C159

Inside the bedroom, Lu Juyan was unsettled as he looked at the documents on the table that he took out from his briefcase. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit more tranquil. Even his breathing slowed down a bit, and for some reason, he wanted to hear the sounds outside the door clearly.

Outside the bedroom, Du Yanqing who was holding onto the phone glanced at Lu Juyan's room door. Seeing that he had no intention of coming out, Du Yanqing did not intend to tell him about it. Picking up the bag and the keys to the table, he changed his shoes in the hallway, turned off the light, and left the place.

"Bam!" The sound of the door closing echoed. Lu Juyan who was sitting in the bedroom could no longer stay still and suddenly stood up from his chair. Pulling open the door, he looked into the dark living room in front of him. His pupils suddenly dilated as he followed the moonlight to the entrance of the hall and pressed on the light switch. The white light shone on the surroundings, but Du Yanqing did not appear.

In that instant, Lu Juyan's gaze landed on the door to Du Yanqing's room, and unknowingly walked forward, a look of anticipation flashing past his eyes. Twisting the door open, he still did not see Du Yanqing. The corner of his lips curled up into a sneer, and a trace of maliciousness flashed in his eyes. He shut the door with great force, making a loud noise. The ill-tempered neighbor next door scolded him, "Who is it, closing the door so loudly? Don't you know what time it is?!"

However, Lu Juyan just sat there on the sofa as if he had turned a deaf ear. His face was so gloomy that it was like the charm in the middle of the night, which made people shiver. Clenching his fists tightly, the veins on his hands popped up one after another. However, he didn't make any excessive movements, as if he was a wild beast trapped in the forest, ready to explode at any time.

Downstairs, Du Yanqing hurriedly walked to the side of the street, and did not notice the light that lit up the upper floor of the rented house. He stopped a taxi and got into the back seat. He showed the address of his phone's text message to the driver and reminded him, "Driver, please hurry up!"

The reason was because she was afraid that Zhan Ziye's bad wine would cause a series of other problems. She didn't want to stay in the bar at night and discuss about life with the boss, so she looked towards the sky outside the window with a complicated feeling in her heart.

The thick gray clouds blocked the light of the moon, and the stars in the sky disappeared into the clouds. She had a faint feeling that the weather would rain, but she did not know that in her own house, Lu Juyan, who was constantly emitting a dark aura, was currently feeling exceptionally gloomy.

In the bar, Zhan Ziye lied in his private room like a lord, lowering his head from time to time, looking at his watch, quietly waiting for Du Yanqing's appearance. He picked up the goblet and swirled the wine in it for a while before taking a sip. Whether intentionally or not, there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her lips, which, when paired with her exquisite facial features, made her seem extremely charming.

"Young Master Zhan, I've done what you told me to do." The bartender turned around and saw that Zhan Ziye's fair skin was especially breathtaking under the light. It made him faintly feel that he was even more beautiful than a beauty. The phone in his hand vibrated, causing him to look away. Lowering his gaze, he returned the phone to Zhan Ziye and spoke naturally.

"Mhmm, bring them in when you get here." Zhan Ziye took the expensive phone in her hands and looked at the message on it. Although she did not receive Du Yanqing's reply, she was inexplicably confident that she would appear. Ye Zichen casually took out a tip from his pocket and handed it to the waiter. The alcohol on the corner of his mouth made him sit up out of habit, so he took out a piece of white paper from the exquisite glass table and wiped it.

The waiter took the tip, and while paying attention to Zhan Ziye's actions, he felt a bit disappointed, as if he was looking forward to it but the other party was not able to do it. His body paused for a second before he realized that there was something wrong with his thoughts. He lowered his gaze. He walked under the dim light, hiding his slightly flushed cheeks, and quickly left the place.

"Thank you very much." The driver stopped the car near the bar, and took the chance to unlock the door, then looked at the money Du Yanqing handed him. Noticing her exquisite facial features, he faintly felt a sigh for her from the bottom of his heart. Without saying anything, he shook his head and drove away.

Du Yanqing did not notice the expression of the driver before he left, and quickly walked into the pub. It was unknown if the color of the lights could make the bar more noisy, or if many people's night lives were too lustful, causing Du Yanqing to faintly feel uncomfortable when he walked in. She frowned slightly and waved her hand at the tip of her nose, trying to dissipate the smell of alcohol in the air.

The sound inside the bar was loud, giving Du Yanqing a deafening feeling. His line of sight landed on the stage, and he noticed an exquisite looking woman dancing in the striptease. Her clothes could only cover a spot that she shouldn't show in the past. The people below the stage were still shouting, "Take, take, take off!"

The noisy feeling made Du Yanqing feel very agitated, only by walking to a corner would he feel better. After looking around, he did not see any signs of Zhan Ziye. She faintly felt that Zhan Ziye would not stay in this kind of scene any longer, so her gaze landed on the road in the private room that was not far away.

A young servant just happened to walk out from that road. Du Yanqing walked over in large strides and grabbed his arm. A complex expression flashed across her face, and she anxiously asked: "May I ask if you know where Zhan Ziye is?"

She really wanted to bring Zhan Ziye out of this place. She felt that the people in the bar were a mix of fish and dragons, making her unwilling to get too close to them to prevent unnecessary accidents.

"Please come with me." The waiter had just brought a pot of melon fruits to Zhan Ziye's room. The other party had specifically instructed him to return shortly after. He turned his head to look at the woman who was grabbing onto his arm, and instantly guessed that she was the woman Zhan Ziye had been waiting for. A complicated emotion flashed in his eyes, but he did not fail his mission as he led them towards the private room.

This caused Du Yanqing to secretly heave a sigh of relief. She did not notice whether or not the lady on stage had finished taking off her clothes, she only faintly noticed that the atmosphere in the bar had become even more rowdy.

Du Yanqing followed the waiter into the private room, and looked at Zhan Ziye who was sitting upright, not a single trace of drunkenness could be seen on his face. Anger flared up in his eyes, and he suddenly had the urge to leave.

The servant by the side saw the happiness that flashed past Zhan Ziye's eyes, and felt that it was weird. Just as Du Yanqing wanted to escape, he closed the door.
