Chapitre 9: Chapter 9: The Premium Goods of the 6th Floor
Shen Hanqian sat at the bar, drinking one glass of brandy after another. The cold liquid mixed with tears, sliding down her throat, only to bring about more sorrow and tears.
Tonight she wanted to get drunk, hoping that inebriation would numb her heart's pain, erasing the images of his betrayal and blocking out the unbearable insults.
Maybe it would also let her temporarily forget the pain of losing her child?
Soon, more than half a bottle of brandy had been consumed.
Drunk and dizzy, she left the high stool and staggered over to the elevator. "Junnan, you called me cheap, you said I was no better than those who sell themselves, right? Well, tonight I'll prove you right!"
She decided on a one-night stand tonight. She had carried a false accusation for five years, and she didn't want to bear it for another five. If she was to bear any blame, it would be for something real.
As the floors rapidly ascended, she knew that this nightclub provided "services" on the fifth and sixth floors.
Groggy, she tilted her head to look at the '6' on the floor indicator. "How strange, why is this '6' flipped upside down?"
With a 'ding', the elevator door slid open.
Shen Hanqian stepped out in her high heels, her face flushed with drink.
The elevator doors closed quickly; next to them was the sign for '9'.
Visiting the 'sixth' floor for the first time, Shen Hanqian was a bit dazed. The luxurious lobby was quiet, with hardly anyone in the corridors. The few people she did see were in pairs.
As she was worrying about not finding the floor manager or madam, a very upscale-looking man emerged from the elevator.
"Tell him, I won't be coming home tonight due to social obligations... If he throws a tantrum, let him; he'll sleep once he's tired out. I'll return tomorrow morning, that's all," said Xiao Qingcang, having just exited the elevator and hanging up the phone.
Flushed from drinking, he headed straight for his room!
The owner of the nightclub happened to be his childhood friend, so he kept a permanent room here for occasions when entertaining ran late.
His lucky number was 9, which is why his room was on the ninth floor, the ninth one.
Just as he was about to insert his key card and open the door, a pair of soft arms encircled his neck.
"Tonight it's going to be you. You better perform well," said the woman, burping from alcohol.
Xiao Qingcang frowned, disliking the drunken woman throwing herself at him.
He turned to push her away.
But in an instant, he saw a flushed, drunken face looking back at him.
"Miss, you must be really drunk!" he said as he pulled the stranger's arms away from him.
Although the thirty-one-year-old was not exactly chaste, he was very selective with women, never choosing to engage randomly.
He was even less interested in a woman of dubious origin, especially one who was completely drunk.
"No, I haven't had too much, I know exactly what I'm doing!" Shen Hanqian got angry, clinging more aggressively to the man before her.
"Let go!" Xiao Qingcang commanded, frowning in disgust.
"No, I won't let go. You're not getting away from me!" She held onto him tightly, as if she had spotted a deity of wealth.
This man was so handsome, incredibly so, and tonight she wasn't going to let him slip through her fingers no matter what.
"You name it, how much money you want, I can afford any amount!" Shen Hanqian said with a chuckle.
Xiao Qingcang replied coldly, "You better let go of me now, or things will end very badly for you."
"Then let me die!"
Shen Hanqian, provoked, suddenly burst into tears. "Why are you cursing at me too? Am I really that bad? Wuu wuu..."
Her husband didn't want her; she was willing to pay for a man, yet this man didn't want her either?
She might as well be dead.
After saying this, she stumbled toward the corridor window, dazed.
Xiao Qingcang swiftly pulled her down. "Enough, what on earth do you want?"
Shen Hanqian, now held in his arms, suddenly smiled. "Hehe, you must care about me after all. I'm going into your room with you!"
Xiao Qingcang, having no choice, could only bring her into the room first and then look for someone.
But as soon as they entered,
the next second, the police kicked open the door and stormed into the room.
"Ah—" Shen Hanqian, at the sight of the police, quickly covered her head with a blanket!
Xiao Qingcang's face turned deathly cold. Damn, this must be a setup.
"You two can remain silent for now. Later at the police station, explain everything clearly!" the police officer stated authoritatively, showing his badge.
