Chapter 101 Dangerous Distance
As soon as Xu Qingqing entered the room, she saw Pan Yue, who was having fun alone in the middle of the dance floor, and she pulled Kong Nanzhu over to say hello.
"Sister Nanzhu, thank you for visiting us. Please feel free to drink and have fun."
Pan Yue pulled Xu Qingqing into his arms and put his face directly in front of Xu Qingqing for a kiss. Xu Qingqing smiled and kissed his cheek, but Pan Yue suddenly turned his head at the last second and deliberately made a noise with his lips, the crispness of which could not be covered by the music, which earned him a shy thump from Xu Qingqing.
Kong Nanzhu said enviously: "Can you two please consider my feelings when showing your affection?"
Pan Yue was grinning, with his sunglasses clipped upside down on his ears and hanging behind his head. Kong Nanzhu was curious why they didn't fall off even when he shook his head, so he stared at his sunglasses for a few more seconds.
Pan Yue mistakenly noticed Kong Nanzhu's gaze and thought that Kong Nanzhu liked his earrings. "This is a new model in my store. If you like it, I'll give you a pair. Remember to take a photo for me and post it on Weibo, sister."
Xu Qingqing joked, "You are asking Nanzhu to advertise for you in disguise, and you're just giving her a pair of earrings? You have to pay for it."
Pan Yue sighed, full of jealousy, "After all, you two are closer. You don't help your man as a lobbyist, but help her take money out of my pocket."
It was just posting a Weibo, which was no big deal for Kong Nanzhu. She readily agreed to Pan Yue's request. The three of them took a photo together. Pan Yue shamelessly asked Kong Nanzhu to wear items from his store. He picked out a necklace pendant with complicated layers of circles on his neck, took it off and put it around Kong Nanzhu's neck.
"Sister Nanzhu, what does the necklace on your neck look like? Can you let me take a look?"
Out of professional habit, Pan Yue saw the simple silver chain around Kong Nanzhu's neck and was curious about the style of the pendant underneath, because generally the simpler the chain, the more exquisite the craftsmanship of the pendant underneath.
Kong Nanzhu touched his neck and picked the necklace out of his clothes with his index finger.
A ring.
It was the one Qin Qi gave her.
Pan Yue whistled and raised his eyebrows, "Ornaments with meaning are full of soul."
Xu Qingqing was dumbfounded, and looked at Kong Nanzhu as if he were a fool, "Why are you wearing this thing on your body?"
Kong Nanzhu: "For self-defense when necessary."
"You use diamonds for self-defense?"
"If you encounter a robber, pay the toll. If you encounter a rapist, put on your wrist and pretend to be married."
Xu Qingqing had a look on her face that said a child cannot be taught, and she spat in disdain, "I see you just won't give up, you hypocritical woman."
"I don't."
"You have."
"No."
"have."
"Okay, I do."
Xu Qingqing had nothing to say.
After a few glasses of foreign wine, Kong Nanzhu felt a little tipsy, and in the atmosphere, she slid into the dance floor, swaying her body slightly. She couldn't dance, but she had a strong sense of rhythm. She swayed left and right with the rhythm, casually, but each movement was in easy time. With her cold eyes, she exuded a lazy charm.
The eyes of all the male animals present were almost fixed on her.
Three or four men approached Kong Nanzhu and clinked glasses with her. This was Pan Yue's home turf, so Kong Nanzhu was not too wary. The men who came to chat with her were all good-looking, at least they were all young and fresh. Kong Nanzhu kept a certain distance and drank with them. When the other party expressed further thoughts, she turned around and left without hesitation.
"Nanzhu, the person in the corner seems to be taking a secret photo of you."
Xu Qingqing vigilantly pulled Kong Nanzhu aside. Following the direction she pointed, Kong Nanzhu squinted his eyes and saw a familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
When the other person noticed Kong Nanzhu's eyes looking at him, he immediately got up and hid in the bathroom, not coming out for a long time.
"I'll go ask Pan Yue who he is. How could he have such a frivolous guy around him?"
Just two minutes after Xu Qingqing left, Kong Nanzhu leaned back on the sofa, looking at the happy and indulgent crowd in front of him with a dazed look, his head spinning.
