After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 5: Reunion

About five or six men were inside, along with two young, beautiful women with fiery figures.

The private room was shrouded in smoke, and Tang Xi coughed as she choked on it.

A man was heard saying, "Brother Kuan, is this the chick who hit your car? Brother Kuan, you've turned a misfortune into a blessing; the headlight's broken, but now you've got two fairies here."

The man called Brother Kuan said, "I just picked up that car two months ago, and you've scratched it and broken the headlight. What are you going to do about it?"

Ruan Youqing bowed her head in haste, terrified, "It's my fault, but it was your car that suddenly charged out... I was driving properly."

Brother Kuan lit a cigarette, his eyes revealing a fierce glint, "You mean to say, it's my fault?"

"Brother Kuan, speak a bit more gently, look how scared the little sisters are. Whatever it is, we can talk about it." A man with a smile on his face walked over with a glass of alcohol for Ruan Youqing, "Little sister, Brother Kuan is like this, don't be afraid. It's just a broken headlight, right? I'll compensate you..." As he spoke, he grabbed Ruan Youqing's hand and stroked it, then stuffed the drink in her hand.

"Sorry, my friend doesn't drink," Tang Xi stood in front of Ruan Youqing, her eyes scanning the room vigilantly, her voice cold, "Moreover, my friend was driving normally, and there should be surveillance all along the roadside. Even if we call the police, my friend is not at fault. And your car, it's not worth 180,000. I can get a lawyer to do a professional appraisal..."

Tang Xi didn't know much about cars, but as it happened, Brother Kuan's car model, they had a high-end version at home.

Su Kangrong usually drove this car for show. The bare car cost 3 million, and previously, the driver had an accident on the road, damaging the headlight and costing about 50,000 for repairs.

So, this Brother Kuan was entirely trying to extort Ruan Youqing.

Brother Kuan was taken aback, apparently not expecting to encounter someone knowledgeable. He looked at Tang Xi, "Then call the police... I, Zhang Haikuan, am not easily intimidated. Your friend scratched my car, and the 180,000 cannot be less! Otherwise, see how I deal with you. I heard you both are doctors, right? What a coincidence, from now on, I'll bring a few brothers to frequent your hospital and patronize your business, hahaha."

Laughter erupted in the private room, and several men stared unscrupulously at Tang Xi and Ruan Youqing.

The man who offered Ruan Youqing the drink said, "Brother Kuan, don't scare the two sisters like that. Come on, come sit with us, have a drink, chat a bit, and let this matter go."

As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Xi's arm and pulled her towards the sofa, but Tang Xi broke free and eyed him warily.

"Brother Lin seems so tender and caring for the fairer sex, alright then... It's just a broken headlight, right? Brother Kuan, it's no big deal, give the brothers some face, don't fuss with the ladies..."

Zhang Haikuan opened two bottles of alcohol, "Alright, I'll give my brothers face. Drink these two bottles, and we'll consider the matter resolved..."

Tang Xi looked at Ruan Youqing, and she reached out to hold Ruan Youqing's arm. She shook her head at her, Ruan Youqing pursed her lips, walked over, and picked up a bottle of alcohol. She had no choice; the 180,000 compensation was an amount she could not afford even if it killed her.

She lifted her head and guzzled a few mouthfuls.

Her alcohol tolerance was poor; half a bottle later, she began to feel discomfort.

On one side, a few men started to jeer.

Tang Xi walked over, picking up the other bottle of alcohol, "As agreed, if we finish these two bottles, the compensation is canceled."

"What I, Zhang Haikuan, say counts. As long as you finish these two bottles, it's settled," he said.

Tang Xi recorded it, fearing Zhang Haikuan might not acknowledge it later.

She tilted her head back and took a few swigs.

The fiery liquor burned down her throat, causing stomach spasms.

She bore it, finishing a bottle, swaying a bit.

At that moment, someone passed her a cup of water. Tang Xi took it instinctively; the harsh taste of the liquor was truly unbearable. She took a sip of the warm water, which made her feel much better.

Ruan Youqing looked at Tang Xi, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, we've finished the alcohol, can we go now?" Tang Xi had no desire to linger there.

Zhang Haikuan's eyes circled around greedily, resting on her, "What's the rush? Play here for a bit, Brother will send you two home later..."

A man grabbed Ruan Youqing's arm. She screamed and broke free.

She pulled Tang Xi to the door, "What are you trying to do? If you keep this up, I'll call the police!"

"Call the police, go ahead and call haha!"

"Little sister, in our Brother Kangrong's territory, Brother Kangrong makes the rules."

"Since you're already here, let's all have some fun together... Make us comfortable, and you'll get whatever you want..."

Ruan Youqing picked up a wine bottle from the ground and smashed it against a sleazy-looking man, then quickly opened the door, pulling Tang Xi and running out.

"Fuck—" The man cursed in pain.

"Chase after them!"

With waves of pain in her stomach, Tang Xi ran frantically, holding Ruan Youqing's hand, their footsteps chasing behind them, Tang Xi afraid that they would catch up.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar silhouette.

Not far ahead, nobly elegant, a natural-born king, the corridor lights shining upon him, highlighting his grace.

The man was surrounded by a few others.

Without a moment's hesitation, her first instinct was to pull Ruan Youqing and run towards him.

"Fu Tingzhou—"

"Slut! You dare to run!" Suddenly, a hand from behind grabbed Tang Xi's hair and yanked her back viciously.

Several men caught up with her and Ruan Youqing.

A man made a gesture, seemingly not daring to cause a scene outside, and said in a lowered voice, "Grab these two women and take them to the private room, then we can do whatever we want with them."

Ruan Youqing struggled and received a slap on the face.

Tang Xi lowered her head and bit into a man's arm. The man cried out in pain and raised his hand, ready to slap her.

Tang Xi trembled and closed her eyes, but after waiting two seconds, the expected pain didn't come. Instead, she heard a cry of agony from the man.

The next second, a hand hooked around her waist.

The man's broad and warm palm rested on her waist, and when Tang Xi opened her eyes, she saw a handsome and captivating face, enveloped in the familiar yet strange scent of ebony.

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned.

As the sound of bones breaking and Zhang Haikuan's cries of pain echoed, the bodyguards following Fu Tingzhou had precisely taken care of the men.

The man's eyes gleamed coldly, "Get lost!"

Zhang Haikuan knew he was up against no ordinary people. Ignoring his pain, he begged for mercy and scrambled away.

The hand on the woman's waist slowly relaxed. It seemed only now Tang Xi snapped out of her daze. Her heart was pounding violently; she didn't look at Fu Tingzhou, but she could feel his gaze on her.

She hurried to help Ruan Youqing up, "Are you okay?"

Ruan Youqing shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just scared to death. Thankfully, your friend arrived..." She glanced at Fu Tingzhou and, sensing the man's distinguished status, lowered her voice. His presence made her feel somewhat afraid, wondering how Xiao Xi could know such a person...

"Xiao Xi, you know him... Who is he?"

"I..." Tang Xi's lips parted slightly.

She looked up at Fu Tingzhou.

As their gazes met, his eyes were indifferent, and she caught her breath.
