CHAPTER 153: CHAPTER 148 WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PERSON, STUNNED BY HANDSOMENESS? (SECOND UPDATE)

Huo Li’s arm was gripped tightly by the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat, causing her to cry out in pain.

Yi Luowa quickly pried the bodyguard’s hand off, "Let go now!"

The bodyguard glanced at Yi Luowa and released his grip, "I’m sorry, Young Madam. Fourth Master instructed me not to let you get even slightly injured, I..."

Yi Luowa huffed angrily, "Forget it. I’m not blaming you, but if you want to protect me, take a look at who’s in front of you. She’s my friend; how could she possibly hurt me?"

"I’m sorry." The bodyguard seriously apologized to Huo Li.

Huo Li rubbed her arm and glared at him, "Later, I’ll break your leg and say sorry to you too."

"Miss, if you want my legs, I’ll give them to you right now, as long as Young Madam isn’t upset."

Huo Li cast a sinister look at Yi Luowa, "What kind of people did you find? Giving their arms and legs away just like that?"

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled, "They’re the Eagles of Xiawu."

"Eagles?!" Huo Li slumped weakly onto Yi Luowa’s shoulder, "I know you have a thing for uniforms, but if you marry a military man in the future, you two will barely see each other. Can you handle that?"

"They aren’t military men; they’re even more formidable than that—they’re the Eagles of Xiawu." Yi Luowa glanced outside, then pulled her arm and massaged it. "We’re here. Don’t embarrass the boss. Be poised, ladylike, OK?"

"We’ll see about that!" Huo Li rolled her eyes at her. When the car stopped, she followed Yi Luowa out.

Tong Airui quickly walked over. It was the first time Huo Li saw his true face, and she froze for a moment, "This... this guy..."

"What’s up with him? Has his handsomeness stunned you?" Yi Luowa teased, giving her a playful push.

Huo Li slapped her forehead hard, "How come this guy looks kind of like my dream man?"

"Haha..." Yi Luowa laughed and pinched her arm. "Did you already forget what I just said? Show some restraint, don’t drool! And listen up—that’s the boss’s man, so don’t get any funny ideas!"

Tong Airui chuckled; his little wife was already staking her claim.

Justus’s eyes flashed with a hint of an unidentifiable emotion as he observed the three of them from neither too far nor too close.

Huo Li rubbed her arm and said, "I’m not kidding—I’ve definitely seen this guy before."

"Saw him in a dream, I know." Yi Luowa grabbed her hand and started walking, "Quit swooning. Let’s go fill our stomachs first so we don’t keep Justus waiting."

Huo Li turned her head towards Tong Airui, "Hey handsome, have you ever been to F Country?"

"Never." Tong Airui shook his head expressionlessly, silently praying that this troublesome girl didn’t actually recognize him.

"Hey handsome... mm mm..."

Yi Luowa suddenly clamped her hand over Huo Li’s mouth, "One more word and I’ll leave you here, got it?"

"Mm mm..." Huo Li’s face flushed red as she kept shaking her head frantically.

Yi Luowa refused to let go, dragging her straight into the elevator.

When everyone finally stepped into the Bamboo Hall, Yi Luowa released her hand in disdain, "Now you can talk."

Huo Li gulped in fresh air and huffed in anger, "I’m not talking now! I’ll chat privately with the handsome guy later."

"Break your legs!" Yi Luowa laughed as she pressed her down into a chair.

Tong Airui pulled out a chair and waited for Yi Luowa to sit. Once she did, she spoke angrily, "Now I get it—don’t fear a godlike opponent; fear an idiot teammate. This pig will be like this for the rest of her life, so just pretend you didn’t see anything."

"Mm." Tong Airui smiled dotingly and called out to Justus before settling down beside Yi Luowa.

"I wasn’t sure what flavors you guys like, so I took the liberty of ordering a few dishes from F Country. Check the menu and see if there’s anything else you’d like."

Right after Tong Airui finished speaking, the waiter handed menus to Justus and Huo Li.

Justus curved his lips slightly, "I’ll go with the host’s choice."

"Nope, that’s not happening. We absolutely have to make him pay through the nose!" Huo Li giggled as she flipped through the menu. She couldn’t read the words, but she recognized the Arabic numbers. She ignored which dishes might taste good and intentionally picked the ones with three- or four-digit prices.

Yi Luowa coughed lightly, but Huo Li acted as if she didn’t hear and continued selecting.

Yi Luowa coughed again.

Tong Airui gently held her hand, smiling, "Your friend came a long way; we should treat her well as the hosts."

"This pig is just asking for trouble!" Yi Luowa pouted and turned to Justus, "Senior, did she embarrass you on the way here?"

Justus smiled and shook his head, "She was very well-behaved on the trip. She only shows this chaotic side of hers in front of you."

Yi Luowa nodded with a grin, "True. She keeps up an act in front of strangers, but she turns into her true pig-demon self only around me."

"Yi Luowa, if you say one more thing about me, I’ll cut ties with you!" Huo Li slammed the menu down in frustration.

"Would you really?" Yi Luowa asked cheerfully.

"You’re abandoning me anyway, so why wouldn’t I!" Huo Li pouted as she glanced at Justus, "Luowa is going to Xiawu."
