Chapter 827: He Said: Congratulations

After parting with Xiao Li, Zhuang Long felt extremely tired on the plane back to Boston.

He knew that he was going to sleep.

Zhuang Long realized that as he grew older, the time he woke up became shorter and shorter. He did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Thinking of Clarice, a strong thought arose in Zhuang Long’s heart. He wanted to cure himself and become a normal person. When Clarice needed him, he could go to her side and comfort her.

Zhuang Long forced himself not to fall asleep. He only fell asleep peacefully when he got off the plane and returned home.

Zhuang Long woke up the next morning. His mind was in a daze, but he did not realize that his memory had been cut off.

Zhuang Long did not expect that he would sleep for two years this time.

In the past two years, Zhuang Long had completely completed his studies and moved to New York.

He had his own independent research institute and signed Ji Yinbing, this precious treasure. The two of them developed the antidote for the KT virus together. Just last month, they even successfully conquered the AIDS virus and developed the antidote.

He was suddenly famous in New York and even the world.

On this day, he received an invitation from the new mayor. The mayor was going to take office and held a celebratory cocktail party. Other than politicians, there were also some celebrities in the business world. Zhuang Long had just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine last month, so the mayor naturally did not let him down.

If this was someone else’s banquet, Zhuang Long could go or not, but he could not retreat from this particular event.

Not only did Zhuang Long go, he even dressed up.

When he arrived, the cocktail party had already started.

The scene was filled with the fragrance of clothes and hair. The gorgeous lights made the reserved and elegant smiles on everyone’s faces even more moving. Not many people knew Zhuang Long, and he was in no mood to get to know those big shots. He sat on the sofa and watched them talk about popular political topics and business topics.

Of course, Zhuang Long could occasionally hear people discussing him.

This feeling was very subtle. You were sitting there, but the people behind you were discussing you. Fortunately, those discussions were positive. If they were negative, Zhuang Long might not be able to sit still.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

Zhuang Long also looked up and saw a man and a woman enter the venue.

Zhuang Long had seen many beauties over the years. At the scene, there were also many beautiful faces that were comparable to Hollywood female celebrities. However, they were all eclipsed by that woman.

The woman was wearing a red waist-length dress. The hem of the dress dragged on the ground. It was short in the front and long in the back, revealing a section of her calf that was flawless white.

The woman was holding the arm of a tall and mighty-looking man. The man looked a little mature and was probably in his thirties.

Zhuang Long stared at the woman for a while longer before looking away.

So what if she was beautiful? She was not his anyway. He would not get married in this lifetime. Zhuang Long was not interested in dating.

Zhuang Long drank a few glasses of wine and went to the toilet.

He washed his hands and hummed a tune as he walked back. However, in the corridor, he was pulled into a room by a hand.

Zhuang Long thought that a criminal was about to commit murder. His gaze changed slightly and he was ready to counterattack at any time.

The lights in the room were turned on. Under the lights stood a woman in a red dress.

Zhuang Long looked at the lady warily.

The woman looked at him with a bitter gaze. Her appearance really made Zhuang Long feel like he was a heartless man. However, he clearly remembered that he had never seen this woman before.

“I’m getting married.” She said something that Zhuang Long found baffling and confusing.

Zhuang Long was stunned for a moment before saying, “Congratulations.”

What else could you say when a stranger told you that she was getting married?

Zhuang Long thought that his answer was beautiful, but he saw that the beauty in the red dress was a little pale.

She stood there, her figure seemingly swaying.

Zhuang Long felt that her high heels might be too high and she could not stand properly.

Clarice stared at Zhuang Long with a complicated gaze that made Zhuang Long’s hair stand on end. They were clearly lovers, but he did not recognize her.

For a moment, Clarice almost shouted everything out and told Zhuang Long that they knew each other, that they were in love, and that he had a split personality.

But Clarice could not bear to.

She could not bear to see Zhuang Long in pain.

She could not bear to see him suffer, so she could only suffer by herself.

Clarice still did not give up. She walked to Zhuang Long and suddenly raised her head to kiss him.

Zhuang Long was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his heart was beating faster. He felt that he might be drunk.

Clarice held half his face in her hand. Her gaze was as gentle as if she was looking at her beloved lover.

Zhuang Long panicked and felt uneasy.

Chris’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “You actually congratulated me. Very good. You can say anything, but you have to congratulate me!” As if she had just woken up from a dream, she let go, opened the door, and left.

Zhuang Long stood where he was, looking dazed.

A moment later, Zhuang Long calmed down.

He shook his head and turned to leave the room. He walked down the long corridor, but when he turned the last corner, he heard a commotion coming from the room.

Zhuang Long looked over curiously and saw a familiar figure.

The fiery red fabric wrapped tightly around the woman’s sexy body…

A few minutes ago, the woman who had been frivolous to him was now hugging another man.

In the blink of an eye…

In the blink of an eye!

A wave of anger suddenly arose in Zhuang Long’s heart and quickly spread throughout his body.

Zhuang Long did not even understand where this anger came from, so his body acted first. He pushed the door open and stepped into the house uncontrollably.

Zhuang Long grabbed the tall man and kicked him to the ground. Zhuang Long picked up a hard ornament in the room and walked towards the man.

Seeing that Zhuang Long was about to smash the sharp corner of the inverted triangle in his hand onto the back of the man’s head, Clarice quickly hugged Zhuang Long’s waist from behind.

“Ah Long, don’t, don’t kill anyone.”

It was unknown what touched Zhuang Long, but his raised hand stopped dangerously on the man.

The man turned around in panic. He looked at Zhuang Long and then at Clarice. Then, he climbed out of bed in a panic and ran away.

The woman behind him patted Zhuang Long’s back gently and comforted him. “Don’t be angry, Ah Long. Don’t be angry…”

Zhuang Long did not know what went wrong.

After hearing the woman’s comfort, his anger did not subside at all. Instead, it showed signs of increasing.

Zhuang Long suddenly came back to his senses and hugged Clarice. He pushed her onto the bed and asked in a dangerous tone, “Why are you so disobedient?”
