Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 632 Delicate Beauties

Chapter 632 Delicate Beauties

Cloe was lost in thought once she noticed the so-called 'Tom, Dick, and Harry.' She didn't know what to say. Her lips could only twitch.

In the far corner of the hall, Cloe found Ruan Meilin hanging on the arm of a man who seemed to be from the city's police station. Then she looked at the Mayor's daughter with whom Raelle already had an agenda. Not only that, but the dear Mayor also received Raelle's gift sent with love.

Finally, Cloe zeroed in on the woman who just entered the hall. It was none other than Tang Hebe. She was someone Cloe wasn't really familiar with at all.

"What do you have to say now?" questioned Raelle. In fact, she was also wondering why all these people were gathered around her. She also heard what kind of a banquet it was and what kind of people were invited there. That's why she didn't think these three women had the status to enter this party on their own.

She wasn't looking down at them, it was merely a fact.

Ruan Meilin's status in society came from her association with the huge Shui Conglomerate where she worked. But even then, even Shui Xian wasn't invited to this banquet. Why was she here?

As for the Mayor's daughter, she had nothing to add. She wouldn't have even paid attention to someone like her if not for showing Cloe how wrong she was to say that not just anyone can enter this party?

On the other hand, it was actually Tang Hebe whose presence got Raelle's attention. For no other reason, but the fact that she had entered the party with Song Xin'ai. Oh, wasn't that her mother? Why was she coming with Tang Hebe? How were these two related exactly?

"Chief, I understand Tom and Dick's reference but who is this Harry you pointed at?"

"Oh, you don't even know anything about your boyfriend's first love?" asked Raelle.

Cloe's face hardened, "She is Tang Hebe?"

"Yes, she is," answered Raelle. "It seems your boyfriend did mention her."

"Not really," said Cloe. "But he said a thing or two." And with that statement, she couldn't help scrutinizing Tang Hebe from across the hall. Nothing could be done about this. She wanted to see what her boyfriend's first love looked like. Well, she had to say the woman looked pretty, elegant, and quite delicate. The kind of beauty that would evoke one's protective senses. "Why are such girls always so popular?"

"Jealous?"

Cloe didn't realize that she asked that question out loud until Raelle asked her if she was jealous. Realizing her mistake, she smiled at Raelle, "How is that possible? Why would I be jealous of her? She looks like she might fall with just a gust of wind. What's there to be jealous about? I don't like delicate beauties." She took a pause and a light urge to gossip took route in her heart, "Chief, why do you think that Ruan Meilin is here? And how did she come here?"

"Don't know. Don't care."

Cloe looked at Raelle's devil-may-care appearance and didn't know what to say about it. In fact, she had a lot to say but when it all came to the tip of her tongue, it turned into gibberish.

"But why do you look like you don't like her?" asked Raelle.

"Because I don't," answered Cloe. "I don't have to be a genius to know what she said to you the other day at Shui Xian's office. So, I asked Ma Jin for details. And he told me everything. She is such a scheming white lotus. I hate it! How dare she tried to incite you? Who is she to come and talk like that to you?"

Raelle was looking at Cloe blankly but Cloe felt like there was something behind that gaze. Was it amusement? How is that possible though?

"Are you okay?" asked Raelle. "When did you become so protective of me?"

Cloe sighed, "I have always been protective of you. I can curse you all I want in my head but I can't take it when someone else does it. At the end of the day, I know what you are. And knowing you, I hate it that you don't even feel offended when someone does such scheming against you. You might not be infuriated but I am!"

Raelle suddenly raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "Calm down tiger! We don't want a bloodbath here."

Cloe exhaled a long and deep breath as she nodded, "You're right. I won't mess with the likes of her as long as she doesn't come to bark at my face."

"I wonder who was the one advising me to rein in my temper earlier," commented Raelle lightly.

Cloe felt her face burning for the second time in the past ten minutes. The first time it was when she told Raelle confidently that not just anyone could enter the party and then Raelle picked out 'just anyone' from the crowd for her. And now again, Raelle reminded her that she was making a fool of herself by losing her temper.

Urgh! Why did she have a boss like that who had to prove herself right at every single turn?!

Raelle took two glasses from the tray of the waiter passing by and offered one to Cloe, "Have a drink and cool down. We aren't here to fight."

"You're right," agreed Cloe and silently took a sip of the flute she held in her hand. However, her eyes were still on Ruan Meilin before they settled on Tang Hebe. She looked at the two back and forth and frowned to herself. "Chief..." She called out but received no answer.

She turned around only to see Raelle busy in a conversation with some old people. Ah! Fantastic! It seemed her boss found her company. She shook her head at that. But it was right, she was already familiar with how much the old people liked Raelle. Her fake smile was really appealing to those old people for some reason.
