MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 82
There was a spiral staircase that led to a leisure area on the second floor by the corner of the hall where the party was held. The window occupied the whole wall, enabling the viewer to get a full view of the first floor. It was a one-way glass. Those on the outside wouldn’t be able to see what was on the inside. Standing by the glass window were two men.
Adrian noticed that John was about to make a move and he couldn’t help but sigh. “Jessica must be up to something again. She might end up causing trouble for your wife.”
John stared with a blank expression at the sight before him. Nina’s hand was around Noah’s arm and he didn’t like it one bit.
It felt really annoying.
Adrian continued, “You look so calm. Today’s banquet was held especially for you and your wife. Your brother-in-law is not so easy to deal with. I don’t think the royal family of C Island is happy to accept you.”
Adrian knew who Nina was the moment Leon’s men found him. He was so scared that he almost fell on his knees.
He thought that it was pretty amazing for John to marry a princess. The richest princess in the whole world, in fact. Adrian couldn’t help but admire John. John just pursed his lips. Of course he knew what the purpose of the banquet was.
If Leon was easy to deal with, it would be him down there holding his wife and not Noah.
He felt insulted.
“Mr. Shi, your brother-in-law is deliberately targeting you.” Adrian then pointed over to a woman. “Do you see that woman over there? Her name is May Su and she’s a famous movie star. She was paid by the prince. That woman has been acting under your brother-in-law’s instructions.”
John narrowed his eyes the moment he saw Jessica slowly approaching Nina.
When Adrian noticed that John was about to go down, he grabbed him by the arm. “What are you doing? You can’t go downstairs. Your brother-in-law is watching in the next room. The whole area is under his surveillance. He ordered me to keep you busy in here because he doesn’t want you to ruin his plan.”
“Get out of my way.” John shook of his arm from Adrian’s grasp. It was the first time he had spoken for the past hour. He shot Adrian a cold glare that made it harder for the man to refuse.
Adrian shook his head and stood by the door. “I can’t let you go. This is the prince’s order.”
“You listen to him?” The cold expression on John’s face never disappeared as he raised an eyebrow at Adrian.
“I have to listen to him. The fate of my position in the Song Group is in his hands. Our family used to have some business dealings with C Island. This time, the prince came to me and solved a lot of my problems. It was because of him that I’ve been able to establish a steady foothold in the Song family.
That’s why I must listen to him.” Adrian had his eyes closed the entire time he was talking.
He sincerely hoped that John would be able to understand him.
“I had always thought that Albert was a ruthless person. It was not until I took over the company that I realized that Albert knew how to treat worthy men with courtesy. Many people in the company were loyal to him.
However, that still doesn’t change the fact that he was also very cruel. No one in the company would dare to play tricks on him. Everyone respected and feared him at the same time. These are the things that I cannot do.”
Adrian let out a soft sigh upon recalling Albert’s death. He felt sad and guilty for hurting Albert when he was a child.
“If he could live longer, he would have become a legend just like you. The point is that after I took over Song Group, everyone is polite to me in public, but they don’t trust me. They think I’m incompetent. It’s not easy for me to get C Island’s help, nor is it easy to gain a strong foothold in Song Group.
If you go down now, they will withdraw their investment and break the contract. They won’t care about the financial damage it will cause. I will surely be the one to suffer if that happens.” Adrian swallowed his pride as a CEO and stared at John with pleading eyes.
John shook his head.
His expression softened.
He seemed to have accepted that he wouldn’t be able to go downstairs.
Adrian relaxed his shoulders and heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t really expect that John would care about his feelings.
Everyone knew that John always put Nina first without any exception.
Right now, however, he just treated Adrian as an exception.
Adrian was really moved by his gesture.
“She can handle it. She’s my wife after all,” John said. Although he sounded proud of his wife, he glanced over through the window with concern.
Adrian was at a loss for words.
John didn’t stand down for Adrian’s sake.

Nina was still indeed his number one priority.
He strongly believed in Nina’s ability, which was why he agreed to remain inside the room.
As soon as the realization hit Adrian, the corners of his mouth twitched.
When the two resumed watching over from the glass window, they noticed that Jessica was stopped by Vivian. The latter whispered a few words into Jessica’s ear which prevented her from going forward.
Now that Adrian was in a bad mood because of John, he wanted to rile the man up as well. “Mr. Shi, something unfortunate might happen during this dinner party. I’m guessing that this will either be your sister’s or Vivian’s doing.
Your brother-in-law is very protective and ruthless. Anyone who dared to mess with your wife will definitely lose their dignity later on. He probably wants you to make a choice between the Shi family and your wife.”
John remained silent. He was aware with all of these.
One thing he desperately prayed for was that the Shi family would not come out and target Nina.
The people who had been targeting Nina were possibly actors arranged by Leon. The man was deliberately trying to provoke them.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was lively at the hall on the first floor.
The music changed to The Blue Danube and the beautiful waltz melody echoed throughout the hall.
A voice came from the earpiece Nina and Noah were wearing. “Noah, invite Nini to dance.”
“Leon, what on earth are you planning?” Nina asked.
“Just listen to me, Nini.” Leon’s voice was gentle. “Just treat Noah as your brother and dance with him. Trust me.”
Of course Nina knew that her brother wouldn’t put her into harm. However, she suspected that her brother had deliberately set something up that she wasn’t aware of. She was worried that innocent people might get hurt.
“Leon, what if my husband misunderstands me?” Nina hissed.
“He won’t. He’s with me.” Leon glanced over to the room next to his. He wasn’t exactly lying.
“What? What are the two of you planning?” Confusion was now written all over Nina’s face.
The corners of Noah’s lips lifted into a smile as he glanced up at the glass window on the second floor. He might not be able to see anything, but he already had a hunch.
If this were to make Nina happy, he would gladly accompany her and finish tonight’s act.
“Ms. Lu, may invite you to a dance?” Dressed in a black suit, Noah looked dashing. His bowtie made him look like a gentleman as he flashed an irresistible smile.
The suit he was currently wearing had been actually chosen by Nina personally. She knew that it would be a perfect fit for him the moment she laid her eyes on it. His outfit made him look younger and more handsome.
Nina reached out her hand over to his. “Of course, Mr. Ye.”
The two smiled at each other and merged into the center of the dance floor.
There were several people dancing. James and Emma were there, as well as Harrison and Adela. The four of them were close to each other that it looked like they were competing on purpose.
Nina could sense that a lot of people were watching them.
One of them was from Jessica, who was currently clenching her teeth and glaring at the two with disgust.
A mischievous smile formed on Vivian’s lips. While she waited for the show to start, she started to think of how to kill two birds with one stone.
If she was lucky, she would be able to deal with Noah and Nina at the same time.
