C2 Leaving for a While

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on your stuff for you."

"Thanks, boss."

Soong Qian walked past him and headed straight for the restroom. Once inside, she leaned over the sink, splashing cold water onto her face repeatedly. On stage, she had to wear heavy makeup for the performance, which she really disliked. So, after every show, she made a beeline for the restroom to wash it all off.

She pulled out her makeup remover from her bag and wiped away the layers in front of the mirror. Afterward, she washed her face several more times, the icy water feeling incredibly refreshing.

Suddenly, she sensed a strong presence behind her, carrying the scent of alcohol and an air of authority mixed with a chill. Startled, Soong Qian quickly turned around.

There stood a tall, straight-backed man. His eyes, dark and bright like obsidian, radiated a cool indifference, with a sharpness lurking beneath their seemingly calm surface. His strikingly handsome face, with its chiseled features, exuded an imposing aura, reminiscent of a tiger on the prowl in the savannah, full of danger.

A faint scent of alcohol lingered around him, immediately picked up by Soong Qian's sensitive nose. It seemed like he'd had quite a bit to drink. Sunn Yuanhann's gaze was intense as he looked at Soong Qian, his deep, brooding eyes giving the impression he wanted to tear her apart, causing her to take a fearful step back.

Soong Qian spoke hesitantly, her voice stumbling in a way that was nothing like her confident stage presence. "Um... sir, this is the ladies' room."

"I know."

Yuanhann stepped forward, his deep eyes fixed on her, his dark pupils unsettling. For reasons she couldn't understand, Soong Qian's eyes suddenly filled with panic. The air around her was thick with the mix of his masculine scent and alcohol, making her head spin. He was too close, close enough for her to hear his breathing clearly.

Fear gripped her, and she wanted to retreat, but she inadvertently bumped into the sink behind her, wincing in pain as her brows furrowed.

"You're very beautiful."

Yuanhann's voice came from above, cold and detached. She froze, staring up at him in a daze.

However, what she saw wasn't the handsome face of a man, but rather an enlarged visage with bronzed skin hiding a flush beneath, eyes sharp like a lion spotting its prey. Sunn Yuanhann suddenly leaned in close, his gaze dark and intense, his features exuding a fierce energy.

Soong Qian had the unsettling feeling that this man might strangle her in the next moment. As she was still in a daze, Sunn Yuanhann's face suddenly descended, his moist lips capturing hers in a fierce kiss, swallowing all the words she wanted to say.

Her head was held in place by his large hands, the strong masculine scent accompanying the almost rough kiss. Soong Qian's eyes widened in shock, staring at the man whose eyes were as deep as black holes, his breath, laced with alcohol, nearly suffocating her.

The space between them was almost nonexistent, their breaths mingling on her face, carrying the warmth of alcohol and tobacco, painting her cheeks with a blush as her heartbeat spiraled out of control.
