Chapter 4 Remember My Name
- A woman's voice was heard as Xie Tiansheng spoke. She grumbled. “Tiansheng, who's calling you in the middle of the night? Hung up the phone, I'm so sleepy....”
- “Beep-” The man hung up the phone mercilessly under the woman's instruction.
- Muqing was left hanging motionlessly with the phone gripped tightly within her hand.
- Sorrowful tears fell from her cheeks......
- She could feel the chills slowly spreading to her trembling hands.
- “Ugh-” She felt her stomach violently churning all of the sudden.
- Thus, Muqing hurriedly got up from her seat and staggered toward the washroom with one hand covering her mouth.
- She did not know how long she stumbled around the corridor for, but she knew that with each step she took, the heavier she felt and the hazier her mind went......
- Tears continued to fall from the corner of her eyes as the pain originating from her churning stomach had spread throughout her body.
- Muqing was stunned as she pushed open the door to the 'washroom'.
- Everyone inside the room turned toward Muqing with astonishment and froze for a moment as well. They were cautious of this drunken woman that had entered their private room by mistake.
- Muqing sized up the luxurious 'washroom' in a daze......
- The interior lighting was dimmed as a mysterious vibe lingered in the air of the room.
- A group of black-clad men can be seen standing apart in two, neatly lined up rows wearing solemn expression.
- Muqing, who was still semi-conscious under the influence of alcohol, did not notice that the men were holding high-end modern guns in their hands. Their gunpoint directed toward her chest.
- With only a single command preventing Muqing from being filled with bullet holes right then and there.
- In the middle of the room stood another man in black outfit, or to be more exact, he was a handsome man dressed in black outfit.
- Under the dimmed blue hue lighting, that man's facial features appeared to be exquisite and surreal.
- Even Muqing, who had seen her fair share of handsome men in the entertainment field, fell into a trance while looking at that beautiful face.
- That man's sharp-looking eyes appeared like a vast ocean as they reflected the shade of the dimmed blue lighting in the room. His penetrative gaze was pensive and incomprehensible to the people looking into his eyes.
- His chiseled and pointy nose was a piece of art without any probable flaws.
- That man's thin lips were curled into a wanton smile that was mesmerizing to the extent of being able to send chills down the spine of everyone that has witnessed it.
- That man stood before the window as he bathed in the moonlight that had filtered through into the room. The sight of him mystified Xia Muqing.
- The handsome man was fixating his penetrative and bewitching eyes at the drunken woman standing at the door. His piercing gaze seemed to be able to see through the thoughts running through everyone's mind.
- “So... sorry. I was looking for the washroom, I think I've entered the wrong place....”
- Muqing regained most of her senses as she took in the bizarre scene inside the room.
- That mysterious man gave his subordinate a pointed look. Then a voice was heard beside Muqing. “Miss, if you are looking for the washroom, please follow me.”
- That man led Xia Muqing toward the personal washroom attached inside the private room.
- Xia Muqing who was still in a partially drunken state did not sense any danger. She only had one thing going on in her mind, and that is to eliminate the pain emanating from her agitated stomach.
- As soon as she entered the washroom, she crouched in front of the toilet bowl and hurled.
- Xia Muqing felt like she was throwing up all the organs inside her body with the content in her stomach as she hurled forcefully from her mouth. Tears of torment streamed down her cheeks and dripped into the toilet bowl as the droplets mixed with her vomit.
- The thought of Xie Tiansheng felt like a sharp knife being stabbed ruthlessly into her fragile heart, bringing only pain and agony.
- “Xie Tiansheng, you're a bastard!”
- Muqing cried as she broke down beside the toilet bowl and vented her emotions by screaming out without any restraint.
- “How can you treat me like this? How can you treat me so cruelly....” sobbed Muqing.
- “Don't you know how much I've loved you? Xie Tiansheng! Xie Tiansheng......” Muqing crouched beside the toilet bowl and hugged herself while continuing sobbing with an aching heart.
- She did not know how she stumbled out of the washroom, but when she walked across the room, she picked up a bottle of XO on the table without thinking and drank straight from the bottle.
- They said that I will not feel pain when I'm drunk. But I'm still hurting, so that must mean that I'm still not drunk enough. I must drink!
- No one in the room stopped her extreme behavior.
- The mysterious man remained seated on the sofa with his slender legs crossed. He propped his delicate face with one hand and narrowed his eyes as he took in the spectacular scene of Xia Muqing drinking straight from the bottle.
- A smile spread across his bewitching lips. That man's expression was cold, thoughtful and indecipherable.
- Muqing knew then that she had completely succumbed under the influence of alcohol.
- The man in front of her was no longer wearing Xie Tiansheng's face. Instead, a man's mesmerizing facial features were present before her eyes.
- “Who... Who are you?” Muqing asked that man in a drunken slur.
- That man smiled in a peculiar and cool manner. “Qi Chenjue! Remember my name.”
