Chapter 461: Set a Condition

“Zhang Kun!” Ye Shiqing’s face turned pale with urgency, her wrist whitening where it was pinched.

Zhang Kun gave her a glance, a roguish smile hanging on his lips.

Suddenly, he reached out to touch Ye Shiqing’s face, “You’re quite pretty, a dancer, right?

Your body’s definitely flexible.

How about this, let’s make a deal.

It will be good for you to explain to your grandma once you go back.”

“Shut your mouth!”

Ye Shiqing, using all her strength, managed to pull away.

Or perhaps Zhang Kun had let go on purpose.

As she turned to leave, Zhang Kun did not follow.

Instead, in a teasing tone, he drawled, “You’re quite something.

Isn’t it just a broken association?

Won’t Shen Shichu help you smooth things out?”

Ye Shiqing’s expression turned stern.

She whirled around, her face a tumult of emotions, and looked at Zhang Kun warily and frantically.

Just moments ago in the private room, he clearly had no idea whom she had married.

Obviously, during the time she had gone out to chase Nan Jiaojiao, Zhang Kun had done some digging.

How much did he find out?

Could he possibly spill it to Shen Shichu?

“What do you want?”

Zhang Kun, in no rush, lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall.

He had a fine build; his collar was disheveled, exposing his chest muscles subtly beneath the undone buttons.

His pale skin was only a shade darker than his face, and while his features were rugged, they didn’t seem out of place.

Unfortunately, his eyes, which had an unusual white beneath the iris, always seemed to carry ill intent when he looked at someone.

“Let’s talk inside.

If you want me to help you or the Ye Family behind you, we should at least sit down and have a calm discussion, right?”

At this moment, Ye Shiqing was far from caring about whether she could enter the association or not; she just wanted to escape.

But Zhang Kun had such a bad reputation, with no moral bottom line, it was hard to ensure he wouldn’t exaggerate the night’s events to Shen Shichu.

Even though Shen Shichu had been unfaithful, wronging her, Ye Shiqing’s own private life before marriage had been equally unscrupulous, not just catching a lover in bed.

With so many years of affection, she could bear it.

She even thought about reconciling with Shen Shichu.

So how could she tolerate being ruined by a suddenly emerging rotten apple?

“Just to accompany you for a drink?”

Zhang Kun looked up, the corner of his mouth quirking slightly, “Even I, no matter how debauched, understand that a twisted melon isn’t sweet.

Besides, who do you think I am?

There’s no shortage of women throwing themselves at me, so there’s no need for me to force myself on you.”

Ye Shiqing wavered internally.

Zhang Kun added another potent piece of bait with nonchalance: “How about this, whether it works out or not, I’ll take care of the issue with your entry into the Classical Dance Association.”

Ye Shiqing felt a tight line inside her snap suddenly.

Her hand clenched and then relaxed, before tensing again; she wrestled with herself, weighing her options, and in the end, compromised.

“Fine, I’ll have a drink with you.

I hope Young Master Zhang keeps his promise not to force me or engage in any petty backbiting.”

Zhang Kun nodded, “Deal.”

Ye Shiqing took a deep breath and walked a few steps before realizing she couldn’t let it out.

Approaching the entrance to the private room, she suddenly got cold feet and turned to run.

But Zhang Kun was right behind her, maintaining a close but not too close distance of two steps.

The corridor was narrow, and as he moved to the center, she found it impossible to slip past him on either side.

Zhang Kun tugged at his collar, his Adam’s apple moving restlessly, exhaling a puff of white smoke.

Ye Shiqing smelled something strange in the smoke.

Feeling a bit dizzy, her limbs started to weaken.

“You!”

She looked at him in astonishment, her eyes wide.

Without using much strength, Zhang Kun pressed on her shoulders and easily pushed her into the private room.

The door closed, blocking out the sound effectively.

This was his territory, and nobody who valued their eyes would dare to interfere.
