Chapter 88: Caught again

At the banquet, Qiao Suisui let out a delicate yawn, feeling a bit bored.

Zongfang noticed, and the arm that had been around her waist tightened a bit. He lowered his head and asked: "Tired?"

"My legs are a bit sore."

"I told you not to wear this pair of shoes." The man lectured her in a tone that wasn't too heavy or too light, but his hand immediately put down the wine glass and he was about to bend down to carry her. Qiao Suisui was startled and quickly patted his shoulder to stop his movement.

"Didn't you say you were tired?"

"But you can't do this, there are so many people here watching..." Her face was a bit hot. She had just gotten used to everyone's gaze, and now she felt uncomfortable again.

Zongfang had no temper when facing her. He snapped his fingers at the waiter, threw him a card, and ordered: "Buy me a few pairs of comfortable flat shoes for women."

Qiao Suisui poked her head out and said: "One pair is enough, I'm not a centipede."

Zongfang squinted at her with his eyelids lowered, a shallow smile on the corners of his mouth, and said: "You're not a centipede, you're a little troublemaker."

The waiter didn't dare to be slow and went to handle it immediately. During this period, Qiao Suisui was taken to the VIP room to rest. Zongfang wanted to go with her, but was held back by several Beastmen who rushed up, saying they wanted to chat with him about the funding of the project. Zongfang just wanted to say you don't need to, but seeing Qiao Suisui's smiling little appearance, he remembered that the excuse he brought her was to attract investment. If he said it directly now, it would be exposed. So the man coughed into his fist and began to listen to these people's nonsense with patience.

Qiao Suisui went to the second floor, walked into a luxuriously decorated VIP room, and sat on the leather sofa, and sleepiness came over her. She was indeed very tired recently, and although she had no adverse reactions to pregnancy, she was a bit sleepy. Unknowingly, she propped her head up and nodded off, and before long, she fell asleep. Subsequently, the door of the VIP room opened a crack, and the trouser legs of a black suit stepped in from the side of the door.

At the same time, in the main hall on the first floor of the banquet, a female standing in the corner covered her face with a feather fan, watching Zongfang's back. Her male companion whispered something in her ear flatteringly, and the female approached Zongfang with a wine glass. When she walked to the front, she pretended to be unsteady and spilled the wine on the front of his shirt.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, sorry Doctor Zongfang, I... I didn't mean to..."

The female was pitiful. Several Beastmen around Zongfang all showed sympathy involuntarily. They thought this female was finished. Doctor Zongfang was famous for not being gentle with women, and he had a spouse now. Doing such a blatant seduction, they really didn't know what she was thinking.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Zongfang not only didn't lose his temper but kept staring at this female.

The female blushed from being watched. In an instant, many fantasies appeared in her mind. This man in front of her was really too good-looking to look away from. Could it be that he really took a fancy to her?

The other male Beastmen were also a bit surprised, thinking Zongfang had taken a fancy to this female. They exchanged glances very quickly, all reading "See, men are all the same" in each other's eyes.

The female was bolder now, lifting her eyes timidly, her face showing a coquettish expression that males couldn't refuse: "Doctor Zongfang, I can pay for this shirt for you."

After she finished speaking, the man suddenly laughed, and then walked toward her step by step. This smile made the female look a bit silly. How could there be such a good-looking man?

However, in the next second, she woke up.

Because her head and face were now covered in red wine, which kept dripping down her hair onto her cheeks and neck in a messy, sticky, and dirty way, and it also stained her dress.

The female let out a scream. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Zongfang's action of raising his arm to pour wine on her head in disbelief.

"Pay? With what? With this face of yours where even the foundation is thick enough to crack?"

The female was humiliated, covered her face, and ran away crying. Her male companion chased after her to comfort her. Other Beastmen looked at this scene in shock, and some even looked at Zongfang with condemnation. How could someone really treat a female so rudely? Weren't they afraid of being sentenced? Some people whispered: "Do you think he will commit domestic violence?" "God, then will he really be liked by her spouse? Won't he be dumped?" "Yeah, that little female looks very weak, why does she like such a male? Really no demeanor."

Zongfang didn't care about these discussions at all. He looked down at his shirt; the wine stains on his chest were now there. He "tsk"ed, turned his neck, pulled off his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons, making himself look a bit more sexy. But those who knew him knew that this man was very displeased at this moment.

This outfit was matched by Qiaoqiao before going out.

The male Beastmen who were still chatting tried to say something, but forgot what they wanted to say when they saw Zongfang's cold silver eyes.

"Well... let's chat next time, Doctor Zongfang..."

Zongfang turned and left impatiently, striding toward the VIP room on the second floor.

In the VIP room, Qiao Suisui woke up faintly and saw Lan Ze sitting quietly on the floor in front of the sofa. She had been asleep for how long, and he had watched her for how long.

"Lan Ze? How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up?" She rubbed her eyes and sat up to ask.

"I just came, didn't want to disturb you."

The time they had been apart was a bit long, and for a while, it was a bit strange. Qiao Suisui felt that it was slightly awkward when they had nothing to say to each other. Lan Ze sensed it, smiled gently, and took the initiative to open the conversation: "Suisui, have you been well lately?"

"Mm, I used the house you accompanied me to see to open an inn, so I can spend the money I earned myself. Recently, I also went to AOIS to go to school." Qiao Suisui shared a lot of things about her school with Lan Ze. Lan Ze listened seriously and attentively, looking at her with a gentle smile from time to time, sincerely happy for her.

"I have always known that Suisui is very brave. It seems that you have been growing up well during this time."

Qiao Suisui was a bit embarrassed by his praise, but felt warm in her heart. She also learned from Lan Ze and sat on the floor, chatting shoulder-to-shoulder with him. The atmosphere between the two was youthful and beautiful, like old friends reuniting after a long time.

"What about you? Where have you been during this time?"

Lan Ze smiled and told her about his experience in the Freedom Alliance, omitting the words of the mysterious old man. His voice was very magnetic, but different from Luka's low voice, it made people feel very comfortable when they heard it, like the fire in the fireplace in winter, like the wind chime under the eaves in summer, always giving people a sense of propriety that was just right, fresh and warm.

Qiao Suisui listened to the Freedom Alliance he described and couldn't help but feel a bit curious. The two chatted and laughed. Lan Ze told his own embarrassing things, making Qiao Suisui burst into bursts of surprise and laughter.

Outside the VIP room, Zongfang was holding a pair of exquisite flat shoes in his hanging hand. At this moment, he stood quietly outside the door, his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
