There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Extra 6.2

The car took the three of them to the underground parking lot of a private club in the city.

From the parking lot, the obviously familiar Fang Xusheng directly swiped a VIP gold card, leading Huo Zhonglou and Qin Ke into the elevator.

Just before the elevator doors closed.

Fang Xusheng, enjoying the drama and not fearing trouble, didn’t look at the two behind him, but smiled and asked while looking outside.

“This is the last chance to change your mind – Director Huo, do you really want to go up?”

Huo Zhonglou said coldly, “Close the door.”

Fang Xusheng shrugged, about to move, when a petite figure beat him to it, stepping forward to press the close door button.

The elevator doors closed.

The elevator ascended.

Qin Ke, with an expressionless face, turned back to look at the man.

As Fang Xusheng was coming out to relax, he had naturally informed the club in advance.

As soon as they exited the elevator, people came forward with smiling faces to help the three take off their coats.

“Young Master Fang, you haven’t been here for several days.”

The leader said with a smile.

“Yeah, I ran into a ruthless slave driver.” Fang Xusheng looked back, “Look, this gentleman who came with me is the eldest young master of the Huo family. You should have heard about the consequences of angering him, right?”

“…”

The club manager, who had been wearing a smiling face, stiffened, instinctively looking up towards the person behind Fang Xusheng.

What met his eyes was a smiling white fox mask.

Manager: “……?”

The manager was indeed sharp-eared and quick-eyed. Recalling what he had heard about this young master of the Huo family, the puzzled expression on his face lasted for less than a second before being replaced with a sincere smile.

“So it’s Young Master Huo, I’ve long heard of your reputation. Please follow me… oh, who’s this?”

Seeing a petite girl walk out from behind the man, the club manager was completely bewildered—he had heard that Fang Xusheng was coming, and knowing the preferences of Fang Xusheng and his friends, he had arranged for a few female models to accompany them for drinks in advance. Who would have thought that someone would bring their own companion?

Fang Xusheng smiled and hooked his arm around the manager’s shoulder, “That’s Young Master Huo’s little beauty, don’t stare too much, or Young Master Huo might gouge out your eyes.”

The manager snapped back to reality and could only repeatedly apologize with a smile.

A moment later, the manager led the three to the private room reserved on this floor.

“Young Master Fang, your friends have already arrived early.”

“Mm, I know. Thank you for your trouble.”

Fang Xusheng turned and slipped the man a tip, dismissed him, and stepped forward to open the door.

It was as if there was a roar.

The noisy music, which had been blocked by the soundproof walls and door, suddenly burst out.

In both her past and present life, this was Qin Ke’s first time coming to such a place, and she was almost stunned with shock.

But Fang Xusheng had already swaggered in.

“You really won’t go back?”

The club was noisier than expected, and Huo Zhonglou turned to look at the girl beside him with dark eyes.

Qin Ke clenched her fingertips.

A few seconds later, she smiled brightly, but her eyes were determined.

“If you don’t go back, I won’t go back.”

“…Suit yourself.”

Huo Zhonglou turned and entered the private room.

Inside were some of Fang Xusheng’s fair-weather friends, along with a few small models arranged by the manager to accompany them for drinks.

Huo Zhonglou’s mask naturally caused many of them to be stunned and amused, but as soon as they heard Fang Xusheng mention the Huo family name, they suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.

“You can even bring the eldest young master of the Huo family,” a female model sitting next to Fang Xusheng hugged his arm, while subtly rubbing her ample chest against him, giggling, “Young Master Fang, you really have connections everywhere.”

“You’re such a sweet talker.”

Once Fang Xusheng entered such a place, he brought out even more of his natural playboy demeanor.

“Hey, Young Master Fang, who’s this?”

Among Fang Xusheng’s group of fair-weather friends, someone had already fixed their gaze on Qin Ke, and now asked Fang Xusheng expectantly.

“This one?” Fang Xusheng smiled mysteriously, “This is the sister of our Young Master Huo’s fiancée. She had nothing to do tonight, so she came along to have some fun.”

As soon as Fang Xusheng finished speaking, he immediately felt a cold gaze coming from the direction where Huo Zhonglou was seated.

The rest of the people had increasingly strange expressions, causing the private room to fall silent for several seconds.

—

A brother-in-law going out to play at night, bringing along his future sister-in-law??

While everyone was unsure how to react, Fang Xusheng’s eyes rolled, and he patted the female model on his right, saying with a smile.

“It’s Young Master Huo’s first time here. Be a good girl and go keep him company for a few drinks—remember to keep him happy, don’t ruin my reputation.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master Fang.”

The female model, who also didn’t look very old, stood up swaying her slender waist and walked gracefully to the end of the sofa.

Huo Zhonglou was sitting in the outermost position.

“Young Master Huo.”

Accompanied by a lightly pinched voice, that soft, boneless figure had already sat down next to Huo Zhonglou on the inner side.

