- Chapter 24 - When You Do Something Wrong, You Must Accept the Punishment
If she didn’t leave now and was discovered, Song Qingxing would certainly face a terrible ordeal.
So, she leaned slightly closer, her shoulder touching Yu Zhi’s, and whispered, “Yu Zhi, I’m going to the restroom. Can you be here by yourself?”
Yu Zhi turned her face towards Song Qingxing.
This bar had an excellent reputation, and the security was quite thorough, with bodyguards practically every few steps, so nothing major should happen.
She nodded.
“Sister Song, be careful. Absolutely do not drink any alcohol offered to you by others, even if they are acquaintances.”
Seeing the other woman cautioning her like a child, Song Qingxing felt a bit guilty. She wasn’t actually planning on going to the restroom; she was planning to sneak away.
“You be careful too. I’ll have Little He come over to pick you up later.”
Little He was the company driver. Song Qingxing figured if she sent him a red envelope, he would likely come.
“Thank you, Sister Song.”
Yu Zhi smiled sweetly and quickly turned her attention back to the handsome men gyrating on the stage. She was clearly immersed in the performance, especially since the ticket price for this evening was quite high.
Song Qingxing lowered her head and pulled her mask up, almost covering the area below her eyes.
Feeling more relaxed, she boldly brushed past Xie Jingcheng, only to hear that pleasant voice speak again.
“I have someone I like—she’s a woman. You don’t need to test me anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Song Qingxing’s body trembled. Was Xie Jingcheng talking about herself?
But didn’t she say that there was no need for feelings between them, and they only needed to fulfill their duties?
Due to this moment of daze, Song Qingxing was delayed, and she bumped into a man coming from the opposite direction, stumbling back several steps.
She nearly fell to the floor, looking quite flustered.
“Miss, are you alright?”
Just then, Xie Jingcheng’s cousin, who was beside her, quickly steadied the woman and asked softly and kindly.
Even though she was wearing a mask, her figure and attire suggested she was definitely a great beauty, which was why Xie Jingcheng’s cousin was so attentive.
Song Qingxing bit the tip of her tongue, her heart filled with extreme embarrassment.
Oh no… I tried to escape and failed!
And I’ve run into the big boss.
Sure enough, Song Qingxing’s seductive and graceful figure quickly caught Xie Jingcheng’s attention. Seeing that the woman remained silent, Xie Jingcheng’s cousin assumed she might be too nervous.
He was just about to let go.
Then, his cousin walked over and firmly grasped the woman’s wrist.
“What are you doing in a place like this?”
It’s over. She had hoped to pretend to be mute and slip away, but now there was no way out.
Song Qingxing felt helpless.
“Xie Jingcheng, aren’t you afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi coming to a place like this? You’re not even wearing a mask.”
Song Qingxing knew in her heart that even if the paparazzi came, they probably wouldn’t dare to take photos, and even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to post them online.
Therefore, Xie Jingcheng was usually quite relaxed in private, only needing to avoid fans.
In a place like this, there were very few fans.
Moreover, Xie Jingcheng was wearing a cap. If one didn’t look closely, it would be hard to recognize her.
“I’m just accompanying him…”
Xie Jingcheng’s explanation stopped halfway. Song Qingxing wasn’t actually curious about why she wouldn’t be photographed; she clearly just wanted to change the subject.
“No. Where I go is my freedom. On the contrary, Song Qingxing, you…”
When Xie Jingcheng narrowed her eyes, the sense of threat was overwhelming. The imposing aura of a noble family’s daughter instantly shone through, creating an almost suffocating pressure.
“Have you forgotten the agreement between us?”
“I’m really just accompanying Yu Zhi, honestly.”
But to be honest, even Song Qingxing herself didn’t believe the words she spoke, so her ears turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Xie Jingcheng.
Oh, my goodness, can someone teach me?
What should I do when I’m caught sneaking out to have fun by my sugar mommy?
Her toes curled up inside her shoes. If there was truly a skill to dig into the ground with one’s toes, Song Qingxing felt she could probably dig out a whole school of mermaids.
“You’re coming back with me. As for everything else, we’ll discuss it later.”
Xie Jingcheng pulled her away, unaware that this scene between the two of them had already attracted the attention of others, and some were already beginning to secretly speculate.
“Did you notice? She looks a lot like Xie Jingcheng.”
“You must be joking. Xie Jingcheng would never come to a place like this!”
The person next to him simply laughed and denied it, refusing to believe that the cold and refined Xie Jingcheng, who was the darling of the nation, would come to such a noisy, mundane place.
Song Qingxing stumbled forward all the way, like a weak willow branch swaying in the wind, her body trembling non-stop.
Her wrist was also gripped painfully.
She was practically thrown into the car. Since her rebirth, Xie Jingcheng had always treated her with courtesy and tenderness.
But today was the first time she was truly angry and anxious.
Song Qingxing was pressed into the soft car seat. She expected to be strangled.
She even thought that, like in some twisted novels, Xie Jingcheng would do something inappropriate to her right then and there, regardless of whether anyone was around.
However, none of the terrifying predictions in her mind came to pass.
The person in front of her was merely red-eyed.
Song Qingxing’s shoulders were held, but it didn’t hurt at all. If she truly put all her strength into it right now, she would be able to push Xie Jingcheng away.
“Why would you go to a place like that?”
“I like cleanliness, and besides…”
“Those men might have illnesses, Qingxing. That’s not good for your health.”
It was the posture of an overbearing CEO, yet the words spoken were not overbearing at all.
Xie Jingcheng, having shed her strong exterior, seemed to have become soft and easily bullied.
It was like biting through the thick chocolate shell of an ice cream to find a flowing center, mixed with some crushed nuts.
It was truly irresistible.
“I really was just accompanying Yu Zhi.”
Song Qingxing frantically tried to reach for her phone, but her arms were held down, giving her very little range of motion.
She couldn’t reach it at all.
Song Qingxing wasn’t the type of person to keep her phone in her pocket; she usually preferred to keep it in her purse.
After all, what’s the point of a girl buying a bag if she doesn’t carry anything in it? These beautiful bags would be useless.
Heh… what a coincidence.
Both of them were out accompanying someone else.
Xie Jingcheng closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were curled and beautiful even without mascara.
“Really, if you don’t believe me, look at my phone. Um, the password is…”
Before Song Qingxing could utter a single word, her lips were covered, and she could only make some muffled, meaningless sounds.
“I believe you.”
Although Xie Jingcheng said this, she didn’t let go.
“But, Song Qingxing, if you’ve done something wrong, shouldn’t you accept the punishment?”
Song Qingxing: !
She knew it would come to this sooner or later.
Before she could speak, she saw Xie Jingcheng pull out a hair tie from somewhere. This hair tie was a black satin ribbon woven together.
There was no stretchable elastic inside.
So it was designed to be quite long.
“Now, you are not allowed to move your hands or feet.”
