Aria’s Tales - Chapter 42 3.2 Miss Troublemaker

It was in the middle of June, and the outside was still warm despite it being almost midnight. Qin Huang wobbly left the building and moved aside from the sidewalk. Since she was “drunk,” her balance was not stable, and she ended up having to touch the nearby wall to stabilize herself. She did not notice that by using the wall as a guide, it took her into a dark alleyway. By the time she noticed, her vision was blocked by a pale brown brick wall.

She glared at it before leaning on its cold surface as if she was exhausted from her “arduous” journey. And when she did, she saw that the alleyway had been blocked by four figures. One of them had luxurious clothes while the others were wearing an all-black formal wear – a standard uniform for bodyguards. They were all men.

The man with the luxurious clothes had been the one eyeing her at the bar. His perfectly-lined teeth showing as he grinned while tucking his hands into his pockets, and his head was arrogantly raised.

“Hey there, beauty.” His words made Qin Huang’s heart turn cold.

But contrary to the men’s expectations, of a girl trapped in an alleyway, Qin Huang smiled seductively. “Hey there, handsome.”

The men were startled – too startled to notice the glint in the girl’s eyes.

Qin Huang slid her fingers through her hair but stopped midway, and while she kept her seductive smile, she made an obvious attempt in eyeing the luxuriously dressed man. Her eyes narrowed as if she was satisfied.

The luxuriously dressed man could not keep himself from licking his dry lips. “Beauty wants to play with me?”

“Hm, play?” Qin Huang raised her eyebrows. “Only play~?” Her lips curved down looking terribly disappointed, and her glazed black eyes grew wider.

The man and his bodyguards inhaled a sharp breath. They had not expected to meet a female seductress instead of the usual “innocent” ones. Although they find it interesting popping the cherry, they were not foolish enough to turn away from such a high-quality-looking lady!

The man couldn’t wait anymore and confidently strode to Qin Huang. While the others blocked the entrance with their broad backs, they were also shamelessly facing the alleyway, wholly intent on watching the on-coming live “spectacle”.

Qin Huang kept her smile etched on her beautiful face and didn’t seem to plan on moving. Her fingers had long been playing with her hair while her stance seemed as if she was about to fall. She did not move even after the man had caught her waist – pulling her into his embrace.

“Little seductress wants more than play?” His voice was deep and hoarse. When he found that Qin Huang had gone silent, he thought she was silently confirming his question.

Unbeknownst to him, Lily had long been screaming in Qin Huang’s head and exploding real bombs that made her utterly speechless.

Lily: Noooooo!!! Huang, punch him quick! Punch him! Beat him ’till he’s black and blue! He’s definitely not Adounis! Nor is he Shen Yan!! Ugh!

Qin Huang: *speechless* What got you to idolize my Adounis? *murmurs* Although I’m happy that you do …

Lily: Eh~ Adounis is better! Isn’t he my male boss? My master rightfully deserves the male boss~!

Qin Huang’s heart couldn’t help but beat fast. She was seriously considering if she should bake a thousand cookies for Lily later. ‘As expected of my Lily~’ She tried to calm the furiously bouncing rabbit by patting her head.

While on the inside this scene was happening, on the outside the man had just started to roam his naughty hands. But before he could touch the place further down south, his vision had turned upside down, and the back of his head was smacked to the ground. The impact had actually made him unable to breathe for more than ten seconds, and he choked on his own saliva.

The bodyguards’ eyes had bulged in horror. The one in the middle had not woken up from his stupor yet when two muffled grunts sounded from both of his sides. When he frantically checked his brothers, he was sent backwards by a kick under his chin.

Qin Huang had sent the last man standing with an upper kick. After finding that all of them were groaning in pain on the rough asphalt ground, she patted the nonexistent dirt in her hand. Then she stretched her hands up to the skies.

“Ah~ That was great~ Thanks for being my punching bags for the night~”

Qin Huang no longer had the drunken look, rather, she seemed to have a pleased expression. Her cheeks were still a shade of red, but her eyes were full of clarity. And her lips were forever curved into a seductive smile.

“You b*itch!! That hurts! Don’t you know who I am?!”

The man finally found his breath and calmed his throbbing head, but he was still in the ground because his shoulders had also taken a blow. He was enraged. Even when he saw his bodyguards had been taken down in a mere few seconds, his arrogance had not diminished.

“Hee~ May I know young master’s name then?”

Qin Huang was unfazed. She was very much eager instead to know his identity. With her hands locked behind her back, she bowed to look down on the man. The grin plastered on her face – expressing her childish playfulness – made the man dizzy and confused as to why this girl was not reacting like the norms.

However, he did not dwell on it further. “I am Sun Xue!” He widely smiled as if victory was already in his grasps. “B*itch you’re dead!” His eyes became red as the pain in his shoulders reminded him of his defeat.

