Chapter 12 - What made her different?

Nie Zhen was stumped. Other than wreaking havoc, what else would she do at the ball?

At that moment, her eyes found the couple she had been looking for.

Even the both of them were wearing mask over their faces, she could still recognize them. After all, she was not someone who would forget people who made deep impression on her.

She could recognize them everywhere and anytime, no matter the circumstances.

Her eyes narrowed. If human could shoot laser from their eyes, her eyes would have done so immediately.

The couple was busy greeting other people. Their faces were full of happy smiles.

She so wanted to approach them and do what she intended to do.

But then she remembered Li Han standing next to her. She could not ruin his reputation and drag him down along with her.

So she closed her eyes so as to calm herself down so as not to lose control.

When she opened her eyes, she turned to look at Li Han.

"This is just a hypothetical question. What's going to happen to you if I do something stupid and embarrassed myself tonight?"

Li Han cocked a brow. "Hypothetically?" He repeated the question.

"Yes, hypothetically."

He seemed to be deep in thought before answering, "Probably, my mom would scold me."

Oh, so he is worried about his mother....

What a good son...

But, that would not be as bad as she thought. Right?

Li Han continued, "Of course, that's nothing. At worst, I might not be chosen as the next family head."

"That bad!?" Nie Zhen almost jumped in shock.

"Someone who is not capable to choose his own partner and does not have an eye for people, how could he be trusted with more huge responsibility and lead a company full of thousands employees?" Li Han explained indifferently.

That... Sounds logical...

Hearing his answer, Nie Zhen almost wanted to kneel down on the floor in dejection.

Currently, her only thought was, she must be in her best behaviour tonight.

Must. Protect. His. Reputation.

Must. Not. Allow. This. Kind. Person. To. Be. Thrown. By. His. Family.

Like. Her.

"But, you don't have to worry about me. You can do anything you want to do here. After all, it is my own problem whether I were to be thrown out of the family or not. It is my burden to bear." Li Han continued in a helpless tone.

After hearing that, how could Nie Zhen still have the heart to do anything crazy? Her desire to make trouble disappeared completely.

I knew I should have come alone tonight…

She could only close her eyes and resign to her fate. She completely missed the mischievous glint in Li Han's eyes.

Meanwhile, Tang Bolin who was standing not far from them almost wanted to spurt out blood.

Just what did he hear just now?

Not to mention his boss just spoke more than ten words, he also blurt out complete nonsense!

Not being chosen as the next head?

My foot.

Don't you already lead the entire faction of the underworld in the country?

Being thrown out of the family? Your mom will scold you?

Hah! Isn't it your family who is afraid being thrown away by you? And in this country, who would dare to scold you!?

Is this really his boss?

Tang Bolin started to doubt whether his boss had been possessed by some alien from outer space.

"Excuse me. I'm going to the toilet for a moment. I need to fight it out with Lady Luck tonight." Nie Zhen excused herself.

"You are going to the toilet to fight with Lady Luck?" Li Han was dumbfounded.

"Yeah. Because I just found out that Lady Luck is full of shit tonight."

In truth, she needed a moment to recollect her thoughts and planned her next action.

Li Han just answered with a nod. There was an amused look on his face.

He sent her out with a gentle look on his face and soft gaze in his eyes.

After Nie Zhen left, his gentle look and soft gaze disappeared into thin air.

His demeanor changed 180 and he transformed back to his usual cold and indifference self.

Li Han looked at Tang Bolin and said apathetically. "Find a silent corner and keep people 100 meters away from me."

Tang Bolin almost wanted to choke on his saliva. How could people change so fast? From being gentle in one moment to completely cold in another.

But indeed, this is his boss. He had no doubt anymore.

So, he's gonna pretend he didn't see anything, didn't hear anything…

Tonight, I am a blind and deaf man…

But boss... 100 meters? Is this realistically possible?

Why don't you just ask for a private room. The walls could keep you away from other people.

Ah, he forgot!

His boss already had self-made invisible wall around him that could not be penetrated by others.

So, the question now is, how did this lady breaks through and enters his iron wall just now?

What made her different..?