The female model took two glasses of wine from the table, smiling as she leaned against Huo Zhonglou, “You can call me Wanwan. Let me accompany you for this first drink, how does that sound?”

“…”

Huo Zhonglou hadn’t said a word since entering the private room. Even now, he remained as cold as a stone statue, only his eyes dark as he looked obliquely to the side.

—

The girl who had followed them in stubbornly stood there, obviously on guard and at a loss due to her first time in such a place.

Huo Zhonglou, as if torturing himself, only endured without moving, just watching to see when the girl would no longer be able to bear him and leave.

After a few seconds of this silent confrontation.

Not only did the girl show no intention of retreating, but the emotions in her eyes became even more resolute.

Huo Zhonglou finally lowered his gaze, a vicious and resolute emotion flashing through his eyes. He reached out to take the wine glass offered by the female model beside him, drank it in one gulp, and leaned back into the sofa. At the same time, he reached out and pulled the female model into his arms.

As soon as that unfamiliar scent came close, Huo Zhonglou’s gaze immediately darkened by several shades. He almost wanted to push her away immediately, but thinking of the girl standing just a few meters away, after freezing for a few seconds, he still forcibly suppressed his disgust and endured it.

The female model let out a surprised cry, but then didn’t struggle, instead giggling coquettishly in the man’s arms—

“Young Master Huo, why are you so rough?”

“…”

Huo Zhonglou lowered his eyes, suppressing silent fury in his gaze.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, the female model hesitated for a moment, but still very professionally smiled and picked up another glass of wine, coaxing to accompany Huo Zhonglou for a second drink.

However, just as she raised the second glass, she suddenly felt a shadow looming over her from above.

The female model paused and looked up.

The girl who had followed them in, wearing no makeup yet prettier and cleaner than any of them, was now standing in front of her, her cute face covered with a thin layer of ice.

“Please move aside.”

Her voice was also cold, as if carrying ice shards.

The others in the private room had originally been watching the situation with varying degrees of interest, and now that conflict had truly arisen, they all lowered their voices and turned their attention to the scene.

The female model hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said,

“Little sister, I’m not sitting here of my own accord, but at the wishes of Young Master Fang and Young Master Huo. Why don’t you ask them if they want me to move?”

“…”

Qin Ke’s gaze shifted sideways, falling on the silently downcast man.

After a pause of a few seconds, in the particularly quiet private room, the girl broke into a smile, but there was not a trace of mirth in her clear eyes.

“Brother… in-law.”

She bit out each syllable, one by one.

“Tell her to move aside.”

“……”

The man who had been silent for so long finally looked up. Those pitch-black eyes had shed all struggle and restraint, leaving only a calm stillness.

Beneath the stillness, however, seemed to be brewing the most frenzied fury.

They stared at each other for five seconds.

Huo Zhonglou let out a hoarse laugh.

His voice, ravaged by fire, sounded sinister and terrifying in this soundproof private room, causing even the female model beside him to hesitate and unconsciously lower her hand.

“You really like me?”

The man laughed and asked in a hoarse voice.

The eyes of others in the private room instantly changed.

But the girl standing at the focal point remained calm and composed.

“I like you.”

“…Fine.”

The glass in the man’s hand was suddenly smashed violently in the center of the room, making a loud “bang” as it shattered on the ceramic floor.

Several female models shrank back in fear.

Huo Zhonglou withdrew his hand and yanked off his mask.

Revealing the face that had been destroyed by fire.

Hideous and terrifying.

“Say it again—”

The man laughed with a hoarse voice, bloodshot eyes crawling into his pitch-black pupils, a pain like piercing the heart and weeping blood as he destroyed all hope with his own hands.

“You. Like. Me?!”

The private room was dead silent.

Even Fang Xusheng’s gasp was stifled, and it took him several seconds to snap back to reality, frowning.

—

He had still underestimated how much Huo Zhonglou cared about this girl, otherwise he would never have dared to make tonight’s probe.

But now it was too late to say anything.

The girl standing there seemed to have been frightened too, her figure frozen in place.

Huo Zhonglou didn’t want to see her terrified and disgusted expression, so he coldly lowered his eyes.

Hearing the deathly silence around him, and seeing the motionless figure in front of his feet as if stunned, a mocking, cold, and self-deprecating smile curved his lips.

“…If you’ve seen enough, then get out. Before I marry your sister Qin Yan, don’t appear in front of me ag—”

His words were abruptly cut off.

Huo Zhonglou’s shirt tie was suddenly grabbed without warning.

He looked up in slight surprise.

He only had time to see Qin Ke’s petite figure kneeling down, with the dazzling light behind her.

—

Amidst someone’s exclamation of surprise, the girl grabbed the man’s tie and directly pressed the stunned Huo Zhonglou against the soft, thick backrest of the sofa. She forcefully kissed and bit the corner of his lips.

“I like you—Huo Zhonglou.”

“This is the last time I’m saying it.”
