Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Hai City.

Jiguang Bar on Yulan Street.

The dim lights mixed with restlessness, and the deafening music intertwined with desire.

In the dance floor, a variety of short skirts and black stockings swayed competitively.

At VIP seat number 7, Lu Xiao, in full camouflage combat gear, stood out like a sore thumb with a dark green backpack half his height next to him, completely out of place with his surroundings.

"This is indeed thrilling!" Lu Xiao couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the ladies in the dance floor let loose.

This was his first time witnessing such a scene.

He was an orphan, and from a young age, he had followed his master in the mountains to learn his skills.

Upon reaching the age of eighteen, his master threw him into the army.

Five years of military life were spent either training or executing missions on the borders or in war zones.

In a world of gunfire and cannon fire, where was the time for hot songs and sexy dances? There were plenty of lost limbs, though.

Back in the military, he'd often hear the guys talk about how incredible the nightclubs in Hai City were.

And now, fresh from his discharge, he came straight here to experience it for himself.

Of course, his master said he had found him in Hai City, so it was also an opportunity to see if he could learn something about his own past.

After enjoying the spectacle for about half an hour, Lu Xiao felt an itch to join in.

"Why not, I might as well hit the dance floor!"

He wasn't trying to take advantage, he was genuinely interested in the technique of club dancing.

Later on, he could dance on his master's grave in tribute.

Just as Lu Xiao was about to stand up, there was a snap, and the bar's lights suddenly brightened as if it were daylight.

The previously roaring music also stopped, and the DJ on the second floor scratched the deck a few times before leaning into the microphone, "Let's warmly welcome the supreme VIP Mr. Xu Tian. Tonight, all the drinks are on Mr. Xu!"

No sooner had the DJ finished speaking than a spotlight shot through the venue, finally settling on a young man in a white suit.

A huge cheer erupted in the bar.

Some of the girls in the dance floor looked towards the young man in white, their gazes filled with longing.

"What does it take to become a supreme VIP?"

"At least twenty million, I'd say!"

"Does any handsome guy here know the story behind Mr. Xu? If I become Mrs. Xu, there will be a big reward!"

"Dream on, Mr. Xu is here for Miss Qin of the bar."

The surrounding chatter also amazed Lu Xiao; it appeared that the cliché of a rich young master throwing money to win a beauty's smile actually existed.

Twenty million—how many bullets could that make, how many enemies could that down?

"Thank you, Mr. Xu," the second floor DJ's voice rang out again, "for buying all 99 roses in the venue, which are still meant for our Miss Qin."

The crowd was abuzz.

Jiguang Bar provided 99 roses every day, each costing twenty thousand, totaling nearly two million.

Buying a single rose for someone was already a grand gesture, let alone buying them all at once.

"I heard that every time Mr. Xu comes, he buys all the roses for Miss Qin."

"We're in for a treat today! The bar's rule is that if a guest buys all the roses, Miss Qin will personally come to thank them."

"Here she comes, over there by the staircase, wow, she's gorgeous!"

Lu Xiao also looked towards the staircase along with everyone else.

The woman wore a black evening dress with a gold decorative belt around her waist, the style simple yet majestic, radiating a queenly aura.

Her hair was casually pinned up, revealing a smooth, delicate neck and finely sculpted, flawless features.

Her figure made all the women in the bar green with envy; although she was slender, she stood tall at 1.7 meters and had curves in all the right places.

Lu Xiao's attention, however, was entirely focused on the woman's chest where a transparent, full, white... teardrop-shaped jade pendant hung.

With Lu Xiao's keen eyesight, he could even make out the character "Yu" engraved in the bottom right corner of the jade pendant.

That single character "Yu" made Lu Xiao shiver.

When his master had found him, there had been a palm-sized jade token in his swaddling clothes, and on the bottom right corner of that token, there was also the character "Yu."

Moreover, Lu Xiao was certain that the two "Yu" characters were identical.

Could this woman be related to his past?

As Lu Xiao was considering how to approach the woman, she had already walked down the stairs, stopping right beside his VIP seat.

Xu Tian also approached then.

"Youling," Xu Tian said, beaming with a smile.

Qin Youling glanced at Xu Tian, her tone somewhat cool, "Young Master Xu, I've already said that there's no need to buy flowers for me. I will not accept them."

In the face of Qin Youling's indifference, Xu Tian wasn't angered, "No worries, no worries. If you don't like them, we can give them away to the customers later."

Qin Youling's brows furrowed slightly, her voice showing a hint of irritation, "Xu Tian, I've told you many times; I'm not interested in you. You're not my type!"

However, even with Qin Youling being so openly unwelcoming, Xu Tian still maintained his bright smile.

"It's okay, Youling; you'll grow to like it eventually."

"If that's really not possible, just tell me what type you like, and I'll work hard to become that type for you."

On his seat, Lu Xiao grinned, baring his teeth. He had initially thought this would be a story of "rich young master lavishly woos a beauty, who coyly reciprocates with a shallow smile," but it turned out to be "devoted suitor meets decisive rejection"...

Hearing the laughter, Qin Youling turned and glared fiercely at Lu Xiao, her eyes filled with annoyance.

What are you laughing at, can't you see I'm being annoyed to death here?!

But the next second, Qin Youling's bright eyes narrowed, and stretching out an arm, she pointed at Lu Xiao.

"No need, I already have a boyfriend."

"It's him!"

With that said, Qin Youling sat down close to Lu Xiao, wrapping her arms around his arm.
