Chapter 143 How about I go with you?
A moment later, Zhao Da Kuang raised his head and looked at Su Yingxue with sincere eyes: "Yingxue, I know I was wrong."
It was my mistake; let's see how I perform in the future.
But please stop using my daughter as leverage to threaten me.
Aside from asking you to return to Shenzhen and to Tan Zhengchu's side, I'll do whatever you say on everything else.
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue slowly raised her eyes and said softly, "Alright, since you say so, I'll believe you this time. I'll accept your apology and promise."
She paused, her gaze sharpening again, and solemnly emphasized, "Zhao Da Kuang, I'll say it again, stop threatening me with my daughter. I hate being threatened all the time."
Zhao Da nodded hurriedly and replied, "Don't worry, I've got it."
Just then, a small commotion arose at the doorway.
Upon hearing this, the guests' attention was immediately drawn to it.
Emperor Yueye (Tan Zhengchu) was dressed in a sharp suit, which accentuated his neat and agile figure.
The clown mask on his face was mysterious and eerie. He was surrounded by a group of followers and walked slowly with steady steps.
That aura was as if it carried its own storm.
Wherever he went, people would unconsciously make way for him.
For a moment, gasps of amazement and murmurs rose and fell.
Seeing this, Zhao Er quickly leaned close to Zhao Da Kuang's ear and whispered urgently, "Boss, this Moonlit Emperor is something else! Rumor has it that he has access to top-tier weapon supplies, and countless people are desperate to buy them but can't."
"We've finally run into each other today, we should definitely get to know them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Da Kuang's eyes lit up slightly, and those exquisite weapon design drawings instantly appeared in his mind.
He had coveted it for a long time, but had repeatedly failed.
Thinking of this, he felt both angry and expectant, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I can't miss this time."
Zhao Da Kuang turned to look at Su Yingxue, waved his hand casually, and instructed, "Yingxue, go play by yourself for a while, and keep a close eye on Xiao Qi in the children's play area, make sure nothing goes wrong."
Su Yingxue nodded obediently, but her gaze was firmly drawn to the Moonlit Emperor not far away.
She saw Tan Zhengchu's dazzling, almost blinding figure. Many women around him looked at him with admiration, but none of them dared to step forward rashly.
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully examined him. She instantly caught the chilling aura emanating from Tan Zhengchu, which made her feel unapproachable. She was startled and thought to herself: Tan Zhengchu has such a powerful aura!
She quickly took two steps closer to Zhao Dakang and whispered, "Zhao Dakang, how about I come with you?"
Zhao Da Kuang didn't even turn his head and directly refused: "No need, you just take good care of Xiao Qi."
Zhao Da Kuang straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and strode toward Tan Zhengchu, who was surrounded by the crowd.
Seeing that he had ill intentions, the crowd wisely dispersed, leaving an open space.
Zhao Da Kuang stood in front of Tan Zhengchu, his face full of smiles. He bowed slightly and introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Da Kuang. I have long admired the name of Emperor Yueye. It is an honor to meet you today."
As he spoke, he generously extended his hand, intending to shake hands with Tan Zhengchu.
Tan Zhengchu, however, seemed not to hear him, remaining completely still. He glanced down at Zhao Dakang and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
That blunt and cold tone was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head.
Zhao Da Kuang's smile froze instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
He braced himself and said again, "My name is Zhao Da Kuang, the Moonlit Emperor. I've heard so much about you..."
Before he could finish speaking, seeing that Tan Zhengchu had no reaction, he had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand.
But when it came to those coveted weapons, Zhao Dakuang gritted his teeth and forced himself to swallow his anger.
He forced a smile back onto his face and sincerely invited, "Moonlight Emperor, why don't we sit down and talk in detail? I'm very interested in your weapons."
Tan Zhengchu nodded slightly and took the lead in walking to the sofa next to him and sitting down.
Seeing this, Zhao Da Kuang hurriedly followed and sat down opposite him.
He raised the wine glass with both hands and respectfully offered a toast: "Emperor Moonlit Night, bottoms up!"
Tan Zhengchu didn't hesitate; he raised his hand, took a small sip, and responded.
Zhao Dakang was initially uneasy, fearing that Tan Zhengchu would embarrass him again.
Unexpectedly, Tan Zhengchu suddenly spoke up: "Zhao Da Kuang, I've heard that you have some influence in Myanmar."
Zhao Da Kuang was flattered and leaned forward, his face full of smiles, and hurriedly replied.
The two chatted back and forth, and gradually began to laugh and talk.
The wine glasses were raised frequently, and the atmosphere visibly eased considerably.
The guests watching were all astonished.
Everyone whispered among themselves, speculating about what the two were up to.
Su Yingxue stood quietly not far away, her gaze fixed on the two people chatting happily—Tan Zhengchu and Zhao Dakuang.
They sat on the sofa, occasionally raising their glasses to drink together, their laughter breaking the surrounding noise.
Su Yingxue frowned slightly, her face full of doubt, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "When did Tan Zhengchu and Zhao Dakuang get so happy drinking together?"
"Could it be that they're trying to mislead Zhao Da Kuang?"
She knew that Tan Zhengchu was always shrewd and calculating, and that there must be something fishy about the current situation.
Just as he was pondering this, the third brother appeared silently like a ghost.
He stepped forward, bowed slightly to Su Yingxue respectfully, and whispered, "Miss Su, the young master has instructed that he will be staying at Zhao Dakuang's house tonight."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she gasped.
But in an instant, she seemed to have figured something out.
He nodded slightly, thinking to himself: Tan Zhengchu has always been domineering, so this might mean he won't allow me to live in Zhao Da Kuang's house.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, a faint smile appearing, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
What others saw as Tan Zhengchu's intense possessiveness was not only not annoying to her, but made her feel happy, as if she were being cherished. Such subtle emotions were difficult for others to understand.
Su Yingxue composed herself, turned to look in Zhao Dakang's direction, and gently called to the maid beside her, "Do you know where Xiao Qi is right now? I need to go find her."
The voice was soft, yet it conveyed an undeniable determination.
Zhao Dakang caught a glimpse of Su Yingxue's actions out of the corner of his eye, noticing that she didn't seem to pay much attention to Tan Zhengchu, the Moonlit Emperor, who was drinking with him.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quietly settled down, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He winked at Zhao Er and ordered, "Zhao Er, take Yingqing to find Xiao Qi. Protect her well and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Zhao Er accepted the order and quickly walked to Su Yingxue's side, bowing slightly: "Miss Su, please come with me."
Su Yingxue lifted her skirt and quickly followed Zhao Er.
She was very happy, her mind filled with anticipation and joy at the prospect of meeting Xiao Qi.
Su Yingxue thought to herself: while Zhao Dakuang and Tan Zhengchu are together now, she and Xiao Qi need to find a chance to sneak out.
