Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Act First, Report Later
Tan Biyang had just left when Xiao Qing opened her eyes, which were clear and sharp. Where was there even a hint of grogginess of having just woken up from unconsciousness?
Xiao Qing slowly sat up and looked around, finally resting her gaze on the men’s shirt at the end of the bed.
She was aware of everything that had happened in the corridor earlier. Tan Biyang had her sit against the door, and just by slightly turning her head, she could hear the sounds of a man and woman getting it on.
She thought Tan Biyang would be at a loss for how to deal with her, but it didn’t take long before Tan Biyang picked her up again and, after walking a short distance, laid her down on a bed.
Now, seeing the man’s shirt, she had a cold smile on her lips. She had thought she would be let off easily, but she was probably just dumped in some man’s room carelessly.
That afternoon, Chestnut had briefed her on the arrangement for the banquet, so naturally, she knew about the allocation of rooms.
But why was there no one in the room?
Xiao Qing stood up and walked around the room, checked the bathroom as well, and truly, there was no one to be seen.
Just as she was thinking about leaving, suddenly there came a sound from the balcony, and she instantly held her breath.
Through the faint light outside, she could see a tall figure swaying, moving towards the inside.
Xiao Qing’s mind quickly searched for a countermeasure.
Leaving now would seem too hasty. The corridor was in plain view and if she made too much noise and caught the attention of that person, it might cause quite a stir. Not to mention, it was uncertain whether Tan Biyang had left or not.
She thought it over. The people staying here were nothing more than colleagues, and judging by body shape, there were only two or three colleagues with such good figures, and they were all young fresh meat. If she claimed seniority and said she entered the wrong room, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, should it?
As she was pondering, the figure had already crossed the balcony and entered the room.
Xiao Qing thought, it was over, she hadn’t thought of a plan yet, and the person was already out.
She looked up, and a man in a bathrobe appeared before her. Their eyes met, and Xiao Qing was momentarily stunned.
The man apparently hadn’t expected to see her either and was also taken aback for a moment.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Why can’t I be here?"
Both individuals were quick-witted, quickly recovering from the initial shock with a question and an answer in a matter of seconds.
Xiao Qing cleared her throat, not intending to hide it from him, "Tan Biyang spiked my drink, I passed out, and when I woke up, I found myself here."
Alright, she admitted she still hid some key facts from him, like the fact that she had never actually fallen for the plan and was merely turning the tables on them.
"Tan Biyang?"
Xiao Qing nodded, not wanting to continue the topic with him, "Lu Jinyang, wasn’t this place booked by New City Entertainment? How come you’re here?"
Lu Jinyang raised an eyebrow and asked, "With my status, is it so difficult to arrange this?"
Thinking about it, Xiao Qing said, "It doesn’t seem very difficult." She guessed that he must have been invited by some high-ranking person, and that’s why a room was specially kept for him.
No, wait!
Xiao Qing suddenly remembered that this morning he had taken the two kids away. If he appeared here, then where were Dabao and Xiaobao?
Seeing her confusion, he said in a leisurely manner, "My mother came over today, and she was very happy to see Dabao and Xiaobao. She said she wanted to take them back home to stay for a few days."
Xiao Qing: "!!!"
"Don’t worry, the Lu Family will not treat them poorly."
Xiao Qing’s heart was crumbling.
What she cared about wasn’t this, but that this man, without making a sound, without asking her opinion, had let someone take the children away, acting first and reporting later.
