Chapter 49 – I’m going to enjoy myself now
“You missed the time for it.” Qi Mo’s mouth coldly uttered an indifferent remark as he briefly adjusted his position to hold and encircle Li Xin’s whole body.
Li Xin struggled, matching all of her discontents with all of the strength she used. Qi Mo frowned and commanded, “Stop moving around.”, while, at the same time, he tightly trapped Li Xin inside his arms.
Li Xin struggled until her face was streaming with sweat, but her struggle didn’t bear any fruits, on the contrary, it made her feel even more starved. Seeing Qi Mo not moving at all, she couldn’t help but bemoan. How is it that such a Devil King had run into her? Even forbidding her from having a meal. No, Qi Mo is not a Devil King, he is Zhou Bapi. Exploiting the labor force and yet not giving any food to eat, he unquestionably was Zhou Bapi.
—
Feeling muddleheaded, the hunger had woken her up. Li Xin actually could sleep even with her stomach rumbling so much. She had to have some admiration for herself.
Sensing that the spot by her side was already cold, she noticed that the person who was trapping her before has already disappeared. Li Xin immediately turned over to sit up. Looking through the window to the outside, she saw the day was still dark. So early and yet there was not even a trace of Qi Mo’s shadow nearby.
Since meeting Qi Mo, this is the first time that he departs alone and leaves her while she’s sleeping. Sweeping a glance at the bedside, she found a serving tray emitting a sweet aroma of food. Li Xin was amazed, what the h.e.l.l is this?
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Xin had just walked through the door of her room when Jiao Wen come up to her while wearing a good-for-nothing smile across his face.
For Li Xin to see so early in the morning such an eye candy of pretty boy coming towards her, although she is not a flirty woman, she nevertheless is relatively fond of beautiful things. Nodding her head, she said, “Don’t tell me you don’t
know about it, hm?”
Jiao Wen laughed softly and, facing Li Xing, made a requesting gesture for her, saying, “Breakfast has already been prepared. Please come, beautiful Lady.”
“My name is Li Xin.”
With regards to things like addressing her as beautiful Lady, Li Xin has absolutely no interest in it. Jiao Wen saw Li Xin directly walk towards the dining hall and not even bother to respond to him. He couldn’t help but to faintly smile. It’s hard to come by someone who faces his looks and couldn’t care less about it.
“Where have Overlord Qi and the others gone to?”
Looking at the nouris.h.i.+ng bird’s nest in front of her, Li Xin asked Jiao Wen with a half-darkened face and one raised brow.
Jiao Wen laughed and said, “You were on the scene yesterday.” Is it possible that what they had discussed wasn’t clear enough?
Jiao Wen’s answer came as no surprise for her. She knew that Qi Mo had already left and has definitely gone to search for the batch of firearms that was stealthily subst.i.tuted. But contrary to her expectation, he didn’t take her along. This point was rather strange.
“Feiyusi is not such a simple character. This affair is a dangerous one. You only would get hurt soon after getting involved, so you had better stay here. Li Xin, during these few days I will be your particular escort. If you want to go somewhere, do not hesitate to speak up.”
Li Xin saw that Jiao Wen’s whole face was smiling. Quite a while pa.s.sed until she faintly nodded and said, “Your meaning is that during these few days Qi Mo won’t be present? I won’t need to follow him all over the place?”
Jiao Wen saw that Li Xin was dead serious. A shooting smile flashed through his face as he said, “Of course. In these few days, you will be on your own.”
“Good. I want to increase my knowledge and give the Dark Prison a visit.” Li Xin told him her intention.
Jiao Wen heard what was said and immediately looked at Li Xin as he felt considerably astonished, “For what reason will you go to the Dark Prison? What kind of things can possibly exist in there that
that will broaden your knowledge?” This Dark Prison is, in reality, his Mafia’s underground concentration camp.
“You only need to tell me, and I will go there. Is it not?” Li Xin looked at Jiao Wen with one raised brow. Qi Mo is holding her weakness, so the only thing she can do is listen and obey everything he says. But for other people, she does not need to give them much face.
“I won’t.”
Jiao Wen promptly smiled as he briefly replied. The concentration camp in Africa, without a good reason, why would he run back to that place? Let alone now that he has important work that needs to be done.
Li Xin lifted her brows and nodded her head, “Ok. Are there more places prohibited from going? Speak it clearly for me.”
Jiao Wen was surprised to see Li Xin being so direct and smiled with his whole face, “There isn’t. You can go wherever you want.”
“Good. Take me to the car. I want to take a stroll.”
