Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 6 is not only unacceptable, but also has quirks.
"Stop talking nonsense and investigate!" Chi Yige's face darkened further, and he exuded a chilling aura.

You, Wen Jinian, have insulted him again.

When Chi Yige returned, everyone in the bar was still playing games.

He glanced around instinctively but didn't see Wen Jinian.

"Young Master Chi, come on over, let's play together." Wu Chi enthusiastically took charge of the situation.

As soon as Chi Yige returned to China, his uncle Chi Min urged him to socialize more with the young masters of prominent families in the port area.

Initially, Chi Yige was resistant and only intended to go through the motions and then leave.

I never expected to meet Wen Jinian.

He stayed, seemingly against his own will, repeatedly breaking his own established principles.

Seeing everyone sitting together playing Truth or Dare, he took the opportunity to find an empty seat and sat down.

Unfortunately, when Chi Yige turned over the playing cards, the Ace of Hearts was right in his hand.

"Wow, Mr. Chi, what luck! Truth or dare?"

Choose truth.

Wu Chi took a bucket of divination sticks from the side and handed it to him, "Draw one."

Chi Yige casually picked up one, unfolded it, and saw that it read: "Do you have someone you like?"

Upon seeing this question, the first image that came to his mind was Wen Jinian's face.

He smiled and said, "I guess so."

These words instantly ignited the gossip instincts of the others. It was rare for the young master of the Chi family to condescend to play with them, so everyone became bolder and started asking questions all at once.

"Is the person that Young Master Chi likes here?"

"Not here," Chi Yige said casually.

Zhou Shiyi visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it wasn't Wen Jinnian, everything would be fine.

She exchanged a glance with Fan Tong, and the two of them got up and walked outside.

In the public restroom.

Just as Wen Jinian's hand touched the doorknob and she was about to push it open, she heard the sound of running water from the faucet near the sink.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's extremely arrogant voice rang out: "Why? Why should Wen Jinnian receive special treatment from Jiang Shu?"

Wen Jinnian stopped what she was doing, and Zhou Shiyi's voice came: "Brother Jiang has special feelings for her, so don't keep provoking her."

Fan Tong looked at her with exasperation, "Shiyi, if she comes back now, what will happen back then..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Zhou Shiyi stopped Fan Tong from continuing, which made Wen Jinnian certain that the love letter she wrote back then being made into a PPT and made public might be related to them.

She clenched her fists.

"Alright, Shiyi, did you see that? Today, the young master of the Chi family actually kissed Wen Jinnian. Could it be that he's taken a liking to her?"

"What's so great about being favored by that guy from the Chi family? Besides being handsome, he's useless..."

Fan Tong looked surprised. "You mean he's impotent?"

"Not only does it not work, but it also seems to have some strange quirks, which I discovered by chance while browsing foreign websites."

Zhou Shiyi touched up her makeup with a cushion foundation, and looking at herself in the mirror, she tossed her hair.

"Go back. Wen Jinnian is, after all, a member of the Jiang family. Don't cause me any trouble."

Moreover, Chi Yige just said that the person he likes isn't here, which means it's not Wen Jinian.

Fan Tong muttered a few more words, and then the bathroom fell silent.

Wen Jinian glanced at the recording on her phone and smiled. It wasn't just her who said he couldn't do it anymore. She had to save the evidence; it might be useful in court someday!
When Wen Jinnian returned to the bar, she saw a group of people gathered together, excitedly playing Truth or Dare.

The table was piled high with rows of beer, it seemed they were planning to party all night.

Wen Jinian had just taken a step forward when she subconsciously wanted to take it back. Just then, a voice rang out: "Miss Wen, we've been waiting for you. Today is your brother's engagement banquet. I thought you wouldn't want to spoil the fun, right?"

Wen Jinnian looked up, a smile on her face.

What a convenient form of moral blackmail! "Okay!" Wen Jinian readily agreed and then went inside.

After several rounds of shaking the dice, there were winners and losers.

After a few bottles of wine, the room was filled with clinking glasses and dim lighting.

Some men, unable to resist the temptation, were already embracing and kissing their female companions.

After a few drinks, Wen Jinian's face turned red.

