Chapter 139 Uninvited Guest
Just then, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
A woman in a bright red dress walked gracefully towards them; it turned out to be Su Minmin, a star from Myanmar.
The red dress clung tightly to her curvaceous figure, swaying gracefully with every step, exuding a mature and alluring charm.
She approached Zhao Dakuang, and as her beautiful eyes swept over Su Yingxue, she was taken aback for a moment, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
After giving him a few cold glances, he walked straight toward Zhao Da Kuang.
She naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, hugged him affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Big Crazy, it's been a long time."
Immediately afterwards, she whispered in Zhao Dakang's ear: "I heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister of Myanmar will be coming. She is always arrogant and rude at banquets. You'd better be careful when dealing with her."
After speaking, he caught a glimpse of the shoe print on Zhao Da Kuang's face out of the corner of his eye.
He raised an eyebrow and boldly asked, "Hey, what happened to your face?"
Zhao Da Kuang looked calm, a doting smile playing on his lips: "My daughter stepped on it."
That smile was like the warm spring sun, and Su Minmin was momentarily mesmerized by it.
Zhao Da Kuang's nonchalant answer instantly drew everyone's attention.
The crowd gathered around, whispering and speculating: "When did Zhao Da Kuang get married and have children? He kept it a secret for a long time!"
In an instant, countless eyes turned to Su Yingxue and Xiao Qi, some with envy and some with curiosity.
Su Yingxue was displeased and clenched her fists secretly.
Xiao Qi pouted, her face full of grievance.
But the situation forced the mother and daughter to suppress their emotions and cooperate with Zhao Da Kuang's sudden "performance".
Inside the banquet hall, elegantly dressed women mingled amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone reveled in the decadent atmosphere of extravagance.
Suddenly, a small commotion arose at the entrance, and the guests all turned to look.
A tall and imposing figure slowly stepped in.
The man was dressed in a tailored suit, which accentuated his sleek and athletic physique.
But he wore a bizarre clown mask that covered most of his face.
Only his deep eyes, like cold stars, were so profound that they inspired awe.
In an instant, gasps of surprise rose and fell from the crowd, like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating ripples.
"My God, could this be the legendary 'Moonlit Emperor'? I've heard that he's a legendary figure in the Dragon Kingdom who can stir up storms with a stomp of his foot, and he's actually showing up here today!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Most of the guests from Myanmar had only heard of his illustrious reputation, but had never had the chance to see him in person.
At this moment, everyone was filled with astonishment and whispered among themselves.
Zhao Da Kuang's originally indifferent gaze was instantly drawn over, and he looked at the uninvited guest with great interest.
Su Yingxue seemed to be frozen in place, her hands trembling slightly involuntarily.
How could she not recognize that figure and demeanor? It was clearly Tan Zhengchu!
Given the current situation, she dared not utter a sound.
My heart was pounding in my chest, and joy surged through me like a tidal wave.
But he was quickly overwhelmed by endless worries, fearing that Zhao Da Kuang would notice something amiss.
Xiao Qi blinked her big, watery eyes, tilted her head, and stared at the masked man for a long time.
Then, she tugged at Su Yingxue's hand and mumbled in a childish voice, "Mommy, this person looks so familiar, he looks like Daddy (Tan Zhengchu)."
Su Yingxue's expression changed drastically, turning several shades paler.
She quickly crouched down, covered Xiaoqi's ears with her hands, and said urgently in a low voice, "Baby, don't talk nonsense. He just looks a bit like your father. Remember, don't bring this up again. Let's keep quiet for now."
After saying that, she straightened up and secretly clenched the hem of her clothes.
He decided to wait for the right opportunity to secretly meet with Tan Zhengchu later to find out the situation. For now, he could only endure it.
Tan Zhengchu, in his guise as the Moonlit Emperor, seemed oblivious to the surrounding commotion, his steps steady as he walked straight toward Su Yingxue.
Along the way, the guests subconsciously made way for him, their eyes filled with awe.
He stood in front of Su Yingxue, his eyes fixed on her.
His gaze was intense and affectionate, as if he wanted to see right through her.
Su Yingxue also looked back, and when their eyes met, she felt her heart pounding like thunder, almost bursting out of her chest.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and all she could think about was to throw herself into his arms and enjoy that long-lost warmth and sense of security.
But reason was like a bucket of cold water, poured over his head.
This is Zhao Da Kuang's territory. Tan Zhengchu's appearance wearing a mask this time must be to prevent Zhao Da Kuang from recognizing him.
If she acts impulsively, all her previous efforts may be in vain, so she has no choice but to endure it.
Zhao Da Kuang sensed that the atmosphere was unusual.
A meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his long arm to put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder.
He pulled her closer to him in a seemingly affectionate but actually domineering manner, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yingxue, look at you. You are so beautiful. Which man wouldn't have some thoughts about you? Even the mysterious and unpredictable Emperor Yueye is probably tempted."
Su Yingxue stiffened, filled with disgust, and tried to push him away forcefully.
But Zhao Da Kuang increased the force in his hand, and the object remained unmoved.
He leaned close to Su Yingxue's ear, lowered his voice, and said in a threatening tone, "If you don't listen to me, you can forget about ever seeing your daughter again. I have plenty of ways to separate you and your daughter."
Su Yingxue trembled, but for Xiao Qi's safety, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
She had no choice but to lean back as far as possible, deliberately avoiding physical contact with him.
Zhao Da Kuang turned his head, gave his subordinates a wink, and coldly ordered: "Take Xiao Qi to the children's play area and protect her well. If anything goes wrong, none of you will get away with it."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's eyes widened, and she glared angrily at Zhao Dakang, protesting loudly, "No, I want to be with Xiaoqi!"
Zhao Da Kuang seemed not to hear him, his expression cold, and he refused ruthlessly: "There's no room for discussion. You have to stay with me tonight. Who knows when I'll need your cooperation? You have to do everything I say."
Tan Zhengchu stopped a short distance away, and someone next to him struck up a conversation with him, all smiles on their face.
He seemed not to hear, casually swirling his wine glass in his hand.
His gaze remained fixed on the hand that Zhao Da Kuang was holding Su Yingxue with.
Su Yingxue felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in Zhao Dakuang's arms.
She looked impatient and tried to move to the side, attempting to break free from this domineering embrace.
Zhao Da Kuang seemed oblivious, his arms like iron clamps, firmly locking her in place.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere around them became eerie due to the silent tension.
Tan Zhengchu was dressed in a sharp suit, and the clown mask on his face was cold and mysterious, concealing all his emotions.
When he saw Zhao Da Kuang preparing to get close to Su Yingxue.
A storm seemed to rage in his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade as he swept straight over Zhao Da Kuang.
At this moment, Tan Zhengchu was filled with uncontrollable anger and murderous intent, as if he were about to erupt at any moment and tear Zhao Dakuang in front of him to pieces.
