Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 36 At Least You Are Here

"I don't know." Barry shrugged.

"I feel worried to come here with you alone," After saying that, Hugh also followed Malcolm to leave. Seeing that, Barry was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted, "how can I make you feel uneasy? Wait for me, Hugh! "

Then, Malcolm came to the hall, looked around and finally saw the woman's figure. She seemed quite at ease

Poppi had been trapped at the booth, surrounded by several men. It's a pity that the three men came for Wendy and insisted on letting the little girl drink. "How about I punish myself with three glasses of wine? My sister really doesn't like to drink. Next time I come here, I'll propose a toast to you! "

A trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes and he frowned. Then he moved his body and was about to leave, but someone beside him walked towards the side of Poppi before him. It was obvious that Hugh was very anxious. He rubbed against Malcolm and walked past the booth. He rushed to the booth and called, "poppi!"

"I didn't expect that you are here. It's so unusual. And your wife is here too! But there is someone who cares more about your wife than you do. " Mr. Wei followed and stood beside Malcolm, with blurry eyes, "danger! It's dangerous!"

"You know clearly the relationship between me and poppi." Malcolm stared at the other side and asked, "who cares about her? I don't care."

"It's the best if you don't care. After all, you can't love two women at the same time, just two sisters... " Looking at the man's angry face, Barry Wei smirked.

"Mr... Mr. Su? Why are you here? " On the other side, Poppi opened her mouth and looked at Hugh with her drunken blurred eyes. She puckered her mouth slightly as if she were acting like a spoiled child.

"How much wine did you drink?" In a slightly angry tone, Hugh reached out and took the glass from Poppi's hand.

"Isn't that Mr. Su?"

"Oh, Mr. Su is here. Come on, let's have a drink!"

"Mr. Su has been busy since he came back. We didn't have much time to chat."

Those men turned around to look at Hugh. Poppi grinned with pleasure and swaggered to look for Shirley. But when she just turned around, someone came in front of her.

Poppi raised her head and looked at that man's face. As soon as she saw him, she took a deep breath and a trace of purity flashed across her eyes. She looked at him and said, "Malcolm, why are you here?"

Malcolm pressed his lips tightly and stared at her for a few seconds. Then he looked down from her smooth neck to her exposed thigh. His face darkened and he didn't say anything. Strangely, Poppi felt quite depressed and dared not to say anything anymore.

"Hello, Mr. Malcolm!" Wendy greeted. Just as she finished her words, a man walked out from behind Malcolm. He was wearing a suit, but the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and one part of his body seemed to break through the shackles and break free.

It was nobody else but Barry Wei.

Taking a look at Wendy, Mr. Wei put on an evil smile and said, "Wow, a sweet little beauty. How are you?" He reached out to shake hands with her.

Wendy blushed and hurriedly tugged at Poppi's clothes.

"Stop, stop!" Poppi took her hand back from Malcolm's and slapped his hand. She had never met Barry before, so she just took it as a man who came again to drink with Wendy. "My sister doesn't drink. Let me drink with you!" she said

"Can you still drink?" Malcolm asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, stop drinking." After he dealt with those men just now, Hugh turned around and held Poppi, "are you all right? Why did you drink so much? "

"All Poppi drink for me." Wendy said with a guilty look, "I won't drink it. To help me, Poppi accepted all of them. Don't scold Poppi. "

"I'm not scolding her," But, I am a little distressed

As soon as he finished his words, Hugh let out a sigh. Then, he saw Shirley run towards him in excitement. "Wow, you are so nice!" After looking around, she said, "isn't this Mr. Malcolm? Excellent kunfu! "

Malcolm didn't respond. But the woman rolled her eyes and turned to Wendy. "Hey, who is this?"

As soon as Hugh heard that, he interrupted and hummed, "it turned out that she was the only one that you three came here for fun while she was drunk?"

"Uh..." Shirley was surprised at first, but then she grinned mischievously and said, "Mr. Su, are you distressed?"

"Haha..." Wendy laughed innocently.

Malcolm only felt that his heart was sinking, as if being poured a basin of cold water on his body. He didn't even want to see the picture of Poppi leaning on Hugh as if he were a soulless person.

Or he wanted to drag her over to his side.

'according to the agreement, is there too little restriction on Poppi, so she is so free to do whatever she wants? He almost couldn't control her anymore!

"Next, miss. Qiu, please bring us a song called At Least You Are Here. Welcome!"

Suddenly, the emcee's voice came from the stage. All of them felt confused and then looked at Celine. However, Shirley grabbed Poppi and dragged her onto the stage, "Poppi, I just ordered a song for you to sing. Go quickly. It's your favorite song!"

