novelI Want to Make You Stay (69)

The rain grew heavier, and after half an hour, all the guests at the observation desk had left one by one, leaving her standing alone there.
When a sudden flash of thunder appeared in the distant sky, Fang Erlan raised her head abruptly, multiple scenes suddenly flashing in her head.
"My Lord, I like you so much!"
"My Lord, you're my sky, my everything!"
"My Lord, to be able to marry you, I've used up all my luck in this lifetime."
"My Lord, I want to give birth to so many children who look like you. That way, when you're not at home, I can look at them and think of you..."
"My Lord, I don't want to die. I haven't spent enough time with you..."
"My Lord..."
Her red umbrella fell to the ground and rolled over a few times. Fang Erlan stared blanking at a bright source of light, the scenes in her head turning into a blur rapidly before fading away.
No matter how stupid she was, she seemed to have understood something.
She had to see Xiao Chenyang!
She immediately dialed his number, but his phone was switched off!
While she was running down the steps of the observation deck, she missed her footing and tumbled down the stairs due to her rush.
When her body landed on the bottom of the stairs, it took Fang Erlan quite a struggle to get back up on her feet.
She felt a stinging pain coming from her hand, and it seemed that it had been grazed.
But she could not afford to care about that at the moment.
With her body completely drenched, she ran to the registration counter for guests.
"Which room is Xiao Chenyang staying in?"
"What is it that you're looking for him about?"
"I asked you which room he's staying in!" Fang Erlan exclaimed impatiently."Which room is he staying in? Which room!"
"Sorry, if you don't tell us what the matter is, we can't disclose it to you."
Fang Erlan decided not to enquire anymore and simply went to knock on every door.
At such a late timing at night, it was obviously natural for her to get scolded by the guests when she knocked on their doors, but Fang Erlan could not be bothered about that either.
When she knocked on the door of room no. 8, Fang Erlan gazed at the girl who opened the door in astonishment and asked, "Is he inside?"
Jiang Shu looked at her in a state of alarm and asked, "Ms. Fang, what happened to you?"
"Please help me to tell him that I want to see him."
"Alright, give me a moment." Jiang Shu turned and went back into the room.
Not long after, she returned and said, "Ms. Fang, he said that it's very late already so he doesn't want to see you."
Fang Erlan shifted her feet unsteadily. Her hair had been completely drenched by the rain.
Tightening the grip of her hand, she remarked, "No, I have to see him."
With that, she tried to enter the room forcefully but was stopped by Jiang Shu."Ms. Fang, it's not that I don't want to let you in. He really doesn't want to see you. Since that's the case, you can just come back tomorrow."
Once she finished speaking, Jiang Shu turned around and closed the door behind her.
Fang Erlan had a sudden urge to cry as she looked at the lights above her. Her heart fell, and she shouted hysterically, "My Lord!"
The sound of a cup crashing came from inside the room and, following that, the door opened again.
Xiao Chenyang stood at the door before her, stammering, "What... what did you say?"
At this moment, all the doubts in Fang Erlan's heart seemed to have completely vanished.
Although it seemed exceptionally unbelievable to her, she had no choice but to believe it.
"My Lord..."
Xiao Chenyang's nostrils constricted."You..."
Fang Erlan looked at his face and inched closer toward him. With her head raised to look at him, she stood before him and asked, "Why didn't you tell me directly?"
"Get a change of clothes first. You're all wet."
"I didn't bring any clothes with me."
"I have some with me." Xiao Chenyang grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room.
Upon the sight of the situation, Jiang Shu was completely bewildered.
"Wait for me at the door first."
Jiang Shu nodded."Alright."
Xiao Chenyang then pushed Fang Erlan into the bathroom directly and said, "Go and get a warm bath first. I'll prepare some clothes for you. We'll talk when you come out."
Fang Erlan nodded and closed the door of the bathroom shut.
Jiang Shu stood outside the door for a while before seeing him come out.
He took out a piece of check from his wallet and passed it to her."Take it. I'll get someone to send you back to A City."
Jiang Shu glanced at the amount on the check and murmured in shock, "I can't accept such a huge amount."
"It's for you, so just accept it. I know that you're a sensible girl who'll know what to say and what not to say."
Jiang Shu somehow felt that he exuded a formidable aura. She did not dare to look into his eyes directly and simply took the check from him."Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I won't let my mouth slip."
"Alright. Follow me." He turned around and led her away.
Jiang Shu followed behind him and took another glance at the amount on the check: it was two million dollars.
She was only a hostess at the Night Genie Bar and had never sold her body.
Not only had she not allowed her customers to lay their hands on her inappropriately, but she also refused to sit on their laps. As a result, her salary was a meager amount of only a few thousand dollars per month, far from the amount that other hostesses who went all out earned. Although a bar wasn't a place where customers came to find sex, there was inevitably some skinship and hugging between the hostesses and customers.
She had only just accompanied the man before him for such a short time, wherein he brought her to eat delicacies and admire sceneries. Without him laying a finger on her at all, she was able to earn such a huge amount of money.
She was extremely surprised by his generosity.
Such a man, to her, was too unattainable.
She did not know what relationship Fang Erlan had with him, but she knew that there were some things that one could not afford to be curious about.
All she had to do was just play her own part.
After Xiao Chenyang had arranged for his men to send her to A City, and after she got onto the car, he instructed her, "Take this sum of money to do what you want."
Jiang Shu nodded."Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Chenyang did not say anything further and simply turned to walk away.
Jiang Shu closed the door shut and gazed at the back of his tall and handsome figure, a smile curling on her lips.
Meanwhile, Fang Erlan was standing under the showerhead, allowing the warm water to rinse her body. She could still feel a faint, stinging pain from her arm where she had grazed herself earlier.
Outside the bathroom, there remained complete silence.
When she was done bathing, Fang Erlan used the bath towel to wipe herself and slowly headed toward the bathroom door, calling out to him, "Are you there?"
"Open the door, I'll pass you the clothes."
Fang Erlan wrapped the bath towel around her body before opening the door.
He passed her a set of clothes with both his hands, and Fang Erlan took it from him before closing the door shut again.
He had even prepared lingerie for her.
As for the clothes, it was a piece of qipao with flowers embroidered on it.
It was simply stunning.
She tried it on, and although the qipao was rather short, it was fine.
She still looked good in it.
After blowing her hair dry, Fang Erlan went out of the bathroom.
Xiao Chenyang was sitting by the bed, and the fragments of the cup on the ground had already been cleared.
Fang Erlan approached him slowly and sat beside him.
Xiao Chenyang noticed her hand trembling slightly and passed the bowl of ginger tea on the table to her."Drink this."
Fang Erlan took it from him, lowering her head as she drank all of it in one shot.
In a calm and composed manner, he took the empty bowl from her hands and placed it on the table. He then pressed down her shoulders with both hands and pulled her closer to him. As they stared straight at each other, he asked, "You remember everything?"
Fang Erlan shook her head."Just a little..."
Xiao Chenyang asked her again, "Then why did you come and look for me tonight? I want to hear the truth."
Holding back her tears, Fang Erlan asked, "How did you find me?"
