4295 The Other Side 264
The girls were heartbroken! Such a handsome little big brother was already married with a kid! While they themselves were pathetic singletons.
Sure enough, all the desirable men were either married or gay. Good men indeed already had their families and careers. Disappointment filled many faces.
Seeing that her plan had worked, Natalia hid a smile as she gently wrapped her arms around Gong Jie's neck and kissed his cheek.
There was another gasp from the crowd, and looks of envy and jealousy.
"Ahhh, I'm so envious. Suddenly I'm so envious of that little girl!"
"Exactly. If only I were the girl in that little big brother's arms!"
"Why don't I have such a handsome father?"
"This little girl really knows how to reincarnate!"
"I have to say, reincarnation is also a skill!"
...
The crowd gathered around Gong Jie and Natalia, talking animatedly, casting glances of surprise, envy, and wonder…
People were chattering around them, and the noise annoyed Gong Jie.
He turned around and swept his cold gaze around. Then he shouted expressionlessly, "Why are you crowding around here?!"
"..."
So fierce!
The coldness and distance in Gong Jie's expression was like the icy Arctic wind sweeping across barren land.
Everyone shuddered. Soon, like subsiding flood waters, the crowd dispersed. Not a soul was left.
Natalia felt rather satisfied now that everyone had retreated. She didn't like the idea of Gong Jie being watched like an animal in a zoo. She always found those looks repulsive. Except, she hadn't expected that one look from the man scared off the entire flock.
The actor removed his mask, his eyes wide with surprise.
See!
Sure enough, the problem did not lie with him!. Gong Jie's piercing gaze would terrify anyone! However, as expected of the Demon King. With just a look, he had forced so many people back and they had fled. This showed how frightening Gong Jie's presence was.
"Hmph, those women actually dare covet my daddy. They're too much!" Natalia put her arm around his shoulders and huffed. "Daddy is mine. No one can take him from me. Hmph!"
Gong Jie relaxed slightly at that, feigning calmness, he pinched her cheek and raised his eyebrows, remarking, "I thought someone said she was going to love another man more in the future. Seems like there's a big change in attitude, huh?"
The actor gulped.
Who would have thought that the guy was brooding over that remark still?
How petty of him to fuss over the words of a child.
Natalia objected. "Says who?"
"You said it, obviously."
Natalia denied it, pouting. "I didn't say that! I think both of you are important."
"So, if he and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?"
Hua Jin grimaced when he heard that. How could such an aloof Demon King ask such a childish question?
Natalia frowned at that and asked him a trickier question instead. "If I fell into a cesspit, would you save me and give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?"
Gong Jie looked bewildered and was speechless.
Was this a grilling of the soul?
