An Xin readily agreed and arranged to meet her at a bar.
The meeting at the bar was because An Xin said the bar had just opened, owned by her friend, and she was going to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
An Ruo had no objection to the meeting place.
The next day, at six in the evening, she had dinner and left the house without telling anyone where she was going.
Arriving at the bar An Xin mentioned, An Ruo gave her a call, An Xin gave her the private room number, and told her to go in by herself.
The bar was not very crowded, but the light was dim, and An Ruo had always disliked such flashy and licentious places. However, she knew that people nowadays loved to frequent such spots for dining and entertainment.
As An Ruo was searching for the private room, three drunken young men approached her.
The one in the lead was carrying a suit jacket over one shoulder, his eyes clouded and swollen from alcohol, his face flushed.
Upon seeing An Ruo, his gaze fixed on her, staring continuously with a malicious glint in his eyes.
An Ruo didn’t want to provoke such people. She shifted her gaze away and tried to walk near the edge to avoid a confrontation.
The three men got to her face and didn’t pass by; instead, they swaggeringly blocked her path.
"Miss, may I ask your last name, what’s your name?" the leader asked her with a tone that tried to be gentle but sounded sleazy.
The breath he exhaled as he spoke reeked of alcohol and decay, it was extremely disgusting.
An Ruo frowned subtly, and spoke indifferently, "Excuse me, please."
Normally, if someone showed no interest in such a pickup attempt, the person should take the hint and move aside. Yet the three men showed no intention of moving, instead giving off sly laughter.
"Beautiful miss, let me introduce myself. Everyone calls me Brother Qiang; you can call me Brother Qiang too. Just, I don’t know what the little sister is called?"
The man’s way of addressing her changed directly from ’miss’ to ’little sister’, his words becoming increasingly forward.
An Ruo didn’t want to deal with these types of people. She tried to walk around them, but if she moved to the left, they moved to the right, and if she moved to the right, they moved to the left, clearly showing they wouldn’t let her off easily.
An Ruo turned to walk back, but Brother Qiang’s two companions rushed forward, blocking her retreat. Now she couldn’t go anywhere.
These hoodlums were too audacious!
An Ruo took out her phone and threatened them coldly, "Move aside or I’ll call the police!"
"Little sister, big brother is just asking for your name, don’t be scared. Come on, tell big brother your name, and I’ll treat you to a drink, how about that?" Brother Qiang leered, his greasy hand reaching for her delicate hand.
An Ruo dodged in disgust, and shouted fiercely, "Back off, or I’ll call for help!"
The man’s face instantly changed, his eyes turned icy, and a cold smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Ignorant woman, do you know who I am? Offend me, and I’ll make sure you can’t clear yourself!"
Seeing her silent, Brother Qiang thought she was frightened. He chuckled again, reaching out to touch An Ruo’s smooth cheek, "Good, that’s being obedient. Stick with me, and I promise you... Ah!"
His hand had not yet touched her face when she fiercely kicked him in the groin. The man’s face contorted in pain, he let out a screech like a slaughtered pig.
Not giving them a chance to react, An Ruo forcefully pushed him away and attempted to run. She had barely taken a step when her hair was suddenly grabbed.
