128: Chapter 128 Bai Yuyan's Awkward Moment

Sister Chen sighed inwardly.

This child, Yuyan, had a hard life, coming out from her hometown alone to work, with no one to rely on.

If she could be with this man, she wouldn't have to worry about her future.

She withdrew her gaze and smiled at Bai Yuyan, her smile carrying a hint of heartache and helplessness.

"Alright, hurry along now."

"Go back and get some good rest."

Bai Yuyan gave an affirmative hum and turned to walk to Qin Xiaoran's side.

Qin Xiaoran took her hand, their fingers interlaced, palms pressed against palms, feeling warm.

Wang Yang walked in front and pulled open the private room door; the metal handle was ice-cold in his palm.

The three of them walked out. The corridor lights were dim, illuminating their figures and casting long shadows.

Sister Chen stood at the entrance of the private room, watching their retreating figures.

At the end of the corridor, the elevator doors opened, and warm yellow light poured out, like a door leading to another world.

...

The elevator went down to the first floor, the doors opened, and the afternoon sunlight poured in from the lobby entrance.

It was blinding, making people's eyes ache.

Bai Yuyan squinted her eyes. Her bunny girl uniform was too thin, so thin that the outline of the lingerie underneath was visible.

In the sunlight, it was even more impossible to hide.

Qin Xiaoran put an arm around her shoulder, and the two of them walked out quickly, sticking close together.

Their Doc Martens clicked crisply against the marble floor.

Wang Yang's car was parked right at the entrance; the black X5M shimmered with a cold luster in the afternoon sun.

The matte black car paint was like a mirror, reflecting the silhouettes of the three.

He pulled open the back door, Qin Xiaoran climbed in first, and Bai Yuyan followed behind her, bending down to sit inside.

Wang Yang closed the door, walked around to the driver's seat, sat in, and started the car.

He turned on the heater, and warm air blew out from the vents, humming softly.

The interior of the car slowly warmed up, and the fog on the glass gradually dissipated.

Bai Yuyan leaned against the seat, curling up next to Qin Xiaoran.

Like a frightened little kitten, her legs were pressed together, knees slightly turned inward.

Qin Xiaoran kept her arm around her shoulder, patting her back gently, one stroke at a time, in a slow rhythm.

"It's alright now."

"With Brother Yang here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Bai Yuyan nodded, rested her face on Qin Xiaoran's shoulder, and nuzzled in, finding a comfortable position.

Her eyes were still red, teardrops hung on her eyelashes, her lips were pursed, and the tip of her nose was red.

Qin Xiaoran took a tissue from her bag, pulled one out, and helped wipe away the tear stains on her face.

Her movements were very light, as if she were wiping a precious piece of porcelain.

Wang Yang glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The two girls were leaning against each other; Qin Xiaoran had her head bowed, wiping Bai Yuyan's tears.

Her profile was beautiful, with a straight nose bridge and pursed lips; her serious expression was very moving.

Her eyelashes cast a small, fan-shaped shadow under her eyes.

Bai Yuyan's eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembling like two frightened butterflies.

The neckline of the bunny girl uniform had slipped open even further due to her posture.

Revealing a large expanse of fair skin and a shallow cleavage, which were particularly striking in the afternoon light.

Her black stockings had a tear on the outside of her thigh.

From this angle, one could just catch a glimpse of that patch of fair, smooth skin, glowing faintly.

Wang Yang's gaze lingered on her for a second before shifting away to the road ahead.

His throat moved, but he didn't say anything, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel twice.

The car drove out of the club's parking lot and merged into the traffic.

The afternoon sun shone in through the car window, falling on the two girls in the back seat, warm and cozy.

Wang Yang spoke up, his voice not loud.

"Are you hungry?"

"I'll take you two to get something to eat."

Qin Xiaoran's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Bai Yuyan.

"Yuyan, let's go together."

Bai Yuyan raised her head, glanced at Wang Yang, and then lowered her head again.

Her fingers were clutching the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.

"No, no need..."

"It's too much trouble for you; I'll just go home."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull the car door, wanting to get out.

Just as her fingers touched the door handle, Qin Xiaoran grabbed her.

"Don't leave."

"Brother Yang is a very good person, don't worry."

Bai Yuyan bit her lip, looked at Qin Xiaoran, and then at Wang Yang.

She could tell that Xiaoran and this man had an unusual relationship.

The way Xiaoran looked at him, the tone of her voice.

And that natural posture of leaning against him—none of this was something ordinary friends would have.

If she went along, the three of them sitting together would be so awkward.

"I'm really not hungry."

"You guys go ahead..."

Just as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly growled.

Grumble—

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet car.

Bai Yuyan's face turned bright red instantly, flushing from her cheeks to her earlobes, and from her earlobes to her neck.

She buried her face in Qin Xiaoran's shoulder, not daring to look up.

Her ears felt like they were burning, and even her breathing quickened a little.

Qin Xiaoran laughed, her eyes curving into crescents, and she reached out to gently pinch her face.

"And you say you're not hungry?"

"Your stomach is already protesting."

Wang Yang laughed too, a soft sound that drifted over from the driver's seat, like a breeze blowing across a lake, creating ripples.

"Let's go together."

"One more person, one more pair of chopsticks."

Qin Xiaoran took Bai Yuyan's hand and shook it, acting like a child coquettishly.

"Let's go, let's go, Brother Yang is treating, it would be a waste not to eat."

Bai Yuyan raised her head from Qin Xiaoran's shoulder, her face flushed, and glanced at Wang Yang.

He was driving, the lines of his profile were very handsome, his nose bridge was straight, and there was a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Sunlight shone in through the car window, falling on his face, gilding that smile with a layer of gold.

Her heart skipped a beat; she bit her lip and nodded gently.

"Then, thank you, Brother Yang."

Wang Yang smiled, pressed the accelerator, and the car picked up speed, driving forward.

The afternoon sun spilled onto the black car body, the matte black paint shimmering with fine light.

The street scene outside the car window flashed by—red lanterns, stalls selling New Year goods, and the crowds of people shopping for the New Year.

Inside the car, the two girls leaned against each other; one had a flushed face, and the other had a smile on her lips.

The heater made people feel lazy, and Bai Yuyan's eyelashes slowly drooped.

Leaning on Qin Xiaoran's shoulder, she closed her eyes.

Qin Xiaoran glanced at her, then glanced at Wang Yang's eyes in the rearview mirror.

Their gazes met in the mirror, then each shifted away.

She lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she gently drew circles on the back of Bai Yuyan's hand.

The car drove through street after street, quickly driving away.

...

The black X5M made two turns on the street and drove into a quiet alley.

The alley was not wide, and the walls on both sides were covered with withered vines.

The afternoon sunlight leaked through the gaps in the vines, scattering crushed gold on the ground.

Wang Yang parked the car in front of a restaurant.

The storefront was not large, and the signage was very low-key; a wooden plaque hung on the gray brick wall, engraved with the two characters "Seeking Flavor".

There were only two or three cars parked at the entrance, and none of them were cheap.

Wang Yang turned off the engine and glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Bai Yuyan was curled up beside Qin Xiaoran, her bunny girl uniform particularly conspicuous in the afternoon sun.

The black bodysuit, lace trim, torn black stockings, and the crooked bunny ear headband on her head.
