Chapter 27
WanKe’s P. O. V
Brushing the strands of hair falling over my face I take a closer look at me in the mirror, my heart fluttering looking at my own reflection a wide smile making it’s way on my lips. It’s been ages seeing me dressed up as a girl and I’ve never seen myself like this. The feeling of disappointment gets into me when I try to figure out how I would have looked when I was in my teens and before.
Taking another look of myself I hide the item which they gave me to use as breasts, folding the wooden screen I step out my lips twitching up slightly to a weak smile when I notice the three pair of eyes on me which is making me nervous, as I always tell being the centre of attention drives me nuts.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your figure looks,” ChengLi keeps a step forward moving his gaze from top to bottom “Perfect, You look exactly like a woman,” he blurts his eyes scrolling up and down making my mentality mock at their reaction of being clueless of who I am exactly.
“You look beautiful,” he continues when I walk towards him, standing beside him I place my arm over his shoulders watching his side features where his eyes go wide acting like his crush touched him.
“Do I?,” I ask acting curious my heart enjoying the comments, I’ve always been complimented as handsome and I liked it but this is something different, the only person who told that I look pretty is Brother Lei.
“Yes you do,” HenYu keeps a step forward closer to me folding my shoulder pleats neatly “If you are a woman I would really go out with you,” bending a little low he looks up at me and brings the hand fan forward gesturing me to take it. Taking the fan I pass him a weak smile my muscles not willing to move up.
I look away my eyes landing on Feng Lei who seems to be absent minded “Feng Lei,” I call out removing my hands from HenYu I walk towards him, his eyes staring at me. Throwing the hand fan on the cane chair I place my right foot on the small table in front of him leaning forward “How do I look?,” I ask softly following the movement of his orbs.
He stares at me with his lips parted with an unreadable expression playing on his face, I bend even closer when he begins to speak expecting his answer “Not bad,” he blurts out dryly looking away he stands up which makes me to move back instantly, rubbing his palms over his thigh he passes a glance at HenYu and ChengLi “It’s time to leave,” he informs and walks away.
Standing straight I take the fan from the chair “What’s got into him?,” Grunting under my breath I follow behind the others.
“The sun is about to set,” Feng Lei stops in his tracks at the entrance at house of zexun and we stop behind him.
“HenYu and ChengLi distract the maid who escorts the private room,” he orders.
“And then Wanke,”
“Yes,” I reply huskily when he faces me, fiddling with the long piece of material around my waist I lower my head looking up at him I flutter my eyes with a mischievous smile, he stares at me questionably gulping down his saliva making it obvious as his Adams apple moves up and down and then he looks away in a flash.
“What happened to you?,” HenYu asks wrinkling his forehead watching me curiously.
“Getting into my role,” I smile covering my mouth with four fingers.
“It’s scary,” he utters placing his arm over my shoulders, pushing his arm away I slap at the back of his neck.
Sighing internally I pay attention to Feng Lei who watches around except me.
“WanKe better be careful when getting in the room, no one should find out that you are not a worker there,”
“Sure,” I show him a thumbs up and bring my hand forward in the air with my palm turned around “We will get extra points,” I shout out making ChengLi and HenYu place their palms over mine by stepping aside forming a circle, turning to my right I pass a glance at Feng Lei which makes him to place his palm over too.
“We got this,” We cheer aloud and head into the shop.
Feng Lei and I stroll upstairs as the private rooms are on the second floor and the eating place is on the first floor. ChengLi and HenYu checks around downstairs and joins us as no one is to be found there. We walk together to the room where four men are standing outside who are the members of the gang.
HenYu steps back and hides behind when we are three rooms away from the main room, ChengLi hides after and then Feng Lei hides when I’m a few steps away from the room. Lowering my gaze I keep slow steps fiddling with my fingers, my eyes fixed to the polished wooden floor.
Looking to my right slowly with my head lowered I walk pass the men each of them staring deep at me, ignoring their stares I continue my work. I stand in front of the door till they push open the huge doors for me, bending a little low I utter a thank you softly, soon after I step in the behind me closes leaving me and him alone, there sits Gu Weiting on the comfortable cushion placed around the chabudai table, holding the pot of liquor he pours it into the small ceramic cup, stopping his actions he looks up when the creaking of the closed door gets into his ears.
He smiles furtively gazing at me up and down removing my clothes with his eyes which is making my blood boil, I try to calm myself down as I cannot control the feeling to jump over the table and punch right on his mouth so that he cannot speak.
“Come here, come here,” he holds the cup with liquor high in my view while I walk towards him, gulping down the liquor he slams the cup on the table when I sit down beside him, taking the pot I fill the cup again. He turns the other cup and places it beside the one which I filled telling me to fill that as well.
“Cheers,” he laughs aloud dryly.
Covering my mouth with my long sleeve I drink the liquor, I notice his eyes glued on me when I place the cup on the table my eyeballs moving up to watch him, leaning forward he caresses on my cheek and moves down making me flinch in disgust.
