LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 209: She just asked me if I was free tonight
Faced with Zhang Menglong's slightly frivolous sigh, Kristen not only didn't get angry, but her smile became even more brilliant. She licked her flame-like hot red lips, and the charm about her grew even richer.
"It's a great honor for me to be friends with an outstanding man like Mr. Zhang," Kristen said as she sat down beside Zhang Menglong, a breath of her high-class perfume making Zhang Menglong momentarily lose focus, her hand also resting on Zhang Menglong's leg.
"Damn! Be friends with me? That's definitely you lusting over my body!" Zhang Menglong saw through it all in an instant.
"Miss Kristen, it seems you've been observing me all along." Having been through the gauntlet of internet celebrities and a clutch of European princesses, Zhang Menglong's resistance to women had increased somewhat; he shifted his body slightly, made some adjustments below the belt, and quickly recovered.
"Oh, it's not just me," Kristen laughed, "I just made a bet with Emma that today you'd be willing to visit someone's room, or perhaps, all three of us together!"
Having said that, Kristen threw another coquettish glance at Zhang Menglong.
Zhang Menglong looked toward Emma Watson and indeed, she was also giving him the eye, even intentionally pulling down the neckline of her dress by an inch, revealing that captivating curve.
"Damn, do Europeans play this openly?" Zhang Menglong was momentarily speechless. Compared to the women of Huaxia, these European goddesses were even more unrestrained!
"Miss Kristen, if you've been paying attention, you should know that I have a girlfriend!"
"Giggle, giggle, giggle..." Kristen let out a string of laughter like ringing bells, as if what Zhang Menglong had said was hilariously amusing, "Mr. Zhang, we're just having a bit of fun, it's not like we're dating. Plus, I have a boyfriend too!"
"Damn, such a messy circle!" Zhang Menglong had just seen Kristen being all lovey-dovey with that energy tycoon, and now it turned out she had a boyfriend. Does she think she's all that, and does her mom know about this?
"What an era we live in, Mr. Zhang's thoughts are still so conservative," Kristen pressed close to Zhang Menglong's face, "Could it be that Mr. Zhang only has one woman? Then you're truly a rare breed of purity in this world!"
"Young people these days sure know how to play!" From the angle where Ma Yun and others were standing, it looked as though Zhang Menglong and Kristen were kissing. At their age, it was hard for them to accept such a scene.
Even Ma Hua and Li Hong couldn't help but cover their eyes. They might not be the types to fool around with a lot of women, but they definitely wouldn't be so brazen about it.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a while longer!"
"Hahaha, maybe we won't even get our turn tonight!" Ma Hua pointed in another direction, where Emma too was holding a glass of red wine and walking their way. Clearly, she was also targeting Zhang Menglong.
Even for men their age, those two goddess-level actresses were very charming. They couldn't believe that a young, virile man like Zhang Menglong could resist such a temptation. Maybe he would be drawn into their Silk Cave before long.
"Mr. Zhang, I've long admired your reputation!" Compared to Kristen's natural flirting, Emma seemed more like a straightforward, carefree tomboy. Of course, her innate sex appeal and beauty were undeniable. Back when Zhang Menglong watched "Harry Potter," he couldn't help but pay a lot of attention to her.
Many child stars look cute when they're young but grow up to be less attractive. However, Emma was definitely one of those women who became more enchanting as they matured.
"How so, Miss Emma? You know me?" Zhang Menglong clinked glasses with her, "Don't tell me you've only come to know me today?"

"Not at all!" Emma said, "I noticed Mr. Zhang the first time you appeared with Mr. Poladi in the World Economy Weekly. I'm really interested to find out what kind of person could command such respect from the richest man in the world, and even have such impressive elders."
"But they all think I'm an idiot," Zhang Menglong helplessly spread his hands.
"Turns out, they're the idiots," Emma said the word 'idiots' with an awkward twist, which did amuse Zhang Menglong a bit.
"If you two keep chatting, you'll end up in bed together. Can you please spare a thought for my existence?" Kristen interrupted when she saw Zhang Menglong and Emma getting along so well, clearly not so happy. Shouldn't her charm be at least on par with Emma's?
Only, she didn't understand that for Zhang Menglong, aside from Lu Yiyao, other women were just women. Even goddesses. It was only because Emma was indeed quite humorous and witty that he was willing to chat with her more.
"Miss Emma, you're not here to ask if I'm free tonight too, are you?" Zhang Menglong teased.
"So, what would Mr. Zhang's answer be?" Emma also looked at Zhang Menglong with seductive eyes.
"I've heard Mr. Zhang is the most important guest here today, I wonder if I have the honor to make his acquaintance?" Just as they were getting into their conversation, a somewhat uncomfortable voice interrupted them.
This was a tall and straight young man, handsome and dignified. If you had to describe him, you could probably only use 'Prince' from the phone conversation. At least in Huaxia, such a person would attract countless adoring glances if he appeared on the street.
But Zhang Menglong felt a strong sense of greasiness from this man. Perhaps he should participate in the "Chase the Light, Bro" variety show to cut down on the grease. He believed Teacher Jin Xing's evaluation would be unforgettable for him.
"Who are you?" Zhang Menglong glanced at the young European, noting the disgusted looks both Kristen and Emma showed the young man.
"Right!" Zhang Menglong suddenly had an epiphany. He remembered that last year, a Prince from England expressed his admiration for Emma Watson but was rejected. She even became the first female star to reject a Prince from England.
When the media interviewed her, Emma simply said, "I just rejected a person I don't like, who happens to be a Prince, that's all."
If Zhang Menglong hadn't misremembered, this young man was that Prince, apparently named Harrison.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Harrison Willy," Harrison showed off what he thought was a very charming smile, "Emma, it's been a long time since we last saw each other."
"Prince Harrison, if I remember correctly, we just met on set three days ago. Please don't come to my workplace looking for me again, it really affects my filming!" Emma showed no hint of softening her rejection of Harrison.
But Harrison seemed accustomed to this cold shoulder, "Emma, why do you always reject me so? You know, if you were willing to be with me, with my resources, I could surely further your career!"
"Sorry, I have no interest in you," Emma moved closer to Zhang Menglong, "Mr. Zhang, let's continue to talk about 'Three-Body.' I'm very interested in this movie and would even hope to join the filming of subsequent works if there's a chance."
Zhang Menglong was smart enough to see how impatient Emma was with this Prince Harrison. Moreover, he was talking to a beautiful woman when Harrison interrupted and even now acted as if he were invisible flirting in front of him. This was too much of a slight!
"Oh, now I remember," Zhang Menglong suddenly slapped his thigh, "You were rejected by her!"
Harrison's expression changed abruptly, he hadn't expected Zhang Menglong to be so undiplomatic and to jab directly at his sore spot. A Prince being rejected in pursuit, that was a huge deal. This past year, Harrison had been ridiculed more than a little, and even the media had publicly executed him more than once.
"Prince Harrison, is it?" Zhang Menglong spoke up, "Miss Emma just said she has no interest in you. She just asked me if I was free tonight, and I happen to have a very free evening, so please, Prince, do not disturb our time together!"
