Chapter 76 - Wolf in Sheep's Skin
Duan Le's mind instantly went blank. The story wasn't proceeding as she had imagined. She should be calmly greeting Xu Huifang and leave a prideful impression for Bian Youtian. However, she never expected that Xu Huifang would dare to humiliate her in public. At this moment, it was as if time had paused with the wine splas.h.i.+ng towards her. If it landed on her, then she would instantly turn from a prideful peac.o.c.k to a ridiculous sparrow.
A cold smile flashed in Xu Huifang's eyes. The reason why Duan Le came was because she had given the latter an invitation in secret, intending to humiliate this vixen in public.
She actually knew about the affair, but she kept quiet. She knew that controlling a man was akin to flying a kite. As long as she held the reins, there's no worry that the kite would fly away from her sight.
Bian Youtian had been constantly chasing women for the past few years. But she could tell that Bian Youtian didn't treat Duan Le like the other woman, his feelings had been implicated. Some time ago, Xu Huifang received an audio recording through a private investigator. It was actually an audio recording of Duan Le asking Bian Youtian to divorce, which he agreed to in the audio. So how could Xu Huifang not be mad?
This adulterous couple!
In her heart, even if her husband was in the wrong, it was due to Duan Le's seductions that caused it. Thus, she decided to humiliate and tear apart Duan Le's phoney façade in public.
The wine splashed in the direction of Duan Le, along with her rage.
Duan Le had subconsciously used her pink purse to cover her face, and it was a response based on instincts. But she suddenly felt her underarm being lifted and her centre of gravity was s.h.i.+fted towards the right. She could even hear the whistling sounds of wind blowing by her ears as she dodged the wine's a.s.sault.
She was lying in Su Tao's embrace as she looked at the fellow who rescued her with a faint smile. Her eyes were bright, as if she was still mulling over this situation.
Su Tao lowered his head and tapped Duan Le's forehead with a hand. "We didn't manage to dodge it completely, a drop got on you."
He moved his finger to his lips and licked it, causing Duan Le to suddenly feel numb.
It all happened in an instant, from Xu Huifang splas.h.i.+ng the wine to Su Tao pulling Duan Le to dodge the a.s.sault and wiping the droplet of wine on her forehead. In the eyes of others, it all practically happened in a few blinks of an eye.
Xu Huifang's ridiculing expression suddenly turned to shock and her head froze with a few cut scenes from the moment. How did Duan Le instantly disappear from her eyes?
The wine splashed on the floor and missed the target, causing Xu Huifang to forget how she should react.
She released her thick fingers, allowing the gla.s.s to fall and it shattered on the floor as she pointed towards Duan Le and cursed, "You actually have the guts to turn up for this ball?!"
Duan Le still hadn't recovered and she was looking at Xu Huifang in panic. She's weak in her heart, despite her appearance. After all, she's the third party here. Her gaze looked towards Bian Youtian, wis.h.i.+ng that he could stand out to protect her. However, Bian Youtian instantly turned his face away and avoided her gaze.
*Slap!*
A crisp slap resounded, instantly causing everyone to be dumbfounded.
As Xu Huifang spoke, Su Tao walked to her and gave her a heavy b.i.t.c.h slap.
