Chapter 608 Hype
It seemed that she… She had seen everything…
Dorie leaned on the door. When she was fantasizing about the earlier scene, the door was opened
suddenly. Dorie jumped away in fright. She turned back and looked at Su, although the man looked
calm, Dorie noticed that his face was red…
"Umm, I, just now… I really didn’t see anything!" Dorie looked at Su and explained.
"Mm." Su answered indifferently. He lowered his head and walked towards his bedroom. He didn’t say
anything at all.
When Dorie saw him walking inside, she recalled something all of a sudden. Wasn’t he still injured?
After that, she followed after him.
"Hey log, aren’t you injured…" Once the door opened, Dorie was stunned again.
Su was just about to get change and the scene from earlier appeared once again, right in front of her
face.
This time round, it was even more impactful.
His chiseled muscles were laid bare in front of her.
"I, I, I…" Dorie stood there and didn’t know how to explain herself.
Dear me!!
Just let me die already!!
"You should get dressed first!" After saying that, Dorie walked out again.
Su’s expression was simply indescribable!
The man didn’t think that she would barge inside like that.
In the living room.
Dorie sat on the couch tensely. Her face was completely blushed. Would log feel that she did it on
purpose!?
It might be a misunderstanding the first time she saw him naked, but the second time…
AAHHH!!!
Please don’t treat me like a peeping tom!!
However…
Log’s physique was not half bad, not bad at all!
Even when put to comparison with those action stars, he was much superior!
When Su came out from inside, he saw Dorie sitting on the couch. He raised his eyes and glanced at
her and didn’t know what to say. Therefore, he simply decided to say nothing and keep quiet.
Dorie said nothing as well and went to cook.
After she was done, the two of them ate quietly.
During that time, Dorie was forcing herself to say some random topics and Su simply answered
simplistically. After some time, Dorie just didn't know how to carry on the conversation anymore.
When the atmosphere felt more and more weird, Dorie couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Umm… Okay, I’ll admit. I actually saw everything…"
*Cough Cough cough*
Right after Dorie said that, Su choked on his food.
Dorie looked at him and asked, "Are you alright? How are you feeling?"
Su lowered his bowl and Dorie hurriedly passed him some tissues, "You don’t have to be too riled, or
angry… Don’t worry, I will forget it in no time!!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
With her explaining like that, Su blushed even more.
The man had always been a ruffian and crude man, he never cared about matters like this. However,
he didn’t know what happened to him that day.
He felt shy in front of Dorie.
"Okay." Su nodded. The man lowered the tissues and continued to eat. He didn’t even look at Dorie.
"Are you embarrassed?"
"No!"
"Good then!" Dorie nodded to herself, "Otherwise I might need to take responsibility!"
"……"
Su choked on his food again.
The two of them continued to eat. Dorie was blunter, or maybe that she was just used to speaking her
mind.
She continued to think as she ate.
After some deep thoughts, she said seriously, "Log, I never imagined that you have such a good
body…"
*Cough cough*
Su’s cough made Dorie realized what she said. She hurriedly took out more tissues and passed to him,
"Don’t get too riled, I was simply commenting objectively!"
"……"
Now that the man saw her in close distance, he noticed that her eyes were red. It was obvious that she
had been crying.
The man had seen the news for the past few days.
It should be because of Ralphy…
He didn’t say much and nodded his head, "I’ll go get some water!"
"Sit here, don’t move. I’ll go get it." After saying that, Dorie stood up and went to pour him a drink.
Su sat there and looked at Dorie’s back view. His ever-serious eyes were showing a different
emotion…
In Alistair’s office.
The man sat on his swivel chair and crossed his legs. He was on a call.
"How was it? Perfectly done! How do you plan to thank me?" Jerry Kuang said smugly over the phone.
"How do you want me to thank you?"
"I prefer something practical!"
"I gave your newspaper such an interesting content. Shouldn’t you thank me as well?" Alistair asked
back.
"Hey, Alistair, are you demolishing the bridge after crossing the river? If it weren’t for me, do you think
anyone else could help you so much in Ralphy’s matter? Do you know how many profiting news I gave
up for you?" Jerry Kuang complained.
When Alistair heard that, his lips curled up, "Then I think I must thank you properly!"
"That’s for sure!"
"What do you want then?"
"It depends on how sincere you are!" Jerry Kuang chuckled.
Alistair pondered for a while and said, "Okay, call Sean and ShaoChen tonight, our usual place!"
"Okay, see you!"
After a simple conversation, they hung up the call.
At that time, Alistair took out his phone and sent a message.
Right after he sent the text, the door was pushed open in a sudden. Jack appeared by the door said
anxiously, "President Mu, we have a situation!"
