《After Being Cheating》 Chapter 1 No Silly Trying, No Billy Dying (Billionaire Love) Chapter 1 No Silly Trying, No Billy Dying (Billionaire Love) Sixteen yearster. In Fort St. University, USA. It was a private university which ran neck and neck with Harvard University, which offered nearly 1000 majors. Students were lectured by professors or top leaders in the business field. Apart from impoverished students who did well in their study, the rest of the students were mainly rich second generation kids. Including J Shao. She had failed all her exams. It was a splendid, sunny day, and it was the student''s graduation day. They were taking photos in their school uniforms. During this time, a few "wows" were hearding from the School Building. Soon, J Shao, who was putting on her school uniform, was dragged out of her dorm room by her roommate Shirley Zheng. "Shirley, wait, I haven''t put on my uniform yet." J Shao, who had a beautiful figure, was wearing a white camisole and dark blue shorts. She was dragged in a rush throughout the campus by Shirley Zheng, who had got A in every exam. This scene had drawn many people''s attention. Shirley was breathless. She spluttered her words out, "We... cannot... wait for you... to get... dressed... someone is dying." J looked at Shirley even more confused. What was going on? Three minutester... The School Building was now being surrounded by a big crowd of students in their school uniforms. A voice shouted, "J ising!" Then the crowd gave way to J Shao. Shirley took J straight to the front of the building and then pointed up. On the 15-story School Building hung a red banner which read: "J, I love you! Will you please marry me?" The banner was girdled with pink roses which also happened to be J''s favorite flowers. A man in white casual tops and pants, with yellow hair resembling the straws of a broom, was on the top of the building. He was holding in his hands arge bouquet of the same pink roses in his left hand, and a megaphone in his right. When he saw J, he began shouting: "J, I love you! Marry me!" The crowd hooted and cheered: "Say yes! Say yes!" J covered her ears. She was almost deafened by the noises that came from all around her. She took out her phone and called Bill: "No silly trying, no Billy dying! Get down at once!" Bill Han was, however, still shouting with the megaphone: "J, I''ll jump if you say no to me! Then, you will never forget me!" Hearing these words, the crowd started screaming hysterically. "J, don''t be silly. His grandfather is a general, and his father is a lieutenant general. Say yes to him, now." J, of course, knew Bill''s powerful family background. But she treated him only as a friend. "Bill, get down now! Knock it off, or I won''t talk to you for the rest of my life!" How many times had Bill Han said "I love you" to J Shao? J stretched out her left hand and started counting. It was more than 5 times. "If you don''t say yes to me, I swear I will jump!" Bill really meant it this time. Jane had turned him down for a thousand times, and if it wasn''t working this time either, then there would be no point to continue Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. living. "Go ahead, jump! You''d better kill yourself now, or else your grandfather will beat you to death with his walking stick!" J gestured himing down. Bill became more and more timid at the mentioning of his grandfather. "Just say yes and I''lle down." Bill put the megaphone away and talked to J by the phone. More and more students that were around the building took out their phones and started recording videos of the whole event. J rolled her eyes and spoke in the phone, " Bill, your grandfather will know what''s going on if he watches these videos. Are you aware that you are being silly and making a fool of yourself?" Bill Han opened his mouth and looked at J Shao. His heart was broken and shattered in a thousand pieces. "Jane, do you know for how long I''ve been in love with you?" How could she not have known that? Since he caught the very first sight of her in junior high school, Bill had fallen for her. Almost ten years had passed. "Bill, do you want me to get in trouble with my mother?" J''s mother was utterly strict with her. If she found out what was happening, she would get a thousand beatingsing for J when they met. "Your parents are having fun somewhere in the world. They have no time for you." They were the perfect couple as was well-known in all of C country. Samuel Shao had resigned out of his jobst year for E Bo, and Jerry Shao had taken over his