Wei Yurou, not caring about anything else, forced a smile.
"It's her good fortune that Mr. Yunhuan took interest in her. Let's go next door and play. Don't you want to meet my other friends?"
Lu Jie took one last look at Yuanya. Under her pleading, hopeful gaze, he simply left with Wei Yurou.
Isn't this the very reason she worked her way into the Imperial Court?
Who does she think she is, acting like a saint now!
He thought to himself, the bit of guilt in his heart dissolving.
As the door to the private room closed, Yuanya's heart fell to the bottom.
She dared not even look at Bei Yunhuan. Her body trembled like a sieve, tears sliding down her face.
Bei Yunhuan's cool fingers touched her cheek again.
"What are you truly afraid of?" He bent down, close to her ear as he asked, a teasing lilt in his voice.
"Nothing... "
Yuanya denied instantly, but she was truly scared now!
She was terrified that like the person from that night, she would meet a tragic end without leaving a final word for her parents.
"Since there's nothing, look at me."
His fingers clasped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Yuanya felt like she was wrapped up in the coils of a snake, her tears flowing even more readily as she started to sob uncontrollably.
Bei Yunhuan observed each of her reactions, his interest in the girl in front of him increasing.
She seemed to be just to his taste.
"Are you afraid of what I might do to you?" Bei Yunhuan's voice softened slightly.
"..."
Yuanya was stunned, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Do? Is he going to kill her!?
Just as she was about to scream out loud, she saw the teasing look in his eyes.
Only then did she realize what he meant, the fright rendering her speechless.
Bei Yunhuan couldn't help but chuckle softly, for the first time realizing that the prospect of sleeping with him could scare a woman to this extent.
But just as he was about to do something more, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"...Brother Yunhuan?" Guan Zhenzhen, looking at the scene in the room, was full of disbelief, "Brother Yunhuan, what... what are you doing?!"
Bei Yunhuan's expression was indifferent; he didn't even bother to answer.
What was he doing? It was obvious.
But just as he was about to send Guan Zhenzhen out and continue teasing the girl in front of him, he was caught off guard by a hard push by Yuanya.
He didn't try to prevent it and watched as the rabbit darted out of sight in a blink of an eye.
From the moment Guan Zhenzhen had walked in, he felt his mood dampen. It was a pity that something he found so palate-pleasing and interesting had slipped away.
However, all of East Dragon was his territory. If he truly wanted her, she had no chance of escape...
Guan Zhenzhen, seeing him silent, softly called out again, "Brother Yunhuan."
"They're next door."
Guan Zhenzhen looked at him with soft gaze, her tone even softer, "But, I want to stay with Brother Yunhuan."
"Really?" Bei Yunhuan's gaze swept over her face, then he began to walk towards her.
Seeing him approach, Guan Zhenzhen's heart almost leaped from her chest.
However, to her disappointment, Bei Yunhuan walked right past her and out of the private room, not even giving her a second glance.
Yuanya had no idea how she got into the taxi, she was too frightened.
By the time she thought of Zhao Xiaobai, the Imperial Court Club was already out of sight.
Just as she was asking the taxi driver to turn around and head back to the Imperial Court, Zhao Xiaobai's call came through.
