Chapter 78: Trying Again
Nangong asked and frowned, looked at Wang Yuxin, took out a few hundred dollars again and stuffed it into her hand, “Well, this is your fee for helping me take care of her, is that enough?”
His tone was cold and distant, tinged with faint disgust and impatience.
“This gentleman is generous enough, I just like people like you.” Wang Yuxin looked at the money in her hand and tucked it into her pocket with a smile on her face, “If you need any more help in the future, sir, just look for me.”
Both men looked across at Asher with their afterimages, their whole bodies tense and very nervous despite the smiles on their faces.
The man in front of him would never be easily fooled by them.
Nangong asked half-carrying Mia, slowly crossed Asher and slowly walked towards the entrance of the bar, just when Wang Yuxin who was on the side was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Mia who had been nestled in Nangong’s arms suddenly raised her head and froze and asked, “Why did you give her money?”
After she asked this question, Asher’s face showed a faint smile, while Wang Yuxin and Nangong asked’s nerves suddenly tensed up.
Seeing that Mia was about to open her mouth to say something to herself, Wang Yuxin hurriedly interjected, “You drank so much, and I took care of you for half a day, so you can’t earn some extra money? Wearing all the brand names, yet you are so stingy, really.”
Her voice raised slightly, trying to get Mia to wake up and see the situation in front of her.
Mia was already a little drunk, and now that she was inside the bar, seeing all the young men and women dancing around her, she struggled to break free from Namgung’s arms and slurred, “I don’t want to go back, I want to, I want to dance!”
With a cold snap, Namgung asked and saw Mia break out of her arms and stumble, unexpectedly crashing into Asher’s body.
“Since Miss Leng wants to dance, shall I ask Miss Leng to dance?” Wrapping his arms around the woman who had fallen into his arms, a small smile swirled at the corners of Asher’s mouth. The very moment he wrapped his arms around Mia, an unspeakable feeling of satisfaction rose in his heart.
It was at that moment that all his doubts dissipated.
This little woman must be the same Mia who disappeared five years ago!
Since Mia’s disappearance, he’s tried to find the same fun he used to have with other women, but he can’t seem to find it anymore. Every time he’s with another woman, he feels bored and bored out of his mind.
But now that he was holding this little woman in his arms again, there was a surprisingly unprecedented satisfaction and fullness in his heart.
Mia didn’t even seem to see the anxious Wang Yuxin and Nangong asking next to her, hooking her slender arm around Asher’s neck and muttering, “Yeah, I want to, want to dance …”
“Since you want to dance, I’ll ask Miss Leng to do a dance!” Wrapping his arms around Mia and not even looking at the two people next to him, Asher led her onto the dance floor.
Because Mia’s booze hadn’t worn off and because several people around her were swaying to the music, she was unsteady on her feet and had to cling to Asher’s neck to keep herself balanced.
The smile on Asher’s face deepened, and he held the small woman in his arms tighter as well, his heart more content.
The two pressed close together, swaying gently to the music.
Seeing the two, Wang Yuxin whispered in no good humor, “He’s about to marry another woman, and he’s still coming to mess with Mia at this time …”
“Yuxin, don’t talk too much, we can only see what happens now, we mustn’t let him find out Mia’s identity!” Darting a glance around, Nangong asked, his face dark with embarrassment.
How could he not have expected that Mia would be halfway to having this happen when he had been close to fooling Asher?
“They’re so close, and there’s no way for us to get closer, what should we do now?” Wang Yuxin looked at the two people snuggling together not far away and pulled up her sleeves and said, “No, I’ll go get her now …”
“Sigh …” Nangong asked a soft sigh, gently shook his head, stopped Wang Yuxin who was about to rush out, “Now if you go over there, it will only expose her identity, let’s just wait and see! ”
Wang Yuxin only had to stop, reluctantly looking at the two people on the dance floor. Unbeknownst to her, Nangong asked beside her had already clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down and not be impulsive enough to snatch the woman in Asher’s arms back.
But Asher looked at the small, slightly blushing woman in his arms and finally spoke, “Have you had a good time all these years?”
He knew Mia probably didn’t want to admit who she was just yet, but he just wanted to ask, to know where the hell she’d been for the past five years and how she’d come to be the condensation she was!
“Having a good time …” hanging from his neck with her hands, Mia slurred and repeated his words, finally smiling dizzily and shaking her head, “No, I’m not having a good time at all. ”
“I can’t live with you.” Asher said from the bottom of his heart as he looked lovingly at the stunningly beautiful face in his arms.
