She was clearly the one that was being coerced, but she had to admit that she didn’t feel like she had been forced against her will to do anything.
Li Jinnan saw that she was standing there unmoving. He gently nudged her as he said, “Let’s go.”
Ye Youyou felt a jolt of electricity pa.s.s through her. She quickly straightened her back, lifted her head, and walked forward.
The place Li Jinnan took her was a bar. But, this bar was very different from any bar that Ye Youyou had imagined. It was very lively and crowded.
In place of the psychedelic strobe lights that were common, this place was awash with a warm and romantic yellow glow. The music that was playing in the background wasn’t the loud and energetic music that frequently blasted in common bars. Instead, it was cla.s.sic Cantonese oldies. The song that was playing at the moment was “Endlessly Vast” by the band Beyond.
The familiar melody inadvertently stirred up her nostalgia. A group of people inside began singing together in rhythm with the music. It sounded pleasant to the ears.
It was Ye Youyou’s first time there. As Li Jinnan led her in, she was taken in by her new surroundings.
“Hey, whom do we have here? Isn’t this our dear Major Li?” a dark-skinned man asked as he walked up.
The tight s.h.i.+rt he was wearing outlined his physique perfectly. He had wide shoulders and a narrow waist, long legs, and facial lines that were very prominent. One glance and anyone could tell he looked like a tough guy.
He whistled and said in a loud voice, “Gather! Greetings, Sir!”
Many people looked over when they heard him. When they saw Li Jinnan, they were all taken by surprise.
“Third Brother!”
“Major Li!”
“Lao San?”
Li Jinnan’s face broke out in a small smile. When he turned and saw that Ye Youyou had an expression of surprise on her face, he explained, “This bar belongs to one of my friends in the army. Many of the people here are close friends.”
The man who had greeted Li Jinnan earlier heard his words and hurriedly interjected, “There might be many friends here, but there are customers too! Many of them are frequent customers! You look like a nice lady. I’m Wu Ren, Third Brother’s friend from the army.”
Wu Ren? As in the name of the popular mooncake flavor?
Ye Youyou found this name a little surprising. She reached her hand out to shake Wu Ren’s lightly and said, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Ye Youyou.”
Wu Ren blew a wolf-whistle and said, “What a nice name! You’re the first girl our dear Third Brother has brought here. You’re so pretty! You’ve got pretty good taste, Third Brother!”
Ye Youyou began to feel a little awkward. It seemed that they had gotten the wrong idea. She looked up at Li Jinnan and found that he didn’t have much of a reaction on his face.
In a low voice, he replied, “Don’t talk nonsense. She’s an artist under me. She was in a bad mood today, so I brought her here to cheer her up.”
An artist under him? If I was really just an employee, would he have brought me here?
Wu Ren raised his eyebrows and burst out laughing.Read latest chapters at vipnovel.com
Who is he?
He was Li Jinnan’s brother-in-arms, as well as his old friend. Furthermore, he was an expert that had been managing this bar for a long time.
When he heard Li Jinnan’s words, he was able to approximately make out what Li Jinnan’s relations.h.i.+p with this lady was.
Wu Ren wiggled his brows and gave Li Jinnan a look. He quickly turned his head away and yelled, “The activity begins at 10, everyone!”
He turned back to look at Li Jinnan. With laughter and teasing in his voice, he said, “What a coincidence. You came right before 10.”
Wham!
The lights all around suddenly went off, and a voice suddenly boomed over the stereo system piercingly.
Ye Youyou creased her brows. In the next moment, a ray of light appeared right in the middle of the stage.
“Good evening, everybody,” a male voice rang out. The accent of the foreigner sounded a little funny. “Welcome to the Restless Night Bar!”
