Chapter 168 - Tobiass Rage (1/2)
As if nothing happened, the two slipped out of the nightclub without drawing attention from the club's security.
Hopping into Shen Jue's car, Mimi immediately took off her mask to reveal the dry blood on her nose and lips.
”Quick, pass me a wet tissue.”
Shen Jue glanced around in his car and innocently looked back saying, ”I don't have any.”
Mimi: ”…”
Well shit! Was she just supposed to come home with a bloodied face?
Having gotten so used to Tobias's motherly habits, she forgot Shen Jue represents the exact opposite of the godly man. If by chance he did give her a wet tissue, she would have only assumed the worst.
He must have performed some naughty deeds in his car and hid the evidence…
Shen Jue offered, ”I can go into a convenience store and buy tissues for you if you want.”
Mimi froze and glanced over at Shen Jue's appearance. She quickly rejected that idea in her head.
He looked much worse than she did! While she looked as if she was pounced on by thugs, he looked like he slaughtered a group of them!
However, recalling she hadn't made any plans with Tobias tonight, the little panic in her heart eased. She wouldn't want to scare Tobias to death with her appearance.
”No, it's fine. Just drive me home, and I'll wash up.”
Shen Jue's eyes stared at her a moment longer before he nodded his head and launched the car. Neither noticed the man walking out of the club and dialing a number.
”The young miss is returning home now, sir. However, she got into an accident at the club.”
The words at the other end were unheard, but whatever was said, caused the man to whiten and nod his head.
”Yes sir, I understand. Again, I apologize for failing to protect the young miss. I'll go receive my punishment right away.”
The man ended the call and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah, he nearly pissed his pants! Best of luck young miss!
…
On the way home, Mimi was holding her chin and looking out of the window with rapidly changing scenery pass by. She bore no expression on her lovely red-stained face.
Her calm eyes held little emotion as if there wasn't blood on her, but rather red paint.
”Does it hurt?”
Mimi glanced at the man briefly before looking back outside. ”It did at first, but it's fine now. It's just a little nosebleed.”
Thankfully, she wore a mask otherwise, her beautiful face would have been damaged! This was her chick magnet, how could she go on without it and attract big melons?
Shen Jue went silent. A strange light flickered across his eyes as if he seemed to recall something.
He cleared his throat and curved his lips. ”I had the security footage cleared and deleted so your father won't look into your identity.”
Mimi hummed but said nothing, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment passed before Mimi stole a glance at Shen Jue and parted her lips. ”My sister, Emily…why did the two of you go to that nightclub together?”
Shen Jue raised an eyebrow. He had forgotten he had mentioned that to her before.
”Because she was my fiancé, I brought her there to meet a few of my friends and business companions. I thought it would be good to let her get to know them.”
Mimi's expression immediately darkened. ”At a nightclub? By herself with just a bunch of men?”
How could her sister marry such a man?! He had no sense of tact!
Shen Jue smiled. ”She wasn't too pleased about the environment. She said it was too loud and rowdy for her taste.”
”Mm, that sounds like her.” Mimi's eyes lowered, her eyes softening.
Emily was the opposite of her. She liked things quiet and simple. The quieter, the better to hear her thoughts, she'd always say. Seeming to remember something, Mimi's lips tightened.
”That story you told to Yu Feng earlier, was it about her too? Was she the swan?”
Shen Jue's voice was unexpectedly relaxed and gentle. ”Mm, I guess it can be seen that way.”
”How else could you see it?” Her brows wrinkled in confusion.
Shen Jue chuckled, his slender fingers gently tapping the stealing wheel. ”As a made-up fictional story.”
Mimi: ”…”
That story was obviously about her, yet he dared call it fiction.
