"Illegitimate son?" The man's brows knitted tight and deep. "Who told you so?"
She was still fuming in anger. Nobody except the general could bully her. She would have gone into a wild punching match if this were anyone else!
In this world, the weak would be devoured by the strong!
Only the strong would last!
She refused to look him in the eye. As he towered over her, he pinched her chin and ordered coldly, "Wear your dress and follow me. As to you drinking just now… We'll settle the score later at home!"
She refused to acknowledge his words and even kicked him lightly with her foot.
His handsome face sank and his fingers tugged lightly at the pinafore's hemline resting against her thigh. "You don't want to wear this anymore? Well, forget it, then."
The next moment, she was hurled over his shoulder with her buttocks exposed, leading her to let out a fearful scream…
"Are you mad, Zhan Muqian! Let me down!"
If she were to leave the bathroom with her legs exposed in this manner… she would rather kill herself.
The fearsome little tigress fought with her hands and legs and her feet finally landed on the floor.
With her hands trembling, she hastily put on the pinafore dress. When she reached to hook the straps, the man helped her and easily buttoned these with a click.
With her face bushing slightly with embarrassment, she walked out of the bathroom with a heavy face.
"M-Mianmian…" The moment Gong Xiaoqi saw her walking out of the toilet with flushed cheeks, X-rated images, of various restrictions, flooded her little mind…
Judging from the commotion going on earlier inside the bathroom, did the general force himself on her?
WAHHH~~ Surely, they are still in the honeymoon phase. Indeed!
The man took her hand and walked out of the room without a word.
…
It was not surprising to find him bringing the problem girl back to Room One straightaway.
Everyone looked quizzically at each other. Looking doubtful, Ruan Qingtong quickly got up and asked probingly, "Mr. Zhan, she is…"
All the rich men and women at the dinner could not wait for him to unravel the mysterious identity of this girl.
Looking composed, the man was about to open his mouth when…
With a naughty smile, Jiang Mianmian held the man's arm, shook it lightly and replied in a sweet and cheerful tone, "Hello, everyone. I'm General Zhan's… niece."
Niece?
Those who heard that could not help giving a puzzled frown.
Although this sounded fishy, it might not be unusual for a family with a longstanding history like the Zhans. Their clan was big and complex, so it would not be strange for the man to have a young lady as a niece.
The protagonist could observe the overt relief on Ruan Qingtong's face when she heard that she was the niece. The latter's face had instantly relaxed.
With a graceful smile, Ruan Qingtong commented, "So you're Zhan family's missy. I've known Mr. Zhan for a long time but I've seen you before, though…"
Circling her arm around his, the girl gave a silly smile at him before explaining softly, "I stay at the boarding school most of the time and hardly come out to play. Tonight is a coincidence. I've a friend who's celebrating his birthday at this hotel and I bumped into my Second Uncle just now…"
With his deep and penetrating eyes that seemed impossible to decipher, he snorted in an icy tone, "Hmph, what a coincidence, indeed."
Right about this time, an intoxicated-looking young man seated beside Ruan Qingtong got up suddenly, and looked at Jiang Mianmian with a half-smile. "Yo, the Zhan family has such a young, pretty girl. Why haven't I seen you before?"
In response, Jiang Mianmian dipped her head, smiling shyly at him.
The tipsy man pointed a finger at Ruan Qingtong and retorted, "Little girl, allow me to introduce this lady to you. This is Miss. Ruan, fiancee to your Second Uncle. They look so compatible, don't they?"
Somehow, Jiang Mianmian could feel her heart sinking when she heard that. Nevertheless, she nodded in acquiescence. "Eh… She's really pretty. I know this beautiful sister. She's a star. Sister, when are you planning to get married with my uncle?"
