Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 426 - 303: Are We… Safe Like This? (2 updates 2)
Shi Nian hesitated for a moment, but still said, "...Yes, about your action of wrapping the towel around yourself."
He raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Shi Nian felt a bit awkward, lowering his head, "Because generally, when someone stands up and wraps a towel around their waist, it’s usually a woman. But clearly Mr. Tang isn’t a woman and hasn’t even been in the water, so why bother?"
He was speechless, yet his long eyebrows triumphantly arched high, and the corners of his lips curled up.
He was obviously delighted.
Shi Nian regretted so much that his intestines were turning green, biting his tongue.
He was even more pleased, instead pursuing, "Yes, why do you think I’d do such a redundant thing?"
The key word isn’t "many," but "action."
Shi Nian whispered "bah" and said in frustration, "Forget I said anything!"
He sighed deeply, "Although you glanced at me, you clearly shouldn’t have brought up this topic. Tell me, what exactly feels off?"
Is he really going to speak in such an open setting?
However... I always believe that if he decides something, he must have his reasons.
She took a deep breath, "Your attitude towards Luo Xiansheng isn’t right."
He raised his eyebrows in gratification but slightly bowed his head toward her, asking, "How isn’t it right?"
"He went to make a call, and you clearly saw me blocking Ye He’s actions, you guessed we were guests at the Golden Sand. So you should have informed Luo Xiansheng in time to spare him embarrassment. But you didn’t, almost as if you were waiting to see him humiliate himself. He is your childhood friend, your attitude is quite strange."
Right to the point.
Tang Yanqing could only sigh, again and again. But his sighs were filled with endless relief.
Yet he still tried to cover up, "I didn’t have my phone at the time... so I couldn’t inform him."
Shi Nian sneered, "If you wanted to, there are many ways. Borrow a phone, or notify the nearby hotel manager, but you did nothing, instead focusing on bickering with me and Ye He."
She stared at him, "What did Luo Xiansheng do to make you suspicious? Is it about Meng Chuyan?"
Tang Yanqing quickly took out a hand towel from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, forcing a smile, "Alright, I lost, here’s your hand towel back."
Shi Nian snatched the towel, his eyes not leaving him, "Speak!"
Tang Yanqing’s face grew even more embarrassed, "It’s a long story."
Shi Nian stepped forward again, "I’ll interview you! Will one interview’s worth of time be enough?"
"Huh?" Tang Yanqing was startled, "Interview about what?"
Shi Nian raised her eyebrows, "Interview about what? Mr. Tang, Judy is dead, and you are ranked even higher on the suspect list than Luo Xiansheng!"
.
Tang Yanqing stormed back into the room, where Luo Xiansheng had already returned, seeing his expression and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Tang Yanqing sighed, "Just went to the changing room and she caught me, insisted on interviewing me, giving me an hour to prepare."
Luo Xiansheng frowned, "Interview about what?"
Tang Yanqing’s gaze fell, "...She said Judy is dead, my suspicion is even greater than yours."
Luo Xiansheng’s face also changed, "She suspects you?"
"It’s not wrong," Tang Yanqing sat down in frustration, "According to the investigation procedure, it should start from the relevant people around, naturally I’m the most suspicious. Not only her, the police think the same."
Luo Xiansheng looked at him in surprise, "But weren’t you there to assist the police in their investigation?"
Tang Yanqing shook his head with a bitter smile, "Little Sound, you overestimate me. This is Singapore, how can a police officer from M Country come and dictate? The police asked me to assist the investigation, just as a courtesy; in reality, it was the same as taking my statement."
Luo Xiansheng frowned, "The police also recorded your statement?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Tang Yanqing spread his hands, "Now even the media wants to focus on me. This woman who turns hate to love, using her authority to make trouble, it’s really annoying."
Luo Xiansheng thought for a moment, "Otherwise, I can think of a way for you to refuse the interview."
Tang Yanqing shook his head with a bitter smile: "She just warned me, saying if I don’t agree to the interview, it means I have something to hide. Those reporters are best at making up stories, especially with her hatred towards me. Who knows what she might write."
Luo Xiansheng folded his arms: "So you actually agreed?"
Tang Yanqing squinted. The gesture of crossing arms expressed [rejection] and [defensiveness].
Tang Yanqing snorted defiantly: "If she wants to smear me, then let her. I’m curious to see how far she can go with it!"
.
Although they told Tang Yanqing he had an hour to prepare, Shi Nian came down in just half an hour.
Luo Xiansheng couldn’t help but say: "Mr. Shi, there’s really no need to keep such a close watch."
Shi Nian responded with a strong smile: "Is Mr. Luo trying to teach a journalist how to work? Have you been a journalist before?"
