Chapter 142: The Simplest Game

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon enough, the group of men left. The place they were in was not their turf, and they were risking their safety by searching for their target in the cruise. Since they could not find him, they may as well give up and leave for the time being, or else they would be in grave danger too.

After those men left, the man finally released Su Qianxun. He studied the young woman’s smooth skin and was suddenly overcome with the urge to kiss her on the cheek.

He did just that, and Su Qianxun promptly pushed him away. She raised her hand, slapped him across the face without restraint and shouted, “You’re an a**hole! Thug!”

She shoved him away, turned and ran. She could feel her whole body heating up, and her legs were going limp.

The man stared after the young woman as she ran off angrily. He pressed the wound on his lower abdomen with his hand. His gaze turned extremely grim…

As she headed back to the bathroom, Su Qianxun regretted her decision to show sympathy towards that outlaw. Due to her kindness, she was teased by him in such a lewd manner.

She did not dare wander off again. Instead, she made her way back to the bathroom and prepared to head back to the private lounge from there. She ran into Long Sijue’s bodyguard on the way.

On her way back, Su Qianxun had calmed herself down. Still, she was so embarrassed by the incident earlier that her breaths were scorching hot. She was disconcerted and very uncomfortable. She could not stop wiping her cheek, which that hooligan had planted a kiss on earlier.

By the time the young woman returned to the banquet room, she had almost recovered from the shock. Lan Qingcheng was still sitting next to Long Sijue.

Long Sijue was expressionless. In spite of that, he still appeared incredibly stunning. Of all the handsome men in the room, he was the most eye-catching one. With that incomparable air of elegance and grace, it was impossible for anyone to outshine him.

This time, Su Qianxun did not hesitate. She immediately took a seat beside Tang Zui, for she did not want Lan Qingcheng to know about her relationship with Long Sijue.

Long Sijue noticed that she kept trying to distance herself from him and grew even more displeased. He felt like there was a raging fire in his chest.

When Tang Zui saw that she was finally back, he breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since she left the room, Long Sijue’s oppressive aura had become increasingly unbearable.

However, even though the chick had returned, his mood did not seem to be improving. The atmosphere in the room was still awfully cold!

“Hey, chick, what took you so long in the bathroom?” Tang Zui asked her on Long Sijue’s behalf.

“The bathroom on this floor is under maintenance. I went to the one upstairs and got lost on my way back,” Su Qianxun said and suddenly remembered what Long Sijue said earlier—”Even a dog wouldn’t get lost!”

If his fiancée were not around, he would have definitely said, “Even a dog could find its way back!”

This time, Tang Zui handed Su Qianxun a glass of warm lemon juice. The young woman lifted the glass, placed the straw in her mouth and took a few sips. She felt rather dejected as she suddenly wondered about her older brother’s whereabouts.

She did not only help that man earlier because his predicament reminded her of what her older brother had gone through. She was hoping that whenever her older brother was in danger, he would run into some good Samaritans as well.

Even though Long Sijue looked like he was staring at the wine glass before him, all his attention was on the young woman sitting across the table.

Therefore, he could clearly see the sadness in her black eyes. He tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand. ‘Is she upset because of someone? If so, who could it be?’

Tang Zui noticed that the atmosphere in the room was growing increasingly tense. He could not take it anymore and suggested, “It’s so boring to simply drink in silence. Why don’t we play a game to lift up the atmosphere?”

Most people agreed. When Tang Zui saw that Long Sijue did not object to his suggestion, he urged Ye Gu to join in as well because they needed one more person to form an even-numbered group.

Tang Zui realized that it was already late at night so he set up a simple game with the most basic rule—each player must draw a random piece of paper from a box that contained a few pieces of paper.

The number of pieces of paper in the box was the same as the number of people in the room. Two people who drew pieces of paper with identical symbols on them could choose between French-kissing for thirty seconds or drinking the strongest cocktail prepared by the bartender…

When Su Qianxun heard the rules, she became unsettled. She wanted to find an excuse so that she did not have to join them. But Tang Zui held her by the wrist and forced her to draw a piece of paper as well.
