Chapter 350 Aoki Ichiro’s Acquaintances
After they had taken a stroll in the mall, Xiao Bing found himself being followed. But he still kept his composure, as if he was not aware of it. Xiao Bing believed that there was no one in R Country who could recognize him. His only worry was if the stalkers knew that he was posing as this Aoki Ichiro. If he confronted them in front of the princess, his true identity might be revealed. Since they did not make any attempt to show themselves, Xiao Bing decided to pretend that he did not know, and if he was still being stalked when he parted with the princess, he would ask them for their purpose.
Xiao Bing was not in the mood to flirt with the princess since he was worried about this. They were about to leave after Xiao Bing helped the girl choose two dresses. But suddenly he found himself being stared at by two girls. The older girl pointed at him and said in surprise, “Aoki-kun?”
Xiao Bing was startled. “Damn, speak of the devil and he will appear. Is this some kind of joke from god?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “What a coincidence!”
Princess Nami glanced at Xiao Bing and then at the two girls, especially the girl who was about 25, her eyes fully alert.
Though these two girls were not as beautiful as the princess, they were both charming and attractive.
The older one was wearing a pinkish kimono, a pair of clogs, and her hair was braided. Her features were beautiful and she had a demure quality about her.
The younger one was clad in a blue skirt and a pair of black leather shoes. The plaits hanging on her back made her seem very perky.
“Aoki-Kun, what happened? What’s your relationship with this woman? “asked the seemingly younger 19-year-old girl.
“Well…” Xiao Bing did not know what was the relationship between these two women and this fake identity of his. So he had to frame a vague reply, “She’s my employer… I’m her bodyguard now.”
The beauty clad in a kimono nodded at the princess and cast a sad glance at Xiao Bing. “Aoki-Kun, can you come to my place after you finish your work. I have so much to talk to you… I’ll call you later.”
Xiao Bing could not refuse her, after all he did not know what was Aoki Ichiro’s relationship with her. But he could tell that the two were acquaintances. But he was about to go to the Kokyo. If anything happened during such a crucial time, all his efforts would go to waste.
Xiao Bing had to say yes, and then he pretended to be embarrassed, “I lost my phone. Can you give me your number?”
The younger girl said angrily, “What? My sister has been missing you and you forgot her number? Indeed you’re are a heartbreaker.”
“Haroko, please mind your tongue.” The beauty in the kimono scolded Haroko and looked at Xiao Bing sadly. Then she took out a notebook from her purse and wrote her number on a piece of paper. She tore out the page and gave it to Xiao Bing. “Remember to call me.”
“I will.” Xiao Bing put away the paper and watched the two walking past him. He heard the younger girl talking, as she was passing him, “He is beyond any doubt an ingrate. Sis, why are you always so kind. If I were you, I would have spat in that woman’s face.”
The girl’s words sent cold fingers down his spine. He was told that all women in R Country were kind and virtuous, but Princess Nami and this girl proved to be exceptions. But the girl in the kimono seemed very elegant. But he still did not know who this Aoki Ichiro was. He wondered what this woman would do to him.
The hostility was plain in the princess’s eyes. After the two girls had gone a distance, Princess Nami spoke with some dissatisfaction, “Who are they? Your girlfriend and your ex-girlfriend?”
“Damn, how am I supposed to know?”
Xiao Bing was once told that sometimes silence works better than words, so he did not answer the question at all. “It’s none of your business, ” Xiao Bing said coldly.
Princess Nami felt like exploding, but she restrained her anger. This time she felt something different. She just pouted, “Okay.”
After they were done shopping, Xiao Bing planned to take the princess home. But she said that she wanted to have her dinner outside the mansion. Though he knew that this princess would do as he asked, he had to show some respect for her identity.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Western food.”
Curious, Xiao Bing asked, “You like western food.”
Princess Nami said shyly, “It’s said that western restaurants have a romantic vibe, don’t they?”
Xiao Bing had intended to ask the princess if the people in R Country loved Western food. But he did not voice his question, otherwise he would have aroused the princess’s suspicion. He was just surprised and confused by those two acquaintances, who were strangers to him.
Though R Country was small when compared with Cathaysian State, its population was over 100 million, which made it quite a big nation in this world. After all, there were over 6 billion people living in hundreds of countries.
Yet he met his acquaintances so easily on this big land. Wasn’t this too coincidental? Xiao Bing’s mind was a little restless since the incident. But he had encountered much more bizarre things than this, so he did not think too much of the incident.
The two seated themselves in a western restaurant in the mall. After the food and wine were served, Xiao Bing looked at the princess and smiled, “I suppose none of your servants had the honor to dine with your highness, before?”
Princess Nami looked at Xiao Bing and in a coquettish manner, said, “You promised that you will call me by my name, when there’s no one around? You’re no servant in my eyes.”
Xiao Bing gasped for a moment. Though he had felt that Princess Nami’s attitude toward him had changed, she had never been this straightforward. He could tell from the burning lust in her eyes. “Did she fall in love with me? But for what? Because I spanked her?”
“Damn. She can’t this masochistic.”
Xiao Bing cleared his throat and asked, “Then who am I, if I am not your servant?”
“I can’t believe you need to ask.” Princess Nami raised her glass and clinked it with Xiao Bing. She took a sip and looked at Xiao Bing with lustful eyes, “Aoki-kun, be my boyfriend.”
She was so straightforward!
Xiao Bing rubbed his nose and shook his head. “Don’t you think it’s too soon. Maybe I’m just a womanizer. What if I’m merely interested in your body and money?”
Princess Nami looked at Xiao Bing sternly and said, “I’m not afraid of that.. I just want to be with the one I love, even if it will not end well.” “And I believe that you will not cheat on me, because there’s no other woman in this country who can be more beautiful than me. Kojima Moeko? She might be my only threat. But how can she possibly be compared with me? I’m a princess and she’s just a geisha.”
Xiao Bing frowned, “In my opinion, she’s just the same as you.”
Princess Nami had not expected that Xiao Bing would compare her to a geisha. Before she got angry, she suddenly recalled how Xiao Bing hated hierarchy. Then she understood why Xiao Bing got so angry. She explained immediately, “Sorry, I know now. I will never look down upon others. But she’s still not as beautiful as me. I don’t believe you will like her.”
“That is not certain.”
Princess Nami did not take Xiao Bing’s words seriously. She did not know that Xiao Bing had met Kojima Moeko before. She skipped this topic and said, “Aoki-kun, I won’t mind if you fall in love with other women. I won’t stand between you and your lovers, like other shallow girls. A powerful man like you ought to have more choices. If you like those two girls, you can bring them to my mansion. But only I can be your wife. What do you say?”
Xiao Bing gasped. It was said that the men in R country were superior to their women. But Xiao Bing thought the princess was an exception. He had not expected these words to come from her mouth. It was tempting enough for all men on earth.
She was the noble princess of this country, and both of her grandpas held great power in this land.
Besides, she had been named the most beautiful woman in this country.
Any of the above terms would have been irresistible for 80 percent of the men on earth. Few men could resist such an offer.
Besides, this woman even allowed her man to have mistresses.
Xiao Bing thought few women in Cathaysian State and the R country, where most women still believed that men were better than women, would say such things. Men would go crazy for this beauty.
“Damn!”