"But you said you’d give us an hour to prepare." Luo Xiansheng held back slight irritation.
Shi Nian laughed: "Mr. Luo, you’re joking again. I said I’d give him an hour, when did I say I’d give you an hour too? Or should I say that it is Mr. Tang who wants to be interviewed by me, I never said I’d interview you, Mr. Luo."
Didn’t he say in the car that it doesn’t count as an interview if she reports it and he doesn’t acknowledge it? Isn’t it okay if she doesn’t interview him?
Luo Xiansheng understood the implication and held back: "You said you’d give him an hour, and it’s not up yet. There’s still half an hour."
"It’s fine." Shi Nian smiled sweetly again: "Let him prepare, I’ll just wait. I assure you, I won’t disturb him early."
Entering the room, Shi Nian deliberately walked around. This was also a high-class hotel suite, 200 square meters, although still a few grades lower than where she was currently staying. After looking around, she smiled wryly: "I didn’t expect that Mr. Tang and Mr. Luo were also so frugal."
Luo Xiansheng blushed: "We’re here in Singapore for work, not vacation, so we booked this level of suite for Judy and Yanqing, just enough to use."
Tang Yanqing came out and nonchalantly added a comment: "Of course, I also wanted to pay extra for the 600-square-meter room, but the hotel said that room is not available for booking at the moment. Even money won’t do."
Luo Xiansheng gave Tang Yanqing a glance. This is a common practice in luxury hotels, where the best room is often reserved for unexpectedly prestigious guests. Even with Tang Yanqing’s status, he couldn’t book it, yet Shi Nian and Ye He got in without spending a cent... The subtle difference in victory and loss seemed painful when thought about closely.
After speaking, Tang Yanqing indifferently went to another room, and Luo Xiansheng had no choice but to say: "Frugality is a traditional treasure of the Chinese, so it’s natural for us to be frugal."
Fortunately, Shi Nian didn’t continue entangling, instead returning to business: "I just wonder, after Judy’s death, what adjustments will Mr. Luo make? Who will fill Judy’s position?"
An entertainment company has corresponding artists for each type. Now that Judy is gone, this type cannot remain empty; a newcomer must be promoted to fill the void. Shi Nian’s question was very professional, and Luo Xiansheng couldn’t avoid it. He nodded: "After returning to the country, the company will hold a meeting to decide."
Shi Nian shrugged: "Right, Mr. Luo and Mr. Tang must both be under travel restrictions now."
Luo Xiansheng took a deep breath: "Cooperating with the investigation only, it doesn’t mean we are suspects."
Shi Nian smiled slightly: "Does Mr. Luo still remember the first time you saw Judy? How old was she then? How did she amaze you, making Mr. Luo remember her so fondly, so you signed her and put in all your efforts to promote her?"
Luo Xiansheng remained silent, but his expression became serious: "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t interview me, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Nian spread his hands: "Just casual talk. Judy has only been gone for 50 hours; reminiscing about things related to her is also a way to remember her, isn’t it?"
Luo Xiansheng gave a light hum: "I’m still finding it hard to calm down, any topic related to her makes me upset. Sorry, I have to excuse myself first."
Luo Xiansheng left in anger, and the door slammed shut. Tang Yanqing heard the sound, came out from the inner room, looked at the door and sighed softly: "Mr. Shi, you’ve made my Little Sound sad, you’re so bad."
Shi Nian stood up and stared at him: "But once again Mr. Tang ’didn’t lift a finger to help,’ knowing full well I was bullying him, but you just stood by. Why?"
He looked at her, the corners of his lips slightly curved.
Why ask? More importantly, why answer?
She knew in her heart, and that was enough.
Shi Nian’s heart trembled sweetly and sourly: because Luo Xiansheng offended her, so he allowed her to stab at Luo Xiansheng, yet pretending to know nothing. Only when hearing Luo Xiansheng’s retaliation would he timely come out to add another stab to Luo Xiansheng, and then turn away again as if nothing happened.
Shi Nian turned away, suddenly feeling that this room was really too small. Just 200 square meters, yet it felt like 2 square meters, and it seemed like the ceiling and walls were closing in on them. Just her heavy breathing could heat up the room.
How annoying, she started missing her 600-square-meter room.
He just sighed, reached out to grasp her elbow, and pulled her into an embrace, holding her tightly.
It’s not the room that shrinks, not the world, but just the hearts of the two people. Hearts so small, not enough to contain the world, only enough to hold one person.
She gently closed her eyes in his embrace: "... Is this room safe?"
He sighed: "Theoretically not very safe, after all, it’s a hotel public room, booked by the Small Voice Company."
