The night was always the beginning of the city's splendor. Some people wanted to enjoy and relax after the day's hard work while some wanted to celebrate something. And the best place to promote this splendor was the jovial and passionate Flame Bar. In this place, you couldn't feel the night at all. Young men and women filled the dance floor, shaking and twisting their bodies to the beat of the ear-splitting music. There were also some private rooms that accommodated guests from the upper class.
The door of the best VIP room was pushed open, and a group of young people walked in. The man at the forefront was the youngest but the most powerful figure in J City.
He had a perfect figure comparable to European male models and a handsome and charming appearance. The corners of his mouth also habitually curved into a faint smile. He stood out from the crowd. Upon seeing such a perfect man, even the male species couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at him a few more times.
The moment he walked into the private room, Kyng Shen, who was sitting on the sofa and lecturing the manager of the bar, saw him. Kyng soothed his anger, walked up to him, and greeted him with a warm smile. "Ryan, you are as punctual as always."
The man that Kyng called Ryan smiled and said, "My grandpa is a soldier and demands that I be punctual. I have been living with him since I was a child. I won't ever tolerate lateness."
Upon hearing his words, Kyng nodded his head in agreement.
Ryan Yan glanced at Kyng, but didn't say anything more. He just walked to the armchair and sat down.
Kyng couldn't see through Ryan's current mood, so he glared at the manager and said, "Hurry up, do what I've told you to do."
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment." The manager was scared out of his wits when he saw the look in Kyng's eyes.
After all, the man sitting in front of him was Ryan, the young man who could make everyone in J City tremble. And the man standing in front of him was Kyng, who was from the famous Shen family. Aside from being Ryan's best friend, Kyng was also the owner of Flame Bar. As a mere manager, how could he afford to offend these two big shots?
As soon as the manager finished his words, he turned around and walked out of the private room. When he thought of Ryan sitting in there, he couldn't help but shiver. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would not be able to live his life in peace anymore. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.
Kyng was a little satisfied after seeing the manager's reaction. He turned around and looked at Ryan, who was sitting in silence. With an apologetic smile, he said, "I'm sorry; it is so hard to find a woman you like."
"I didn't ask you to find a woman for me." Ryan then accepted the wine a friend near him offered, took a sip, and curled his lips.
"But it's your last night of being single. How can you not want a woman?" Kyng said exaggeratedly, stretching out his hands. He looked at their other friends in the private room. "Guys, tell me, should Ryan not enjoy his last night of being single?"
One of their friends answered, "Of course, he has to. Although Alia is a beauty, you will have to face her every day starting tomorrow. Tonight is your last free night. Why don't you take advantage of it and enjoy yourself? I believe that a generous person like Alia will understand." The rest of the people in the private room cheered up. The atmosphere inside became lively.
They already knew what was meant to happen tonight, so they all had meaningful smiles on their faces.
Kyng looked at Ryan, whose expression hadn't changed at all despite the crowd's persuasion. He said, "Ryan, I especially reserved this private room for you, so you can enjoy those beauties tonight."
The private room where they were currently in had special glass walls. People inside could see the whole bar clearly. But the people outside couldn't see the inside of the private room.
Upon hearing Kyng's words, Ryan raised his head slightly. Then he saw the manager walking along the corridor with a group of beautifully-dressed bar girls.
The manager knocked on the door respectfully before gently pushing it open. He then came in, followed by the five bar girls.
Kyng turned around and looked at the bar girls who walked in. They were not wearing heavy makeup. Their clothes were also not covered with sequins, which made them look less vulgar. He knew Ryan didn't like those vulgar women.
Seeing that Kyng's face softened a bit, the manager knew that the five bar girls he busted his ass to find finally passed his taste. He hurriedly walked over to Ryan and said with a big smile, "Mr. Yan, these five beauties are all first class."
Seeing the manager's flattering smile, Ryan raised his eyes and glanced at the bar girls lined up in front of him.
The girls obviously looked nervous and excited, knowing that they were being watched by Ryan. The man sitting in front of them was like an emperor. Whoever he liked among them meant that she would live in great wealth for the rest of her life.
Apart from his enviable possessions, Ryan's handsome face and perfect figure were enough for any woman to let go of her reservations and stay by his side.
Ryan glanced at the five bar girls indifferently with a faint smile. However, his eyes did not linger on any of them for more than half a second.
The indifference on his face made everyone understand. Kyng glared at the manager discontentedly. The manager broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ryan, don't you like them?" Kyng asked. "Then I'll ask the manager to bring more girls until you find the right one."
"No need. You don't really have to do this." Ryan was amused to see the nervous look on Kyng's face.