“You haven’t touched your breakfast yet? I can remember last night at midnight someone still ordering the kitchen to cook food.” An ambiguous look covered Jiao Wen’s face when he looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin quickly glanced at him. This person in front of her, she really can’t figure out from which direction he’s an honorable family’s head. He’s actually a meddlesome old lady. Even Qi Mo is better. Talking less and seldom being so long-winded is much better. Standing her body up, she said, “You’re not Qi Mo, so it’s none of your business.” Walking out at the same time she finished those words.
Ferrari, a brand that Li Xin is very fond. Its speed is fast enough and driving one it’s remarkably eye-catching. Seeing Jiao Wen porting a smile across his face as he occupied the driver’s seat of the silvery and roofless sports car, Li Xin immediately opened the car’s door, twisting Jiao Wen and squeezing him until he was hurled to the pa.s.senger seat at the side. Ignoring his demands for explanations, she instantly took the driver’s seat and stepped on the gas. The Ferrari seemed just like the fluttering wind as it speeded up.
“Pretty good skills.”
Jiao Wen
skills.”
Jiao Wen blew a whistle when he saw that the Ferrari’s speed ascended to 200km/h(≅125 mph). Her hair fluttered in the air as her demeanor was so natural and unrestrained, making Jiao Wen gasp in admiration when he looked at Li Xin.
“Is it?”
Li Xin pressed at the throttle, accelerating once again to catch up the high speed of the rus.h.i.+ng cars. Suddenly, a sharp noise was heard behind them. Early in the morning, the group of flying cars driving at lightning speed on the highway had it’s interested aroused. One by one, they chased after Li Xin, all striving for the first place*.
“Wanting to compete with me, humph.”
Li Xin slammed the throttle to its end. The highway suddenly staged a never seen marvelous contest of driving vehicles. Driving amongst all those vehicles, Li Xin let out a scream. She was like a swimming fish, alternating in the middle of the ongoing cars, weaving her way in with a quick-witted control. Just like a sharp sword winding and then departing, she left in her wake a mix of screaming voices and cursing shouts.
Looking behind at the group of cars that were chasing her, they all got tossed away in the distance. Li Xin’s fist pushed towards the horn, making one long sound be released.
Loudly roaring, she said: “Delightful.”
She’s been constrained by Qi Mo for a long time, and just now, she could let it all out for a while. Li Xin suddenly feels that the sky was vast and the earth was wide, everything was perfect.**
“Beautiful. Truly beautiful.”
Jiao Wen was all along sitting inside the car and enjoying it just as much as Li Xin. Both of his eyes s.h.i.+ned as he looked at Li Xin and his mouth sung praises. This car really operates beautifully.
“You flatter me.”
Slamming on the brakes and turning at the next curve, the high speed was relinquished as they entered the urban area. Jiao Wen notices that Li Xin is not even a bit hesitant, and had to raise his brows, saying, “It seems you do not need my guidance, you are as familiar as I am.”
“It’s only natural.”
She has lived here for more than ten years, even if a good part was good part was spent in her professional practice, the remaining time was more than enough for her to get acquaintance with this city.
Taking a few turns, she pulled the vehicle to the side and parked. Her familiarity looked like she was in front of her own house’s door. Jiao Wen saw this and didn’t have much to say. He just broadly smiled as he followed behind Li Xin.
At a street stall with its cheap goods laid out on the ground, she selected a human skeleton type of s.h.i.+rt worth five euros. It showed a dark and dense human skull with a fierce countenance, looking both terrifying and grotesque. For the lower body, she picked a six euros golden red jeans filled with metal accessories hanging down on its surface, producing a rustling sound every time she walked around. For the final touch, she matched a pair of worn-out shoes that exposed her toes at the cost of two euros. Li Xin’s full attire would cause anyone to be dazzled.
Jiao Wen saw right before his eyes such a significant change in Li Xin’s appearance and couldn’t help but laugh, not succeeding at stopping at all. Looking at his own body wearing a famous brand from head to toe, he was dressed exactly like a yuppie. Li Xin’s body combination from the big sale completely represses the visual enjoyment that the famous brand can bring out.
Now you can understand the t.i.tle of this chapter right? ^^
Li Xin is described as 潇洒 when she was driving the car (“natural and unrestrained”).
* In the novel is written “争先恐后.” This is an idiom that means “strive to be the first and fear being left behind.” Meaning, “outdoing one another” or “vie to be first” or “rival for the top spot”.
** “璃心顿时觉得天也大了,地也宽了,一切都完美了” – Means that the person (Li Xin) becomes enlightened. It is used to refer to a person who got through a hard time and, after resolving the problem(s), will feel that the world is wonderful and everything is brighter.
I have no idea what Li Xin is planning or where she’ll go while dressed like that. The cost of the clothes she bought was written in renminbi, so I changed to euros. (s.h.i.+rt=32rmb, jeans=50rmb, shoes=18rmb)
