Chapter 160 — The Waiting One
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Gu Mengyao was still caught in her anxious uncertainty when she heard someone speaking beside her. She turned her head and saw a very refined-looking man.
A man described as refined meant he was virtually flawless - and not the creamy, soft pretty-boy type. This man had a good build, tall and well-proportioned, with strong, handsome features that gave an impression of cleanliness and excellent taste.
He wore a casual suit, the buttons left naturally undone, lending him an air of carefree ease, a cool kind of charm...
This sort of man could absolutely be called a heartbreaker. But Gu Mengyao had no interest in him whatsoever - her mind was already in turmoil, and now another complication had wandered in. She still had no idea how to deal with the previous "duck..." When her eyes darted about, she pointed at the pretty boy from before and said, "Can't you see there's a man here now?" Gu Mengyao's intention was to get the two of them riled up against each other, but to her surprise, the moment the pretty boy caught sight of the refined man, he shot to his feet as though terrified, turned, and walked away without a single word.
"This..." Gu Mengyao was nearly speechless. What kind of person was this? What a spineless coward! And he came out working as a duck?
"Hehe, ladies, he has already given up his seat," the refined man said with a faint smile, settling into the chair the pretty boy had vacated and raising the glass of red wine in his hand. "Let us have a drink together..."
Gu Mengyao was no fool. The fact that the pretty boy had so readily yielded his seat to this refined man meant the refined man was probably a regular at this bar, and the pretty boy knew him. The refined man clearly carried some clout, otherwise the pretty boy would not have slunk away so meekly.
She turned to look at Shen Yushu and found that Shen Yushu was looking at her too. It seemed they had arrived at the same conclusion: this refined man was not someone to tangle with. It was their first time at a bar and neither wanted to invite trouble. If word got back to Gu Pengzhan, they would certainly get an earful.
"Sorry, we drove here," Gu Mengyao said coldly, having no desire to exchange pleasantries with the refined man. If he had any sense of propriety, he would get up and leave now.
"Oh? I didn't notice..." The refined man seemed entirely unfazed by her displeasure. "That man who just left - if I'm not mistaken, he's one of the male escorts here, isn't he?"
Seeing that Shen Yushu still said nothing, Gu Mengyao could only snort on her own. This girl could only act wild back home; out in the world, the moment things looked dangerous, she went silent. Gu Mengyao was absolutely furious.
"I imagine the two of you are here looking for a thrill..." The refined man dropped his earlier civility, his words growing frankly suggestive. "Let us speak plainly. Rather than spending money to chase excitement, why not... hehe, I think I can satisfy your needs." "What did you say?" Color flooded Gu Mengyao's face in an instant. What was he implying? She was still a virgin, damn it! Thrill her ass. She shifted sideways in her seat, suddenly feeling that coming to this bar had been a mistake.
"No need to play innocent - why pretend with me..." The refined man reached out without the slightest hesitation and tried to lay a hand on Gu Mengyao's lovely bare shoulder, clearly intent on stealing a kiss.
Gu Mengyao panicked and dodged quickly. Shen Yushu had not expected the refined man to get physical so directly either. She turned to look for Wei Zhao - but where was Wei Zhao?
"Smack." Before the refined man's hand could touch Gu Mengyao, it was caught mid-air and deflected aside.
"That's right, no need to pretend. Who sent you? Let the person behind you come out..." Wei Zhao gripped the refined man's arm, his voice cold.
