Banquet

After her workday, Lin Qing pampered herself at a beauty center, enjoying a massage, facial, and got a stunning silver nail art that matches her dress she will be wearing for the evening .

Returning home, she found her stylist already there, she got a simple sleak bun that models usually goes for and her make up was smokey eye and a natural lip gloss that gave her a mysterious and dangerous appeal .

She put on the gorgeous new long silver Ralph Lauren dress that has a halter neck and a back cleavage.

For jewellery she choosed to wear a white gold back jewelry that will highlight the back detail of the dress and picked simple saphire earrings.

She hold her limited edition cobalt blue Versace handbag.

Her brother, Lin Quan, matched her elegance in a silver gray suit with a striking cobalt blue tie.

Enterance of the hotel felt like stepping onto the red carpet at the Oscars,photographers and reporters were waiting to capture their every move of the guest, there were several body guards and the classic red carpet.

This high-key style was completely different than Lin sibling's style , the pair usually stay away from media.

The lobby exuded luxury with its marble floors, soaring crystal chandeliers, and walls adorned with esteemed art. The atmosphere hinted at opulence and elegance.

As Lin Qing and her brother settled at their designated, she scanned the room but she couldn't see any hint of Liu Jun and Qian An.

The food waitstaff offered guests were sensory feast, with Michelin-starred chefs crafting exquisite dishes, from succulent lobster bisque to perfectly cooked Wagyu beef, each a masterpiece in its own right. The waitstaff moved with effortless grace, serving each course with precision and care.

The hotel's underlying motto seemed to be that "money could buy happiness - at least for one night." "What to except the hotel owned by the male lead, the son of destiny" Lin Qing thought.

"Appreciating beauty has to wait." Lin Qing mumbled.

"What did you say?" Lin Quang asked.

"I want to check around to meet a friend."

Lin Qing replied to her brother.

"Be careful, don't get too far, id anything give me a call"

She nodded her brother and left her seat while scanning her surroundings.

She came here for a mission , to save Qian An and prevent her falling for a scheme and also stop her falling in love with the most dangerous guy in this world so she won't fall into abyss.

"Anna, you better appreciate my hardwork!" Lin Qing mumbled to herself.

"System" Lin Qing summoned.

"Are you going to ask me where Qian An is?"

System replied unhappily.

"Good that you know what you'll do,so where is she, I am not late , right?"

System scoffed.

"Hey," Lin Qing whispered to herself internally.

"She's in the ladies' room on the second floor," the System informed her.

Ascending the stairs, Lin Qing remained alert to her environment. Upon finding Qian An, she looked to be in a state of disarray, her expression dazed as if under the influence of a drug.

"Anna!" Lin Qing called out to her.

"Fatty Qing? Is that really you?" Qian An responded, her voice laced with confusion.

"Do you really think there's anyone else as gorgeous as me?

Of course, it's me!

Ah, What's going on with you? You look like you've been hit by a train," Lin Qing prodded, disguising her awareness of the situation with curiosity.

"I.... I'm fi-iiii-ne, just leave me alo-ooone," Qian An dismissed, her words defensive and slurred.

Lin Qing chuckled softly. "What happened to you?"

"Hmphh, Why do you care?" Qian An shot back, her speech blurred and her anger apparent.

Noticing Qian An's eyes rolling back and her labored breathing, Lin Qing pressed, "Have you taken drugs?"

"Get lost, Fatty Qing! Why won't you just leave me alone?" Qian An spat out venomously.

Realizing she couldn't physically persuade Qian An, Lin Qing reached out to the System. "Can you text my brother from my phone? Write:

'Brother emergency, please hurry up to the second floor lady's room'

Ahhh and if he's not checking his phone, call him repeatedly."

The System responded with a reluctant grunt, "Fine, whatever."

"Quickly," Lin Qing urged.

"Why won't you go away?" Qian An demanded weakly.

"This isn't your hotel. Why should it matter to you where I am?" Lin Qing retorted, standing her ground.

Tears streamed down Qian An's face as she sobbed, her voice filled with anguish.

"Why does every bad thing always happen to me?

Why can't anything good come my way?

Why does it feel like the world is against me?"

She turned to Lin Qing, her eyes pleading.

"What did I do to deserve this, tell me Lin Qing Am I cursed?"

Lin Qing patted Qian An's back, "You're not cursed , you're just out of ammo and it makes you weak, world always turn its back against the weak , Anna"

Qian An sobbed and nodded, her body was almost paralysed, she staggered.

Lin Qing scooped her up.

"Fatty Qing , you're really strong,so handsome!!"

Anna started to laugh to herself.

"Calling me fatty , look at yourself, you're way more heavy"

Lin Qing said to her but didn't dropped her, Qian An was hugging Lin Qing like an octopus.

Lin Quang's worried voice came out.

"Qing'er what happened, Should I enter?"

"Brother, come inside , help me"

Lin Quang entered and what he saw a bit startled him, a young girl wearing a pink tulle dress was hanging off of Lin Qing like a monkey, she was in disarray.

"What happened here?"

He asked worriedly.

"Brother we'll talk about it later but Let's find a way to leave this place fast without being noticed by those reporters!"

Lin Quang solemnly nodded and opened his phone, his fingers were really fast while texting.

"I'll ask the body guards to open door from kitchen, there is a loading station there we can leave, they can't enter the main hall so we have to leave from backdoor"

"Okay, I'll listen brother, I think there is something wrong with Anna, we better hurry and go to hospital."
