Chapter 19 (1/2)

Little Canary

“Now that you’ve made a scene, you are mollified. But aren’t you afraid that your brother will find trouble with you?” At Xing Shu’s words, Nie Xi immediately fell silent, and her face turned red.

It was very crowded on the dance floor of the bar. Coupled with the change to heavy drumbeat music, the whole place was all astir. Xing Shu and Nie Xi got separated in the wild and swarming crowd.

Xing Shu had no choice but to find a quiet corridor and call Nie Xi who was jostled around. When Nie Xi looked up and saw the tall and familiar man at the door, her heart skipped a beat.

“Xing Shu, where are you? I’m fine over here. Just my luck—I saw my brother. It’s all that b*tch, Xing Linlin’s fault!” Nie Xi was really irate to encounter this right upon her return. Xing Shu was about to persuade Nie Xi from fighting with Xing Linlin when an ominous, deep male voice emanated from the phone. “Nie Xi, so you’ve become more capable after coming back from overseas—scolding people?”

A chaotic commotion ensued immediately. Nie Xi went abroad a while back but in reality, she had run away from home. Her brother’s name was Nie Heng—a ruthless man. Among the most prominent families in Beijing—the Cheng family, the Liu family, and the Jin family—the Nie family was ranked second. Nie Heng was the successor of the Nie family.

After the call was hung up, Xing Shu was about to call her back when she suddenly felt a warm sensation on her back. A large hand adorned with a Buddhist bracelet wrapped around her waist. Xing Shu looked up and saw a familiar face. “Young Uncle?”

Why was Cheng Lang here?

Cheng Lang had an air of aloofness. He had already changed out of his black and white suit and was wearing a white shirt. He looked languid and casual. Under the dim light, he looked noble and elegant as usual, but his actions were not so elegant.

Cheng Lang’s fingers rubbed the hickeys on Xing Shu’s neck suggestively. His fingertips were covered in thin calluses, and she trembled wherever he touched.

Xing Shu narrowed her eyes and noticed there was a man behind Cheng Lang.
