Chapter 457 Two Unfortunate Souls (1)

Xiao Rufeng knew that she was somewhat lucky that the man who came to see her tonight was a decent man. She also knew that if he was like any other man who viewed women as a plaything, she was utterly doomed for the rest of her life. Still, she knew that she cannot lower her guard just yet and that she needed to keep an eye on this mysterious man.

"Please say something." She said, forcing herself to stay awake and not fall asleep. It didn't help that her whole body felt good after the massage she received earlier and the scent of the room was lulling her to sleep.

"What do you want me to say?" The man asked her instead.

"I don't know. I don't want to fall asleep now, and I'm not sure when the effects of the drug will subside so I can move."

Yan Xiuchen cocked his head to one side, hiding his scarred face from her as he pondered what he should say now. Unlike Song Yiran, who was the ladies' man in their brotherhood, or Zhu Beichuan, who was known for his charming looks, he had no idea how to strike or lead a conversation, especially with a woman.

"I... I have no idea." He grumbled.

This was actually the first time he had a decent conversation with a woman and Yan Xiuchen hated that he couldn't even initiate a simple conversation as she requested.

"Hmm... it's unfair, you know." He heard Xiao Rufeng say.

He gave her a side glance, noticing that she was looking at him, making him uncomfortable in his seat.

"What's unfair?" Yan Xiuchen curiously asked.

"You know my name and I don't even know yours." She answered.

Perhaps life was really unfair for the two of them. There wasn't anything they could do to change it and they could only suffer in silence.

Was there any vindication at all? Yan Xiuchen doubted. They could only go with the flow and try to make the best out of their situation.

"My manager must be worried about me." Xiao Rufeng commented, pulling Yan Xiuchen out of his daze.

"Hmm? Aren't you under Bluemedia Entertainment?"

"Yes! Actually, our president is also my manager. She'd warned me earlier about Miss Ye, but I didn't expect that my sister would be involved with her."

Xiao Rufeng wasn't sure if Su Xiaofei had already noticed her disappearance and if they were looking for her.

"Then I think I can help you with that. You're lucky I'm friends with someone close to her."

Xiao Rufeng's eyes widened in surprise. She truly hadn't expected that she would be lucky tonight.

"Thank you and I'm sorry. I would have called her myself, but I don't know where my bag and phone are."

Yan Xiuchen said nothing in return but dialed Lu Qingfeng's number instead. He waited until his call was picked up after the third ring.

"Is something the matter?" He heard Lu Qingfeng's voice on the other line.

"Can I talk to your wife? Xiao Rufeng is here with me and she requested to have a word with her."

Xiao Rufeng opened her mouth, but no words came out. She had never thought that the person he was acquainted with was her manager's husband.

"Did you just say Xiao Rufeng?" Lu Qingfeng was equally surprised with Yan Xiuchen's words.
