When Xiao Yufan and the other person successfully flagged down a taxi, their escape could already be considered a success. Compared to Xiao Yufan’s sharpness, those two bodyguards were far behind…
“How exciting… so thrilling…” The sense of security brought by the taxi instantly made Qin Menglu lively again. She hadn’t stopped murmuring since entering the car.
“Miss Qin, after running all this way, aren’t you tired yet? If you have the mood to chat, maybe you should think about what we should do next!” Xiao Yufan was somewhat helpless. It seemed this little miss had really been bored stiff—no sooner had she escaped her cage than her true nature quickly revealed itself.
“Isn’t it your responsibility to think about what comes next? After all, I’m the one you brought out…”
Ignoring Xiao Yufan’s clearly annoyed expression, Qin Menglu continued talking to herself, as if everything around her was so fascinating. Hearing her words, Xiao Yufan almost had the urge to abandon her on the spot.
“Could you at least try to be reasonable? You were the one who asked me to take you out! It feels like I’ve invited a living Buddha home!”
Xiao Yufan felt a headache coming on. If he really brought Qin Menglu to his apartment, not only would his lofty image be completely ruined, but he wouldn’t even be able to face Yu Yihan. He might even end up getting kicked out.
“As the saying goes, inviting a Buddha is easy, but getting rid of one is hard. I don’t think Brother Yu would have the heart to abandon me, a helpless girl, right?”
Putting on a pitiful expression, Qin Menglu gently tugged at Xiao Yufan’s sleeve. It was hard for anyone to associate this delicate image with the fiery girl she usually was. Once again, Xiao Yufan was left speechless.
“Stop it. Didn’t you say you came to Beijing to find your cousin? Now that we’re here, call your cousin and have her pick you up. Then I can go home and eat in peace…”
How could Xiao Yufan allow himself to be fooled by this girl’s act again? Determined not to be burdened by this extra baggage, he hardened his heart—if he didn’t stay strict with Qin Menglu, Yu Yihan would definitely be strict with him!
“I’ve barely escaped from a pack of wolves, and you’d send me straight into a tiger’s den? Dad must’ve already called my cousin. If I show up, I’ll be ‘imprisoned’ again…”
The more Qin Menglu spoke, the more pitiful she seemed. Even the taxi driver couldn’t help glancing back repeatedly. A beautiful girl acting so delicately was enough to make anyone’s heart race.
Xiao Yufan was completely defeated. He couldn’t even tell if she was genuinely pitiful or just pretending. If it was an act, her acting skills were incredibly convincing.
“Alright, alright. Whatever you want, I’ll accompany you like a gentleman!” Xiao Yufan softened, casting all his worries aside. With these words, Qin Menglu’s face immediately lit up with joy.
“I want to tour all of Beijing, and then enjoy a few days of pure freedom and fun, and after that…”
Qin Menglu continued describing her grand travel plans, while Xiao Yufan could only feel increasingly anxious—he definitely didn’t have time to accompany this little miss on her escapades.
“Miss, I still have to work. Surely you wouldn’t want me to lose my job just to stay with you?”
Xiao Yufan tried to keep his tone calm. He knew that if Yu Yihan found out he skipped work to hang around with a girl, she’d fire him without hesitation…
“Oh come on, it’s only a few days! If you lose your job, I’ll have Dad find you an even better one. Isn’t that enough?”
“No… That’s my bottom line…” Feeling his resolve wavering under Qin Menglu’s influence, Xiao Yufan quickly steadied himself. If he truly allowed this girl to do as she pleased, who knew what kind of chaos might follow.
“Well then… okay. But at least today you’re free, right?”
Brushing aside a few loose strands of her long, flowing hair, Qin Menglu asked tentatively. Even she wasn’t sure why she felt such reliance on Xiao Yufan, someone she had just met…
“Actually, I do have the day free. So where would you like to go? Beijing is a great tourist destination—it’d be a shame not to see it!”
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yufan smiled and replied. Accompanying a beautiful girl around this bustling city didn’t sound like a bad task at all.
“I want to go to a bar. I’ve always heard people say it’s fun there, but I’ve never actually been…”
“Ha!” Xiao Yufan nearly spat out the water he had just sipped. The girl wanted to go straight to a bar? It seemed this rich young lady really was quite innocent about many things.
“Why are you smiling like that? Is there something suspicious about bars?” Qin Menglu noticed Xiao Yufan’s lecherous grin and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Was there really something wrong with going there?
“That… You’ll find out when we get there!” Since Qin Menglu wanted to go to a bar, how could Xiao Yufan possibly refuse? That place was the perfect opportunity for even deeper encounters…
