Chapter 75 His ATM Master seems... to be angry.
While Xia Mian was lost in thought, Xu Ning had already changed into a light blue silk nightgown, applied perfume to the cuffs, lower back, and back of her knees, checked her makeup several times in the mirror, and then left the room.
Yicheng has been busy these past few days, either negotiating business deals or being called out for social engagements and card games. Feeling sorry for Yicheng, he decided to wear his pretty pajamas and surprise him.
I accidentally glimpsed the room information on my boyfriend's screen. It was definitely this hotel, but he couldn't quite remember the room number, only that it was on the first floor.
He planned to look for it himself first, and only call his boyfriend if he couldn't find it. But while searching, he accidentally wandered into the hot spring area.
"Excuse me, sir," the waiter quickly stopped him as he walked to the innermost part of the bath. "You can't use this private hot spring. You can try the other hot spring pools; they're all quite good."
"Can't I soak? Why? I'm a Black Gold member of your hotel. You can check the system. How can there be places I can't access in a regular members' hotel?"
"Sir, the hotel has rules that you cannot enter."
"Don't let a fart in!" Xu Ning focused her energy, took advantage of the waiter's momentary lapse in attention, and rushed inside in one breath.
Then, when I saw summer hibernation, I felt terrible.
"Fine, fine, you say I can't come in? You're only stopping me, why aren't you stopping him?!" Xu Ning pointed at Xia Mian and asked angrily.
The two in the room were already at the height of their battle, and Xu Ning might not be able to handle it. Xia Mian put on a bathrobe and pulled Xu Ning, saying, "This private bath isn't very effective, and I don't want to soak in it anymore. Let's go soak in something else."
Xu Ning wouldn't listen; the places Xia Mian forbade him to go, he wanted to go even more: "Mind your own business!"
He shook off Xia Mian and strode quickly into the depths of the private hot spring. As he walked, he heard a familiar voice, and his steps froze on the spot.
OK.
This time there's no need to stop them; they can't be stopped anyway.
Following the direction of the sound, Xu Ning ran directly into the passageway, found the room from which the sound came, and pounded on the door.
Inside, things were at a critical juncture. After a while, Liu Yicheng opened the door, pulling up his pants with one hand, and asked in an annoyed tone, "Who is it... Ningning, what brings you here?"
"I've come to interrupt your good time! Who's that little bitch inside? Tell her to get out here!"
Liu Yicheng frowned: "Stop arguing, let's talk about this when we get back."
"Why go back and say that? Are you afraid I'll beat him up? Liu Yicheng, you're still protecting him now. Make him get out here right now."
"Enough!" Xu Ning responded with a furious outburst. "This is a public place. Can you please stop yelling and have some manners? I've put up with you for a very, very long time."
Unexpectedly, he would scold her. Xu Ning clutched the hem of her clothes and stood there in a daze.
Is this still the boyfriend who promised to be with her for life? Xu Ning became more and more heartbroken as she thought about it. She bit her lip, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks like a broken string.
Sighing as she witnessed the dramatic scene of catching someone in the act of adultery: As expected, Xu Ning couldn't be expected to do anything to vent her anger.
He appears arrogant on the surface, but in reality, he's a complete weakling.
"Alright, get a room and rest for a bit. Third Master and Young Master Cheng are waiting for me to play cards. I'll come find you after I'm done with them." With that, Liu Yicheng made a move to close the door. He needed to tidy himself up; his clothes were all wrinkled from earlier.
But it wasn't closed—an arm suddenly reached out and pressed against the door frame: "Who has worse manners, cheating on their boyfriend in public?"
Liu Yicheng, not knowing who had suddenly appeared to interfere, frowned and looked towards the door. When he saw that face, his frown disappeared, his anger subsided, and he even showed a hint of panic: "Xia Mian, you're in Tongshan too. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Xia Mian scoffed. "What I heard at the private hot spring was also a hallucination?"
Liu Yicheng immediately broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
It seems things won't end well today.
But he couldn't bring himself to get angry or violent towards Xia Mian, especially since Xia Mian had another identity. After weighing the options for a moment, he swallowed his pride and said, "I was confused today. I couldn't resist the temptation. I'll explain everything to you properly after I'm done with this."
Xu Ning was almost crying her eyes out, but she had to wait until she was done before she could explain. Xia Mian was not satisfied and planned to continue arguing.
Being seen in such a vulnerable state by someone he admired filled Liu Er with anger and frustration. He just wanted to close the door quickly and didn't even notice Xia Mian's hand on the door frame.
The next moment, there was a hissing sound, and that hand swelled up like a bear's paw!
Everyone present was completely stunned.
"Quick, quick, find a doctor!"
The waiter was the first to react. Xu Ning quickly wiped her face, took out her phone, and shakily dialed 120 to recount the injured person's condition to the doctor.
Liu Er was so frightened that he didn't even have time to fasten his pants. He immediately tried to grab Xia Mian to see what was wrong with his hands.
Unfortunately, before they could catch him, a male voice suddenly came from deep in the corridor: "Liu Er."
The voice was deep and chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spine: "Stay away from him."
***
Because the area around Tongshan is small, the ambulance Xu Ning called arrived quickly.
After the most painful few minutes passed, Xia Mian carefully examined the area where she had been pinched and concluded it was just a superficial injury, not serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. However, Xu Ning was still worried, so Xia Mian had no choice but to go with him in the ambulance.
Zhou Pingchuan followed.
Xu Ning was unaware of the relationship between Xia Mian and Third Master. The two stared at each other, bewildered.
Because of Zhou Pingchuan's presence, the air pressure inside the ambulance was extremely low the whole way, which frightened Xu Ning so much that she didn't dare to cry too loudly. She bit her lip and sobbed like a broken little dog.
"Waaah... I'm so sorry, Xia Mian... It's all my fault."
"Yeah, it's all your fault," Xia Mian gritted her teeth. "If you had gone up and punched him twice, then given him a flying kick, I wouldn't have gotten my hand caught in the sand!"
"I...I didn't quite realize it. He's always been so good to me. He took me to see the sunrise at Mount Fuji, went skiing in Hokkaido, and introduced me to his parents. I'm the only guy he's ever brought home..."
That's because your family has liquid assets, you big idiot!
Xu Ning cried miserably, and Xia Mian couldn't bear to scold him, but she was disappointed in him: "You're a man yourself, don't you know what men are like? I've made it clear to you. In short, don't believe a man's words in the future, look at his actions."
For example, some people keep saying they want to marry you, but now they don't say a word, and the blueprints for the wedding house are sent to them by friends.
Thinking of this, Xia Mian secretly glanced at the opposite side.
Zhou Pingchuan placed his hands together on the top of the antler staff, and was also looking at him.
His gaze was cold and brooding, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression, making Xia Mian quickly look away, feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Was he mistaken? Zhou Pingchuan's face darkened considerably.
Xia Mian suddenly had a bad feeling—his ATM seemed to be... angry.
