Chapter 57 - Declaration of War (1/2)

The other VIP guests had their own thoughts as they heard the commotion between Aiko Chen and Luna Jiang. Of course, they knew who Aiko Chen was, but they had no idea about the identity of President Li's companion tonight. For Aiko Chen to raise her voice like that, wasn't she afraid of offending President Li?

”Jasper, how can you say that?! Am I not your girlfriend now?” Aiko Chen turned to face Jasper Mo.

”What gave you an idea that you're my woman?” he countered back in a loud voice, denying the allegations that he was in a relationship with this repulsive woman.

Everyone immediately had a look of understanding, but when they looked at Luna Jiang's calm expression, they doubted that she was the one causing the trouble.

President Li didn't give Aiko's claim a damn and held Luna's hand as she stood next to him. He looked at her face from his seated position and smiled.

”Didn't you say you need to use the washroom? Go on, I'll be waiting for you here.”

Luna smiled back. ”Okay.”

Once Luna left, Hero was seated alone on the couch, with Jasper and Aiko staring at him awkwardly. Just now, they lost a lot of face in front of President Li. Aiko stomped her foot before deciding to run away from the humiliating scene.

Once she was gone, Jasper sat back and leaned his upper body with his arms settled on his legs, hands clasped between them.

”President Li, what's your relationship with Luna?” he asked seriously. He'd known Luna for a long time, and she never mentioned meeting or being friends with this man before.

Hero's eyes were cold, and his facial features held no sympathy for this man at all.

”Young Master Mo shouldn't poke on someone's personal matters,” he replied, repeating his wife's words earlier.

There was this kind of tense atmosphere between the two men that the other guest could perceive. They suddenly felt that they were in the wrong place at that moment. What the hell was happening between President Li and Young Master Mo?

They could clearly sense that they were both opposing each other with equal animosity, and the reason for this hostility… they could only guess that it was because of Aiko Chen and President Li's companion.

Many ladies present at the VIP lounge couldn't help but look over the two charming men. One was devilishly handsome while the younger man wasn't bad at all.

Eventually, Jasper couldn't take it anymore and stood up. ”Luna Jiang isn't a plaything, President Li.”

Hero shook his head and watched as his wife's figure reappeared at the doorway. Jasper had lost his chance.

”Young Master Mo should be telling this to himself.”
