Chapter 16: Old Friends

I didn't expect that the person who knew me best would be my enemy.

She was indeed a little mentally disturbed, but she recovered later.

I thought I could deceive him by playing crazy. I really wish I could be more vulnerable and actually go crazy.

"Now that you're well, you can do what you like."

He let go of her face and reached out to pull open the sleeves of her arms, frowning at the old scars on her body, "It still has scars."

His behavior made Cen Xia feel a little uncomfortable. She knew that Chi Jinyan was not so kind as to care about her.

Chi Jinyan glanced outside , " Rong Heng, ask Mo Ran to come ... and give her the things."

He didn't want that woman to get close to Cen Xia, but he also didn't want the servants to see Cen Xia's miserable appearance.

"Yes, Master."

Rong Heng quickly glanced at Cen Xia, who looked haggard and pale. Although he felt regretful, he could do nothing about it.

Cen Xia didn't know what he was going to do next.

The fear of the unknown runs through my whole body, and every inch of my skin is trembling.

Chi Jinyan was very satisfied with his performance every time he gave her a "surprise".

This made him feel good and his lips curled up slightly.

If Cen Xia had not been tortured to the point of collapse by him, she might have been bewitched by the man's smile.

"Ms. Cen, I have prepared a gift for you." He said, clapping his hands.

Rong Heng walked into the house, holding a tray.

It looks like there are clothes or something like that on it.

Chi Jinyan moved closer to her face, still smiling, but his eyes gradually became colder.

"Ms. Cen, there is an important guest tonight ... I heard that he really wants to hear your performance. You'd better behave yourself."

After admiring her helpless face, he walked away.

Cen Xia knew that her nightmare had come again. These hands should have been showing off their grace on the stage, but now they had been reduced to entertaining nightclubs.

He looked at the chains on his feet and sneered helplessly.

I am no different from the dog tied in the backyard.

How could she dare to resist when she was punished like this for just playing a prank on his lover?

The night was shrouded in darkness, and the inky sky made it impossible to tell whether it would be sunny or rainy. However, Cen Xia felt as if dark clouds were pressing down on her head, and the cold wind was chilling her to the core.

Cen Xia appeared in the Star Nest wearing a coat and wrapped tightly.

Mo Ran applied a thick layer of foundation on her body to cover the scars on her body, making her look flawless.

Under the white lace mask, only the tightly pursed bright red lips were revealed.

She followed Chi Jinyan into the dimly lit corridor, and the guests who were familiar with them all stopped to admire them.

She was fantasizing about the indescribable beauty under the coat, and she no longer cared about being stared at naked.

This time, Chi Jinyan took her to a box deep in the corridor.

Before entering the house, he stared at her with cold eyes.

"Inside the house, waiting to be called at any time."

Then he pushed open the door of the compartment coldly.

Cen Xia looked at the man's back, eyes full of hatred.

Hug your body tightly and slowly squat on the ground.

She hated herself for having fallen to this level.

Rong Heng pushed the door open and called out , " Miss Cen ... " Hesitantly, he kindly reminded her , " Miss Cen, you may know the person inside. Be careful and don't reveal any flaws."

Cen Xia was stunned and realized what tricks that devilish man would play.

But ... but even so, I can't panic.

Rong Heng handed her a pill, "It's the tranquilizer you took."

She didn't dare to accept anything Chi Jinyan gave her, especially in this situation.

She shook her head and refused to take it. Rong Heng knew her concerns and did not force her.

My fingers were shaking uncontrollably.

It took a long time to unbutton his clothes.

Cen Xia knew that there was an endless abyss behind that door.

But she still wanted to go in.

Otherwise, your parents, friends, and everything related to you will be implicated.

How she wished she had really gone insane and never woke up.

Chi Jinyan narrowed his eyes and stared at the door. His princess was about to put on a good show for him.

The moment the door opened, Cen Xia's eyes were fixed on the person sitting on the sofa.

