novelTaking the Shot for Him
| ← Ch.0810 | Ch.0812 → |
When Qin Haodong entered the room, the lights were on. Xi Youmi was standing in front of the window in a pink nightdress. She was gazing out of the window at the night scene with folded arms, deeply absorbed in her thoughts. She didn't even notice Qin Haodong stepping into the room.
In the light, Xi Youmi's fair skin set off by the pink color of her nightdress was indeed inviting to the eye.
Her face was exquisite, her figure was perfectly curvy, and her temperament was extraordinary. This woman was flawless in every aspect. Nobody could find any bit of imperfection in her.
Qin Haodong asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh! You're back!"
Hearing Qin Haodong's voice, Xi Youmi immediately turned around, happily bounced toward him, and affectionately held him by the arm.
"Where did you go after you left in a hurry today? If you hadn't left by yourself, I would have thought that you were really on a date with a famous model of our company."
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "I went to see a friend. He needed me for something."
He didn't tell her the truth. Instead, he found a random excuse to gloss it over.
Xi Youmi didn't care about these things anyway. She gently held Qin Haodong's arm and slightly blushed."Thank you for saving me today. If you hadn't shown up in time, I would be at a loss about what to do. Maybe I would really have to pack my things and go back to my country."
Qin Haodong said, "It's not a big deal. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have upset Jared, so I kind of owed you one."
A charming smile appeared on Xi Youmi's face."Anyway, I should thank you. You've saved me twice, if we count that time in Huaxia. How should I pay you back? Do you really not want me to do it with you?"
She gazed at Qin Haodong with her big, beautiful eyes. Even the least romantic man could see the affection in her eyes.
Qin Haodong beamed, saying, "As I've told you, it's nothing. Don't mention it. You are not in my debt or something."
Xi Youmi remarked, "But I was really surprised to see that you have such strong connections in M Country. Even the entire Jared family has succumbed to you."
"I have a friend who has some influence in M Country. He made a call to the old Jared."
"That friend of yours is really amazing. With just a phone call, he increased the compensation by 10 times, " Xi Youmi said in awe."I've reserved 10 million from the 300 million dollars as compensation for them, and the rest has been transferred into your bank account."
"Is 10 million enough? Why didn't you keep more?"
"Ten million is already very generous compensation. In terms of material losses, it's only about 300, 000 dollars. The rest of the money has been given to the colleagues who have been beaten as reimbursement."
Qin Haodong nodded and stopped talking about the money issue. He then asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Yes." Xi Youmi looked up at him and said, "But I want you to take me to a bar and have some drinks with me."
Qin Haodong grinned."That's not a place for a girl like you. Is there anything bothering you?"
"Not really. I've long heard that the bars in M Country are very fun places. But I don't have a boyfriend to go with me, and I don't dare to go there alone, so I want you to accompany me." Xi Youmi raised a finger and urged, "Just this one time. I just want to go there and have a look."
Qin Haodong said, "Well, okay, I'll go with you."
"Great! Thanks!"
Xi Youmi gave Qin Haodong a peck on the cheek and then ran back to her wardrobe to change. Moments later, she left the house with Qin Haodong.
There was a bar called "Blue Tone" not far from their apartment. They walked there hand in hand.
As soon as they stepped into the bar, they heard raucous music coming from inside. The whole place was permeated with a wild vibe.
In the bar, countless men and women were fanatically shaking their booties on the dance floor. Unlike the bars in Huaxia, this place entertained almost all kinds of people with different skin colors on Earth. Whether it was the black, white, or yellow-skinned people, they were all releasing their passion through dancing.
Bathed in the colorful neon lights, a tattooed woman wearing nothing but her underwear was holding a steel pipe on the dancing floor, wriggling her body as agilely as a snake. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏𝓃o𝚟𝙚𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
Qin Haodong had no interest in this kind of woman. He merely glanced at her and then tugged Xi Youmi to the bar counter.
Behind the bar counter stood a bartender with the mohawk hairstyle. He was fumbling with a bottle of wine, performing a series of acrobatic tricks in a row.
After Qin Haodong and Xi Youmi sat down, the bartender asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Xi Youmi said, "Two glasses of Flaming Lips, please."
"Sure. It'll be ready in a minute."
The Flaming Lips was a kind of cocktail. After that, the bartender began to skillfully mix the drinks.
Qin Haodong inquired, "Why did you order this specific drink?"
Under the neon light, Xi Youmi tilted her head and looked at him with blurred eyes as she answered, "I've seen this kind of cocktail in a magazine. It says that the red color of this drink can make people think of fire, blood, and the sun. It can encourage people to relish their passion and can also kindle the hidden burning desire in people's hearts. Thus, I want to give it a try."
"Here is your drink. Please enjoy."
The bartender was very proficient in his job. He soon brought them two glasses of a splendid-looking cocktail.
Xi Youmi picked up her glass and took a sip. After savoring the flavor, she said, "It tastes good."
At this time, a man in ripped clothes came to Xi Youmi's side and said, "Miss, may I have the honor to dance with you?"
Xi Youmi looked back and smiled at him apologetically."Sorry, my man doesn't like me to dance with others."
The man in ripped clothes leered and then turned to look for other prey.
In this bar, Xi Youmi, an oriental woman who was exceptionally gorgeous and carried an elegant air, was undoubtedly in the limelight. Although she had Qin Haodong sitting by her side, about four men had come to hit on her in the brief while after they sat down.
