A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1487 - 288: Observing the Changes, Singing in Harmony (Part 2)

"But you’re much better than that woman, Dongfang. I’ll reluctantly accept you, and be friends with you..." Yi Peilan said, reluctantly.

Yan Song’s eyes turned cold, and Yi Peilan instinctively shrank her neck. Yun Ya tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Yan, I need to talk to Miss Yi, will you wait for me for a bit?"

Yan Song patted Yun Ya’s head, gave Yi Peilan a warning glare, and then turned to leave. He didn’t go far, chatting with peers, but kept his eyes on Yun Ya’s every move.

"Brother Yan always has a temper like that, did it scare you?" Yun Ya said with a smile.

"Funny, when have I, Yi Peilan, ever been afraid of anyone?" Yi Peilan raised her eyebrows arrogantly, never admitting she had been nearly scared by him earlier.

"What’s so good about a man like a cold store? Everyone’s scrambling like frantic roosters..." Yi Peilan grumbled.

On the other side, Xiao Bao’er rushed out of the banquet hall, stuck her hand down her throat, trying to vomit out all the wine she’d just consumed.

She retched so much that tears came out, saliva strung in long threads as she gasped for breath.

Her nails dug deeply into the post, her eyes filled with fierce hatred.

Suddenly, the phone rang, she didn’t pick it up, and it kept ringing incessantly.

After wiping her mouth with a tissue, Xiao Bao’er straightened up and took out her phone to glance at it.

She connected the call.

"Cancel the plan...."

"What? Are you messing with our brothers? I’ve got everything ready, and now you say cancel?" A fierce voice came from the phone, causing ear-tingling vibration.

Xiao Bao’er frowned in disgust, held the phone further away, and said coldly, "I said cancel, then it’s canceled, otherwise don’t expect to get the remaining money." With that, she hung up the call.

"Damn... that b**** tricked us." In the unnoticed grass by the hotel’s back door, a man cursed viciously.

"Boss, can we still get that money?" someone asked cautiously.

"That woman turned her back." The man thought for a moment and said, "It’s better to leave here first."

The area’s surrounded by security, being discovered would be a nightmare, were it not for the large sum offered, he wouldn’t have taken this risk. Little did he expect to be ditched at the last minute, frustration bubbling up from inside.

"Be careful, there’s a patrolling security guard." The few quickly retreated, holding their breath and not daring to move, as they waited for the guard to pass by before slowly peeking out.

"No one, hurry up and go...." Just as the man was about to slip away, his throat suddenly went icy cold, his whole body froze in place, looking down he saw, at some unknown point, a hand had circled around from behind, a sharp dagger pointed directly at his throat. He believed if he dared move, that blade would cut his carotid artery without hesitation.

A chill surged up from his tailbone.

"Who... who are you?" The man, calm under pressure, asked after regaining his composure. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"The one who wants your life." As the words fell, the dagger pushed forward, the sharp blade slicing the skin, the scent of blood quietly permeating the air.

The man hurriedly raised his hands, "Let’s talk this out, no need for knives, alright?"

"Heh... dealing with small fry like you, Grandpa doesn’t need a knife." The voice was cold and mocking.

The opponent kicked him fiercely in the back, sending him tumbling forward with his two brothers landing on top, before he could struggle, he heard the opponent’s voice by his ear, "Do exactly as that person told you before, or I’ll make sure you come in standing and leave horizontal."

When they scrambled to their feet, the lights around were silent, the sound of revelry from the banquet distant, the cold wind swept across their hair, and they simultaneously shivered, exchanging glances with horrified expressions.

"Boss, did we encounter a ghost or something?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." The one called boss, with some sense, glanced around, it was the hotel’s back garden, normally closed off, due to the front hall’s banquet, tonight the back garden was sealed, no one was here.

After walking a few steps forward, someone beside pointed ahead and said, "There seems to be someone there."

"Let’s go take a look." The group walked over, only to find lying in the flowers was a young maiden, her face flushed, clothes disheveled, lying in the bushes, very eye-catching.

"Holy, is this a fairy?" Another man, face lecherous, was about to reach out with lustful intention, the boss immediately pulled him back, "Wait a moment...."
