BXBX NOVEL Chapter 204 - 204: Despise Him For Being Too Rich?
Song Zhou’s mind was a muddled mess when he heard the woman’s sudden confession.
But in the end, he said, “I’m sorry.”
Ruan Qi broke the gender barrier and took the risk to confess to him, but he rejected her. She pushed Song Zhou away and turned to leave, her face cold. Bloody b*stard!
Song Zhou saw that the woman seemed to be crying and frowned in pain.
“Ruan Qi, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.”
Ruan Qi turned her head and glared at Song Zhou.
“I’m the crazy one. Actually, 1 already expected that you would reject me, but I went ahead and tortured myself anyway. This is my fault. Not yours.”
Song Zhou wanted to say that he was sorry for rejecting her and causing her so much pain.
But he knew that his apology would just make him look like a hypocrite and a jerk.
Ruan Qi put on a calm face and wiped her tears away. “It’s not a crime that 1 like someone. Why should 1 cry? It’s better to have clarity anyway. Don’t worry, 1 won’t pester you anymore or make trouble for you. Goodbye!”
Song Zhou clenched his fists as he watched the woman walk away. He did not have the courage to chase after her, so he could only follow her from afar.
He was afraid that she would fall into the hands of Jiang Minglang’s people, that she might be in danger.
Song Zhou left only after Ruan Qi got on a bus.
He then turned around to find Ji Yi, but to no avail. He quickly contacted the others.
“Ji Yi has already been taken away to a remote residential area. Their nest might be located there.”
Song Zhou drove around the area for more than half an hour, like he was looking for someone, before he drove back to Jiang Jingchen’s villa.
When he returned to the villa, he quickly updated Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen just stared at his phone and nodded.
He then smiled and asked Song Zhou, “Guess when they will contact me?”
“Maybe in the next hour when you are worried sick. They’ll call you then to threaten you.”
Song Zhou’s words made sense because people would agree to any condition when they were desperate.
But Jiang Jingchen shook his head.
“Not all Jiang Minglang’s people are stupid. If it were me, I would call tomorrow and say that my wife will be in danger if I sign the agreement for asset transfer.”
Song Zhou frowned. Calling tomorrow morning would indeed be more vicious.
But he was worried. “1 don’t know if Ji Yi could hold on until tomorrow. What if those people hurt Ji Yi?”
Jiang Jingchen narrowed his cold eyes and said icily, “Then, we’ll get rid of all of them!”
Jiang Jingchen looked at the time and slowly got up. “What I need to do now is to make my wife wake up late tomorrow.”
“…” Song Zhou’s lips twitched.
Jiang Jingchen should really keep those thoughts to himself. Song Zhou wanted to hear nothing about his sex life!
However, when he thought about the woman who smiled at him with tears at the corner of her eyes, he felt very sad.
Jiang Jingchen, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Song Zhou.
“Song Zhou, do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, 1 don’t.” Song Zhou was puzzled.
Jiang Jingchen tapped his lips. “If you don’t have a girlfriend, why are your lips chapped like they had been bitten?”
Song Zhou touched his lips. It seemed like there was a crack.
Miss Ruan must have accidentally bit him.
“Song Zhou, if there are flowers worthy of picking, you should pick them.
Leave the past in the past.”
Song Zhou looked at him blankly and asked, “Young Master, do you think she’s really not coming back?”
“Perhaps time will tell whether she’ll come back, but you have to respect reality and follow your heart.”
Song Zhou touched his heart. When Miss Ruan kissed him, his heart was beating so abnormally that it didn’t even feel like his.
“But 1 want to wait, wait for her to come back.”
“Right,” Jiang Jingchen mocked. He didn’t want to interfere with Song Zhou’s relationships, but he had said what he needed to say.
He went upstairs to the dance studio. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the woman rolling around on the floor holding her phone. The two puppies were also rolling around at her feet. The three of them seemed to be having fun.
Seeing that someone was walking in, Tang Beibei quickly sat up and cleared her throat.
Jiang Jingchen walked up to her and sat down casually. “What game are you guys playing that you are so happy?”
