Chapter 40: After Being Cheated On 2
If he didn't have such strong self-control, he would have devoured the woman in his arms in the car.
What kind of medicine had she taken? The effects were so potent?
Once they returned to the room, Huo Qishang became less reserved. However, what he didn't expect was that this woman, who seemed so experienced, was actually… a virgin?
A night of tossing and turning!
Huo Qishang's biological clock was fixed. Even after a night of exertion, he would wake up promptly in the morning.
He turned on the bedside lamp and noticed Ning Yan's long legs exposed to the air. Tsk, slender and straight, truly a born enchantress. She was the most beautiful and charming woman he had ever seen.
Unfortunately, he had an important meeting to attend today; otherwise, he really wouldn't want to get out of bed.
He pulled the covers over the woman, gently removed her small hand from his abdomen. The woman let out a soft groan, her face full of impatience, and her hand returned to his lower abdomen.
Huo Qishang sighed helplessly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "You sleep well. I need to get up."
He would deal with their affairs properly after he finished his work.
Perhaps her ear was tickled by his warm breath, Ning Yan raised her hand, rubbed her ear, and turned over to continue sleeping.
When she woke up again, it was already 9:30 AM. She glanced around; the man was long gone. Two sets of clothes were placed by the bed: one was what she had originally worn, now clean and ironed, and the other was likely prepared for her by the man.
Rubbing her slightly sore waist, she put on her own clothes. After a quick wash, she picked up her handbag, which was quietly placed on the bedside table, found her phone, called a taxi, and left directly.
As she went downstairs, she ignored all the servants' gazes and hurried out of the manor.
Ning Yan didn't remember a word Huo Qishang had said in her ear; she only thought about sleeping with a handsome man last night and considered it a huge profit.
She took a taxi back to school. It was the beginning of her senior year, and some of her dorm mates were planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Ning Yan didn't know what to do after graduation, so she simply decided to take the exam too.
Thus, Ning Yan registered online directly.
During lunch break, someone approached her with good news.
"Ning Yan, how can you still be in class? Do you know that your Li Tingxuan has been arrested?"
The person was a student from the computer science department, seemingly in the same class as Li Tingxuan. However, their tone was somewhat gloating, indicating they probably didn't like Li Tingxuan.
Ning Yan smiled, "Arrested? Why was he arrested?"
Bai Chenxing looked at Ning Yan's expression and became a bit uncertain. Didn't they say the campus belle was deeply in love with Li Tingxuan?
It didn't seem like it now.
"I heard something happened when he was discussing business with an investor at a hotel. He was taken away by the police on the spot, and a call was made to our counselor. The specific situation isn't clear yet. You should go ask about it quickly."
Ning Yan pulled out her phone and saw it was turned off.
Bai Chenxing had a complicated expression. He knew the reason: getting involved in a 4P with men was too disgusting to hear, and Ning Yan, being so delicate and innocent, probably wouldn't be able to handle the shock.
Sigh, he should have known not to come over, but he had good intentions, fearing Ning Yan would be hurt.
That Li Tingxuan clearly had ambitions. How could Ning Yan possibly contend with him?
"Well, it's probably nothing major. You don't need to worry too much."
Ning Yan looked at the young man. Hmm, a 'puppy' type, quite fair-skinned, and not ill-intentioned. "Then, thank you, classmate Bai."
She wasn't worried. She wasn't worried at all. She wished something bad would happen to Li Tingxuan.
She had deliberately turned off her phone. Those few men… he probably wouldn't be detained for too long. She was afraid that guy named Li would call her, and she found it disgusting.
In a good mood, she had a nice lunch. Well, not too nice. The Original Host was quite poor. Besides the two hundred-plus yuan for food on her meal card, she only had a little over three hundred yuan left in her account.
She needed to make some money.
The Original Host majored in English in college, with French as a second foreign language. And to be worthy of Li Tingxuan, the Original Host had obtained every certificate she could. There were still many companies recruiting on campus, so it seemed she needed to quickly find an internship.
One week later.
Ning Yan, dressed in a high-end custom outfit, appeared at a charity gala for the upper class.
Hmm, the dress was a gift from her French boss, Henry.
"Ning, I told you, you are so beautiful, you are suited for the most magnificent dresses.
You are the most beautiful woman at this banquet."
Ning Yan knew she was beautiful and didn't mind being the most eye-catching person at the banquet, despite being just a translator.
Beauty is no crime!
If she had beautiful clothes to wear, she wouldn't shortchange herself.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Henry only knew simple phrases like "hello," "thank you," and "goodbye," so the two communicated entirely in French.
The big boss from France didn't really lack a translator when he chose Ning Yan; rather, he was captivated by Ning Yan's beauty. After just one meeting, he decided to pursue her.
Ning Yan didn't care what his intentions were. She only knew that by accompanying Henry to the banquet tonight, Henry had transferred 10,000 euros as an appearance fee. Once she took the money, she had to do her translation job well. Anything else was none of her business.
"Oh, my friend is here, Ning. Let's go and say hello."
Ning Yan followed Henry through the crowd and then saw two familiar faces.
Ning Yan's expression remained unchanged, but Assistant Li Tingxuan glanced at Ning Yan, then secretly peeked at his own CEO. His expression looked like that of a thief.
"Huo, long time no see. I've been trying to make plans with you, but you always said you were busy. Surely you have time tonight."
"No time!" Huo Qishang glanced at Ning Yan, then replied indifferently, "It just so happens I can discuss our cooperation with you tonight."
Huo Qishang's French was excellent; it sounded pleasantly comfortable to the ear.
Henry: "No no, Huo, it's after hours now. We don't talk business. You'll shorten your life like that."
"Then let's schedule another time tomorrow. In half an hour, I'll be leaving the banquet to go home and rest."
"Oh, my goodness, Huo, you are truly awful! I just wanted to catch up! Fine, let's talk business, let's talk business!"
The four moved to a private room in the club and, against their will, discussed business for over two hours.
"It's getting late. I'm heading back now. Come to my company tomorrow to sign the contract."
Henry thought to himself: If this person weren't his old classmate, he wouldn't put up with this annoyance!
"Ah, finally done! You go, you go! I want to relax here."
Huo Qishang, without the slightest hesitation, picked up his laptop and documents and left the private room with his assistant.
After the two left, Ning Yan glanced at her watch. "Henry, I need to go back too.
Do you need me to see you back to your hotel?"
"No no, I am a man. How can I let a young lady see me off? I should be seeing you off."
Ning Yan waved her hand, "I refuse. In that case, let's both go home. We'll contact each other by phone if needed."
Henry reluctantly agreed, and Ning Yan gathered her belongings and left the private room.
As soon as she stepped out of the private room, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.
