The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician-Chapter 526 - 280: Cuteness Is Worthless In Front Of Sexiness_2
After that, she seemed to have noticed something, the imposing aura, the graceful figure, "Is this Li Yuntang?"
"Mhm." Jiang Shu nodded, then he made a sound of confusion, "Mhm?"
Because Liu Tingruo, standing in front of him, reacted very strangely. First, she looked at her own attire, then pondered for a moment, and finally made up her mind, slipping away just like that.
Slipped away.
Jiang Shu: "???"
Even Jiang Shu didn’t have time to stop her; by the time he realized what was happening, Liu Tingruo had already run far away.
"Just a moment." She merely left those words behind and hurriedly left.
Jiang Shu: "..."
What on earth was this woman thinking?
Even her speed of escape made him wonder if she had let something slip.
But that shouldn’t be the case; there hadn’t been any sort of dramatic incident last night involving bloodshed. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
With such doubts in mind, Jiang Shu returned to the Magic House because there was another guest there.
"Who is it?" Li Yuntang saw Jiang Shu enter alone, and asked out of curiosity, "A staff member from the theater? My issues have almost been resolved...will I be disturbing your normal work if I continue to stay here?"
"This...no, it’s fine." Jiang Shu shook his head, he hadn’t driven Li Yuntang away because of Liu Tingruo.
What a joke, Sister Ruo had already seen Li Yuntang, and it was better to hurry and send Li Yuntang away while Sister Ruo was gone; that would surely make the legitimate party suspect something, right?
"It’s my..." Jiang Shu thought for a moment then, with a man’s bizarre possessiveness, introduced Li Yuntang seriously, "fiancée."
Never mind whether she actually held that title; not directly calling her his wife was polite enough.
"Fiancée?" Li Yuntang’s expression turned into one of surprise, "You already have a fiancée?"
"Yes." Jiang Shu nodded as if it were obvious, "Why? Is it strange? I’m not getting any younger."
"Mmm, that’s true; it’s just that I’ve never heard about it in the public eye, which is a bit strange." Li Yuntang didn’t show much curiosity, her teasing comment followed, "Well then, all those female fans of yours are going to explode."
"Female fans... I didn’t know I had those." Jiang Shu chuckled along, "Aren’t my audiences supposed to be impressed by my talent?"
But Li Yuntang seriously scanned Jiang Shu’s face from top to bottom like a talent scout, "Good base. If you’re willing, a little grooming could get you debuted, and even if you’re not, your skills are enchanting enough to attract the ladies."
"Thanks for the compliment." Jiang Shu picked up the bowl in front of him to drink, but suddenly, he stared past Li Yuntang, mouth agape, and didn’t even notice when he dribbled some water out.
It was Liu Tingruo who had walked in, but she looked completely different from before.
A black knee-length dress, with silk embroidered patterns that made the outfit elegant without being too solemn.
The modest V-neck didn’t cover the extent of her chest, and the cinched waist perfectly accentuated her slender figure, well-proportioned with just the right amount of curves.
Her head adorned with a black floral decoration, her makeup light yet highlighting her more refined features, Liu Tingruo appeared as if she had stepped out of a classical era, exuding a captivating fragrance.
The entire person was completely transformed, incomparable to the innocent and cute Liu Tingruo from before.
Jiang Shu silently swallowed.
Although he didn’t know how Liu Tingruo managed to change her outfit so quickly, there was still something he wanted to say.
Indeed, cuteness stands no chance against sexiness.
"Is this Mr. Jiang’s fiancée?" Li Yuntang stood up; despite being in the Entertainment Series for many years, she hadn’t seen such a stately woman often. The moment she saw Liu Tingruo, she was even momentarily stunned.
It was a shock of beauty she hadn’t felt in years.
"Fiancée?" Liu Tingruo’s eyes twinkled; she shifted her gaze to Jiang Shu, a hint of teasing hidden within her eyes, but she didn’t show it, simply nodding lightly in acknowledgment, and briefly introduced herself, "Yes, my name is Liu Tingruo. Liu of tree willow, Ting of riverbank phylica, Ruo as in ’seems like’."
