Chapter 44 Self-deprecation in a calm way

“Ye...”

Xia Nuan was in a daze. She called him passively, and obsessively looked at the warm face which looked like a Greek sculpture.

She must be dreaming.

She could only see Ye Sichen in her dreams.

Xia Nuan became enamored and called him again and again. And Ye Sichen kissed her violently over and over.

Xia Nuan slightly opened her eyes and moved her body. Then she found an arm grabbing her waist, which recalled the scenes in that dream. She suddenly blushed. As she became awake, she had to face the fact that she had been entangled with the guest last night.

It was not a dream last night. She viewed Mr. X as Ye...

Xia Nuan looked at the arm in her waist, recalling the madness of last night. She bit her lips, and stretched out her hands to take his arm away.

After that, Xia Nuan was ready to get up, but suddenly her waist was grabbed by him again.

Xia Nuan frowned and tried to get rid of his arm again. Anyway, she didn’t want to get too close to the man. Seeing him, she would feel that she was extremely dirty.

The arm seemed weak, but it tightly clasped her waist. He fiercely pulled her over, “Where are you going?”

He said that in a low voice, sounding like an aged man.

Facing the man with silver mask, Xia Nuan pushed against his exposed chest with her hands, “I need to use the bathroom. Let go of me.”

“Are you sure that you can get out of bed by yourself?” With a smile in his deep eyes, he lifted her chin gently.

Xia Nuan was shocked when she looked at his eyes.

His eyes...looked like that of Ye Sichen.

No, he could not be Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan forced herself not to think about Ye Sichen. She took his hand away, “Of course.”

He let go of her, and allowed her to get out of the bed.

But she fell into his arms since her legs were too weak to stand up.

He took the opportunity and held her in his arms, “Wanna try it again?”

“Let go of me! I can get there by myself.” Xia Nuan struggled.

“Your legs must get hurt since we were too vigorous last night. I can hold you there.” As he said that, he held her to the bathroom regardless of her struggle.

“Please get out!” Xia Nuan pushed him out of the bathroom.

He stepped back with his arms crossed, and fixed his smiling eyes on her beautiful face. It was not until Xia Nuan suddenly closed the door that his gaze was finally isolated.

Xia Nuan stayed in the bathroom and looked at the frosted glass door. The slender figure was still standing there as she stared at it. Gradually, she was in a daze. Suddenly, the figure overlapped with the shadow of Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan’s heartbeat paused.

“Clattering.”

The water in the pool spilled out and plashed on her skirt, wetting her body.

Xia Nuan lowered her head and held the water to wash her face, trying to sober her up.

How infatuated she was! When she saw a man, she imagined him as Ye Sichen. But he was not Ye Sichen. Ye Sichen always cared about his reputation and was self-disciplined. He didn’t even get involved with the groupies. How could he come to such a dirty place?

Xia Nuan became calm as she thought in this way.

Turning off the tap, she walked out of the bathroom.

Mr. X still stood there, waiting for her silently.

His gaze was like strong ultraviolet rays. He glanced at her from head to foot. Looking at her wet skirt, he chuckled, “Are you going to tempt me by getting wet?”

Slowly getting close to her, he held her face.

Hearing it, Xia Nuan was a little angry but still smiled gently. She looked up at him and gently took away his hand, “It seems that Mr. X is increasingly interested in me?”

“Kind of.” He grabbed her waist again and took her into his arms.

“Well, let’s do this somewhere else. It’s really boring to be in this private room every night.” Xia Nuan gently touched his collar with her delicate fingers.

“Oh? Where do you want to go?”

Xia Nuan’s eyes twinkled. She smiled, “Not here, you can take me out, in the car, in the field. In a word, any place outside would be fine.”

In that way, she would have a chance to flee.

“Oh, sounds interesting. I need think about it.”

“There is no need to think about it. We’ll go out tonight. I’ll give you a different experience.” She hugged his neck. He could not help holding her horizontally, and she breathed softly in his ear.

“Well, a woman seen countless men is really full of tricks.” He said that in a sour tone. He hugged her to the bed and gently held her long hair scattered on her chest together, “Dinner first.”

As he spoke, a waiter came in with a dining car and respectfully presented those rich delicacies on the white marble tea table.

Xia Nuan felt uncomfortable as she thought about his sarcasm. However, what could she do? In the eyes of whoremongers, she was a whore sleeping with various men.

She took a spoonful of soup in silence, and tasted it like she was chewing a candle. Her mind recalled the incident happened twelve years ago...

“Hold on! Don’t give up on yourself! No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can’t give up!”

That year, the mudslide caused the landslide. As she was on the verge of death, a teenager in purple raincoat firmly grasped her on the mountain and asked her not to give up.

She was hung in the dirty air after the torrent, clutching his hand tightly...

After so many years, she always bore the young man’s words in mind. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she could not give up herself. And never gave up even if she was in adversity.

