An Yin only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, and she instinctively closed them.
When she opened her eyes, what greeted her was the dazzling lights reflecting off the high-table filled with wine glasses.
An Yin noticed that there was no loud, deafening music in the private room, nor was there a crowd gathered to play and have fun.
The mixed colors reflected an ambiguous glow that fell on the faces of those present.
As An Yin’s gaze wandered, she discovered a familiar figure sitting upright on the sofa in the corner, a man holding a cigarette, with smoke curling up and dissipating into the air, without a trace.
Was Bao Shaojin smoking?
A hint of curiosity flitted across An Yin’s fair face, and soon she bit her lip tightly, quietly looking in the man’s direction.
Noticing An Yin’s expression, Shen Jingrou pulled her forward, "Let’s go say hello."
An Yin pondered in silence.
The two sat down on a nearby soft chair, Shen Jingrou sat comfortably, smiling and calling out, "Big brother."
Bao Shaojin slightly raised an eyebrow, directly glanced past the petite figure towards Shen Jingrou with a meaningful look, but said nothing.
"Bao Shaojin." An Yin called out timidly and weakly.
As soon as her voice fell, the man’s cold, keen eyes landed on her face.
The young girl didn’t like wearing makeup; she always appeared bare-faced, her cheeks’ skin as delicate and fair as an eggshell, with captivating eyes that were both charming and pure. Making eye contact could further stir a man’s possessive desire.
The smell of smoke lingered in the air from the man’s hand. An Yin quickly covered her mouth, suppressing the urge to cough, faintly coughing.
Perhaps stifled discomfort made her face blush instantly.
When she first coughed, Bao Shaojin tossed his cigarette into the ashtray, his cold, aloof face immediately turning somber, his gaze on the young girl turning particularly focused.
Shen Jingrou discreetly observed his expression, lowered her gaze, and gently patted An Yin’s back, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"It’s nothing." To prevent her from worrying, An Yin quickly spoke up.
In reality, she still hadn’t recovered from a cold, being particularly sensitive to scents, and the smoke in the air made her uncomfortable.
Seeing her not cough further, Shen Jingrou felt relieved.
An attendant walked in with a platter of fresh fruit and juice, setting it down before leaving.
At this point, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward; no one in the spacious private room spoke up.
Shen Jingrou’s bright, autumn-like eyes shuffled between Bao Shaojin and An Yin until meeting that sharp, intense gaze, then quickly shifted her focus elsewhere.
Big brother’s gaze earlier was so frightening! Shen Jingrou thought, terrified.
As Shen Jingrou pondered, the man’s cold, deep voice echoed.
"Huaizhi is upstairs."
Bao Shaojin’s sudden words startled Shen Jingrou out of her chair.
"Huaizhi brother is back in the country?"
In An Yin’s eyes, sister Jingrou had always been calm and elegant, and her rare excitement showed the person Bao Shaojin mentioned held significance to Shen Jingrou.
"Yes, you can go greet him." Bao Shaojin’s profound deep eyes stirred with undercurrents, his words slowly spoken.
"Alright, I’ll go now." Finished speaking, Shen Jingrou lowered her gaze just when she met An Yin’s scared and anxious eyes.
Feeling reluctant to leave An Yin alone here, Shen Jingrou hesitated, standing still.
Seeing this, An Yin knew she wanted to meet that person, kindly saying, "Sister Jingrou, you can go greet others first."
"Won’t you feel bored staying here alone?"
"I can play games on my phone."
"Alright then." Shen Jingrou felt a little guilty seeing the young girl’s understanding demeanor, "Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."
"Okay." A faint smile appeared on An Yin’s beautiful face.
After Shen Jingrou left, her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by anxiety.
Jiang Keke’s unintentional words earlier eventually left a mark in her mind.
Jiang Keke said, Bao Shaojin liked her?
When this thought surfaced again, An Yin immediately panicked. To cover her embarrassment, she lowered her head, looking at the fruit on the table not far away. Carefully, she reached for a strawberry, eating it with a heavy heart.
Since Shen Jingrou left, the young girl hadn’t spoken, like a little hamster, just focused on eating.
There were four types of fruit on the platter, the strawberries still had water traces, glistening crystal clear under the light, exceptionally tender.
Bao Shaojin’s ominous gaze watched her alabaster hands grabbing each strawberry, bringing it to her mouth. From a distance, her lips appeared more delectable than the succulent strawberries.
The man’s deep black eyes were filled with danger, revealing an almost pathological obsession. Read complete versıon only at 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
An Yin felt a bit full. Abruptly looking up, she met the man’s intense gaze, instantly feeling a chill down her spine; she had never seen the man with this expression before.
"Get me a drink." Bao Shaojin spoke emotionlessly, retracting his gaze brewing with complex emotions.
Hearing his words, An Yin looked at the table before him, filled with empty wine glasses, glanced around, and found many untouched drinks on the central high-table. Cautiously, she stood up and walked towards the high-table.
When she reached for a glass, she found the cup in her hand resembled a Luminous Cup, with the dark brown wine inside shimmering, the cup body emitting a dazzling glow, captivating An Yin.
From the moment the young girl stood up, Bao Shaojin’s eyes were on her; just a single cup, yet she scrutinized it for a long time.
"Watch your step." Seeing she was about to bump into a chair, Bao Shaojin reminded quite helplessly.
The man’s sudden voice made An Yin tense up, her hand trembled slightly.
The clear sound echoed, liquid and glass scattering all over.
An Yin apprehensively looked up at the man, "I-I didn’t mean to."
After speaking, she retreated backwards.
His voice carried a hint of restrained anger.
In the next second, An Yin saw the man rise from the sofa, his tall stature making him seem like the fiercest beast in the jungle. As he approached, a chill-inducing aura emanated.
As the distance between them closed, An Yin suddenly caught a strong scent of alcohol.
While An Yin felt apprehensive, she suddenly experienced a sensation of the world spinning. Upon regaining her senses, she realized she had been picked up horizontally by the man.
