Chu Ningxuan waved awkwardly and slunk away.
Lu Jingyan told Shi Wan to sit in the private room for a while, and then went to the next private room to greet Chu Ningyi.
The brothers Chu Ningyi and Chu Ningxuan are the new generation of heirs of the Chu family. Chu Ningxuan's father retired early and handed the company over to his two sons. However, Chu Ningxuan was unwilling to inherit the family business and instead opened an entertainment club.
Chu Ningyi could only take over all the family businesses, and spent most of the year abroad, rarely returning to China.
This time, the Chu family was going to move some of their businesses back to China. They also heard from Chu Ningxuan that Wu Wang's students had appeared in the capital. They had been trying to obtain Wu Wang's works for many years without success, so they planned to return to China to buy some calligraphy and paintings from his students for their collection.
Shi Wan quietly enjoyed the song and dance performances in the banquet hall, unaware of the figure that suddenly appeared behind her.
A dark shadow slowly enveloped Shi Wan, who was sitting in the chair. The person who was still immersed in the program was pulled back to her senses by the sudden movement.
She glanced up at the person who had entered; it was a waiter. Her thoughts interrupted, Shi Wan ignored it and continued looking at the stage.
At that moment, a dark glint flashed across the waiter's eyes, and then a loud cracking sound of shattering glass brought Shi Wan back to her senses.
"Ah... I'm so sorry, Miss Shi, I'll clean it right away!" The waiter kept his head down, his expression inscrutable, and apologized.
At this moment, the manager rushed in and saw the mess on the floor. He loudly reprimanded the waiter who had been there, then bowed slightly and smiled respectfully at Shi Wan, "Ms. Shi, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment. These waiters are newly hired and still a bit inexperienced, so please bear with us. We have prepared a clean private room for you next door. The cleaning process might spoil your mood, so why don't we go to the private room next door and wait for them to finish cleaning before coming back?"
Shi Wan glanced at the water stains and glass shards on the floor, frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone, unaffected by the other person, "Yes, clean it up as soon as possible. President Lu will be back soon."
"Yes, yes, Miss Shi, please come this way. I will clean that private room as soon as possible!" The waiter bowed his head respectfully.
As soon as she entered the private room, Shi Wan smelled a faint fragrance and frowned. After glancing around and seeing that no one was in the room, she slowly stepped inside.
Before going in, he reminded the waiter to ask Lu Jingyan to come to the new private room when he returned.
The new private room is located at the very end of the corridor on the second floor. The view is not as good as the previous private room, but you can still see a corner of the stage downstairs.
Shi Wan felt a little annoyed, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Ji Meng, "Mengmeng, when are you done? Let's go eat hot pot later?"
Staring at the circle that had been spinning around for a while, Shi Wan idly clicked on the students' daily rehearsal video before the competition, repeatedly picking out the moves that were easy to make mistakes in the video and carefully recording them.
Perhaps it was because the room was too dimly lit or because she was too tired from watching, Shi Wan felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. She felt that the private room was more private and that no one would easily barge in, so Shi Wan lazily lay on the sofa chair and squinted her eyes.
Hearing a noise in the room in a daze, she thought it was Lu Jingyan. A few strands of hair behind her ears were loose and she groggily reached out her hand and said lazily, "Lu Jingyan... sleepy... let's go home..."
The shadowy figure in front of her seemed to pause for a moment upon hearing the sound, its gaze fixed on Shi Wan, who was rubbing her eyes.
Feeling bored in the private room, Feng Yunzhou went out to the corridor for a smoke. He saw a waiter leading Shi Wan to another room, without Lu Jingyan following behind.
With his dark pupils fixed on Shi Wan, who was reclining on the sofa, Feng Yunzhou felt a nameless irritation well up inside him.
The dress she wore today perfectly showcased her sexy figure, with her slender, snow-white neck and rounded shape below, making Feng Yunzhou's dry throat roll.
Perhaps the person on the other end wasn't responding, or perhaps the strange scent in the room made her feel uncomfortable.
As Shi Wan slowly regained consciousness, her eyes fixed on the person in front of her. Suddenly, her pupils dilated; it wasn't the faint fragrance unique to Lu Jingyan. She was about to withdraw her outstretched hand when the person opposite her pulled her away.
Shi Wan cried out in pain, "What are you doing! Are you sick?"
"Am I sick?" Feng Yunzhou's eyes were bloodshot and ferocious. He grabbed Shi Wan and whispered seductively in her ear, "Xiao Wan, are you with Lu Jingyan to avoid me?"
With his other hand, he placed it on Shi Wan's heart, uttering each word slowly and deliberately, "Tell me, you still love me, hmm? Xiao Wan?"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips, like a wild beast eyeing its prey. In the blink of an eye, his burning body heat forcefully pressed Shi Wan between him and the sofa.
Shi Wan struggled violently in the man's arms, her eyes gradually turning bloodshot. "Feng Yunzhou, me? Love you? What right does a liar have?"
Suppressing her fear, she didn't let Feng Yunzhou's face get close to her, her voice slightly hoarse, "Lu Jingyan made our relationship public, and he accompanies me to work and rehabilitation training every day. Have you done any of these things?"
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared coldly at him. "He saved me a year ago, and back then, you were only thinking about your fiancée. What right do you have to judge my relationship with Lu Jingyan!"
Feng Yunzhou's eyes grew even more sinister, and his low, hoarse voice carried a hint of morbidity, "Xiao Wan, come back to me. Let's go back to Y Country together. Let me love you, and we can be like before. Lu Jingyan was just playing around with you."
"You're crazy! Playing around? I'm willing to play along with him." Shi Wan stared at Feng Yunzhou with a hint of sarcasm.
Feng Yunzhou paused, pressing down on Shi Wan's body. Upon hearing her words, his previously gloomy and frightening eyes instantly turned bloodshot. "No, Xiao Wan, you are mine, you always have been, and you still are. You can only be with me!"
"Are you crazy?!" Shi Wan didn't intend to explain too much to the madman in front of her. Taking advantage of the chaos, she quickly reached out and pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair bun, then turned sideways and forcefully stabbed it into Feng Yunzhou's arm.
The sudden pain made Feng Yunzhou release his grip, and Shi Wan took the opportunity to escape Feng Yunzhou's hold. She endured the discomfort and glanced back at Feng Yunzhou, who was still in a daze.
Shi Wan's eyes were bloodshot with anger as she stared at Feng Yunzhou with a hint of mockery. "Feng Yunzhou, instead of worrying about other people's girlfriends, you should worry about your own fiancée!"
Shi Wan took a USB drive out of her bag and threw it at Feng Yunzhou. Then she pushed open the door and went out. The burning sensation in her chest became more and more intense. If she stayed any longer, she would suffocate.
Left in the private room, Feng Yunzhou clenched his fists, staring at the door with a gloomy expression, and muttered, "Xiao Wan, you can't leave me without my permission."
