“I think… I need to go to the bathroom, ugh!”
Bai Rourou whispered softly, but as a hand suddenly appeared at her waist, her body stiffened abruptly.
“Do you think I’d believe that?”
Cai Jinger’s voice was icy as she slowly stood behind the girl, one arm wrapped around her waist while the other gripped her wrist tightly.
“Haven’t I told you repeatedly not to come looking for Gong Nanxue? What’s going on this time?”
“I… I… I promise I won’t do it again.”
Bai Rourou swore hurriedly, clearly frightened, but Cai Jinger was obviously not buying it.
“If you need to use the bathroom, go somewhere else. This suite has more than one room.”
Suddenly, Cai Jinger released her hold, leaving Bai Rourou stunned.
Why wasn’t she bullying her anymore?
“Hurry up and go.”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Bai Rourou felt a wave of relief.
It seemed this violent, perverse woman had no intention of doing anything bad to her under Gong Nanxue’s nose.
Rubbing the pain in her wrist, she quickly made her way to the bathroom on the other side.
Now, even if she didn’t want to, she had to go.
Meanwhile, Gong Nanxue finished quickly, and Bai Rourou still hadn’t returned.
“Where did Rou Rou go?”
Gong Nanxue looked around in confusion.
Cai Jinger smiled and replied, “She went to the bathroom too.”
“Then let’s keep eating.”
Gong Nanxue lifted her bottle, her eyes bright with excitement as she looked at Cai Jinger.
“You’re really something, Jinger. You managed to handle the Company so well in such a short time.”
“I already said, no need to bring it up again,” Cai Jinger shook her head with a light laugh.
“Given our relationship, there’s no need to be so formal.”
“Well, let’s keep business and personal separate.”
Gong Nanxue thought for a moment.
She felt it wasn’t right to just be a hands-off boss, so she continued, “How about I transfer some shares to you? At the pre-acquisition market price.”
“Well then—”
Cai Jinger was about to agree, but her gaze flicked to Bai Rourou behind them.
Instantly, she changed the subject: “Such an important matter can wait for another time. Let’s not discuss it now.”
“All right, all right. No need to bring it up.”
Gong Nanxue called out to the bathroom, “Rou Rou, come eat! The grilled skewers are getting cold. You’ve cooked so many times for me, don’t be shy.”
So many times?
Cai Jinger caught that little detail, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
It had been quite a while since Rou Rou became her slave; that she could say “so many times” meant Bai Rourou had come here quite often.
Also, Bai Rourou likely overheard the talk about shares just now…
“I’m not shy, I’m just not very hungry.”
Bai Rourou smiled shyly, then picked up a skewer and took a big bite.
The rich spices awakened her thoughts.
She had just heard Nan Jie say something about transferring shares.
It seemed Nan Jie’s identity really wasn’t ordinary!
Could she finally get rid of that violent, perverse woman?
She had to find a chance to ask clearly, Bai Rourou thought to herself.
With their own agendas, they ate for a while longer.
Mostly Gong Nanxue talked—about extreme sports and recent current events, all while drinking.
Her tolerance for alcohol was high.
“Bai Rourou, where do you live? Is it far from here?”
Cai Jinger suddenly asked.
Bai Rourou was momentarily stunned, her doe-like eyes showing a hint of innocence.
“I-it’s kind of far, I guess?” she said uncertainly.
“I see.”
Cai Jinger said no more, just nodded and resumed peeling the small lobsters.
Bai Rourou felt somewhat confused.
Was this violent woman telling her to go home?
Could it be that she wanted to have a good time with Gong Nanxue?
She glanced at Gong Nanxue, catching Nan Jie’s dreamy gaze and the flush on her delicate face—it seemed she was somewhat drunk already.
“Looks like the violent woman wants to catch her off guard and seal the deal.”
Bai Rourou’s heart leapt in joy.
So she wouldn’t be tortured tonight after all.
And if the violent woman succeeded, she definitely wouldn’t pay so much attention to her anymore.
Without hesitation, Bai Rourou softly said goodbye to Gong Nanxue, even handing over the whole bowl of peeled small lobster meat she had prepared, leaving it for Gong Nanxue to maintain appearances.
“Leaving so early? Well, that’s fine. Come by more often.”
Gong Nanxue was already tipsy but still alert.
Once Bai Rourou left, Cai Jinger immediately grabbed Gong Nanxue’s arm.
Of course, it wasn’t what Bai Rourou had feared.
“Xue’er, I have to tell you, Bai Rourou’s obsession with you is definitely a problem!”
“What kind of problem?”
Gong Nanxue frowned slightly, displeased.
“Bai Rourou is a good person. Don’t be so hostile just because she likes me.”
“I have proof!”
Cai Jinger pulled out her phone and showed Gong Nanxue photos of Bai Rourou working at Moonflower Garden.
In that kind of bar, many customers carried Mini Cameras, and because Bai Rourou’s reputation wasn’t good, Cai Jinger spent a little money to gather this evidence.
“What’s this…”
Gong Nanxue was stunned looking at the photos.
It was definitely Bai Rourou, but why was she dressed so provocatively and being held by other women?
“That’s where Bai Rourou works part-time.”
Cai Jinger said disdainfully, “Moonflower Garden is a bar that only serves women, and they even offer… special services.”
“Special services?”
Gong Nanxue frowned. Could Bai Rourou really be that kind of person?
But she didn’t immediately believe Cai Jinger’s one-sided story.
She wouldn’t jump to conclusions based on a few photos.
Cai Jinger knew Gong Nanxue well and saw this hesitation but said no more, confident her claims could withstand scrutiny.
Gong Nanxue would only believe what she saw with her own eyes, so she would see.
“I heard Bai Rourou makes over a hundred yuan an hour there,” Cai Jinger hinted, “and supposedly she’s just serving drinks and delivering water.”
Hearing this, Gong Nanxue frowned even deeper.
Before she acknowledged her parentage, her life was pretty ordinary, so she knew normal hourly wages well.
Bai Rourou’s job was clearly abnormal.
Then there was that strange necklace Bai Rourou wore on her neck…
With Cai Jinger’s words stirring her thoughts, Gong Nanxue immediately connected Bai Rourou’s odd changes together.
Suddenly, her face darkened, and she felt a deep unease.
She had already developed some unusual feelings for Bai Rourou, but now it seemed Bai Rourou’s motives were impure!
Thinking more carefully, Bai Rourou had been especially enthusiastic toward her since school started. Could it be…
Right!
Gong Nanxue suddenly realized Bai Rourou was her high school classmate, and she herself only acknowledged her biological father in her first year of high school.
Could Bai Rourou have found out from some channel that she had a wealthy sugar daddy?
“She seemed so innocent and fragile on the surface, but actually this girl is quite scheming,” Gong Nanxue thought bitterly.
Her once good impression of Bai Rourou instantly plummeted into the negatives.
