Chapter 406: Carnival Party 5

Wang Shuze was taken aback, then smiled apologetically and let go of her hand. He took the juice from Ling Xuejiu’s hand and said, "I saw a bug fly into it just now, so I wanted to stop you. I’m really sorry I didn’t get a chance to warn you beforehand, I hope you don’t misunderstand anything!"

The reason Wang Shuze didn’t directly say he saw Jin Xianhao spiking the juice was actually for the sake of his racing team. If people knew that the vice-captain of the Wind Racing Team would use such despicable means to play with women, the team’s reputation might plummet. Although he was very angry that Jin Xianhao’s target was Ling Xuejiu, he still didn’t want to reveal the truth to protect the team’s image.

"Ah?" Ling Xuejiu turned pale with fright, "A bug? What kind of bug?" As she spoke, she couldn’t help but lean in and look into the juice, "I don’t see anything?"

"It might have fallen inside," said Wang Shuze. "As for what kind of bug I didn’t see clearly, it could have been a fly!"

Upon hearing it might be a fly, Ling Xuejiu felt her scalp tingle with disgust. She patted her chest and, after a moment, seemed to feel that she was behaving too timidly in front of Wang Shuze. She then forced a composed smile and said with effort, "Thank you. I’m really sorry, I didn’t know that was the reason!"

Wang Shuze smiled like a perfect gentleman and said, "Not at all." While speaking, he casually placed the juice on a tray held by a passing waiter, then took out a glass of red wine and handed it to Ling Xuejiu, saying with a smile, "How about some red wine to calm the nerves?"

"Sure!" Ling Xuejiu took the glass, clinked it gently with Wang Shuze’s, and each took a small sip.

"Umm, Mr. Wang, I’d like a drink too, why didn’t you get me one?" Li Mengjie said cheerily from the side.

Wang Shuze was startled, then laughed and said, "Sorry!" As he spoke, he beckoned a waiter over, who immediately came with a tray of various drinks.

Wang Shuze took a glass of red wine and then handed it to Li Mengjie, saying, "Miss Li, here you go!"

Li Mengjie took it with a giggle, then looked concerned and asked, "There’s no fly in this one, too, is there?"

Wang Shuze gave an awkward smile, not sure what to say.

Ling Xuejiu knew Li Mengjie was teasing Wang Shuze on purpose, but she also felt a bit annoyed. After all, finding a fly was a hygiene issue, and for such a luxurious venue to have flies coming in was unacceptable. Indeed, the blame could fall onto Wang Shuze, the host of tonight’s party.

"Ze, so you’re here!" Suddenly, a woman with purely white hair, wearing a white mask, a blue floral dress, and revealing slender beautiful legs, came over. She greeted Wang Shuze and then turned her gaze to Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie, gave them a brief look as if finding them slightly unfamiliar, and then said, "Haha, new friends? Why don’t you introduce us?"

Wang Shuze smiled faintly and said, "They are two classmates from school. This is Ling Xuejiu, and that is Li Mengjie."

"Hmm?" The woman with white hair paused briefly, then gave the two girls Ling and Li another look and laughed, "So it’s the illustrious Ling Family’s Daughter and Miss Li. Nice to meet you, I’m Jin Shanyan."
