"I don't understand!" she didn't want to understand either.
Xiao Ying, with a smile, "Miss Ye, from what I know of our young master, I'm afraid he won't let you leave anytime soon. Since that's the case, don't you want to make life a bit more comfortable? Instead of always being at odds with the young master, always ready to bear his anger?"
Ye Qingci stopped in her tracks, turned to look at him, "What do I need to do for him to let me go?"
"I'm sorry," Xiao Ying said apologetically, "from what I know of the young master, no matter what you do, he won't let you go right now."
"..." Ye Qingci looked down, defeated.
"Let's go, don't keep the young master waiting and get him fired up," Xiao Ying gestured Ye Qingci to keep walking, "In fact, once you figure out our young master's temperament, he is very easy to get along with."
Ye Qingci: "..." Jian Shichu? Easy to get along with? She could only think two words... Haha!
Xiao Ying, smiling, "I see the young master really cares about you. It's very simple to please someone he cares about. You just need to show him more attention and be more compliant."
"I got it, thank you, Brother Xiao!" Ye Qingci smiled gratefully at him.
She knew that Xiao Ying was truly looking out for her.
Xiao Ying's demeanor was somewhat like her brother's, refined and cultured, kind and honest, which easily endeared him to people.
"We're here," Xiao Ying stretched his hand to push open a room door, "Miss Ye, please go in yourself, I won't accompany you further."
Ye Qingci nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and stepped into the room.
The lights inside were dim.
After getting used to the lighting for a while, she could see that it was an excessively large room.
The room was filled with all kinds of entertainment facilities: a bar, pool tables, bowling alleys, arcade machines, punching bags, boxing rings, and so on, everything one could imagine.
In one corner of the room, a few men were sitting on the couch, drinking together.
The light was too dim, and they were too far away for Ye Qingci to make out their faces.
"What took you so long?" Jian Shichu stood up, left the couch, and strode over to Ye Qingci. When he saw her attire, he was first stunned by her beauty, then annoyed, "Why are you dressed like that? Showing so much skin, are you selling flesh?"
He swiftly took off his own suit and, without a word, draped it over Ye Qingci's shoulders.
Poor LUSKA had painstakingly created an impressive style for over half an hour, only for Jian Shichu to cover it up with a single move.
Ye Qingci inhaled deeply, repeatedly telling herself not to get angry, not to get angry because anger was futile, and she wouldn't let others' mistakes punish herself!
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing her silent, Jian Shichu glared at her unhappily, "Why so scantily dressed? Are you eager to show off your bad figure?"
"Enough!" Ye Qingci could no longer hold back, barely suppressing her anger, she said softly, "The clothes were chosen by your own personal stylist. Whatever he chose for me, that's all I could wear. I don't have a say in this, do I?"
"Idiot! What taste!" Jian Shichu abruptly pulled the room door open and shouted angrily out the door, "Replace everyone in the styling department, a bunch of pig-brains, replace, replace, replace, right now!"
Xiao Ying replied calmly, "Yes, young master, right away!"
Jian Shichu slammed the door with a "bang" and grabbed Ye Qingci's wrist, "Come with me!"
Jian Shichu led Ye Qingci in front of the couch, sat down in a spot near the window, and pulled her into his embrace.
With his tall stature and Ye Qingci's petite figure, as he seated her on his lap, she was completely enveloped in his arms, giving off an impression of being protected.
As if she could feel the gaze of everyone in the room on her face, Ye Qingci's cheeks burned with heat.
