Chapter 961: What Do You Want
“Producer, may I ask where Liu Chengcheng is?” Bai Qi asked directly.
“Miss Bai, you came back?” The producer had a good impression of Bai Qi. “Are you looking for Liu Chengcheng? She’s not on set right now.”
“No? Then can you tell me her home address?”
The producer chuckled instantly. “Miss Bai, it’ll be too childish to think that Liu Chengcheng would be at home if she’s not on set. You saw General Zhou here earlier, I reckon that the two of them are now in a hotel after their date.”
Bai Qi was so naive to the point where she didn’t understand what the word “hotel” implied. In her heart, she fiercely despised the two people, especially the man.
“Producer, do you know which hotel they are in?”
…
The producer wasn’t sure which hotel it was, but there were only a few five-star hotels nearby. So the producer gave her all the names of the hotel and told her to try her luck.
The hotel wouldn’t reveal any information about the clients, so Bai Qi pretended to be Liu Chengcheng’s a.s.sistant. She walked into the hall and asked the front desk anxiously, “Hi, I’m Liu Chengcheng’s a.s.sistant. Is Chengcheng staying here? The director added a scene tonight, and her phone can’t be reached. I need to inform her immediately. Can you check for me?”
The receptionist looked at Bai Qi for a second then said, “Wait a moment, I’ll check for you.”
“Okay, thank you.”
The receptionist took out the registration manual and opened it. Bai Qi took a peek casually.
The receptionist quickly closed the manual and nodded, “Yes, Liu Chengcheng is indeed staying in our hotel. But we can’t disclose the room number of our clients and let others in. I can go and inform her on your behalf.”
“Okay, thank you.” Bai Qi thanked her.
“You’re welcome,” The front desk stepped into the elevator.
Bai Qi looked around and made sure that no one took notice of her. Then, she quickly walked to the stairs. She didn’t expect her luck to be so good that Liu Chengcheng was staying in the first hotel she searched. Just now, she saw Liu Chengcheng’s name in the registration manual, the corresponding room number was 1903.
Bai Qi quickened her pace.
When she reached the 19th floor, Bai Qi walked into the corridor. She saw that the door to room 1903 was open, and Liu Chengcheng was talking to the receptionist by the door.
They finished talking soon, and the receptionist turned to leave.
By the time the receptionist had disappeared from Bai Qi’s sight, the door to room 1903 had also closed. Bai Qi quickly went up and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Liu Chengcheng’s voice sounded inside the room.
Bai Qi tweaked her voice, “Room service.”
“Okay, I’m coming.”
The door opened and Liu Chengcheng appeared.
Liu Chengcheng was shocked when she saw Bai Qi outside the door. “Why are you here?” Liu Chengcheng wanted to shout, “Security…”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up and she quickly reached out her hand and struck the back of Liu Chengcheng’s neck. Liu Chengcheng’s vision blurred and fainted on the spot.
Bai Qi jumped into the room. She lowered her eyes and looked at Liu Chengcheng, who had fallen onto the carpet. Bai Qi was planning to negotiate her, but she wanted to call security. Bai Qi had no choice but to knock her out.
It didn’t matter, Bai Qi could just negotiate with the man.
Liu Chengcheng had just taken a shower and was wearing a low-cut short dress. It was very revealing. Most importantly, she was wearing a pair of black, silk fish-net stockings to spice up the mood.
Bai Qi had heard people say that many men were very perverted. They liked to change up the games they play in the bedroom. That man was probably the same.
Bai Qi walked forward. The layout and environment of this presidential suite were naturally the best. However, the lighting in the room was strange. Red, yellow, and green lights intersected, appearing very seductive. Bai Qi glanced at the soft bed in the room, she could even imagine the two having s.e.x there if she had been here a bit later.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
Bai Qi heard the sound of running water and looked towards the bathroom. The man was taking a shower.
She thought about what she should say later. Since she was here to ask for a favor, she needed to act nice and not drag the Hall Master down with her.
At this moment, someone said in a deep and masculine voice, “Get the lighter on the nightstand for me.”
Lighter?
Bai Qi glanced at the nightstand. There was indeed a lighter there. She bent down and picked up the lighter. Then she walked toward the bathroom.
The bathroom door was left ajar, and a large palm with distinct joints stretched out.
Bai Qi handed the lighter over.
The lighter was in his palm. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but the man’s palm moved suddenly, and their hands locked together. Before she knew it, she got pulled into the bathroom.
“It’s you?” Zhou Yao looked at the face in front of him and said.
Bai Qi did not expect to be exposed like this. On second thought, it’s only natural that with the man’s skills, he probably noticed her the moment she entered the room. He asked her for the lighter just to lure her into his trap.
Bai Qi glanced at him, and her expression immediately became unnatural. The sound of water flowing through the frosted gla.s.s door continued. A gust of cold air suggests that he was taking a cold shower. At this moment, there was only a towel tied to his waist, so his upper body was naked. It was either shampoo or body wash, but the white foam on his skin had not been rinsed. This white color formed a strong visual contrast with the bronze color of his skin, looking unruly and wild.
His neat short hair was wet, and the ends of his hair were still dripping water. Bai Qi saw how the water droplets fell on his strong forearm and splashed arrogantly into all directions. There were also water droplets that streamed down his chest and into his narrow waist.
Bai Qi did not dare to look further down. She had never seen a man without clothes. Although she had a bad impression of this man, the way he looked made her ears burn.
The philosophy that “by nature, we desire food and s.e.x” was correct. This man was handsome and had a fit body, it’s natural for her to blush because of that.
“Let go!” Her wrist was still in his palm.
This was the second time he grabbed her wrist. His palm was rough and covered with a layer of calluses. It looked like a hand that held guns all year round.
Zhou Yao stared at her expressionlessly. His eyes were deep and stern. There was even a hint of laziness from showering, “What do you want?”
Bai Qi almost choked. She stared at the man, who was one head higher than her. “Do you have no idea why I came here? It’s all thanks to you!”
Zhou Yao felt her anger and frowned slightly.
The man didn’t speak and only stared at her in a manner she couldn’t decipher. Bai Qi felt an invisible pressure. This pressure came from the man’s shrewdness and overwhelming aura.
He was a sharp man.
However, it bewildered Bai Qi that this man had chosen to be with a woman like Liu Chengcheng.
He remained silent but someone needed to break the deadlock. Bai Qi thought for a moment then said, “I thought we’ve settled the matter that occurred on set earlier. Perhaps Miss Liu felt that she had been wronged, but there’s no need for you to send forces to give my people such a hard time. The Bai’s Martial Arts Academy has been there for decades. It’s despicable of you to ask the landlord to take back the place.”
