Lin Qin’er had no choice but to stop in her tracks since Yan was calling for her. However, Lin Qin’er’s eyes reddened with tears and she sobbed, “I am really sorry. I would have stayed in the hospital if I knew that I’d cause both of you so much trouble. However… I am really afraid of staying in the hospital alone at night, sob…” She started to cry her eyes out while she explained herself.
Yan frowned while tugging at Han Qing’s arm and mouthing at him. ‘What happened?’
Han Qing looked at the young lady in front of him who wore a shower cap over her head. She has no makeup on her fair and dainty face. Her eyes are as clear as crystal—just like a simple girl who knows nothing about the world. He felt helpless, so he held onto Yan’s hand. “There’s only one bed here. You should move into the next room with me.”
Yan remained standing still when she heard that, feeling as if his words were a blow to her head. Otherwise, why do I see so many stars? However… Why is Han Qing asking me to move to his room suddenly? Did Han Qing overhear our conversation earlier? No, that’s impossible. In that case, why? Unfortunately, Yan was unable to figure it out despite racking her brain.
Han Qing glanced at Lin Qin’er as his tone became polite yet distant. “Miss Lin, don’t worry. We will help you to the end by appropriately sorting things since we are involved in this matter. You should stay here without any worry for the next few days. Feel free to phone room service if you need anything.” With that, Han Qing left the hotel room with Yan’s suitcase while holding onto her hand.
Slam! Lin Qin’er, who was standing at the same spot, clenched her fist when the room door was slammed shut, causing the color to be drained from her pretty face! Damn it, that man! How dare he humiliate me in such a way! He even took Yan with him! It’s as if he’s afraid that I’m some kind of a demon!
She was blinded with anger and was about to smash the things in the room. However, she refrained from doing that after weighing her options. No way. I have to calm down. That man is not an ordinary man. It wouldn’t make sense if I had succeeded in seducing him effortlessly. I should put in more effort to seduce him, so I have to calm down to devise a plan. I can’t possibly return to that scary man. Otherwise, I’d have nothing to look forward to apart from the constant torture and abuse. Hence, my target is Han Qing. As for Yan, ha! She’s just a young girl whom I can easily influence. What does she have to compete with me? Lin Qin’er smirked at the thought.
On the other side, Yan was still bewildered when Han Qing pulled her hand as they walked. They arrived at the neighboring hotel room soon enough. When she entered the room, he specifically took a pair of sandals for her before walking into the room with her suitcase.
Yan looked down at the sandals. These aren’t the right size again… Nevertheless, she shuffled closely behind him. She saw him placing her suitcase and just couldn’t help but tug against the corner of his shirt.
After placing the suitcase, Han Qing turned around and saw Yan standing behind him while tugging at his shirt. She eagerly looked up at him although her clear eyes shone with doubt. He raised his hand to gently tap her head. “What is it?”
She pressed her lips together while blinking several times. “You know what I’m asking.”
“Your hair is still wet. Aren’t you planning to blow dry your hair?”
She obviously never cared for this question because she wanted to know about something else. Hence, she stubbornly stood still. The next thing she knew, he held onto her wrist when he spoke to her. “You should blow dry your hair first. You wouldn’t want to catch a cold.”
Thus, Yan had no choice but to blow dry her hair under Han Qing’s insistence. She planned to blow dry her hair in the beginning, but he unexpectedly helped her with that.
Hence, Yan sat quietly on the chair while Han Qing blow-dried her hair for her. It was most likely due to her nerves because her legs were squeezed together and her hands were placed obediently on her thighs. “What’s going on? Why do I have a feeling that you… don’t really like Lin Qin’er?” she blurted out the question after hesitating for a long time.
The man standing behind her did not react in an odd manner. Instead, he answered calmly, “She is a stranger after all. It’s not safe for you to stay with her alone.”
Well, that sounds reasonable. However, I don’t think it’s as simple as that. “Is that the only reason?” she asked while blinking her eyes.
Han Qing switched off the hair dryer and he attended to her hair while asking her in a gravelly voice, “Otherwise, what were you hoping for?”
“Um…”
Before Yan could answer him, Han Qing suddenly bent down to her to press his chin against her shoulder. She felt his hot breath caressing her neck. “Just treat it as me wanting to take you to my room. Is that okay?”
Yan was rendered speechless when she heard that. She was about to faint at that moment because Han Qing had provocatively said those words to her by her ear. In fact, he deepened his voice on purpose, so his voice was extremely husky. He sounded as if a scorching knife slashed across his throat and it felt intense.
Her eyelashes fluttered and he carefully pulled her backward. Hence, Yan ended up in Han Qing’s embrace, but her vision swiftly turned black when Han Qing kissed her. The kiss, which came along with a crisp scent that was unique to Han Qing, shrouded over her. She was overwhelmed by Han Qing’s scent.
Due to her position, Yan was forced to tilt her head up while resting her head on Han Qing’s thigh. Hence, She clearly saw that he was kissing her while he bent over. She blinked several times while admiring how strong his core muscles were, but she snapped back to her senses upon feeling a sharp pain on her lip.
Han Qing flicked her forehead softly and his eyes reflected a trace of helplessness. “Why are you distracted about something else at this point?”
“Um…” Yan pouted while complaining, “I wasn’t distracted on purpose.” It’s not my fault that the strength of your abdomen seems much more attractive.
“You didn’t do it on purpose?” Han Qing squinted at her when he heard that. He squeezed her lower jaw gently while approaching her. “In that case, are you saying that… I haven’t worked hard enough? Is that why you are distracted?”
Yan’s eyes widened in shock when she heard that. “No! I wasn’t thinking that!” After that, she acted as if she was determined to prove herself. She stood up from his embrace abruptly. However, she did it too aggressively and knocked into Han Qing’s chin. The impact gave her a shock and sent her sitting back down, but she fell sideways as she was in the wrong position. Han Qing yanked her back with an arm, but they ended up falling together toward the bed behind them.
Thud! Thud! Han Qing’s back slammed against the soft bed whereas Yan fell onto Han Qing’s firm chest. In comparison, the impact left Yan in pain. She looked up with distress due to the pain while destroying the excellent atmosphere.
“It hurts…” Yan complained in an aggrieved tone while looking at Han Qing.
Han Qing was at a loss for words. Such a silly young lady. I have a beautiful woman in my arms and we are the only ones in the room. The venue and atmosphere are perfect, but she’s now telling me that she’s hurt. What else can I do? Hence, he reached out to rub her head while asking in a gentle tone, “Where did you hit yourself?”
Yan blushed the minute he asked her that. I fell face first against him. Where else could I have hit myself? In the end, her cheeks were flushed red when she answered, “I hit my face!”
