Chapter 27: She Wanted To Be The Damsel Saving The Hero

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A man in a white suit reached out to support Mu Qingxue. “Are you alright?”

Mu Qingxue looked at the man who had suddenly touched her. The man’s handsome features stunned her for a moment before she said, “Thank you.”

Xia Xia was also shocked by the man’s good looks. “You, who are you?”

The man’s aloof voice was shockingly cold. “There are surveillance cameras in the corridor. Should I call the police and let them decide who should apologize?”

Xia Xia’s face was a little pale. She didn’t say anything else and left with a red face.

Mu Qingxue looked at the man gratefully. “Sir, thank you so much for helping me out.”

As she said that, she bowed to the man politely.

This made the man laugh.

He used a finger to gently lift Mu Qingxue’s chin. His gaze was very fiery, as though he wanted to strip her naked. “What’s your name?”

Mu Qingxue’s face turned red. She stepped back and said, “Sir, please have some self-respect.”

His tailored suit, his custom-made wrist.w.a.tch, and his handsome face made him look like Prince Charming from her dreams. However, although she didn’t know why, she felt that this man was very dangerous.

Therefore, after saying this, Mu Qingxue turned around.

She ran away.

The man looked at Mu Qingxue’s back and curled his lips with intrigue. “Interesting.”

From the surveillance video, Ye Qingran immediately checked the man’s information.

This man was one of the male leads, Long Junyao.

He was also the boss of the Dragon Palace.

He was a gentleman who appeared to be graceful, well-dressed, and polite. He smiled at everyone.

However, among the five male leads, he was the most cold and scheming one as well as the most difficult one to deal with.

Ye Qingran didn’t expect that even he fell in love with Mu Qingxue at first sight.

It was such a r.e.t.a.r.ded hero saving the damsel in distress trope, and such a domineering CEO cliche.

How cheesy.

Ye Qingran switched to the small screen.

In another surveillance screen, she saw Mu Qingxue appear, and she looked back as she ran. She almost b.u.mped into Dongfang Yu again.

Dongfang Yu hooked his arm around her waist and asked her, “What’s wrong? You’re fl.u.s.tered.”

The two of them were in a rather intimate position.

Mu Qingxue’s gaze was affectionate, and her little face was slightly red like a fresh and tender little apple. Her voice was soft and gentle as she said, “It’s nothing.”

Dongfang Yu was moved.

Not only did he not let go, but he even pressed Mu Qingxue against the wall and kissed her…

Ye Qingran was shocked. “…”

They were kissing in the corridor in broad daylight?

And it was so intense.

Ye Qingran couldn’t control her imagination. Mu Qingxue and Dongfang Yu’s explosive s*x scenes started to appear in her mind.

No, no, no.

She couldn’t watch anymore.

Ye Qingran exited the surveillance screen and swiped the mouse to look at the others.

Suddenly, she found a familiar figure sitting in a private room.

This was..

She was slightly stunned. She tapped into the surveillance screen and zoomed in.

It was really Chu Yan.

He was half-leaning on the sofa. The coldness that came with him could be felt from the screen.

The surveillance camera captured his handsome side profile. His eyelashes, gently landing on his exquisitely carved face, were as thick as b.u.t.terfly wings.

No matter where he was, he was like the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. He could be seen at a glance.

There were a total of four people in the private room.

Besides him, there was He Cizhou, as well as a man and a woman she had never seen before.

That man was talking to Chu Yan and He Cizhou.

And that woman was standing at the bar counter next to the bar.

There was a row of deep-water bomb c.o.c.ktails on the bar counter.

The woman took a pill and threw it into the wine gla.s.s on the far right.

The pill melted into the golden liquid and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After the woman put it down, she even looked in Chu Yan’s direction. When she saw that no one was looking in her direction, she breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on her face, she served the wine on a tray.

The drugged cup of wine was placed right in front of Chu Yan.

From the way she looked at Chu Yan with a loving gaze and the slightly blus.h.i.+ng face, it was clear that she liked Chu Yan.

From this, she could guess what kind of drug she used this time.

Hehe. Ye Qingran sneered.

This woman was really bold.

She actually dared to drug Chu Yan!

Ye Qingran’s memory was exceptionally good. She almost had a photographic memory. Very quickly, she memorized the map layout of the Dragon Palace.

She cleaned up the traces and turned off the computer.

Then, she went straight to Chu Yan’s private room.

Ye Qingran appearing in the private room immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

She acted as if they were all friends. She waved at Chu Yan and He Cizhou, then greeted them with a smile, “What a coincidence, I actually ran into you guys here.”

Chu Yan: “…”

He Cizhou was surprised at first, then he smiled. “It’s you, Chu Yan’s sister’s cla.s.smate. Why are you here?”

Ye Qingran walked over and sat down beside Chu Yan. “I have a friend celebrating his birthday here.”

Chu Yan’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at her.

However, he still gave her face and didn’t ask her to move aside.

He Cizhou wanted to laugh. She was clearly a guest of Chu Yan’s, yet he had to greet him.

He introduced the man and woman in the room to Ye Qingran.

The man’s name was Xiang Haotian, and the woman’s name was Xiang Qingtian. They were brother and sister.

Ye Qingran greeted them warmly. “h.e.l.lo, both of you.”

“h.e.l.lo.”

Xiang Haotian and Xiang Qingtian merely curled their lips and put on a fake smile. They looked polite, but their eyes were filled with disdain.

It was obvious that they looked down on Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran seemed to be blind and acted as if she couldn’t sense anything. She stared straight at Xiang Qingtian. “Miss, you’re so beautiful.”

Xiang Qingtian, who was praised, immediately smiled. “Thank you.”

Ye Qingran’s voice became even more soft and gentle. “I wonder if I have the honor of having a drink with the beautiful lady?”

As she spoke, she picked up the cup on the table and handed one of the cups to Xiang Qingtian.

Xiang Qingtian looked at the cup of wine and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

How could it be such a coincidence? It was the cup that she drugged.

She looked at the pretty boy who had a gentle gaze in front of her. It didn’t seem like he was scheming at all.

Moreover, she was also certain that the other party couldn’t know about it.

Then, it could only be a coincidence.

“I’m sorry. The alcohol content of this wine is too high. I can’t drink it,” Xiang Qingtian found an excuse.

“But you have such an empty gla.s.s in front of you. It can be seen that you have drunk it before. Could it be that the pretty sister hates me?” Ye Qingran’s face was full of disappointment.

Xiang Qingtian: “…”

Although she looked down on Ye Qingran, a second generation rich kid from a small city, he was still Chu Yan’s sister’s cla.s.smate.

She had to put up with it.

She forced a smile. “Of course not.”

“Then why won’t you drink it?” Ye Qingran acted even more shocked. She tilted her head and fell into deep thought. Two seconds later, she suddenly reacted and asked in a loud voice, “Could it be that this cup of wine was drugged?”
