Outside the private room, Meng Sangsang pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop, but heard nothing.

Qin Xuan leaned against the side smoking, then reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her close. He raised an eyebrow and said, "How come I never knew you had a habit of squatting in the corner?"

"Hmph, what do you know? I want to see if they've developed any feelings for each other over this trivial matter. If Ah Li gets bullied, I'll rush in to save her the moment she's in trouble."

"Don't meddle in other young couples' business. What do you mean by 'a day apart feels like three autumns'? They're probably busy right now."

"Busy with that thing, huh?"

Meng Sangsang's gossipy nature was aroused; her eyes darted around, eager to eavesdrop.

Qin Xuan thought she was a pervert and quickly led her away.

"Hey, don't grab me. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Can you please stop touching me like that every time?"

"Would you listen if I didn't use my hands and feet? This place isn't fun. I'll take you to a more fun place."

Where?

You'll know when you get there.

Qin Xuan brought Meng Sangsang to the dance hall, where the atmosphere was lively, completely different from the private rooms upstairs.

The music was very loud, deafening, and men and women swayed wildly on the dance floor, enjoying a life of extravagance that was hard to leave behind.

Meng Sangsang leaned close to Qin Xuan's ear and shouted, "Why did you bring me here? I don't want to dance!"

"Let me show you how to relax," Qin Xuan replied loudly.

He pulled her onto the dance floor and asked her to dance too.

Meng Sangsang wasn't in the mood to dance, but after being encouraged by him, she became eager to try.

Several girls came over and pulled her over to dance with them.

That jump was incredible; it really got me hyped.

Qin Xuan leaned against the table, picked up his glass of wine, took a small sip, and a wicked smile spread across his lips.

Meng Sangsang moved with ease on the dance floor and quickly became the focus of attention.

She danced and jumped around energetically, unrestrained and passionate, like a little enchantress drawing the attention of the men present.

Qin Xuan was completely engrossed in watching.

A man walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Young Master Qin, is that the little girl you brought over? She seems to be having a lot of fun dancing."

He didn't say anything, but took a sip of his drink.

The other person thought he didn't care, so he said with a smile, "Then I'll go dance with her. This little girl is really to my liking. After playing here for so long, I've finally found someone I like."

The man tried to walk away, but Qin Xuan raised his hand to stop him.

Qin Xuan patted the other person's chest, "She's under my protection, you can go cool off somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, the man touched his nose and slunk away.

Meng Sangsang ran over and pulled Qin Xuan over with her, saying, "I can't just jump by myself while you're idle, come along."

"You brat, I can't dance."

"Then you should do the duck dance, hahaha."

Inside the private room.

A lone man and a lone woman in a room, and their desires ignited.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise gradually subsided.

Su Li lay in Quan Ye's arms, her little face as rosy as a peach.

Quan Ye looked satisfied and gently patted her shoulder. "Your grandfather doesn't like us being together. Will we have to keep doing this sneaking around from now on?"

She looked up at him and said, "I will help you clear up the misunderstanding. When the truth about my parents and Zhou Kai's death is found out, Grandpa will not have such a big problem with you."

“I don’t care what he thinks of me, I’m just worried that I can’t be with you.”

Su Li felt a warmth in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a pang of heartache for him.

She stroked his handsome face, her fingertips moving from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then to his thin lips...

Every part of it made her swoon.

"Quan Ye, do you love me?"
