Chapter 13 Threat
Finally, night fell.
Li Qianni put on her most expensive and beautiful light pink shiny dress, dressing herself up like a delicate porcelain doll.
Taking Ren Xuening's arm, she went to the hotel Shi Jin had told her about.
She knew that this hotel belonged to the Shi family.
So when she walked into the hotel, she always felt a sense of prestige, like she was the hotel's owner.
Every smile and frown was perfectly poised and graceful.
He remained calm despite the lobby manager's appraising and envious gaze.
"Miss Li, please follow me..."
"OK."
Ren Xuening, standing next to Li Qianni, clearly looked timid.
He whispered excitedly in her ear, "Qianni, this is my first time in such a nice hotel. I heard that a night here costs at least five figures!"
Li Qianni patted Ren Xuening's hand to comfort her, "Xuening, I'll tell Shi Jin later that you can stay in the most expensive presidential suite in this hotel tonight, so you can experience what it means to be rich and extravagant."
"Really? Qianni, you're so good to me!"
As they talked, they were led to a dreamy private room filled with flowers and balloons.
The room was already filled with Shi Jin's friends and Li Qianni's friends.
Upon seeing the female protagonist suddenly appear at the door, they all swarmed around her.
They chattered amongst themselves, saying, "Li Qianni, you look so beautiful today! Young Master Shi Jin will definitely like you even more when he sees you!"
The people who come here are all close friends, so they all know about Shi Jin's feelings for Li Qianni.
"Although Shi Jin didn't say anything, only that we should come over, anyone with eyes can see that this room is decorated like it's for a confession of love. Qianni, you mustn't be so moved that you burst into tears later!"
Hearing their envious or teasing tone, Li Qianni felt secretly pleased, and a shy expression appeared on her face.
She had already planned out what kind of emotional expression she should make and what she should say in response to Shi Jin's confession.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked curiously, "Hey, where's Shi Shao? Why isn't he out yet? Is he too nervous to walk because his legs are shaking?"
Everyone burst into laughter, creating a very relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
But no one would suspect that Shi Jin wasn't too nervous to come out, but rather that someone had completely thwarted his plans...
...
Inside the restroom next to the private room.
Shi Jin angrily grabbed Bai Zhenzhu by the neck, his already cold-blooded eyes filled with murderous intent.
He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Bai Zhenzhu, who gave you the audacity to scheme against me!"
Bai Zhenzhu stared slyly at Shi Jin's handsome features, raised an eyebrow slightly, and breathed out a soft, sexy, and provocative tone, saying, "Shi Jin, as long as you behave and don't confess to Li Qianni today, I'll secretly deal with these photos myself, and I promise I'll forget everything about that night~"
Looking at the shameless woman in front of him, who didn't even blush or skip a beat, Shi Jin felt a deep sense of disgust.
What if I don't listen?
His eyes were red, and he asked in a fierce voice.
Bai Zhenzhu scoffed lightly, seemingly unconcerned about the anger and disgust in his eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Disobedience will be punished, you know. I'll send these explicit photos to the woman you like. Do you think she'll break up with you in a fit of anger if she sees these photos?"
Bai Zhenzhu made the right bet. Although Shi Jin was a wild man, he was helpless against this cunning little fox and had no choice but to compromise.
"Tell me, why?!"
Bai Zhenzhu rolled her cunning eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars in the night sky, and said with a hint of truth in her voice, "Because I like you, Shi Jin~"
Shi Jin paused for a second, but quickly regained his composure.
Could this woman really have done such a terrible thing just because she likes him?
They drugged him with sleeping pills, secretly took intimate photos of the two of them in bed, and used this to threaten him into not confessing his feelings to Li Qianni.
Even if there's an element of liking involved, it's not much; there are probably other shady reasons at play.
He simply couldn't believe it.
Therefore, he was convinced that she was lying and angrily rebuked her: "Bai Zhenzhu, I told you to put away your bad intentions. I, Shi Jin, will not fall for your tricks!"
White Pearl smiled.
Not only because Shi Jin was as cautious as his name suggests, but also because of the way he solemnly rejected her.
She didn't continue the topic, but instead turned to threaten Shi Jin: "Shi Jin, I'm only giving you three minutes to think it over. You choose: be a deserter or a scumbag."
It seems like they gave Shi Jin the right to choose, but in reality, they were crushing his self-esteem.
He Shi Jin had never suffered such humiliation.
The hand gripping her neck tightened again, and Bai Zhenzhu's smug smile vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of unbearable pain.
Only a few hoarse, indistinct sounds escaped his throat: "Shi, Shi Jin, you, I..."
Feeling his own breath growing weaker and weaker, he was about to roll his eyes upwards.
With her last ounce of strength, Bai Zhenzhu lifted her phone, holding up the photo she had just seen, ready to click send...
Upon seeing this, Shi Jin immediately released his grip, took a step back, and glared fiercely at Bai Zhenzhu.
Several finger marks immediately appeared on Bai Zhenzhu's fair skin. She took a few deep breaths and coughed a few times.
Then, with a sickly smile, she looked at Shi Jin and said, "Shi Jin, I know you're planning to desert, aren't you?"
Shi Jin just stared at her without answering.
But Bai Zhenzhu knew that he had tacitly agreed.
She took a step forward with unsteady steps, touched the corner of his lips with her finger, and said with a coquettish laugh, "Shi Jin, one day you'll thank me for my threat today, because... you'll fall in love with me sooner or later and become my Bai Zhenzhu's devoted follower..."
Shi Jin abruptly shook off her hand.
Suppressing his anger, he growled, "Bai Zhenzhu, I, Shi Jin, will never fall for a woman like you who uses any means necessary!"
"Yeah?"
White Pearl let out a light chuckle, her laughter unrestrained and mocking.
"Shi Jin, don't speak too soon, or you'll be proven wrong later~"
