Chapter 135 - It’s Possible That I’m His Type



Chapter 135: It’s Possible That 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 child who has been spoiled by us.”

Chu Luo looked at Arlan, who was being treated like a child, and suddenly had doubts about the age of the children in America.

This person looked even 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 corners of his lips quickly curled up.

Earl Clay didn’t intend to make things difficult for Li Yan at the start. After saying this, he gestured to the butler. “Butler, get someone to serve the wine.”

The butler immediately did as instructed.

After a while, servants dressed in the special uniform of the Earl’s Castle walked towards everyone with wine in their hands.

The Earl picked up a glass of wine.

A servant brought a tray to Li Yan.

Li Yan picked up a glass of wine.

The servant then brought the tray to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo also picked up a glass of wine.

The Earl raised his glass and said to everyone, “I’ve been busy recently. It’s rare that I get to meet you all. It’s a great blessing that everyone can gather tonight. Come, let me toast everyone.”

“You’re too polite, Earl. We should be the ones toasting you.”

“Hahaha, don’t be restrained, everyone. Let’s have a gathering with our old friends tonight and have a good time.”

“Okay.”

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

The servants quickly refilled everyone’s glasses. This time, the Earl especially toasted Li Yan.

“Recently, the gaming competition organized by Blazing Glory Corporation has been very popular. It has also received the attention of the higher-ups. Coincidentally, CEO Li and I are old friends, so I invited CEO Li to my house as a guest first. I hope that CEO Li will have a wonderful time tonight.”

He then stepped forward to clink his glass against Li Yan’s and downed it first.

Li Yan didn’t refuse and also drank.

After drinking, the Earl got his sons to entertain everyone.

The music started playing, and many men invited their female companions to dance.

At this moment, Arlan suddenly walked up to Chu Luo and extended his hand to her in a gentlemanly manner. “Beautiful lady, do you mind dancing with me?”

Chu Luo was about to speak when Li Yan said in a cold voice, “I do mind.”

A sneer flashed across Arlan’s eyes, and he deliberately revealed a surprised expression. “CEO Li, that’s not right. You’re not able to dance with such a beautiful lady. Are you going to stop other people from inviting her?”

After saying that, he deliberately leaned towards him and said provocatively, “What’s the relationship between CEO Li and this beautiful lady? Can you reject me on behalf of this beautiful lady?”

Chu Luo was about to say bluntly, “I don’t want to drink with you.”

However, Li Yan said first, “She’s my fiancée. 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 a servant over to drink a glass of wine. After that, he tugged at his collar and said to Li Yan in a bare tone, “Then CEO Li will have to take good care of your beautiful and charming fiancée.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Chu Luo watched as he left. Before she could flick the pill between her fingers, Li Yan suddenly tightened his grip on her.

Chu Luo turned to look at him.

Li Yan said in a murderous voice, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll make this person pay for what he said just now.”

Chu Luo put away the pill in her hand and nodded.

There were already many people dancing on the dance floor. Chu Luo looked over and saw that some people had come to chat with Li Yan, but they were all dismissed by his coldness.

Li Yan tilted his head to look at Chu Luo and asked her, “Do you like to dance?”

“It’s alright.”

As a High Priestess, she had to dance after every sacrificial ritual and war. A part of the reason why she cultivated was to be able to give off that majestic vibe while doing the dance.

When Li Yan heard this, his eyes flickered.

Chu Luo didn’t notice. She retracted her hand from his and asked in confusion, “Why do you think Earl Clay suddenly left you here?”

“He’s observing 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 already made arrangements for tonight. You just have to stand at the side and watch.”

“Hey…” This was too boring for her.

“Here it comes.”

After Li Yan finished speaking, Earl Clay walked over with a few people who were obviously of extraordinary status.

The moment they arrived, they surrounded Li Yan.

Earl Clay said, “CEO Li, I see that you don’t like this noisy environment very much. 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 get the other men to dance with your female companion?”

Li Yan suddenly swept a cold glance at that person. “My partner won’t dance with anyone but me.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect CEO Li to be such a possessive person. Let’s pretend that I was just joking. I hope CEO Li doesn’t mind.”

