96 Master Player (1/2)
Wang Xiong personally greeted the two of them as they came in.
He gave a startled look when he saw Hui Yin, but it immediately melted into a polite smile.
”Miss Hui, I hope you enjoy the party. No wonder CEO Lu wasn't interested in dating any girls, it was because he already has a beauty in his arms!”
A waiter came by to offer them red wine, but before Hui Yin could take a glass, Lu Shen had already grabbed her wrist.
”You're a bad drunk.” He tipped the wineglass to his lips and drank it all without tasting the flavor.
Hui Yin was indignant. Since when did she get drunk? Uhh...wait, that's right, she got drunk at her own engagement party...
Since she couldn't argue with him, Hui Yin pursed her lips and sulked.
Wang Xiong slowly led them to where the rest of the party guests had gathered. Hui Yin spotted a row of flutes filled with grape juice on a nearby sideboard table and took one of them, slanting a glance at Lu Shen to see if he would scold her again.
But the man was busy drinking his third glass of wine, his fingers slipping under the crystal globe. The slight movement of his Adam's apple as he swallowed made him look seductively masculine.
Hui Yin wondered who between the two of them was the real drunkard—her or him?
Hmph!
She slightly sipped her grape juice, not wanting to finish it all. Actually, it was better for it to remain full.
As soon as they stepped into the drawing room, a figure in a white dress standing close to Wang Yong turned around and called them over.
”Brother Shen!”
Well, at least Lu Shen was called. Hui Yin ingratiated herself with him and walked over to Nian Zhen.
Wang Yong was the only one among them who didn't know about Hui Yin's identity, so he nearly choked on his champagne when he spotted the beautiful girl clinging tightly to Lu Shen's arm. As a 'hidden' suitor of Nian Zhen, he knew that the girl he liked had an unrequited love with the man in front of him.
Because of that, he had dug information about his 'enemy', wanting to see how he was better than him.
At the end, Wang Yong could only suck in his tears as he realized that ignorance was bliss. The enemy was too OP, practically using cheats to hack life. How could his stats be so high? The gods were practically punishing him for having a master player as a love rival!
