606 The Secret About the Past 224

"I don't want one. It's going to cause a misunderstanding and spark a familial conflict," Ling Ciye objected without hesitation.

"Mr. Ling has really changed his ways. How rare of you to turn down the company of pretty babes. Alright, it's up to you. You're single anyway."

Long Tianze then waved at the bar manager, who immediately rushed over on command.

"Brother Long, how may I help you?"

"Call the purest girls here and let Mr. Jin take his pick."

"Alright."

"Just how pure are they? Are they still virgins?" Ling Ciye asked curiously.

Long Tianze assented and said, "Of course, they've all undergone thorough checks. This is one of the greatest features of our bar that we've just launched. They're hostesses who only accompany customers and never sleep with them. Not only are their bodies pure, but they look really innocent as well. They'd definitely be over the moon to know that Qingyan had picked them."

"Since you have girls of such high quality here, tell us honestly, have you ever tried them yourself?" Ling Ciye asked.

"Of course not. I wouldn't dare to. Yangyang would kill me for sure," Long Tianze said earnestly.

Ling Ciye burst into laughter and said, "I knew you would say that."

"Why did you bother asking then? Silly," Long Tianze hissed, rolling his eyes.

Not long after, the manager led five innocent-looking babes to their table.

The girls appeared extremely young and seemed to be only in their late teens. They were all slender and thin, with dainty and exquisite features on their tiny faces. They were all sporting different hairstyles; some had curly long locks, some straight, while others had short haircuts.

They were all dressed in short skirts that ended at their tights, paired with a revealing, thin-strapped tank top and a pair of heels on their feet.

They were indeed rather eye-catching.

Upon sight of the three men in front of them, the five girls smiled widely and stood uniformly in a row.

"What do you think? Mr. Jin, take your pick," said Long Tianze, pointing at the row of girls.

Jin Qingyan scanned the girls before him before saying unhurriedly, "There's no need to pick. All of you may stay."

Long Tianze and Ling Ciye looked at each other in delight and broke into smiles.

"Sure!" Long Tianze then motioned for the manager to leave. "You may go first."

"Yes, Brother Long."

The five girls were grinning joyfully. Two of them were quick to make a move and immediately sat down beside Jin Qingyan, sandwiching him in between themselves while the other three proceeded to sit down along the sides.

It was such a rare opportunity for the girls to meet Jin Qingyan. Thus, they leaned closely against him and spoke in a gentle voice, all smiles.

He glanced up at the second floor to find that An Xiaoning had caught sight of everything, just like he had expected.

Thus, he put an arm around a girl beside him and pressed his face against her ear affectionately, causing the girl to blush shyly.

Needless to say, An Xiaoning witnessed the scene taking place before her. She looked away calmly and said to Mei Yangyang, "Your husband is here."

"Where is he?"

"Right there."

Mei Yangyang looked in the direction of An Xiaoning's gaze, only to find that Long Tianze was indeed there. On top of that, she also saw that Jin Qingyan was surrounded by a bunch of girls. "Sis, are you okay?" she asked inquisitively.

An Xiaoning maintained her composure and answered, "Of course I am. Since we're out tonight, we ought to have as much fun as we can. I'll have to drive back to B City at midnight. Yangyang, get me a dance dress and a young, dashing lad to be my partner. I want to dance on the dance floor downstairs."

Mei Yangyang's eyes lit up with joy and immediately did as An Xiaoning requested, knowing what the latter was planning to do.

An Xiaoning was holding a glass of red liquor in her hand with a look of composure. A smirk formed on her face as she shifted her gaze to a corner.

He seems to be living a carefree life of fun after our divorce.

I obviously can't lose out to him!

Just you wait and see!

Long Tianze looked up again at the second floor to find that the two women had gone missing.

He scanned his surroundings again in a bid to search for them in the crowd, but to no avail.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Ciye asked.

"I saw my wife here earlier. How did she disappear so soon?"

"She's not going to go missing. Look how unnecessarily anxious and worried you are."

Just as Ling Ciye finished speaking, the music playing from the stage came to an abrupt stop.

All eyes were on the woman who was walking slowly on the elevated stage. It was none other than Mei Yangyang.

Holding the microphone in her hand, she announced with a smile, "Tonight, we have a mysterious lady who's going to perform a pole dance with her male partner. Let's welcome them with a round of applause!"

The crowd surrounding the stage began clapping and cheering loudly.

The three men looked over to see a woman who was donning a butterfly mask walking toward the stage slowly, hand in hand with a handsome young man who had a killer body.

Ling Ciye was flabbergasted to recognize the familiar figure on stage. He looked at Long Tianze and asked, "Isn't that…"

Long Tianze responded with just a nod.

An Xiaoning was scantily clad and appeared extremely sexy and appealing.

She was dressed in a red bustier top, which pushed her bosom together, coupled with a red boxer shorts that barely covered anything.

On her feet were a pair of sandaled heels.

The audience below roared and cheered in exhilaration at the instant that she leaned against the pole and raised one leg up to wrap around it.

Smiling widely, An Xiaoning began dancing sensually and gracefully like a ravishing seductress the moment the music began to play. No one could take their eyes off her.

Whenever she busted out intimate moves with her male dance partner, which appeared extremely racy, the male audience below the stage would get extremely thrilled and aroused.

In fact, she had even caught the attention of Long Tianze and Ling Ciye with her visually-appealing moves.

It was simply too breathtakingly stunning.

While everyone was in the midst of enjoying a fascinating performance, a sullen expression had taken over Jin Qingyan's face as he grew increasingly indignant…

The menacing look on his face terrorized the women beside him.

After the song ended, An Xiaoning was lifted off the ground by her male dance partner, who then carried her in his arms, away from the crowd.

Long Tianze turned around and feigned ignorance. "This woman is such a great dancer. Perhaps she's new. Otherwise, why haven't I seen her before?"

"Tianze, why don't you get the manager to send that woman here to accompany me?" Ling Ciye chimed in.

"Didn't you say that you don't want to risk causing any unnecessary misunderstanding and conflict?"

Ling Ciye shot him a glance and said, "She's not here, it won't matter."

He and Long Tianze looked at each other in unison and chuckled, after which Long Tianze did as instructed and proceeded to inform the manager.

If even they could recognize her, how could Jin Qingyan have possibly failed to do so?

However, he remained silent and instead chugged liquor continuously.

Neither of his friends tried to stop him, and they watched as he drank to his heart's content, knocking himself drunk out of his senses.

By the time An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang approached, Jin Qingyan had already gotten drunk and was leaning against the couch with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Ling, I heard you asked for my company?" said An Xiaoning, who was wearing the mask.

Ling Ciye expressed assent and said, "Are you not willing to?"

An Xiaoning nodded and sat down beside him. She handed him a glass of liquor before pouring herself another glass. She then clinked glasses with him and said, "Let me first toast to you."

Ling Ciye held the glass in his hand and watched as she finished hers. "When you drink, you're just as graceful as when you're dancing. What a pleasurable sight," he praised.

An Xiaoning placed her legs up onto the coffee table, showing off her sandaled heels, which were embellished with sparkling crystals— absolutely gorgeous.
