"Handsome? He's beyond handsome. He's powerful and captivating. He's prettier than many male celebrities in the industry! When will I get a man as good as Master Jiu?"
"You don't have to be envious. Can't you see that Master Jiu is in a wheelchair? I heard that he can't do... you know. What do you think Guan Xi will gain with him? Since things downstairs don't work for him, I bet he took Guan Xi to use some... props on her," someone replied in a nasty voice.
Lin Wanwei couldn't hear everything clearly.
But if she wasn't mistaken, they were saying that Xiao Jiuyan was with a woman right now.
Would Xiao Jiuyan really take a woman?
She couldn't believe it.
However, there was evidence backing those whispers up. She saw the girl sitting beside him in the back of the Hummer.
...
The Hummer cruised steadily on the road.
Guan Xi sat next to Xiao Jiuyan.
From time to time, she would sneak a glance in Xiao Jiuyan's direction.
She didn't know why he was at that club tonight. He didn't look like he was there to have fun, though. He was wearing a very formal black suit with diamond cuff links and a crisp white shirt underneath.
Because of the dim lighting inside the car, the only thing that Guan Xi could see was Xiao Jiuyan's cold and evil-looking side profile.
His long legs were folded and yet he was unknowingly occupying a ton of space.
Maybe it was because of all the alcohol she drank tonight, but suddenly she was finding Xiao Jiuyan... too irresistibly good looking.
Every detail was perfect in her eyes.
"Ninth... Ninth Master! "
She didn't know if it was because of all the alcohol she had downed or because of his intoxicating beauty, but something caused Guan Xi's brain to go haywire. Staring at his face, she blurted out, "You're really good looking."
When Xu Ye, who was driving the car, heard this, he got so startled that his hand slipped from the steering wheel, almost causing the car to crash.
'Is she teasing Master Jiu?'
It was true that Master Jiu was good looking but he has always hated it when people commented about it.
A man only has to be strong, he didn't need to be good looking.
Xu Ye recalled what had happened. First, they found Master Jiuyan's wife in a club, drinking with a bunch of perverted old men.
Now, she had made a comment on Master Jiu's looks.
Xu Ye thought silently, "Good luck, Sister-in-law."
"Am I good looking?"
Xiao Jiuyan tilted his head slightly and looked over at his wife, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom coldly.
Guan Xi was really a little drunk at this moment.
If it were any other time, she would have definitely known how to navigate this question to avoid minimal damage to herself.
At this moment, however, she was stuck.
She met her husband's gaze, getting lost in his midnight eyes.
She smiled, a little silly and childish. She nodded and said with certainty, "Yes, Master Jiu. You are very beautiful."
Xu Ye interjected, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking."
Guan Xi couldn't help but voice her appreciation for her husband's beauty.
She continued sincerely, "Master Jiu, you are the most beautiful man I have ever seen."
Xu Ye listened on with a heavy heart.
No amount of prayer was going to save his sister-in-law now.
Xiao Jiuyan stared at her round little face for a few seconds, his lips curling. For a moment, Guan Xi thought she was seeing things.
Did Master Jiu just smile?
She wanted to confirm with him but she was interrupted.
Xiao Jiuyan's voice was hauntingly cold when he spoke.
"Gu Wenxi, your skin is itchy!"