There was a moment of silence at first, then Sun Xue’s loud wailing echoed in the deep night. Qin Huang had delivered an iron punch straight to his stomach – an area that could not be seen but could definitely induce great pain.

“That’s wonderful!”

She had rolled him to make him face the ground and decisively sat on his back. Who knows when she had done it, but she had swiftly taken out a touchscreen phone that looked to be one of the latest expensive models. “Good good good! Here~ call your brothers for me! Man, I’ve been looking for some stress relief! You’re really a godsent punching bag! The best kind!”

Sun Xue was in too much pain to retort. All he could do was glare menacingly at the leisurely sitting girl on his back. Forget his pride getting a huge blow, he was more enraged at the fact that she had not been threatened by his identity. He was Sun Xue! The second son of the Xue Mafia who ruled over the district they were currently on!

“Hey~” Qin Huang tapped the phone on Sun Xue’s face, which actually had his picture on the lock screen – it turned out that she had swiftly “borrowed” his cell phone without his knowledge.

“Come on~ Call them! If not-”

Her lips thinned and curled up while her eyes darkened. “We can surely play more~”

Sun Xue almost wet his pants, and internally, he had long cried. He just wanted to have a one night stand! Why did he have to offend this psychotic girl?? He could only blame his male tendencies and desire for lust which led him to meeting Qin Huang.

Despite looking in terrible pain as he took the phone that was slapped to his face, Qin Huang continued to sit on top of him and examined her well-maintained fingernails. Sun Xue had to grit his teeth to stop himself from groaning. When the phone connected, he only gave the address to the place before turning it off. His face was drenched by his own sweat.

“Done! Can you get off me now?!” He had no idea what she was about to do, and even when he had called back up, he felt no sense of security at all!

“Eh~ Why should I? What do I do if they don’t see how well I’m treating you~?” Qin Huang giggled excitedly at the thought of using her fist to vent her frustrations. She was so excited that she was willing to wait patiently for them to arrive even if it took over an hour.

When she heard numerous orderly footsteps from the corner of the entrance, she beamed. “Hello-”

A wooshing sound, that was heard by her alone, went to the direction of the newly arrived people, and she saw her precious red string submerging into the chest of a man wearing a cocktail suit. His dark red hair looked brighter in the night, and his pitched-black eyes were reflecting the city lights.

Qin Huang’s mouth was slightly agape. M- My Adounis is so handsome- More handsome than last time ah! O- Oh god … How am I going to keep myself from committing OOC?? She had never thought that a day like this would come. One where her partner was too handsome that she could already feel the desire to break character … and to pounce.

She was too mesmerized and too caught up in her own fantasy that she forgot her “punching bag” right under her buttocks.

“Bro! Help me out here will ‘ya?? Get this b*tch off m- ow!”

Qin Huang smacked his head in annoyance. She was already at the best part of her fantasies, yet Sun Xue had to ruin it! Her cheeks were puffed as she proceeded to “lightly” tap Sun Xue’s shoulder – just right to the place where it hurt. “Shut up! Who was it that wanted to play with me huh?! If I didn’t have a black belt in karate, wouldn’t I be caught in your filthy hands?”

She resorted to poking his shoulder while still wearing a righteous expression. But her hands had been caught by a rough one as she was pulled up quickly in a simple tug. She raised her eyebrows in question and looked straight at the man who was potentially her Adounis.

The man didn’t look angry at all that his brother was being abused. He only stared back at her mischievous, alluring eyes and seemed to ponder deeply. Then, he raised his hands and placed them on top of Qin Huang’s straight and ponytailed hair.

“That’s enough.” He said, ever so gently.

Qin Huang was stunned – both inside and out. No matter how much she wished that her Adounis would recall his memories, she dared not allow hope to seep through her heart. Yet, this man’s words had ignited a small spark, giving her the urge to cry in his embrace.

On the contrary, however, she tiptoed to balance their height and circled her slender arms around his neck. Her seductive smile graced her face, and all of the weight in her body was used to lean on him. It caused her two mounds to be squished in his robust chest.

“I’m only getting a pat~? Why~? I was almost taken advantage off and yet I’m only getting a pat~?”

She gave her best in dragging her words, while she also did her best in sticking close. Their faces were an inch apart which made them see each other’s features clearly, and their breaths were mixing as one. If Qin Huang was not distracted by his handsomeness causing her heart to beat erratically, she would have noticed his darkened eyes.

He did not reply for a long time. Only when a full minute had passed, and Qin Huang was still indulging herself in eating his tofu, did he moved down … to carry the girl in bridal style.

“Wa- hey!” Qin Huang automatically tightened her hug that was done both in instinct and out of habit. She did not look flustered at all at their ambiguous position. “Hey~ handsome~ where are you taking me?”

Her Adounis made an abrupt stop before the car door when he heard the word “handsome” come out from her sugary mouth. Although he felt that his control was about to break, he held it in.

“Taking you home.”
