Chapter 66: A Farce (2)
Zhao Chengning knew he couldn't be too hasty, so he restrained himself a little.
He decided to stop teasing Shen Jingbin and joined in on the other group's drinking games.
Shen Jingbin looked at the gla.s.s beneath her and absentmindedly observed the people on the first floor. As she did, she suddenly noticed someone who looked familiar.
She stood up and look over again, but the person was nowhere to be found.
Shen Jingbin so shook up by this turn of events that she didn't even notice that the four other men were suddenly looking in her direction.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chengning asked.
"What's gotten you so fl.u.s.tered, Little Jingjing?" Shen Jingchen asked as well.
Shen Jingbin shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It must've been my imagination… What game are you guys playing?"
She very cleverly tried to divert their attention and change the subject.
Sure enough, Shen Jingchen was the first to fall for her act. He immediately pulled her over and started explaining the game that they were playing to her.
Intelligent people learned everything quickly. After listening to a part of the explanation, Shen Jingbin indicated she'd understood the rules and decisively entered the fray.
Her partic.i.p.ation caused the pa.s.sions' of Xuya and the man with the mutton chop sideburns to burn especially hot.
While the group was enjoying their game, their curtain was suddenly pulled apart and they heard a pleasantly surprised voice. "Excuse me everyone. Sorry to bother you, but if you're interested, please have a look at our… Second Young Master!"
They looked in the direction of the voice and found that it belonged to a young girl wearing a miniskirt and a blouse that revealed her navel. She stood at the entrance of their cubby hole, astonishment colouring her face as she looked at them.
So, it really wasn't her imagination running wild.
Closer inspection of the girl's appearance confirmed that it wasn't Shen Jingbin's eyes playing tricks on her.
She was the young girl from Blooming Flower Pavilion who led them to their table.
Zhao Chengning looked at the girl who suddenly appeared. The ambition in her eyes was something that he was all too familiar with. A wave of disgust rose from within him as he said, "Why are you here?"
