Chapter 88 Caught Again
At the banquet, Qiao Susu yawned delicately and felt a little bored.
Munakata noticed that the arm that had been wrapped around her waist had tightened a bit and he looked down and asked, "Tired?"
"My legs are a little sore."
"I told you not to wear these shoes." The man lectured her gently, but immediately put down the goblet and bent down to hug her. Qiao Susu was startled and quickly patted his shoulder to stop him.
"Aren't you tired?"
"That can't be done. There are so many people watching here." Her face felt a little hot. She had just gotten used to everyone's gaze, but now she felt a little uncomfortable again.
Munakata showed no temper towards her. He snapped his fingers at the attendant, then threw him a card and ordered, "Buy me a few pairs of comfortable women's flat shoes."
Qiao Suisui poked her head out and said, "One pair is enough. I'm not a centipede."
Zong Fang glared at her with his eyelids drooping, a faint smile on his lips, and said, "You are not a centipede, you are a pest."
The attendant didn't dare delay and immediately went to do it. Meanwhile, Qiao Suisui was taken to the VIP room to rest. Zong Fang wanted to go up with her, but was stopped by several orcs who rushed up and said they wanted to discuss funding projects with him. Zong Fang was about to say no, but when he saw Qiao Suisui's smiling face, he remembered that his excuse for bringing her here was to solicit investment, and if he said it directly now, it would be exposed. So the man clenched his fist and coughed, then patiently began to listen to the group's nonsense.
Qiao Suisui went up to the second floor and entered a luxuriously decorated VIP room. She sat down on the leather sofa and immediately felt sleepy. She had been very tired recently, and while her pregnancy hadn't had any adverse effects, she had been a bit sleepy. Unconsciously, she propped her head up and noddidn't know what to do, and soon she fell asleep. Then the VIP room door opened a crack, and a pair of black suit trousers stepped through the door.
At the same time, in the first-floor hall of the banquet hall, a female standing in the corner covered her face with a feather fan and kept looking at Zongfang's back. The male companion next to her whispered something in her ear in a flattering way. The female approached Zongfang with a wine glass in hand, and when she came to the front, she pretended to be unsteady and spilled the wine on the front of his shirt.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry Dr. Munakata, I didn't mean it."
The female looked so pitiful that the orcs surrounding Zongfang all showed sympathy. They thought this female was doomed. Dr. Zongfang was notorious for his lack of sympathy for women, and he was already married. What was he thinking about seducing her so openly?
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Munakata not only did not lose his temper, but he kept staring at the female.
The female blushed as she was stared at, and a lot of fantasies suddenly emerged in her mind. This man in front of her was so handsome that she couldn't take her eyes off him. Could he really be attracted to her?
The other male orcs were also a little surprised, thinking that Zongfang had taken a fancy to this female. They exchanged glances very quickly, and read in each other's eyes "See, all men are the same."
The female was a little bolder now. She raised her eyes timidly, with a coquettish expression on her face that the male couldn't refuse: "Dr. Munakata, I can give you this shirt as compensation."
After saying that, the man suddenly smiled and walked towards her step by step. This smile made the female a little dumbfounded. How could there be such a handsome man?
However, she woke up the next second.
Because her head and face were all covered in red wine, which kept flowing down her hair to her cheeks and neck, making it sticky and dirty, and even stained her skirt.
The female screamed, her eyes wide open as she watched in disbelief as Zongfang raised his arm and poured wine over her head.
"Compensation? What compensation? With a face so thick with foundation that it's cracked?"
The female was humiliated, covering her face and running away crying. Her male companion quickly chased after her to comfort her. The other beastmen watched in shock, some even looking at Zongfang with condemnation. How could someone treat a female so rudely? Aren't they afraid of being sentenced? Others whispered, "Do you think he'll commit domestic violence?" "Oh my God, will he really be liked by his mate? Won't he be abandoned?" "Yeah, that little female looks so fragile, why would she like a male like that? How unmannerly."
Zongfang paid no attention to the comments. He glanced down at his shirt, which was now stained with wine. He tutted, turned his neck, undid his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons, adding a touch of sexiness to his appearance. But those who knew him well knew that he was very unhappy at the moment.
Qiao Qiao helped him put on this outfit before he went out.
The male orc who was just chatting was trying to say something, but when he saw Zongfang's cold silver eyes, he forgot what he wanted to say.
"Well, let's talk next time, Dr. Munakata."
Zongfang turned away impatiently, striding towards the VIP room on the second floor.
In the VIP room, Qiao Susu woke up slowly and saw Lan Ze sitting quietly on the floor in front of the sofa. He had been watching her for as long as she had slept.
"Lan Ze? How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up?" She rubbed her eyes and sat up and asked.
"I just got here and I don't want to disturb you."
The two had been apart for a while, and for a while they felt a little unfamiliar. Qiao Sui Sui felt that they were a little awkward when they were silent. Lan Ze sensed it, smiled gently, and took the initiative to speak: "Sui Sui, how have you been recently?"
"Well, I opened a hotel with the house you took me to see, so that I can spend the money I earn. Recently, I also went to study at AOIS." Qiao Suisui shared a lot of things about her school with Lan Ze. Lan Ze listened carefully and attentively, and from time to time he looked at her with a gentle smile, and was really happy for her.
"I've always known that Sui Sui is very brave. It seems that she has been growing up a lot during this period."
Qiao Susu felt a little embarrassed by his praise, but she felt warm in her heart. She also sat on the ground like Lan Ze and chatted with him shoulder to shoulder. The atmosphere between the two was youthful and beautiful, like old friends meeting again after a long separation.
"What about you? Where have you been all this time?"
Lan Ze smiled and told her about his experiences in the Freedom Alliance, omitting the words of the mysterious old man. His voice was captivating, but unlike Luka's deep voice, it was incredibly comforting, like a fire in the fireplace on a winter day or wind chimes under the eaves in summer. It always gave people a sense of just the right balance, a delicate and warm feeling.
Qiao Suisui couldn't help but feel a little curious as she listened to him describe the Freedom Alliance. The two of them chatted and laughed, with Lan Ze telling her own embarrassing stories, which made Qiao Suisui burst into surprise and laughter.
Outside the VIP room, Zong Fang was holding a pair of exquisite flat shoes in his hanging hands. He was standing quietly outside the door with his head down so that his expression could not be seen.