Thinking of this, her empty eyes became clear.

“You kept calling a man’s name last night, remember?” He said slowly in a low voice, with a tone of questioning.

Xia Nuan’s hand shook when she held a spoon. She looked up, and her gaze overlapped with that of the silver-masked man.

“I forget.”

Xia Nuan hid her inner tension.

“It sounds like Ye...chen?”

“No, I don’t know anyone whose family name is Ye. The name is strange. I didn’t even know there’s such a family name in the world.” Xia Nuan smiled and drank a swig of soup.

Ye Sichen stared at her and said slowly, “The family name is kind of famous in the world.”

Xia Nuan was silent, looking down at the soup. With a confusing state of mind, she stirred the spoon slowly.

“I guess that the name you called was Ye Sichen, right? The man who is coquettish on the stage?” He continued to ask without stopping.

Xia Nuan shook her head as if her most sensitive nerve was triggered, “No, how can I know him? You probably mishear me.” She blushed with guilt.

“You’re not telling the truth.” Ye Sichen opened the teaching book of fashion design. The page he opened was exactly where he signed. There was Xia Nuan’s monologue below it.

“Have you ever seen Ye Sichen?” He asked Xia Nuan as Mr. X.

“Please return the book to me.” Xia Nuan didn’t want to answer him. Even when he mentioned the three words of “Ye Sichen”, she felt very sad.

She stood up and tried to get the book back from his hand.

However, the book was quickly transferred to the other hand by him.

“Ye Sichen also came here before? Are you his mistress so that you miss him so much? Hum?” He grabbed her waist and asked her slowly.

“No, he has never come to this place! Return the book to me. I don’t want to talk about this!” Xia Nuan was very angry and tried to get rid of his arm around her waist, but she failed.

“What do you like about Ye Sichen? He is pleasant to the eye but of no use. What else does he have besides his identity as a star?” Ye Sichen continued to debase himself, “I don’t like his coquettish dance steps on the stage, what does he look like? Male or female?”

He said that calmly with a sense of self-deprecation. Also, he deliberately infuriated Xia Nuan and wanted to test her reaction.

Hearing it, Xia Nuan glared at him and retorted indignantly, “Superficial people like you are not qualified to know Ye Sichen at all! He is kind-hearted and has been working on charity silently. He helped set up schools for the poor children, and built refugee shelters for homeless people all over the world because of the war. All of you are inferior even to his toes!”

“You said you don’t know him?”

Ye Sichen with the silver mask could not help laughing. His heart was filled with warmth as he heard that.

Noticing that he had been staring at her, Xia Nuan felt discomposed all of a sudden. She was more guilty than before, concealing her inner resentment and embarrassment.

Undoubtedly, what she said seemed to admit that she knew Ye Sichen?

Thinking of this, she explained again, “I just like to listen to his songs...”

“I have to go now. Have a good rest.” He interrupted her sophistry and left, covering his reluctance to her and letting go of her hand.

Looking at his back, Xia Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. X was really a busybody. Whether she knew Ye Sichen or not? How could that have anything to do with him?

But she was mean to him just now, did he get angry? If he was angry, he would not come tonight. How could she leave here without him? Xia Nuan got up as she thought of this. Then she hurried to chase him and wanted to make sure whether he would come tonight. But when she got out of the VIP private room, Mr. X had disappeared.

Xia Nuan had been looking forward to seeing Mr. X all day. Because the moment he came, she would have a chance to leave here.

Since Xia Nuan was captured here, she was unable to take a walk outside and didn’t know where it was. She only knew that it was one of the most famous nightclubs in Feicheng City, namely, Mood for Love.

She once inquired about the geographical location of the nightclub, but no one was willing to disclose it to her.

That time, Xia Nuan threatened Jin to leave with a blade. She called the police, but when they came, Jin successfully sent them out. She only ended in failure, and now the only choice for her was to count on Mr. X.

“Nuan, how lucky you are!” At this time, a beautiful long-haired woman came over and whispered to Xia Nuan, with unspeakable envy in her eyes, “Can you tell me the identity of Mr. X? He is so rich and generous to you. He almost views you as a princess. By the way, can you tell me how you served him...”

The beautiful woman was Wong Na, a veteran in this field. But recently she felt that she met an opponent, Xia Nuan.

Wong Na envied Xia Nuan for she met a man of great possession on the first night, so she specially came here to ask for some experience. She also wanted to flatter Xia Nuan. By doing so, there might be a chance that Xia Nuan would do her a favor and attract Mr. X to her room.

Xia Nuan was not willing to recall the process of her being with Mr. X, so she shook her head, “No.”

“No? Don’t you know?” Wong Na looked at Xia Nuan’s indifferent expression, with envy and hatred filling in her heart.

“Know what?” Xia Nuan frowned and was a little absent-minded.

She was thinking about how to leave here at this moment, so she did not care about Wong Na’s words.
