124: Chapter 124 Xiao Ran's best friend is in trouble

His voice was raspy, carrying the laziness of someone who had just woken up.

Wang Yang didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Qin Xiaoran's face flushed instantly. She tried to pull her finger back, but he held it tight, and she couldn't move it.

"I... I didn't."

Wang Yang opened his eyes and looked at her.

Her face was so red it looked like it was on fire. Her eyes were watery, her lips pursed, and her lower lip bitten pale.

He smiled and pressed a kiss to her finger.

"If you want to look, then look. It's not like I'm stopping you."

Qin Xiaoran's face grew even redder, and she buried it in the crook of his neck.

Wang Yang chuckled, gently patting her back.

"Are you hungry?"

Qin Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded.

"A little..."

"Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Qin Xiaoran shook her head, her face flushing again. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"No..."

Wang Yang smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Such a good girl."

Qin Xiaoran snuggled into his arms, a smile on her lips and her heart feeling sweet.

Wang Yang patted her bottom.

"Get up, I'll take you out to eat."

Qin Xiaoran nodded, wriggled out of his arms, and sat up.

The quilt slipped down, revealing her smooth upper body.

She quickly pulled the quilt back to cover herself, her face burning red.

"You, close your eyes. Don't look at me..."

Wang Yang leaned against the headboard with his hands behind his head, a smile on his face.

"Is there any part of you I haven't seen? Hmm? We've already been so intimate, and you're still saying this to me?"

Qin Xiaoran's face turned even redder. Her fingers gripped the quilt so hard her knuckles turned white.

"You, you're mean."

Wang Yang laughed.

"You're being a bit naughty. I'll have to punish you next time."

Qin Xiaoran bit her lip, not daring to look at him.

She took a deep breath, threw back the covers, turned around with her back to him, and began to get dressed.

Her back was very white and straight, her shoulder blades faintly visible.

Her waist was slender and her hips were rounded, like a ripe peach.

She put on her underwear, fastened it, and then slipped on that black lace nightgown.

Wang Yang leaned against the headboard, watching her the whole time.

His gaze slid from her back to her waist, from her waist to her legs, and then back up to her back.

Qin Xiaoran felt his gaze; her whole body felt hot, and her hands were trembling.

Once she was dressed, she turned around, her face flushed, and glared at him.

"Have you seen enough?"

Wang Yang smiled.

"Not enough. I could never see enough of you."

Qin Xiaoran bit her lip, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

She walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's go eat."

Wang Yang sat up with a smile and got dressed.

The two of them walked out of the room, and the door closed behind them.

Qin Xiaoran glanced back at the messy bed, her face flushing and her heart pounding.

...

Half an hour later, the black X5M pulled up in front of a restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't large, but the decor was exquisite, with wood-colored tables and chairs, warm yellow lighting, and a single rose on every table.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were polished to a shine, and sunlight streamed in, falling onto the booths by the window.

Wang Yang walked in, holding Qin Xiaoran's hand.

Today, she was wearing a cream-colored slim-fit knit sweater with a slightly open collar, revealing her pale collarbones.

Below that was a black pleated miniskirt, the hem just barely covering the tops of her thighs.

It revealed a pair of legs clad in black silk stockings, slender and straight, with a faint sheen under the sunlight.

On her feet were a pair of black Martin boots, the laces tied loosely, making her legs look even longer.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, the ends slightly curled and swaying behind her head.

She wore no makeup, but her skin was fair and translucent, like a peeled egg.

Her face was rosy, her eyes bright, and a smile played on her lips.

Wang Yang held her hand; her palm was a bit sweaty, but she wasn't nervous at all.

With Wang Yang by her side and her hand in his, she felt completely confident.

The two of them sat down in a booth by the window.

The Waitress handed them the menu. Wang Yang took it and opened it.

"What do you want to eat?"

Qin Xiaoran leaned over to look at the menu.

"Anything is fine... you order..."

Wang Yang smiled and ordered a few dishes.

Braised pork ribs, steamed sea bass, poached shrimp, broccoli with garlic, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

The Waitress took the menu and left. Wang Yang held Qin Xiaoran's hand, his fingertip tracing light circles in her palm.

Qin Xiaoran's face was red, but she didn't pull away, letting him continue.

Before the food arrived, Qin Xiaoran's phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up to look, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

Her brow furrowed as she swiped the screen to answer.

"Hello? Xiaoyi? What's wrong?"

A girl's voice came from the other end, tearful, urgent, and panicked.

"Xiaoran... come quickly... someone's causing trouble... I'm so scared..."

Qin Xiaoran's expression changed, and her voice grew urgent.

"Don't panic! Tell me slowly! Where are you?"

The voice on the other end was intermittent and tearful.

"At the shop... there's a customer... he's insisting I drink with him... I refused... so he started smashing things... and the boss won't do anything..."

Qin Xiaoran gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Wait for me, I'm coming right now!"

She hung up and looked at Wang Yang, her eyes welling up.

"Brother Yang... something happened to my friend..."

Wang Yang looked at her.

"What happened?"

Qin Xiaoran bit her lip.

"She's working part-time at a shop, and a customer is giving her trouble... I need to go see her..."

Wang Yang stood up and grabbed his car keys.

"Let's go. I'll take you there."

Qin Xiaoran was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Yang..."

Wang Yang reached out and took her hand.

"Don't worry. I'm here."

Qin Xiaoran's tears fell, not out of sadness, but from being moved.

It was the feeling of having someone stand by her side when she was most anxious.

She nodded vigorously and followed him out.

...

Meiyu Entertainment Club was located on a bustling street.

The entrance was decorated magnificently, with neon signs flickering with an ambiguous light in the night.

Many luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and the customers coming in and out were all wealthy or influential.

This club had been open in Yuntian City for several years.

The boss behind it had some background, and people in the underworld gave him a certain amount of respect.

In a private room on the third floor, the lighting was dim and suggestive.

Leather sofas formed a semi-circle, and the coffee table was covered with drinks and snacks.

The air was thick with a complex scent of cigarette smoke mixed with perfume.

Five or six men were scattered across the sofas, dressed in various styles—some in suits and leather shoes, others in floral shirts and thick gold chains.

But all of them had an uncomfortable look in their eyes.

The leader was a man in his early thirties with a buzz cut.

A green dragon was tattooed on his neck, emerging from his collar with its claws bared.

He sat with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, smoke puffing from his nostrils.

He narrowed his eyes, sizing up the girl standing before him.

Bai Yuyan stood by the coffee table, holding a tray with both hands, her fingers trembling.

She was wearing a bunny girl uniform—a black bodysuit with a low-cut neckline.

It revealed her pale collarbones and a glimpse of cleavage.

A white bunny tail pom-pom was attached to her waist, fluffy and round, swaying gently with her breath.
