Operation Red Book

Chapter 477 The Wedding That Can’t Wait

"Your eyes are red, did you cry just now?"

Hearing Beatrice's mumbling, Ivy was stunned at first, then turned her gaze back to the crowd.

The two people and the cat walked along the path in the market for a distance, and finally settled down temporarily in front of a small stall selling wine.

Ivy ordered two bowls of glutinous rice balls with sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and even went to the stall opposite to buy a bowl of fragrant goat's milk.

“Meow—meow—”

The short and sticky cat's meow first attracted Ivy's attention. She looked to the right side of the wooden table with a doting smile in her eyes.

The little black cat sat in front of the basin of milk with its tail curled up, its whole face immersed in the fragrant goat's milk. It licked the residue at the bottom of the bowl with all its might, and its two ears curled up to the back of its head.

"Did that skinny bad boy make you angry?"

Seeing that Ivy ignored her, Beatrice raised her voice.

She hadn't finished chewing the roasted chicken skin in her mouth, and her cheeks were bulging, with no idea how much food had been stuffed in them.

The noise in her ears was so noisy, coupled with the thick accent, it was difficult for Ivy to understand.

"How about you finish eating first?"

Ivy gave some thoughtful advice, but Beatrice shook her head while munching on the remaining barbecue.

"I'm going to find Bell!"

"You are not allowed to go."

"Ok?"

Ivy raised the corner of her mouth and pointed to the grilled chicken skewers in her left hand, and then to the ten candied haws in her right hand.

"Ah?" Beatrice swallowed the meat in her mouth and asked in confusion.

Ivy smiled but said nothing. She pointed at the sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, crispy pork elbows, grilled oysters, spicy crayfish, red bean taro balls, marinated duck feet, chimney ice cream, and a whole pack of butter beer on the table...

"The total is 500 pounds. I'll charge you 10 pounds for every gram you can't finish. I'll give you a discount for the can of goat milk your kitten drinks..."

Ivy smiled faintly, and the black pupils that leaked out from between her eyes were particularly cunning.

"I'll charge you £700 in total, cash or on credit?"

"Tsk!"

"Clang-"

Before she finished her words, Beatrice quickly took off a diamond from her hand and threw it heavily in front of Ivy's desk without blinking.

It was a diamond ring the size of a quail egg, inlaid with full-carat diamonds inside and out.

The candlelight in front of the store shone through the dazzling diamond in the middle, and the entire store was instantly filled with dazzling brilliance.

Ivy raised it high, and countless slender crosses of light flashed in her black pupils. That was the light from the edge of a diamond, and every inch of it was uniquely beautiful.

"This is your engagement ring." Ivy shook her head and carefully pushed the diamond ring back. "It's too valuable. I can't find it."

"No need to look for it. It's just a pile of junk to me anyway."

Beatrice said heavily, she reluctantly pinched the ring and threw it to Ivy again.

The priceless diamond ring rolled several times on the wooden table, and was finally knocked off the table by the black cat's paw.

The diamond ring fell to the ground with a crisp sound. No one cared about its existence. The diamonds on the body lost all their dazzling aura in the blink of an eye.

"I'm going to tell Bell Cruz that the wedding is off and she doesn't have to come..."

Beatrice held her cheek with the back of her hand and stirred the glutinous rice balls in the bowl out of boredom.

"Wedding?" Ivy tilted her head.

"The wedding between Baron Rex and me was supposed to take place next week."

"My boss arranged for me to marry him in order to lure out the demon who betrayed the entire hell..."

"Jasper?"

"That's right." Beatrice turned and looked at Ivy.

“Where there are more people, there are more souls, and there are more demons and monsters that want souls.”

"Hell, heaven, the underworld, the abyss, and I heard there are things in the sea..."

"That wedding should have been the grandest banquet in the century. There would have been countless humans standing on the grass, and the evil spirit soldiers lying in ambush below would have been more numerous than the residents of Mexico..."

"I've begged for a long time. When the time comes, Boss will be my witness, and that yellow-haired guy will be my flower girl who presents the ring to me..."

