Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xi was stunned by Xia Cheng’s shamelessness. He originally relied on the Yin family’s wealth to make a name for himself. After he became established, he abandoned his first wife and children. Now, he still had the cheek to covet the Yin family’s a.s.sets? If it were not for her grandmother’s prompt decision to cut off all contact with the Xia family, the Xia family might have long trampled over the Yin family.
Just as Qiao Xi was feeling extremely angry in her heart, a pair of scorching palms suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace. His hot breath sprayed on her neck as his low voice sounded from behind her ear. “I won’t abandon you.”
The afternoon sun shone on the two of them through the window. Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, the man approached and blocked the dazzling sunlight. His deep eyes were filled with affection, and his slightly cold lips moved slightly. “Not all men are like Xia Cheng. At the very least, I won’t like other women, nor will I let you suffer.”
Qiao Xi’s entire body stiffened while her heart thumped violently. She looked at the man in front of her and felt her eyes sting.
Gu Zheng said extremely seriously, “Xi Xi, I love you, so I won’t give myself any chance to get close to other women. I swear that I’ll only love you in this life. I’ll only have you.”
With that, he slowly lowered his head and pecked her lips.
“Gu Zheng!”
His slightly cold fingers pressed against Qiao Xi’s lips and gently rubbed them. After a long time, he slowly stood up. Qiao Xi fell weakly onto the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. “I only kissed you once, yet you already lost your strength. You’re too weak. You should train your body more. Otherwise, how can you withstand me?”
Qiao Xi’s face flushed red as she glared at Gu Zheng angrily. Her voice was filled with grievance. “What are you talking about?! It’s all because you bully me that I…”
Gu Zheng bent down and picked her up. “It’s my fault, Mrs. Gu. Don’t be angry anymore. Do you still have the strength? Do you want me to carry you away?”
Qiao Xi: “…” This was a Western restaurant. Gu Zheng wanted to carry her downstairs to the parking lot? They would meet many people along the way. If they saw her like this, how could she face others in the future?!
Qiao Xi jumped out of his arms angrily and held onto the table to steady herself. She walked unsteadily to the mirror. The woman in the mirror had limpid eyes and slightly red lips. It was obvious at a glance that the two of them had done something unspeakable in the room. What was even more infuriating was that Gu Zheng had unknowingly left a hickey on her neck. It was especially obvious on her fair skin.
......
Gu Zheng also noticed the mark on her neck. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “Wear a scarf. It’s a little cold outside.”
Qiao Xi glared angrily at the man in front of her, but Gu Zheng ignored her fierce gaze. He picked up the scarf on the table and put it on for her. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat at home?”
Qiao Xi turned around with her cheeks puffed up and refused to talk to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng’s face was still gentle. “I’ll cook. What do you want to eat?”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes in surprise. Did she hear wrongly? Gu Zheng wanted to cook? She still vaguely remembered the dishes on Gu Zheng’s table.
Gu Zheng said casually, “Mrs. Gu, do you despise my cooking so much? In that case, let’s go home and do something meaningful.”
Qiao Xi’s face instantly flushed red. She knew what Gu Zheng meant. Ever since the two of them slept together, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d had always used such things to threaten her. Who would have thought that the cold and abstinent Gu Zheng would be so crazy in bed?
She suddenly remembered that the butler had said before that Gu Zheng had been studying recipes recently and even went to the kitchen often. The butler was still puzzled. Was the company doing too well recently? Was the president so bored that he wanted to learn how to cook?
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Zheng with slight doubt. Could it be that she despised Gu Zheng’s cooking earlier and he kept it to heart, so he wanted to make up for his previous humiliation?
With an uneasy heart, Qiao Xi obediently followed Gu Zheng to the supermarket. Today, he specially gave the servants at home a break. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was not around to personally cook for Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi said in horror, “You don’t have to personally cook, right? We can eat in a restaurant.”
“Mrs. Gu, I’ve been studying recipes. I promise that the food this time will be delicious. Believe me, okay?”
Looking at Gu Zheng’s handsome face, Qiao Xi really could not bear to refuse. She could only follow him into the supermarket. The moment the two of them appeared, they immediately attracted many gazes.