When Alistair saw how anxious Jack was, he frowned, "What happened?"
"Due to us acquiring Hans Group’s shares, Kian Han fainted and got admitted into the hospital…" Jack
said.
When Alistair heard that, he frowned and stared at Jack, "Is the news credible?"
"I was told that he is currently admitted."
"Get someone to send a bouquet of flowers!" Alistair said.
Jack blinked his eyes, "Just, just like that?"
"If not?"
"And now that Kian Han got admitted into the hospital because of that, we might get condemned by
public opinion!" Jack said.
Alistair’s lips curled up, "That’s why I asked you to deliver flowers to them. And then, this is the PR
department’s problem!"
Jack stood there and he understood right away, "Got it!"
Alistair smiled. He took up his keys and walked out. "I am still busy, I’ll leave now."
After saying that, Alistair walked out right away.
When Annabelle received the text message, she came out from the design department and entered
Alistair’s car. The woman smiled, "Why did you call me so urgently? Where are we going?"
"Let’s go visit grandma in the hospital. After that, I will bring you to a special place tonight!" Alistair said.
Annabelle nodded and didn’t ask any questions. Since Alistair was acting all mysterious, she would just
wait and find out later that night.
When they got to the hospital, their grandmother continued to lie on the bed. Alistair asked about her
condition.
Annabelle examined the grandmother and she seemed to look better than before. At the very least, her
skin was a healthier color. However, she still didn’t wake up.
"Miss, may I know if there is anything we should be concerned with?" Annabelle asked.
"Madam Mu showed good readings in every aspect. Her body was fine as well. However, she still didn’t
wake up and we don’t know the reason. We just have to surrender to fate!" The nurse said.
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "We understand. Thank you very much!"
The nurse smiled and walked out.
Annabelle and Alistair accompany the grandmother for a while before leaving.
The two of them went back to change. At that time, the sky was turning dark. And the couple departed.
When they were in the car, Annabelle looked at Alistair. She pondered for a while and said, "Now that
grandmother’s body is pretty much recovered, I believe she will wake up soon!"
Alistair knew that Annabelle was comforting him and his lips curled up. He held Annabelle hand and
said, "I know. When grandma wakes up, let’s get her to be our marriage officiant! What do you think?"
Annabelle was stunned. After that she nodded, "Sure!"
"You said it!"
"I said it!"
"Sigh, grandma, please hurry and wake up. Your grandson’s happiness is all on you now!" Alistair
exclaimed.
As Annabelle heard the man from the side, she held Alistair’s hand and chuckled.
They reached the place soon after.
Annabelle got down the car and looked around the place. The woman frowned, "This…"
Alistair smiled at her and gestured her to go inside.
Annabelle didn’t think much and followed him inside.
The woman knew that Alistair and his three best friends shared an asset, they were operating a high-
class private social club – Night.
That seemed to be the place.
Just by standing on the entrance, one could tell from the lavish doorsteps that the insides should be
sumptuously luxurious. As expected, the moment she entered, she saw that the place was just grand.
She couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Those rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!
However, this private social club was different from the others. There weren’t many people around.
Everyone that could afford the membership and expenditure here was all extraordinary people.
Annabelle and Alistair walked inside. The moment the waiters saw Alistair, someone came and led
them inside. They walked directly to a VIP room.
That was their exclusive room.
"President Sean, president Kuang and president Mo are already inside." The waiter said.
Alistair nodded in acknowledgement.
And Annabelle realized that he brought her here to meet his friends.
When the door was opened, Alistair and Annabelle walked inside.
At that time, there were only three people inside and no one else. It was a spacious room and a
custom-made couch surrounded a black coffee table in an arch. Everything inside was screaming in
luxury.
It was just a private social club but they used the best furnishings.
It seemed that the four of them had invested heavily.
At that time, Sean, Jerry Kuang and Thomas Mo sat inside, holding a glass each. They seemed to be
chatting while drinking.
It wasn’t their first time meeting and hence Annabelle wasn’t nervous.
"Alistair, you were the one that invited us but you came last! Tell me, what should we do to you!?" Sean
said.
Alistair’s lips curled up, "We must always save the best for the last!" As he said that, he went over and
looked at a glass of wine, "I can just take one as punishment!" After saying that, he lifted up the full
glass of wine and bottomed up.
The three of them were used to his narcissism.
At that time, Jerry Kuang looked at Annabelle behind Alistair and said, "How about that pretty one
behind you? Shouldn’t she take one as well?"
Annabelle chuckled, "Sure!" As she said that, she walked over and took up a glass to bottom up.
