The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord
Chapter 175 Bar (2)
In a corner of the bar, Ying Ni found an ideal booth. While discreet, it allowed her to easily scan the entire dance floor, capturing every dancing figure and every subtle expression. The booth's clever layout provided ample privacy, like an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustle of the world. She ordered some exquisite snacks, refreshing drinks, and fresh fruit, which she placed on the small table before her, preparing for the evening ahead. These treats not only provided a treat but also allowed her to relax and take in her surroundings.
Following the beat of the music, Ying Ni pulled out her tablet and opened a drawing app. She began sketching vivid images on the screen, capturing the joys and sorrows of those around her with lines and colors. Her fingers danced lightly across the screen, as if in sync with the music. However, just as she was absorbed in her creation, a sudden "pop" and the ensuing screams shattered the lively atmosphere of the bar, interrupting her creative flow.
The music abruptly stopped, the dancers on the dance floor paused, and the entire bar's clamor froze. Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound, including Ying Ni. She set down her tablet and huddled against the sofa in the booth. She looked across from her booth, focusing on the source of the scream. Everyone in the bar was captivated by this sudden event, flocking to the booth to get a glimpse of what was going on. A tense and curious atmosphere hung in the air, everyone speculating on what had happened.
Amidst the frenzy of gossip, Ying Li's attention was completely captivated by the events unfolding in the booth across from her. Her heartbeat quickened, and curiosity drove her to understand what was happening. Her eyes unconsciously darted inward, trying to catch any clues from the crowd. Her ears perked up, trying to discern any sounds from the surrounding clamor.
Inside this bar, each booth, furnished with comfortable sofas, seemed to compete with each other in layout. Between the booths, delicate wooden partitions cleverly divided the space, intricately carved with patterns that seemed to tell stories of ancient history. However, these patterns did not provide adequate sound insulation, but instead made the noise from the next door even louder. In the booth next to Ying, a commotion suddenly broke out, making this spot the best place in the bar to "eat melons." People looked sideways, trying to peek through the cracks in the partitions, while Ying was completely captivated by the sudden incident.
Security quickly rushed to the booth where the commotion had broken out. The music soon resumed, and the crowd, facing the towering security guards, returned to the dance floor, dancing to the music. Despite this, many people's attention remained fixed on the area. The security guards used their bodies to block curious glances, striving to minimize the impact of the minor disturbance. Amidst the chaos, Ying Ni remained remarkably calm. She used the few minutes she had to quickly process the entire incident. She already had a general understanding of the entire situation.
A drunk in a booth, impulsively, began to grope a female bartender. She resisted, but the man went even further, attempting to physically assault her. In this tense moment, the female bartender, armed with a bottle, defended her dignity and gave the man a smack in the face. A nearby woman, seeing the blood, screamed in terror, her voice piercing the entire bar. The scene heightened the atmosphere in the bar, with people speculating and wondering what would happen next.
Ying Ni gently placed her hands behind her back, closed her eyes, and began to calculate the man's fate. She felt that his destiny was like a winding river; all she had to do now was to make a subtle, yet decisive, change in its direction at a crucial point. She took a deep breath, and then, at that moment, she made a subtle move at a crucial point. She believed that this small change would have a profound impact on the man's fate.
Inside the luxurious private room atop the bar, soft, slightly dim lighting creates a mysterious and intimate atmosphere. The walls are draped in dark velvet, adorned with gold accents, giving it a faint, shimmering glow. In the center of the room sits a large, round leather swivel chair, where a man, his eyes closed, rests. His features are blurred in the shadows, yet his calm demeanor is unmistakable. His slender fingers tap the tabletop in a slow, measured rhythm, as if playing a silent melody. Everything around him is hushed, the only sound being the gentle tapping of his fingertips against the tabletop and the low, distant music from the bar weaving a unique rhythm.
Just then, a supervisor hurried in, his face tense and anxious. He stood before the man and respectfully reported the matter he had just handled. The man opened his eyes slightly, a subtle glint of unease flickering in his deep, deep gaze. Though he appeared to be handling the situation with ease, deep down, he knew he was facing an unpredictable situation. This situation could impact his future, even alter the trajectory of his destiny.
"Very well, you may withdraw! Tell Xie to come back and see me." The man's voice was deep and powerful, his tone conveying an unquestionable command. The person in charge nodded and quickly left the room, leaving the man alone to face the upcoming challenge. The man closed his eyes again, trying to calm his mind. He knew that every step forward was crucial and could not afford to make any mistakes.
The man closed his eyes again, trying to calm his mind. From the moment Ying Ni stepped into this bar, he had sensed the ripples of fate within her. Of all the rules of this world, the bonds of cause and effect and destiny were the most profound, and he didn't know how to face her. Once, they had shared an indescribable affection, but before they could truly connect, he had been forced, due to some irresistible force of nature, to vanish from Ying Ni's world without warning. Now, facing her again, he was filled with mixed emotions: nostalgia for the past, mixed with uncertainty and anxiety about the future. He understood Ying Ni's personality and knew her inner world well. His decision to leave without saying goodbye undoubtedly dealt a heavy emotional blow to her, making her feelings for him complex and elusive.
