Chapter 1701
Theo slowly walked over. Each of his steps had a certain natural imposingness. His entire body seemed to be
glowing, making one unable to take their eyes off him.
No matter where Theo went, he was such a dazzling presence.
When | saw him, | was not overjoyed. Instead, | was somewhat surprised.
Was he not asked to hide? Why did he chere?
| stood up and asked, "Why did you..."
While looking at me, the corner of Theo's mouth curled up. "Hiding... isn't my style."
Why on earth did he say that out loud?
Zedd glanced atand seemed to have
guessed what was going on. He said with a smile on his lips, "Since you're here, why don't you eat with us?"
"Csit down, Theowy," Cindy greeted warmly.
"Are you tellingto sit farther away from my missus?" Theo stared at me. The passionate look in his eyes

Nheless, someone here was a little too direct with his words.
"Are you not givingthe seat?" Theo looked at Cindy. The look in his eyes was so blazingly hot that it left
Cindy with no other option but to switch seats.
Although she was incredibly reluctant, Cindy still sat next to Zedd.
Theo sat down next toas he had wanted and was nudgingwith his elbow several times, but | ignored
him. Cindy, on the other hand, was just as cordial as before. She continuously placed food on his plate. "This
one's super yummy, Theowy. Try it."
During the meal tthat followed, Cindy took meticulous care of Theo as she ignored Zedd, who was looking
gloomy next to her.
As for me, | knew that Cindy was deliberately trying to piss Zedd off, so | did not say anything.
Once we were finally done with lunch, we left the restaurant together.
Zedd was about to say something, but Cindy quickly took my hand. "Let's head back to the company together."
She was clearly avoiding Zedd on purpose.
Before | could say anything, Theo had shot his gaze toward us. He stepped forward, loosened Cindy's hand that
was holding mine, and wrapped his arm around my waist. "She's my missus, so I'll take her back myself."
After saying this, Theo did not care about whether the rest of us had anything to say or not. He simply turned me
around while | was in his arms.
| turned my head back a little and bade a quick farewell to them.
Before we got too far, | could hear Zedd say to Cindy, "I'll take you back to Nectarine Entertainment."
| could no longer hear Cindy's response after that.
Seeing my absent-mindedness, the man's arm that was placed around my waist suddenly tightened, making me
let out a moan.
"It's the middle of the day. Can't hold it in anymore, Madam?"
| could feel Theo's warm breath on my ear.
| blushed and pushed him away gently." Nonsense. You're the one who hurt me."
"Is that so. Then I'll have to make
up for my mistakes once we get back." As Theo was saying this, his fingers that were attached to my

| frowned and said, "We're still outside, so have smanners, flow'd you even know we were in that
restaurant?"
Theo had takeninto the car. While we were inside, he raised his mobile phone
and replied, "In order to avoid those dangerous things from happening again andbeing unable to arrive in
time, | had someone install & GPS tracking system on your phone. It's very easy to locate you."
He was once again doing things on his own before lettingknow.
"So you're saying | have zero personal space?" | pretended to be angry and turned my body around.
"I won't check it unless it's an emergency. Besides, you can see my location as well. This is quite fair."
| took my phone out to look at it, and sure enough, | could see his location.
"You're not angry anymore, right?"
| truly could not get angry while looking at that face of his. | heaved a sigh and said, Fine. Where are we headed
now?"
