Chapter 31: Find a Noble When Finding a Man

At midnight.

In a private room of a high-end clubhouse, a few men held a glass of red wine in their hands. Their eyes were cold and dark.

“If that’s the case, let’s do it this way.” Xi Ce put down his wine glass and stood up. “I’ll leave first.”

“What’s going on? This matter hasn’t been discussed yet.” One of the youths was puzzled. “You’re not staying? You don’t usually leave so early. Do you have a date?”

“I have something to attend to.” After saying that, he left. “Just let me know after you discuss it.”

Everyone was used to his current state and did not say much.

Xi Ce sped back to the villa and entered his room. He looked at the window sill and slowly entered the bathroom to take a shower.

Qin Pan, who was in the villa next door, had already woken up. Her head didn’t hurt as much anymore. She looked at the time and thought about going to treat Xi Ce, so she got up.

Xi Ce didn’t do much more when he heard the movement on the windowsill. He continued to read with his head down.

“Are you waiting for me?” Qin Pan entered and saw Xi Ce sitting at his desk reading.

Due to the fact that he had rolled down the window, his breathing was unstable. He only took a glance and did not speak.

“How do you feel recently? Are you still taking medicine from other places?” Qin Pan took out the acupuncture needles she brought along and placed them properly.

Xi Ce put down his book and sat on the sofa. He replied casually, “No.”

“Take off your clothes.”

When Qin Pan was ready, she saw that Xi Ce had not taken off his clothes and smiled in confusion, “I want to give you acupuncture. How can I give you acupuncture when you are wearing clothes?”

Upon hearing this, Xi Ce took off his clothes.

After he took off his clothes, Qin Pan realized that although this man’s body was not good, he still had abdominal muscles. He really looked good with and without clothes on.

Xi Ce felt a burning gaze sweep over him. It was hard to ignore it even if he wanted to. He pursed his lips and urged, “Hurry.”

“Alright.” Qin Pan retracted his gaze awkwardly. “Lie on the sofa and sleep well.”

After Xi Ce did as he was told, Qin Pan walked over and said hesitantly, “Uh- there might be some physical contact, can you bear with it?”

“Mm.”

Qin Pan’s upper body was basically on Xi Ce’s body. Ordinary acupuncture would not be like this, but the acupuncture point she wanted to use was a hidden acupuncture point and it was very difficult to find. Moreover, she needed a special technique, so she had to concentrate fully and watch the changes in the acupuncture point.

Xi Ce, who was lying on the sofa, felt a gentle breath on his skin. A pair of soft hands were massaging his back rhythmically. Then, a needle was inserted into his back, and she did this repeatedly in many places.

“Relax a little.” Qin Pan felt the body of the person under her stiffen. “This is not good for finding acupuncture points.”

“That’s because you’re not good enough.” Xi Ce closed his eyes and slowly relaxed his body.

Qin Pan suddenly laughed. This man was really…

“I didn’t drink on purpose today. It was just that the situation was special and I could only do that. I promise that I won’t do it again.” Qin Pan explained about drinking before continuing, “Don’t worry, I will protect myself. After all, you are my future husband. I won’t let anyone bully me.”

“You don’t have to explain it to me.” Xi Ce’s voice was calm. No joy could be heard in his voice.

Qin Pan nodded. “I know you don’t believe me, but I really like you and intend to marry you. I like you not because of the jerk’s betrayal, but because I like you for you. Also, I will break off the jerk’s engagement soon and cut off all ties with him.”

“Nothing else, I just like you. You can try to believe me.” Qin Pan suddenly leaned close to Xi Ce’s ear and said slightly seductively.

“Mhm,” replied Xi Ce calmly. “Do your best with the needles.”

Qin Pan knew that Xi Ce believed it was impossible between her and the scumbag, but he still didn’t believe in her feelings. He could only take it slowly. Little did he know that when Xi Ce lowered his head and heard her explanation, the corners of his lips had already curled up unconsciously.

At this moment, in another room in the villa, Qin Yajuan was complaining to her mother angrily. “Mom, Qin Pan is really a vixen, seducing men everywhere. Why does Brother Cheng still care about her so much if he doesn’t like her?”

Mary, who heard her daughter complain for a long time, knew her better than anyone else. She knew that Qin Yajuan wanted to snatch Cheng Gang away from Qin Pan and sighed in her heart. Her daughter’s taste was still too low.

“Why are you so useless? What’s so good about Cheng Gang?” Mary’s eyes were filled with disdain. “As for Cheng Gang, you can still play with him occasionally, but if you really want to find a man, you still have to find a noble. Don’t you understand from the banquet last time? Didn’t you see what Cheng Gang was like compared to a noble?”

“Mom, what do you mean?” Qin Yajuan was stunned.

Mary gently caressed Qin Yajuan’s head and laughed sinisterly. “My daughter is so noble and smart. She was born to be a noble lady.. What do you think?”
