Quite awkward

The only drawback of this hotel is that the takeaway service cannot be delivered directly to the room and guests need to pick it up at the front desk.

Qi Yu woke up after sleeping for more than ten hours and only drank half a bottle of mineral water. She urgently needed to fill her stomach.

She dressed neatly and went downstairs to pick up her takeaway at the front desk. Just as she was about to leave, a man suddenly appeared from the inside of the front desk and shouted her name.

"Qi Yu!"

She turned around with confusion and unexpectedly saw Xu Yan.

He was the son of the hotel owner and an old classmate who had given her a 50% discount the day before.

Qi Yu turned around completely, smiled gently, and waved hello.

"Hi, Xu Yan, long time no see."

Xu Yan trotted over around the front desk and immediately noticed the takeaway in her hand. He smiled and said, "You're still awake? Eating so late."

"I checked into your hotel this afternoon and slept for over ten hours. I just woke up hungry, but the hotel restaurant was closed, so I had to order takeout."

Qi Yu's smile came from the heart.

She didn't feel awkward at all when she met Xu Yan. After all, he was one of the few rich second-generations who made people feel at ease. He was humble and casual, didn't like to compare himself with others, and didn't have a condescending attitude.

Xu Yan leisurely extended an invitation: "The rooftop bar is open tonight. Besides drinks, you can also have some snacks. I have a friend waiting for me there. Do you want to go?"

He would be alone in his room. He had heard that the night view from the top floor of this hotel was nice, so Qi Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

“What about my takeaway?”

Xu Yan said casually, "Why not give it to the lady at the front desk? I just heard her say she was hungry. Go to the bar later and I'll ask the kitchen to make you steak and pasta."

Qi Yu thought this was a good arrangement, so she personally went to give it to the receptionist and reminded her that she ordered medium spicy.

A moment later, Xu Yan enthusiastically led Qi Yu to the elevator, and the two arrived at the top-floor bar.

In the early hours of the morning, the bar was doing good business. Groups of young people sat at a table, chatting and laughing while enjoying the bustling night view and neon lights of the city.

Qi Yu followed Xu Yan to a table in the corner where one of his male friends was sitting.

The other person's dress was not like that of an ordinary person. He had dreadlocks on his head, cross earrings on his ears, and tattoos on the back of his hands. He had a hip-hop style.

"Qi Yu, this is my classmate Aidan in the UK. You can call him A Dan or Dan Ge. He was held back a grade and is two years older than us."

Xu Yan said the second half of the sentence, intentionally creating a relaxed atmosphere, and continued to introduce Qi Yu's identity.

"A Dan, this is my high school classmate Qi Yu. I brought her here to eat something."

A Dan curled his lips and greeted Qi Yu in Mandarin with a Cantonese accent: "Hello, beautiful girl."

Qi Yujing looked at Brother Dan for two seconds, thinking that the word "beautiful girl" should just be an ordinary address. She nodded politely and then sat opposite him.

Xu Yan disappeared for a while, and only Qi Yu and A Dan were sitting opposite each other.

A Dan had a cold face and a dull temperament. He didn't talk to Qi Yu, but took out his mobile phone to play games, saving Qi Yu the trouble of socializing.

Soon, Xu Yan brought a meal and a glass of pear juice and placed them in front of Qi Yu.

"I just expedited this order, so eat it while it's hot."

Qi Yu blinked her clear and beautiful eyes. The aroma of the pasta and steak filled the air. She simply said thank you, then picked up her knife and fork and started eating.

A Dan continued to play games, and Xu Yan talked to him intermittently.

Qi Yu buried her head in her food and heard words like "performance" and "show" from their conversation, as if Adam was an artist.

Midway through, Xu Yan distractedly asked Qi Yu: "Is it delicious? We also have fried chicken nuggets, fried fish nuggets, and French fries. Do you want some? I'll get them for you."

Qi Yu shook her head. She would only stay in this hotel for a week and would have another chance to come back.

