Chapter 95: Cocoon Oneself



Chapter 95: Cocoon Oneself

"Hurry up and tell me if you need anything." Alan stepped aside, or Adele would be all over him.

Adele rolled her eyes and said, "Do you want to fart next?"

Alan looked at her and said, "You don't seem to know what a lady is."

"Nonsense, have you seen my lady?"

Allen remembered that when she had hunted the Black Widow that day, Adele had knocked over a member of the other party with a single shot, and that she had an extremely domineering posture, that was, she had nothing to do with a lady. Then she smiled, and Adele smiled, her eyes curved into teeth, and she lived like a little fox.

"Actually, I want to ask you a favor."

"As long as you don't want me to help you pick up girls, anything can be said." Alan pointed.

Qiqi's face immediately flushed as she looked at Adele. The latter complained, "Don't make me look like a man and woman. Miss, I also have principles."

"Listen for now." Alan shrugged.

'"I have to go to a party tomorrow night," snorted Adele, "and I can't get away with it. So I have to find a man to keep me company, and after thinking about it, you're the only one."

"Can we not go?" Alan frowned. If that was the case, he would have to take another night off with Hugh. There was not much time left for him now, and he preferred to stay in Hughton's house and listen to the old drunkard talk about the Magic Cube sequence to dinner.

Alan discovered that the Magic Cube sequence was becoming more and more attractive to him. If one were to learn this knowledge at the beginning, one would have the idea of increasing the scores of their clan's examinations. Now, then, he really liked the combination of science and art. He enjoyed the exploration process, and every time he solved a technical problem, it gave Allen an unparalleled sense of accomplishment and novelty.

Time is limited, and the ocean of knowledge is almost infinite. He had already wasted one night, and wasting another was simply heartbreaking. Moreover, social activities weren't that important to him right now. At least, they weren't important enough to be placed on the demand for knowledge.

"I don't care. In any case, I only have you as my candidate." '"Someone said so generously," Adele said in a shameless manner, "if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me about it. We're friends or something. And I've just done her a great favor, and now she doesn't even have the intention to return the favor. Do you think there are any real friends in this world?"

"Alright, alright." Said Alan with a headache. He could not bear Adele's pitiful attack and could only accept it.

'"Tomorrow night, at eight o'clock, I'll go to the academy and look for you." Adele immediately jumped up as if she was a different person.

Without giving Alan a chance to go back on his word, he disappeared from the corridor outside the card seat in the blink of an eye, leaving behind Alan, who shook his head repeatedly, and a group of glaring youths.

The next day, when Alan saw a dress personally delivered by Adele, he knew that the banquet was not simple at night. The dress was almost tailor-made for him. Although the style was very popular, the value of the dress lay in its workmanship and exquisite materials. Alan put on his gown and looked at himself in the mirror. The waistline made him straighten his back. He seemed to be two points taller and more energetic.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the flying car with the Mawson family emblem stopped at the academy's parking lot on time. Alan drilled into the car and saw Adele dressed up. Allen was one of them. He was used to seeing Adele dressed as a man, and now that she was back in her womanhood, he was not used to it. '"Don't say anything," said Adele, pulling him up. "I don't want to have dinner tonight. It's just that Grandpa won't let me decline, so I have to dress up like this."

Ellen spread out his hands and said, "You look good dressed like this. It looks good."

"Really?" Adele smiled brightly.

Alan nodded forcefully.

Adele thought of something and turned her face slightly to say, "What's the use of looking good? I'm not going to make a vase to decorate the scenery!" "I'm not going to make a vase to decorate the scenery!"

Hearing her stubborn words, Alan seemed to understand why this girl always dressed in men's clothing.

The car finally stopped at the entrance of a hotel in Babylon.

The Venus Hotel has always been the preferred venue for social dinners for high-ranking officials and nobles in Babylon. The hotel is magnificent and magnificent. Just the four white stone pillars allowed one to see its noble bearing. Not to mention the palace-like hall, the numerous wall lights and crystal lights shone with an incomparably brilliant light, as if they were going to dazzle people's eyes.

Without a doubt, this was a drunken place. Alan looked around and saw that the people in the lobby were all elegant and graceful. She followed Adele into the elevator and went straight to the third floor. The elevator door opened, and someone was already leading them to the banquet hall. As the door of the hall opened, Adele suddenly whispered, "Take my hand."