Hearing the prelude, Poppi was a little bit sober, so she followed Shirley on the stage excitedly.

"Come on! Sit down!" Mr. Wei slumped into the seat and said to the people standing, "I'm so glad you are here. I'd like to hear miss. Poppi's songs! Aren't you tired standing there? "

"Is Poppi all right?" Wendy asked with concern.

He could not help looking at the little girl again. The way she looked, her look was so similar with another girl.

Poppi came to the stage and sat on the bar chair. She took over the microphone which caused a burst of cheers in the bar. The light in the stage became gentle, and there was a faint halo around Poppi.

"I'm afraid it's too late. I want to hold you..." When she spoke, Poppi was like a completely different person. She was drunk and woke up, as if she was sad. Her voice was not sweet; it was dry; it was like

singing after crying, which made people feel moved.

Malcolm didn't sit down, but fixed his eyes on Poppi. She looked extremely beautiful in the light. She had deep eyes, long eyelashes and fair skin. Against the lamplight, she looked exactly like an angel in the heart of Mr. Malcolm.

Perhaps in the past three years, he hadn't seen clearly what kind of person she was? In order to get money, she could almost do anything. But when she bought her grandma a gift, it was worth a lot of money, including a hundred thousand dollars She always dressed herself up nicely and gave the most beautiful face to everyone she interviewed, but she could go to the vegetable market without wearing any makeup

Malcolm couldn't figure it out.

"I can't move. I have to look at you..." It seemed that Poppi felt that someone was watching her on the stage. She opened her eyes as she was singing, and saw Malcolm directly. All the other people were burying themselves in the shadow. She could only see him.

This man's appearance was so familiar and so strange. His deep eyes, sharp eyebrows, roman nose and tightly pressed thin lips, even if he closed his eyes, he could still draw a clear picture of every moment.

Completely attracted by what Poppi had done, Hugh temporarily forgot Malcolm to stand aside and held a special look. He saw the smile on Poppi's face which came towards him, and he didn't know how obsessed he was with her. He had seen Poppi a lot of times, and his heart sank deeper and deeper in each time.

"Poppi, kiss me."

On the stage, Poppi's ears hummed a little and the words of Malcolm sounded again. Her face grew hot. Poppi slightly raised the corners of her mouth. The kiss by Malcolm seemed to be burning.

"If, I can give up the whole world, at least I still have you, who deserves my treasure. And here, you are a miracle of life..."

After reaching the karaoke, Poppi stood up from the bar chair, held the microphone, and stretched out her hand in a certain direction. The hair at the temples fell lightly, which covered the eyes of Poppi and made her look more gentle.

"Wow, what a wonderful song!" Wendy asked with a slight sway.

"Of course." "At that time, Poppi and I agreed to debut together. Look, who is she looking at? Is that Miss Su? "

"Maybe." Echoed Mr. Wei, looking up at Mr. Malcolm. Malcolm's face flickered, but his eyes were firm.

"The mole in your palm, I always remember where it is."

The last word of Poppi dragged on the line, and her voice was melodious and mysterious, attracting cheers.

Hugh could not wait to be the flower guardian. He came to the side of the platform and helped Poppi get off the platform. Poppi giggled at him, "Mr. Su, thank you."

"You sing very well." There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This is my name card. May I help you record?"

"Miss. Poppi, here is another toast for you!"

"It's incredible. Come on..."

Poppi was surrounded by several people. Though Hugh drank a lot to protect her, he was still cannot get rid of her.

When was the time to sit down, Malcolm almost circled the glass with his slender fingers. The sparkling liquid in the glass made his eyes look even more gorgeous. He put forth a little strength and drank up the wine.

"Mr. Malcolm, you have drunk too much!" Wendy couldn't help saying, "please don't drink it anymore."

"Hey, hey, little beauty, he's a good drinker. Don't mind him. Just drink to dispel your misgivings!" Mr. Wei leaned over, with his beautiful eyes squinting slightly. He was spraying the hot breath with alcohol near her ear.

Wendy was so frightened that she took a step back. Seeing that, Mr. Wei burst into laughter. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When the wine had gone through three rounds and the dishes had five flavors. They couldn't help but hurt each other.

"I... I'm leaving. My grandmother is still at home!" Poppi finally returned to her seat and picked up her bag to leave.

"I will see you off!" Hugh shook his head and got up.

Damn it!

Malcolm sat in a corner and put a glass of wine on the marbled table. "I'm leaving too."
