Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 135: Maybe I'm His Type
Li Yan's gaze sharpened.
Earl Clay immediately said apologetically, “Li, don't lower yourself to Arlan's level. He's just a kid who has been spoiled by us.”
Chu Luo looked at Arlan, who was treated like a child, and suddenly had doubts about the age of the children in America.
This person looked older than Li Yan.
Arlan suddenly looked at Chu Luo. When he saw Chu Luo's appearance, he narrowed his eyes and thought of something. The corner of his lips quickly curved.
Earl Clay had no intention of making things difficult for Li Yan at first. After saying this, he pointed to the butler. “Butler, ask someone to serve wine.”
The butler immediately did as he was told.
After a while, the servants wearing the special uniforms of the Earl Castle walked towards everyone with wine in their hands.
Earl took a glass of wine.
A servant brought a tray for Li Yan.
Li Yan took out a glass of wine.
The servant then brought the tray to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo also took out a glass of wine.
Earl raised his glass and said to everyone, “I was busy recently. I rarely get to meet all of you. It is a great blessing that everyone can gather tonight. Come on, let me toast to everyone.”
“You're too polite, Earl. We should have toasted to you.”
“Hahaha, don't hold back, everyone. Let's hang out with our old friends tonight and have fun.”
“Good.”
Everyone drinks wine in their glasses.
The servants quickly refilled everyone's glasses. This time, the Earl specially grilled Li Yan.
“Recently, the gaming competition organized by Blazing Glory Corporation is very popular. It also received attention from the higher-ups. Incidentally, CEO Li and I were old friends, so I invited CEO Li to my house as guests first. I hope CEO Li will have fun tonight.”
He then stepped forward to clink his glass into Li Yan's glass and chug it down first.
Li Yan did not refuse and also drank.
After drinking, the Earl had his son comfort everyone.
Music started playing, and many men invited their female friends to dance.
At this moment, Arlan suddenly walked towards Chu Luo and extended his hand to her politely. “Beautiful girl, do you mind dancing with me?”
Chu Luo was about to speak when Li Yan said in a cold voice, “I object.”
A grin flashed across Arlan's eyes, and he deliberately revealed a surprised expression. “CEO Li, that's not true. You can't dance with a beautiful woman like that. Are you going to stop others from inviting him?"
After saying that, he deliberately leaned towards her and said provocatively, “What is the relationship between CEO Li and this beautiful woman? Can you reject me on behalf of this beautiful woman?"
Chu Luo was about to say bluntly, “I don't want to drink with you.”
However, Li Yan said first, “He is my fiancee. Do you think I can reject you on her behalf?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Arlan's eyes before the smile on his lips deepened.
He stood up straight and called for a servant to drink a glass of wine. After which, he pulled his collar and said to Li Yan in a flat tone, “Then CEO Li should take care of your beautiful and charming fiancee.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chu Luo watched as she left. Before he could flick the pill between his fingers, Li Yan suddenly tightened his grip on him.
Chu Luo turned to look at him.
Li Yan said in a killing voice, “Don't worry. I'll make this guy pay for what he said earlier.”
Chu Luo kept the pill in her hands and nodded.
There are a lot of people dancing on the dance floor. Chu Luo turned her head and saw that some people had come to chat with Li Yan, but they were all dismissed by his cold demeanor.
Li Yan tilted her head to look at Chu Luo and asked her, “Do you like dancing?”
“It's okay.”
As a High Priestess, she had to dance after every ritual of sacrifice and war. One of the reasons why he was cultivating was to be able to let out that grand vibe while performing the dance.
When Li Yan heard this, his eyes flickered.
Chu Luo was unaware of it. He pulled his hand from his hand and asked in puzzlement, “Why do you think Earl Clay suddenly left you here?”
“He observed how much I care about you.”
“They want to start with me.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo's eyes suddenly lit up as Li Yan grabbed her hand again.
Li Yan said, “I've made arrangements for tonight. You just have to stand on the side and watch.”
“Hei ..” This is too boring for him.
“This is it.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, Earl Clay walked over with a few people who were clearly of exceptional status.
The moment they arrived, they surrounded Li Yan.
Earl Clay said, “CEO Li, I see that you don't really like this noisy environment. Why don't you come over there with us for a drink and a casual chat?”
Another person looked at Chu Luo and said, “I think CEO Li's partner is very interested in dancing. Since CEO Li can't dance with her, why don't you invite another guy to dance with your girlfriend?”
Li Yan suddenly glanced at that person coldly. “My partner won't dance with anyone but me.”
