Jiang Xiaobai felt as though something had crashed into her heart the instant she caught sight of Xiao Su; it hurt badly.
Fang Tangtang gasped internally, clearly shocked to see Xiao Su there. Xiao Su was incredible; neither of them had told him where they went, but he was still able to find them. However, Xiao Su looked worse for wear with all the injuries on his body at the moment.
Fang Tangtang had instantly guessed that Jiang Xiaobai’s bad mood definitely had something to do with Xiao Su when she called Fang Tangtang to go drinking with her today; something must have happened between them. However, Xiaobai wasn’t willing to talk about it. As a friend who was also like a sister to her, Fang Tangtang didn’t press Jiang Xiaobai about it. Now that she had seen how badly wounded Xiao Su was, Fang Tangtang didn’t know what to say. She simply thought that these two were complicated people. Did Xiaobai’s heart not hurt at the sight of her boyfriend being injured this badly? It seemed like Xiao Su had really made Xiaobai angry this time.
“Go home,” Xiao Su said to Jiang Xiaobai in a low voice.
Home?
Upon hearing that word, Jiang Xiaobai felt an absolute sense of mockery. Why didn’t he tell her to go home earlier when they were at the hospital?
“Hey pretty, who is this?”
The handsome man who had been hitting on Jiang Xiaobai earlier squinted and sized Xiao Su up when he saw him coming up and grabbing Jiang Xiaobai’s arm abruptly.
Jiang Xiaobai had initially wanted to tell the man to scram when she heard his voice, but now that Xiao Su was here, she didn’t want to do that anymore. She quirked her lips and extracted her arm from Xiao Su’s grip before giggling coyly.
“Don’t know him!”
Upon her words, the man immediately put himself in front of Jiang Xiaobai. “Hey, you’ve got to wait your turn; I asked this pretty lady here first. If you want to extend an invitation to her, get in line, okay?”
Xiao Su pressed his thin lips together in displeasure after he had been shaken off, his forehead creasing as well. He gave Jiang Xiaobai a dangerous look.
Jiang Xiaobai gripped the man’s tie. “Didn’t you say that you were going to take me up to the stage to dance?”
“Yes, yes. Do you want to come?”
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? I love dancing.”
And so, Jiang Xiaobai prepared to go with the man. When she passed by Xiao Su, he grabbed her arm again, his voice low and chilly. “Xiaobai, you…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Xiaobai shook his grip off again and said mockingly, “Mister, please have more respect for yourself; stop getting handsy with me. Careful now, or I’ll call the police. Oh, and you’re hurt pretty badly. You should hurry to the hospital and not waste your time here. It won’t be any good if you delay treatment and end up worsening your condition—you might even get yourself killed.”
Xiao Su frowned, the displeasure beginning to stew in his eyes. Even Fang Tangtang was rendered tongue-tied when she heard Jiang Xiaobai’s words. The corner of her mouth twitched; just how badly did Xiao Su offend Xiaobai to make her furious enough to say such things?
Soon, Jiang Xiaobai vanished from Xiao Su’s sight, having followed the man up to the platform.
Jiang Xiaobai was absolutely gorgeous; since she was supposed to attend a wedding today, she had dressed up carefully. Her typically smooth and straight waist-length locks had been deliberately permed into natural-looking waves; she had tied her hair up earlier, but she let it down when she got on stage. With her long hair settled on her shoulders, her face was dainty under the blinding and scorching stage lights. A mesmerizing gleam glinted in her eyes, her lips a seductive red.
The men on the floor yelled in support of Jiang Xiaobai when they saw this scene, some of them even whistling.
“Dance, dance!”
The shouts from the crowd below ascended and descended in waves.
The man held Jiang Xiaobai’s hand before lowering his head to press a light kiss on the back of it. “You’re sure to rock the crowd. Good luck.”
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him and pulled her hand back. “Thanks.”
Upon seeing this from where he was below the stage, Xiao Su’s gaze grew even more frigid, his lips practically having flattened into a line. Fang Tangtang could sense the disgruntledness and harsh air he was exuding; it was as though he was about to kill someone.
Oh boy, this is kind of scary.
Fang Tangtang wasn’t sure what she was thinking as she gave a light cough and tried to defend Xiaobai. “Uh, please don’t be angry with Xiaobai; I don’t see her like this often. Did you get on her nerves?”
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Su’s murderous aura subsided a little. However, it was just a miniscule bit. He glanced at Fang Tangtang before saying in a low voice, “Yes, I’ve made her angry.”
Still, that didn’t mean that she had to go up and dance on stage, right? How many men were watching her from below? Did she not know just how beautiful she was? Was she just going to go up there and dance for others to see?
Jiang Xiaobai’s body began to dance along with the beat of the music automatically, her mind free of any thoughts. People who were good-looking were naturally able to look like a painting even if they stood still, never mind when they were dancing.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly drew everyone’s gazes to her when she stepped up to the stage. The previous dancer on-stage was not pleased when she saw how Jiang Xiaobai had garnered so many cheers when she arrived, so she began to bend and twist her flexible body, intending to show Jiang Xiaobai up.
When she noticed how most people had their eyes on Jiang Xiaobai, the dancer was disgruntled, and so she quirked her lips and decided to bring out the big guns. She deliberately crossed over to Jiang Xiaobai, dancing around her for a bit. At last, she slipped her cropped jacket off to reveal a black tank top underneath.
The men below immediately wolf-whistled when they saw this.
Jiang Xiaobai was a little stunned; after all, she had wanted to show off her own skills. She hadn’t expected this dancer to compete with her. Did that dancer have to do that?
“Strip! Strip!”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but roll her eyes at their screams. However, that dancer waltzed in front of her again, whispering to her so that she was the only one who could hear, “Do you not dare to take your clothes off?”
Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t sure what she was thinking; perhaps the dancer had touched a nerve. Jiang Xiaobai lifted the corners of her mouth, showing a dissatisfied smile at the dancer. Under the anticipating gazes of the audience, she reached up and began to undo the buttons of her jacket. Her movements were slow, having drawn everyone’s eyes to her as she unbuttoned her jacket. The dancer before her couldn’t resist from mentally berating her for being so shameless.
Indeed, this woman is quite shameless. Just how slow is she unbuttoning a single jacket. Does she want to draw all of the men’s eyes to her? The dancer had been short-sighted for taking her own jacket off so quickly. Now, she had given this woman an opportunity.
On the floor below, Xiao Su nearly exploded when he saw Jiang Xiaobai undoing the buttons of her jacket in front of so many people. Fang Tangtang couldn’t resist slipping away when she sensed his darkening aura.
All the men below were ogling Jiang Xiaobai. How Xiao Su wished he could stalk over and scoop their eyes out. What were they looking at? Was another man’s girl that much of a sight?
D*mn them all!
No one noticed how Xiao Su’s hands had already curled into fists, blood leaking between his fingers.