"Wow! Nice!" Jerry Kuang cheered.
At that time, Sean looked at them and said, "Alistair, what do you mean by bringing someone here?
Have you decided to settle down?"
When Alistair heard that, he raised his eyebrows, "That’s right. Let me introduce to you officially,
Annabelle- my ex-wife, fiancé and future wife!"
When Annabelle heard how he introduced her, she burst into a giggle.
"I don’t have to introduce the three of them, right?" Alistair said.
Annabelle nodded. They had met several times in the past but they just haven’t drink together yet.
"All three of us were shocked by your high profile proposal. Alistair, nice dance!" As Thomas Mo said
that, he lifted his glass and took a sip.
When Alistair heard that, he raised his eyebrows and lead Annabelle to sit on aside.
"You guys better learn something from me, otherwise you might not be able to get a wife for the rest of
your life!" Alistair didn’t care at all. Since he had done that, it would just look unconfident if he were to
act awkward. He might as well be more magnanimous and awesome!
"Umm, I don’t think we will need that!" Jerry Kuang rejected it in a laugh.
Alistair raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I will wait and see!"
The four of them clinked their glass and took a sip.
At that time, Alistair recalled something all of a sudden and he looked at Sean, "By the way, Sean, I
heard that you have been changing taste. What now? Going after the innocent?"
Once he asked that, both Thomas Mo and Jerry Kuang broke into a laughter.
Sean’s expression changed. He knew what he was referring to and he said, "Who said I want to go
after that?"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Alistair raised his eyebrow tauntingly.
"Of course!" As Shawn said that, he raised his glass and sneered, "One must always pay for their
deeds!"
Alistair smiled and left his glass. The four of them clinked their glass again.
The group of men were chatting while drinking. At that time, Thomas Mo looked at the couple and
asked, "Now that the two of you are engaged, when do you plan to marry?"
When Alistair heard that, he turned around and looked at Annabelle. The two exchanged a look and
smiled. Although they had never said it, they knew what each other was thinking.
"Why? Are you eager to give your red packets already?"
"You don’t want it?"
"Of course! But don’t come if it’s just a few hundred thousand!"
Annabelle, "……"
When she looked at the four best friends, she couldn’t help but feel joyous and touched for Alistair.
It was truly a blessing to have brotherly friends like that. She could tell that they had a close
relationship.
After sometime, Annabelle could mingle together with the three friends.
Thomas Mo was the quiet type, but because Annabelle was present, he had been talking non-stop.
Jerry Kuang was the talkative one and Annabelle enjoyed talking with him.
In the end, Sean said suddenly, "I happened to recall something of outmost importance!"
"What is it?"
"I remember some time ago someone bet with us. That he will have to take a nude picture if he
loses…" After that, the man looked over at Jerry Kuang.
Jerry Kuang was stunned. He looked at them in disbelief and he hadn’t expected them to mention that
again.
At that time, Thomas Mo looked at Annabelle and the woman simply smiled back, "Don’t worry about
me!"
When Thomas Mo heard that, he said, "Jerry Kuang betted with us, he said Alistair will definitely end
up with Yoi. But me and Sean chose Annabelle. Therefore, the loser will have to show their nudes!"
Thomas Mo smirked and said calmly.
The man seemed to have waited for the moment for a long time.
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded. No wonder… The moment he mentioned that, the few men
looked at her.
Alistair sat there like a boss. He didn’t seem to be faking it but it looked natural, "Jerry Kuang,
remember to do a special headline for yourself!"
Jerry Kuang, "…"
The man glanced over the crowd and he decided not to lose face, "No problem at all! Look at my
perfect body, we should always share the good stuffs!"
"Exactly, maybe you can have more luck with women after that!" Sean mocked.
Jerry Kuang laughed, "That’s for sure!"
The couple continued to enjoy themselves with the friends. Annabelle was happy and she overdrank
herself unrealizingly.
Alistair carried her back home. Once they got into the room, Annabelle leaned on his body. The woman
had a pair of dreamy and enticing eyes. Alistair couldn’t help but felt a passionate impulse.
He lowered his face and kissed on her lips.
Annabelle couldn’t contain her emotion as well. When she felt Alistair's passion, she reciprocated.
The couple kissed passionately in the room.
Alistair laid himself on Annabelle and looked at her, "Annabelle…"
"Hmm?"
"Let’s get married!" Alistair looked at her and said lovingly.
Annabelle smiled. Her cheeks blushed and she answered softly, "Okay!"
The woman was tipsy and enchanting.
The man lowered his body and kissed her again…
The next day.
There was an explosive news.
When Annabelle read the magazine, she couldn’t help but got shocked.
