Chapter 144: Phoenix
Xia Luna rolled her eyes. "Get them to leave." She said, referring to the bodyguards in the room.
"You heard her." He glanced at them, and they swiftly retreated.
"May I know what I’m doing here?" She asked, and while he was distracted for a second, she shot to her feet.
Jiang Xingyu grabbed her collar, quickly making her sit back down. "You will have to try harder than that." He had known she would try such a thing.
"What do you want?"
"I’ll show you." The man said before standing and pulling her to her feet, then leading her to a room she knew all too well. She didn’t try to struggle and obediently let him take her to his room. There were many chances to escape. She just needed to earn his trust for a minute, and of course, she wasn’t planning to leave without giving him a piece of her mind.
Making her sit on the bed, he held her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Make that thread disappear. You know what I’m talking about."
He walked over to the dressing table he rarely used and took out a small bottle from a drawer, tossing it at her. "Get that makeup off your face too. It’s repulsive."
"And how is that any of your business?" She chortled.
"I don’t want to think I’m keeping a man in my room. Get it off."
She harrumphed but still did as he said then proceeded to delete the thread. She was still distracted on her phone when he went over to the bed, pulled something from under it, and before she registered what he was doing, she felt a cold sensation on her ankle and a click sound.