“I mind.”

Li Yan really didn’t give him face. The person who spoke paused.

Earl Clay immediately tried to smooth things over. “CEO Li, Cruz didn’t mean anything by that. If you really mind, why don’t we punish him with a drink?”

Cruz was also very straightforward. He raised the glass of wine in his hand and drank its contents.

“CEO Li, you don’t mind now, do you?”

Li Yan didn’t speak again.

Everyone walked towards a small, half-open living room.

Chu Luo was the only woman there.

Everyone casually chatted about international trade and economic developments during these past few years. They even talked about the “Battle of Lightyears” tournament organized by Blazing Glory’s gaming company. All of them praised Li Yan’s business acumen.

Li Yan’s expression remained cold and aloof throughout.

He would occasionally drink with everyone.

After a while, a woman of similar age to Chu Luo walked in with a smile and said to the Earl, “Uncle, I see that you’ve forgotten about this beautiful lady while chatting. Why don’t I take her out to play?”

Earl Clay said to Li Yan and Chu Luo, “This is my niece, Cece. She’s 15 years old this year. She should be around 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 that of a baby deer. “I feel like I’ve known this younger sister for a long time already. CEO Li, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of her.”

Chu Luo had goosebumps all over her body when she heard this 15-year-old girl call her “younger sister.” She couldn’t help but say, “I’m 18 this year.”

“Uh… you’re actually 18 now? I thought you were younger than me.”

Chu Luo merely lifted her lips and didn’t say anything else.

Unable to get a response from the two of them, Cece walked over and wanted to take Chu Luo’s arm as if they were close.

However, Chu Luo avoided it.

She said, “Sorry, I don’t like physical contact with unfamiliar people.”

Cece paused and looked at Earl Clay.

Earl Clay smiled and said, “Is CEO Li afraid that 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 consider it for a moment before turning to look at Chu Luo. “Do you want to go with her?”

Chu Luo looked into Li Yan’s eyes and nodded.

“Then go. I’ll look for you later.”

“Okay.”

Chu Luo followed Cece.

The two of them 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 the rumors that CEO Li has never been close to women.”

Chu Luo guessed casually, “It’s possible that I happen to be his type.”

Cece nodded and changed the subject. “May I know your name?”

“Chu Luo.”

“Chu… your names are too difficult to pronounce. I’ll call you Chu.”

“Sure.”

“Are you really 18 years old?”

“Mm.”

“No wonder everyone says not to guess the age of the people from the empire. I really thought that you’re younger than me.”

Chu Luo glanced at the mature-looking Cece, who was wearing two large circular earrings. She said seriously, “I can’t tell your ages either.” All of them looked older than their age.

Cece didn’t realize that Chu Luo had left half of her sentence hanging. The two of them quickly walked out.

At this moment, the number of people dancing had gradually decreased. Everyone else had gathered in groups and chatted while drinking.

Cece brought Chu Luo to where there were seven or eight youngsters.

When everyone saw Chu Luo, they sized her up.

A boy said excitedly, “Cece, you’re awesome to succeed in bringing CEO Li’s female companion out.”

Cece smiled at him smugly.

“Of course. Chu is a very gentle person.”

Chu Luo glanced at Cece and was doubtful of her “gentle” remark.

“So your name is Chu.” The man extended his hand to Chu Luo. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

As he spoke, he wanted to give her a warm hug.

Chu Luo shifted to the side and avoided his hug.

Only then did Cece say to the man in a warning tone, “Chu isn’t from America and isn’t used to getting too close to people. Don’t scare her.”

“Sorry, I didn’t know.”

“Since Cece has invited Chu here, why don’t we continue playing our previous game?”

“Sure, sure,” the others immediately echoed.

Chu Luo looked at the crowd and guessed that they were trying to trick her. She pretended to be ignorant and asked, “What game were you guys playing just now?”

“We’re playing a game of drinking using the turntable.” Someone pointed at the turntable beside them. “It means that whoever the turntable spins to will have to 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 could tell at a glance that the turntable could be manipulated by someone. How could she not know their intentions? The corners of her lips suddenly curled up. “Sure.”

After saying that, she sat down and started playing the game with everyone.
