Bo Jiu was still thinking about the dormitory and didn't pay much attention to the interaction between Xue Yaoyao and Jiang Zuo. But when she heard Xue Yaoyao's words, she asked gently, "Do you need me to go with you? The nightclub isn't safe sometimes."
"It's fine, I can go alone." Xue Yaoyao smiled, her heart softening as she watched the youngster. Even her eyes were brighter than before.
Jiang Zuo's eyes dimmed when he saw this.
He didn't say anything, he continued to drink as though he hadn't heard their conversation. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in his hand, turning his leg to let Xue Yaoyao out.
After about a minute, he stood up and raised his glass towards Qin Mo. "I have a friend over there, you guys can drink first."
Qin Mo glanced at Jiang Zuo. He was already aware of some things but he didn't like to interfere in other people's relationships.
Especially since he knew Jiang Zuo well, he only acknowledged with a faint "Mmh" and didn't say anything else.
At this moment, Xue Yaoyao was standing at the corridor. She wasn't dressed like the other girls in the nightclub, she was dressed very conservatively.
It was just that she, who had lost weight, was especially fair. Her eyes were also a lot bigger. When she tied her hair up, her neck would always look very white and slender from the back.
It made people want to know what she looked like from the front.
There was a man passing by, dressed rather maturely. When he saw Xue Yaoyao, his eyes lit up.
Then, he walked over and lowered his voice. His face was chiseled and tough. "Alone?"
The nightclub wasn't well lit. Xue Yaoyao turned when she heard the voice.
The man's gaze deepened. "So it's you."
Xue Yaoyao didn't recognize the person in front of her, her eyes filled with confusion. "You are?"
"I know Boss Feng." The man had a company under him. He was in the network integration business and wasn't unfamiliar with esports.
Of course, it wasn't the photos that made him remember Xue Yaoyao.
It was her personal story.
Xue Yaoyao was just another selling point for a professional esports player's publicity. She was like most ordinary girls, but she had leaped into the limelight of a professional esports player.
In addition, she used to be very mellow, and her current appearance was undoubtedly a very good story template.
However, at that time, when the man looked at the information, he felt that if all the girls in this world were as hardworking as her, then the results of some things might be different.
The man smiled. Originally, he had intended to play around, but now, there was a hint of sincerity. "Alright, let's not talk about me. Why are you here alone? The nightclub is not a safe place."
Xue Yaoyao wanted to say something.
A familiar deep voice came from behind. "Boss Ling, you're in a good mood. I didn't know you knew my friend."
Xue Yaoyao didn't need to look to know who that voice belonged to.
It was probably because she did not keep to the time agreement that the person's voice carried a trace of coldness, as if it was stained with a heavy layer of ice.
"Director Jiang's friend?" The man raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "It doesn't look like it."
Jiang Zuo had never been like this before. Even though his lips were curved, there wasn't a smile in his eyes. "What doesn't seem right?"
"Director Jiang's friends are all …" The man paused before continuing. "She doesn't seem to belong to that type."
Jiang Zuo glanced at Xue Yaoyao, probably because of the distance, his voice became colder. "Director Ling, don't you know that some people can't be judged by their appearance?"
This sentence obviously had another meaning.
The man frowned, wanting to speak up for Xue Yaoyao.
But Jiang Zuo pulled her over, his left hand holding onto Xue Yaoyao's wrist. There wasn't a hint of awkwardness on his face, instead, he had a warlord's childe smile. It was devilish. "I have some private matters to discuss with her, please help yourself, Director Ling."
Before the man could say anything, Jiang Zuo had already dragged her to the corridor at the side.
The nightclub's bodyguards automatically stood out, blocking the entrance.
After all, this was Jiang Zuo's place. There were some special places prepared for him.
The corridor was paved with red carpet, and at the end was a luxurious private room. That private room was rarely visited, specially provided for Jiang Zuo to rest.
Hence, there weren't many people around, except for a few high-ranking officials and children who came to have fun. Even if they saw Jiang Zuo dragging someone, they would think it was a beauty, the ambiguous expression on their faces clear.
"Hey, Young Master Jiang seems to have changed his taste today. Who is this for Young Master Jiang to bring her here personally?"
A drunk youngster placed his arm over a girl's shoulder, leaning over to see what Xue Yaoyao looked like.