After the two drank their glass of cocktail, a captivating blush climbed onto Xi Youmi's fair and tender cheeks."Did you see that? So many men have invited me to dance. Don't you have any thoughts about that?"
Qin Haodong said, "What thought do you expect me to have?"
"The thought that any man would have, of course." Seeing that Qin Haodong's eyes were still cool and clear, a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes."Is it that I'm not charming enough or you actually prefer western cuisine?
"Let me tell you, in fact, my boobs are as big as those western women's."
As she spoke, she pressed her perky breasts tightly against Qin Haodong's arm.
"Umm..."
Qin Haodong was mortified. He realized that Xi Youmi must have overheard his conversation with that tall, foreign woman during the day.
"That's not what I meant. You are very attractive and appealing."
Xi Youmi's sexy red lips approached his ear and whispered, "Then tell me, do you like me or not?"
Qin Haodong replied, "You're a gorgeous woman with both pretty looks and enchanting temperament. If I say I don't like you, it must be a lie. But we haven't known each other for a long time. Perhaps I do like you, but my feelings for you are not love yet.
"And as I've told you, I have many girlfriends."
"That's a lie! If you don't love me, why did you trust me with the 300 million dollars? You know it's a huge sum. Weren't you afraid that I'd take the money and run away?"
Qin Haodong said, "Money is always a number to me. It can't compare with the relationships I have in my life. Even our friendship is more precious to me than the 300 million dollars. And as it turned out, you didn't run off with the money anyway."
Xi Youmi said with a look of annoyance, "Do you have to be so pertinacious? Is it really that hard for you to accept my love? I said I don't mind your other girlfriends. What else do you want me to do?"
Qin Haodong said, "But I mind!"
"You don't know women at all. Talk to the hand."
Xi Youmi snorted and looked away, very much like a young wife throwing a tantrum.
At this time, a young man wearing a white shirt and a mustache came over. Courteously, he asked Xi Youmi, "Beautiful lady, could I invite you to dance?"
Xi Youmi originally wanted to refuse. But after she glanced at Qin Haodong, who was still sitting there with a detached look, she said out of spite, "All right."
Then, she followed the man with a mustache to the dance floor, but she started to regret it the moment she came to the dance floor. The bar counter was dimly lit, so she didn't see anything fishy here before.
But as soon as she got closer, she found that all the people dancing here were closely attached to their partner. Many of them were making out while dancing. Seeing this, Xi Youmi's cheeks flushed tomato red despite herself.
However, since she was already here, she couldn't dump her partner and leave alone. She could only hope that the man with a mustache would continue to be as gentlemanly as he was and not do anything out of the line.
The man with a mustache seemed to have noticed Xi Youmi's unease. He remarked, "Don't be nervous. We are all here to have some fun, aren't we?"
Xi Youmi bit her lip and nodded slightly. Slowly, led by the man with a mustache, she began to dance.
At first, the man with a mustache still behaved himself. But as time went on, his hand that was holding her slender waist slowly moved downward. Later, he actually placed his hand on her hip and pinched her.
"Ah!"
Xi Youmi let out a shriek and turned to flee. But the man with a mustache grabbed her hand and held her waist in a tight grip, refusing to let her go. Moreover, his hairy mouth made its way to hers.
"You jerk, let go of me!"
Xi Youmi put one hand on the man's chest to prevent him from getting nearer. She began to struggle desperately. However, this kind of behavior was very common in bars. Adding that the music was very loud, the people around did not pay much attention to her.
Qin Haodong, who was sitting at the bar counter, had seen everything clearly. He involuntarily shook his head and then headed for the dance floor.
Seeing that Qin Haodong was coming, the man with a mustache became more relaxed and let go of Xi Youmi.
However, just as Xi Youmi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to turn around and leave, the man with a mustache abruptly took out a pistol from behind. The black muzzle was pointed at Qin Haodong from under Xi Youmi's armpit.
This movement of his was ingeniously secretive. And with Xi Youmi's body as the cover, no one had seen him aim a gun at someone.
Yet, Xi Youmi saw it clearly. Her rosy face suddenly paled. Seeing that the man with a mustache was about to pull the trigger, she hastily shouted, "Haodong, watch out!"
Then, she spun around and stood in front of the muzzle of the man with a mustache.
The gun seemed to have a silencer. With a soft puff, the bullet entered Xi Youmi's body.
The man with a mustache was shocked. He didn't expect that Xi Youmi would cover for Qin Haodong with her own body.
Just as he raised his gun and was about to shoot again, a big hand had already seized his neck. With a crack, his cervical vertebra was broken.
Although the bar was in a clutter, Qin Haodong's Spirit had captured everything going on here, including how Xi Youmi took the shot for him.
After killing the man with a mustache, he held the limp Xi Youmi in his arms and asked anxiously, "How are you?"
A sad but beautiful smile surfaced on Xi Youmi's face."I'm fine. I'm glad to die for you."
"Don't talk nonsense. With me here, you won't die!"
As he spoke, Qin Haodong carried her in his arms and headed for the outside.
At this moment, the guests in the bar finally noticed that someone had been killed. Screaming in horror, they hurriedly retreated to both sides. In the crowd, a bulky black man aimed his pistol at Qin Haodong again.