"Hello, I’m Li Yuntang, ’Mu Zi Li,’ the ’Yun’ means ’allow,’ and ’Tang’ is from ’haitang,’" Li Yuntang said to Liu Tingruo as she extended her hand, smiling, "Although it’s a bit abrupt, I still want to say, Miss Liu’s beauty is striking, no wonder Mr. Jiang is head over heels for you."
"Thank you." Liu Tingruo used the same official smile, shaking hands with Li Yuntang, "I often saw Miss Li on TV before. Meeting you in person today, you indeed have dazzling charm."
Yes, yes, yes, Charm, Shot, Shot, Shot, Shot!
(Charm, 魅力; Shot, 射.)
Jiang Shu glanced at this barrage, calmly kicked little Yi aside with his foot.
It has to be said that turning off Yi’s flight mode and putting on those little shoes was one of his wisest decisions.
At least in this way, Yi could only stay on the ground, and only he could see its barrage.
His gaze returned to the long table. Although Li Yuntang and Liu Tingruo still appeared amiable, Jiang Shu always felt a strange competition between them.
It wasn’t anything like a battleground, just the instinct of pretty women, that’s all.
"Beep—" At that moment, Li Yuntang’s wristwatch beeped. She glanced at the message on her watch, her face timely showing an apologetic expression, "I’m sorry, I must leave."
"No problem." Jiang Shu also stood up, smiling, "Since Miss Li has other matters, I won’t keep you any longer. Take care."
"Miss Li, take care," Liu Tingruo said following suit, "It’s a pity to say goodbye just after meeting, I hope next time we’ll have a chance to talk."
"Sure, goodbye." Li Yuntang said to them both, then she also smiled, "Please be sure to invite me when you two get married."
"Will do," Jiang Shu said.
Then, Li Yuntang left the Magic House, and Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Li Yuntang knew her limits and left right away.
"Bang—" The door of the Magic House closed, and Jiang Shu turned to the elaborately dressed Liu Tingruo, his expression teasingly amused: "You look like a peacock right now."
"It’s just that I suddenly felt that style doesn’t suit me," Liu Tingruo responded, her face stern.
Jiang Shu found it amusing; he pointed to Liu Tingruo’s outfit and asked, "Where did this come from? And this makeup... do you girls really carry a dressing room and makeup kit everywhere?"
"The clothes were prepared in advance and kept in the car, and as for the makeup, even I keep a full set in the car," Liu Tingruo rolled her eyes, "What, you don’t like it?"
"Of course I like it," Jiang Shu said as he stepped forward and wrapped his arm around her waist, "but I like all your looks."
"Cut it out, you always say that," Liu Tingruo sighed wistfully, "You look differently at each of my styles."
Jiang Shu awkwardly scratched his head, merely smiling.
"She came to you... because of the Entertainment Series, right?" Liu Tingruo continued, her fingers tracing the contours of Jiang Shu’s face, "I hope you can keep yourself under control, I don’t want to hear any romantic rumors."
"Of course," Jiang Shu nodded as he activated the Simulated Light Screen on his wristwatch, then opened that video.
It already had five million views, and the Sages Group’s related incident had been pushed to the cusp of a storm.
Most notably, on the trending video list, five out of the top ten videos related to the Sages Group, including several posted anonymously by former employees of the group revealing the company’s true nature.
Besides, there were two videos related to the Workers’ Rights Act.
And the remaining ones included videos such as "Li Yuntang Writing with a Pen," "Li Yuntang’s Identity Besides Being a Star," and "Li Yuntang Discussing Internet Celebrities."
It could be said to be quite Lonely City.
"Hmm..." Liu Tingruo glanced at the display on Jiang Shu’s wristwatch, blinked understandingly, then sitting on the long table, swinging her legs, asked, "Do you need my help? I can make everyone online see this video."
"No need, no need," Jiang Shu quickly shook his head, "Let it ferment naturally. Using unconventional methods might backfire."
Then, he took out a few gadgets from the Magic Cabinet: "So now, Miss Liu, would you be so kind as to watch the magic performance I have arranged for the day after tomorrow’s show?"
"It would be an honor," Liu Tingruo flipped off the table and sat where Li Yuntang had previously sat.
