Under normal circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Che would take them to Changeling. The spot was popular because the crowd was not too young, and the ambience was a little calmer than other clubs. However, the risk of meeting Qi Han there was quite high based on his usual nightlife patterns.As always, w.a.n.g Che would never take any action without taking into account the potential consequences of each variable. And in this case, he did not want to interfere. His thoughts were like those of a time traveller trying to protect the natural timeline. Though Qi Han was his friend, he had his own thoughts and considerations.
In the end, the four people stepped into Calibrate. Calibrate was popular, but it was highly restrictive. Therefore, the crowd was a little smaller. Unlike Changeling, one would not find celebrities like actors and singers unless they had a really good background.
If anyone wanted to have casual fun with some famous people, they would definitely not go to Calibrate. However, it was perfect for the four of them because they were not looking to pick someone up for a one night stand.
"This looks fun." Hu Lei clapped her hands a little in a gleeful way.
The design of the club reminded her of Vladimir"s place in Russia except without the super dark ambience, BDSM plays and other questionable fun activities. The lounge, in which they sat down in on the VIP floor, had a perfect view of the lighted dance floor. However, Hu Lei stood up and leaned over the rails for a closer look.
There were some people dancing, but they all looked like professionals. The dance was quite mesmerising and interesting. Hu Lei could not help looking without blinking. When she looked like she was ready to fall over, Zhong Feng pulled her back. She laughed awkwardly.
"There"s no need to worry. I am quite resilient. Even if I fall, I would not be injured." Her body had never posed a problem, even if it looked frail. Her mind was the only concern.
"I still don"t want you to fall down. Do you want to give me a heart attack?" Zhong Feng tightened his arm around the supple waist.
Within a few moments, a few bottles of top-shelf liquor were brought over. It can be said that w.a.n.g Che could not be faulted as a host. No one had even noticed him making the order. He even poured a drink for each of them.
"Don"t drink too much." Zhong Feng said like the party p.o.o.per he was.
Hu Lei rolled her eyes and downed a shot of gold tequila. The poor man could only look on helplessly. Didn"t she say that she only liked sweet things? She poured another and smiled at him, indicating for him to raise his gla.s.s.
"I drove."
"We can get a taxi." She paused. "Have you ever even been on a taxi?"
Zhong Feng looked at her flatly. What kind of a.s.sumptions did she have of him? Well, although if he was totally frank, he had not been on a taxi per se. But a rental car counted, right?
"I am just kidding, Young Master Zhong." She leaned closer and spoke in a lower voice. "You can call back the chauffeur, and we can go to the Area 99 villa. It could be a fun night."
The siren-like voice won him over and he raised his gla.s.s. As they drunk together, Zhong Feng felt like he had fallen under peer pressure. Is this what parents warned their good children about? But again, even if Hu Lei asked him to follow her to the underworld, he would not think twice.
"Do you see us?" Shun asked out aloud.
He had been ready to be fed dog food gladly because he wanted w.a.n.g Che to understand that he should not desire what was not his. But why was he also suffering? As a forever alone guy, he felt that this should be against human rights.
"Do you want to burst my eardrums?" w.a.n.g Che looked with casual grace as he held a whiskey in his hand. Though he looked totally relaxed, Shun immediately clammed up tight in fear, leaving only a hint of rebellion in his eyes.
"Shun, your courage is too small." Hu Lei laughed.
Shun did not want to accept this judgement, but the facts were before him. The three men chatted casually about things, mostly business and technology. Unfortunately, they did not have juicy gossip, so the tipsy Hu Lei quickly became bored because there was not intrigue.
After a couple more drinks, she pointed to the dance floor and left. Zhong Feng wanted to stop her, but he also wanted for her to have fun. In the end, he remained on the seat with much difficulty. Still, he lost interest in the conversation and chose to watch her.
Hu Lei who was already feeling warmth in her belly descended to the dance floor. Usually, the people who came to Calibrate were elite and did not dance. They only watched the professionals who were hired to liven up the place. Dancing was encouraged. However, only the most confident people would dare to dance amidst professionals.
When Hu Lei went down to the dance floor, a few gazes turned to her. There were a few gazes of interest from some men and a lot of the women looked at her in contempt. After all, Hu Lei did not look like she was much. With her casual fitting jeans and a long-sleeved cashmere sweater, she actually looked good. However, in this place, she did not really amount to much.
The thought on everyone"s mind was one: she just wants to attract attention.
When the dancers on the floor saw her interest, two of the lead girls beckoned to her to come closer. Hu Lei did not think much of it. She walked to them with a smile and a sway in her step. The tequila had already seeped into her system. She did not exactly feel drunk, just happy and excited.
The two dancers stood on each side of her and demonstrated their routine deliberately and somewhat slowly. Hu Lei was not new to dancing in clubs, but the facts of her nightlife were not like a normal person would a.s.sume. In her old life, she had needed to deal with a lot of dangerous people, and one of the easiest places to find targets was in clubs. People tended to let down their guards once they started drinking and having fun.
All she would need was to move around a filled club for a little while, dancing and pretending to be drunk. Then, she would drop in a little something in the targets" drinks as they were served or as she walked by a table. In most cases, she did not like fighting because there were too many variables. Her special concoctions were more reliable.
In any case, dancing was not hard for her because she was extremely flexible. In addition, she had trained a little when she was a teenager.
After a single demonstration, she joined in the dance smoothly, shocking the two girls who had thought that she was a complete newbie trying to have a little fun. She matched their moves by watching them. Usually, if a person had relatively good skills, they would only need to hear the music and get the general gist of the dance, and they would be able to follow along.
In the VIP lounge, Zhong Feng watched with dark concealed eyes, unblinking. In the shadows, another pair of eyes looked at the graceful, laughing woman with unwavering focus.
