His chest was too stiff and hard for her head to be comfortable. âMo Jiangye...â
Lawyer Zhang hurriedly flipped the gun and hid it behind his back...
Clinging to her head, Ye Erruo pushed him away as she shot him a glare. âWhat do you think you are doing?â
He caressed her head and consoled her. âI was afraid this might have scared you.â
Lawyer Zhang slowly shifted himself sideways until he was standing in front of the dead man on the floor. He was trying to shield her from the ugly sight with his body.
Yao Tiao was still in shock as she gulped down nervously her saliva. This was the first time she had met someone as high-handed as this.
âWhy didnât you pick up my call?â Mo Jiangye asked his woman. If she had answered his call, he would have allowed her to gallivant the day away as long as she returned home at night. However, if she ignored his calls, he would unconsciously think that she had walked away from him again.
âYao Tiao had my phone, so I didnât get your call.â
Her friend panicked the moment the man turned his gaze on her. Instantly, she shoved her bag at Ye Erruo. âHere, here. Take it. You can have it.â
She hurriedly threw the entire bag at Ye Erruo. Antagonizing Boss Mo would be problematic, but to die accidentally would be so... unjust.
His woman pursed her lips in displeasure and gave him a shove at the same time. âLook at what youâve done.â
âIt wasnât me,â he answered solemnly.
Not far from them, Jing Xinze stood and looked at the group furiously. This man is too insolent!
âMo Jiangye, you have killed the representative of the Blue Tower. Are you openly declaring war against our royalty?â
The man did not reply. He merely busied himself adjusting Ye Erruoâs collar. Nobody could bully his people or act conceited in front of him or her. No one was allowed to offend his woman or gossip behind her back. He would protect her with all he had for the rest of her life. As long as he was around, the Blue Tower would be no exception.
âWe can have lunch now. What do you want to eat today?â he asked his woman softly while ignoring his enemyâs taunts.
âLetâs have roast duck, Chief! This place is a long way from home. Surely, youâll let me have a good meal before I leave?â
The woman stole a sidelong glance at the dead man lying on the floor and twitched her lips. âLetâs have roast duck then.â
It appeared that there was no need for her to make a personal trip to the Enchantress Bar in the first place. Her man was powerful enough to uphold her.
Thus, the group walked away from the scene nonchalantly to have lunch.
Gu Feirou, who had long expected this outcome, was incensed and jealous at the same time as she watched them walking away. What does Ye Erruo have that makes a man like Mo Jiangye love her so much?
âDidnât I tell you that you wouldnât be able to beat this man? Getting someone from the Blue Tower was unnecessary. You have just slapped your own face with this move. This is Mo Jiangyeâs territory, not the Blue Towerâs! Next time, make sure you know what youâre getting into before you plot, alright?â She stomped off after shoving her guard aside.
Jing Xinzeâs face was cold and sullen as he glanced at the man on the floor before catching up with his charge.
Meanwhile, at the roast duck place...
Lawyer Zhang was hurdling over his laptop on the side as they waited for their meal.
âAlright, Chief. Everyone is present now,â he told his boss.
âGood.â
âIs anybody coming?â asked Yao Tiao.
The lawyer turned the monitor to face Ye Erruo all of a sudden. âCome on, show your respect to your sister-in-law,â he said into the laptop.
âHow are you, sister-in-law?â
Waves of voices could be heard from the machine.
Her hand, which was holding a cup, jerked momentarily as she saw the bobbing heads covering the screen...
Mo Jiangye put his arm around her shoulders and took her into his embrace as he introduced them. âCome and meet my lover.â
