Chapter 393: Masks Ball – Part 2 (2nd Update)_1
“What, you have a boyfriend now?”
“Yes, I have a boyfriend. He drove me to the province city today, and he’s still waiting for me at the hotel!” Xiao Fangfang said earnestly.
Ye Xiong, listening by the side, thought to himself that this foolish woman had finally learned to use him as a shield.
“Your boyfriend is really lucky,” Brook said unwillingly.
“My boyfriend is very outstanding. I am quite satisfied to be his girlfriend.”
“I have something else to do, please excuse me.” Brook left very reluctantly.
...
Only then did Xiao Fangfang breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly noticing a man wearing a King Yama Mask standing three meters away, eavesdropping on their conversation all along, and she gave him a glare.
This guy was actually eavesdropping, one could tell at a glance that he was no good.
Ye Xiong thought she might have recognized him, and when she didn’t, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought about approaching her to reveal his identity, but since he had not yet ascertained the purpose of the person behind the hosting of this wine party, he temporarily dismissed the idea and maintained a certain distance from Xiao Fangfang.
“Beautiful lady, may I get to know you?”
No sooner had Brook left than another man walked over.
Apart from this gentleman, many other men nearby seemed to want to come over and flirt, but this man got there first.
Xiao Fangfang stood out due to her height and coupled with her great figure and delicate skin, she exuded a sultry charm; no wonder she was the target of men’s advances.
“I’m sorry, I’m not available,” Xiao Fangfang declined.
“Just a little chat.”
The man wore a gold Rolex on his wrist, very eye-catching and worth at least several hundred thousand.
“I said I don’t want to chat,” Xiao Fangfang’s tone grew firmer.
The man left feeling snubbed and unwilling to accept the rejection.
No sooner had he left than another man, somewhat shorter and with a potbelly, approached and said, “Miss, could we be friends?”
Looking at the man before her who was only about 1.6 meters tall, with a large belly and a head with sparse tufts of hair, Xiao Fangfang barely restrained herself from slapping his “pig head.”
It wasn’t his fault for being ugly, but lacking self-awareness was.
“I’m not available.”
“Miss, I genuinely want to be friends with you.”
“I’ll say it again, I’m not available.”
“But you clearly are available.”
“Whether I’m available is none of your damn business; get lost!” Xiao Fangfang roared.
The people around heard this and looked over, their gazes falling on Xiao Fangfang, seemingly surprised that such an elegant woman would use profanity.
The bald man left very embarrassed.
Following Xiao Fangfang’s outburst, the other men who had been thinking of approaching her all dropped the idea.
Who would dare to provoke such a hot-tempered woman?
“And these people call themselves high society, pah!” Xiao Fangfang cursed.
Ye Xiong, listening by the side, couldn’t help but laugh.
He had not expected Xiao Fangfang to have such a fierce side to her, which was not apparent usually.
“You want to hit on me too, don’t you?” Xiao Fangfang, hearing Ye Xiong’s laughter, glared at him fiercely.
“No,” Ye Xiong altered his voice.
He had trained in simple voice changing at Dragon Group, so deceiving an ordinary person like Xiao Fangfang was not difficult at all.
“Then why are you laughing?” Xiao Fangfang said angrily.
“What’s it to you?”
“Get lost.”
“This isn’t your place; what gives you the right to tell me to get lost?”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, you’re playing hard to get, aren’t you? You think by intentionally insulting me, offending me, you can draw my attention and make yourself stand out? Let me tell you clearly, you might as well give up on that thought right now.” Xiao Fangfang said:
“Miss, I must say, you have a rich imagination.” Ye Xiong suddenly had a stroke of inspiration and said, “Actually, when I was looking at you just now, it was because I realized something very serious.”
“What is it?”
“On you, there’s an ominous aura…”
“Go to hell, did your mom not wear a bra, did your sister not wear a bra? Just get the hell out.” Xiao Fangfang was furious.
“What I’m talking about is not the bra that you’re wearing, but an aura of misfortune, a chest shield…”
“Are you a pervert or what? What business is it of yours whether my chest is big or not?” Xiao Fangfang was about to get physical.
“The ominous aura I’m referring to is bad luck, misfortune, a matter of life and death.”
“I have to say, you’ll go to any lengths just to flirt with me. Is your next line going to be: ‘Miss, if you want to escape the ominous aura, come with me to a hotel room, and I’ll slowly help you out’? ” Xiao Fangfang sneered.
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you. I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t fall into someone else’s trap over a small business, or one wrong step could lead you to irreversible doom.”
Ye Xiong turned and left with an unfathomable look.
If he guessed right, Xiao Fangfang would definitely follow him.
Sure enough, moments later, Xiao Fangfang ran up to him and said anxiously, “What did you mean just now? How do you know I came here for business?”
“If I couldn’t figure that out, how would I conduct business?”
Ye Xiong continued with a mysteriously profound look, “Not only did I figure out that you came for business, but I also foresaw that someone harbors malicious intentions towards you. I advise you to leave quickly before you regret being cheated out of your money and dignity.”
Xiao Fangfang immediately fell into deep thought.
She remembered everything along the way, including Zhanshi asking her to meet, requesting her to come to the provincial city to pick him up, then changing plans mid-way and having Brook invite her to this party, and the way Brook fussed over her after getting here, becoming more and more suspcious the more she thought about it.
She looked around and noticed many men and women gathered together, chatting and laughing joyfully. How was this scene any different from those so-called debauched parties abroad?
Thinking of this, she made a snap decision to leave this frightening place at once.
At the entrance of the hall, two security guards blocked her way.
“I’m sorry, Miss, but you can’t just leave here.”
“Why can’t I leave?” Xiao Fangfang was full of doubt.
“It’s the rule of the party. There will be interesting programs starting soon; please enjoy those before leaving,” the security guard said.
“I don’t want to stay here; I want to go out.” Xiao Fangfang insisted urgently.
As she spoke, she tried to break outside, but the security guards immediately blocked her way and said coldly, “Miss, please don’t make this difficult for us. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite.”
“You’re restricting personal freedom, which is illegal, do you know that?” Xiao Fangfang said angrily.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Xiao Fangfang wanted to push through again, but the two security guards patted the daggers at their waists.
That’s when she truly panicked, and quickly retreated back into the hall to find a corner to call for help, only to discover upon taking out her phone that there was no signal at all.
This was the provincial city, where the signal coverage should be the strongest. It was absolutely impossible to have no signal, the only possibility being that someone had installed a device to block the signals.
An extreme feeling of unease surged in her heart.
