Chapter 12 Can’t I be Jealous?
- A deep, familiar voice echoed beside her ears.
- Xia Micheng's pupils swiftly contracted. Was it Lu Yuzhen?
- She lifted her gaze and it was indeed Lu Yuzhen's elegant and smart-looking face which had been magnified, being so close to her sight.
- “Why are you here?” Xia Micheng was quite astonished as she did not expect him to show up here.
- Lu Yuzhen pressed her fine wrist against the wall. As Lu Yuzhen’s tall figure took a step closer to Xia Micheng, he had trapped her slender body between the wall and his chest. “I would have been cheated on if I didn’t show up.”
- “What do you mean?” Xia Micheng could not comprehend what he was saying at the moment.
- Lu Yuzhen raised his dashing eyebrows. “Still trying to act innocent with me? Who is that Mr. Wang out there?”
- Realizing that Lu Yuzhen had misunderstood her, Xia Micheng quickly explained to him by murmuring, “There’s nothing going on between Mr. Wang and me. I’m only here to deal with some matter.”
- “Oh? So you have to pole dance on stage in order to deal with that matter?”
- “I—” Xia Micheng furrowed her eyebrows. “Mr. Lu, you’re talking quite strangely today. Don’t we have a peace treaty on not questioning each other’s private affairs?”
- The very next second, all she could see was blackness when Lu Yuzhen abruptly kissed her on her lips.
- Xia Micheng’s eyelids fluttered slightly before she swiftly struggled to release herself from him. “Mr. Lu, you've crossed the line.”
- Lu Yuzhen lowered his gorgeous face, strongly imprisoning her in his arms in an overbearing manner. “Didn't our agreement also forbid me from kissing you? What are you going to do to me now that I’ve kissed you?”
- “…”
- She could find no retort.
- So now he was going to act shamelessly as well?
- “Mr. Lu, let go of me first!”
- Xia Micheng pushed against his muscly chest to shove him away. Halfway through her struggle, Mr. Wang suddenly knocked on the door, asking from outside, “Xia Micheng, what are you doing in there? I think I’ve heard some unusual noises.”
- Xia Micheng immediately gasped. She was so terrified that she did not dare move a muscle. “I-I’ve accidentally slipped. It’s fine.”
- “Hurry up and finish your shower. I can’t wait any longer.”
- “Alright.”
- While Xia Micheng was busy answering Mr. Wang, who was waiting outside, she suddenly felt Lu Yuzhen’s face on her veil, slowly making his way down until his lips were inside her veil.
- Then, Lu Yuzhen’s lips pressed on hers once again.
- When Lu Yuzhen had accidentally kissed her in the car previously, it was through a veil. However, it was different now; he was really kissing her lips this time.
- Xia Micheng’s nervous mind immediately blanked out. She seemed to have smelled the cool and masculine scent of him, with a slight tinge of tobacco lingering on him because he had just smoked.
- Lu Yuzhen did not shut his eyes. Instead, he stared directly into her alluring eyes. Her pupils had suddenly contracted and she was teary-eyed after experiencing the vigorous pounding of her heart; the purity in her was simply indescribably adorable.
- He then recalled her looks when she was pole dancing on the stage. The way her slender figure swayed like a pliant willow had made countless men besotted with her; she was simply Helen of Troy from the legends.
- The butler had once asked him what sort of power she had over him.
- Lu Yuzhen was initially indifferent when he met this girl who was going to be married to him on the train. However, her elegance, intelligence, calmness and dazzling style were the only things that crossed his mind now.
- Sometimes, she could be quite playful, cunning at other times, just like a little fox.
- However, she was as pure as snow when it came to love affairs.
- Just when Lu Yuzhen was getting all heated up over her, Xia Micheng suddenly opened her mouth and bit on his lips ruthlessly.
- Hiss!
- Lu Yuzhen came to realize that his lips had been bitten through when she let go of his lips; he was already tasting the faint scent of blood.
- “Are you a puppy? Why do you like biting people so much?” Lu Zhenyu lifted his hand to touch his lips that had been bitten through.
- Xia Micheng snorted furiously. “No one asked you to bully me in the first place!”
- Lu Yuzhen, who was initially frustrated, became slightly more gentle as he watched the girl before his eyes put up a lively look of anger. “I’ll apologize to you then. I’m sorry.”
- Xia Micheng glared at Lu Yuzhen and said, “Mr. Lu, let us be clear on something. There is nothing for you to worry about. As long as I am holding on to the identity as Mrs. Lu, I’ll never cheat on you. However, it's not my fault if there are men out there who fancy me and have dirty thoughts of me. Therefore, this is not a valid reason for you to doubt or take advantage of me.”
- Lu Yuzhen felt like he had been taught a lesson. Amused, the corners of his lips curled upward as he said, “Based on what you’ve said, I’m not even allowed to be jealous?”
- J-Jealous?
- Xia Micheng was startled when she heard the word ‘jealous’. So, all of that behavior was because he was… jealous?
- She never would have thought that he would get jealous because of her.
- Mr. Wang, who was waiting outside, began urging her again at this moment. “Xia Micheng, are you done yet? I’m going in to join you if you’re still not coming out,” said Mr. Wang, who was smiling in a perverted way.
- Lu Yuzhen put one of his hands into his pocket and slowly squinted his narrow eyes as he was about to exit from the bathroom.
- Xia Micheng immediately stopped Lu Yuzhen when she noticed that he was about to go out and fight. “What are you doing, Mr. Lu?”
- Lu Yuzhen snorted. “Even I myself have never thought of joining you in the shower. So, what gives him the right to do so?”
- Xia Micheng blushed as she consoled him softly by saying, “Take it easy, Mr. Lu. I will avenge you in a bit.”
- “Leave this man to me.”
- “No way, Mr. Lu, I’ve mentioned before that I don’t wish to rely on anybody. It will only make me weak and timid. Thus, you should not meddle with this matter. I can handle this on my own,” Xia Micheng insisted.
- Lu Yuzhen gazed at her in the eyes without uttering a word.
- “Just stay here, I’m heading out.” Xia Micheng pulled open the bathroom door and left.
- ……
- Mr. Wang had been on edge while waiting outside. He was about to enter the shower room when Xia Micheng finally came out. “Why didn’t you shower, Xia Micheng?”
- Xia Micheng grinned and replied, “I don’t feel like showering all of a sudden.”
- “It's fine. We can shower together later on. Come on, little beauty.” Mr. Wang pounced toward Xia Micheng once again.
- Li Qianhui had been guarding the door, plastering her ear against the wooden door to eavesdrop; she was worried that a mishap might happen again.
- All of a sudden, the room went silent, but there was an unusual noise after a few seconds.
- What just happened?
- Li Qianhui believed that Xia Micheng must have some tricks up her sleeve as she had agreed to this appointment too readily. Li Qianhui immediately pushed open the room door when she heard the unusual noise.
- “What happened, Mr. Wang, ?”
- Li Qianhui was taken aback when she saw that nobody was in the room nor on the bed.
- She knew that something was off. Just when she turned around, Mr. Wang, who was topless, pounced on her, hugging her in his arms. “Little beauty, come and have fun with me.”
- Li Qianhui fell onto the bed under Mr. Wang’s weight. She was stunned when Mr. Wang, who could no longer keep his bestial desires in check, had already ripped the buttons off her shirt.
