"Little Village Flower, you noticed? This was all specially for you..."
"I can’t bother with you. In any case, this is the last time I’m warning you—stop pestering me, I’m a married woman!" Ye Shu said earnestly, completely at her wit’s end with Handsome B’s unreasonable harassment, so she decided to just throw out the truth.
Handsome B leaned casually against the wall, one foot propped up behind him, the other hand bracing himself against it, leaning towards Ye Shu.
"Damn, you know and you’re still hassling me? Handsome B, it’s fine if you grew up warped in the game, but can you please try to be a bit more sensible in reality?"
Ye Shu was so frustrated her face turned red. If she had known he was such a sticky plaster, impossible to shake off, she would never have played "Elf Light" and caused herself this trouble.
"Those women all call him hubby, don’t they?" Handsome B smirked mischievously, glancing in Sheng Shaochen’s direction with a raffish look that still managed to tease Ye Shu from the corner of his eye.
Ye Shu’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Weren’t all those women hired by her to fool Sheng Shaochen?
And now she had trapped herself too.
Annoyed, Ye Shu bit her lower lip and shot Handsome B a glare, about to send him away when a blur of blue approached.
He stepped directly between her and Handsome B, his masculine voice rising, "Excuse me, sir, may I have the honor of buying you a drink?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Ye Shu reflexively spoke for Handsome B, she was only short of shoving the man directly into Handsome B’s arms.
Handsome B’s face changed faster than a kaleidoscope. "Little Village Flower!!"
"Little Village Flower? I didn’t realize this gentleman was so interested in coming up with nicknames. You must be quite the character yourself?" The man took two glasses of red wine from a server and handed one to Handsome B, "May I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"
Handsome B, looking at the man before him like a wolf spotting meat, frowned, "Little brother, didn’t you see I’m busy?" He reached out to dismiss the wine glass from the man’s hand.
Ye Shu took the chance to turn around.
Handsome B was about to follow.
But the man stuffed the glass of red wine into Handsome B’s hand, "I’m the host of this birthday party, the birthday boy is my sister..."
"Han Zhe?" Handsome B’s gaze shifted back from Ye Shu and settled on Han Zhe’s youthful face, his brows deeply furrowed.
"I am flattered that you find me so interesting," Han Zhe replied with a slight smile to Handsome B, downed the wine in his glass, and then said, "Don’t you think we have a special connection?" The outfit was quite matching.
Han Zhe initially disliked the idea of wearing a blue gown to the party to please Young Master Sheng along with his sister.
But now, he felt quite lucky in his blue attire.
"Destiny?" Handsome B evaluated Han Zhe nonchalantly.
The young man before him had a sunny and handsome air, even a maturity that belied his age.
At first glance, he was definitely a top-notch straight guy, only he wouldn’t have guessed that this Han Zhe might be interested in men—a pity, because he had approached the wrong person.
"We both seem to have a preference for blue," Han Zhe said, with a sparkle in his eyes, making no secret of his liking for Handsome B.
For the first time being stared at by a man with such a naked gaze, Handsome B could not help but feel his hairs stand on end.
Yet his face remained impassive, "I believe Mr. Han has made a mistake; blue is the color beloved by the woman I love." Having said that, he placed the glass of red wine gently onto a nearby server’s tray and went straight after Ye Shu.
Watching Handsome B’s tall silhouette, Han Zhe’s admiration spilled from his eyes and under the lights, his lips curved slightly upward in an indistinctly suggestive smile.