After finishing the game, Dan threw his phone on the table with a loud bang and said to Xu Yan, "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to eat?"

Xu Yan curled his lips, not taking it seriously. "Didn't you just eat an hour ago? You're starving so quickly, be careful not to gain weight!"

Qi Yu not only finished her staple food, but also drank a large glass of pear juice. She stood up and wanted to go to the bathroom. Xu Yan made room for her and kindly pointed her in the direction.

Not long after, Adam picked up the butterbeer next to him and drank it all, then stood up from the table and left his seat.

……

That morning, Zhang Pei would take Muchenan's private plane to the United States, so he planned to stay up all night and invite a few friends out for drinks.

The lighting in this bar is always dim, with only a dim chandelier above each table. Only the bathroom is well-lit and brightly lit.

Zhang Pei went into the men's restroom to use the toilet, cigarette in hand. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a man dressed in a strange style beside him, and glanced at him casually.

This is A Dan, the rapper who has become very popular both at home and abroad recently.

I heard that he will have several performances in Linjiang in a few days. It’s a pity that Zhang Pei has to go to the United States, otherwise he would also be there to join in the fun.

Adam left after using the restroom. Zhang Pei stood at the sink and finished smoking his cigarette before leaving. He never expected that Adam and a woman were standing at the end of the corridor, facing each other and having a serious conversation.

Zhang Pei didn't care about A Dan, but turned his gaze to the woman. He stared at her soft profile and walked slowly forward. After a while, he recognized the person.

Why is Qi Yu here?

She actually knew Adam?

The two people in the distance finished talking and left together.

Zhang Pei followed them quietly and found that they returned to the same table. He walked around and looked carefully. There were only two people at that table, a man and a woman.

Early morning date?

In Zhang Pei's memory, Qi Yu was a good girl who couldn't be more obedient, and she shouldn't have played with such a rapper with bad conduct.

He returned to his table, held his chin in his hand and remained silent.

His friend asked him what was wrong?

Zhang Pei shook his head and said nothing, struggling for a long time. If he didn't tell Mu Chenan now, he would not be able to hold it back in the future. Besides, he was considering Qi Yu's personal safety, so it wasn't considered meddling in other people's business.

He stood up again, walked to the elevator, and called Mu Chenan.

After returning home from get off work last night, Mu Chenan worked overtime with his colleagues in the United States. In the middle of the work, he saw a text message from Qi Yu.

[Hello, I have left Linjiang.]

You don't even say hello, how rude.

Mu Chenan felt a little unhappy when he saw the text message, so he simply ignored it and did not reply.

Anyway, he is about to go abroad, and since Qi Yu doesn't want to be under his control, let her go.

After finishing overtime, he decided to pack up his luggage to take to the United States. At this moment, Zhang Pei called.

This guy didn't sleep either.

He leaned back on the sofa and clicked to answer the call.

"Chen An, I don't care whether you are asleep or not, just listen to me and tell you something!"

Zhang Pei spoke quickly. He was distracted by the people getting on the elevator behind him, worried that Qi Yu would leave with A Dan at any time. After all, if a man and a woman left the bar, there would definitely be bad news.

"I'm listening, go ahead." He replied in a lazy voice.

"I'm drinking at the XUYAN Sky Bar right now. I just saw Qi Yu. She's with a dirty guy."

Mu Chenan's face darkened instantly, and he easily saw through Qi Yu's lie.

She actually didn't leave Linjiang.

“What dirty man?”

"A rapper, a hip-hop singer. He's great at writing and singing songs, but he has very poor personal ethics and is particularly fond of promiscuous relationships. I'm worried that little sister Qi Yu might be deceived, so I'm rushing to inform you."

After Zhang Pei finished speaking, he silently waited for Mu Chenan's reply.

There was silence on the other end for a long time. I thought Mu Chenan didn't intend to care about this matter. Zhang Pei was not Qi Yu's brother, so he had no right to interfere. Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I heard a sinister and cold male voice.

"Keep an eye on her for me, I'm coming over now!"
