Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Causing Trouble Again
It was nearly half-past nine by the time Wang Chenning left Yang Xiaofei’s villa.
Yang Xiaofei knew her plan to tease Wang Chenning had been a complete failure, and she was too embarrassed to be alone with him any longer.
If she stayed alone with Wang Chenning again, she felt she would truly be playing with fire.
Wang Chenning naturally noticed the shift in Yang Xiaofei’s mood, but he didn’t point it out. After gathering his things, he casually took his leave.
After leaving Yang Xiaofei’s villa, Wang Chenning drove to pick up Zhao Xiao’an.
Upon arriving at the TV station, Wang Chenning sent Zhao Xiao’an a message saying he was waiting for her outside, and he included a photo.
Less than ten minutes later, Zhao Xiao’an came running toward his parked car.
"Why are you waiting out here?" Zhao Xiao’an asked, beaming at Wang Chenning. "You could have just told the security guard you’re my friend; he definitely would have let you in. Or you could’ve just called me, and I would’ve come out to get you."
"It’s fine. The night view around here is nice, so I just walked around and enjoyed it," Wang Chenning said with a smile. "It also saves us from any misunderstandings!"
"I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Zhao Xiao’an huffed playfully, then asked with a mischievous look, "How about I take you inside for a tour?"
"Maybe next time," Wang Chenning said, politely declining with a smile. He knew what she was after. "It’s getting late. If we delay any longer, we won’t have time for a late-night snack!"
"Okay, next time then."
After getting into Wang Chenning’s car, Zhao Xiao’an asked him, "About your competition with Chang Hongwei and Chang Qingfeng, are you going to post it online?"
Wang Chenning shook his head. "No, I’m not that petty."
"You’re so magnanimous," Zhao Xiao’an said, grinning at Wang Chenning. "If the Chang family’s grandfather and grandson had won, I bet they would’ve plastered the news everywhere!"
"If they had beaten me, it would’ve been a huge deal worth publicizing. Me beating them is nothing to brag about."
Zhao Xiao’an rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning, then started giggling. "The subtle flex is always the most deadly!"
As they were speaking, Wang Chenning’s phone rang. It was a call from Luo Yuqing.
Seeing it was Luo Yuqing’s number, the smile on Zhao Xiao’an’s face vanished, replaced by instant alarm. "Luo Yuqing is calling you in the middle of the night?"
"She must’ve run into some serious trouble again," Wang Chenning said, answering the call on his car’s Bluetooth without a hint of guilt.
"Hey, you brat, what are you doing?" Luo Yuqing’s lazy voice came through, accompanied by a faint, noisy background.
"About to take Xiao’an out for a late-night snack," Wang Chenning answered honestly, then asked, "Why are you still up so late? Not resting yet?"
"You two get to be romantic in the middle of the night, so why should I be resting so early?" Luo Yuqing suddenly flared up. "You two are unbelievable!"
"Luo Yuqing, what do you want?" Zhao Xiao’an asked in a hostile tone. "An old spinster like you, calling in the middle of the night to harass..."
"Shut up!" Luo Yuqing cut her off before she could finish. "Zhao Xiao’an, don’t forget I’m your aunt—your mother’s younger sister!"
Wang Chenning gestured for Zhao Xiao’an to calm down, then asked Luo Yuqing with a smile, "Auntie, how about you come join us for a late-night snack?"
"I’m at the Night Bar. The show’s about to start, so get over here if you want to watch!" Luo Yuqing’s voice was growing impatient. "You have twenty minutes. Don’t be late, or you’ll regret it!"
"What’s going on?" Wang Chenning’s heart skipped a beat. "Is there going to be a fight again?"
"You know that conflict you and those students had at the KTV? Someone set you up on purpose. The guy who did it is the secret owner of the Night Bar, Mo Dawei," Luo Yuqing said, her breathing heavy. "And guess what? He’s here right now. You want to come over and have a little ’chat’ with him?"
"Okay, we’re on our way!" Wang Chenning didn’t need her to say another word; he understood her meaning instantly.
"What’s going on?" Zhao Xiao’an felt another sense of foreboding. "Are you getting into another big fight?"
"I don’t know. Let’s get there first," Wang Chenning said, stepping on the gas and speeding up.
==============
At the Night Bar, a well-dressed middle-aged man of about thirty-five or thirty-six, with a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, was drinking with friends.
As he drank, he surveyed the men and women around him.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a beautiful young woman sitting a few seats away.
She was stunningly beautiful, with a fantastic figure. But more importantly, she possessed a unique aura that made her stand out from the crowd.
As the middle-aged man glanced over, the beautiful woman happened to look his way. Their eyes met, and she flashed him a captivating smile.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the middle-aged man stood up, drink in hand, and walked over to her.
"Miss, could I have the pleasure of buying you a drink?" he asked politely, sitting down beside the beautiful woman and expertly positioning his arm to show off the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
"Of course!" the beautiful woman agreed cheerfully. "I was just looking for someone to drink with!"
After sitting down, the man eagerly poured the beautiful woman a drink, then poured one for himself.
"What’s a lady like you doing drinking all alone?" the middle-aged man asked, raising his glass. "Are you here meeting friends?"
"Are you trying to take me somewhere for the night?" the beautiful woman asked, raising her glass and smiling at the man. "We’re all out here to have a good time, no need to play games. Just come out and say what you’re thinking."
The woman’s directness stunned the middle-aged man for a moment. He could hardly believe it.
’This isn’t some working girl,’ he thought. ’She must be a decent woman looking for a thrill.’
The thought of it made him so excited he could barely contain himself.
The beautiful woman took a sip of her drink, then stuck out her small, tempting tongue and licked her lips.
Her gesture sent another jolt of excitement through the man. ’She’s definitely a wild one,’ he thought, ’the kind you can ride however you please.’
"How about we find a better place to... talk about life?" the middle-aged man asked, his eyes gleaming. "I have good wine and good stories!"
"This place is a bit boring," the beautiful woman said, shooting a sideways glance at the handsome couple who had just sat down near her. She then smiled at the middle-aged man. "Alright, take me to this place with good wine and good stories."
The middle-aged man swallowed hard again. "Then let’s go."
"I’m feeling a little dizzy," the beautiful woman said with a wanton smile, deliberately puffing out her chest. "Help me up."
"Of course!" The man stood up to support her. "I’ll help you."
’My lucky day,’ he thought. ’I can’t believe I ran into a woman who’s not only this easy, but also drop-dead gorgeous with a smoking hot body.’
SLAP! A sharp, heavy slap echoed through the air, knocking the man, who had been completely lost in his excitement, into a stunned daze.
"You motherfucker!" After the slap, the beautiful woman’s shriek followed. "You dare to hit on me? Do you think a scumbag like you has the right to touch my body? Believe it or not, I’ll kick you so hard you’ll become a eunuch!"
After watching Luo Yuqing’s clumsy performance for a while, Wang Chenning shook his head and sighed wryly, then stood up and walked over.