When Alistair saw that Annabelle fixed her eyes on the papers, he stretched out his hand and snatched
the magazine away. And then the man then threw it aside.
"Eat!"
Annabelle started to eat her breakfast and she couldn’t help but exclaimed, "I never imagined Jerry
Kuang’s body to be that great!"
With that nude picture in the newspaper, probably there would be countless women losing sleep in A
city.
When Alistair heard Annabelle’s praises, he frowned and moved closer, "Really? Is his body that
great?"
Annabelle nodded honestly, "It really is!"
Alistair gritted his teeth, "Miss Xia, I think I haven’t shown you enough of mine!"
When Annabelle heard that, she broke into a giggle. The woman looked at Alistair and laughed, "Are
you jealous?"
"Why should I be? My physique is better than him!"
It was obvious that he was jealous but he denied it, that was the most adorable part about Alistair.
Annabelle looked at him and laughed, "Sure, yours is the best!"
When Alistair heard that, he nodded his head in satisfaction, "Good that you know!"
"I couldn’t help but worry. Will he get arrested? Was that considered damaging the city outlook?"
Annabelle chuckled.
When Alistair heard that, he raised his eyebrows and ridiculed, "I think he probably thinks that he is A
city’s outlook!"
As Annabelle recalled Jerry Kuang’s personality, she nodded agreeably. After that, they didn’t say any
more and continued their breakfast.
As expected, the moment she reached the company, everyone was holding a piece of newspaper.
Every single one of them!
When Annabelle saw that, she couldn’t help but shook her head. That was much more exaggerated
than she imagined.
It seemed that Jerry Kuang made himself a celebrity.
In the office.
Jack entered and reported, "Sir…"
When Alistair saw Jack, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it? Speak."
"Kian Han committed suicide in the hospital…" Jack reported.
When Alistair heard that, his gesture in reading documents paused. He turned his head over to look at
Jack and squinted his eyes.
"A lot of reporters had been bombarding our PR department’s phone. They want to interview you!" Jack
said.
At that time, Alistair tilted his head and looked at him.
Jack recalled something, "As per your instruction yesterday, I sent a bouquet of flowers over. But now
he came up with this!"
Alistair came back to his senses and continued to review his documents, "Did he die?"
"It was reported that he was saved, and now he had passed the dangerous period!" Jack said.
When Alistair heard that, he sneered coldly.
If a person was committed to die, he wouldn’t give others a chance to save him.
It seemed that Han Teneria was playing the victim card. He wanted everyone to know that Yun Rui was
bullying him.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Alistair turned his head over and looked at him, "Get the car ready. I will go visit him personally. Since
he wasn’t afraid to make it big, why should I be afraid? Let’s treat it as free advertising!"
Jack couldn’t help but admire his boss, the man could always make everything sound easy and settled.
Jack smiled, "Ok, right away, sir!"
In the hospital.
The moment Alistair reached, the place was swarmed with reporters trying to interview Kian Han.
Jack looked at the people outside and then back at Alistair, "Sir, should we take the special passage?"
"Since we are doing free advertisement, why should we take the special passage?" Alistair said.
"Open the door."
Jack nodded. The assistant got down the car and opened the car door.
The moment Alistair stepped out, a reporter saw him and he called out. After that, the group of
reporters rushed towards him.
"President Mu, may I know if you are here to visit president Han?"
"We heard that the reason president Han committing suicide was because you attempted to purchase
the Hans Group’s shares in high price. Can you clarify on that?"
"President Mu, you have dated the daughter of the Hans Group. Now that you did that, aren’t you afraid
to be condemned as a heartless man?"
The reporters bombarded Alistair with their questions. Alistair stood in the crowd and Jack was
escorting him.
"Please do not rush, president Mu will be answering as he sees fit!" Jack said.
At that time, the recorders were aimed at Alistair.
Alistair faced the camcorders and his lips curled up.
"Regarding the matter about Yun Rui acquiring that Hans Group, I believe everyone had seen the
news. Therefore, I do not find the need to clarify it again personally!"
"As for your claim that I was heartless?" Alistair smiled, "I had been financing the Hans family all this
while, yet the Hans family had never done anything for me in return. Why am I the heartless one?"
Once he said that, the crowd was in a furore.
Alistair simply smiled in grace, "Let’s stop it here. I shall go visit president Han first. Let’s continue this
some other day when I am free!" After saying that, Alistair strode inside.
Just two simple responses and he threw them off guard.
When Kian Han heard Alistair inside his ward, he was infuriated and he threw the remote control away.
"It seems that Alistair was determined to acquire the Hans Group!" Kian Han said hatefully.
