Chapter 58: Watch more if you like it
"Tsk," Luo Chuan rolled his eyes at Jiang Luan, "You already know I'm a thief. Be careful or I'll steal your research and sell it for money."
"You dare!"
"See if I dare!"
“…”
Jiang Luan huddled back into the sofa awkwardly, not caring at all about his image at the palace banquet.
"Hey, come on, idiot, don't be so mad," Luo Chuan hugged Jiang Luan, "Don't you want to meet Qianjisuo, the steel wire thief with a very steady hand? I'll take you there later."
“…”
Jiang Luan still didn't say anything. He looked up at Luo Chuan and gradually stretched out his curled up body.
"Loc!"
An excited greeting came from behind them.
Luo Chuan looked back and saw an Asian girl with short hair giving him a bright smile.
"Haru!" Luo Chuan shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The girl skipped forward, jumped up, and put her arm around Luo Chuan's shoulders, "I followed the boss."
Luo Chuan's eyes widened, "Master?"
The girl shook her head, "No, it's the boss I work for."
Luo Chuan brought her in front of the crowd and introduced her, "Let me introduce you. This is my fellow junior sister, Takeshita Haru, sixteen years old, from Japan."
Luo Chuan pointed Cheng Yi to Zhuxia Chun and said, "This is my boss. Isn't he handsome?"
Takeshita Haru looked at the man in front of him who exuded a kingly aura and was extremely cold and arrogant. He glanced at him with satisfaction, clasped his hands together, and saluted respectfully.
"I've long heard of the Tavian family. Seeing you today, I can see you're truly worthy of your reputation."
Takeshita Haru subconsciously looked at Lu Qian who was held in Cheng Yi's arms. Looking at this weak and reserved oriental girl, a hint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
"This is..." Luochuan was about to introduce Qu Le to Takeshita Haru.
"I know you," Takeshita Haru bent down and got close to Qu Le's face, smiling slightly, "little fox."
Qu Le blinked twice and said calmly, "Hello, Miss Takeshita."
Takeshita Haru pouted, "That's very official, you can call me Haru like my senior brother."
"No need, I'm not familiar with it."
Luo Chuan leaned on Zhuxiachun's shoulder and looked at Qu Le obsessively, "I'm right, isn't she? Even her indifference is so charming."
Takeshita Haru raised his eyebrows slightly and slapped Luochuan's hand away.
"I've said hello. I'm going back to see my boss. Bye."
Then he bowed to Cheng Yi again, "Master Cheng, goodbye."
Cheng Yi still turned a blind eye, but this could be considered the respect of an emperor.
He lazily raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.
"Almost done. Let's get ready. Duke Davey and Delilah will be arriving at the venue soon."
Jiang Luan's face was wrinkled like a dough twist. After meeting this old man, he didn't want to continue socializing at all.
Luo Chuan snorted and laughed, looking at the cowardly Jiang Luan, "Then, Boss, I'll take Jiang Luan away first. Otherwise, I think Tavia might lose its medical researcher."
Cheng Yi waved his hand in agreement.
Lu Qian remembered what he heard on the plane, that Duke Dai Wei was the protagonist of this banquet.
His eldest daughter, Princess Delilah, was the object of marriage proposal for many European powers.
As long as he could marry Delilah, it would be like having the whole of Germany as a backing.
Moreover, they heard that Delilah was as beautiful as a fairy and had not yet found anyone she loved, so the leaders of various major forces and the handsome young men among the nobles were all eager to try.
Lu Qian glanced sideways at Cheng Yi.
He was still cold and arrogant, as if he didn't care about anything.
A man like him probably needs a woman like Delilah to stand by his side.
"If you think I'm pretty, look at me more."
Cheng Yi casually tidied his sleeves, his eyes not even on Lu Qian.
"After all, a classic tuxedo is too complicated to wear. I almost never wear it."
Lu Qian was startled. Cheng Yi could see such a small movement of hers?
"But then again," Cheng Yi leaned over with a malicious smirk on his face, "If you like, I can wear it on the bed alone for you to see."
Lu Qian's face suddenly turned red, and her fragile nerves were aroused by Cheng Yi like a roller coaster.
"You..." Lu Qian bit her lip in shame and anger, "You hooligan!"
The evil smile on Cheng Yi's lips widened slightly. "Just to spice things up, I'm happy to do that."
Lu Qian coquettishly twisted her eyebrows, her face flushed with shame, and scolded in a breathless voice: "Who wants to add to the fun with you!"
Cheng Yi chuckled silently.
Sooner or later, little one.

Sauron's Palace.
Top floor medical room.
"Ahhhhhh!! I'm going to kill that Ciro!!"
Jesse was lying on the hospital bed, screaming wildly, and his only working hand was grabbing things at hand and throwing them to the ground.
There was a crackling sound and things splashed everywhere.
The doctors and attendants guarding outside the house didn't dare to step forward.
The shriveled cheeks from excessive indulgence were covered with shocking blue veins due to anger, the eye circles were red with anger, and streaks of blood were crawling up the whites of the eyes. He was gritting his teeth like a ghost seeking revenge.
Vincenzo stood aside, a cigar between his fingers, silent.
"Dad," Jesse turned his head away, "I'm going to kill Ciro, snatch the woman next to him, torture her to death, and cripple her to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud and powerful slap landed on that shriveled face.
The slap was so powerful that a stream of bright red blood immediately flowed from the corner of Jesse's mouth, and a shockingly clear palm print appeared on his pale face.
Jesse slowly turned his head and looked at Vincenzo in disbelief.
"Idiot!" Vincenzo shouted angrily, "Who do you think gave you this disgusting life?"
"Put away your lustful thoughts and stop thinking about that woman!"
Jesse frowned, "Dad! He made me look so bad at the Intercontinental Royal Banquet!"
"You asked for it!"
Vincenzo twisted the cigar viciously on Jesse's injured arm.
"Stop hanging out with those bad friends. You're my only son. How can I expect you to inherit our family business if you're like this?"
Jesse's face was twisted up from the heat, and a thin layer of sweat gradually gathered on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Vincenzo.
Vincenzo snorted nonchalantly, "Wait until you reach Ciro's position before you look at me like that again."
"Otherwise, you should go and apologize to me honestly!"
Vincenzo threw the cigar in Jesse's face and walked out of the ward without looking back.
"Leave him alone! Let him fend for himself!"
"Give him food when you figure it out!"
After hearing Vincenzo's order, the medical staff outside the door also walked away tactfully. After all, before I died, it was clear who had the final say.
Looking at the dispersing crowd, Jesse was furious. He grabbed the water cup and threw it towards the empty door.
"Damn old man! Damn Ciro!"
