slipping into her clothes . "It's a pity though, regardless of who you pester, the results are never satisfactory . "
A chilling sensation spread across her collarbone, sending a shock through her . She gripped her fingers tight, her brows furrowed .
Jiang Zuo didn't like the look on her face because it seemed as though she was suppressing herself and hadn't fully accepted him .
Chilliness clouded his eyes . "What is it? You aren't even willing to let me touch you anymore?"
Xue Yaoyao knew if she wasn't willing, Jiang Zuo would never push on with the next step .
He had already stopped even though his breathe hovered above her and the feeling of his lips could still be felt . At the very least, the hands which were inching towards her tenderness had stopped .
She managed to retain her sanity for a rational conversation .
"I saw you with a really pretty woman just now . " That was what she wanted to say .
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zuo seemed to have calmed down, his lips curving up as he watched her with his mesmerizing eyes which seemed playful yet mocking . "Jealous?"
That was when she realized that he seemed to have misunderstood, hence, she immediately explained, "No, that wasn't what I meant . Just like when we agreed to the proposal, you have to let me know if you have someone you like so that we can end this relationship . If that isn't done, someone was bound to be heard . Besides, once you have found someone you like, you will probably hate doing that with me . "
Somehow, he seemed colder than before . "I don't need your reminder on such matters . Just as you have said, I would never want to touch you if I have someone I like . I'll let you know when it happens . "
"That's good," Xue Yaoyao replied softly before breaking into a smile which looked as though a burden was lifted off her shoulders .
In contrast, Jiang Zuo wasn't the least bit pleased . He retracted his hand and turned to lit a cigarette, holding it between two fingers . "Aren't you being too self-entitled?"
