Subordinate Doting - Chap 112
Ji Tingyu half-squinted at him and said, “Mr. Jennifer, although flirting like this is indeed exciting, we have a mission tonight.”
He called He Zhuo’s pseudonym tonight.
He Zhuo replied fluently: “I see, Miss Aisha, I think you should go and have some cakes.”
There was a circle of girls surrounding the buffet counter, all of them were the guests’ female companions. They had just seen with their own eyes one of the ladies chatting up the arms dealer.
Ji Tingyu spotted the target and signaled him to act separately.
”Miss, let me help you take off your coat.”
The waiter enthusiastically put his hand on Ji Tingyu’s shoulder.
He Zhuo noticed something out of the corner of his eye and raised his arm to block it: “No, I can do it myself.”
He approached from behind and squeezed the cat’s shoulders with both hands as if he was hugging her, reminding him to carefully distinguish whether there was any scent of an arms dealer on the woman.
Seeing this, everyone in the field looked at them sideways.
Two outstanding unfamiliar faces, behaving intimately yet high-profile, coupled with He Zhuo’s inherent aristocratic aura, had already attracted the attention of half the audience before they even entered.
”Don’t be too ostentatious.” Ji Tingyu warned him.
It’s not a good thing to attract too much attention in such occasions.
”You’re just too nervous.”
He Zhuo lifted a strand of his long hair and put it to his nose to smell it.
”In this kind of situation, the real problem is that the dandies who are stupid and rich are too low-key. They want to write “I am rich” on their faces to make up for their pitiful intelligence. They are so stupid that people pity them.”
Ji Tingyu was suddenly speechless: “…”
”I don’t want to talk to you for another minute.”
It turns out that when I was a kid, I accompanied my father to a cocktail party. In order not to show my timidity, I spent a long time in front of the mirror to learn how to walk with my head held high. In the eyes of the real rich, I looked so stupid that I was pitiful!
Love it or not! I am so annoyed!
He Zhuo didn’t understand where this unexpected disaster came from, but when he saw Xiaomao’s sour face and shameful look of “a hero doesn’t brag about his past achievements”, he immediately understood what he meant.
”Of course, this kind of thing also depends on the person.”
”People who are born with a stupid face will always look stupid no matter how hard they try, and people won’t even want to deceive them.”
The cat looked completely uninterested, its ears trembling wildly: “But what? What about the second half? Come on!”
He Zhuo said slowly: “But those with pretty faces are different.”
Of course they are different. The cat raised its chin with pride, with a smug expression as if it was about to praise me: What’s the difference?
He Zhuo: “They are stupid in a more sophisticated way. They have a kind of innocent cuteness that makes people want to trick them home at first sight, and the chances of success are very high.”
Ji Tingyu: “…………?”
”All you’re saying is that I’m easy to deceive!”
”You’re done, He Zhuo. Don’t even think about getting into my bed tonight!”
”In the bathroom, then.”
He Zhuo took off his coat and handed it to the waiter. In full view of everyone, he pinched his chin, leaned over and kissed him.
“Hmm—”
Ji Tingyu was caught off guard and was dumbfounded.
I never expected him to be so bold, and in panic I reached out and pushed him in the chest.
But suddenly, an irresistible force came up from his lower back, pressing his hands firmly behind his back.
”Leader, you should be more relaxed at this time.”
He Zhuo pressed the back of his head to deepen the kiss, and used the tip of his tongue to trace the outline of his lips. The familiar wetness soothed the cat’s emotions.
Let him relax, use his animal instincts to the fullest, and feel the ever-changing wind and grass movements around him.
For example, there were bursts of whistles in the banquet hall, and someone said in an obscure Western accent: This girl is so hot.
The other person replied: Go away, you are just a pair of wild and unruly mandarin ducks.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of four or five rustling footsteps were heard in the shadows on the west side of the hall, less than two meters away from the exit.
Ji Tingyu suddenly realized what was going on and looked at He Zhuo in shock: Is someone targeting us?
He Zhuo said nothing, withdrew his tongue, stretched out his hand to run over the sparkling water on the kitten’s mouth, picked up a glass of ice wine from the champagne tower and handed it to him.
”Drink a little.”
Miss Aisha’s character is to enjoy any eye-catching and unrestrained behavior at the cocktail party, rather than being like Ji Tingyu, whose cheeks turn red after being bitten twice.
He needed to cool his face quickly.
He Zhuo led him to the dark exit behind the flower hall, sniffing the scent left by those people.
”Lions, anacondas, whales… all are above 2S. This is not the Western way of hospitality.”
If he hadn’t just attracted all the guests’ attention to the two of them, if all these people had rushed out together, they would have been injured if not killed.
”When did they target us?”
”Get out of the car and start.”
”What’s the purpose?”
”It depends on whose place it is tonight.”
He Zhuo handed him a small cake, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips twice, and looked up at the arms dealer.
”Are you planning to kill him this time?”
”pretty close.”
That’s not certain enough.
He Zhuo thought for two seconds and said, “If he was careful enough, he should be familiar with everyone who came to the banquet and match their identities with their faces. So our identities were problematic from the beginning.”
The gluttonous Count and the gold-digger, seemingly stupid characters, actually contain many details: the arrogant demeanor, the desire for money in their eyes, and the dressing with jewels and precious stones as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are rich.
The last point alone has nothing to do with the glass bug on Ji Tingyu’s ankle, which is obviously bound to arouse suspicion.
”Depend on……”
An absurd guess flashed through Ji Tingyu’s mind: “No way, again?”
The monkey’s body is not even cold yet, and the new undercover agent has already taken over?
”Don’t be too pessimistic. Maybe it’s not a principled mistake. Even if it is, it has nothing to do with your press department. This is something Howard needs to worry about.”
