Irvin was accompanied by a couple of other wealthy local boys.
At the sight of Queeny, they all looked amazed by her.
Someone bumped Irvin with an arm and said, “Dude, who’s this pretty girl? I haven’t seen her before, introduce her to us.”
How could Irvin, who grew up with them, not know what these people were thinking?
He pushed the man away with a wave of his hand. “Go away, stop your bullshit and drink your wine.”
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
“Bro, I heard you invited your sweetheart over today. Could this be her?” someone joked.
At this, Irvin's face went red.
He gave the man a sharp look and said angrily, “What nonsense? Queeny has been a friend of mine for years, just like you guys. Do not talk nonsense.”
His intention was to keep Queeny from getting angry with the kiddies.
But when they heard that Queeny wasn’t his sweetheart, and they found that Queeny was beautiful and alone, they assumed she wouldn't have a boyfriend.
So they became more attentive.
“Well, I got it. Like I said, how could you possibly be worthy of such a beautiful woman?”
“Stop it! Irvin's going to get angry if you keeping talking like that.”
“The birthday boy can’t get angry today, or he’ll be laughed at.”
And so they went on with their banter.
Irvin didn't know what to say to them. He felt helpless.
He had to explain to Queeny in a low voice, “Don't you mind them. They're just being mean, but they’re actually nice people. If someone really tries to mess with you, you can just beat the crap out of him. Don't worry about me, all right?”
The only reason he dared to speak to her like that was because she was Queeny.
If it were anyone else, Irvin would have to protect her himself.
After all, his friends, though harmless, were playboys, and it wouldn’t be nice if they offended anyone else.
But Queeny was different. Irvin was well aware of her inner Wolf nature. If these people were wolf cubs, then Queeny must be the Wolf king, and they were no match for her.
That's why he felt comfortable saying such things to her.
Queeny couldn't help smiling at this.
She nodded her head slightly and said, “It's okay. You don't have to worry about me. Go do what you need to do.”
At that moment, someone nearby happened to be calling Irvin.
So Irvin walked away quickly.
As soon as Irvin left, these boys gathered around Queeny.
“Hey babe, Irvin says you're his friend. How come we haven't met before? What's your name?”
Queeny glanced at the man and said, “I’m Queeny.”
Her beautiful lips whispered the name, and the man's eyes lit up.
Immediately another person laughed and said, “Are you a native or are you from Ambario?”
Since Queeny's mother was from Ambario, she looked like people from there.
Queeny thought about it and said, “Both, kind of.”
“I see,” said the man. “Part Ambario, right?”
