Chapter 55 Master
"Thank you for the compliment, Admiral."
Cheng Yi remained indifferent, and the strength of the big hands around Lu Qian increased by two points, as if to declare his sovereignty.
Lu Qian quietly glanced at the Capitol building standing outside the window.
She has seen too much of the world recently with Cheng Yi.
"What did you see again?"
Cheng Yi suddenly came up to Lu Qian and looked out following her gaze.
Lu Qian glanced in Vincenzo's direction in panic.
She looked at him secretly because she was afraid of embarrassing Cheng Yi, but why did he come closer?
Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian's awkward expression and chuckled dotingly, "Vincenzo doesn't understand Chinese. You can speak, but he won't understand."
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi and deliberately lowered his excited voice: "Um, the German Reichstag."
Cheng Yi smiled, "You know quite a lot."
Lu Qian's eyes widened and he asked, "Is Jiang Luan a German?"
"He's mixed-race and was raised in his mother's home, so he got a Chinese name," Cheng Yi explained, then his tone suddenly changed. "Why are you asking him?"
"..." Lu Qian rolled his eyes at Cheng Yi speechlessly, "What can I do? Just asking."
Cheng Yi didn't buy Lu Qian's story at all. "You don't have to remember those people's affairs from now on. Just remember mine."
"you……"
Just as Lu Qian was about to rebuke Cheng Yi, Admiral Vincenzo chuckled and said, "You two are truly very affectionate."
Lu Qian didn't understand what was said and blinked at Cheng Yi in confusion.
Cheng Yi's golden brown eyes were covered with a layer of euphemism, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He looked at Lu Qian and replied softly in Italian: "Yes."
The car slowly stopped and the deputy general respectfully opened the door.
"General, Master Cheng, please."
Lu Qian adjusted her skirt and got out of the car.
Looking up, the Baroque palace is magnificent and the courtyard in front of the palace is quiet and peaceful, making this complex and exquisite building even more luxurious.
A group of elegantly dressed princes and nobles walked from the quiet path to the relief gate. Each of them had an extraordinary figure and a different demeanor.
Cheng Yi took Lu Qian's hand and let her hold it in his arms.
"You just need to stand beside me, and greet the people I respond to. Don't pay attention to the rest."
When Lu Qian heard Cheng Yi's words, he felt more confident. He took a deep breath and straightened his demeanor.
"Um."
The extremely prosperous Rococo art style in the palace is enough to show the splendor of royal life.
The banquet has already begun. The court orchestra in the main hall on the first floor is playing melodious and elegant music. The nobles in the hall gather in twos and threes, drinking slowly and expressing their feelings over the wine.
Amidst the lively conversation and laughter, all kinds of beauties, fine wines, and piles of chips on the gambling table that replaced high stakes all became tools to liven up the party.
Lu Qian finally deeply understood the meaning of the four words "debauchery and extravagance".
As soon as Cheng Yi appeared at the door of the reception room, everyone looked at him sideways.
Even those who didn't know his identity would have known what was going on when they saw Admiral Vincenzo's personal troops respectfully clearing the way for Cheng Yi.
But Cheng Yi's gaze did not linger on anyone for even a moment, and everyone understood his intention and did not come forward.
Vanessa walked out from the side hall, and her graceful figure made the men at the banquet salivate.
When he walked in front of Cheng Yi, he bowed as if he had accomplished something.
Cheng Yi nodded slightly without saying much.
"Admiral Vincenzo, long time no see."
Vanessa stood up gracefully, walked forward slowly, put her slender hand on Vincenzo's shoulder, and said coquettishly.
Vincenzo seemed to enjoy it very much. He put his arm around Vanessa's waist and said, "Miss Vanessa, it's been a few years since we last met. You look even more charming than before."
Vanessa looked at the guards behind Vincenzo, her brows flickering as she leaned over to his ear and whispered, "You have to try it to know something about charm."
Those seductive eyes swept over every man behind her without hesitation.
Those with weak willpower had their cheeks flushed and were trying hard to clamp their legs together.
“Hahahahahahahaha——”
Vincenzo embraced Vanessa ambiguously, his big hands swept across her plump waist and hips, and walked into the living room with a big laugh.
"They are..."
Lu Qian was a little confused about the current situation.
Cheng Yi calmly uttered two words: "Friend."
"Wow..." Lu Qian exclaimed in amazement, "So friends are... like this?"
Looking at the little white rabbit in front of him who seemed to find it difficult to accept the reality, Cheng Yi raised his hand to cover the corner of his upturned mouth, stretched out his big hand, and put it around Lu Qian's waist. His hot fingertips lightly brushed across her hip, igniting the burning fire.
"So what do you say I am to you?"
“…” Lu Qian’s body stiffened and his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Hmm?" Cheng Yi persisted. "What is it?"
Lu Qian angrily squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Friend!"
"So we're just friends?" Cheng Yi bent down slightly, leaned close to the blushing face of the embarrassed girl, and breathed into her crystal earlobe. "Shouldn't it be... the master?"
“!!!”
Lu Qian felt as if he had touched a hundred thousand volts of high voltage electricity, and his rationality was shattered by Cheng Yi's words.
Cheng Yi glanced sideways and saw that smoke was coming out of Lu Qian's head again.
"Ahem." A smile appeared on Cheng Yi's stern face. "Let's go, little maid."
“…”
Lu Qian decided to poison Cheng Yi's midnight snack after returning to Tavia Mansion. If the poison didn't kill him, he would at least give him a laxative.
Along the way, many people came to toast Cheng Yi with wine glasses, but he rarely responded.
Tilting the wine glass in your hand and tapping it lightly is the highest courtesy.
But no one complained about the man's arrogance and indifference. Instead, they retreated respectfully, as if they were regretting their own incompetence.
Lu Qian could only try to remain calm, for fear of embarrassing Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi's hands were always on Lu Qian's sides, supporting her weight.
Cheng Yi held a goblet in his hand, stood in the middle of the crowd, and nodded casually.
Suddenly, I felt a cool touch on the back of my hand.
Cheng Yi turned his head and looked at Lu Qian who was stroking his big hand.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Qian gently rubbed Cheng Yi's big hand on her waist, looked up and asked, "Are you tired?"
Cheng Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly and teased, "What? Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Lu Qian withdrew his gaze in shame and anger, and murmured softly, "Not serious..."
Cheng Yi stretched out his finger, lifted Lu Qian's face, and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes. "I just like the way you say one thing and mean another."
"wo"
“ohhhh!”
"Jesse! Jesse!"
…
The cheers coming from afar interrupted the ambiguity between the two.
Lu Qian turned his head and saw a high-spirited blond man standing on the gambling table. His emerald green eyes were exactly the same as Vincenzo's. He was holding a sexy beauty in revealing clothes with his arms, enjoying the cheers of the crowd.
Lu Qian quietly asked Cheng Yi, "Who is this person? He's so flamboyant."
Cheng Yi glanced at him disdainfully, "Jesse, Vincenzo's only son."
Jesse glanced into the crowd and caught sight of Cheng Yi.
He embraced the beauty and walked down with high spirits. The cheers in the venue continued one after another, giving him enough face.
Thaksin walked up to Cheng Yi and performed a standard gentleman's salute.
"Master Cheng."
Cheng Yi nodded slightly and smiled calmly, "Major General Jesse, it seems that you are lucky today."
Jesse smiled evilly and waved his hand, flicking the golden chip on his finger.
"when--"
It flew into the air, flipped gracefully a few times, and then landed in the palm of my hand.
"It's only 50 million. I'll do some small things and earn some pocket money."
