Chapter 275 You''re So Stupid


    "J-Jacob!?" Jennifer gasped. She felt her spirit rise up as she remained in Jacob''s arms. She tried to


    hide her happiness and gave a doubtful look, "Won''t Miss Emily get jealous?"


    Jacob paused then shrugged, "She trusts me."


    Emily nodded, "Yeah. It''s no big deal. Let''s go." She tried to keep her jealousy in check as she gave a


    concerned smile, "You''re injured so it''s best if Jacob carries you to the car."


    Jacob felt something was off with Emily and quickened his steps so he could put Jennifer down quickly.


    He only nned to take Emily to the hospital for her regr check-ups. Bringing Jennifer along wasn''t


    part of his n at all!


    Besides, Jacob only treated her as his sibling. There was no way for them to flirt with each other!


    Jacob had forgotten that women had an tendency to say "yes" when it meant the opposite. That was


    what Emily felt right now, but she decided not to show her true feelings.


    Once they had arrived at the hospital, Jennifer expected Jacob would carry her again but he didn''t.


    Jacob asked the nurse to put her on a wheelchair. She felt a pang of disappointment as she clicked her


    tongue.


    Jacob didn''t care much about Jennifer as he only wanted to take Emily to do her regr check-ups. He


    finally felt relieved when he knew that Emily''s physical condition was in good shape.


    However, he noticed that Emily didn''t utter a single word to him the whole time.


    Surely there was something wrong!


    "What''s the problem? Are you feeling ufortable?" he asked. He looked at Emily, trying to think of a


    topic. He tried to talk to her about the weather, the news, anything she might be interested with.


    Emily simply shook her head, "No. Nothing is bothering me."


    Then he asked, "Is something disturbing you?"


    "No," Emily answered coldly.


    "You''re lying," Jacob concluded, giving her nose a boop. As he was about to open his mouth to exin,


    Jennifer entered on a wheelchair being pushed by a nurse.


    "Are you done?" asked Jennifer.


    Emily raised her head and gave a sweet smile despite how sad she was inside, "Yes. How is your


    ankle?"


    Since Jennifer was pretending to act innocent in front of her face, Emily decided to go along with her


    game and see who would fail first.


    Jacob was speechless when Emily smiled. Seeing how Emily''s mood changed quickly, he frowned.


    "It was nothing serious. The doctor said that I might not be able to walk for a while though," answered


    Jennifer. Then she looked at Jacob, "Jacob, I might ask you to drive me hometer."


    Jennifer went to the Gu Mansion to meet Emily but she actually was residing at a vi at the western


    side of the city.


    Jennifer was injured so she asked Jacob to send her back. It seemed perfectly reasonable.


    "I have other things to do. I''ll ask the driver to send you back," said Jacob. He didn''t heed her request.


    "If your driver sends me home, what about you? Is it a good idea?" asked Jennifer worryingly.


    Not waiting for Jacob''s reply, Emily answered first, putting a hand on Jacob''s chest, "It''s okay. We''ll just


    stroll around for a bit."


    Jennifer''s smile faded slowly, "Oh. That''s very kind of you. Thank you very much."


    "You''re wee," Emily answered, still smiling.


    Jennifer was reluctant to leave but there was no use on pressing it further.


    Once Jennifer had left, Jacob moved closer to Emily and stuck out his lower lip like a child, "You were


    acting so cold to me!"


    "I wasn''t!" Emily refused to admit that.


    "Yes, you were," Jacob asserted. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist, "Look who''s jealous!"


    An amused smile appeared on his lips.


    "No, I wasn''t!" Emily yelled, feeling her blush creeping on her cheeks.


    Jacob knew very well that Emily would talk loudly if she was denying something. He cooed, "There''s


    nothing between me and Jennifer. I only see her as a sister."


    Emily turned around at him and pinched both of his cheeks, "Jacob Gu! You are totally a big idiot!"


    Jacob chuckled as he tried to remove her hands from his cheeks. "Stop! Ouch! Okay! Okay! I know I''m


    stupid, okay?" Now it was his turn to hold her cheek then gave her kiss.


    Everything could be settled by a kiss. If one kiss failed, then try two.


    Emily felt her anger melt away when they broke the kiss But she still pouted, "You are not allowed to


    have another woman in your arms!"


    Jacob smiled lightly and joked, "Aww... look at you. Being jealous!"


    Flustered, Emily lightly punched his stomach.


    "Ouch!" Jacobughed as he clutched his stomach. "Okay, okay. You''re the only woman who''ll be in my


    arms!" Jacob cuddled her up and said affectionately, "If you are jealous, why didn''t you refuse?"


    That was true. If Emily showed a hint of anger, Jacob wouldn''t touch a single strand of Jennifer''s hair.


    Emily answered haughtily, "If I showed my jealousy, then people wouldugh at me for being mean. We


    might end up being the next meme if that''s the case!"


    If she vented out right on the spot, Jacob would also get embarrassed too. Compared to Jennifer, Emily


    didn''t really like pretending in front of someone''s face.


    However, Jacob wasn''t aware and then exploded in a fit ofughter.


    "Sorry, I couldn''t help myself butugh! Oh man. I like it when you feel jealous, Emily." Jacob received


    another light punch at the stomach as heughed. He decided to carry Emily bridal-style again.


    Then she hugged Jacob''s neck and asked, "Where are we going now?"


    "You said that we are going to take a stroll around here, right?" said Jacob.


    "Uhm...well," Emily didn''t actually n to take a stroll. She was just finding an excuse to spend time


    with Jacob away from Jennifer. "Hey, put me down. I can walk by myself."


    "As you wish, princess," Jacob shrugged. He let go of his one hand causing Emily to slip down without


    her noticing. Thetter let out a small squeak and hugged him tightly. "Jacob, you meanie!"


    Then Jacob caught her firmly on time. He gave a smirk, obviously making fun of her. "Look who''s


    hugging me now."


    "Ugh," Emily was speechless and stuck her tongue out like a child. She got so annoyed yet happy at


    the same time that she gave his shoulder a light bite.


    "Okay, okay, I''m sorry! Just stay in my arms, please?" Jacob chuckled.


    He didn''t hail for a taxi. He just carried Emily and walked out of the hospital, catching a lot of attention


    from other people.


    Some people stared at them in awe and confusion. Some of them even took a photo of them using


    their smartphones!


    Jacob shed a smile at the people taking their photos. "Hey, mind uploading thatter?" he called out


    with a smile.


    Emily felt so embarrassed that she buried her head into Jacob''s chest. How could he act so childish?


    "Embarrassed?" said Jacob. Jacob snickered then his face turned serious, "From now on, you have to


    stay away from the Gu family."


    "Eh? Why?" Emily didn''t understand what he meant. Why didn''t he want her to talk to anybody from the


    Gu family? But if Emily wanted to be with him forever, sooner orter, she had to socialize with the Gu


    family.


    Jacob replied simply, "There aren''t good people in the Gu family."


    Emily looked at Jacob and asked, "Then what about you?"

    "I''m not a good person either, Emily. And more importantly, I''m not one the them," answered Jacob as


    he shook his head gently.


    Emily finally realized that the rtionship between Jacob and the Gu family was far from simple.


    She felt that the only thing she could do was not to be a burden to him.
