Chapter 123
123 My Chen-ge doesn’t care about my background
From the way, these two were interacting with each other Ikeda Cresta could tell that his sister had no chance here but when he glanced over in her direction he saw a familiar stubborn look in her eyes. She wouldn’t throw a fit in public but she would most certainly cause trouble.
He tapped her foot with his leg trying to grasp her attention and tell her to stand down but she didn’t even look at him. It was as though he was non-existent. In fact, her mouth that had been courteous just now suddenly turned venomous.
She seemed calm and eloquent as she spoke but her words were quite unsightly coming from a lady.
“I have never seen you before. Which family do you belong to?... I don’t mean to be rude but I was under the impression that this gathering was for the prestigious families in the federation. This is why I am quite curious,” she said with a soft voice that if it weren’t for her words she would put one under a spell.
Hearing this Yi Chen’s expression darkened. He couldn’t tolerate anyone speaking to Zi Han like that. He clenched his fist underneath the table and was about to say something when Zi Han burst into laughter.
You would think he would be offended by her but no. It was genuine laughter free of any contempt or malice. Zi Han found it very funny that he was being targeted because she thought he was her love rival. How ridiculous.
Since she wanted to play that game then he would be the best love shield on the market. With a bashful smile, he tucked his hair behind his ear and licked his lower lip while leaning close to Yi Chen.
His arms wrapped around Yi Chen’s waist he said, “My Chen-ge doesn’t care about my background
,” staring into the man’s eyes with a smitten look. He turned to look at her with a smile so bright like he was the least bit offended by her contemptuous look. “So what’s it to you?”
.....
A clinking sound of cutlery dropping on the floor attracted Zi Han’s attention. He looked in that direction and Yi Feng stared at the hands wrapped on Yi Chen’s waist all wide-eyed.
The corner of Yi Chen’s lips quirked up slightly as he nervously placed his hand on Zi Han’s back before drawing him close. The two really looked like a perfect couple ordained by the heavens.
“Fuck!” swore Yi Feng as he bend down to pick up the fork. What he had witnessed was so terrifying that he could barely breathe. He was terrible at keeping secrets but he was also afraid that Yi Chen would skin him alive if he so much as opened his mouth. Thus he vowed to avoid his auntie for the next couple of days.
Several other guests couldn’t resist glancing over in that direction. Most girls had agreed to come here because on the guest list were several eligible bachelors with Yi Chen being the most sought after. But after getting here they realized he was not only targeted by Ikeda Yua but the man already found someone.
Since that route had been closed and none of them were willing to swim in muddy waters they gave up changing their target to the next best thing. Yi Feng who had just dropped a fork on the ground had attracted their attention. Thus the piranhas changed their target.
Unfortunately, they were bound to be disappointed. That’s because Yi Feng was already someone else’s prey.
When Yi Feng got up he placed the fork on the counter and looked up only to find a very pretty girl with a timid smile walking over. She shyly tucked her hair behind her ear and then said, “I,.... I heard you had a night club but I didn’t think you would personally make drinks today. It’s such an honor....”
Before she could even finish her sentence the loud sound of someone sucking liquids at the bottom of a glass through a straw startled her. She looked at Leila who was sitting cross-legged on a bar stool and her brow creased fleetingly.
With a loud click of her tongue, Leila looked up and asked, “Do you have some lipstick?”
The girl’s eyes widened slightly not sure where this conversation was going.
“Wha....,” she asked while stroking the ends of her hair.
“Lip. Stick... are you deaf?” asked Leila while snapping her fingers.
The girl was a little on the timid side so she softly said, “Oh,” before taking out a gold cylindrical-shaped device and handing it to her.
Leila took it from her and said, “Uh, Ruoxi..... not bad.” That was one of Lin Ruoxi’s side projects. She made luxury makeup products in Capital Star using ancient techniques from old earth and they were extremely popular in her circle.
The girl could clearly hear the husky undertones in Leila’s voice that made her ears itch. She thanked her but her expression soon froze when Leila got up and beckoned Yi Feng over with her index finger.
Yi Feng had a terrible premonition so he asked, “What?” but he still took a step forward.
As soon as he got into reach she clutched Yi Feng’s collar and pulled him towards her before writing on his forehead ‘TAKEN’ in capital letters with expensive lipstick.
After she was done she put on the lipstick on her lips before placing her hand on Yi Feng’s left cheek and pulling him closer.
She pressed her bright red lips on Yi Feng’s right cheek and left a dazzling kiss mark that was easy to spot from afar. Yi Feng was frozen in place regretting his decision to drink alcohol with this psycho.
Now he was Leila’s target. He was also afraid that it wouldn’t take long before he was thoroughly bent. Leila always got her man no matter what.
The girl was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and turned to leave but before he took a step forward, Leila stopped her.
“Here, scan this code so I can compensate you... For the lipstick,” explained Leila after seeing her puzzled expression. She scanned the code and realized that Leila had transferred double the amount but she couldn’t bring herself to be happy about it. She was disappointed having failed to fulfill her promise to her mother.
She wanted to capture a big fish and make her father proud. As an illegitimate daughter she was under so much pressure unfortunately she didn’t even have an opportunity to leave an impression.
Yi Feng touched his forehead while asking, “Did you have to brand me? This lipstick is the long lasting matte kind. I can’t go home like this. My mum will nag me.”