As Ryan's best friend, Kyng wanted Ryan to have an unforgettable and enjoyable bachelor party tonight. He had even made a lot of preparations for this event. The shows before they came to the bar were all excellent. How could he let the last show ruin the night?
"Wait, wait, wait! If you don't like them, we still have many other girls," Kyng disagreed at once. He stared at the manager and said, "If you can't make Ryan happy tonight, you will be responsible for it."
The manager's legs went weak. Since the other guests in the room knew that Ryan didn't like any of the bar girls in front of them, they expected that the manager would bring more beautiful bar girls.
At this moment, Ryan, who had been sitting on the sofa leisurely, suddenly fixed his eyes on one woman and asked, "Who is she?"
Everyone else followed his gaze curiously. They then saw a beautiful woman in a white dress with shoulder-length hair. Walking in the corridor, she didn't seem to fit in with her surroundings.
Maybe because the environment made her look like a pure elf that broke into the world. Or maybe, it was her pure temperament that made the environment chaotic.
Such a special creature was indeed attractive. When they saw the woman, they turned their eyes to Ryan. Obviously, he was very interested in her.
Kyng turned to the manager and asked, "Who is she? Is she working here too?"
"She is..." The expression in Kyng's eyes made the manager feel oppressed. The sweat on his forehead got dense. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes. She is a new bar girl."
"Since she works here, ask her to accompany Ryan right now. Hurry up!" Kyng ordered the manager, feeling disappointed at his insensitivity.
"All right." The manager wiped the sweat on his forehead. "Mr. Yan, please wait a moment."
He then ran out of the room to look for the woman who had just passed by.
The gleam of interest disappeared from Ryan's eyes the moment he heard the manager said that the woman was a new bar girl.
He didn't expect that such a woman would work as a bar girl.
As soon as Megan Xi walked into the bar, she was dazzled by the bright and colorful lights. She couldn't even open her eyes. Many people were on the dance floor, shaking and twisting their bodies to the rhythm of the music. At the sight of this, she wanted to turn around and leave at once.
But she knew very well that she couldn't. She came here to look for someone. No matter how noisy and chaotic this place was, she had to bite the bullet and walk inside.
Several inebriated men nearly knocked into her at the hall. They were so drunk that they couldn't even stand or walk steadily. There were also some who tried to chat her up, but she just ignored them. Megan found her way around the bar, but she failed to find the person she was looking for. When she was about to give up and head for the next bar, she saw several young men and women sitting in the corner, playing finger-guessing game and drinking.
Among them, Rebecca Xi was the most eye-catching one. She was young and glamorous, and her perfect figure attracted enough attention. At this moment, several young men surrounded her and kept urging her to drink. And Rebecca didn't refuse. She took the glass and drank it in one gulp.
As soon as she saw the scene, Megan strode towards their table and grabbed the glass from Rebecca's hand. She put it down on the table forcefully and shouted, "Rebecca, stop it already and come home with me right now!"
The young men sitting around all looked at her unhappily. They didn't expect that such a bold woman would interrupt their game. So before Rebecca could say anything, one of them shouted back, "Who the hell are you? Rebecca is having a good time with us now. Why are you forcing her to go with you?"
"Beauty, why don't you come and drink with us?" chimed in another young man.
"Yes, that's right! Have fun with us!"
All the young men started to shout as well, urging Megan to stay.
However, she just ignored them. Seeing that Rebecca was a little drunk, she said to her in a hurry, "Rebecca, if you don't come home with me now, I will call Dad and ask him to come over."
Rebecca jumped up from the sofa when she heard Megan's words. She pointed at Megan's nose and scolded, "Don't try to threaten me with Dad! Are you happy to see me like this? You want Dad to come over and see me like this, so he will hate me more and feel that I am useless. In his eyes, only you are a good daughter."
When she saw that Rebecca stood up and scolded her furiously, Megan was also enraged.
Last year, Rebecca made trouble in a bar and hurt someone. She almost went to jail because of it. Fortunately, their father did his best to convince the victim to drop the charges. Only a year had passed, and here she was now, drinking in a bar with these good-for-nothing young men and women again.
If it hadn't been for their father, who was so worried about Rebecca and called her to look for her, Megan wouldn't waste her time coming to this place. But now, she was only scolded by Rebecca just like that. Her kindness came to no good.
"Rebecca, can you be a little reasonable sometimes? You've been here all day long. Do you even know that Dad is so worried about you?" Megan felt like her heart would explode with rage. Rebecca was so disappointing. She only made their father worry again and again.
"If he is really worried about me, he should have asked Andrew to help me find a job instead of helping you!" Rebecca yelled. Her eyes were full of unwillingness and hatred towards Megan. She gritted her teeth and added, "Don't you ever think that you can live a happy life with Andrew, Megan. Let me tell you, Andrew is mine!"
