I Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Pandemonium

When Mu Mingcheng refused a toast, the group no longer offered him wine . Instead, they praised him for taking care of his body, along with his country’s health practices .

Gu Jin sneered to herself . What does that have to do with paying attention to health? Instead, the man was staying away from potential trouble by refusing that wine . He must have learned this by experience . When one is abroad, it’s not as easy dealing with an emergency compared to when one is at home .

It’s been said that men at work are the most attractive, but most men were idle . Gu Jin wasn’t sure if it was because of her dream, but for some reason, whenever she glanced at Mu Mingcheng from this angle

e, his well-spoken words and sharp aura made him more beautiful and elegant . To her, he was just like–a mouthwatering carrot .

Oh my God, no way!

Gu Jin leaned against the window, her eyes wandering with the fleeting scenery outside . From an outsider’s point of view, her eyes looked empty without feeling . It was hard to guess what she was thinking .

“Stop, let’s get off from here . ” The car stopped in front of the pedestrian walkway and Mu Mingcheng opened the door .

“What’s the matter?” Gu Jin got off the car with her purse .

Since her plans to look around for handsome foreigners vanished into thin air, she felt remorse for sticking around Mu Mingcheng all day . If it weren’t for the sake of not embarrassing him in front of outsiders, she would have long ignored his thoughts and gone out to play by herself .

And Mu Mingcheng, who sabotaged her plans, dared to make other arrangements today?

“Didn’t you want to go shopping?” The man’s authentic handmade leather shoes touched the ground .

He ordered his assistant, “You may head back first . I can show her around . ”

Gu Jin looked up at Mu Mingcheng with disbelief . ‘He’s going shopping with me?’

“Since you accompanied me for my meeting, I’ll accompany you with your shopping,” the man explained when he saw her doubtful expression . He raised a brow and added, “Don’t think about it too much, it’s an equal exchange . ”

“You didn’t have to,” Gu Jin pouted . She would be more comfortable if she had gone shopping alone and enjoyed tea to herself . If he came with her, how could she get a chance to hook up with a foreign hunk?

The other assistants got on the bus and left sensibly . Only the driver, Lao Liu, was left behind sitting in Mu Mingcheng’s exclusive car while waiting on the couple .

After visiting several shops, the unsatisfied Gu Jin began to feel a little thirsty .

“Wait here, I’ll buy you water . ”

As he looked at the crowded vending machines, Mu Mingcheng insisted that Gu Jin stay at her spot while he got in line to fetch a water bottle for her .

The foreigners in this country were generally taller than people from Z country, but as Gu Jin stared at Mu Mingcheng’s back, the man was still very eye-catching and tall as he stood within this crowd .

“Hello Miss,” a stranger greeted behind Gu Jin . He spoke to her using the Z country’s language, but with a different accent .

Gu Jin turned around and saw a man of about 30 years old holding a traveling bag on his back .

It was a pleasure to meet people from the same Z country here in a foreign country .

“Hello,” Gu Jin replied with a gentle smile .

“Actually,” the man smiled in embarrassment as he explained, “My wallet was stolen along with my cellphone . Can you lend me your phone so I can call my friend to ask him to come and pick me up?”

“Sure,” Gu Jin said . It was such bad luck for this guy to encounter a thief in a foreign country . She didn’t mind lending her phone to a fellow citizen .

“Great,” the man smiled lightly and reached for her cellphone .

However, upon seeing the calluses on his broad palm, Gu Jin’s eyes flashed .

“I’m sorry . ” Gu Jin suddenly retracted her hand and said regretfully, “My cell phone doesn’t have battery so it turns off without warning at times . ”

Gu Jin raised her phone to show the man the black screen . “My boyfriend is over there,” she said as she pointed to the crowd towards the vending machine’s direction . “You wait here, I’ll have him come over to help you . ”

The man’s expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered his expression: “Thank you then . ”

“You’re welcome,” Gu Jin replied with a smile and nodded lightly . She steadily walked towards the vending machine .

Before she could reach his side, Mu Mingcheng’s instincts caused him to look in her direction . Her pupils seemed a little shaky and her smile was unusually stiff . On a closer look, he noticed that her hand trembled as it held the cellphone to her chest . Her lips moved as she mouthed a few words to him .

Mu Mingcheng silently smiled and waved to her . As soon as she reached his side, he grabbed her arm before quickly rushing into a door .

At that same moment, gunshots reverberated on the streets . The crowd was in a frenzy with screaming and wailing .

“Who was it?” Gu Jin asked solemnly .

“Not sure,” Mu Mingcheng pulled out a small revolver out of nowhere .

Gu Jin wiped her lips and refrained from speaking . She couldn’t risk distracting him during this critical moment .

In the silence, Gu Jin suddenly heard a ‘bang’ before she was tossed to the ground, disoriented .

The police sirens were getting closer, but she paid no attention to it, as if the surrounding sounds were all drowned out at this moment . She could only feel a man’s moist chest against her hand .