She didn't even need to look up; out of the corner of her eye, she could see Zhou Shiyi leaning her entire body into Jiang Shu's arms. Such intimate behavior between lovers was perfectly normal, but she found it extremely irritating.

Those broad shoulders used to belong only to her.

The sea breeze from Repulse Bay, carrying a salty, fishy scent, gently caressed them.

Wen Jinnian smiled and leaned on Jiang Shu's shoulder as the two looked at the young men and women in the picture book.

Then I heard him say softly, "My shoulder will always belong to Niannian alone."

Wen Jinian truly believed she would be the only one, until that love letter was displayed on the screen in public.

She could no longer squeeze into his side, and even the whiskey she drank tasted bitter to her.

The dazzling neon lights of Victoria Harbour shimmered in the night, and through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows on the 18th floor of the Sheraton Hotel, the colorful light reflected onto the table, casting a shadow.

Like the clear-cut border between Chu and Han, it was an insurmountable chasm between her and Jiang Shu.

The light and shadow on the table inexplicably made Wen Jinian flinch. Four years ago, on that rainy night, she was locked in the Jiang family's basement. Jiang Xiao threatened her with her aunt, Wen Jin, saying that if she didn't give up her relationship with Jiang Shu, he would divorce Wen Jin. She compromised for her aunt's sake and agreed to study abroad.

That night, the basement was dark and damp, and the smell of mildew filled the air.

Outside, the rain poured down like a waterfall, the sound of the downpour never ceasing. The only source of light in the entire basement was a beam of light that seemed to come from nowhere, casting dappled shapes on the floor.

Now, a beam of light on the table quietly overlaps with the beam of light in her memory. As Wen Jinnian gazes at it, the fear and unease of that night instantly washes over her.

Her hands, which were under the table, were trembling slightly as she clutched her skirt. She looked away, her gaze inadvertently falling on the man not far away.

The man was comfortably nestled in a high-quality leather sofa.

With her eyes half-closed and a pair of glasses casually held in her hand, her posture was extremely elegant even when she was resting.

It has to be said that good-looking people are pleasing to the eye even when they are asleep.

Indeed, beautiful things make it easier to pull oneself out of sadness.

While she was still in a daze, a glass of whiskey was splashed directly onto her chest. The liquid quickly soaked into her clothes, and a pungent smell filled the air.

She looked up and saw Fan Tong with a gloating smile on her face. She reached for a tissue on the table and said insincerely, "Oh, Miss Wen, I'm sorry, I tripped on the carpet just now. It wasn't on purpose. You're not angry, are you?"

Wen Jinnian clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms. She suppressed the urge to swing her fist and said through gritted teeth, "Miss Fan, please be careful when you walk next time. You can fall if you walk at night too often."

At this moment, Jiang Shu heard the noise and immediately stood up, asking with concern, "Niannian, are you alright?"

Wen Jinnian reached for a tissue on the table to wipe her face, and replied calmly, "It's okay, brother, you guys have fun, I'm going back to change my clothes."

Jiang Shu raised his left hand, glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist, and frowned slightly. "It's already past one o'clock today. I've booked suites for everyone here. Please get some rest and go back tomorrow."

As Wen Jinnian passed by the room where Fan Tong and Wu Chi had opened their doors, she paused slightly, slowed down, and glanced inside casually before heading straight for her own room.

After taking a shower, Wen Jinnian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Oh no, her period was probably coming early.

She was thinking of calling the waiter to bring up sanitary products, but she was worried that they might not have bought the brand she usually used.

So she put on a trench coat and walked out of the Sheraton Hotel.

The evening breeze in March still carried the lingering chill of winter, cutting at the skin like an ice scalpel, stinging the cheeks, and creeping into the collar, making one shiver involuntarily.

Wen Jinnian went upstairs after buying her things. As she passed the corner, she noticed that the door to a suite was ajar.

A casual glance inside revealed, to my surprise, Chi Yige entangled with a woman.

Driven by curiosity, she stopped in her tracks.

The man's cold, deep voice clearly reached Wen Jinian's ears through the crack in the door.

"Miss Shi, what brings you to my door dressed like this in the middle of the night?"