Alan didn't know what she was up to, but he still gave her enough face and gently pulled her catkin. Adele held his hand, and, as soon as the door opened, put on a bright smile, and dragged him into the hall with large strides.

The banquet hall was over a thousand square meters tall and about twenty meters tall. Even if there were hundreds of people in this large space, it wouldn't necessarily be crowded. On the main stage of the hall, a singer was performing, and the bands on both sides were playing hard, decorating a peaceful scene. There were long tables on both sides of the hall, filled with dazzling food and snacks.

The cleanly dressed waiters shuttled through the crowd, adding wine or delicacies to the guests.

When Adele took Alan's hand and walked into the hall, a dozen hot gazes immediately fell on her and shifted to Alan's face. As a result, the meaning of that gaze changed. Alan swept his eyes and found that the owners of those gazes were all young boys.

"Adele!" A cheerful voice rang out in the crowd. People naturally separated from each other and made way for a handsome young man.

A pale golden hair was neatly combed behind his head, and the young man with a deep outline had a warm smile on his face. Dressed in a white suit, he strode over with open arms and said, "Long time no see, you've become more beautiful than before."

Adele whispered, "This fellow is the host of tonight's party, Leon William. A troublesome fellow, very troublesome!"

Alan looked at her in astonishment. It was the first time he had heard that Adele would find others troublesome. She had always played this role in the eyes of others. Moreover, William's surname was not simple. Alan remembered that in his social studies class, his mentor had once popularized information about the current rich and influential families. Among the three great families, the William Family was one of them.

If the young man in front of her was from the William family, Adele would not be able to get rid of him. After all, it was an invitation from a wealthy family, and its weight was not comparable to a noble family. Adele had already gone up to welcome him, but she still had time to hug Leon gently by making a ghost face with her tongue sticking out at Alan in the blink of an eye.

'I am glad, Adele, that you did not reject my invitation, as God is my witness, and how worried I was that you would ignore it when I handed it to Mr. Kate.' Leon let go of Adele and said humorously without losing his manners.

Unfortunately, Adele did not buy it at all. She shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "Trust me, I really don't want to go to the meeting, if the old man didn't insist."

Even though Adele was so shameless, Leon still smiled like a spring breeze, "Adele, you're still so humorous."

Alan couldn't help but admire Leon's bearing when he saw this. Adele retreated to Ellen's side and said in a voice that only Ellen could hear, "See, this fellow's skin is so thick!"

"Adele, I haven't introduced you yet. Who is this?" Leon looked at Ellen and nodded in greeting. Even though he saw Adele intentionally holding Ellen's hand, the young man who was clearly interested in Miss Morson was not angry at all.

Adele raised her eyebrows and said, "This is Ellen, a son of the Bescot family, and my lover."

Alan had a polite smile on his face, but it almost froze when he heard Adele introduce him. Fortunately, he held back his questioning gaze and extended his hand to Leon, saying, "Hello, Mr. Leon."

Leon chuckled politely and clasped his hands in the air.

'I must ask Mr. Allen about his social skills later, and to tell you the truth, I have been interested in Adele for a long time, but I have not even held her little hand, and I envy Mr. Allen for being the first to do so.' Leon smiled faintly and said softly, "Help yourselves. I have to go greet other friends. I'll come and chat with you later."

With that, she politely kissed Adele on the back of her hand and left.

As soon as he left, Adele's smile froze, and she immediately took out her handkerchief from her bag and wiped it hard, saying with a disgusted expression, "Damned fellow, he actually dares to kiss me!"

"That's right. You're always the only one who kisses someone else." Alan said.

'"Why didn't you tell me it was the Williams' Young Master's banquet today? And, you didn't tell me that I had to be your lover!"

"Don't be so fierce." Adele immediately put on a pitiful look, "I have no choice."

"Then you'd better tell me what else he plans to do next!"

"Not anymore, not anymore. He knows that I have a lover now, so he must have retreated in the face of difficulties." Adele hurriedly waved her hand.

Alan nodded, and Adele was relieved. Unexpectedly, Allen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her slender waist and pulled her to his side. Adele cried out softly, looking at Alan. "Since we're lovers," the latter said maliciously, "we need to be intimate. Don't you think so, baby?"

Adele was instantly enraged, and gritted her teeth, "Is this self-restraint?"