That familiar face stared at him in disbelief.

But she didn't dare take a step forward.

The tears in her eyes fell without her noticing. Rong Heng's voice came from behind her, reminding her, "Don't show any flaws."

She calmed down, took difficult steps, and walked over tremblingly.

Chi Jinyan saw the tears in her eyes and knew that she recognized this person.

She was wearing a black dress, which was a bit short, which made him feel uncomfortable, but the pleasure of upcoming revenge suppressed his discomfort.

He stared at her face closely but was talking to the person next to him.

"Mr. Lin, this is the most mysterious princess of this Star Nest that I just told you about ... the Black Rose who is very good at playing the piano. She only entertains high-level guests."

Chi Jinyan stared at the person in front of him carefully, unwilling to miss any emotional changes on her face.

She didn't show any reaction.

Turning around and smiling, he looked at Mr. Lin, "She represents mystery, nobility and purity."

How could Cen Xia not hear the sarcasm in Chi Jinyan's words?

But I could only listen quietly as they judged me like a commodity.

"oh?"

The man smiled, and with a relaxed look on his face, he changed his posture and turned towards Cen Xia, "As far as I know, it means love, loyalty and protection. It means being willing to give everything for love, and being steadfast even if the road ahead is bumpy."

He interpreted it deeply, and finally looked at Chi Jinyan.

The darkness in Chi Jinyan's eyes flashed, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so romantic."

The man had a faint smile on his face, and there was a ripple in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash, but he did not answer.

He smiled awkwardly and turned to introduce Cen Xia , " This is Lin Lang, Mr. Lin, my partner who just came back from Country M. He is also very knowledgeable about music. You two should be able to chat well. You have to serve him well as you would treat me. Do you understand?"

He deliberately emphasized the last syllable and looked at Cen Xia playfully.

The ironic arrangement was disgusting. Cen Xia's hands were almost bleeding from being squeezed out of astonishment. Thinking about Rong Heng's words, she still didn't say anything.

"I just told Mr. Lin that he looks very similar to an old friend of mine, but he said he has never been to Qingcheng. I want you to come and confirm it as well."

He looked at Cen Xia and asked her , " Does Mr. Lin look like him?"

Cen Xia pinched Lin Lang's wrist and gently took off the red string and hid it in her palm. She looked directly at Lin Lang, smiled, and pretended to be relaxed . " Not like that."

Only her pale fingertips revealed her emotions, but fortunately they were concealed by the colorful lights.

"Mr. Lin, please enjoy your distinguished treatment. She can satisfy any request you have. This is my gift to you."

Lin Lang understood and nodded in response with a smile.

Chi Jinyan stood up and walked towards the door.

When passing by him, Cen Xia heard his warning, "Your performance determines the fate of your parents."

She stood there blankly for a long time, but her stiff body still couldn't move an inch and she couldn't stop shaking.

She knew Chi Jinyan didn't want her to talk too much, but she couldn't just play along like she did with other guests. This face ...

Lin Lang looked at the woman in front of him with increasingly passionate eyes. He stood up and walked towards her. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, whispering softly,

"Black rose? Actually, it has another meaning."

Cen Xia closed her eyes and could only grit her teeth to accept Chi Jinyan's arrangement.

The door was not closed. Chi Jinyan stood at the door and saw that the two of them were talking about something, but they were not overly intimate.

Cen Xia stood up and walked to the small piano in the corner. The piano was out of place here. It was specially made for her by Chi Jinyan, just to disgust her.

Of course she had never played it before because no customer had such a request. This person was the first one.

The men listened to the beautiful music in their ears with great enjoyment.

Chi Jinyan felt a little regretful and wondered what might have happened if that person was not him. He stretched out his hand to open the door to stop it.

But when he thought of Xiao Xia's miserable appearance, his eyes immediately became fierce and he turned and went to the next private room.
