Chapter 126: You’re Here

The bar manager bowed and scraped to Zhang Kai with a fawning expression, then led him over to Yang Bingyu’s booth.

By now, Yang Bingyu was already feeling the alcohol. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her fair skin was tinged with a delicate pink. Seeing her in such an intoxicated state, Zhang Kai was instantly aroused. He stared fixedly at her, unable to tear his eyes away.

As a shrewd judge of character, the bar manager took one look at his expression and instantly guessed Zhang Kai’s intentions. He chuckled obsequiously. "Young Master Zhang, I see Miss Yang the Elder has had quite a bit to drink. How about you help her downstairs to rest?"

Hearing this, Zhang Kai turned to glance at the manager and nodded in deep satisfaction. "You certainly are considerate. Then let’s take Bingyu to my private room."

At this point, Zhang Kai was completely blinded by lust, without a single shred of hesitation left in his mind. If he could sleep with a top-tier beauty like Yang Bingyu, he would die a satisfied man.

"What are you doing? Don’t touch me!" Yang Bingyu, slumped drunkenly across the table, noticed the manager reaching out to help her. Highly irritated, she shoved him away.

"Miss Yang the Elder, you’re drunk. Let me help you downstairs to rest," the bar manager said with a cold, fake smile.

"Get lost! I’m going home. I’m not resting here!"

Though Yang Bingyu was quite tipsy, she still retained a sliver of rationality. Seeing the manager’s ill-intentioned demeanor, she frowned and rejected him without a second thought. She swayed as she stood up from the sofa, grabbed her handbag, and tried to walk out.

However, she stumbled. Just as she was about to hit the floor, Zhang Kai hurriedly reached out to catch her, using the momentum to pull her forcefully into his arms.

A waft of delicate fragrance assaulted Zhang Kai’s senses, making his physical reaction even more intense. He swallowed hard, staring at the woman in his embrace. "Bingyu, it’s me, Zhang Kai. You’re drunk. Let me take you home."

Hearing this, Yang Bingyu lifted her head and stared at him for a long moment before a look of realization dawned on her face. "Oh, it’s you. What are you doing here? Come on, old classmate, have a drink with me."

With that, she bent down, reaching for the wine glass on the table. Zhang Kai hastily wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling. The moment he felt her soft curves, an unbearable, scorching heat surged through him, and a wicked fire erupted from the depths of his heart.

"Alright, I’ll take you home first, and then we can take our time drinking." After coaxing Yang Bingyu, Zhang Kai shot a meaningful glance at the bar manager. The manager instantly understood, and together, they helped Zhang Kai support Yang Bingyu out of the booth area.

In her daze, Yang Bingyu genuinely believed Zhang Kai was taking her home, so she let them lead her away. But the further they walked, the more wrong things felt. Looking at the surrounding hotel-style decor, she couldn’t help but frown.

"Zhang Kai, where is this? Where are you taking me?"

"Be a good girl. I’m taking you somewhere nice." Zhang Kai could hardly wait to pin Yang Bingyu beneath him, and his pace naturally quickened.

Just as they were approaching the room’s door, the intoxicated Yang Bingyu sensed the danger. She shoved Zhang Kai hard, then staggered back against the wall. Staring at him with a vigilant expression, she warned, "Zhang Kai, I’m warning you, don’t get any funny ideas! Otherwise, my grandfather and the rest of the Yang Family won’t let you get away with it!"

He hadn’t expected Yang Bingyu to retain a sliver of consciousness despite being so drunk. Looking at her disheveled clothing, Zhang Kai made no effort to hide the lust and greed in his eyes. He rubbed his hands together and licked his lips, saying impatiently, "You’re just an adopted daughter of the Yang Family. Do you really think they’d offend the Zhang Family over you?

"Yang Bingyu, stop playing the chaste maiden. If you can accept a useless trash husband like that, what’s wrong with sleeping with me for one night?

"Don’t worry, I’m famously generous, and money is the last thing I lack.

"As long as you serve me well tonight, there will be plenty of benefits in it for you."

Having said his piece, Zhang Kai signaled the bar manager. The two men grabbed Yang Bingyu simultaneously, dragging her forcefully into the room.

"Zhang Kai! What are you doing?! Let go of me! If you touch me, you will definitely regret it!" Yang Bingyu lay weak and powerless on the bed, glaring furiously at Zhang Kai as she issued her warning. She never expected that simply coming to a bar for a drink would result in this.

Zhang Kai was already eagerly tearing his clothes off, while the bar manager tactfully slipped out of the room. As he undressed, he leered at Yang Bingyu with such a sleazy expression that she almost threw up on the spot.

"Regret? I’d like to see exactly how you plan to make me regret it." With that, Zhang Kai lunged at her.

The imported liquor packed a heavy delayed punch. Yang Bingyu wanted to resist, but her limbs refused to obey. What little strength she had was entirely useless against him.

Just as she was teetering on the edge of despair, the room door was kicked open with a loud BANG.

Zhang Kai, who had been pinning her down, was sent flying with a heavy THUD, crashing into the floor so hard that the entire room seemed to shake.

"Bingyu, are you alright?!" Ye Xuan had burst into the room. Seeing Yang Bingyu’s tear-stained face on the bed, his heart violently twisted into a knot. He took off his jacket and draped it over her exposed body, then turned his icy gaze toward Zhang Kai.

After Yang Bingyu had stormed out in a fit of pique earlier, Ye Xuan immediately had someone track her location. He finally managed to find out she was at the Star Moon Bar, but the bar manager had been entirely uncooperative, claiming he had never seen her. Even after Ye Xuan showed him her phone’s GPS location, the manager stubbornly denied it. When Ye Xuan tried to force his way in, the manager even gathered his men to block him.

Enraged, Ye Xuan simply relied on brute force to smash his way through. Thank goodness he arrived in time before Yang Bingyu suffered any actual harm. He didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if he had been even a few minutes later.

"Who the hell are you? Do you know where you are? How dare you ruin my good time! I think you’re tired of living!" Clutching his kicked waist, Zhang Kai grimaced in pain as he tried to scramble up from the floor.

But halfway up, he took another solid kick. Ye Xuan put his full strength into it, snapping three of Zhang Kai’s ribs instantly. The man’s agonizing shriek nearly shattered Ye Xuan’s eardrums.

"Shut up! Make one more sound, and I’ll cripple both your hands!" Ye Xuan snapped impatiently. His glacial stare made Zhang Kai snap his mouth shut on the spot. This man was simply too terrifying.

Seeing that he was behaving, Ye Xuan ignored him. He walked over to Yang Bingyu and scooped her up from the bed into a princess carry.

"You came." Feeling the familiar warmth and scent of this man, Yang Bingyu felt an overwhelming sense of peace. She tilted her head up to look at Ye Xuan, then rested against his chest and fell into a deep slumber.
