Chapter 811 - Taking the Shot for Him (1/2)
When Qin Haodong entered the room, the lights were on. Xi Youmi was standing in front of the window in a pink nightdress. She was gazing out of the window at the night scene with folded arms, deeply absorbed in her thoughts. She didn’t even notice Qin Haodong stepping into the room.
In the light, Xi Youmi’s fair skin set off by the pink color of her nightdress was indeed inviting to the eye.
Her face was exquisite, her figure was perfectly curvy, and her temperament was extraordinary. This woman was flawless in every aspect. Nobody could find any bit of imperfection in her.
Qin Haodong asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“Oh! You’re back!”
Hearing Qin Haodong’s voice, Xi Youmi immediately turned around, happily bounced toward him, and affectionately held him by the arm.
“Where did you go after you left in a hurry today? If you hadn’t left by yourself, I would have thought that you were really on a date with a famous model of our company.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I went to see a friend. He needed me for something.”
He didn’t tell her the truth. Instead, he found a random excuse to gloss it over.
Xi Youmi didn’t care about these things anyway. She gently held Qin Haodong’s arm and slightly blushed. “Thank you for saving me today. If you hadn’t shown up in time, I would be at a loss about what to do. Maybe I would really have to pack my things and go back to my country.”
Qin Haodong said, “It’s not a big deal. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have upset Jared, so I kind of owed you one.”
A charming smile appeared on Xi Youmi’s face. “Anyway, I should thank you. You’ve saved me twice, if we count that time in Huaxia. How should I pay you back? Do you really not want me to do it with you?”
She gazed at Qin Haodong with her big, beautiful eyes. Even the least romantic man could see the affection in her eyes.
Qin Haodong beamed, saying, “As I’ve told you, it’s nothing. Don’t mention it. You are not in my debt or something.”
Xi Youmi remarked, “But I was really surprised to see that you have such strong connections in M Country. Even the entire Jared family has succumbed to you.”
“I have a friend who has some influence in M Country. He made a call to the old Jared.”
“That friend of yours is really amazing. With just a phone call, he increased the compensation by 10 times,” Xi Youmi said in awe. “I’ve reserved 10 million from the 300 million dollars as compensation for them, and the rest has been transferred into your bank account.”
“Is 10 million enough? Why didn’t you keep more?”
“Ten million is already very generous compensation. In terms of material losses, it’s only about 300,000 dollars. The rest of the money has been given to the colleagues who have been beaten as reimbursement.”
Qin Haodong nodded and stopped talking about the money issue. He then asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”
“Yes.” Xi Youmi looked up at him and said, “But I want you to take me to a bar and have some drinks with me.”
Qin Haodong grinned. “That’s not a place for a girl like you. Is there anything bothering you?”
“Not really. I’ve long heard that the bars in M Country are very fun places. But I don’t have a boyfriend to go with me, and I don’t dare to go there alone, so I want you to accompany me.” Xi Youmi raised a finger and urged, “Just this one time. I just want to go there and have a look.”
Qin Haodong said, “Well, okay, I’ll go with you.”
“Great! Thanks!”
Xi Youmi gave Qin Haodong a peck on the cheek and then ran back to her wardrobe to change. Moments later, she left the house with Qin Haodong.
There was a bar called “Blue Tone” not far from their apartment. They walked there hand in hand.
As soon as they stepped into the bar, they heard raucous music coming from inside. The whole place was permeated with a wild vibe.
In the bar, countless men and women were fanatically shaking their booties on the dance floor. Unlike the bars in Huaxia, this place entertained almost all kinds of people with different skin colors on Earth. Whether it was the black, white, or yellow-skinned people, they were all releasing their passion through dancing.
Bathed in the colorful neon lights, a tattooed woman wearing nothing but her underwear was holding a steel pipe on the dancing floor, wriggling her body as agilely as a snake.
Qin Haodong had no interest in this kind of woman. He merely glanced at her and then tugged Xi Youmi to the bar counter.
Behind the bar counter stood a bartender with the mohawk hairstyle. He was fumbling with a bottle of wine, performing a series of acrobatic tricks in a row.
After Qin Haodong and Xi Youmi sat down, the bartender asked, “What would you like to drink?”
Xi Youmi said, “Two glasses of Flaming Lips, please.”
“Sure. It’ll be ready in a minute.”
The Flaming Lips was a kind of cocktail. After that, the bartender began to skillfully mix the drinks.
Qin Haodong inquired, “Why did you order this specific drink?”
Under the neon light, Xi Youmi tilted her head and looked at him with blurred eyes as she answered, “I’ve seen this kind of cocktail in a magazine. It says that the red color of this drink can make people think of fire, blood, and the sun. It can encourage people to relish their passion and can also kindle the hidden burning desire in people’s hearts. Thus, I want to give it a try.”
“Here is your drink. Please enjoy.”
The bartender was very proficient in his job. He soon brought them two glasses of a splendid-looking cocktail.
Xi Youmi picked up her glass and took a sip. After savoring the flavor, she said, “It tastes good.”
At this time, a man in ripped clothes came to Xi Youmi’s side and said, “Miss, may I have the honor to dance with you?”
Xi Youmi looked back and smiled at him apologetically. “Sorry, my man doesn’t like me to dance with others.”
The man in ripped clothes leered and then turned to look for other prey.
In this bar, Xi Youmi, an oriental woman who was exceptionally gorgeous and carried an elegant air, was undoubtedly in the limelight. Although she had Qin Haodong sitting by her side, about four men had come to hit on her in the brief while after they sat down.
