Chapter 404: Carnival Party 3

Ling Xuejiu had not expected Jin Xianhao to have such a thick skin. Despite her unfriendliness, he still didn’t catch the hint. She turned her head and was about to completely ignore him when she noticed Li Mengjie sending a text message and couldn’t help feeling a bit curious. She asked, "Xiao Jie, who are you texting with?"

"Hmm~!" Li Mengjie said with a giggly smile, "I’m not texting with anyone, what’s up?"

Ling Xuejiu was so annoyed she couldn’t stand it. She had clearly seen Xiao Jie texting. How could this girl have the nerve to lie straight to her face? Rolling her eyes, she said, "It’s Leng Xuan, isn’t it? Humph, I wouldn’t scold you for texting him, so why lie?"

Li Mengjie chuckled mischievously. Indeed, she had just been texting Leng Xuan, merely asking if he had come in because she was worried that Ling Xuejiu would find out she had asked Leng Xuan to come in. That’s why she reflexively denied sending the text. But upon hearing Ling Xuejiu address it so bluntly, she quickly caught on and replied, "Hmm, Xue Jiu, you’re so smart, hehe. I was indeed texting Cold Bodyguard. But, you know, I was just asking him what he’s up to!"

"Is that so?" Ling Xuejiu felt quite gloomy inside. Why did she get the sense that Xiao Jie was lying? Was there really a need to be so mysteriously secretive about asking what Leng Xuan was doing? She pursed her lips and asked, "What did he say?"

Li Mengjie answered, "I just sent it, he hasn’t responded yet!"

Ling Xuejiu uttered an "Oh" and hesitated before saying, "Xiao Jie, if you really want him to come in, just invite him in."

"Huh?" Li Mengjie’s eyes widened as she looked at Ling Xuejiu like she was looking at an alien, wondering if she had misheard. "Xue Jiu, what did you say?"

Ling Xuejiu’s face turned slightly red, but it was undetectable behind the mask. She snorted and said, "I said, if you want him to come in, let him come in, but he has to wear a mask."

Actually, Miss Ling was a typical case of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Since the party began, she had felt a bit regretful. She and Xiao Jie were having fun inside while making Leng Xuan wait outside, which was quite unpleasant. She had no idea how bored Leng Xuan must have been, which was why she had been feeling somewhat downcast all along.

Before Li Mengjie could speak, Jin Xianhao, who was nearby, couldn’t maintain his composure any longer. After all, he was the esteemed Young Master Jin. When had he ever been so neglected by a woman? Fiery anger broiled within him. His gaze shifted, noticing that Ling Xuejiu had turned her head to chat with Li Mengjie, leaving a glass of juice on the bar unattended. An idea flashed through his mind, and he surreptitiously took out a small transparent bag containing a white powder from his pocket. While Ling Xuejiu wasn’t paying attention, he poured a third of it into her drink.

Not too far off, Wang Shuze, although surrounded by a bevy of beauties, had actually been keeping an eye on the area where Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie were located, using his peripheral vision. He felt obliged to entertain the women around him because they had prominent backgrounds and were not to be offended, so freeing himself was difficult. Realizing that Jin Xianhao had seated himself next to Ling Xuejiu, he frowned, although it was concealed by his mask. After observing for a little while and seeing Ling Xuejiu completely ignoring Jin Xianhao, he felt reassured. However, the moment he saw Jin Xianhao pouring the white powder into Ling Xuejiu’s cup, he could no longer contain his anger. Even so, his demeanor remained impeccable. Smiling, he excused himself from the ladies by saying, "Sorry, I’ve got something to take care of. Talk to you later," and then made his way toward Jin Xianhao and the direction where Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie were.
