Chapter 947 As long as you become mine (2)

So she thought, having stirred the entertainment industry upside down, Lake probably had no clue at all.

At least from his behavior, there was nothing indicating otherwise.

"Miss Xiao, where would you like to go?" In the car, Lake asked.

Xiao Man didn’t answer but instead asked, "Has Mr. Li contacted you?"

"No," Lake answered truthfully, "The sir has been negotiating a batch of arms recently."

"En?"

"Sir ordered me to tell you this if Miss Xiao asked."

"Oh..." Xiao Man smiled.

It wasn’t out of politeness.

She understood him. Since he let Lake tell her this, then he really was handling that matter.

Lake suddenly told her this probably because of her earlier question when she was asking about Li Sinian’s whereabouts.

"Is it difficult? He hasn’t come back for so long, hasn’t he encountered any problems?" Xiao Man casually asked.

With Li Sinian’s efficiency, handling such matters wouldn’t require multiple visits unless he indeed encountered tricky issues.

Sometimes Xiao Man was curious about their affairs and would ask a few questions because Li Sinian never hid these from her; therefore, Lake believed it was permissible for Xiao Man to ask anything, and he always told her the truth.

"En," Lake nodded, "I only know that the other party is also a tough person to deal with; I’m not sure about the specifics, I’ve always stayed in Xicheng."

Indeed, Lake now stays away from those matters, having only the task of protecting Xiao Man, knowing even this much was already a lot.

He is one of Li Sinian’s most trusted subordinates. By leaving him by Xiao Man’s side, he could feel relieved to leave.

"Let’s go to the Las Vegas Underground City."

Lake looked up, glanced at the rearview mirror, and said: "Miss Xiao, crowded places are not safe."

He currently only knew Xiao Man as a celebrity, and going to crowded places could incite chaos.

Moreover, when there are too many people, it’s often difficult to control the situation, and Xiao Man doesn’t like them being too close; thus, they can only hide in the shadows. Usually, it’s fine, but in a place like the Underground City, where it’s teeming with mixed crowds, once there’s a bit of squeezing during a sudden incident, they simply can’t reach her in time.

"Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you, I won’t go to the dance floor. I’ll just go upstairs to find a room to rest a bit, wait for a friend. She will come later, we are going to celebrate our birthday together."

If Li Sinian were here, she definitely wouldn’t go to places he disagreed with.

However, sometimes Xiao Man would also win, and he would indulge her.

Now that Li Sinian is not around, Xiao Man’s word is the command.

...

Las Vegas Underground City is like night even during the day, operating 24 hours.

The dance floor is always the liveliest spot, with the DJ playing the most upbeat dance music.

Upon entering Las Vegas, one feels an immediate sense of relaxation.

In this darkness, very few people would notice her face.

Probably, also because people don’t generally expect Xiao Man to appear in such places.

"Miss Xiao—" Lake shouted a bit louder, "In this particular situation, please allow us to stay closer."

"Got it—" Xiao Man nonchalantly raised her hand and waved towards the back, "Follow as you like."

Having passed the cheerful area of the dance floor, Xiao Man unconsciously stopped.

Yet, afraid that Lake would worry, she dismissed the idea of going in to relax.

"I’ll just rest inside, if there’s anything I will call you, no one should disturb me. My friend will call me before she arrives, I’ll handle it myself."