When Song Linyuan and Du Ying entered the room, they saw Kong Nanzhu lying on the sofa.
Pan Yue came forward and caught a glimpse of Du Ying's hand holding Song Linyuan's arm. He frowned slightly and raised his chin in the direction of Kong Nanzhu: "Brother, your muse seems to be worried."
Song Linyuan's eyes never left Kong Nanzhu. Without even turning his head, he shook off Du Ying's hand and walked straight towards Kong Nanzhu.
Pan Yue took two quick steps to catch up and tugged at Song Linyuan's clothes, " Why did you bring her here?"
All the friends in their circle knew that Song Linyuan had been hooking up with a female anchor in his company recently, but Song Linyuan was determined to win over . Although Pan Yue himself would not do such an extraordinary thing, it was not uncommon in their circle of second-generation people. Pan Yue was just wondering why Song Linyuan had to bring his sex buddy in front of his sweetheart.
"She came of her own accord. I can't control her."
Pan Yue couldn't understand what he was thinking. He turned around and saw Du Ying had already picked up a new glass and poured half a glass of whiskey into it. She tilted her head back and poured it into her mouth like drinking water.
Tsk tsk.
Only she herself knows how it feels.
Song Linyuan leaned over and called softly, "Sister Nanzhu."
Kong Nanzhu opened her eyes, and after her vision focused, her consciousness became slightly clearer, and she immediately distanced herself from Song Linyuan.
Ever since his true face was exposed at A-house last time, Kong Nanzhu has ignored Song Linyuan again. He doesn't answer his calls or reply to his messages. Even if Song Linyuan is a fool, he can feel that something is wrong.
That night in A-house, Deng Ke told Song Linyuan that he met Kong Nanzhu outside and that she had also been to the women's bathroom. Song Linyuan's face instantly turned pale.
Du Ying, who was applying lipstick at the sink, was very surprised to hear the news, "She's really here?"
Song Linyuan's eyes were as cold as a knife that could cut flesh, and he looked straight at Du Ying, "Is it you? You brought her here?"
Deng Ke quickly spoke up, "She came to celebrate her friend's birthday and happened to meet you. She didn't know you just now... She even asked for your table number. I said I had something to do and left first."
Song Linyuan responded vigilantly: "She knows I'm here?"
Deng Ke was stunned, and Du Ying sneered, "I really wanted to invite her to watch the show, but when I invited her to the magazine office this afternoon, she refused me."
Song Linyuan was about to get angry, but Deng Ke raised his hand to hold him back, "Alright, go back quickly, there are so many people waiting for you, if something happens, just admit it, it's your fault for not being able to take care of your own people."
Song Linyuan glared at Du Ying fiercely. Du Ying tilted her head to smile at him and winked at him coquettishly. Song Linyuan spat without relaxing his brows. He used Deng Ke's lighter to light a cigarette, regretting the sudden urge of lust.
Kong Nanzhu's indifference and disregard later on were enough to prove that she had indeed heard something.
Song Linyuan was somewhat unwilling to accept this result. What was a bigger blow to him than the fact that Kong Nanzhu disliked him was that Kong Nanzhu hated him.
And it happened under such a coincidence of circumstances.
He blamed all this on Du Ying. He had no habit of having affairs with men and women, and he had never had a purely physical relationship with anyone before. It was Du Ying who kept pestering him and offered herself to him for nothing, which led him to fall into this chaotic game and be unable to extricate himself.
Kong Nanzhu: "Why are you... here?"
"You are drunk, I will take you home."
Before coming today, Kong Nanzhu specifically asked Xu Qingqing to confirm with Pan Yue that Song Linyuan would not come, but unexpectedly, they still met him.
"No need to send me off. Qingqing and I will go back together..."
Song Linyuan sat down next to her and pointed at the inseparable couple on the dance floor, "Do you think she can go home with you tonight?"
Paralyzed by alcohol, Kong Nanzhu's consciousness was a little blurred, but her rationality was still online. She felt that Song Linyuan was a little different tonight. His aura was fierce, and there was an uncomfortable sense of aggression. Moreover, he was too close to her.
Kong Nanzhu instinctively wanted to escape.
