Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 108 Dinner Party

"Don't let him die"

"Let him die."

"Don't let him die"

"..."

Geng Miaowan sat in Feng Xiaotian's villa room, holding a flower she had picked from his garden. She plucked a petal and muttered a sentence, looking quite resentful.

Xiao Bai and Xu Ruwen both felt they couldn't take it anymore and ran away. Her only listener was Luan Hao, who couldn't run away from inside her body. However, in order to avoid trouble, he resolutely chose to fall into a deep sleep.

She muttered to herself as she plucked all the petals from the flower. This was the fifth flower she had picked, but she still hadn't decided whether or not to listen to He Chaobai.

She felt like she was in control of the situation, so why had it suddenly shifted to his side? This truly baffled her. The current situation was that if she didn't do as he said, he wouldn't cooperate, potentially resulting in his death and her failure to complete the mission.

"Ugh, so annoying!!" she yelled.

The three people and one dog in the living room exchanged knowing glances upon hearing the roar coming from her room.

A few more days passed, and more than a month had passed since Yi Lanfeng's death. During this time, Qiu Pi would often ask her to meet whenever he had time, and he began to pursue her in various ways, including watching movies, eating out, shopping, and being romantic.

She wanted to refuse, but he seemed not to understand her meaning and continued to do as he pleased.

However, He Chaobai did not contact her again, seemingly waiting for her decision, and seemingly very certain that she would choose to help him.

That day, Qiu Pi said he would take her to a business banquet. She wanted to decline because she was not feeling well, but Feng Xiaotian learned that He Chaobai would also be attending the banquet.

Geng Miaowan hadn't seen He Chaotian for a long time. It wasn't that she couldn't ask him out; on the contrary, he had given her a phone number she could contact directly. But she was afraid that if she called him, he would press her about that matter.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but the favor he asked her to do went beyond her moral standards, which put her in a difficult position.

Although previous information indicated that the mysterious killer did not have a habit of committing crimes consecutively, generally with intervals of two or three months, it's hard to guarantee that the killer wouldn't suddenly change their mind and decide to kill sooner.

So she decided to take the opportunity to check on him.

Qiu Pi picked her up at noon, and after they had lunch together, he took her to choose a dress, and then to a high-end salon for styling. She was only able to escape this systemic ordeal just before the banquet was about to begin.

The fitting room door opened. Geng Miaowan slowly walked out and stood opposite Qiu Pi, asking, "Doesn't this look strange?"

Qiu Pi, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, opened them.

Her jet-black hair was pulled up into a loose bun, adorned only with a crystal hair clip, with a few strands of hair hanging naturally from her temples. Although she wore only light makeup, her already stunning beauty was further enhanced by the makeup artist, making her appear flawless.

Her large eyes sparkled with a moist luster. Her fair skin, smooth and delicate, glowed with a healthy rosy hue. A white, knee-length dress perfectly hugged her figure, outlining her slender waist. The off-the-shoulder design revealed her sexy collarbone without feeling overtly revealing.

She wore a pair of white high heels with no special decorations on the shoes, except for a silver-white crystal necklace adorning her ankles.

Coupled with the slightly bewildered expression on her face, she looked like an elf who had wandered into the human world, elegant and charming.

Qiu Pi's gaze deepened; he suddenly felt a little reluctant to bring her like this to the public.

The banquet was held at Rong Sheng International, and the two of them immediately became the center of attention as soon as they entered the banquet hall.

The man is tall, handsome, rich, and charming; the woman is pretty, elegant, and charming. The two of them standing together are like a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Rumors are circulating in the industry that the president of Hanyu Group has recently become infatuated with a mysterious woman and has launched a relentless pursuit of her in various ways, hoping to win her heart. He has even severed ties with his previous women and is spending lavishly to win her favor.

Everyone was very curious about what kind of woman she was that could capture this man's heart. After seeing her today, they were indeed amazed by her beauty.

The men at the banquet envied Qiu Pi's good fortune in meeting such a stunning woman. The women, on the other hand, looked at Geng Miaowan with envy, wondering what she had done to deserve stealing their ideal man.

This was Geng Miaowan's first time attending such a banquet. Everyone was dressed in splendid attire, and even the banquet hall was decorated in a magnificent and opulent manner. She followed Qiu Pi, step by step, into the banquet hall amidst various gazes.

Although it was called a dinner party, Geng Miaowan felt it was more like an exchange meeting.

As soon as Qiu Pi entered the banquet hall, he introduced her to several prominent business figures and gave her a brief introduction. Knowing his reputation in the city, Geng Miaowan had told him beforehand to introduce her by her real name, not Shen Meiling.

She didn't want to bring Shen Meiling, who lived far away in the city, here.

She told Feng Xiaotian and the others that it was to cover their tracks, so she used a different name instead of Shen Meiling. They believed her wholeheartedly, and she felt like she was about to have a mental breakdown.

Perhaps because he knew from the beginning that she was not the real Shen Meiling, Qiu Pi was not too surprised when she said her real name. He didn't even ask her why she was impersonating Shen Meiling.

A little while later, he accompanied her to the buffet area and carefully picked out a few of her favorite snacks for her.

At this moment, a young man came over, bowed to him, and said, "Mr. Qiu, my master invites you."

Qiu Pi glanced at Geng Miaowan, handed her the plate, and said softly, "Eat something here first, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he followed the young man away. It was clear from his attitude that the master the young man spoke of was no ordinary person.

Geng Miaowan watched his departing figure, wondering what he meant by insisting on bringing her to such a banquet. She hadn't seen He Chaobai along the way; could it be that Feng Xiaotian's information was wrong, and he wasn't coming today?

She looked around but couldn't see He Chaobai anywhere. Feeling a little disappointed, she took her plate and found a secluded spot to sit down and eat by herself.

"You're Geng Miaowan?" A clear, cold female voice rang out from above her head. (To be continued.)
