Sleeping in the doghouse

Despite the heavy music, the woman's screams echoed across the corridor and even reached the dance floor below, earning her curious looks and stares from the men and women in the club. It wasn't long before they followed her around as Guan Ting struggled to take her away, what with her barely-covered naked body. Until finally, he dropped her off on a slump at the middle of the dance floor, where she was the object of men's leering looks and advances.

"No, don't look at me!" She tried to cover her breasts, but some perverted men started pulling her arms away for a better view of her body.

"Don't you dare touch me!"

"Help! Lulu, anyone, help!"

Not even the bouncers nor the hostess could help her, especially with Guan Ting imposingly standing by the bar, watching the disgraceful scene unfold. He'd only done such a thing because the young madame had implied it. And right now, he wouldn't benefit by going against her wishes -- not with Fei Huangjin so p*ssy-whipped that he even had the audacity to grant her full authority over the Dragon Club.

Tsk. He shook his head in exasperation.

"Ying Yue…" Fei Huangjin stepped forward, getting excited over the fact that his wife was here, in the flesh, and that she was staking a claim on him. Even with the colorful lights of the club, the barely-there makeup she had on, and the rather formal work-wear she was sporting, she looked beautiful and extremely angelic. However, the way her eyes sharply turned and narrowed at him betrayed a hint of madness and furiousness underneath. "Ying Yue, should we go home? You look tired."

She ignored him and glanced at Xiao Yifeng, who waved at her with a sheepish look, and then at Zhang Zihan, who grinned at her broadly. "Hey, Mrs. Fei!" He teased.

Instead of replying to them, she turned around and walked away from the private booth. So what if they were the three richest and most influential men in the city? She was too mad at them -- especially at Fei Huangjin! How dare he come here and have some woman lay her hands on him. Even if he did nothing but ignore that shameless woman, he still passively allowed her to do as she pleased. The sight of that fox's hand squeezing his thigh had made her blood boil, and he had merely told the woman off without even pushing her away.

Damn it!

Fei Huangjin frowned, a bit alarmed as he watched her retreating back. Was she just going to leave and ignore him?

Zhang Zihan whistled, pulling the women on either side of him closer. "You look like you'd be sleeping in the dog house tonight, my friend."

"Shut up. This is your fault."

"My fault?" Zhang Zihan guffawed. "Hey, I didn't assign her to you! That chick acted on her own, and it's not my fault if you didn't tell your wife you'd be coming to a club."

An ugly look crossed Fei Huangjin's face as he stood there, listening to Zihan's amused remarks. He couldn't deny that he refrained from telling Ying Yue about coming to VX with them. He had thought that it would be better that she didn't know.

Xiao Yifeng took pity on the man and sat back with a sigh. "Huangjin, go after your wife."

"Mmm."

His steps were hurried as he looked for Ying Yue's figure among the throngs of people in the club. The crowd was getting rowdy as the night deepened, even more so because of the barely-naked woman stuck on the dance floor.

Where was Ying Yue? F*ck! He should've run after her sooner.

Ying Yue tapped Guan Ting on the shoulder and he turned to see her sporting an expressionless face, unreadable and impenetrating. "Yeah? I mean yes, young madame?" It would do him well to be more polite to her from here on. When he saw how quick she was with a knife earlier, and how she dealt with the woman on Fei Huangjin, it drew him back to the unpleasant memory of having a can of mushrooms thrown at him and he couldn't help but shudder at the thought that his tiny little woman was scarier than he thought.

In fact, because she was unpredictable -- sweet one moment and wild on the next -- he felt that she was even more dangerous than Fei Huangjin. He was skeptical at first, but now he understood why Juyan was left to her.

"Let's go. We're not waiting for Fei Huangjin."
