Chapter 045 Little cat
…
As soon as he enters the living room, Arthur Tang's gaze immediately landed on the beautiful young woman calmly sitting on the couch. He did not know why he came to this place when he heard that she was there. It was like his feet were dragged towards this place.
Suddenly, the figure of Celene blocked his sight and he regained his composure.
"Hello, cousin…" he greeted.
"Auntie, uncle… Cendric…" he added as he looks at the rest.
Celene is already grinning from ear to ear as she suddenly wrapped her arms around his and drags him to the sofa.
Arthur is showing an awkward expression as he stiffly followed.
When Jisoo saw this, she almost chuckled out loud.
Who would have known that this guy would be this stiff when being touched by a woman?
Stifling her laughter she could only smile.
"Arthur… let's have lunch together. It's been a long time since you've visited me even though we lived in the same city… I guess you're really busy with work…" Mayor Tang gestured for them to enter the dining room.
Soon a lavish lunch was served and everyone excitedly began to take their food while talking to each other.
Jisoo sat beside Helen as she observes the middle-aged woman's eating habits. When she sees her taking food that she should not eat, she would automatically take them away from her bowl.
At first, no one noticed this.
But soon, they would notice her taking and picking some of the food in Helen's bowl.
Helen who is talking to her son also noticed and then looks at Jisoo in confusion.
"This… What is happening?" she asked.
"Don't mind me… I'm just making sure that the nutrients you eat are just enough for your body… This is to prepare you for the treatment later on…" Jisoo explained.
Everyone nodded their heads and continue talking.
Soon, the lunch is over and Jisoo was led inside a room with Helen.
An hour later…
Jisoo walks out of the room, while her blouse has traces of sweat on them. One could even see it sticking on her skin.
Luckily her blouse is dark blue so it really did not show anything.
As she walks down the stair, several eyes are already glued on her. She looks below and notices the handsome Arthur Tang looking straight at her. She then noticed that the mayor is not with them.
The people in the living room, next to the stairs, could not help but look at her with a stunned expression in their eyes. This is because… her sweat has permeated her heavenly scent which has wafted in the air. It smelled like floral mint which makes one who could smell her scent feel calm and at peace.
She then looks at Arthur and when their eyes met, she noticed his face blushing a bit but he did not shift his eyes away from her.
While looking at him, she could not help but imagine him being a little cat looking at its master with its beautiful eyes.
She could not help but smile and then muttered.
"How cute…"
Her words might not be loud, but the three young people below heard her.
"Eh?! Are you saying that I'm cute, Sister Jisoo!" Celene showed a big grin.
"Umm… Of course, you are…" Jisoo replied with a teasing smile.
"So how is my mom?" Cendric's eyes did not linger on her as he knew that if he continuously looks at the woman, he might not be able to control himself and might say something that would embarrass him.
So he could only ask such a question to interrupt his line of thought.
"She's resting… She will wake up later… She will be hungry. There are 9 packets of medicine here. She should only eat porridge for 3 days starting today… Put one packet each meal until all of the packets are consumed. After that… she should be fine. I will come back after 2 days…" Jisoo instructed.
Celene nodded her head and accepted the packets.
"Umm, Sister Jisoo… where are you going after this?" suddenly Celene asked.
"Home, I guess…" Jisoo replied with a shrug.
"Umm… Would you want to go with me? One of my friends is celebrating her birthday… and she invited me." she said with an excited expression.
"Hmm… Well, I have nothing to do anyway… so it's alright." Jisoo agreed.
She has learned of parties and social gatherings in this world but has not experienced them before. And so she is a bit curious and wanted to see it for herself.
That afternoon, after Helen woke up… Celene and Jisoo instructed the maids on how her mother's food should be prepared and about the medicine packet. Then she quickly dragged Jisoo away from the house and the two went shopping.
Arthur and Cendric did not follow the two as they both went back to their work.
Celene clearly treated Jisoo like her best friend as they went to the shopping mall of city Vie and began buying clothes.
Jisoo bought a chiffon plain light gray blouse and high waist irregular wide-leg pants.
She likes the style because it made her remember her cultivator's clothes back in the day.