He could imagine that in these past five years, this little woman had not lived a happy life. And, now she had to take on responsibilities that did not originally belong to her.
Mia raised her eyes and looked at him with misty eyes for a long time before she suddenly smiled, “You, why can’t you do right by me?”
With a heartbeat, Asher said without warning, “I’m getting married, don’t you care?”
Mia, swaying gently to the music, jerked to a halt and stared straight into his eyes, “You’re getting married?”
“Yes, I’m getting married, and you still don’t care? Are you still going to tell me that you’re damn condensed?” Locking his eyes tightly on Mia’s, Asher’s voice gradually took on a ripple.
He would like to see, at this time, this woman can still pretend not to know him? Could she still be indifferent to the fact that he was about to get married?
Mia looked at him for half a day and finally dropped her head, hiding the emotion on her face, but said in a muffled voice, “Getting married, then I should congratulate you …”
Her heart was bitter, what little drunkenness she had had dissipated in a flash. She hated herself for sobering up at this time, staying so drunk, maybe she wouldn’t have understood what Asher was saying, right?
Yet, she was sober, and incredibly sober.
She hated herself for that!
Hadn’t he already made up his mind that whatever happened to him in the future would never have anything to do with her again?
Why, why, did her heart still hurt so badly when she heard him tell her himself that he was getting married?
But even so, she couldn’t leave his broad, familiar embrace and remained snug in his arms.
Maybe this is the last time I’ll hug him like this? There will never be another chance, will there?
Neither spoke again, just embraced each other and gently swayed to the music.
“Look, things are not right now, Mia seems to have come to her senses, so why isn’t she coming over?” Wang Yuxin, who had been staring at them closely, saw Mia’s change with her sharp eyes.
Nangong asked with both eyebrows furrowed together, his face couldn’t see any better, “Let her indulge one last time, I know, it’s hard for her heart.”
How could she be the only one with a hard heart?
“You …” Wang Yuxin twisted her head to look at Nangong asked and finally nodded, “If Mia could fall in love with you, she would definitely be happy. Don’t worry, I will help you!”
The man beside him seems to love Mia like a treasure.
If that was the case, Mia wouldn’t have to suffer so much!
Just as Wang Yuxin finished her words, she saw a figure hurriedly walking towards the dance floor, followed by several women. When she saw who was coming, Wang Yuxin let out a bitter laugh and said to Nangong asked, “This is great, it’s getting more and more lively!”
Leading a couple of women aggressively towards the dance floor is none other than Leena, the one Asher is getting married to next month!
“I don’t care if you’re Mia or Condensation, what the hell is going on with you pestering my fiancé like that?” Walking up to the two men, Riina looked at Mia in Asher’s arms with baleful eyes.
Asher looked up at Leena, his eyes flashing full of glare, “What brings you here?”
“Why am I here?” A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Riina’s mouth, “You’re about to marry me, still tangled up with her? I can’t believe you won’t let go of her when you see me coming, is that how much your heart ignores my existence?”
Mia snapped back to her senses and jerked Asher out of the way, straightening her messy hair and saying lightly, “Thank you Master Jun for asking me to dance, Grandpa Jun’s surgery, I’ll do my best.”
After saying that, Mia planned to leave.
“Are you just going to walk away? Or, do you just not have me in your sights?” Riina stopped Mia’s path, her voice sinister, her carefully manicured eyes staring coldly at her, “I wonder if you should explain something to me.”
“That’s right, I’ve never seen such a shameless person, Master Jun is getting married and she’s still coming to seduce Master Jun, how shameless!”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Isn’t she the president of the Shengshi Group, I wonder how the directors of the Shengshi Group would feel if they saw their president seducing someone else’s fiancé?”
…
The women who had followed Lina over had said words that were all vitriolic and unpleasant to listen to.
“Hey, what are you guys going to do, just because there are so many of you, you dare to bully Xiao … just dare to bully someone a girl, don’t you?” Wang Yuxin who was on the side could not look at it anymore, rushed to a few people and unceremoniously blocked in front of Mia.
Though she reacted quickly, Asher didn’t overlook her earlier faux pas and the smirk under his eyes deepened.
Nangong asked holding Mia’s hand, coldly Lina and a few other women said, “If you guys dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I’m not polite!”
