Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Ch 353: It feel funny
“Your invitation, please.”

The worker asked Zhu Li, and the older man quickly took out the envelope and handed it to the guard. It was an old-fashioned way of checking, but in Lisa’s experience, it suited this place quite well.

“Please, enjoy your visit, sir! You have a lovely companion. You like them young, eh!”

The guard teased, now giving Rika a suggestive glance as well. It made Rika’s face stiffen, but she did her best to act clueless.

That was what she requested today.

“Ah, yes! Flowers are best to rip off when they are young. Once they get older, they lose their fragrance. I would rather have them fresh than not have them at all.”

Ren Li joked back with the guard, and Rika felt irritated. She pinched Ren Li to regain his focus on what they were doing.

The older did not even make a sound, but it was clear that the message had been sent to him loud and clear.

“I should take my leave now. It seems like my young companion is getting irritated. You know how kids are – impatient and demanding when they don’t get what they want.”

Ren Li let out a small laugh at his joke before he looped his arms in Rika’s and led her inside.

“Tsk, you never told me that this was a child prostitute ring! I thought it odd that you made me dress like a kid with all these flashy colors. But did you have this all planned out as well? Just how much danger am I in?”

Rika asked, now feeling a little annoyed that she had been played.

The older dominant alpha chuckled at her expanse but looked as calm and collected as before.

“Don’t worry! You are not in any significant danger yet. I did not tell you about this place and their preferences because they did not matter. All you need to do is stay by my side and take what I give you.

You need to listen to me if you want to survive here.”

The older man’s advice and there was no lie in his voice.

He was letting Rika know how things were, which scared and annoyed her. She felt like she was being set up, which made her irritated for no reason.

“Fine! I get it! I will rely on you as much as I can. But you better keep your end of the bargain.”

Rika reminded the older, and Ren Li took out his phone to type a message.

“Done! Your friends are free now. You can meet them once you go home. Now, let’s get going.”

Ren Li held his hand out, and Rika quickly took it.

She saw something familiar walking around for a second, but that illusion was gone when Rika turned to face that way.

‘Shit! My brain is working in an overdrive right now. There is no way I just saw Emily and Damian in this place. They have no reason-‘

Those two alphas did have a reason to be here. It started with R ended with A, and had a ik in between.

Rika was afraid to be caught here, so she quickly dragged the older alpha away from this place and took him to a new place.

“Oh my! You look so eager all of a sudden. Kids sure have a lot of energy. It makes me envious of the energy in your tiny body. Would you care to share some with me?”

The older asked teasingly, only for Rika to ignore him. She did not want to talk to this man anymore. She had more than enough already.

When Rika entered the dining room, she felt a little dizzy. The room smelled pleasant, and Rika’s mind told her that she was supposed to like it. But her body continued to reject this smell.

“Shit! They brought out the big guns this time. I recognize this nectar-like smell. It’s the new sensational pheromone-like incense in the market. Don’t breathe too much of this in, kid. It can become addictive.”

The older alpha warned Rika while placing a piece of clothing against her nose to block the thick scent from her system.

It instantly made Rika feel better, but she was unsure if she could even think properly.

That scent in the air dominated all her senses, but it did not smell pleasant.

Rika kept feeling like she was going to vomit any second, and that made her body feel sick and tired.

*Sigh*

“Looks like this scent does not mesh well with you. Let’s take you to the washroom for now and make you feel better. We can return once you feel better, alright?”

Rika would not have usually shown such weakness, but she could not help it this time. Her stomach hurt, and she wanted to throw up.

She could tell that something was wrong. This pain did not feel natural to her, and she quickly dug her nails into the older alpha’s arm to indicate how bad she felt.

Ren Li did not make any alarming moments, but Rika could tell he was scared for her. There was a tiny change in how the older held Rika and held her up.

As soon as they reached the bathroom, Rika emptied her stomach. There was not much in there, but it helped Rika feel much better than before.

“Take your time, kid! There is no need to feel as if you have to push yourself. I did not bring you here to punish you after all.”

Ren Li confessed, and he seemed to feel guilty.

All this running and crying had ruined Rika’s makeup. She needed to redo it or at least get a touch-up while at it.

“Shit! I look like a freak now. Do you know anywhere on this ship where I can get it redone? I am not going to go out looking like this.”

Rika warned as she looked at her face.

This time, Ren Li had a positive answer for her.