Meanwhile, Celene is a bit bold as she wanted to wear a light pink off-shoulder mini-dress.
As the two were choosing some clothes, Jisoo noticed a pair of eyes observing her.
She just frowned and did not bother with it. As long as they stay in their hands, then she would not fight them. She likes living a calm and easy life and she did not want this normal life to be interrupted… for now.
As they finished shopping, the two then visited a snack bar and eat something before going to the saloon.
Celene proactively helped design Jisoo's hair and makeup. The makeup artist in the saloon could not help but praise the beauty before her.
…
Golden Swan Club's entrance
That night, Celene drove her Audi A7 car to the Golden Swan Club. When the two alighted, many eyes are glued on them, especially on Jisoo whose beauty is now overwhelming to the point that people almost could see an aura coming out of her body.
The two then arrive in a hallway filled with people.
While walking to the hallway, Jisoo noticed that there are two large halls on both sides of the hallway. In another hall, there are also some people having a celebration. But in that place, most of them are men and they are wearing dark-colored suits, and many of them have tattoos visible even under their suits.
Those guys have the… bad guy… aura around them.
Some of them would even eye many of the women entering the hall where Jisoo and Celene are walking to.
When Jisoo and Celene walk near the entrance, they saw two men suddenly looking at them with a lustful look in their eyes.
Celene sneered and then coldly harrumphs as she grabs Jisoo's hand and walked inside the other hall.
As soon as she walks in, many young women immediately and excitedly ran toward her.
"Celene! You look ravishing…" one of them who seems to have an outgoing attitude teases.
"Well, you don't look that bad yourself…" Celene complemented with a smile.
Suddenly, someone from the group could not help but ask.
"Celene, introduce your gorgeous friend to us…" one of the women asked curiously.
"Ah… Yes, I forgot. Guys…, this is Doctor Sung. My new sister." She said as she link arms with Jisoo.
"Wow… you now have a new sister and so we were neglected…" someone teases.
Everyone chuckled at her words as they already knew of Celene's attitude. She likes making friends and all of her friends are her sisters.
"What are you talking about? She is not a member of my sisterhood!" Celene proudly said.
Jisoo could not help but roll her eyes inwardly at the antics of the woman. But she just showed a faint smile and greeted the rest.
"Hello… I'm Sung Jisoo…" she introduced herself.
Everyone showed a dazed expression on their faces as she heard her speak. Jisoo now noticed that she subconsciously leak a part of her aura which dazed the people in front of her.
Ever since her Reiki has been filling up really well, Jisoo sometimes could not control a leakage of her aura which could affect the mind of normal mortals.
In Talos continent, she did not have to control such a thing, but she knew that here, she must control it or else she might start a new cult in this world.
Among the group of people that was dazed by her voice and aura is a young man. He was talking with others but stopped as his attention went toward Jisoo's direction.
He could not help but almost gasped in admiration as he saw her beauty.
The other men around him also noticed his reaction and shifted their gazes at Jisoo. And when they did this, they were all stunned.
"When did a beauty appear in our circle of friends?" one of the men asked.
"Is she still available? I mean… I didn't have a girlfriend yet… maybe…"
"Are you dreaming? It's would be like a frog trying to eat a swan…"
"Are you calling me a frog?"
"If you're not a frog then what are you? Do you dare of dreaming of having such a goddess? Hahaha…"
The men suddenly discussed amongst themselves and some of the women in the hall pouted in annoyance.
Some of them are now annoyed by Jisoo's beauty. Although they are not that bad when it comes to beauty, they know that they are worlds apart when compared such a woman.
Suddenly, the discussion hushed as the background music suddenly disappears.
Then a tall and elegant-looking young woman walks onto the stage escorted by a middle-aged man. Beside that young woman stood a handsome-looking young man who looks at the crowd.
He has a proud and aloft disposition as he walks with the two.
The young woman suddenly hooked her arms around the arm of the handsome young man.
She looks at him with her loving eyes and then at the crowd.
However, her eyes stopped when they landed on Celene.
Then a faint annoyance could be seen in them before it vanished as she showed a faint smile.
Standing beside Jisoo, Celene whispered.
"That's my friend… Yvette."
