Chapter 99

Zhao Zhiqiang spat out the chicken bone and replied calmly, "Miss Xuan, you made the first move."

"I, I thought you knew my situation."

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't mince words, frowning, "Your situation has nothing to do with me. My situation, you know it all, don't you? If there are two hundred million dollars to exchange, what else is there to say! Oh, right, the meat bone in my mouth, don't you dare snatch it. If you do, next time it won't just be a kiss you lose!"

"You!" Huo Zhuxuan's eyes widened, hardly believing what she had just heard!

"I, what about me." Zhao Zhiqiang glared back and continued eating the meat bones. To everyone, that piece of meat bone was absolutely more important than the beauty in front of him!

However, most people didn't know how the two, who had kissed, been kissed, kissed back, and been kissed back, would end up. The words they just said clearly hinted at something, but no one could understand. They could only stand there, eager to hear more.

At this moment, Zhu Zhilin couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Miss Xuan, Teacher Zhao, please come to the inner hall. My father has sent over those jade pieces for you to examine."

Huo Zhuxuan glared at Zhao Zhiqiang, who she considered worse than a robber, "I'm not going! I'll definitely find a shaman when I get back. Hmph—see if I can't subdue you, you despicable guy who takes advantage of others and acts innocent."

She was almost driven mad. She had already offered herself once, and now she had done it again. But she couldn't justify her actions, couldn't shout, couldn't curse, or act shamelessly. Although she was sure that if she shouted that this guy had molested her, many people here would beat him up.

But she knew she couldn't do that...

One word.

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't think much of it. Using a shaman to counter a qigong master? That idea seemed interesting, maybe he could have Guan Yu and Qin Qiong fight each other.

Zhu Zhilin, however, sensed something was off. Sister Xuan was angry, very angry, but it didn't seem entirely directed at her and Xiaorou. Zhao Zhiqiang's actions were indeed shocking, but Sister Xuan didn't react like a volcanic eruption. Everything was too strange.

Lin Xuerou had the same feeling. She felt like she had lost something, making her uncomfortable, but seeing Huo Zhuxuan's frustrated look made her a bit happy. Finally, someone had taken advantage of her!

But she really didn't want that person to be Zhao Zhiqiang...

The other men felt the same way.

Damn, why didn't I have the guts to kiss her?

Envy!

Such a beautiful flower, how did that pig get to it, and not me...

For a moment, the entire scene was silent.

"You owe me..."

Huo Zhuxuan ignored all the various gazes, showing no signs of being flustered by the forced kiss or the stolen meat. As if nothing had happened, she left the crowd with a parting shot.

Zhao Zhiqiang held the chicken leg in his hand, not putting it in his mouth for a long time.

Her words left him puzzled.

"What did she just say?" Seeing Lin Xuerou, he asked strangely.

Lin Xuerou suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, huffing, "You're so cool, taking away the most precious thing and still acting innocent."

Zhao Zhiqiang blinked a few times, not liking her words, "Xiaorou, that's not right. Why is her 'thing' the most precious, and mine isn't? If it weren't for her stealing my chicken wing, I wouldn't even bother with her!"

The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, Zhao, you're really taking advantage and acting innocent, forcing a kiss on Miss Xuan? Hmph, you're in for trouble!"

"Right, do you know that the wealthy Li family's young master, Li Yunchong, is a staunch suitor of Miss Xuan!" A young man sneered, "Brother, if this gets to his ears, you'll be in for a rough time!"

Zhao Zhiqiang gave the guy a cold look, threw the last chicken bone, feeling much stronger, and smiled, "What does it have to do with me? If he has the guts, let him come find me—"

With that, he left the crowd with Lin Xuerou and Zhu Zhilin.

"Wait, Brother Zhao."

Ji Yunchu looked at the familiar faces in the crowd, then at Zhao Zhiqiang, and decisively pulled Shi Yunlan to follow.

Shen Congke shook his head, "Sigh, compared to him, I'm a real bumpkin. In terms of strength, I can't match him, and in terms of demeanor, I can't even catch up!"

"What does that guy do, is he in coal or iron mines?"

A sexy beauty who had just tried to get close to Zhao Zhiqiang looked at his tall, thin figure with stars in her eyes, "That's a real man! Tsk tsk, a beauty like that, and he still kissed her! Hehe, I like it..."

Her infatuated look immediately drew sideways glances from those around her!

"Miss Yue, forget it. Didn't you see that Princess Xue and that Zhao guy have a close relationship, or maybe even a potential romantic one? And Zhao seems to be a friend of Princess Lin. Besides, Miss Xuan initiated the kiss and even stole his chicken. He didn't even flinch when kissed, and then he took back the chicken! Think about it, how small could his background be? You might as well go back and wash up and go to bed!" A young man who had been silent for a long time analyzed.

"Right, that guy has always been with Young Master Ji. Given the Ji family's status, he must be someone important."

A beauty joined in, "But I'm also well-known in the capital, and I've never seen anyone like him. Judging by his arrogance, he must be at least in the top tier."

"Unknown—top tier, yeah, that's about right."

"Too bad I didn't get to know him, he's already gone." Shen Congke felt uneasy after hearing everyone's comments, regretting missing the chance to meet a true high-level person. It was all Zhang Jiacheng's fault for misleading him; that guy was actually a nobody!

Zhao Zhiqiang, Zhu Zhilin, and Lin Xuerou returned to the room where Zhu Qiming's subordinates had already laid out a table full of jade pieces of various sizes and shapes.

"Hehe, Zhiqiang, you're really going to become famous now." Lin Xuerou was excited, unsure if she was more happy or jealous.

Zhu Zhilin smiled innocently, "Teacher Zhao, Sister Xuan is really angry— you're the first person to kiss her!"

Zhao Zhiqiang shook his head, "She was too overbearing. Kissing me once was enough, but she even stole the meat from my mouth. Since I was young, I've hated people who take things from others, especially those who think they're powerful and take my things. Whether they're men or women, I always pay them back tenfold. If it weren't for Xiaorou's sake, I wouldn't have given her any face. Besides, everyone has a first time! My first time is gone too..."

PS: Brothers and sisters, your support has deeply moved me. This week, I'm on a strong push, and I'm working hard to deliver. For every thousand additional favorites, I'll add an extra chapter. For every five hundred additional recommendations, I'll add an extra chapter. The minimum is two chapters, at 10 AM and 8 PM. Extra chapters will be random.
