The darkly clad bodyguard that stood closest to them approached the couple with his head bowed. Without even looking up, he respectfully took the serving tray from Gu Qingxin’s hands.
“Let’s find a good place to settle our debt from last night,” Beiming Han whispered into her ear. Every word sounded icy, but to the eyes of outsiders, their actions seemed extremely intimate.
Who was this man? What kind of relationship did he have with the daughter that the Gu family had deserted?
The women widened their eyes in disbelief as various complex emotions like envy and jealousy swelled in their hearts. Even death would feel worthwhile to them if they could so much as get such an excellent man to look their way.
Gu Qingxin reflexively wanted to push him away, but Beiming Han’s arms were clamped around her and rendered her motionless.
Beiming Han gracefully took a drag of his cigarette. It was a simple movement that was enough to drive everyone out of their minds. The kind of elegance he possessed made everyone want to bow down and submit to him.
The women felt fearful and jealous at the same time. Why was Gu Qingxin so lucky? She was able to latch onto such a brilliant man even after leaving the Gu family.
Beiming Han embraced Gu Qingxin tightly and led her out of Castle Entertainment City. The two of them disappeared out of sight and left the venue while surrounded by the bodyguards.
Behind them, the trembling manager had rushed over. One of the bodyguards informed him coldly, “Call the police, these people have drugs on them.”
“What? Did you say drugs? You must have proof when you make such accusations.”
“Exactly, if you spout nonsense, we can sue you… for defamation.”
“You’ll know the truth when the police arrive,” the bodyguard replied, completely unmoved. He instructed others to surround this group of wealthy young people.
As for the man with a dagger in his palm, he had passed out from pain and fright. His blood was everywhere.
…
Outside Castle Entertainment City, a luxurious vehicle waited outside. The bodyguards stood in two rows respectfully. Beiming Han walked toward the car like a noble king with Gu Qingxin in his arms.
Gu Qingxin returned to her senses at that moment. She struggled and broke free of the man’s hold to escape, but Beiming Han shoved her into the car before she could take a single step.
Inside the high-class vehicle, the floor was covered with a soft carpet, which prevented her from getting hurt when she fell. Gu Qingxin hurriedly stood up and pulled down her short skirt. When she turned her head, Beiming Han had entered the car as well. He raised his hand, removed his sunglasses, and revealed a face so handsome it must have been blessed by the heavens.
Gu Qingxin was extremely nervous. She did not expect that they would run into each other again in such a big city after less than a day. What did this man mean when he said that he wanted to settle their debt from last night?
“What do you want?” Gu Qingxin asked as she retreated. This man was dangerous, and she subconsciously wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
The man before her was different from any man she had ever encountered. She could distinctly feel that the blood that flowed within this man was wild, like an untameable wolf, mysterious and dangerous.
A wolf…
She had drawn a connection between this man and the bloodthirsty, cruel wolf. She recalled the tattoo on her abdomen and immediately felt suffocated.
Beiming Han took a long drag of his cigarette. Gu Qingxin had retreated to the door in hope that she could get away from him, but the door behind her suddenly opened and she was forcefully shoved back in.
She cried out softly as she landed in Beiming Han’s arms. The man’s strong, masculine aura surrounded her instantly. Gu Qingxin pushed her hands against his chest and hoped to gain some leverage and place some distance between them.
