When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 67.2

When Ji Bai entered the lounge, he saw this gang of rascals raptly looking at Yao Meng outside the glass walls, engaged in a heated discussion.

On seeing Ji Bai, someone immediately asked: "Third Ji Young Master, who is she? Your sister-in-law?"

The truth wasn't that they were unaccustomed to beauty. Every eye present had been 'poisoned' (by too much beauty), which beautiful woman had ever escaped their notice? However, it was precisely because of this that Yao Meng's beauty was unique in their eyes: her heroic spirit shone through her bright beauty, yet there was a trace of devastation in her gentleness, which gave her a mysterious aura. Men were most tempted/fearful of mysterious women, the more inscrutable the mystery, the less they were able to resist its allure. Added to this was the setting of the situation, Yao Meng's sudden appearance had been a nice surprise, and everyone had felt the disturbing impact.

Ji Bai glanced at Yao Meng. Since the conclusion of Lin Qingyan's case six months ago, she had kept a very low profile. Thus he replied: "She is Xu Xu's friend, don't disturb her."

Everyone burst into hearty laughter, and someone said: "Too late! Monkey's already gone!"

Ji Bai frowned. Scanning the surroundings, he was unable to locate Monkey. (sentence not translated, see note) He definitely could not let him disturb Yao Meng. However, at this time, the guests were arriving in a steady stream, and Ji Bai had to be on hand to greet them. He thus waved his hand: "I'm not joking – someone go and stop him for me!"

Whatever task he assigned this little group, he was sure to have results. Immediately, several people stood up. Shuhang, who had been quietly sipping his tea, also got up: "I'll go."

Shuhang was reliable, so Ji Bai relaxed, nodded, and walked outside with him. They parted at the corridor, going in two different directions. Shuhang took two steps forward, then turned to ask: "How should I address the lady?"

Ji Bai was busy greeting several colleagues from the police station, and glanced sideways at him to reply: "Yao Meng."

Shuhang was familiar with Monkey's temperament. Monkey quickly moved towards Yao Meng. A few metres away from her, he found a waiter and took two glasses of wine in his hands.

"Ji Bai is looking for you, something urgent, go quickly." Shuhang told him sternly.

Monkey looked dubious. He gave the wine glasses back to the waiter and followed him back. At the door of the lounge, Shuhang stopped while Monkey went straight ahead.

"I've caught him. You're not allowed to go outside," said Shuhang. The men inside laughed as Monkey returned to the table as Shuhang turned to go back outside. Someone asked, "Brother Shu, where are you going?"

Shuhang answered: "Ji Bai asked me to help."

He walked briskly, returning to the pool and asked for two glasses of wine from the waiter. He took the two wine glasses to Yao Meng. Everyone in the lounge was stunned. After a while, they saw Yao Meng politely turn him down as she smiled and turned away. Shuhang strode faster, trying to keep up with her. A raffish smile hung in his face, "Hey, hey , don't go ..."

This baby's Full Moon celebration went without a hitch. Whether it was their police colleagues, Ji Bai's close childhood friends, or Xu Xu's haughty classmate from the Police Academy, everyone was in high spirits. The fair, fat and pink baby only made a brief appearance, but brought an unconscious smile to everyone's face and everybody cheered.

Ji Bai's father and brothers had come as well and Ji Bai had arranged for them to sit in a separate room. Although Mrs Ji had not come, she had Ji Bai's father bring a red envelope over, and also gave Xu Xu a set of jewelry.
