Chapter 331 The Dumb and the Promise

The two of us tried to bypass Director Jinniu's words and let the director taste the good wine made with the Dionysus beads, but Director Jinniu found out on the spot and turned the wine into chili oil, which made our mouths swollen with spicy heat...

How can you say that?

After hearing Emma's question, Leon's first reaction was to look at the red-haired director beside him, hoping that she could take on the responsibility of the director and talk her way out of the matter of her swollen mouth from the burning sensation. At the very least, he should not let Senior Emma know that he had agreed to such an outrageous request.

But he was not the only one who thought so.

After receiving Leon's look that said "Should you say something?", the red-haired chief glared back without hesitation. Her fox eyes, with tears in the corners, clearly showed her intention to evade responsibility.

According to the practice of the Kingdom's civil servants, the subordinates' achievements are credited to their superiors, and the subordinates bear the blame for their superiors! Now is the time for you, the subordinate, to play a role. Hurry up and take the blame for me!

No! If I take the blame for this and let Senior Emma know that I was with you and lost my moral integrity, how will she look at me in the future?

You can't face her, but can I? If she knew about this, do you know how long I would be scolded?

"what happened!"

After waiting for a while, she found that Leon and the other man kept winking at each other, but no one answered her question. Emma couldn't help but said anxiously:

"Why don't you say something? How come you got a swollen mouth after returning a coffin?"

"..."

Director, please say something! Senior Emma is getting anxious!

No! If you force me to say it, I will say you kissed me forcefully!

???

Speak now! If you don't speak, I will speak!

After vaguely reading the meaning of "give it all out" from the director's eyes, Leon was forced into a corner and had no choice but to bite the bullet and open his mouth, racking his brains to try to explain. However, he couldn't think of a suitable excuse until his brains ran dry.

After hesitating for a while with his mouth open, and watching Emma's gaze gradually change from worry to suspicion, Leon suddenly had an idea. He first pointed to his throat, then shook his head and waved his hands vigorously.

"Wuwu! Wuwu! Wow!"

I'm hoarse and can't speak. Don't ask me! Go ask the director!
???

No... is this possible?
Surprised by Leon's temporary silence, the red-haired chief instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to learn advanced experience, but Emma, who had noticed something was wrong, squinted her eyes and said, "blocking the road":

"Olivia! Don't tell me you're hoarse too!"

Mute, mute! I am really mute! We are both mute! So...

"If you are also mute, then speak with your soul!"

"..."

"What's going on? Tell me what's going on!"

“I say…I say it’s all Leon’s fault!”

Under Leon's shocked gaze, the desperate red-haired director actually raised his finger and pointed at himself, saying nonsense with a tearful face:
"He kissed me forcefully! My lips were swollen from kissing me!"

"Nonsense! I don't!" "Aren't you mute? What can a mute say? Shut up right now!"

"..."

……

"You two... really opened my eyes!"

Emma, standing on the head of the Crocodile God, complained with annoyance, although the tone was completely different, but the content was exactly the same as the Taurus Director's evaluation:

"For a bottle of wine, you can actually do such a thing! Olivia, you are really... Can you die if you don't drink this?"

"Well... Good Emma, today is my birthday after all, can you stop scolding me..."

"Don't just say it's your birthday, I'd still say it even if it's the anniversary of your death!"

Senior Emma, who was always gentle and kind, seemed to be really angry. After speaking harshly to the red-haired director, she turned around and looked at Leon, who was looking ashamed, and said with a look of regret:

"You too! I'm not surprised that Olivia acted recklessly, but I didn't expect that you would join her in making trouble this time! Do you still remember what you promised Lord Taurus?

Leon, Olivia's brain and strength are fine, but she only has one weakness, alcohol. If she doesn't change it, something bad will happen sooner or later. You didn't help correct Olivia's alcoholism, but you still followed her... followed her... you really are!"

"Um... I just thought that today is the director's birthday, and her birthday wish was just to have a drink, so I softened my heart..."

After explaining weakly, Leon lowered his head in shame, remembering his promise to Director Taurus when he asked for drinks. Then he said seriously:

"Senior Emma, I promise that this is the only time I will mess around with the director again!"

"What do you mean by following me and making trouble?"

After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director who was sitting on the Crocodile God’s head turned around and argued with a dissatisfied look on his face:
"Except for Emma, this is my first time kissing someone on the mouth. Why do you say it as if I've been defiled? Regardless of your looks or figure, you won't be at a disadvantage if I kiss you, right?"

"..."

To be honest, it's not a disadvantage if you do this, but the premise is that you don't lock my throat when you kiss me! Your sudden move was so deadly that it almost squeezed the wine out of my nose!

Also, what do you mean by "this is the first time you kissed someone on the mouth besides Emma"? From what I heard, it seems like you guys...

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Emma felt a little embarrassed by Leon's surprised and suspicious look. She couldn't help but glared at the red-haired director, then turned around and explained to Leon:
"Olivia was drunk at the time, and I was dragging her upstairs. She was mumbling things like 'Emma, you're so nice', and she came up to me and wanted to kiss my face. I happened to turn my head around and wanted to scold her, but I accidentally rubbed my mouth against hers... It was just a touch, nothing else!"

"Oh……"

After nodding doubtfully, looking at Emma who looked a little embarrassed, Leon wisely did not continue to ask about the kiss, but glanced at her right hand which had not yet completely escaped from the emerald form, and then asked with a little concern:

"Senior Emma, how long will it take for your hand to recover? The day after tomorrow is your daughter's birthday."

After going through so many life and death experiences in these years, do you still remember Ellie’s birthday?
After looking at Leon with some surprise, Emma's expression couldn't help but warm up slightly, and then she smiled and said:
“It’s okay. Even though it won’t be fully healed the day after tomorrow, as long as you wrap your hand with the [Snake Bandage] and be careful not to bump it against any hard objects, it will be fine. It won’t affect my birthday celebration for Ellie.

By the way, Leon, what I asked you to do before..."

"Don't worry, I've written it all down in my notebook. I'll be there at 6 a.m. on the th, under the big tree in front of Baohua Manor on Redwood Avenue. I'll be there by then!"

"Thanks……"
