Without saying anything more, Nabi Yan hung up the phone and mockingly glanced at the number on the screen. Apparently, Sunny Qin was a stupid woman whose eyes were hidden by love and jealousy, and would not think with her head at all as long as she was dealing with Zoey Baker.
It would be much easier to deal with her. This time, since it was Sunny Qin’s godbrother, even if something happened, once Jerry Xiao knew about it, she had a way to put the blame on Sunny Qin. At that time, Sunny Qin is directly out of the game, she does not need to take action at all.
The banquet was luxurious and elegant. The crystal chandelier shrouded hall, are all gentlemen and celebrities, celebrities and ladies. Zoey was always by his side, her hand resting quietly on his arm, her smile quiet.
A pair of people, definitely the brightest scenery in the venue. They were like a prince and princess from a fairy tale, and Zoey couldn’t help but tilt her head to look at him, and every time she did, she was mesmerized. This man is like a vortex, even if she does nothing, she can easily attract her eyes, and she can’t let go.
He was very busy, one by one, he was overwhelmed with social engagements. Even Zoey, who followed him around, was a little dizzy from all the people coming and going, and she could remember very few faces.
“Drink less, it’s not good for you.” She warned very, very softly in his ear as he clinked glasses with someone again.
He didn’t nod or shake his head, but only took a token sip of his wine. A touch of sweetness, swirling into her chest, she smiled and averted her face, her eyes catching sight of a certain figure in the venue without a second thought.
That too was a man who stood out too much, yet was completely different from Jerry, who stood out in a wild, arrogant way. Even standing there, there wasn’t a moment’s silence. The woman cradled in her arms, shapely and graceful, was also unlike anything she had ever seen.
“Why don’t you get busy, and I’ll go to the side to get some air.” Zoey replied, whispering in his ear, her hand already withdrawn from the crook of his arm. He only nodded, unable to say anything in time before she had turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Frowning slightly. It didn’t feel good to be abandoned so decisively.
…
“Hey!” Zoey walks over and mischievously taps Sea Gu on the shoulder from behind, who facetiously feigns shock and turns her face away.
“When you just saw me, why didn’t you greet me instead of avoiding me?” Zoey narrows his eyes and glares. Looking at the girl beside him again, he smiled politely. Sea Gu hurriedly dismissed the girl beside him, “Go over there and have some drinks first, I’ll find you later. Be good …”
“Baby, you’re not leaving me behind.” The woman still refused to go, leaning coyly against his chest.
Zoey bowed her head and smiled as Sea Gu, with a look of embarrassment on her face, peeled the woman away, “Go off to the side for a while, I’ve got business here.”
Having suffered a defeat, the other party could not afford to dwell on it any longer, and could only sardonically twist and turn away.
Zoey looks at the back and smiles.
“Hey, what are you laughing at?” Sea Gu blushed. Scratch that! If he had known she would show up, he shouldn’t have listened to those assholes and pulled a random female to fill the scene. Now he was simply making himself look bad in her mind. Though, of course, he’d always had no image in her mind.
“Nothing, just thought it was kind of curious to see you show up with a woman for the first time proper. Turns out you like this one.” She laughed and teased him.
“I don’t like this one!” He retorted.
Zoey nodded, “Well … I personally think that the Ms. Hara that I saw last time might suit you a bit better than this one.” Sea Gu’s face changed dramatically, and she looked at Zoey in a bad mood , “How dare you mention that demon to me? Hmph! Last time you were so kind to leave me alone in the restaurant in such a sorry state, a whole restaurant, even the waiters looked at me and laughed! Humph! The guy who values his friends more than his color!”
At the mention of this, he simply turned his back and looked as if he didn’t care to talk to her.
At the mention of this, Zoey spat out her tongue. Hurriedly and curtly, she forked a piece of tiramisu from the side and put it on a plate, handing it to him, “I’m sorry, I know it was my fault last time, next time you’re on a blind date, and if you encounter this kind of thing again, I’ll never leave first!”