“I was teasing Xiaoan just now. He only knows how to crawl, so 1 taught him how to roll.”
“Useless little thing, you need someone to teach you how to roll?” Jiang Jingchen pressed Xiaoan to the floor and rolled him. The puppy thought Jiang Jingchen was playing with him and stuck out his tongue, mouth wide open like he was smiling.
This puppy looked quite like his wife.
Tang Beibei took his hand away. “Don’t press. It’ll hurt.”
“Tsk, you care so much about him… What about me?”
“When have I not cared about you?” Tang Beibei felt wronged.
Jiang Jingchen smiled. “If you care about me, why are you playing with them and not me?”
“I’m just taking a break from my dance practice and only played with them for a little while…”
“Then play with me for a while too.”
“Sure. What game would you like to play?”
Jiang Jingchen had been waiting for her to say this. He grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her towards him. “Let’s play the kissing game.”
“I… Mm.”
At first, his kiss was very gentle, like a quiet drizzle on a breezy day.
When he said that he wanted to play, he meant that he wouldn’t let her off and play non-stop.
How could she continue her dance practice when she couldn’t even think straight?
The next day, as expected, she woke up late.
After washing up, she looked at the time and realized that it was already ten o’clock. She quickly changed and went downstairs.
Jiang Jingchen scooped the woman up to stop her from running out the door. He then put her on the sofa and combed her hair with his fingers.
“Beibei, I’ve asked Ruan Qi to apply for leave for you. You don’t have to go to school in the morning.”
“It’s all your fault. You turned off my alarm clock.” Tang Beibei grumbled.
Jiang Jingchen chucked her under the chin. “Beibei, who asked you to be so sweet? I’m addicted after 1 had a taste.”
Tang Beibei glared at him. “What twisted logic!”
“Beibei knows best if I’m straight or twisted.”
“… Jiang Jingchen, you, you’ve changed.”
Tang Beibei was flustered. How could he say that in such a serious manner?
“Yes, I have. I’ve become lustful.”
Tang Beibei stopped arguing with him. She couldn’t win.
Jiang Jingchen then carried her to the dining table for breakfast. He patted her head as he said, “Beibei, be good and stay at home. 1 have some matters to attend to, so I’m going out for a while. Don’t go anywhere without me, okay? Do you hear me?”
“Why must I wait for you to go anywhere? I have school in the afternoon.”
“I’ll come back at noon and have lunch with you. Then I’ll send you to school. Be good.” Jiang Jingchen lowered his head and kissed her until she was out of breath. He asked again, “Will you be good?”
“Yes, I will.” Tang Beibei was dizzy from the kiss.
Lust was a dangerous thing!
“Hubby, is there something you are not telling me?”
Jiang Jingchen was stunned and sat down next to her. “Why do you say that?”
“When I was kidnapped on the mountain last time, you didn’t tell me anything and I didn’t ask. But you followed me around the whole day yesterday, and I keep feeling that something is about to happen.”
“I won’t force you to tell me what you don’t want to tell me. 1 just hope that you are well. Don’t take unnecessary risks.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her and chuckled. “We’re husband and wife. You can ask me if you have any questions. I’ll definitely tell you, Beibei.”
Tang Beibei pursed her lips. “You’re a man and you have your own things to do. I might not understand even if you tell me. Hubby, 1 choose to trust you. Just don’t lie to me in the future.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her as he calculated the number of lies he had told her.
Sigh, an uncontrollable feeling of guilt surged in his heart.
“I have to go now.” Jiang Jingchen didn’t dare to look at her directly as he got up and left with Song Zhou.
After they got into the car, Song Zhou glanced at the backseat through the rearview mirror and saw that Jiang Jingchen was in a bad mood.
“Young Master, do you have a headache?”
“Don’t let my wife know about my other identity.”
“Yes.”
Song Zhou was puzzled.
He was a business mogul who was the mastermind behind many companies. Why couldn’t he tell his wife that?
Was he afraid that his wife would despise him for being too rich?
Jiang Jingchen got out of the car when they arrived at the Jiang Corporation building..
