Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 40: Let me hug you a little longer
Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Let me hug you a little longer
"So, my cousin hired you to act as his fake fiancée?" Jiang Zhaoling asked.
They were seated on the couch drinking tea.
Qin Zhuzhu decided to tell Jiang Zhaoling about her relationship with Shentu Jing. This cutie pie seems like a nice sweet girl. She was probably testing me, Qin Zhuzhu thought.
After chatting, Jiang Zhaoling gave up making things hard for her.
"You can stay here if you want, but I won’t treat you nice!" Jiang Zhaoling said arrogantly.
"I....." She wasn’t sure what to say.
"Aren’t you here to see my cousin Jing?" Jiang Zhaoling asked her, looking askance.
"I am, but..." Qin Zhuzhu hesitated. She owed Shentu Jing but she didn’t know what to say to him. Normally, she would be able to talk or express her gratitude to people. But how come it becomes so difficult when it is him?
"You want to thank him then just thank him! It’s not like he’s hard to talk to. Oh yeah, I saw your mother went out with my uncle Wubai this morning. She was looking for you," Jiang Zhaoling said.
"My mother was here?" Qin Zhuzhu had almost forgotten about her mother. Her head was only full of that Stinky Jing.
"Look for her yourself," Jiang Zhaoling rolled her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered.
"If you dare to hurt any of the members of this family, I will never let you off," Jiang Zhaoling warned her menacingly before she got up and left. Qin Zhuzhu only smiled in response.
At the construction site.
"Boss, something terrible happened at home!" Han Juexian came running to him, sweating all over. Actually he had Ding Yu sprinkle water all over his face.
"What happened?" Shentu Jing said exhaustedly. He wasn’t interested at all.
"It’s..... It’s...." Han Juexian gasped and panted exaggeratedly. "It’s Miss Qin! I heard that she....."
Before Han Juexian could finish his sentence, Shentu Jing had made a beeline for the car and drove off at top speed.
"Did the boss leave us behind?" Ding Yu asked naïvely.
Han Juexian just realized that their boss abandoned them with no car!
"Yeah, we are," Han Juexian sighed. Perhaps they should have run after him and gotten into the car as well.
Shentu Jing rushed back to the Shentu mansion. He could only imagine the worst when it comes to little Pearl. He didn’t even wait for ah Xian to finish when he sped off like the devil’s on his tail. In his mind, Zhuzhu was hurt and sobbing like that day. It was all his fault.
He sprinted into the mansion and almost knocked the butler down. The butler was surprised! He reached for his phone to call the Master.
Qin Zhuzhu turned around when she heard footsteps. Her eyes travelled up from the pair of leather shoes in front of her to the pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that were gazing at her with something she couldn’t fathom.
Shentu Jing reached forward and enveloped in a tight hug, almost knocking the breath out of her. What was going on? She noticed he looked tired and exhausted.
"Stinky Jing....." She breathed.
"Don’t say anything. As long as you are okay," he whispered and shut his eyes.
The sunlight shone on them through the windows. There was a figure of a tall muscular man hugging a woman who was a few heads shorter than him.
"Stinky Jing, my legs are tired," she complained softly. His masculine scent was invading her senses and her cheeks felt scalding hot.
"Hmmm... Let me hug you a little longer," he said. He suddenly found the way she addressed him so calming and relaxing.
"Stinky Jing?" She called softly but there was no response.
She turned her face and her lips came in contact with his cheek. There was a light scar on that cheek, a scratch from her fingernails. His eyes were closed shut. He had fallen asleep. His whole weight pressing down on her.
Now Qin Zhuzhu was having trouble bringing the sleeping Shentu Jing over to the couch. She managed to drag him over. But he suddenly pulled her down onto the couch then he rested his head on her lap. Her eyes widened and her heart beat against her rib cages. She watched as his eyelids opened, looking up at her tenderly. Qin Zhuzhu couldn’t understand what was going on.
"Shush, don’t say anything. Let me sleep for a while. Just awhile," he put a finger to her soft lips. He was really happy to see her doing well and good.
Qin Zhuzhu hugged him and he snuggled up to her. He was like a baby clinging onto her. The next second, he fell into a deep sleep.
Han Juexian and Ding Yu arrived on an electric scooter. Han Juexian’s helmet was lopsided as he took it off and rushed into the mansion, almost bumping into the butler.
"Wait for me!" Ding Yu threw his helmet off and ran after him. Ding Yu also nearly knocked the poor butler off his feet!
What’s with everyone these days? The butler shook his head. He was going to become dizzy from all these youngsters.
Han Juexian and Ding Yu arrived to see Qin Zhuzhu hugging a sleeping Shentu Jing on the couch. She hushed them and they quickly shut their mouths.
Qin Zhuzhu would like to get up but Shentu Jing held onto her tightly in a deep sleep. She couldn’t do anything but comply.
Han Juexian and Ding Yu were beaming happily. Hey, it worked! All they had to do was mention the boss’ future wife and he would stop torturing himself with work.
Qin Zhuzhu had something to ask Han Juexian but she could only wait when Shentu Jing wasn’t around.
Shentu Dong walked into the mansion at that moment. He saw Qin Zhuzhu with Shentu Jing on the couch and smiled happily. Shentu Chu arrived with a woman by his side. The woman narrowed her eyes at Qin Zhuzhu.
