Chapter 329: Reduced To Cannon Fodder
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The moment Jacques did something that infuriated her, he became insignificant in her heart. Especially with Zhai Jing as a comparison, Jacques was obviously nothing.
However, Emma would never say these words out loud. Since Jacques dared to humiliate her, he must be prepared to lose the whole game. So, Emma pretended not to hear anything and continued to invite Le Wan and the other two to sit down.
Then, she personally handed a glass of sparkling wine to Zhai Jing.
“Although I don’t know if the law in your country states that people under the age of 20 can drink alcohol, it’s obviously not allowed here. So, this is a glass of non-alcoholic sparkling wine. I hope you can still drink it.”
When she said this, she leaned forward slightly, revealing her beautiful shoulders and neck, as well as the looming curves of her chest. Her eyes were fixed on Zhai Jing’s face, and she seemed to be secretly flirting.
However, this scene happened to land on Jacques, and his face revealed a trace of displeasure. Emma actually used the exact same method she used on him, on another man!
Jacques squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhai Jing. Then, he sneered and thought,
Emma Watson, you’re good. You’re actually playing the same trick on him.
Was this considered returning the favor? Jacques thought arrogantly and conceitedly,
Then I’ll tolerate her this once. Let’s see who can last longer.
He didn’t know that Emma had already removed him from the list.
He turned to Laura, who was still in a daze, and gently stroked her head, causing her to tremble.
Jacques had his usual smile on his face.
“I’m sorry, it’s stuck on your hair. It made me very uncomfortable, so I took it
off.’
He opened his palm and revealed a small wisp of cotton.
Laura froze for a moment. Her face was white and red. She pursed her lips and said,
“Thank you.”
Then, she stood up with a whoosh.
“I’m sorry, I’ll take my leave first. She ran upstairs.”
Her actions obviously put Jacques in an awkward position. He could only sheepishly retract his hand and shrug his shoulders.
“Alright, I admit that there are times when I don’t really understand her.”
The person beside him teased,
“After all, she’s an evil woman and a freak. This is normal.
Le Wan, who was watching this scene, understood Laura’s feelings very well. She was afraid that she had been innocently involved in the battle between Jacques and Emma.
If it was an ordinary idol drama, perhaps Cinderella, after experiencing so many setbacks, would finally be able to obtain the Prince’s sincere feelings and obtain happiness.
However, this wasn’t a TV drama, but a book. From the scene that Le Wan encountered after traveling through the book, the plot seemed to be far from a fantasy idol drama, so it was more likely that Laura would be cannon fodder.
On the other hand, Zhai Jing thanked Emma and took the glass of sparkling wine. He sniffed it and handed it to Le Wan.
“This is lime-flavored. You should like it. Try it and see if you can get used to it.”
As if she didn’t notice Emma’s fierce gaze, Le Wan took the glass of wine with a smile and took a sip.
“I’m sorry, I’m not used to this taste.”
“Since you don’t like it, then don’t drink it.” Zhai Jing lowered his head and took a sip from her hand.
He commented,
“It doesn’t seem to suit my taste.”
Emma’s smile froze when she saw the two of them acting so intimately as if no one else was around. She looked at the two of them and suppressed her anger. Then, she turned to look at Little Brother Le, wondering if she could find a breakthrough from here.
“You’re Le Wan’s brother, right? Then how come I didn’t see you today? He also looks like a very handsome little gentleman.”
Little Brother Le still remembered his mother’s words, so he looked at Emma with a guarded look. When he heard Emma’s question, he replied stiffly,
“Oh. ”
There was no prelude or afterword.
Emma obviously didn’t expect Little Brother Le to be so concise and comprehensive. She was embarrassed by his words and became even angrier. As expected, the Le family wasn’t a good thing!
It seemed that she had to save Zhai Jing as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable for him to face such a group of boring and rigid people all day..
