"Grab her! Stop right there!"
Behind her, several burly men were tracking Yixin relentlessly.
She supported herself with one hand on the bar and executed a beautiful aerial flip-over it, drawing countless cheers and whistles from the bar. However, she had no time to pay attention to these. Instead, she ran towards the door at her earliest convenience.
It was just her bad luck that she happened to encounter unruly customers trying to force themselves on her while she was covering for her friend, Xiaoling Ling's shift.
She merely reacted instinctively to defend herself, she didn't anticipate the strength and accidentally dislocated the man's arm, thereby triggering this chase from bodyguards.
Yixin knew if she was caught, the outcome would be terrible. Not only would she be unable to protect her friend's job, but her whereabouts might also be exposed to 'that person'.
With the thought of 'that person', a slight prick of pain crossed her chest and she tries her best to escape outwards.
In her twenty years of life, she had never been as humiliated as today!
As Yixin tirelessly manuevered through obstacles ahead, she realised there were already people occupying the doorway, seemingly waiting for her to walk directly into the trap.
"Darn it!"
Yixin made an emergency stop and looked around.
Blocked exit ahead, pursuers behind, and the right side appeared to have disturbed the bar management. Only the left side had an opening, yet,
Yixin knew, the left led to the restrooms!
And it was the men's restroom!
What should she do?
"Quick! Over there! Huang Shao has mentioned that whoever catches her will receive ten thousand each!"
Listening to the cries of the men in black, a cold smirk crossed Yixin's lips.
So, she was actually worth that much!
She just wondered what expressions would certain people show if they knew she was currently being priced at ten thousand.
Anger?
Or maybe a scoffing laugh?
In a split second, a bewitching face appeared in Yixin's mind, but she quickly made a decision.
She gave a slight smile to those men, and to everyone's astonishment, she turned left and kicked open the door of the men's restroom. Then, with a swift motion, she locked the door.
Safe for now!
She heaved a light sigh of relief, but suddenly felt the surrounding air rapidly solidifying into ice and continuously dropping in temperature.
This pressure, this momentum, were simply on a par with that man!
Yixin took a deep breath, striving to put on an innocent smile. After all, it was impolite to dash into the men's toilet and disturb someone.
"Please excuse me, Sir. I am just borrowing this place for a while. I will leave soon!"
With a smile on her face, Yixin looked up, but froze completely when her eyes met the man's face.
Every facial feature was simply a gift from God. His intoxicating phoenix eyes held a touch of mischief, bringing about an irresistible charm. However, in his eyes, Yixin could see two balls of red flames burning.
Oh, come on!
Why is she so unlucky?
Why would the person she's been avoiding appear here?
Yixin subconsciously turns around and starts to run. However, she suddenly feels choked, as if her collar was strangling her.
How cruel!
After five years, he was still as merciless to her as ever!
Yixin felt her heartache slightly, but there was no time to dwell on it. Swiftly, she unbuttons her coat and throws her arms back, wriggling away as swiftly as a loach.
Meanwhile, all that was left in the man's hands was her coat.
Even though she was now only in a tank top, Yixin was still scared to look back or stop. She ran towards the door as swiftly as the wind.
Given the choice between facing this man and the burly men outside, she would rather face the latter, which seemed less intimidating.
"Yixin!"
Finally, the man behind her speaks, his voice filled with indescribable coldness and rage.
She knew she had angered him.
But what of it?
She had had the guts to run away from him five years ago, and she never intended to return to his side.
"Gong Qing! Gong, go on!"
Having reached the door, Yi Xin, seeing victory in sight, suddenly turns back to give Gong Qing a tiny smile before reaching out to open the door. But suddenly, she feels disheartened.
Damn it!
Who locked the door?
In that moment, she feels the urge to bash her own head against the wall.
As Yi Xin is trying to fumble and open the door in frustration, she suddenly feels a gust of wind from behind.
Yi Xin knows that she doesn't have time to open the door anymore.
"Gong!"
She unexpectedly turns around, not even trying to hide, standing there, her eyes wide open watching Gong Qing's furious fist head towards her face.
He has always been strong, his solid muscles and wild aura always able to strike fear into people.
But Yi Xin forces herself to calm down, courageously facing his fist.
With a "bang", Gong Qing's fist smashes against the door, narrowly missing Yi Xin's ear, making her heart seize up and almost stopping her breath.
"Still planning on running?"
Gong Qing tries hard to suppress his anger but his eyes have already become a whirlwind of emotion.
Looking at Gong Qing fearlessly, Yi Xin raises an eyebrow, smiles like a blossoming flower, and crisply says one word.
"Thinking!"
"Do you believe I could break your legs?"
"Believe!"
Facing the furious Gong Qing, Yi Xin continues smiling, but the next moment she feels a shadow approaching, then her lips are stolen.