"Professor White will walk down the aisle with my arm around his, and a wedding ring a hundred times more dazzling than that engagement ring will be on my finger..."

"Can you believe it? I rehearse the wedding ceremony every night, especially the sweet kiss..."

"I want Belle Cruz to stand by my side the whole time and follow me like a pug!"

"I want her to wear a dress tailored in Paris that matches my wedding dress, but my beauty will always be overshadowed by it. I want her to be envious and jealous to the point of going crazy! She may even hope..."

Beatrice's bronze skin turned pink, and she was trembling with excitement, and her shoulders and eyelashes shook uncontrollably.

"I even hope that she can snatch me away during the wedding, in front of everyone, saying that she can't live without me and that she wants to apologize to me..."

"She had to kneel down in front of me, on her knees, with her upper body at my feet. She cried, shouted, and screamed... all just to beg for a kiss of forgiveness from me!"

"Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! I can't even imagine…"

Beatrice's features suddenly widened, and she looked like a crazy swamp witch.

“How wonderful everything will be!”

"and then?"

Ivy easily interrupted her madness, and her suddenly shrunken pupils were immediately replaced by a helpless and sad expression.

"Then……"

"The demon that was about to fall into the trap suddenly appeared in front of the Boss. Jasper was severely injured and never appeared in the world again..."

"The plan was cancelled, the wedding was canceled, and I returned to the organization, the always shy curly-haired boy..."

Beatrice looked up at the stars in the sky, tears swirling in her eyes.

"He floated in the pool in front of the mansion and drowned... But the day before, we were still sleeping in each other's arms, kissing deeply, and discussing whether to submit a few wedding invitations to the royal family..."

“Nyaaaaaaaaaa——”

The black cat's cry suddenly sounded, bringing both of them back to their senses.

Its little head was splashed with white goat milk, and as if it sensed Beatrice's sadness, it stood with its tail erect and trotted towards its owner.

"What?"

Beatrice's eyes were red as she dodged the black cat's active head rubbing. Her eyes were neither calm nor indifferent.

“Meow, meow, meow, meow—”

The black cat, whose kindness was in vain, immediately ran towards Ivy with its throat smothered. It frowned and its tail swung back and forth, obviously feeling extremely wronged.

"Hahaha……"

"So good, so good..."

Ivy stroked the black cat's fur and gently wiped off the goat milk on its face, not knowing who to comfort first.

The two were silent for a long time, so long that all the food in front of Beatrice had gone cold.

"I mentioned to my boss a long time ago that I didn't like the person I was marrying, but I liked the carefully planned wedding..."

Beatrice's hoarse voice could not be heard clearly in the surging noise.

She looked at the people coming and going with dark eyes.

Ivy did not reply, but silently picked up the diamond ring lying under the stool and quietly put it into her pocket.

"Let's go, we haven't finished shopping yet."

Ivy stood up and slowly put the black cat into Beatrice's arms.

"You are looking for Ms. Bell, and I am looking for Joshua. It looks like we have to continue our journey for a while."

Ivy said softly, she pulled Beatrice up, put her arms around her slender waist and hugged her, which was a small comfort.

The black cat in her arms was sleeping soundly, her breathing as steady as Beatrice's. She stared into Ivy's eyes, her gem-like eyes filled with complex emotions.

"it is good."

After a while, Beatrice simply responded to her.

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting a reply. After comforting her two companions, she kept smiling and turned to go to the boss's counter.

"Check out."

"Okay! A bowl for Chinese is 10 cents, and a bowl for foreigners is 10 pounds! I'll give you a discount and charge you 10 pounds!"

"The price difference is too big..." Ivy smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Hahaha! After all, he is the person you specially designated!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down..." Ivy's face suddenly darkened. "She's been to China, she can understand."

"Oh... OK!"

The boss's flattering expression remained unchanged, but his voice suddenly became much softer.

Ivy turned her head to glance at Beatrice's charming back and spoke in a stern tone.

"Be on guard and keep an eye on her."

"Okay, host."