“Haha, I didn't expect CEO Li to be such a possessive person. Let's just say I was joking. I hope CEO Li doesn't mind.”
“I object.”
Earl Clay immediately tried to smooth things out. “CEO Li, Cruz didn't mean anything by that. If you really mind, why don't we punish him with a drink?”
Cruz is also very straightforward. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank the contents.
“CEO Li, you don't mind now, do you?”
Li Yan did not speak anymore.
Everyone walked towards the small half-open living room.
Chu Luo was the only woman there.
Everyone has been casually chatting about international trade and economic development over the past few years. They even talked about the “Battle of Lightyears” tournament organized by the game company Blazing Glory. They all praised Li Yan's business acumen.
Li Yan's expression remained cold and aloof.
He would sometimes drink with everyone.
After a while, a woman of the same age as Chu Luo walked in with a smile and said to the Earl, “Uncle, I see that you have forgotten this beautiful woman while chatting. Why don't I ask him to play?”
Earl Clay said to Li Yan and Chu Luo, “This is my nephew, Cece. He's 15 this year. She should be about the same age as CEO Li's female companion. Why don't you let them have fun together? Otherwise, CEO Li's female companion will feel very bored.”
Cece also looked at Chu Luo with her dark blue eyes that were like baby deer. “I feel I have known this little sister for a long time. CEO Li, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of him.”
Chu Luo goosebumps all over her body when she hears this 15-year-old girl calling her “sister.” He couldn't help but say, “I'm 18 years old this year.”
“Eh... You're actually 18 years old now? I thought you were younger than me.”
Chu Luo simply lifted her lips and did not say anything more.
Unable to get a response from the two of them, Cece walked over and wanted to grab Chu Luo's arm as if they were close.
However, Chu Luo avoided it.
He said, “Sorry, I don't like physical contact with unknown people.”
Cece stopped and looked at Earl Clay.
Earl Clay smiled and said, “Is CEO Li afraid something will happen to your partner here? Don't worry, no one will dare to be disrespectful to your partner in this place.”
Li Yan seemed to be considering it for a moment before turning to look at Chu Luo. “Do you want to go with him?”
Chu Luo looked into Li Yan's eyes and nodded.
“Then go. I'll find you later.”
“Good.”
Chu Luo followed Cece.
They both walked out of the small living room. Cece smiled and said, “I didn't expect CEO Li to care so much about you. I heard from a rumor that CEO Li has never been close to women.”
Chu Luo casually guessed, “Maybe I was her type.”
Cece nodded and changed the subject. “Can I know your name?”
“Chu Luo.”
“Chu. I'll call you Chu.”
“Sure.”
“Are you really 18 years old?”
“Mm.”
“No wonder everyone said not to guess the age of the people from the empire. I really think that you are younger than me.”
Chu Luo glanced at the adult-looking Cece, who was wearing two large round earrings. He said seriously, “I also can't know your age.” They all looked older than their age.
Cece was unaware that Chu Luo had let half of her sentence hang. The two quickly walked out.
At this moment, the number of people dancing was gradually reduced. Everyone gathered in groups and chatted over a drink.
Cece took Chu Luo to a place where there were seven or eight young people.
When everyone saw Chu Luo, they judged her.
A boy said excitedly, “Cece, you are amazing for successfully bringing CEO Li's female counterpart out.”
Cece smiled with satisfaction at him.
“Of course. Chu is a very gentle person.”
Chu Luo glanced at Cece and doubted his “soft” remark.
“So your name is Chu.” The man extended his hand to Chu Luo. “It's nice to meet you.”
As he spoke, he wanted to hug her warmly.
Chu Luo shifted to the side and avoided his embrace.
Only then did Cece say to the man in a warning tone, “Chu is not from America and is not used to getting too close to people. Don't scare him.”
“Sorry, I don't know.”
“Since Cece has invited Chu here, why don't we continue our previous game?”
“Sure, sure, the other” immediately resonates.
Chu Luo looked at the crowd and guessed that they were trying to trick her. He pretended not to know anything and asked, “What game have you guys just played?”
“We are playing a drinking game using a turntable.” Someone pointed to the turntable beside them. “That means whoever turns the turntable should drink. Chu, do you want to play with us?”
After this person finished speaking, the others spoke one after another, urging Chu Luo to play with them.
Chu Luo looked at the turntable and was able to catch a glimpse that the turntable could be manipulated by someone. How could he not know their intentions? The corner of his lips suddenly curved. “Sure.”
After saying that, he sat down and started playing the game with everyone.
