The day went by in a blur and it was lunch time already
” Aren’t gonna eat something?” Yixuan asked, sitting Next to Jeffrey
” I’m okay.. but since you need to eat, let’s just go together then.. ” Jeffrey stood up. Yixuan smiled before Walking out of the class with him
★
” So tell me, how are you preparing? Should we read together?” Yixuan asked, as they ate lunch
It wasn’t easy for her to make Jeffrey agree to eat with her. She had to buy him lunch and told him he couldn’t reject it or she’ll get mad.
” You can tell Violet about it.. my home is empty. Mom and dad has gone to Germany for a business trip and will be back in a month time.. We have no maids too, only my nanny and I in that boring mansion” she added, picking on her food
” Alright then, I’ll talk to Violet about it..”
” What if she choose to read with Ryan, will you still come?” She asked and Jeffrey dropped his chopsticks
” Its okay, just pretend I didn’t ask that ” she said
” You can send the address to me.. I’ll talk to Violet about it first.” Jeffrey said and she forced a smile
★★★
” Will you come over so we could read together? It’s been boring reading alone ever since you came into my life..” Ryan said sitting upright and Violet blushed heavily
” Uhmm, I….
” Exams are in three days time and that’s Monday..” he cut in
” Alright, I’ll come over then..” she said and he smiled
” I love you a lot Violet..” he said again
” You’ve been saying that for a while now.. is something bothering you?” She asked while he shook his head in denial.
He couldn’t tell her about the engagement cause he plans to do things his own way. To him, it was better to keep it from her
He drew her closer and pecked her lips
” No one is gonna replace you ” he said, making her confused.
He chuckled at her confused look before pulling her into a hug.
” Don’t think about it ” he said
” Alright, I’m hungry..” she pouted her lips and he kiss them
” Let’s order something.” he said bringing out his phone
” Why should we order something when my hands are working perfectly?” She took the phone from him as she stood up
” You wanna cook?”
” Yeah ” she replied
” You should Change into something else then ” he said
” I know right ”
” I’ll be back ”
He got into his room and got one of his shirts for her
” Here ” he gave it to her
” You should change into that since you’ll be going to work from here, you can’t have your clothes stained ” he said and she nodded, entering the bathroom
She came out seconds later
” Isn’t it too short?” She asked, with her arms spread apart but he didn’t reply. His attention was on her exposed creamy thigh
The shirt stopped just below her @zz
” Hey ” she snapped her fingers infront of his eyes and he blinked
She chuckled softly before proceeding to kitchen while he followed behind
” Shall we begin?” She asked
Her exposed thighs were driving him crazy but being the kind of guy he was, he only stare at it, wanting to touch them but he was restraining himself.
” Yeah ” he nodded and they got to work, laughing and playing at the same time
★★★
Zhang sat restlessly on the couch.. Mara had called him telling him how Ryan and his brother had thr_@tened to poison her if she doesn’t call off the engagement.
” Dad, it’s him I want.. do it anyhow you want I don’t care”.. Mara words rang in his ears
He brought out his phone and started messaging the other shareholders who were partnering with Li Xue.
He wanted them to call off their partnership since that was the only way to make Xue tame his children
★★
” Why aren’t you going with Violet as usual?” Yixuan asked, as she walked to parking lots with Jeffrey
” Ryan will drop her off ” Jeffrey replied
” Should I drop you off then? I can take that chance to see your home..”
” No, it’s fine, you don’t have to.. “Jeffrey replied
” But I insist..
” Fine then.. he said after a while and she smiled
★★
” Is this your house? ” Yixuan asked as the left the car and Jeffrey nodded
” It’s beautiful..” she said, entering the house before he could even tell her good bye.
He exhaled before walking into the house too..
” You’re h.. his mom couldn’t complete her statement when she sighted Yixuan
” Good day ma’am..” Yixuan bowed and Jenny stared at her son
” She’s my course mate ” Jeffrey said
” Oh! Is that so? I just made something, come let’s eat..” she said
” I’m okay ma’am, I just came to see where he lives. I should be on my way now….
” Not yet ” Jeffrey said, pulling her to the sitting room. She just kept staring at their interlock hands
★★
” Aren’t you going home?” Violet asked staring at Ryan.
They just got to the cafe
” I will when you’re done. I’ll just seat and wait for you..” he replied entering the shop
” You’ve been coming here often, do you plan to seduce my customers?” Mrs Zhan said immediately he entered
” Greetings ma’am..” he did a little bow, before walking to her direction
” She’s friendly with everyone”.. Violet smiled going to Mujin
” Your boyfriend?” Mujin asked and she nodded
” He’s handsome, Congrats..” he said with a smile which she returned. They got to work while Mrs Zhan sat discussing with Ryan
★★
Li Xue sat on his swivel chair, his gaze on his desktop
His phone has been making sounds for a while now and he picked it up wondering why he was suddenly having so many messages all at once
His eyes widened at the messages, the shareholders were all saying they wanna quit partnering with him
He didn’t believe it untill his phone rang. He picked up the call when he noticed it was the minister
? Your sons are thr_@tening to ki|| my daughter during the engagement and my daughter wants your son Ryan. Just make it happen or we’re all gonna stop partnering with you… Zhang Shao said and ended the call
Xue’s grip around the phone tighten and angrily, he threw it so hard against the wall that it broke into pieces.
