Chapter35

……

Atobe Foundation, banquet venue.

Hotaru, whom Kazutobe had met a few days ago, was dressed in formal attire and entered the lounge of Sawajo Galaxy through the back door of the venue. Once she thought that today she would protect his girlfriend for the old man who is a cock, Hotaru couldn't help it. feel nervous.

After all, regarding his work today, Atobe prepared her mentally in this way before.

'Don't let anyone with a heart get close to Xinghe!You must memorize the blacklist I gave you! '

'If someone wants to offend her, you don't have to worry about anything, just beat the person first, and then I will take care of it. '

He even arranged for a dozen strong men to confront Yingying, and he had to see him put all the men down and confirm that she was strong enough before he was willing to place her beside Zecheng Xinghe.

Speaking of it, Hotaru felt a little weird at the time—after all, Atobe had so many bodyguards under his command, why did he insist on hiring her?But after she thought about it carefully, she realized that after all, Atobe really couldn't tolerate other men getting close to Sawajo Xinghe.

For example, she also received such instructions——

'If you find a man looking lewdly at Xinghe, help me scare that man away. '

'It's okay to stare away, in short, use your method. '

……What.

So what kind of bodyguard is this?

However, I always feel that it is quite funny to meet such an employer.

So, when Hotaru finally listened to the stinky and long lecture from Atobe, and finally waited for him, the host of the dinner, to leave the lounge, Hotaru finally ushered in the moment of being alone with Sawajo Xinghe.

"Ms. Sawajo, hello."

"Hello, you are Miss Wei, right?"

"Yes."

Hotaru looked at the long-haired, pretty girl, and her pair of clear starry eyes, and called Hotaru to begin to vaguely feel the reason why Sawajo Xinghe was liked by Atobe.

She felt that she had to take back her earlier statement that she was a "civilian".

After all, even though Sawajo Xinghe is a girl without any family background, she still has a natural, unique, intelligent and elegant temperament, and just meeting her clear eyes makes Yingying feel like a person. Can relax.

How should I say it?In terms of aura, Sawajo Xinghe is such a girl who makes people feel comfortable and at ease.

Not like those arrogant and domineering young ladies outside, but a clean girl.

No wonder Atobe tried so hard to protect her.

Thinking of this, Hotaru couldn't help showing a gentle smile to Sawajo Xinghe, and said to her: "...Leave me the task of assisting Miss Sawajo today, don't be nervous, I will take care of you when Mr. Atobe is away. Protect yours."

……

Chatted with the kind Sawajo Xinghe in the rest room about various topics of day or work, and even complained about Atobe's chicken mother's preparations, the banquet began soon, and Atobe, the organizer, settled the outside affairs After he was done, he came back and took Zecheng Xinghe out.

According to the contract Atobu gave her before, Hotaru does not need to go out with them during this period.

After all, Atobe will be by Sawashiro Xinghe's side during this time, he will introduce Xinghe to all the guests on stage, and personally take Xinghe to greet his parents.

For the rest of the time, Hotaru needs to join Atobe and Xinghe to replace Atobe who needs to socialize and guard Xinghe.

If so, Hotaru stayed on standby in the waiting room for an extra 10 minutes, until Atobe cue her out on the phone, and then she immediately walked to the banquet venue to accompany Xinghe Sawajo instead of him.

"Remember what I told you before, especially to keep certain people from approaching her, understand?"

"...Understood, I have already memorized the list Mr. Atobe gave me."

The tone of Yingying's answer was very serious, but Atobe nodded in satisfaction, and gently held Xinghe's hand under the watchful eyes of everyone, before he was willing to leave.

And Hotaru watched Atobe leave, and couldn't help but said to Sawajo Xinghe: "Miss Sawajo, although Mr. Atobe is a big man, but when facing you, he looks like an ordinary boy."

"After all, Jingwu and I have known each other since junior high school, so when facing me, he should maintain his original appearance." Xinghe, who was wearing an elegant dress, smiled and watched the straight figure gradually go away, and then said it with extra seriousness. Communicate with other high-class people or business partners with a majestic appearance, with gentle eyes.

In order to ease the tension of Sawashiro Xinghe being alone, Hotaru chatted with her very carefully, and at the same time, secretly started her official work today.For example, when you notice that someone wants to get close, take Xinghe away without a trace, or answer Xinghe's questions, and tell her that those are the guests on Atobu's blacklist—that is, the cunning and cunning people who Atobu doesn't want her to get close to. businessman.

"That's the owner of the Donghe Consortium. Everyone in the industry knows that he has always used disgraceful methods to acquire and transform old stores into his group's chain stores over the past few years. He is not really popular..." Yingying stood Beside Xinghe, reminded in a low voice.

"...Then why are they still standing?" Xinghe seldom heard this kind of inside story from Atobu—after all, he protected her well most of the time, and even when they were alone There is no atmosphere to explore such a thing.

But in her heart, she still wanted to know more about the opponent the Atobe Group was facing.

After all, that is the difficulty and the world that the person she likes is facing.

"...Because he has a background in the underworld." Yingying answered firmly, and when she mentioned this word, her eyes became a little more serious: "To be honest, most people who are in business must know some people who are in the underworld, but Acquaintance is acquaintance, there are not many people who really use the underworld to make small moves... Toga is a family, and the neighbors Jiusu, Masuda, and Shimizu are not very innocent. I didn’t hear about these things when I was a bodyguard everywhere not enough."

Xinghe suddenly realized something, and after listening to Yingying's explanation, she felt more and more that Atobu was somewhere she didn't know. In order to perfectly take over her father's business, she actually made great efforts.

