Chapter 3 Just Sell Art, Not Body!

Xu Lang looked at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a layer of black gauze, and beneath it, black shorts and a wrap-around chest piece. Her long, straight legs were exposed, and either the size of the wrap-around piece was too small or the girl's bust was too full, because it barely covered the essential parts.

Her fair skin was suggestive under the sheer gauze, making even Xu Lang, who was used to grand scenes, feel a warmth at the bridge of his nose.

He rubbed his nose and took a few deep breaths. "Niannian, it's your turn to go on stage. Try to make some sexy moves to the music," he said.

Shi Niannian nodded and followed Xu Lang to the side of the stage.

The emcee on stage was energetically warming up the crowd. "Next, let's welcome our Miss Jessica to bring us a hot dance performance."

Jessica was the fake name Shi Niannian had given.

Shi Niannian walked onto the stage, and the men gathered around it got excited, whistling blowing up all around.

As the music started, Shi Niannian began to move her body. She majored in Chinese dance, but she also learned some jazz dance moves from the internet to dance along with.

Her movements were attractive and sensual, heating up the blood of the men below the stage, who were frantically cheering for her.

Sitting in the private room of Night Charm Night Club, Ling Yichen watched the bewitchingly dancing woman on the big screen, the red birthmark on his chest appearing and disappearing with the woman's movements.

He took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled, narrowed his eyes, and thought about the ultimate sensation from the previous night, which made him feel an itch to move.

She acted as if nothing had happened, but he couldn't let it go. Whether she was playing hard to get or not, he was more than happy to play the game with her.

Thinking this, Ling Yichen beckoned to the attendant standing by his side, whispered a few words, and the attendant left the private room.

Shi Niannian came down from the stage with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and Xu Lang was already waiting below, "Niannian, a customer wants to see you!"

"Can I not go?" she asked.

Xu Lang shook his head with difficulty. "We can't afford to offend this one, you..."

Shi Niannian didn't want Xu Lang to be put in a difficult position. "I'll change my clothes and go!"

"There's no time," Xu Lang said, pointing to a spot not far away where two black-suited bodyguards were waiting for her.

Shi Niannian clenched her teeth and followed the two bodyguards up to the top-floor private room door.

The bodyguard knocked on the door and opened it. "Boss, she's here!"

Ling Yichen put out the cigarette in his hand. "Let her in, and the rest of you, get out."

Shi Niannian walked into the private room, saw the man on the sofa, and her heart tightened. She immediately lowered her gaze to the floor.

"What's your name?" Ling Yichen asked with a hint of amusement.

Shi Niannian lowered her voice. "Jessica."

"Jessica? You danced well," Ling Yichen patted the spot next to him. "Come sit."

Shi Niannian struggled internally, but her feet didn't move.

Ling Yichen lifted his eyelids, his face showing impatience. "Didn't you hear me?"

Hearing the displeasure in his tone, Shi Niannian walked over and sat down half a meter away from Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen let out a derisive laugh. They'd already slept together, and now she was putting on airs of modesty.

He reached out and grabbed Shi Niannian's arm, pulling her into his embrace, and one hand lifted the black gauze to touch her waist.

Shi Niannian let out a gasp and tried to push Ling Yichen away, but he pressed her down on the sofa. He grabbed both of her wrists with one hand and held them above her head as he leaned down to kiss her lips.

Her mouth was sweet indeed; he had missed out last time. Ling Yichen used his tongue to pry open Shi Niannian's teeth, madly plundering the nectar inside her mouth.

Shi Niannian's eyes widened. How could he do this! The sound of her refusals came out from her nose as moans.

Ling Yichen was no longer satisfied with just kissing; one hand had already made its way inside Shi Niannian's wrap-around chest piece.

Shi Niannian was terrified. She was afraid of being violated by Ling Yichen right there, and just as she thought about biting his tongue, Ling Yichen released her mouth.

"Let me go!" Shi Niannian struggled beneath Ling Yichen.

"Move again and I'll take you here!" Ling Yichen warned.

Shi Niannian felt something too, so she dared not move, "Take your hand away!"

The hand under her bust didn't move away—it squeezed even harder. Ling Yichen's lips curved into a smirk, "Are you dancing here because you're short of money? How about following me, I'll give you one million a month, how does that sound?"

One million? Accompanying him for a month would earn her all of her expenses for the past fifteen years; it sounded very tempting, but she didn't dare.

Shi Niannian just wanted to get away from him; otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.

She bit her lower lip, "I sell art, not my body!"

Ling Yichen seemed to hear a joke, "Not selling your body? Are you still a virgin?"

This question made Shi Niannian want to rub Ling Yichen on the ground, but unfortunately, she didn't have the strength for it. Angrily, she said, "No!"

Unfortunately, Ling Yichen wasn't willing to let go of the topic and continued to ask, "Who did you give your first time to? Huh?"

Shi Niannian looked up at Ling Yichen. She wasn't sure if he recognized her, but recalling that she couldn't even recognize her current self, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "It was taken by a jerk."

"Jerk?" Ling Yichen didn't expect to be considered a jerk in her eyes. His smile was not quite reaching his eyes, "I thought you were eager to offer it to someone!"

"I am not that cheap!" Shi Niannian closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Ling Yichen let go of Shi Niannian's wrists and even considerately fixed her wrap.

Shi Niannian stood up intending to leave, but Ling Yichen grabbed her hand, "Did I say you could leave?"

Ling Yichen shouted toward the outside, "Come in!"

A bodyguard pushed the door open, "Boss, Young Master Shi is here!"

Ling Yichen gestured for them to enter.

Young Master Shi! Shi Xinghe had arrived, and Shi Niannian started to get nervous; she couldn't let Shi Xinghe know she was here.

Shi Xinghe was stricter with her than even Mr. Shi and Mother Shi were.

Ling Yichen glanced at Shi Niannian, took out all the cash in his wallet, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the waistband of her tight shorts, "Here's your tip."

He took out a business card and placed it in her wrap, "If you change your mind, you can find me anytime!"

Ling Yichen patted Shi Niannian's butt, "Go on!"

Shi Niannian actually felt somewhat grateful to Ling Yichen for letting her leave. She hurried to the door, which was then pushed open from the outside.

Shi Xinghe, in a suit, walked in, showing a hint of surprise when he saw Shi Niannian.

Shi Niannian bowed her head and moved her body to the side, making way for Shi Xinghe to enter first.

Shi Xinghe stopped next to her, his eyes looking down and staring at her for a long time.

"Xinghe, are you interested in this girl? Do you want to keep her here to accompany you?" Ling Yichen asked teasingly.

"No need," Shi Xinghe said indifferently.

Shi Niannian visibly sighed in relief, bowed slightly to Shi Xinghe, and then turned around intending to leave.

"Wait!" Shi Xinghe called out to Shi Niannian.
