Chapter 14 A Jealous Lover
- Huo Zhixun, who was sitting at a side, thought he was hearing things now. Boy toy?
- Who? Yuzhen? The heck!
- Lu Yuzhen’s intense eyes glanced through the check briefly and fixed his gaze on Xia Erxiang’s pretty face. His deep voice was calm and dull throughout as he said, “What do you mean?”
- Xia Erxiang saw this guy the other day at the cake shop; she was still thrilled now that she was seeing him again. Her petite blushing face had an expression of admiration for the flawless face of the handsome man, but at the same time, she was trying to exert her superiority by treating him as a gigolo. “I’m giving you this check. Stop following Xia Micheng from now on. I’ll be your sugar mommy.”
- Huo Zhixun was speechless.
- What had he just seen? He could not believe that he would witness his brother being given a check by someone for him to be a sugar baby. What had happened to this world? Was this an hallucination?
- Lu Yuzhen kept his hands in the pocket as the corner of his lips curved upward to let out a sneer.
- He did not explicitly reject her or shame her, but Xia Erxiang had turned red because of his sneer.
- Xia Erxiang had no idea what had happened to herself. She was the rich girl of the Xia Family, whereas he was just a boy toy. But the way he carried himself—including his glance—radiated a superior aura, making her feel ashamed of herself.
- “W-What are you smiling at?”
- Lu Yuzhen raised his sleek brows. “Nothing much. It’s good to have self-confidence, but you need to look at yourself in the mirror more often.”
- Lu Yuzhen walked away with his long straight legs upon finishing his sentence.
- Xia Erxiang’s enthusiasm was extinguished by his sarcasm. Was she just being rejected by a gigolo?
- Since when did gigolos have that much arrogance?
- Lu Yuzhen stopped after walking a few steps because he saw a beautiful figure in front of him; Xia Micheng was here.
- Xia Micheng came out of nowhere. Her gleaming clear eyes were gazing at him.
- Huo Zhixun thought, Ho! What’s the special occasion today? Bro is being caught red-handed by his wife.
- Lu Yuzhen stared at Xia Micheng for a few seconds before taking out his hands from the pockets, exclaiming urgently, “I didn’t do anything. You saw it yourself. She was the one who tried to seduce me!”
- The man who was cold and inviolable in the last second had a drastic change of attitude as he complained to Xia Micheng in an innocent tone. This scene had stunned Huo Zhixun, while Xia Erxiang’s injured ego was given a second blow.
- “Xia Micheng, it’s you again!” Xia Erxiang clenched both her fists and teeth furiously.
- Xia Micheng walked forward, with her petite body blocking in front of Lu Yuzhen. “Xia Erxiang, I’ve always thought of you as a sub-graded Li Qianhui, but she should still feel proud of you because you inherited her tendency of liking to seduce married men!”
- “You…”
- Xia Micheng did not give Xia Erxiang a chance to reply and snatched the check that she was holding in her hands. “500 thousand ? You’re really something, Xia Erxiang! Where did you even get this much money from? It seems like you have given your all this time. Do you like my boy toy that much?”
- This 500 thousand was all of Xia Erxiang’s savings and a minority of it was even borrowed from her friend. She was truly enchanted by Lu Yuzhen, which was why she was giving her everything.
- Xia Micheng made a sarcastic sound as if she was pitying her. “It’s a shame that he doesn’t feel the same way as you do. No matter how much money you offer, he still won’t lay his eyes on you.”
- Xia Micheng turned her head toward Lu Yuzhen’s handsome face while she asked, “Tell her who do you belong to!”
- Lu Yuzhen looked into the girl’s eyes that contained a certain shyness, then a loving grin appeared on his lips as he answered, “I belong to Cheng.”
- I belong to Cheng.
- Xia Micheng’s heart thumped; she thought that she was domineering the situation, but this man had taken control instead now that he called her so intimately.
- His magnetic and sexy voice that called her ‘Cheng’ had made her heart skip a beat.
- Xia Micheng came back to her senses hastily and glared at Xia Erxiang warningly. “Xia Erxiang, I’ll let it go this time. If you dare to seduce my man again, I won’t be nice to you anymore!”
- Xia Micheng held Lu Yuzhen’s huge hand and said, “Let’s go.”
- Huo Zhixun was left thinking, Man! Bro’s wife is so domineering!
- Xia Erxiang was so enraged that she felt like she would vomit blood anytime. She had always known that Xia Micheng was an eloquent debater, but she did not know that she would be this demeaning as well.
- ……
- Lu Yuzhen was dragged away by Xia Micheng for quite a distance. Her hand was small and soft, which were kind of hard to grab a firm hold on to. Lu Yuzhen wiggled his fingers to get a better hold of her hand.
- However, Xia Micheng shook his big hand away and snorted. “Mr. Lu, I’m just an audience. Now that I’m involved and have participated in the drama of two girls fighting over a man, are you satisfied already?”
- Lu Yuzhen smirked. “Why do I smell something bitter?”
- A bitter smell?
- Xia Micheng took a sniff but there was nothing she could detect.
- But she understood what he meant in the next second—he meant that he could smell jealousy.
- Xia Micheng glared at him from the corner of her eyes. “Mr. Lu, I have just done you a favor, yet you’re being ungrateful.”
- Lu Yuzhen stretched his arm, holding her smooth shoulder and pinned her against the wall. He then placed a hand on the side of her body, blocking her way. “How dare you talk to me as if I’m really your gigolo. You sure have gotten more brazen, huh?”
- In an instant, Xia Micheng was stuck between his arms. This man could easily pin her down without saying much like a domineering CEO, so how would she even dare to regard him as her gigolo?
- Xia Micheng’s voice softened when she said, “I didn’t.”
- “You’re still denying it? What do you mean you did me a favor? Mrs. Lu, are you aware that it’s your responsibility to chase away the women that are trying to take advantage of your husband?”
- “…”
- She could find no retort.
- Xia Micheng inexplicably felt like what he said made sense. “But, how will I know whether you’re interested in her? In fact, Xia Erxiang might have been the one to have married you. I was just a substitute for her.”
- Lu Yuzhen raised his sleek brows and moved nearer to her. “Are you still denying that you’re being jealous?”
- “I’m not…”
- “I heard that girls need to be coaxed when they’re jealous. Do you want me to do that to you?”
- “Hmm?”
- Lu Yuzhen lowered his head, and gently kissed her red lips through the veil.
- Xia Micheng’s long eyelashes fluttered. How can he...
- Lu Yuzhen gulped, with his Adam’s apple moving up and down, and asked her in a deep voice, “Are you still jealous?”
- Xia Micheng swiftly shook her head in terror.
- Lu Yuzhen then chuckled. “Okay, I get it, my jealous lover.”
- Only then Xia Micheng realized that she had fallen for his trick. Her expression changed as she comprehended that she had implicitly admitted that she was jealous. She had never lost to a verbal argument, yet he had managed to completely outwit her.
- Xia Micheng bit her lips gently, and lowered her body to exit from underneath his armpit before running away.
- Lu Yuzhen kept his hands into his pockets and followed after her with his lips curved upward in a grin.
