The restroom was devoid of anyone else except for him and Xia Liyou, who had just come out.
With an emotionless face and calm eyes, Xia Liyou walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.
The arrogant woman in black sneered, a spark in her eyes, "Huh, so even a little tart like you needs to use the restroom, quite a coincidence."
Upon hearing her coarse words, Xia Liyou couldn't help but frown, shooting her a sidelong glare and coldly retorted, "Show some respect. If you don't know what respect is, go back and learn it in the primary school before stepping into society."
Xia Liyou was never one to be trifled with; her restraint wasn't an indicator of her subservience.
The stubbornness in her bones would not allow anyone to trample on her self-respect easily.
Even though her dignity had already been drastically trampled upon by him, it remained confined to his presence only.
Were it anyone else, Xia Liyou would not resort to passive defense.
The woman in black appeared somewhat incredulous that Xia Liyou had dared to retort and her fierce gaze, coupled with the aura she was exuding, staggered her.
But, whatever the love or hate she felt, she steadied herself, not wanting to lose face in front of this woman.
"Humph, even if I'm unlearned, I'm still better than a cheap woman like you who only knows how to seduce men. Don't think that just because you're pretty, everyone will fawn over you. Now that you have a man, you shouldn't be flirting around anymore. It's disgraceful." Sneered the woman in black, her face filled with scorn as she evaluated Xia Liyou.
This woman was the type to pervert the truth, but not in the way Xia Liyou was implying.
Xia Liyou turned off the faucet, calmly pulled out a paper towel from the dispenser, and dried her hands, "Of course, I'm not as good as you, I wouldn't deliberately throw myself at someone who clearly shows disinterest in me and insist on sitting in their lap."
You can't deal with people like her in normal ways.
If she intended to provoke Xia Liyou, the latter would certainly not fall into her trap.
Xia Liyou, with a calm face, mocked the actions of the woman in black causing the latter's face to turn red with rage.
About to leave, Xia Liyou tossed the used paper towel into the trash bin, but the woman in black wasn't about to let her off so easily.
She turned the faucet on full force, blocked one side with her hand, causing the stream of water to change direction and drench Xia Liyou.
Caught off guard, Xia Liyou was soaked; her hair, face and dress were all drenched.
But this wasn't enough for the woman in black, seeing Xia Liyou in such a state, she broke into hysterical laughter.
Regaining her composure, Xia Liyou's eyes hardened, forgetting her wet clothes, she slapped the woman in black hard across her face, twice.
The woman in black was stunned and stood still, staring at Xia Liyou in shock.
"Like playing with water so much? Well, enjoy!" Xia Liyou grabbed the woman's hair and shoved her head into the sink, then turned the faucet letting the water wash over her.
The woman struggled wildly, her hands flailing in mid-air, trying desperately to escape.
But to no avail.
The women who came to the restroom were taken aback at the sight and remained at the door, unsure whether to enter or leave.
Seeing that the woman had turned into a drowned rat, wetter than herself, Xia Liyou finally felt satisfied. She nonchalantly tossed the paper towel in the trash bin after wiping her face and exited the restroom.
When Xia Liyou reappeared in front of Wei Xuefeng, he was taken aback.
After staring at her for a while, he finally managed to ask with a croak, "Did you fall into the toilet just now?"
Lacking the mood to respond to his humor, Xia Liyou simply said, "Let's go."
She then headed straight for the elevator.
Any more delay and something else might erupt which would be rather unfortunate.
Given Xia Liyou's cold demeanor, fearing rejection, Wei Xuefeng refrained from asking further and instead offered her his handkerchief to dry her hair.
Unexpectedly, this playboy carried a simple, white, pure cotton handkerchief, which was rather surprising to Xia Liyou.
She thought no one carried such things anymore.
A faint smile flashed across her eyes but disappeared as quickly as it came, leaving her face as calm as ever, like a placid sea.
Often times, the calmer the surface, the more violent the undercurrent hidden beneath.
However, Xia Liyou's fierceness had already been nearly vanquished by Ou Chengtian's relentless grind.
As they stepped out of the Imperial City Hotel, they spotted a handsome man leaning against a car from afar.
He was elegant and charismatic, with his every move exuding an air of nobility and grace.
Upon seeing him, Xia Liyou immediately lowered her head, nonchalantly hid behind Wei Xuefeng like a child who had gotten into trouble.
Wei Xuefeng was perplexed. This high and mighty woman, who seemed invincible just now, suddenly transformed into a scared kitten, hiding behind him.
Smiling, he glanced at Ou Chengtian, who was slowly making his way towards them, and all became clear.
"Mr. Ou, as promised, I brought her out to you. Now, don't forget what you promised me."
Ou Chengtian didn't look at him, but instead, his intense gaze was fixed on the woman hiding behind Wei Xuefeng.
Her wet curls draped on her body and under the lights, her white dress was translucent, revealing her perfect figure.
Seeing her like this, he wished he could take her right here and now.
However, he wanted to be the sole spectator of such a sight.
He was stingy and unwilling to share her beauty with any other man, even if they are just looking.
