I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 93: The Ruckus
When Mu Mingcheng refused the toast, the group no longer offered him wine. Instead, they praised him for taking care of his body, along with his country's health practices.
Gu Jin sneered at himself. What does this have to do with health? Instead, the man avoided potential trouble by rejecting the wine. He must have learned this through experience. When someone is abroad, it is not as easy to deal with an emergency as it is when at home.
It is said that men at work are the most attractive, but most men are unemployed. Gu Jin wasn't sure if it was because of his dream, but for some reason, it was, every time she glanced at Mu Mingcheng from this angle her well-spoken words and sharp aura made her even more beautiful and graceful. To him, he's like, a tantalizing carrot.
Oh my God, it's impossible!
Gu Jin leaned against the window, his eyes wandering with a fleeting view outside. From an outsider's point of view, his eyes seemed to be empty without feeling. It's hard to guess what he's thinking.
“Stop, let's get down from here.” The car stopped in front of the pedestrian path and Mu Mingcheng opened the door.
“What's the problem?” Gu Jin got out of the car with his wallet.
Because his plan to look around for a handsome stranger disappeared just like that, he felt regret for being around Mu Mingcheng all day. If not for the sake of not humiliating him in front of an outsider, he would have long since ignored his thoughts and gone to play by himself.
And Mu Mingcheng, who sabotaged his plan, dared to make another arrangement today?
“Do you not want to go shopping?” The man's handmade real leather shoes touched the ground.
He ordered his assistant, “You can come back first. I can take her around.”
Gu Jin looked at Mu Mingcheng in disbelief. 'He went shopping with me?'
“Because you accompanied me to my meeting, I will accompany you shopping,” the man explained as he looked at his doubtful expression. He raised an eyebrow and added, “Don't think too much about it, it's an equivalent exchange.”
“You don't have to do it,” Gu Jin pouted. She would be more comfortable if she went shopping alone and enjoyed tea for herself. If he went along with her, how could he get the chance to get in touch with a foreign man?
The other assistant got on the bus and left wisely. Only its driver, Lao Liu, was left sitting in Mu Mingcheng's exclusive car while waiting for the couple.
After visiting some shops, the disgruntled Gu Jin started to feel a little thirsty.
“Wait here, I'll buy you water.”
As he looked at the crowded vending machine, Mu Mingcheng insisted that Gu Jin stay in place while he lined up to get a water bottle for him.
The foreigners in this country were generally taller than the people from the Z country, but as Gu Jin stared at Mu Mingcheng's back, it was, the man was still very eye-catching and tall as he stood among this crowd.
“Halo Miss,” a stranger greets behind Gu Jin. He spoke to her using the country Z language, but with a different accent.
It's nice to meet people from the same Z country here in a foreign country.
“Halo,” replied Gu Jin with a gentle smile.
“Actually,” the man smiled shyly while explaining, “My wallet was stolen along with my phone. Can you lend me your phone so I can call my friend to ask him to come and pick me up?”
“Sure,” says Gu Jin. It was unlucky for this person to meet a thief in a foreign country. He doesn't mind lending his cell phone to his fellow citizens.
“Great,” the man smiled lightly and grabbed his phone.
However, upon seeing the calluses on his wide palm, Gu Jin's eyes flashed.
“Aki apologize,” Gu Jin suddenly pulled his hand and said regretfully, “My phone has no battery so it sometimes dies without warning.”
Gu Jin picked up his phone to show the man a black screen. “My girlfriend is there,” she said as she pointed at the crowd towards the vending machine. “You wait here, I'll have him come to help you.”
The man's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered his expression: “Thank you then.”
“Sama-sama,” Gu Jin replied with a smile and a light nod. He kept walking towards the vending machine.
Before he could reach his side, Mu Mingcheng's instincts made him look towards him. He looked a little shaky and his smile was very stiff. Looking closely, he realized that his hands were shaking while holding the phone in his chest. Her lips moved as she said a few words to him.
Mu Mingcheng secretly smiled and waved at him. As soon as he reached his side, he grabbed his arm before quickly rushing to the door.
At the same time, the sound of gunfire echoed through the streets. The crowd was in a frenzy with screams and wails.
“Who is it?” Gu Jin asked solemnly.
“Not sure,” Mu Mingcheng took out a small revolver out of nowhere.
Gu Jin wiped his lips and refrained from speaking. He could not risk distracting her during this critical moment.
In silence, Gu Jin suddenly heard a 'bomb' before he was thrown to the ground, confused.
The police siren was getting closer, but he did not notice it, as if all the surrounding voices were sinking at this moment. He could only feel the moist chest of a man in his hands.
