Julian King stood beside Cecilia Gu, eyeing the girl who wanted to use her wealth to show off. He squinted slightly, his smile dazzling. "If you really want to compare who's richer, you might actually lose!"
The girl was about to flaunt her money, but seeing Julian King, she instantly transformed from a wild cat to a docile bunny—she couldn't be more gentle.
"Are you here for fun too?" The girl stammered as she looked at Julian King. "My name is Bella Bai, you can just call me Bella. I..."
At that moment, Cecilia Gu spotted Sophie Mo walking over, and quickly said to Bella Bai, "Sorry, we have other things to do. Goodbye!"
After saying this, Cecilia Gu tried to pull Julian King away.
But Bella Bai wasn't about to let Cecilia Gu and Julian King leave so easily. She reached out to block Julian King and said to Cecilia Gu, "I'm talking to the big brother, not to you, aunty. Why are you butting in!"
Aunty...
A shadow instantly passed over Cecilia Gu's face.
I'm not even thirty yet, and I'm already being called 'aunty'?
Why does Julian King get called 'big brother' while I get 'aunty'?
Cecilia Gu instantly felt it was so unfair.
But now wasn't the time to worry about fairness. In the distance, Sophie Mo saw Julian King tangled up with a young, pretty girl, and her face immediately turned dark.
Sophie Mo snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Cecilia Gu sighed helplessly and patted Julian King's shoulder. "Good luck! I'm going after Sophie!"
With that, Cecilia Gu ran after Sophie Mo.
Wendy, who had just finished paying, saw Cecilia Gu rush off and quickly chased after her. "Madam, your flowers..."
Julian King also spotted Sophie Mo, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Instead, he was very interested in Bella Bai. "Do you even know who that 'aunty' you just called is?"
Bella Bai pouted and replied, "I don't care who she is! All I know is that as long as big brother is standing with me, that's enough."
Julian King chuckled. "Then do you know who I am?"
Bella Bai blushed and kicked at the curb. "So, big brother, are you finally going to tell me your name?"
Julian King had played the role of a playboy his whole life. If he wanted, he could have women from age 6 to 60 falling at his feet in minutes.
Oh, except for Sophie Mo.
But now he had no desire to be a playboy anymore, so he didn't bother with Bella Bai's nonsense and said, "That's right, I'm about to tell you who I am. Listen closely—I'm the grandson-in-law of the Mo Family from Province Y. That 'aunty' you just made mad is Miss Cecilia Grant, second daughter of the Yun Family, and the wife of the CEO of Yin Enterprises. Lucky for you her husband isn't here, or your family would be in trouble. Good luck, kid!"
After saying this, Julian King turned and leisurely walked off in the direction Cecilia Gu and Sophie Mo had left, following after them.
Bella Bai stood there stunned, watching Julian King leave. She stomped her feet in frustration. "Liar! Big fat liar! You're lying to me! The Mo Family's eldest daughter still isn't married—how could you be their grandson-in-law? And that aunty, how could she be a Yun Family lady and the CEO's wife? Hmph! I may have just come back to China, but I won't fall for tricks like that! Next time I see you, I definitely won't let you escape from my grasp!"
Cecilia Gu grabbed the fuming Sophie Mo. "Wait for me!"
Sophie Mo felt like her lungs were about to explode. She bristled and said, "Cici, you saw it yourself! Look at him! Leopards can't change their spots! I thought he'd really changed, but he just put on a new outfit and kept being a playboy! I must be crazy to believe Grandpa, thinking he was hiding some deep side!"
Cecilia Gu sighed and held Sophie Mo's hand. "At least give him a chance to explain! I can't speak for everything, but I saw it all just now. I'm not defending him, but he really didn't flirt with that girl—she was the one picking on me, and Julian King stepped in to help me out."
Sophie Mo was still angry. "So what? After helping you, he just used it as an excuse to mess around with that girl? Charles Yin is way better looking than him, right? How come I've never seen any woman dare block Charles Yin? In the end, it's because Julian wants to fool around!"
Cecilia Gu couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Looks like this mission is going to be a tough one.
"Wait, Sophie, why are you so mad? Didn't you say you didn't care about him at all?" Suddenly, Cecilia Gu caught on. "The way you're acting now—you're totally jealous!"
Sophie Mo was suddenly stunned!
She instantly covered her face with her hands!
She actually looked completely incredulous!
Yeah, why am I so mad?
All these years, it's always been Julian King chasing after me. I've never liked him!
I always knew he was surrounded by women, and it never bothered me before!
But today, why am I...
Sophie Mo was startled by her own reaction.
