You Owe Me, My Love

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Maybe it’s part of their marketing strategy. They let you try the product out for free first, and then when you get hooked onto it, they start charging you a fee.” Bai Rong guessed.

“That’s what I think too. Why don’t we chase them away?” The girls discussed in low voices.

Bai Rong nodded. “That would be for the best.”

“Let’s go back then.” Liu Yan pushed open the door and called, “Hey, you over there! Please leave, we don’t need your service.”

“Did we do something wrong?” The man with the wolf mask asked whiningly.

“I think you talk too much.” Liu Yan said roughly.

Shen Yiyan, who was wearing the dragon mask, seemed nonchalant. He stood up and dusted off his clothes, then dipped his head in an elegant nod to Bai Rong and Liu Yan before walking out.

Since Shen Yiyan had left, the man in the wolf mask hurried after him.

Seeing how compliant they were, Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She lifted a glass of wine to her lips and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.

Right then, Bai Rong’s mobile phone started ringing.

Gu Mingchen was calling her. She picked up the call immediately.

Hearing the faint music in the background, Gu Mingchen asked, “Did you go in?”

Bai Rong felt a little angry at herself. She had been in such a hurry to pick up her phone that she had completely forgotten to turn off the music first. “I only came here to sing, really.”

“Go to the entrance right now. If you go in again, I promise I’ll break one of your legs.” Gu Mingchen said angrily.

“Got it.”

“You know that the men outside are all mine, right? Don’t try and gamble with luck.” Gu Mingchen reminded her sternly.

“Yup.” Bai Rong hung up the call.

“What’s going on?” Liu Yan looked at her quizzically.

“I have to step out for a while and I might not be able to come back inside though. Why don’t you leave with me?” Bai Rong was quite worried for Liu Yan.

“I booked a three-hour session. This karaoke room lets you have the room for the entire night if you book it for three hours. I’m not going to work tomorrow, so I’m going to sing as much as I want.” Liu Yan didn’t want to leave.

“It’s too dangerous for you to be alone here.”
