Chapter 340: 255. The Moon Outside the Window

The scene had been incredibly awkward.

When Mou Keyan tentatively said, "Don’t hide anymore," she accidentally called out both girls.

Everyone was looking at each other, avoiding eye contact, with varying expressions on their faces.

Ji Shu was the most guilt-ridden little girl in the entire room.

She sat in the corner, with her gaze nearly fixed on the ground the whole time, clenching her hat and mask tightly in her hands.

Next was Yu Qingyue, who was seven parts angry and three parts embarrassed.

Yu Qingyue spent most of the time pursing her lips, trying to appear well-behaved, occasionally casting a sidelong glare at Ji Shu.

"Sisters, not sleeping this late at night, and just so happened to be here, huh?"

The one who boldly crossed her arms and gazed at the two girls with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, was naturally Mou Keyan.

"Come on then, what’s going on?"

Sister Miao Miao pursed her lips, voice calm, without revealing what she truly felt.

"Sister Miao Miao, I... I just came to ask a question..."

Yu Qingyue said softly, with her head slightly lowered.

"Asking a question is it? And how about you?"

Mou Keyan’s face was expressionless as she turned her head and pointed to the next person.

"I came to talk to Mr. Lu about career planning."

Ji Shu’s head was down, she didn’t dare look up, and her normally sharp tongue was even quieter.

"Who would believe that? Talking about career planning, why is your skirt wet?"

Before the older sister could make a judgment, Yu Qingyue was the first to stand up unwilling to accept it.

To think Ji Shu would call each other sisters day in and day out, her mouth sweet as honey!

But the moment you’re off guard, there she goes offering herself on a platter.

Damn it!

Pure scheming bitch!

"You might not believe it, but the tea cup was knocked over by accident..."

Ji Shu clenched the hem of her skirt, her fingertips slightly white, all her social skills gone, she stammered.

"Look at you, you don’t even sound confident when you say it yourself!"

Yu Qingyue snorted coldly, her lips curved up high.

"Enough, both of you are like the pot calling the kettle black. If you’re all aboveboard, what are you hiding for?"

Mou Keyan spoke with an added undertone of subtlety.

...

...

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously fell silent.

After a few seconds, it was Ji Shu who made the decision first.

She stood up, took a disposable paper cup from Mr. Lu’s coffee table, and sheepishly said,

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your patient advice on my career planning, I’ll take my leave now."

Clearly, there was no opportunity tonight.

Even after staging a soggy scene, before an opponent could take the baton for a performance, she was already cut by someone outside the play.

Getting close to the boss is indeed too difficult!

This personal experience of a night visit to the hotel made Ji Shu realize a fact.

Brazenly asking the boss for resources might be easier than climbing into his bed.

From his reactions, words, and glances...

He didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

Whether he was into her or not, it was as if in that moment she was just an appetizer, placed on the table to be weighed and compared.

Moreover, when she was hiding in the wardrobe, she had overheard his conversation with Yu Qingyue.

Mr. Lu was not some ascetic saint.

His appetite was impossibly large.

Just take the few sentences she overheard, one could tell he was a jerk!

Personally teaching Yu Qingyue how to calculate timings with software, without even carrying anything, it ended just like that.

In fact, her gains tonight weren’t too few.

Not only did she secure resources for live-streaming clips, but she also let the boss further recognize her and understand her abilities.

So when Mou Keyan burst into the room, Ji Shu’s first reaction was genuine guilt, the only remaining thought was to flee.

If she didn’t leave now, then what was she waiting for?

Was she really looking to anger Sister Miao Miao?

She was nowhere near as patient as Mr. Lu appeared to be.

And so, Ji Shu kept her head down the whole time, her gaze furtive, and carefully skirted along the wall to exit the room.

Thud.

The door closed with a dull sound.

"Sister Miao Miao, I’ll go back now too..."

Seeing someone taking the lead to leave, Yu Qingyue also wanted to slip away before Mou Keyan could confront her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Shu left, Mou Keyan immediately wrapped her arm around Yu Qingyue’s neck.

Yu Qingyue’s shoulders were pinned down by the right hand, and she was firmly anchored to the sofa.

"Little Qingyue, it’s reasonable for her to feel guilty, now tell sister, what are you hiding?"

"I..."

Mou Keyan’s burning gaze seemed like ants all over her body, as if she could see right into her heart.

Yu Qingyue swallowed, suddenly finding herself at a loss for words, her hands wringing each other back and forth.

"Today’s Christmas, I felt I should leave you two some alone time to enjoy your own world."

"Oh boy."

Mou Keyan patted her back, her eyes gleaming, her tone rare with a hint of sarcasm.

"Now is it you, Qingyue sister, arranging for our private world?"

"No..."

Yu Qingyue lowered her head, bringing her two little feet neatly together.

"Alright, I was just teasing you."

Mou Keyan released her neck, and in an instant, her face broke into a blooming smile again.

"Holidays should be spent with everyone together, right?"

"No, no, that’s enough for today, I’m really going back to rest."

Yu Qingyue shook her head earnestly like a rattle drum.

"Well then, rest well."

Mou Keyan didn’t persist, watching as Yu Qingyue became the second to leave the room.

...

"Humph!"

Lu Jincheng was seeing this expression on Sister Miao Miao for the first time.

"Each and every one of you holding your own thoughts and sneaking around."

The girl’s captivating eyes wandered, her body turned towards the window, arms crossed, leaving only her tall silhouette to the man.

The curtains had been left open since she checked in, so her comments were more teasing than truly angry.

It proved that their attempts at sneaking around were still in the early stages.

Suites are often located on the top floors of hotels, perfect for overlooking the hustle and bustle below.