Cecilia Gu, on the other hand, understood completely. This girl probably had her heart moved by Julian King's new look this morning, and now seeing him talk to another girl made her uncomfortable.
But Cecilia Gu had no intention of saying it out loud.
This kind of thing is best figured out by the person involved.
Sophie Mo said stubbornly, "Whatever, let him do what he wants! What does it have to do with me? I'm just here to host you and your husband, he's just tagging along! He can do whatever he wants! Come on, let's go eat!"
Cecilia Gu glanced back at Julian King, who had just caught up with a helpless look on his face, but Sophie Mo dragged her off to the restaurant anyway.
This chapter isn't over yet~.~ Click next page to continue reading!
Sophie Mo chatted with Cecilia Gu while constantly checking her phone.
It seemed like she was waiting for something.
Cecilia Gu could see it clearly, so she definitely wasn't going to mention it now.
This girl is obviously falling for him!
Still trying to act tough!
Earlier, everyone split up, and who knows where Charles Yin ran off to.
Well, no matter—he's got his assistant with him anyway!
Suddenly, Sophie Mo, who had just been chattering away, slumped over the table and pounded on it to vent her anger.
"Hey, if you break the table, you'll have to pay for it," Cecilia Gu teased her.
"Cici!" Sophie Mo suddenly looked up, pleading with Cecilia Gu. "Give me some advice!"
"Go ahead, what's up?" Cecilia Gu sipped her drink, totally relaxed.
"How do I get Julian King to go back to England?" Sophie Mo gritted her teeth. "I've been thinking about it for ages—every time he shows up in front of me, I get annoyed! You're full of ideas, help me out and think of a way to send him back to England!"
Pfft... Cecilia Gu almost choked!
Are you kidding me?
If he goes back to England, how are we supposed to match them up?
Tsk tsk, a girl troubled by love!
Tsk tsk, finally it's my turn to give advice!
Just then, Sophie Mo's phone chimed. She swiped across the screen in a flash.
Cecilia Gu saw a flicker of joy in Sophie Mo's eyes, but she quickly put on a stern face, pretending to still be angry.
No need to guess—it had to be a message from Julian King.
Julian King is like a butterfly among flowers, never getting caught up!
When it comes to romance, Charles Yin and Sean Kerr can't even compare!
Honestly, the only one who can match Julian King is Joe Qi.
So, when it comes to charming women, his skills are top-notch.
Just one message and Sophie Mo's mood improved a lot, making Cecilia Gu curious about what Julian King had sent her.
Cecilia Gu thought to herself, why did Julian King bother chasing her for decades?
All he had to do was cut his hair, change his clothes, swap his accessories, wash his face—and in minutes, he'd win her over!
Sophie, I always knew you were a sucker for looks, but I never thought you'd be this superficial!
So this is the kind of guy you like!
Suddenly, Cecilia Gu snapped back to reality!
No wonder Charles Yin isn't nervous about this mission at all!
Did he already know it would turn out this way?
Hmph, I'm the only one left in the dark, worrying myself sick!
I'll have to settle the score with him later!
Suddenly, Sophie Mo stammered, "Cici, I... I'll head over there for a bit."
Cecilia Gu grinned, "Julian King called you?"
Sophie Mo immediately turned away in embarrassment, but purposely pretended to still be angry: "I want to hear how he explains himself!"
Cecilia Gu almost burst out laughing, nodding, "Alright, go on. I'll wander around too! Just don't start a fight, okay?"
Sophie Mo blushed, grabbed her phone, and dashed off like the wind.
Watching Sophie Mo's retreating figure, Cecilia Gu couldn't help but laugh.
Huh, this mission turned out to be pretty easy!
By the way, where did Charles Yin go?
Everyone split up, and even Julian King could find Sophie Mo—so why didn't he come looking for me?
For some reason, I'm a little mad now too!
Hmph!
Elsewhere, Charles Yin sat in a café with his assistant, A. Across from him sat a man, who slid an envelope over. "Mr. Yin, here's what you asked for."
Charles Yin smirked. "Even though I'm here on behalf of the Mo family, that doesn't mean I'm on your side! I'm taking a risk meeting you today—next time, I'll decide how we make the exchange."
The man grinned. "Of course, it's up to you! The commander has great vision and guts—you're perfect for the job."
Charles Yin looked helpless. "No choice—I got dragged onto Grandpa Mo's pirate ship! Otherwise, how could I get through so easily?"
The man didn't reply, just stood up and nodded. "Goodbye. This is the last time we'll meet, so I won't say farewell."
"Goodbye!... And good luck!" Charles Yin smiled and nodded at him.
The man melted into the crowd and disappeared.
