Chapter 977


    Ang took off his military greatcoat since it’d be inconvenient for her to wear it while going out.


    Looking at the rain outside the window, she felt inexplicably annoyed. If only it wasn’t raining


    The two came downstairs to the first floor entrance. Richard opened the umbre and stretched out his


    hand toward her, but she didn’t let him take her by the hand. Instead, she stepped under the umbre.


    The next instant, however, a muscr arm reached out and hooked around her waist imperiously..


    “Don’t do this…” Ang implored instantly.


    Richard turned to look at her, saying. “If you get wet, you’ll have no clothes to change into.”


    Ang felt helpless at once. Indeed, if she got wet in the rain, she’d have a rough time tonight. As


    such, she had no choice but to put up with the arm around her waist and follow him toward the street


    across from them.


    The restaurant was the only one in town that was still open for business at night. It was located deep in


    the mountains, where resources were limited and the people were hardworking and adorably


    unsophisticated.


    The instant she stepped into the restaurant, Ang pulled therge hand away from her waist. At this


    moment, there were several tables of customers eating at the restaurant. When a few men saw her,


    their jaws dropped in astonishment as if they’d seen a fairying down to earth.


    Under the incandescent light, Angbed her thick waist-length hair with her fingers, revealing a


    fair face with delicate and charming features. She looked confident and radiantly beautiful in her


    fashionable pearl-buttoned overcoat, which helped her make a stunning appearance like a movie star.


    All the men in the restaurant saw her at first nce, but they didn’t notice the tall figure closing the


    umbre behind her.. Their eyes were fixed on her, with some showing a hint of lewd amusement.


    Just then, the man behind Ang put away his umbre. Putting his arm naturally around her


    shoulders, he looked tall, imposing, and extraordinarily handsome.


    Richard noticed those eyes staring at Ang at a nce. In an instant, he darted his eyes warningly


    over each of the men who were leering at her without restraint.


    Subsequently, these men instantly sensed an overwhelmingly oppressive presence; the man standing


    behind the prettydy was giving off a dangerous aura that struck a chill into the hearts of all of them.


    As a result, they promptly lowered their heads and continued eating.


    Richard led Ang to an empty table, where she sat down while he proceeded to order food. Having


    always lived high on the hog since she was born, she had nevere to such a countryside restaurant


    before, so she felt especially ill at ease.


    On the other hand, some men couldn’t help but eye her up and down in secret.


    Inadvertently, Ang made eye contact with a bearded man. When she saw the man staring fixedly at


    her, she hurriedly avoided his gaze-she was unused to being stared at like this..


    Just then, Richard returned to his seat with two washed cups in his hands. He picked up the teapot and


    poured her a cup of tea.


    Taking the cup of tea from him, she took a sniff at it and was surprised at how refreshingly fragrant the


    tea was. Seems like there’s an abundance of produce in the mountains.

    Even the ordinary tea smells so intoxicatingly pleasant. She was freezing all over, so it made her feel


    really warm to have a drink of hot tea. She couldn’t help but hold the teacup in both hands and finish


    the tea in sips while it was still hot.


    The man across from her gazed at her intently as the fathomless eyes under his thick eyshes


    reflected how adorable she looked while drinking tea.
