"What long legs! Ah, no, what a long chest, ah, that's not right either..." Zhang Menglong was absolutely convinced he was a gentleman; it wasn't that he insisted on looking, but that he genuinely had no way to avoid seeing. "Mr. Zhang, let me serve you tonight." Lee Ji-eun still didn't look up; mustering all her courage to come to Zhang Menglong's room alone that evening was almost too much for her. "Are the people of Qingqiu Country always so bold?" Zhang Menglong gradually calmed down, figuring he could guess what was on Lee Ji-eun's mind. If she became his woman, vile elements in the entertainment industry or political willpower would no longer be able to impose themselves upon Lee Ji-eun. Anyone who harbored ill intentions towards her would have to consider whether they could afford to provoke Zhang Menglong. Zhang Menglong's woman, even if he only slept with her once, would always enjoy his protection! Just like the Emperor's woman, even if she fell out of favor, she was not someone any official dared to molest. But Lee Ji-eun had motives beyond just that, because Su Zhihe had always been keeping contact with her!Nôv(el)B\\jnn A day went by, and Zhang Menglong didn't give them the time of day. That day, Qingqiu Country's cash reserves had dwindled by several hundred trillion. Although they had robust financial support, and the urgency was lessened, the affairs of the neighboring country reminded them that as long as Zhang Menglong was in Qingqiu Country, they could at any time face the same situation. Therefore, they had to soothe Zhang Menglong's mood and get him to leave Qingqiu Country peacefully. Only then would they be safe. However, it was clear that Zhang Menglong was unwilling to negotiate or leave, which meant his anger had not subsided. Lee Ji-eun had just been repeatedly urged to make Zhang Menglong agree to negotiations by any means necessary, or else, even if she sacrificed herself for her country, her family would still not end well. It was because of this reason that Lee Ji-eun had such bold thoughts that night. "If you merely seek my protection, that is easy!" Zhang Menglong suddenly spoke to the air, "Ye Yin, come out, don't scare anyone!" "Mr. Zhang, what do you need?" Ye Yin's figure suddenly appeared from outside the door, standing behind Lee Ji-eun. Lee Ji-eun clearly had not expected someone to appear so suddenly behind her, and she shuddered in fright, but then immediately realized she was wearing nothing but her undergarments and quickly hugged her chest with both arms. "Don't be afraid; this is my personal bodyguard," Zhang Menglong said as he picked up a robe from the floor and draped it over Lee Ji-eun, "Are they using your family to threaten you?" Lee Ji-eun trembled and then nodded, but actually, there were also some selfish thoughts she had not voiced. "Ye Yin, are there others like you in Qingqiu Country?" "Mr. Zhang, actually..." Lee Ji-eun was about to express her feelings when her phone in her robe pocket rang. "Mr. Zhang... it's... it's Representative Su..." "Answer it, turn on the speaker!" Zhang Menglong instructed. "Lee Ji... Miss Lee, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm not human, I shouldn't have threatened you using your family, I was wrong, I dare not do it again!" "This..." Lee Ji-eun could tell that this was indeed Su Zhihe's voice, but she had never seen such a humble Su Zhihe before, as his usual tone when speaking to her was always so arrogant. "Representative Su, is everything all right?" "No, no, no, Miss Lee, please don't use formal language with me, I'm begging you, please forgive me, for if Mr. Zhang's people don't kill me, our Prime Minister will!" "Is it that serious?" Lee Ji-eun looked at Zhang Menglong with a puzzled gaze. What exactly had Zhang Menglong's people done to Su Zhihe in the five minutes since issuing that order? "Let me handle it!" Zhang Menglong took the phone from Lee Ji-eun's hand. Explore more at empire "Su Zhihe, it's me." "Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang, please spare me! I won't dare to use such methods to threaten Miss Lee again, please calm down." "You threatened her, not me. Why should I be angry? Of course, I had no reason to be angry," Zhang Menglong's tone took on a sardonic edge, "however, since Ji-eun's family is under threat, and my girlfriend is her fan, my girlfriend is very angry, so now, I am very angry!" "I understand!" Su Zhihe was quick on the uptake, "I will definitely visit Miss Lee tomorrow, and I will do my best to earn her forgiveness." "That's your business," Zhang Menglong said in a nonchalant tone, "By the way, remember, we Huaxia people have a tradition: you can't visit to apologize empty-handed. I'm sure you understand what I mean." "Understood! Understood! I will definitely satisfy Miss Lee and Mr. Zhang!"
