Chapter 361: Chapter 361: It’s Good for a Woman to be a Bit Foolish_1

As soon as Jiang Nanxi stepped out of the resting room, the black-clad guard immediately bowed and reported, "Miss An from the An family has entered the elevator. It’s going up."

She nodded her head and walked towards the elevator. As she passed by the side door of the banquet hall, she suddenly had a sensation, turned her face to look, and subconsciously stopped her footsteps.

There was a man leaning against the doorframe, with a sly glint in his eyes and a smile on his lips even slyer than his gaze.

"Mr. Xiao," Jiang Nanxi nodded in greeting.

The man was Xiao Ming. freewebnoveℓ.com

He was seen holding a plate with several glutinous rice balls on it; he was chewing and smiling, "Miss An from the An family ran past crying. What did you do?"

Jiang Nanxi didn’t answer, instead asking back, "Are the rice balls delicious?"

"They taste pretty good, want one?"

Xiao Ming offered the plate forward, and Jiang Nanxi extended her finger to pick one up, bit off a piece to chew for a moment, then shook her head in disappointment and said, "Mr. Xiao is deceiving me, the taste is actually quite ordinary."

Xiao Ming took back his hand with a look of regret, "Miss Jiang is from the north, so it’s not surprising that you’re not used to southern snacks. It’s a pity though!"

A glint of sharpness flashed in Jiang Nanxi’s eyes; she took another bite of the rice ball, "Mr. Xiao seems to know a lot of things."

"It’s alright! This is the capital I use to navigate the world of martial arts."

"Here I thought Mr. Xiao’s capital was his outstanding male charm."

Xiao Ming chuckled, "I just like women with exceptional taste and elegance like Miss Jiang. How about finding a quiet place to have a drink and talk about life?"

"I would be delighted to do so, but unfortunately, if Mr. Xiao doesn’t hurry to the rooftop now, it’s very possible that a beautiful girl might meet her demise tonight."

"Ah? Are you talking about An Kefang? Is she going to jump off a building? But why?"

Xiao Ming was still chewing on a rice ball, his words muffled and unclear. There wasn’t a hint of worry or tension in his expression.

Jiang Nanxi’s eyes stared unwaveringly at him, "Because, the person who asked her to set a trap for you tonight is her very own brother, Xiangyu."

"I see, that’s indeed enough to break a heart," Xiao Ming shook his head with a face full of lament, "Love from long ago leaves but empty regret, this regret endures boundlessly without end, huh!"

"Mr. Xiao doesn’t care?"

"Eh? Miss Jiang looking all cockeyed is pretty cute, way better than playing a Bodhisattva like Master Miejue."

Jiang Nanxi’s pupils contracted, her eyelids lowered to hide her emotions, "Thank you for the compliments, Mr. Xiao! Since you don’t care about Miss An’s safety, please excuse me for leaving."

"It’s alright. Give her a message for me."

"What message?"

"Xiao Ming’s gambling debts aren’t easy to owe. Even if she dies, I’ll dig out her corpse to settle her debts."

Jiang Nanxi’s mouth corners curved slightly, "Mr. Xiao’s tenderness is truly one of a kind."

"Bad luck falls on these four words."

With a wave of his hand to her, Xiao Ming then turned and went back to the banquet hall.

He hadn’t gone far when a figure leaned towards him, and it was Furukawa Shizuka.

The woman’s cheeks were flushed with a tipsy red, her drunk eyes glistened, radiating charm that was alluring.

"Damn, you’ve got a craving for booze?" Xiao Ming said disagreeably.

Furukawa Shizuka pursed her lips and smiled, "Men love to ply women with alcohol, the less she’s their own woman, the more diligent they are. What can I do about that?"

Xiao Ming frowned, "Is this how you talk to them too?"

"What else?"

Xiao Ming fell silent, his gaze turning colder and colder, making Furukawa Shizuka’s flirtatious face increasingly stiff, and her eyes more and more clear-headed.

"I... I was just joking. A few drinks aren’t enough to get me drunk, and there’s not a single man in this hall deserving enough for me to talk to them like that."

"Was that joke fun?"

"If I say it was fun, would you be mad?"

"Are you afraid of me being mad?"

Furukawa Shizuka lowered her face and took his arm, walking forward while smiling and greeting the various guests on both sides. It was clear that her networking for the evening had been very fruitful.

"There’s a woman’s perfume on you. It’s not mine, and it’s not Mingyue’s."

Xiao Ming chuckled dryly, "What, are you trying to play the jealous woman card now?"

"I’m your female companion tonight. From the perspective of role-playing, I should express dissatisfaction with these things at least during Qingyang.

So, who’s the woman?"

"So that’s really what you wanted to ask!" Xiao Ming shook his head, "Then just take a guess and let this boss see your analytical skills as a spy."

Furukawa Shizuka pressed her lips together, pondered for a moment, and said, "First of all, I can rule out the results of your hunting tonight.

Although you’re lecherous, you’re also surprisingly disciplined, and even if you approach a woman for some purpose, it shouldn’t be intimate enough for her perfume to mask the scent of shower gel.

Secondly, this woman is likely not an acquaintance of yours in Qingyang.

Given your personality, if there were such an important female confidante here, I would surely already know or have even met her by now.

Based on the above, this woman is an ’old’ person from your past.

Plus the secret meeting, the answer is obvious.

That celebrated special agent from the Security Bureau, Ding Jianwei, is here."

Xiao Ming’s eyebrows shot up, "Not bad, not bad at all, a clear logic and right on track, I’m satisfied.

But, ’the flower of special agents’ - what kind of corny nickname is that?"

Furukawa Shizuka blinked her long eyelashes, "Among the beauties around you, based solely on looks, Ding Jianwei is relatively the least outstanding.

Yet, her status in your mind is evidently not light.

With such exceptional charm, doesn’t she deserve the title of ’flower’?"

Xiao Ming touched his nose awkwardly, "Tonight I met a foolish girl; I found her annoying at first, but thinking of it now, to live a relaxed life, it might be better to find a somewhat less bright woman."
