His fingers paused, his deep, ocean-blue eyes halting as well, as if he were pondering something.
With a CLAP! Hua Xiaomo’s slender hand came down quickly as she swiftly changed the subject. "President Qi, I think they’ve left by now, haven’t they?"
Her heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
Yet, no sooner had she spoken than the sounds of continued scuffling, shouting, and tables crashing erupted from outside.
A wicked smile touched Qi Longbing’s stunningly handsome face. "It seems this battle won’t be over anytime soon, Xiao Mo."
Hua Xiaomo’s brows furrowed tightly, her amber eyes glinting darkly. "We have an agreement, President Qi. You haven’t forgotten, have you? We’re just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
"...What difference does it make whether it’s real or fake?" Qi Longbing suddenly said, amused. He found the sight of her flushed face and messy short hair quite delightful.
"You..." Hua Xiaomo raised her head, glaring at him. She hadn’t expected him to say something like that! Was he always this capricious?
Anger and pain clearly reflected in her eyes. But before she could say more, Qi Longbing’s other hand pried at her slender fingers, which were firmly clamped around his belt buckle. He chuckled, "Let go!"
"No! I won’t let go!" Hua Xiaomo retorted, her face burning red. "You bastard... How could you..."
"Bastard?" Qi Longbing looked up, meeting her gaze, his beautiful blue eyes narrowing craftily. "Hua Xiaomo, what on earth is in that ridiculous little head of yours? If you don’t let go now, I’m going to wet my pants!"
"Uh..." Hua Xiaomo started, suddenly realizing he needed to... use the restroom!
"Sorry!" Hua Xiaomo apologized quickly, her hand recoiling as if scalded.
The next second, as Qi Longbing casually shifted to the side, she immediately got up from the toilet lid.
However, just as she was about to head for the restroom door, a commanding voice filled the small space.
"Don’t go out!" His command echoed in the small space.
A GUSHING sound filled her ears, accompanied by a strange odor.
Flushing with embarrassment, Hua Xiaomo immediately turned her back, her gaze fixed on the door. Outside, the uproar seemed to continue, but inside this room...
Hua Xiaomo’s face burned crimson; she had never been so mortified. Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
She didn’t know how long she waited. Though it was only a few minutes, it felt like an eternity. Her heart calmed slightly only when the toilet finally flushed.
She really didn’t want to stay here any longer; it was so annoying! Oh, what should she do? She wanted to leave, but those two women outside were still fighting. If she went out now, it definitely wouldn’t end well. But sitting here was also so uncomfortable! Oh, standing wasn’t right, sitting wasn’t right either... there was simply no solution but to stand. And having Qu Longbin here made her especially uncomfortable! When would those people outside finish fighting? Ugh, honestly, fighting over a man —was it worth it? It was such a disgrace to women! She knew how others might see it, but she felt it was utterly embarrassing, shameful to the core! What was so great about that man that they were actually coming to blows over him? It was unbelievable! What was so good about Qi Longbin that both of them liked him? It was truly baffling. But no matter what, she would never fall for Qi Longbing.