“Ch, your words have zero credibility!” He didn’t believe it, glanced at the piece of tiramisu, hid the astringency in the bottom of his heart, and said hatefully, “I can kind of see, as long as you see Jerry Xiao, you only have him in your eyes. Where else would you remember someone like me?”
Zoey blushed and gave him a slightly annoyed glare before handing over the cake again, “I promise, okay?”
Sea Gu grunted through his nose before grudgingly taking the cake, “Never mind, I’ll be a grown-up. Women are just not righteous anyway.”
He took a bite of the cake as if he were biting her, and Zoey laughed, “Cheap ass, you didn’t just not say hi to me because you were mad about that last time, did you?”
“Of … course not.” He was just watching her holding another man, smiling so charmingly, so happily. At that instant, his footsteps, inexplicably, froze there. As if, the beauty of that moment, he could only quietly, far away to appreciate.
The kind of happiness she exudes from her bones is something that no man other than Jerry Xiao could ever give in his whole life.
Thinking so, what came out of his mouth was a, “Of course. You’ve left me alone, and I’m ignoring you.”
The tone, surprisingly, was so astringent that he couldn’t hide it, and even the smile on his face felt hard. Not wanting her to see any clues, he lowered his head and ate the cake cleanly.
First discovery, sweet tooth …
It’s so, bitter … so, hard to swallow …
Looking up, he found a searching line of sight that was looking towards them. The eyes were full of possessiveness, obviously, Jerry Xiao was looking for Zoey. Sea Gu’s mischievous factor surged up again, and looked at Zoey askance, “Here, give me a hug, and I won’t be bothered with you for the last time, how’s that?”
“Hey!” Zoey gave him a blank stare. What kind of threat is that?
“Not willing?” Sea Gu glanced at the figure that took a step over not far away, and picked his lips, “Then I’ll begrudgingly take the initiative.”
As soon as he said that, Zoey didn’t have time to say anything, he put down the empty plate and went over to Zoey and hugged her tightly in his arms. The warmth of his breath rushed over, Zoey was completely confused for a moment, and before she could recover, he had already let her go and smiled harshly at her, “We’ve kissed twice, so a hug shouldn’t be a big deal. I’m leaving, just a friendly reminder: there are dangerous creatures approaching behind you.”
After throwing her a sympathetic look, he took two steps back, turned and walked away.
Zoey, you’re confused? What dangerous creature?
Before she could make sense of what was going on, she only felt a cool breeze approaching from behind. That strong male scent, surging up, made her heart beat faster, and in an instant she realized what Sea Gu had just said.
So that hug just now, he simply did it on purpose!
Before she could turn around, he clasped her hand. He pulled her along, and he was so fast that Zoey could only barely follow him, so much so that she couldn’t see his expression at the moment at all.
“Jerry, where are you taking me?” Instead of taking her out of the venue, he tore her straight into the deserted back garden.
Pursing her lips and bringing the door to the back garden closed without a word, Zoey was just about to say something when he shoved her against the wall. A coolness crossed her body as her bare back leaned against the vine-covered wall, causing her to whimper. His arm, however, had quickly come around to haul her whole body in, and the …
Without waiting to react, the fine, long kisses came like a wild wind and rain.

The moment they …
It is as if they are still young teenagers and young girls. That throbbing of the heart hides the purest and most beautiful shadow … As if, only when body and soul are deeply intertwined can the heart swell to an explosion of affection be relieved …
The feeling was so wonderful it was almost unimaginable. It wasn’t the first time he had fallen in love, but this feeling of not being able to melt her entire being into his life was a true first. Even though he had been so infatuated with Nabi Yan in the past, he had really never felt this way.
Yes, perhaps what one thought of as love in the past was nothing more than youthful infatuation and resentment in the height of anger. Otherwise, when Nabi Yan was going to marry Owen Baker, how could he have put up with it?