Jiang Zuo blocked him, looking playful. "What's so good about a girl? Go do what you have to do, I have something to do here."
"What can you do at this hour?" The youngster laughed even more happily. "Alright, alright, I understand. I won't disturb Young Master Jiang and this lady, have fun."
"Alright, get lost." Jiang Zuo was always like this in front of others, his childe aura mixed with the aura of a gangster.
Xue Yaoyao heard his words and roughly knew what kind of person he thought she was. Hence, she didn't retort.
Anyway, no one could see her from where she was standing.
It was a day like today.
Xue Yaoyao just hoped that no one would recognize her, as long as she didn't embarrass Supreme Alliance.
Jiang Zuo probably didn't want others to know that they were together, otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored her and said those words.
Come to think of it, his attitude towards her had never changed. He probably hated her, but at that time, he just felt that there was no need to be calculative with a girl like her, who was a toad trying to eat swan meat. After all, she hadn't shown herself in front of him yet. Later, when the conflict erupted, she understood his hatred. He had told her that the thing he was most unhappy about was that Uncle Jiang had forgotten about his mother. At that time, the two of them were keeping a secret, and he had always told her anything he wanted to say. He even said that he could only say all his unhappiness in front of a ball like her. No one would have expected that her mother would become the woman Uncle Jiang wanted to marry.
To him, regardless of whether it was her or her mother, they were probably no different from the gold-diggers outside.
Ever since that day, the way he looked at her was as cold as ice, as though it could pierce through a person's bones, just like now.
After entering the luxurious room, Jiang Zuo exerted force with his wrist, pressing the person in front of him into the sofa. Then he bent down and lowered his body, his voice ringing in Xue Yaoyao's ears. "I really underestimated your ability to recognize people. Why? Now that Young Master Fu isn't important to you, you're starting to change him? " “
Xue Yaoyao clenched her fists. "This has nothing to do with His Highness Jiu! “
Looking at Xue Yaoyao's expression, Jiang Zuo's gaze turned cold. "You treasure him so much? Heh, what do you think he would think if he knew what you are like? " “
Xue Yaoyao's gaze met Jiang Zuo's, and there was no room for resistance. "I have always thought that this contract is between the two of us. When we were together, we agreed to keep it a secret. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to the contract."
"Yes, everything you said is right." Jiang Zuo sneered, his fingers pinching Xue Yaoyao's chin. He bit down on her lips, his voice cold. "But don't forget who begged me to agree to this contract." “
Xue Yaoyao knew that she had no right to refute his words.
"If that Young Master Fu knew that you have done so much for him, would he be touched, or would he be like me and feel that you are pestering him?" Jiang Zuo's fingers slid down her chin, into her collar. "It's a pity that no matter who you pester, you won't pester him to the end." “
The coldness from her collarbone made Xue Yaoyao shudder. Her fingers tightened naturally, her brows furrowed.
Jiang Zuo didn't like her expression. It was as though she was tolerating something and hadn't really accepted him.
His gaze turned even colder. "Why? You aren't even willing for me to touch you now? "
Xue Yaoyao knew that if she wasn't willing, Jiang Zuo wouldn't take another step forward.
Just like now, he had already stopped. Even though his breath still lingered on her lips and nose, at least his hand that was about to cover her had stopped.
This gave Xue Yaoyao a chance to talk rationally.
"I just saw you with a very beautiful person." This was what she wanted to say this time.
What was unbelievable was that Jiang Zuo seemed to have recovered a little. His lips curved upwards, his beautiful eyes looking at her. It wasn't clear whether it was playful or sarcastic. "Jealous?"
Only then did Xue Yaoyao realize that he had misunderstood something. She immediately explained, "No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, just like what we said in the contract, if you have someone you like, tell me and we'll end this relationship. Otherwise, you'll hurt a third person. Plus, if you have someone you like, you'll probably hate doing this with me, right? “
For some reason, his side profile suddenly turned cold. "You don't have to remind me about such things. Just like what you said, if I have someone I like, I definitely won't want to touch you again. I will inform you when the time comes." “
Xue Yaoyao's voice faded, and she smiled as though a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She looked as though she had heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zuo didn't seem to have the slightest interest. He retracted his hand and lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers. "Aren't you a little too self-conscious?" “
