Chapter 171: The Princess's Guardian Heavenly God
"Miss Furcummings, long time no see."
A low call pulled my gaze back from the door, and I turned around, and was taken aback at the sight of the visitor, "Mr. Jenson?" β
The man smiled softly, and the cello-like timbre sounded unhurriedly, "Long time no see, Miss Furcmings, how are you lately?" β
I swallowed my surprise for a moment and smiled instead, "Fortunately, Mr. Jenson has come to England to take care of business?" β
"So to speak." The smile on his face showed a kind of polite elegance, "However, it is indeed a pleasure to meet Miss Furcummings, I wonder if I have the honor of asking you to dance?" β
Vincent? Jensen stretched out his hand slowly, the standard invitation gesture made him look like a well-cultivated medieval European aristocrat, I hesitated, it had nothing to do with him, but I didn't want to dance at this time.
The words of refusal were difficult to speak, and when I was in a dilemma, a voice suddenly interjected.
"Hello, Mr. Jenson."
"Mr. Si." He turned to see the person who was coming, and greeted him with a smile.
A few steps away, Si Tianzhe looked as if he had just finished dealing with a guest, casually put the goblet on the tray of the waiter on the side, and walked towards us alone.
"The reception was great." Vincent? Jensen withdrew his outstretched right hand and said to Si Tianzhe, who walked in front of him.
"Thank you." Si Tianzhe pursed his lips lightly, "I hope it didn't bother you." "Immediately, not Vincent? Jensen replied, Si Tianzhe slowly raised his right hand, his eyes were like extracting the notes of the night, rippling with tunes, "Can I ask you to dance?" β
This invitation was naturally for me.
I was slightly stunned. There was a moment of trance in my head.
"Ahem," Vincent? Jensen wiped away the embarrassment on his face, "Then I won't bother the two of you." In addition, I have heard that the wedding date between Miss and Master Furmings is approaching, please inform me at that time, and I will personally send my blessings. β
It was unnatural for me to be mentioned suddenly, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I just smiled. Counted as a commitment.
Fortunately, he didn't say much and turned to leave.
But now I understand that the president of the company came down from the sky to relieve me. I can't help but think of Shang Xinyi's words, he is indeed like a patron saint.
I hooked my lips and turned to leave.
"I, can I ask you to do a dance?"
The voice behind him intensified. With my heartbeat, it was like stepping into the air, and suddenly lost its frequency.
I stand where I am. Uncontrollably flustered, not looking back, not leaving, as if there was an inexplicable stalemate with something in his heart.
The outstretched hand was so beautiful, as beautiful as a redeemed paradise.
But it's a paradise I dare not touch.
"Ruori, you're here." The gentle voice ended our stalemate at the right time, along with Jossi's assertive arm around my waist. With an inexplicable sense of strength.
"I see you're a little tired, shall we take a break?" He said.
I nodded silently.
"Mr. Furcumens." Behind him, Si Tianzhe suddenly spoke. "I have something to talk to you about, please come to the study on the second floor."
After saying that, he walked upstairs first.
Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away from the drinking party, Zoshi looked back and smiled at me, "Wait for me in a while, I'll be back immediately." β
"Hmm." I answered.
It seems that the wonderful atmosphere that can contain all emotions, like the lights gently swaying to the beautiful tune, everything at the reception looks so harmonious and beautiful.
I left the crowd and stood quietly in a place not far away, as if searching, as if waiting.
Wait for the cold muzzle of a gun to suddenly stick out from some dark place, pointing at me with unmistakable precision.
I remembered what Ye Ningchen asked me before the reception, "Since Miss knows that the map that Phyllis wants to get is the layout of the reception site, she will definitely take advantage of today's opportunity to attack you, so why don't you let me catch her directly, her defense methods, insidious and vicious should not be underestimated, why do you want to take risks yourself?" β
I smiled lightly and looked around the hall, this matter, after the previous layers of advancement, and so many foreshadowing, is destined to come to this point.
Si Tianzhe was not there, and Zuo Xi was not there, theoretically speaking, this should be the perfect time to start.
Boredom, I got up and planned to take a walk around the hall.
At this time, a well-dressed strange man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses came over, and he raised his hand and invited, "Miss, I don't know if you can admire your face and dance with me?" β
The calm face was inexplicably depressed, and I shook my head and declined, "I'm sorry." β
I turned around and left, but unexpectedly, the man grabbed me.
I was a little upset by such an impudent act, and I was about to ask when a hint of indifference suddenly overflowed the man's lips, "Miss Furcumens," he said very slowly, "I am deeply honored to be the one who has done this for you with his own hands. β
My heart was suddenly shocked, and the words he spat out, although they were smiling, were cold and gloomy, like tentacles stretched out in hell, and my fingertips caught by him suddenly tingled.
Don't......
The truth did not give me time to doubt, and all the lights that went out in an instant as his voice fell, pulled the reception hall and the entire building into exclamation and darkness.
Finally, here's it.
I withdrew my astonishment, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of my lips.
There are many aspects to trust in a person, such as his wisdom, such as his judgment, such as his insight, such as ...... His love for me.
Based on any of the above, I am confident that he will protect me.
A cold and hard breath drew closer, and the man's lips were attached to my ear, and in the darkness, he saw through everything as if he were not affected in the slightest.
"Goodbye, dear Miss Furcummings......"
Extremely soft whispers, each syllable like a black feather falling faintly in the dark night, it seems that once it falls to the ground, it is the beginning of the killing.
And, a cold object that slammed into my jaw.
Each bar crossed by the second hand seemed to suddenly enlarge at this moment, and I let the cold muzzle of the gun absorb my body temperature, and my breathing stagnated, and I did not move.
However, for a long time, the damage that took my life was not inflicted on me.
The smile on the corner of his lips had not yet dissipated, and in an instant, the hall was bright again.
My pupils adjusted to the transient brightness, and in front of me, the killer had been pinned down by two strange men, his already limping body and his eyes closed under his night vision gogglesβhe was unconscious.
In just a few seconds, it was fast.
"Miss Fu," said one of the men who restrained the killer, "I'm sorry to frighten you." β
"It's okay, thank you......" I said unconcernedly, a little concerned about the killer's condition.
"Rest assured, he's only temporarily unconscious," the other said, his voice lowered, "Our president ordered him to stay alive for later use...... Miss Fu, we still have some things to deal with, and we are out of company. β
I bowed my head, paused, and added, "For me...... Thank you. β
"Ladies and gentlemen. A little episode happened just now, and now it has been properly resolved, please continue to enjoy the reception, and I hope that a momentary accident will not affect everyone's good mood, thank you. The host's calm voice resounded through the hall, like the arrival of light to drive away the darkness, and powerfully calmed everyone's emotions.
This is his place, and who better to be in control?
The curvature of the corners of my lips is irrepressibly deep. (To be continued......)
