Chapter 838


    Christopher Lancelot leanednguidly against the sofa with his legs crossed. He smiled faintly as he


    gazed at X Quest. “You shouldn’t take such a long drag since this is your first time smoking. Try


    inhaling a bit at a time, and slowly ‘send’ it to the lungs.”


    X followed his instructions and gave it another try.


    It did not feel so irritating this time, but she was still coughing non-stop.


    In the end, she chose to give up.


    She pulled the cigarette away from her mouth, intending to put it out.


    However, Christopher took the cigarette from her and ced it between his lips, puffing at it even


    though X had touched it before. “Don’t waste it.”


    “Hey, it’s dirty.”


    “It’s okay, I don’t mind your saliva.”


    “…”


    X could sense the ambiguity in his actions and words.


    X immediately turned to Christopher with a straight face. “You know that you’re just…”


    “A friend to you.”


    “I don’t mind you because you’re my friend too. What are you thinking? Hmm?”


    As Christopher spoke, he flicked X’s forehead with his index finger.


    A slight pain spread over her skin.


    X subconsciously massaged her forehead.


    “Do you feel better now?” Christopher quickly changed the subject.


    X shook her head.


    “Shall we go for a walk?” Christopher asked.


    “Nah, I don’t feel like it,” X refused.


    “Hey, don’t turn me down. I’ve helped you many times. I’m not asking too much, am I?”


    “…”


    X did not know what to say anymore.


    Christopher rose to his feet and extended his hand toward her. “Come with me.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Instead of holding his hand, X gave him an apathetic look and got up on her own, walking out the


    room before him.


    Christopher smirked contentedly and followed her out at once.


    There were countless men in ck guarding the door.


    As far as the eye could see, the whole aisle seemed to have been painted in ck.


    When they saw X and Christophere out of the room, they instantly hung their heads


    respectfully and greeted the two in unison, “Master Lancelot… Miss Quest…”


    X returned them a curt nod, and so did Christopher.


    Christopher quickened his pace to walk side by side with X. He then tugged her left sleeve and


    gushed, “I’ll make you forget all your problems soon.”


    Initially, he was hoping that she could slowly digest everything by giving her enough space.


    He thought she would feel better after that.


    However, it seemed that he was wrong. He had to work out another n.


    Upon hearing that, Tucker immediately rushed to Christopher’s side and whispered in his ear,


    “Master Lancelot, don’t forget about your big business…”


    “Shut it.” Christopher glowered coldly at him.


    He then tugged X’s sleeve and led her to the lobby.


    The others followed closely behind them.


    “Tucker, take six or seven people with us and ask the rest to go back first,” Christopher ordered


    frigidly without even turning around to look at him.


    Tucker nodded courteously and then casually pointed at six people out of the group of men,


    motioning them to stay with him. The remaining henchmen followed his instruction and called it a


    day.


    Afterward, the seven of them caught up with X and Christopher and went into the elevator


    together.


    Tucker pressed the first-floor button.


    X peered at Christopher hesitantly and cautiously. “You can actually leave me in my room if you


    have something to do.”


    Though she did not know what Tucker had told Christopher just now, she felt that there was


    something urgent waiting for him to settle.


    Christopher shrugged indifferently. “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal.”


    Tucker secretly rolled his eyes at his master.


    It was billions of dors worth of business!
