Chapter 380: Entering Shengshi (10)
Just as everyone was still recovering, Xu Muyi had already pulled open the door and rushed out.
With a loud "bang", it made everyone’s ears ache.
Yet Sheng Jianan, as if nothing happened, was calmly discussing techniques and grand ideas with Tang Yanqi.
Tang Yanqi couldn’t listen anymore and tugged at Sheng Jianan’s sleeve: "Aren’t you going to check on her?"
A flick landed on her head: "Playing generous again?"
Tang Yanqi said calmly, "It’s late, she’s a girl, if something happens... it’s not good."
Sheng Jianan turned her head in another direction, and only then did Tang Yanqi realize that Mu Yunfan, who was supposed to play ball with Zhou Chengze, had already disappeared somewhere.
With Xu Muyi’s sudden act, the remaining people lost their interest too, lazily lounging on the sofa chatting idly.
Qi Cheng pulled Tang Yanqi to the restroom, looking excited as soon as they were out of the door: "Tangtang, you were awesome! You didn’t see that girl’s face; it was like she had swallowed a fly."
Before Tang Yanqi said anything, Qi continued indignantly: "She doesn’t even see her own worth and dares to flirt with a married man in front of his wife. I just saw the look on your male idol’s face, it was stinky, haha, Tangtang, you enjoyed it, didn’t you?"
Tang Yanqi smiled and didn’t speak. Perhaps because she didn’t care, she genuinely didn’t get much satisfaction from it. But Sheng Jianan’s protective demeanor was etched into her mind.
Her heart felt sweet.
Arriving at the restroom, Tang Yanqi didn’t go in, instead washed her hands at the sink outside, gazing at herself in the mirror. It wasn’t vanity; she felt she’d become prettier, her skin now more radiant.
There seemed always a hint of tenderness and joy in her eyes. People say appearances reflect the heart — is it because of happiness recently, even her face looks like it carries a smile?
Tang Yanqi curved her lips, lowered her head, and washed her hands.
"Yanqi?"
A voice came from behind, and Tang Yanqi quickly looked up to see through the mirror’s reflection who it was.
"Senior?"
Lu Qilin, dressed in a black long coat, looked a bit haggard and had lost weight, standing behind Tang Yanqi, smiled at her: "Didn’t expect to see you here, having fun?"
Tang Yanqi nodded slightly: "Senior, are you... not doing well lately?"
Qi Cheng hadn’t come out yet, even though Tang Yanqi kept distance because of Bai Bing, remembering Lu Qilin helped her a lot back then.
Seeing Lu Qilin’s noticeably thinner figure and weary face, she couldn’t help but ask with concern.
Lu Qilin was as gentle as ever, reached out and ruffled Tang Yanqi’s hair: "No worries, just busy with work recently."
Tang Yanqi remembered Sheng Jianan’s words; he didn’t like other men touching her hair. But it was too sudden to dodge, and when Lu Qilin withdrew his hand, she instinctively took a step back.
The two were not in front of the sink but in the corridor, and as Tang Yanqi stepped back, she accidentally collided with a waiter carrying drinks, spilling beverages on herself and getting her feet tripped.
Lu Qilin quickly and adeptly pulled Tang Yanqi into his arms.
The waiter apologized repeatedly: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Miss, are you okay?"
Tang Yanqi got some drink on her, but it wasn’t a big deal; she didn’t quite understand the situation until she heard Lu Qilin speak: "Charge this order to room 621."
