When Qin Hai drove to the front of Lotus Clear Water Fragrance again, it had completely darkened. The two tall red lanterns hanging at the entrance of Lotus Clear Water Fragrance looked especially festive, visible from a great distance away.
After parking the car, Qin Hai headed straight to the private room where Shen Yue'e was supposed to be, but to his surprise, it was completely empty—Shen Yue'e and her guests had all vanished.
God damn it, did that woman play me again?
Qin Hai's head throbbed with frustration as he took out his phone and dialed Shen Yue'e, but no one answered until the very end.
He called twice with the same result. Qin Hai couldn't be bothered to call again, and turned to leave Lotus Clear Water Fragrance, feeling undeniably angry.
Just as Qin Hai was about to drive home, his phone rang again, and it was Shen Yue'e calling back.
