The moment that voice rang out, everyone in the shop, except for Wan Xiaoxiao and the sleeping Leo, turned their gaze towards the entrance.
Virgo's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. The person before her was Su Ling, the head of Su Corporation.
What was she doing here?
"Cough…" Virgo coughed.
The other members of Black Palace glanced at Virgo, seeing her tapping rhythmically on her thigh.
"This is one of the mission targets."
Wang Hao was the first to react: "Cough."
He responded with the same gesture: "Do we need to deal with her directly?"
Virgo's lips twitched slightly: "I mean, we can gather some intelligence."
"Cough." Feng Liuliu tapped rhythmically on the wine bottle in his hand.
"About Dragon King Palace, about Lin Xiu?"
"Yes."
Wang Hao frowned, crossing his arms and tapping his shoulder: "Torture?"
Feng Liuliu slapped his forehead, pretending to switch to another drink as he replied: "Qi Qi can."
Virgo and Wang Hao turned their gazes to Liang Qiqi.
Liang Qiqi looked around, then nodded: "Cough, cough!"
However, this strange scene left Su Ling somewhat bewildered.
Not just Su Ling, but Wan Xiaoxiao and Su Shuang were equally confused about what these four people were doing.
"Um… are you all catching a cold?" Su Ling asked tentatively.
If that were true, she would have to leave.
The corporation had so many matters right now; it would be bad if she caught a cold.
"No~ How could that be? We just choked, that's all." Feng Liuliu said with a smile, "What would this young lady like to drink?"
Virgo stepped forward at this moment: "This way, please."
Su Ling followed Virgo, half-believing, half-doubting, planning to leave if anyone coughed again.
Fortunately, no one coughed until she was seated, and Su Ling relaxed slightly.
She chose a seat at the bar; it was the most comfortable spot when alone.
"Have a look." Feng Liuliu pushed the drink menu in front of Su Ling.
Su Ling shook her head: "You pick one for me."
A subtle curve appeared at the corner of Feng Liuliu's lips. Liang Qiqi, watching from the side, saw a reflection in Feng Liuliu's glasses, revealing a sinister expression in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"If it were me, I'd recommend this one—'Calamity Approaches'." Feng Liuliu pointed to the top cocktail on the menu.
Su Ling's brows were tightly furrowed, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes: "Does it have some meaning? It doesn't sound very auspicious."
She had come here to relax a bit, but she didn't expect the bartender to recommend such an unlucky drink.
"Miss, I understand your concerns, but this drink isn't to be understood that way."
Feng Liuliu explained with a fake smile.
"Calamity approaches but has not yet arrived. Drinking this now signifies that disaster will pass, and misfortune will vanish."
Hearing Feng Liuliu's explanation, Su Ling showed a look of realization, and her brows relaxed slightly.
"Furthermore, since you are our first customer today, you receive a special gift."
Feng Liuliu said without batting an eyelid.
Su Ling's face completely relaxed then, revealing a faint smile: "Then I'll have to try it."
"Alright, please wait a moment." Feng Liuliu bowed slightly and began selecting ingredients.
"Then I'll go prepare too~" Liang Qiqi ran out from behind the counter and into a room on the side.
Wan Xiaoxiao watched for a while, feeling it wasn't very interesting, and decided to have Su Shuang tutor her studies instead.
After all, her goal was to reclaim everything Jiang Junyi had promised!
On the other side, Virgo and Wang Hao had somehow gathered together, their gazes towards Feng Liuliu filled with contemplation.
"If necessary, I will eliminate the target." Wang Hao whispered into Virgo's ear, his nose twitching slightly, "The kind that leaves no bones behind."
He smelled a peculiar fragrance, neither faint nor strong, yet with a cool sensation that permeated his lungs.
Wang Hao's eyes lit up slightly. Could this be a topic?!
Virgo tilted her head: "Let's observe the situation first. Capricorn values this shop quite a bit."
"By the way, what perfume are you wearing? It smells quite nice." Wang Hao stared at the counter, tilting his head slightly and inhaling deeply, "I've never smelled this scent before."
Virgo suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes appearing somewhat shocked.
Wang Hao looked at Virgo, puzzled: "?"
"Give me some? I'll spray it at home."
Virgo's eyes instantly turned cold, and she raised her leg.
"Bang!"
"Clatter!"
Virgo slowly uttered two words: "Pervert."
Looking closely, the tip of Virgo's ear, usually an ice-cold poker face, was subtly red.
Before Wang Hao could react, he was already staring at a vast blue sky, stuck in the middle of the French window, looking bewildered.
No, what did I do?
If it's about being a pervert, shouldn't Young Master be the one?
"Achoo!"
Jiang Junyi, who was on the sofa kneading Wan Qingyun's small feet, suddenly sneezed: "Who the hell is cursing me?!"
"You've held this foot in your hand for at least twenty minutes, and swallowed four times… Aren't you going to switch?" Wan Qingyun's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked helpless.
"Oh, oh, sorry, I was lost in thought." Jiang Junyi rubbed his nose, "Then let's switch to this one."
He put down Wan Qingyun's right foot and picked up her left.
Wan Qingyun was quite helpless but didn't know what to say.
Jiang Junyi's excuse was—to prepare for her regaining sensation later.
She shook her head and picked up her book to read.
Anyway, she couldn't feel anything, so let him do as he pleased.
"Ding ~ Detected that the pure love target is feeling a little happy inside because the host is infatuated with her jade feet. Pure love value +1+1+1~"
Jiang Junyi smiled subtly: "Hmph, woman, you've been exposed!"
After kneading for a while, he thought of the collaboration with the Su Family, so he asked, "How's the collaboration with the Su Family going?"
Wan Qingyun put down her book, her delicate brows slightly furrowed: "It seems there have been some problems with the Su Family."
Jiang Junyi raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Elaborate."
Wan Qingyun thought for a moment and said: "Originally, they planned to display a new cosmetic product at Jiangyan Building for various wealthy families to try."
"But for some reason, the raw materials supply has been cut off."
"Cut off?" Jiang Junyi frowned, "Shouldn't something like that be settled at the very beginning?"
Wan Qingyun shook her head: "I'm not sure either."
Jiang Junyi thought for a while but couldn't figure it out: "It's fine. It's the Su Family who's in a hurry. This situation is actually beneficial to us."
"Yes…" Wan Qingyun responded, then shyly said, "Um… it's too close…"
"Huh?"
"My foot…"
Jiang Junyi snapped back to reality, seeing the tender, white little foot right by his mouth.
"Tsk, ah!"
He smacked his lips and quickly put it down.
The most painful thing in this world is to love and not possess.
"My feet are dirty… you can't eat them…" Wan Qingyun said softly, her face red, explaining.
If she hadn't felt her thigh being lifted, she wouldn't have known Jiang Junyi was about to put his mouth on it.
"Cough, cough, I was just thinking, it's not what you think. How could I be such a pervert?!" Jiang Junyi explained.
"Alright, alright~ I know." Wan Qingyun chuckled softly.
Jiang Junyi smiled helplessly: "Why do I feel like you're coaxing a child?"
"Just pretend I am."
Actually, it wasn't his fault. When one loves someone deeply, they often do things that seem perverted.
At this moment, Jiang Junyi's pupils contracted slightly.
"Ding ~ You have a new confidential document!"
