Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 130: Which good woman would shoot at a dinner party?

The next morning, Li Keda prepared breakfast.

After hearing Li Ke's voice, Issa and Jinx went out at the same time, yawning at the same time, and then went into the shower room.

Li Ke didn't rush them and waited for them to finish washing up.

Three minutes later, Jinx and Isa finished brushing their teeth, washing their faces, then sat down at the table and began to enjoy the breakfast made by Li Ke.

After cutting her hair short, Jinx's washing time has been significantly reduced. She used to have to tie and comb her hair when washing her face, but now with short hair, she only needs to wear a hairband, revealing her fair little face, and then splash water on her face.

"Are you going to look for Wei later?"

"Well, that girl knows how to put on makeup and she knows the etiquette of the dinner party. I'll ask her for some advice." Jinx said while eating a meat bun.

It is not that cold in Zaun in spring, so now she is only wearing a large T-shirt. A pair of snow-white and slender legs are exposed from under the clothes. She sits cross-legged on the stool, her feet shaking. Jinx's eating movements are not elegant, but really cute.

Li Ke was fascinated by her cleverness and liveliness.

"What? Are you hungry?" Seeing Li Ke looking at her, Jinx handed him a half-eaten bun. Li Ke opened his mouth and took a big bite.

"I'm a really good cook," he said proudly.

What, don’t you mind that this was bitten by Jinx?

Of course I won’t dislike it!

Li Ke has been hiding from Isa with Jinx these days, practicing kissing techniques.

As their skills become more proficient, the two of them have now started playing the tongue-catching game in private.

What’s the big deal about biting a bun?

Jinx nodded vigorously: "What about you?"

"I'll go ask Jace for some advice." Li Ke said after thinking for a while.

Who isn’t a baby who cares about his or her appearance?
"Jinx, then we can only meet at the dinner party."

Li Ke added: "And I should enter before you, after all, Jace's home is nearby."

Jinx hummed, then raised her eyebrows: "Li Ke, you won't look at other women when the time comes, right?"

"Of course, I promise you." Li Ke naturally agreed.

Jinx nodded happily and looked at Isa beside her.

Seeing Isa frowning, with a look on her face that said - oh, I'm really speechless to you.

Jinx reached out and pinched her little face, groaning, "You have to go tonight, too."

"Huh?" Isa was a little confused.

What does she do at adults' gatherings and dinners?
But obviously, Jinx didn't give her any chance to refute.

In the afternoon, Li Ke came to Jace's manor and followed the butler into this luxurious residence. Jace came towards him with his hair combed meticulously, wearing a formal suit with a black rose knot on his collar.

"Come on, but Li Ke, how did you find someone to help you with your reference?"

"Among the people I know, you're the only one I have a good relationship with." Li Ke followed Jace.

Jace smiled and said, "But I have to say that you have found the wrong person. Someone else helped me put together this outfit. How can I, a grown man, understand these things? If you want to ask me about technology, machinery, and how to make a hammer, then I can teach you a lot of things. But if you ask me about my appearance, clothing, and what kind of perfume to wear, then I can't do that."

After hearing this, Li Ke turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Jace grabbed Li Ke's arm and said speechlessly: "Why are you so anxious? I can't do it, but there are people who can."

"Come on, Mel said she'd help you dress up, and she also has something she wants to talk to you about."

"Huh?" Li Ke looked at Jace and felt something was wrong.

Jace coughed and said, "I just told her about your relationship with Jinx, and then she said she wanted to talk to you. Of course, it was just a small matter."

Li Ke looked at Jace suspiciously, but still entered the room Jace led him into.

After entering, it is a huge clothing room with various men's and women's clothing neatly arranged, as well as expensive bags, shoes, watches and various exquisite accessories.

It was a bit dazzling to Li Ke. What can I say? It seemed that the whole of Li Ke's house was not as big as Jace's cloakroom.

Mel was standing in the center, and when she saw Li Ke, she smiled.

Mel was dressed very nicely today, wearing the same color dress as Jess, with a golden ornament on her head. She said to Li Ke elegantly, "Please come over here, Councillor Li Ke."

Li Ke nodded, and then Mel took him to the mirror. Jace stood beside him, listening to Mel's instructions.

"Jace, your clothes are too big for Councilman Li Ke. Go unpack the clothes I just sent someone to buy."

Jace did as he was told and reappeared a moment later with an armful of clothes.

Li Ke looked at it and found that the silk fabrics were all top-grade. Mel began to match Li Ke's clothes, and soon, Li Ke in front of the mirror seemed to have become a different person.

Li Ke put on a slim-fitting suit. Although he was not very tall, he had long arms and legs and a good waist. The black trousers and slim-fitting shirt made him look less thin. Mel, who was standing by, looked at him and shook his head.

"Black doesn't suit you, Councillor Li Ke, because you're too white." Mel took the other two pieces and said to Li Ke, "Your skin color is too white. Normally, black can highlight the purity of white skin, but you're too white, so black will make you look old and depressed. Therefore, I recommend that you try this light gray one."

"If you neutralize it, maybe it will get better."

