Billionaire God of War

Chapter 263 Eyes On You

Master Fu looked at Jiang Ning with a mysterious smile. The glint in his eyes was even harder to read.

"I don't want any," Jiang Ning shook his head. "I have a cake at home, and it's even more delicious than yours."

"Tell you what. The slice I owe Zhang Cheng, I'll cut one slice from the cake I have at home. He won't get to enjoy Master Fu's cake."

Jiang Ning's second statement made Zhang Cheng fly out from the abyss and into the clouds.

He almost couldn't believe his ears.

What did Jiang Ning mean by that?

Was Jiang Ning taking him in?

But when he wanted to get help from Donghai, Jiang Ning had rejected him.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. It seemed a little disrespectful to Master Fu to agree to this arrangement in front of Master Fu.

Zhang Cheng suddenly felt like he was in a difficult position. He wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But from the looks of it, Jiang Ning's impression of Zhang Cheng wasn't as bad as before.

Jiang Ning didn't say anymore. He looked at Master Fu and waited for a reply.

Master Fu also remained silent for a while. They just continued looking at each other like that, and Zhang Cheng was super nervous.

"Zhang Cheng, you should thank Jiang Ning," said Master Fu after a long time.

"Thank you, Mr Jiang!"

Zhang Cheng immediately clasped his hands and lifted his wine glass. "Here's to you, Mr Jiang!"

He gulped the whole glass down and his eyes were a little red.

They had their fill of food and drinks and the cake had been split up already, so all the bosses felt settled now, with the exception of Zhang Cheng. He was still a little anxious.

Master Fu said that he was tired, so all the bosses understood what he meant. They all immediately clasped their hands to take their leave and didn't stay any longer.

"Jiang Ning, there's tea in the backyard, have some before leaving," said Master Fu.

He then turned to Lin Yuzhen and said, "Yuzhen, I didn't know both of you when you two got married. So I have a present for you to make it up to you two. Zhao, take Yuzhen to get it."

"Master Fu, I..."

Lin Yuzhen was surprised. Master Fu was giving her something?

Today was Master Fu's birthday but she hadn't brought anything along. So how could she take something from Master Fu?

"It's alright, you don't have to stand on ceremony with him," Jiang Ning nodded.

"Then...thank you, Master Fu," replied Lin Yuzhen.

"Miss Lin, this way please," Butler Zhao politely led the way.

Jiang Ning walked to the pavilion in the backyard with Master Fu. The tea set and tea leaves were all ready, and Broken Sword was pouring the hot water out.

"You're so assured around me?” Master Fu had his hands behind his back as he laughed and said, "That's the woman who's most important to you - aren't you afraid that I might harm her?"

Master Fu didn't think it was strange that Jiang Ning dared to let Lin Yuzhen move around Masquerade Club by herself.

"She's such a innocent and kindhearted girl. Even if she has nothing to do with me, would you bear to hurt her?" Jiang Ning calmly replied. "Twenty years ago you might have been able to, but I'm sure right now, you won't be able to."

He didn't say that he knew Master Fu wanted Jiang Ning to do him a favor, so there was no way Master Fu would harm Lin Yuzhen.

Master Fu laughed as he got Jiang Ning to take a seat. Broken Sword stood on one side and remained a bodyguard.

"She's a good girl, take good care of her."

"Do people become longwinded when they grow old?" Jiang Ning wasn't polite around him at all.

Master Fu took his time to prepare the tea leaves and did not rush nor leave a single step out. To him, making tea required concentration, and had to be made with great respect for the tea.

Jiang Ning sat across from him and quietly watched him.

"Now that Lu Qian is dead, the illegal circles of Linhai will become a mess," Master Fu finally broke the silence. "The

family that backed him will make their move."

"Not just me, their eyes are on you now."

The tea leaves floated in the tea cup as the fragrance filled the air. "It won't take long for someone to head southwards, and when that happens, your identity will be exposed."Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
