CH 152

Chapter 152 - "I'm in Room 717. If there are any problems, just call the number I left with the front desk." (1)

Luo Xiu bend down, picked Gu Nian up sideways, and headed for the patio exit.

He had just walked down the hollowed planks before he heard someone at the entrance of the patio. He looked up.

He knew the person coming toward them. At least he recognized his face––

He was the one who came over to make Gu Nian drink after he found out that she was drinking for Luo Xiu. He was also one of Demons’ investors.

He middle-aged man was already red from all the alcohol and probably recommended by the server to get some fresh air from the only patio of the hotel.*

Apparently recognizing Luo Xiu, he stopped a few meters from them, “Aren’t you that……”

His voice, slurred from the alcohol, stopped abruptly when he saw the girl sleeping in Luo Xiu’s arms.

The middle-aged man stopped for a few seconds as he looked at the unconscious girl. Slowly, an awful-looking smile appeared on him. “I remember you. You are that actor from the production team, right?”

Luo Xiu didn’t say anything.

The entrance to the patio was not very well and it was a single-sided door. With this obese man standing there blocking it, there was only a space wide enough to fit half a person. There was no way he could pass through while holding Gu Nian in his arms.

As Luo Xiu was thinking, the middle-aged man looked at Gu Nian in Luo Xiu’s arms and smiled in a creepy way. “This is your female assistant, right? She is quite a pretty one. Say, where are you bringing her? Into your room?”

“……”

Luo Xiu recollected himself. He moved sideways, blocking Gu Nian from the middle-aged man, before he said coldly, “That has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way.”

With Gu Nian leaning up against his chest, he controlled his volume purposefully so she wouldn’t be woken by the vibration of his chest.

The middle-aged man looked at him in disbelief for a few seconds before he busted out laughing from irritation. “Oh, that’s a new one…… I haven’t seen a daring little actor like you in years. Do you know who I am? You sure you want to talk to me like this? I can make you disappear from this circle.”

Luo Xiu couldn’t be bothered to engage with this man.

He would never let himself get angry at a social failure with nothing but fat and garbage inside his body who never had a comprehensive personality and lacked the most basic common sense of human nature.

As long as his disgusting look not fall on the one in his arms again, he didn’t care his own image and label in the mind of the garbage.

That was certainly not something that was worthy of him to concern himself over.

Naturally, the middle-aged man had no way of knowing what was in Luo Xiu’s mind. Every little actor that he had met in the past had been very respectful to him, much like all the flatteries and adulations that he had received tonight.

When Luo Xiu remained silent, he assumed that the young actor was intimidated.

The middle-aged man smiled complacently. “Good. Now you had it figured out. Given that you are young and arrogant, it is only natural that you weren’t able to control your temper when you talked. I can overlook that if only you……”

The middle-aged man lowered his sight slowly and looked at the girl in Luo Xiu’s arms in an even creepier way.

“Ahem. All you need to do is to apologize to me and show me the sincerity in your apology, I can let your rudeness tonight go. If my mood suits me, I might even give you a male lead or second male lead role so you can get some face time with the audiences –– as for the sincerity of your apology, I am not asking for much. Just hand over your female assistant to me ––“

“Let me give you one last chance as well.”

The middle-aged man was interrupted by a tender male voice.

The middle-aged man was taken aback and he saw that the young man standing in front of him had a tender look and his eyes were gentle like jade. Even his smile made one feel like a breeze in the spring time.

The middle-aged man asked reflexively, “What chance?”

So he could fall off the sides? O_O