Li Ke took the clothes, and Jace blinked beside him.

Entering the cloakroom, Li Ke changed his clothes. Mel looked at Li Ke and nodded.

Jace also smiled, stroked his neatly trimmed beard, and said loudly, "So handsome, Li Ke, the two of us will definitely be the most handsome two at the banquet tonight."

"Pair it with this watch and this collar."

Mel then matched Li Ke, and then she said, "By the way, Councillor Li Ke, there may be a little surprise at tonight's banquet."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that there are many noble women in Piltover who will take the initiative to approach you tonight." Meier said. She smiled and continued, "In Zaun, everyone knows that you and Jinx are a couple, but in Piltover, many people don't know about this. I have heard about it before, but I didn't take it seriously. After all, she looks more like your sister."

"Besides, if they knew about this, they would ignore it, because your current situation, Councillor Li Ke, is very similar to that of Jace back then. You are of noble status, young and promising, and handsome."

Li Ke seemed to understand what Mel meant, and then he became anxious.

What a joke! If Jinx knew that the noble children of Piltover approached her, and they approached her after knowing that she and I were together, Li Ke really couldn't imagine what Jinx would do then!
Isn't this just pimping?!

What kind of political marriage do you want to play?
Give me a break!

If Jinx doesn't grab the hair of women who approach Li Ke, slap them hard, or kick them in the stomach, it means that Jinx didn't have enough to eat in the morning!
"No, this is a small matter, right? Jace, do you think this is a small matter?"

"Mel, I'm serious. If you don't want anyone to die at tonight's dinner and don't want to see Jinx pull out a gun and shoot someone, then keep them away from me." Li Ke said speechlessly.

"She won't do that, will she?" Mel was shocked. He couldn't imagine what kind of woman would shoot someone at a dinner party just because her male partner was touched by another woman.
No, it should be said, what kind of good woman would shoot and kill someone at a dinner party?

Jace thought about it and said:

"I think what Li Ke said is true. This is indeed something she can do. There are no rules in her world. She only listens to what she likes to hear and agrees with the people she likes. Other people are transparent to her. So you and Councilman Gilaman thought that Jinx had no power and was not worthy of Li Ke. Mel, I can only say that you really thought too much."

"You know what? Jinx has two fathers in Zaun. One is called Hilco and the other is called Fandel. Although Jinx has never called them father in front of others, they both regard Jinx as their own daughter. Her sister is also the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau in Zaun."

"Not to mention, Li Ke is the Lord of Zaun, and she is the wife of the City Lord. I really think it was stupid that you discussed privately with Councillor Giraman and the Ferros family to send a woman from your family to contact Li Ke, hoping to form a marriage alliance with Li Ke and consolidate the alliance between the two cities."

"Then why didn't you say it then!" Mel glared at Jace.

"Didn't you let me speak at that time?" Jace also complained.

"Well, Li Ke, you take a look at what kind of watch and scarf you like. Jace, please help Li Ke take a look. I have something else to do. Sorry." Mel suddenly became a little anxious.

Regarding Jinx, all the records in Piltover say that she is a criminal, a lunatic, and a dangerous person.

After the alliance between the two cities, all the members of the Piltover parliament knew that Jinx and Leek were together, but in the eyes of politicians and businessmen, being together was actually nothing.

Because they think Li Ke is better suited.

Compared to a cute crazy woman, wouldn't a beautiful woman from Piltover who is well-educated, well-off and from a wealthy family be more suitable for Li Ke?
But now it seems that Jinx is not an ordinary dangerous person!
She could be the highest-ranking person in Zaun?!
What the hell is it that she has two fathers?!

Mel had a headache.

She was now in a hurry to find Senator Gilaman and have a good talk with her about this matter, so that those noble ladies of Piltover would not be so foolish as to get close to them again. What Li Ke and Jayce said were very serious, and if something really went wrong at the dinner party, it would not be a good thing.

This is the first time the two cities have held a banquet together!
Thinking of this, Mel simply lifted the hem of her skirt and walked indecently, her high heels making a clicking sound outside the house.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Li Ke looked at Jace.

"Yes, but I don't want to get involved in these matters." Jace shrugged and said with a smile: "I just wanted to see those nobles get humiliated, so I didn't tell Mel in advance."

Jayce had been in Zaun for a long time, so he naturally knew Jinx's position in Zaun. However, he did not tell Mel and Gilaman, obviously intending to watch for fun.

Li Ke was speechless, but then he laughed.

"Although I really want to see Jinx get jealous of me, because I will be secretly happy when I think of that scene, but... it's best not to have it."

"Other women get jealous by acting like a spoiled child and getting angry, but she gets jealous by shooting and killing people."

"My little lunatic is not that honest, Jace. Don't play so big next time." Li Ke put on his collar, stood up and said to Jace.

Jace nodded and said, "Just this once, and I won't tell Mel about your relationship with her later?"

After saying that, Jace walked up, put his arm around Li Ke's shoulders, and took Li Ke out of the house.

He said with a smile on his face:
"Okay Li Ke, we should go to the dinner."

"Let's go have a couple of drinks before those annoying guys get here."
