Chapter 956: No Man Could Fall Asleep
Liu Chengcheng had stars in her eyes as she quickly ran forward. “General Zhou, I’m ready.”
Zhou Yao had his hands in his pockets when he turned to look at her. He carefully looked at her modest face and revealed a soft smile. “Good girl.”
Liu Chengcheng’s heart melted. Although he was unpredictable at times and every minor action of hers might make him unhappy, he would occasionally reveal a soft smile to her like now. Every time it happened, she would fall head over heels for him.
“General Zhou, let’s go,” Liu Chengcheng held his muscular arm.
“Okay, where do you want to go today?”
Liu Chengcheng stretched out her small hand and said aggrievedly, “Two days ago, I saw a female star wearing a diamond bracelet. It’s so beautiful, but I don’t have one.”
“Then let’s go buy one now.”
…
In the jewelry store.
Liu Chengcheng stood in front of the counter and looked down. There were all kinds of diamond jewelry under the counter, s.h.i.+ning so brightly that she couldn’t wait to make them hers.
The salesperson took out a diamond bracelet. “Miss, this is the most popular style bracelet of the year. It was designed by a French master himself. It’s the representative piece of our store. It’s just that… the price is quite high.”
Liu Chengcheng glanced at the eight-digit price tag.
She was worried that the bracelet would be cheap. The more expensive it was, the more satisfied she would be. She turned to look at Zhou Yao and pretended to be timid as she said, “General Zhou, this bracelet is so pretty. But it’s so expensive.”
Zhou Yao’s expression was very gentle. “I’ll take it.”
Liu Chengcheng was waiting for him to say that. She looked at the salesperson with great pride and said, “Pack it for me please.”
“Yes, Miss.” The salesperson glanced at the man sitting on the high chair. His facial features were handsome and sculpture-like. His aura was strong and humble. His legs were very long. When his two long legs stretched lazily forward, the brown trousers were forced into cropped pants, exposing his slender ankles.
The salesperson had been in the shop for more than ten years and was used to seeing all kinds of fat heavy hitters bringing their young mistresses to buy jewelry. It was rare to see such an excellent man spend money so generously. She didn’t know what kind of luck this woman had.
The salesperson looked at Liu Chengcheng with envy.
Liu Chengcheng noticed the salesperson’s gaze and became more and more satisfied. She continued to look into the counter and said in a sweet voice, “General Zhou, this earring is also very pretty.”
Zhou Yao looked at the side of Liu Chengcheng’s face. It was fair and beautiful. He was a little absent-minded, and his deep eyes became softer. “Buy whatever you lay your eyes on, as long as you like it.”
“Really?” Liu Chengcheng immediately danced with joy. She circled around the counter. “This, this, and this… Pack them for me.”
The salesperson walked over and smiled. “Miss, your boyfriend treats you so well.”
“Of course!” Liu Chengcheng looked towards Zhou Yao.
She saw the man staring at her side profile. His attention did not seem to be on her person. He was only infatuated with her side profile.
It was as if he was looking at another person through her.
Liu Chengcheng did not mind. This is how dating was, each taking what they needed from the other. It doesn’t matter what he saw in her, as long as she got what she wanted, it would be fine.
…
After leaving the jewelry store, Liu Chengcheng went shopping at the mall. She chose a few expensive clothes and shoes. Zhou Yao held all kinds of bags in his hand.
Along the way, Liu Chengcheng received the envious gazes of all the women in the mall. A man like Zhou Yao would attract people’s attention all the time if they were in public. Liu Chengcheng’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
“Ouch!” She suddenly cried out.
“What’s wrong?”
“I think I sprained my ankle.”
“Then sit down first. I’ll take a look.”
“Mmm,” Liu Chengcheng nodded vigorously and sat down on the bench.
Zhou Yao, who was about 6’2″, knelt on one knee in front of her. He personally helped her take off her high heels, then gently held her jade-like feet and ma.s.saged them. “Are you feeling better?”
The man who was used to holding guns had very rough palms. Liu Chengcheng felt that her ankles were itchy and weak. This famous chief of T City, a man whom many prestigious families were eager to marry, was now squatting in front of her and ma.s.saging her feet. She immediately felt as good as if she was crowned Queen of England.
The girls pa.s.sing by looked at her with envy. Liu Chengcheng felt that her life was very complete.
…
At seven o’clock in the evening, the two of them walked out of a diner. Liu Chengcheng hugged Zhou Yao’s muscular arm and asked, “General Zhou, where are we going next?”
Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes, and his wild side gave out. “What do you think?”
“I think… I’m going home. My parents banned me from spending the night outside.” Liu Chengcheng pretended to be an obedient girl.
“Humph,” Zhou Yao chuckled. He leaned over and whispered into Liu Chengcheng’s ear, “I think your parents are too old fas.h.i.+oned. A… coquettish girl like you can keep a man up all night.”
Liu Chengcheng was shocked. She didn’t expect the man to be so bold and explicit. She looked up at him. He looked the same, dressed in a s.h.i.+rt and trousers, with those handsome brows. However, there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes as he sized up her figure.
Liu Chengcheng’s entire face was red. Under his gaze, she felt like she was naked.
“You’re so mean!” She punched him.
…
In the hotel, the presidential suite.
Liu Chengcheng walked out after taking a shower. She took a look and saw that Zhou Yao was standing on the balcony.
He took a shower in the other bathroom. He wore a black bathrobe. The bathrobe belt around his waist was loosely tied, revealing a large bronze chest. His wet short hair draped on his forehead, water was dripping from the ends of his hair. He was bending over with a cigarette in his mouth, trying to light the cigarette with his two big hands around the lighter.
The lights in the room were dim yellow, and he was standing in the spotlight, amidst the clouds and mist.
Liu Chengcheng’s gaze moved up and down the man’s tall and upright body. After taking off his facade clothes, he looked as strong and dangerous as a lurking wolf. She looked at his V-shaped apollo’s belt with infatuation. It was as if an electric current had pa.s.sed through her entire body. All women would fall for such a man, tough when dressed, lewd when striped.
Even if he did not give her money, she was willing to sleep with him.
Compared to those beer-belly big shots in the entertainment industry or the immature young blood, he could really excite a woman’s hormones at any moment.
Liu Chengcheng recalled his family background: Zhou’s family of T City, his grandfather was a general of his generation, the mayor of a city. But Zhou Yao did not hide under a big tree to enjoy the shade. Instead, he became the number one general of the army at the age of 32. The blood on the battlefield settled in his rough and big hands. His status and life experience had shaped him into a calm and humble man.
He is such a man: unswerving, mature, and strong.
