Chapter 260 Handsome beauty
I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Somewhere in country C...
Earlier, when Hinari fell asleep, Zaki moved her in a comfortable position and laid her head on his lap as the car continued speeding.
Mr. Leader was quietly watching him in the rearview mirror and he was somewhat surprised on how he treats the girl. He knew their second boss, Zaki, for almost five years now. They even spar a few times before during trainings so he knew just how terrifying he was. He could hardly imagine that this man would care for another human beside their boss like this. Even though his expression was same as usual, the simple gesture he did was enough for Mr. Leader to realize that the girl was not just anybody to him.
"Boss... actually, while we were waiting inside, this girl came in with someone. She seemed to be her friend but I saw that young woman put a drug in her glass. Thankfully, she seemed smart enough to notice that something was strange in her drink so she pretended drinking it. I believe that woman was planning something to her." The man said and Zakiâs brows immediately knitted. He glanced at the girl on his lap before he took his cellphone out.
Zaki asked someone to investigate why sheâs in this country and after an hour, he received a call. Hinari was still sleeping on his lap.
"Boss, tonight is Miss Zuzuki Hinariâs engagement party." The man on the other side of the phone said and Zakiâs forehead immediately creased.
"What did you say?" He asked. His voice suddenly turned cold that the man calling could only tell him every information he gathered in one go.
"We found a footage that some body guards forced her into a plane in country H. And upon her arrival in Country C, they brought her to a hotel owned by Yang corporation. Her father wants an alliance with the Yangs so he wants his daughter to marry the Yangâs youngest son but Miss Hinari escaped before the party could start." The man said and for some reason, Zakiâs face darkened.
"Check out what happened with her grandfather and find out who was the girl sheâs with in that bar." He ordered before he ended the call. Zaki was angered with the news. He glared at the girl on his lap and he wanted to wake her up and ask her what was going on.
Unable to stay still, he dialed his grandfatherâs number.
"Hello? And what is the reason why this ungrateful grandchild of mine voluntarily called me this time?" the old man said and Zaki immediately replied.
"Grandpa, what happened to my engagement with Miss Zuzuki?" he asked. His voice was calm but impatience and curiosity were obviously noticeable in his tone.
"Sigh... my friend isnât waking up. He told me that the engagement between you and her granddaughter is still a secret. And we both planned to announce it during her birthday. But because of the unfortunate event, the announcement didnât happen." The old man explained as he sounded so downhearted.
"I am planning to celebrate your engagement when he wakes up. Anyway, why are you asking?" he asked and Zaki shifted his gaze towards the window.
"Nothing important, Iâm just curious."
"Oho... now this is rare my unromantic grandchild. Are you finally being impatient to marry her? Donât worry, donât worry, iâll do something to make sure of this to happen. I will go and visit my friend today and talk to her family..."
"Grandpa, Iâm hanging up. Iâm in the middle of a mission." He replied and he immediately ended the call.
Time passed and he received another call.
"Boss, the girl was her cousin. We found out that she put a drug in her drink before leaving her in the bar." He reported and Zaki went even angrier. He ended the call and he cracked his neck.
He couldnât believe that the people whoâs doing this to her was her very own family.
That moment, Zaki felt a strange feeling of rage in his heart and he felt like he wanted some action to express his sudden urge to beat someone.
âDamn, this is making me so angry.â He uttered within him when Mr. Leader spoke.
"Boss, are we taking her with us?" he asked and Zaki stared at her for a while before answering.
"No. Call your men to secure a hotel." He ordered and after a couple of hours, he was finally carrying her in his arms.
He slowly put her down on the bed but before he could remove his arms wrapped around her, the girl suddenly awakened.
âDid they use a short acting drug on her?â Zaki could only ask himself.
The girl then blinked as she looked at him and before Zaki could move, she reached out her hand and pulled his cheeks hard.
"Hey, stop treating my handsome face like some elastic thing." He said and Hinari was finally sure that the man holding her was no other than Mr. Handsome. She realized it as soon as she saw him simply because she didnât freak out but just to make sure she wasnât hallucinating, she pinched his cheeks hard.
"Oh, so itâs really Mr. Handsome." She said nonchalantly and Zakiâs lips curved.
"Now thatâs a great reaction Miss pervert. You didnât even freak out waking up just to realize that a man was holding you in the bed." He said and Hinari just raised her brow.
"If itâs not you, Iâm sure I immediately screamed. But oh well, I guess youâre not considered as a man in my eyes thatâs why my instinct wonât even react." She replied and Zaki couldnât help but pop some veins on his forehead.
"Youâre really trying to provoke me again huh. Even though I told you to grow up a little, Iâm kinda angry right now so donât provoke me." He said but Hinari just pulled his face closer.
"Hmmm? Mr. Handsome is angry? I wonder if youâre lying. I canât see any trace of anger in your face though. Wait, now that I could see your face close enough... I really could tell now that you really are such a beauty." She stated and Zaki could only simper. Well, he couldnât accept the term she just used to describe him.
"You... B-beauty? What are you trying to say?" he asked as he protested within him.
This pervert actually called me beauty? Thatâs the same as telling me Iâm feminine isnât it? Is this girl really blind?! This... this girl...
"Hmm? What kind of question is that? Iâm praising you of course. Donât you know how beautiful you are? Well, maybe this is also one of the reason why Iâm not wary of you. Youâre too hella handsome, too beautiful for my eyes."
She replied but Zaki wasnât pleased at all.
"Are you saying my face is not manly enough that youâre not seeing me as a man?" he asked, obviously not happy at all with her supposedly praises. His voice was still calm but annoyance was already visible in his eyes.
"Hmmm. Now that you mention it. Maybe? But Iâm telling you Mister Handsome Beauty, men will turn into beasts, ferocious beasts and some even turn into uncontrollable mad dogs when they hold a girl in this kind of situation. But youâre different, I canât feel any desire coming from you so I donât think Iâm in any danger or whatever. I wonder if I could even seduce you. Are you actually asexual?" She continued talking, still looking nonchalant and careless, making Zaki smirk as series of veins were already popping one after another on his forehead as he seemed to finally reached his limit.
"Asexual huh. Now thatâs a good question Miss Pervert. Why donât we experiment and find out if your theory is true?" He replied and something somehow jolted her. She didnât expect his counter but she immediately found a word to throw back at him.
"Maybe thatâs the best thing you could do but too bad Mister Handsome, Iâm not fond doing experiments. Why donât you experiment by yourself? Iâd be gladly accept it if you asked me to seduce you though. I bet youâre---"
Hinari couldnât finish her words, it was because all of a sudden, Zaki gripped her tighter.
"Donât say I didnât warn you little pervert." he said before he slammed his lips into hers.