No wonder he didn't want her to get involved in this world, and even repeatedly told her before the banquet that "it doesn't matter if she doesn't talk to anyone"... something.

"Thank you, Miss Wei, I really trouble you to explain so much to me." Thinking of this, she felt even more grateful to Yingying.

"It doesn't matter. I always think that although the truth is sometimes quite complicated, it is better to know than not to know."

"Yes," Sawajo Xinghe smiled at Yingying, "I feel like we can be friends."

"I think so too!" Yingying smiled at her: "Let's keep in touch later, it's sure to be safe for you and me to go out."

"...Pfft!" Xinghe was amused by Yingying's straightforwardness.

The two girls chatted in various corners of the banquet as low-key as possible, and Yingying always carefully led Xinghe to move around in order to satisfy Xinghe's curiosity, introduce black households in the business world, and explain the unspoken rules and etiquette of upper-class banquets. Talking about the history of a certain consortium together, introducing some high-end snacks at that time, and occasionally complaining about the taste of cocktails, this experience let go of all tension for Xinghe, who was a little worried about participating in the banquet for the first time. Opening up a new world in front of myself.

After looking at it several times, he was relieved to see her smiling at Yingying.

After all, he was worried that bringing her to the banquet would make her feel stressed.

"Hey, you can rest for a while, you can go eat something, and then I want to introduce a few people to Xinghe."

"Okay, Mr. Atobe, then I'll be back in half an hour."

And when Yingying and Xinghe were researching the materials for making some small snacks, the president with short gray-purple hair came over with long legs. He took away Zecheng Xinghe from Yingying, and motioned for her to do whatever she wanted. Go to the corner and eat something to fill your belly.

And Ying also felt that it would be better to be respectful than obedient—after all, she walked around the venue just now and found a lot of desserts that she thought were particularly delicate, and she really wanted to try them.

If so, she picked up the plate without hesitation, took a few pieces of pastries for herself, and hid in a corner to eat seriously.

At the same time, her gaze was also maintained in a "working state", looking around at the dynamics of the guests - after all, the information she collected in this place may also be used in her work in the Disciplinary Consortium.If so, she just stared at it until about ten minutes later, it seemed that another late guest was ushered in at the main entrance of the banquet hall.

Hotaru looked at the gate curiously, and the figure of the visitor was hidden behind two bodyguards covered in darkness, and it took a long time for it to gradually become clear.

Short red hair, a pair of burning red eyes and a delicate face.

Not to mention tall, but quite good-looking body proportions...

Uh, so this isn't Akashi Seijuro!

This is too coincidental, right?Firefly was a little surprised.

Speaking of it, it seems that since the first commission, she has always met with him on different occasions.

Because she was standing in the corner, Hotaru looked at the personable Akashi who was shaking hands with Atobe a little bit unscrupulously, just thinking about whether she should say hello to him, and Akashi who just finished greeting Atobe over there, His gaze just happened to sweep towards Yingying's direction, and collided with her gaze unexpectedly.

Immediately afterwards, the faces of the two people also showed surprise on their faces, and Yingying felt a little nervousness in her heart.

Oops, it looks like he was caught again.

……

...

After being noticed by Akashi, he didn't greet a few people, and then walked straight to Hotaru's side.

To be honest, she was quite surprised that Akashi would approach her so blatantly.

After all, as an upper-class person, isn't it easy to worry that your every move will be misunderstood by others?But Akashi never seems to worry about these things, maybe he has the leeway to ignore these things completely.

She estimated like this, and when she came back to her senses, Akashi had already walked in front of her.

"Do you like sweets very much?" As soon as he came up, he asked with a smile.

"Eh?" Unexpectedly, it was such an opening remark. Yingying, who was in a daze, was startled, and then looked down at her plate, and was surprised to find that almost all of the cakes she took were pastries.She blushed and explained seriously: "No, I'm just a little curious. I think the shape is quite special, so I only took a few pieces of cake."

"Pfft, I thought you didn't know how to eat at work." Akashi teased him.

"It was Atobe-san who asked me to rest, and recently, I'm also practicing eating more high-calorie foods..."

"Why? I rarely hear women make such a decision."

"Well, it's the need for physical exercise."

Hotaru answered solemnly, and when she came to pay attention, she found that she had inadvertently fallen into Akashi's rhythm.

The tension she felt when she first met his eyes was dispelled by his small talk, and Hotaru had no choice but to smile at Akashi compromisingly: "Mr. Akashi, I am really sorry about what happened last time... no, Thinking back, I always give you a lot of trouble."

"No, I'm also responsible for it."

The smile on Akashi's lips is elegant, he naturally knows the conflict between Hotaru and himself - in simple terms, Hibari found out on the spot that he poached two times, and every time she was taken away, the two of them would not know each other. Contact, so on every occasion of reunion, the two of them seem to have to break the ice all over again.

After Akashi said that, Hotaru had no choice but to fall silent.

So, Akashi thoughtfully went straight to the point——

After all, he never had such an opportunity on other occasions, and almost every time he brought up a related topic, the man Lark almost interrupted him.Although he wasn't afraid of that existence, he still found him somewhat troublesome.

After all, he is also a man, so he will understand what Skylark thinks more or less.

Therefore, he also felt that he didn't have much time to beat around the bush.

As a result, the corners of Akashi's mouth slowly curled up, and he picked up a glass of emerald green cocktail from the dining table in the banquet hall like Hotaru. He looked at Hotaru through a glass of fine nectar, as if he mustered up his mind Open your mouth when you are ready.

"Miss Wei, if I say that I like you very much, but actually I don't just want you to be my subordinate, will you think more about me?"

Hearing this, Yingying shook her hand and almost threw the plate full of cakes on the ground.
