Chapter 34: Huo Beiting, Don’t

Everyone who heard Huo Beiting’s evaluation of Lu Wan at the scene couldn’t help but turn pale, not daring to raise their heads.

They had just witnessed what it truly meant when someone says, “Love makes one blind.”

Huo Beiting had nothing else to praise, right?

Miss Lu, the Fourth Young Lady, looked so painfully unattractive at first glance. Yet, he seemed to study her so intently.

It seemed that Huo Beiting really liked this kind of woman.

Lu Wan sat back beside Gu Nanyan, her hand still trembling slightly as she held her glass.

“What’s wrong?”

Huo Beiting was sitting too far in the corner, so when Lu Wan went to offer a toast, Gu Nanyan couldn’t see clearly. Seeing how frightened Lu Wan looked, she couldn’t help but glance at Huo Beiting.

What did he do to Wanwan?

“It’s… nothing…”

Lu Wan quickly poured herself another drink, trying to cover up her nervousness.

“Don’t get drunk.” Gu Nanyan leaned in close to her ear and whispered.

Wanwan had already drunk quite a bit tonight.

“I won’t.”

Lu Wan smiled gently at Gu Nanyan, confident in her alcohol tolerance. She quickly stole another glance at the corner, but then quickly looked away.

She no longer had the courage to even look at Huo Beiting.

“Nanyan, Mr. Shen, thank you.”

Lu Wan thought for a moment and then raised her glass to Gu Nanyan and Shen Boyan.

“There’s no need for politeness between us,” Gu Nanyan smiled.

Shen Boyan, on the other hand, remained expressionless. He raised his glass and drank it in one go.

His gaze then fell directly on the smiling Gu Nanyan.

Naturally, someone had to thank him.

Gu Nanyan felt the intense gaze beside her and quickly stopped smiling, silently drinking her wine, holding her glass.

“Nanyan, I’m going to the bathroom.”

Lu Wan had indeed drunk a bit too much tonight. Although she wasn’t drunk, her stomach felt uncomfortably full.

“Do you know where the bathroom is? Do you want me to go with you?” Gu Nanyan quickly put down her glass and asked.

“No need, I’ll be back soon.” Lu Wan headed out directly.

“Mr. Shen, it’s rare to see you bring your wife out, so I must toast you both.”

Just as Lu Wan left, someone came over to offer a toast to Shen Boyan and Gu Nanyan.

The private room had become lively, with noise and excitement filling the air.

The bathroom was at the end of the hall. Lu Wan went in and stayed for only a moment before coming out.

You’re absolutely right! I missed a word in the previous translation. Here’s the corrected version:

English Translation:

“Right after Lu Wan left, someone came to offer drinks to Shen Boyan and Gu Nanyan.**

**The private room was already lively. **

Lu Wan went into the restroom at the end of the corridor and came out after a while.

The public sink was right in the middle of the men’s and women’s restrooms.

Lu Wan was washing her hands when a figure stumbled out of the men’s restroom.

As soon as he saw Lu Wan’s outfit, the man immediately became interested: “Where did you come from, little sister? Come play with your brother.”

Lu Wan looked at him, frightened, and quickly turned off the faucet and tried to run away.

But the man rushed over and grabbed her wrist: “You little bitch, don’t play hard to get. With someone like you, I wouldn’t even want you for free. Let me play with you for a bit, I’m doing you a favor.”

Lu Wan had never seen such a thing before, and she was so scared that her whole body was trembling: “I don’t know you, let go of me…”

“Dressing like this, aren’t you just here to play? What’s the difference between playing with me or anyone else?” The man squinted his drunken eyes and looked at Lu Wan’s face: “You’re ugly, but it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same with the lights off. I guarantee you’ll have a good time.”

The man was about to forcefully drag Lu Wan back to the private room.

“Let go of me… You’re a bastard, you’re shameless…” Lu Wan knew she was no match for the man in terms of strength, so to avoid being dragged away, she sat directly on the ground.

“What are you pretending to be pure for? Aren’t you the kind of woman who can be bought with money? I have plenty of money.”

The man was impatient and dragged Lu Wan even harder.

The restroom was far from the private room, and Lu Wan had never been so scared. Although her whole body was shaking like a sieve, she still held back her tears, “I’m not that kind of woman, if you dare to touch me, my friend won’t let you go.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a gloomy and cold figure slowly walked from far to near on the golden carpet-covered corridor.

When Lu Wan saw Huo Beiting’s figure, she felt as if she had seen a lifeline.

However, Huo Beiting walked coldly past them, without even glancing at them, and went straight to the men’s restroom.

The man who was grabbing Lu Wan suddenly laughed: “Your friend? Where’s your friend? Come with me, or I’ll do it right here!”

“Huo Beiting…” Just as Huo Beiting was about to enter the restroom, Lu Wan called out his name crying.

She looked at the paused figure with red eyes.

Was he going to… ignore all of this?

Stopped by Lu Wan, Huo Beiting slowly turned around.

A pair of dark red eyes fell calmly on the trembling woman: “What?”

“Save… save me…” Lu Wan didn’t expect that she would ask Huo Beiting for help.

This was her first time in a place like a bar.

She didn’t want to be dragged away…

And she didn’t want to be ruined…

Lu Wan was extremely desperate and afraid at this moment.

However, a cold smile slowly appeared on Huo Beiting’s face.

“Why should I save you?”

“Because… because…” Lu Wan couldn’t say anything, tears kept streaming down her eyes.

Her blurred vision was fixed on Huo Beiting, treating this man she had only met once as her only lifeline.

The wrist grabbed by the man was gradually oozing blood.

Huo Beiting’s cold eyes fell on that spot, and the icy smile on his face disappeared instantly.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the man who was tightly grabbing Lu Wan suddenly let go with a painful cry.

Before the man could stand up, Huo Beiting punched him again.

This time, he directly knocked the man to the ground.

Huo Beiting didn’t intend to let him go, squatting down and grabbing the man’s collar, his eyes were blood-red, and a cruel smile curled up at the corner of his lips, “Didn’t I say that your friend wouldn’t let you go?”

After saying that, he punched again, and the man fainted on the spot, his face covered in blood.

Lu Wan had never seen such a bloody scene, she trembled and got up, stumbling towards the corridor.

Behind her, Huo Beiting held the unconscious man with one hand and pressed him directly into the sink, turning the faucet on full.

In the sound of rushing water, the unconscious man suddenly woke up and began to struggle.

Huo Beiting pressed his head down expressionlessly, his cold and beautiful face was like a hellish Luo Sha, full of cruelty and killing intent.

When Lu Wan was about to reach the door of the private room, she suddenly stopped.

She thought of something and turned back to the end of the corridor.

The sink was already full of water, and Lu Wan ran over to see the man being held tightly by Huo Beiting, he seemed to be losing his struggle and gradually stopped moving.

“Huo Beiting, no!”

Lu Wan didn’t know where she got the courage, she cried and hugged Huo Beiting’s arm.

Huo Beiting seemed surprised, and paused for a moment.

Then he let go, and turned around to grab Lu Wan’s bleeding wrist, pulling up her sleeve.

A white arm was exposed, with a glaring cut on it, causing the icy smile in Huo Beiting’s scarlet eyes to disappear.

I apologize for the previous errors. I am still under development and learning to be more accurate.