position at thepany. And then Samuel and E left their sons and daughters at home and decided to live an idle and peaceful life in an unknown mountain somewhere. Jane almost cried when she found out that she had to take care of her 20 year-old younger little brother. How distressed she felt! J snapped at him: "Bill, this is thest time and I mean it: if you don''te down right now, we''ll be "OK, OK, Jane, I''ming down. But please take my flowers and ring, will you, please? These flowers were brought here just for you. They''re unique." Bill stepped back, and entered the elevator with the roses in his hand. Everyone now felt relieved. However, they all stayed to see what was going on next. J was a little indifferent towards the flowers. "I''ll keep the flowers, but you have to take the ring back. I don''t want to embarrass you in front of the others." Bill was now walking out of the School Building. He got on his knee and raised the flowers and ring. "Jane, marry me, please!" The crowd hooted, whistled, and whooped again at these words. His friends shouted vigorously together: "J, say yes. J, say yes!" Before she could say no, three strong men in dark sunsses paved a way straight through the crowd and immediately held Bill up in the air: "Mr. Han, your grandfather ordered us to send you to the the army at once." "No¡­Ah, ah! Jane, please say yes, I don''t want to go!" Although he was struggling, Bill ended up being lifted up in the air by the bodyguards. J shouted in her cupped hands: "Bill, take care! Bye, bye." That was the end of the farce for the day. J went back to the dorm to get dressed in her school uniform, and afterwards took photos with her ssmates. In the middle of their photo shooting, her cellphone rang again. it was Sally Si. She smiled. "Sally!" "Jane, what time is your flight? I''ve alreadynded and Sven also boarded on the ne. Only you and Bill remain." Speaking of Bill, she recalled what just happened, "I will arrive in C country tomorrow. Bill was taken to the army by his grandfather. He even did not take photos. Forget him." Sally Si was a little sorry to hear that. "All right, I''ll see you soon. Let''s hang out tomorrow evening when you arrive." "OK, see you then!" At the airport of C Country. At the VIP gate, a girl in a floppy azure shirt and denim shorts, wearing a pair of big sunsses, held a suitcase in her left hand and took Shirley with her right hand. They left the airport together. J was feeling in a good mood on seeing the bright blue sky and white clouds in her hometown.She looked at the time. Where was Sally anyway? Chapter 2 Just Go On and Challenge Me. If Not, Sit and Admire Chapter 2 Just Go On and Challenge Me. If Not, Sit and Admire At this moment, a line of ck Bentleys slowly started driving towards the airport''s gates, something that immediately drew everyone''s attention. Wow! Five luxury cars! Were they brought here to shoot a TV show? J Shao was chatting with Shirley Zheng pleasantly, not noticing the spectacle that was happening there. J didn''t pay any attention to the Bentley''s until the first Bentley stopped in front of her steadily enough for her to observe it. J felt that she knew the man who got out of the driver''s seat, but couldn''t remember where she had met him. "Miss Shao, please get in the car!" Immediately then after, several bodyguards got out of the car and, following them from behind, took the luggage from the two girls and put them into the trunk. Involved in the pompous situation, Shirley was now scared to get in the car. J now asked the man in front of her: "Who are you?" The rear window of the first Bentley was rolled down, and a handsome face showed itself from it, one which J hadn''t seen for one, two, three... Six or maybe seven years. "Sally is busy at the moment. Please get in the car." J nced at the man who didn''t look at her, saying: "No, I won''t get in your car! Please, give me back my luggage!" After hearing her refusal, Daniel Si slightly frowned. This woman was still as disobedient as he knew she was before. She had not improved at all, not even after all these years. "Throw Jane Shao into the car." "Daniel Si, how dare you!" Two bodyguards immediately came up to J, intending to hold up her and to throw her in the car. J raised her right leg and kicked one of the bodyguards to the side, as he was off-guard. The other bodyguard tried fighting J, but was also trampled to the ground by her after only two moves. She stared at the man aggressively: "Give me back my luggage. I will never get in your car!" Daniel met her eyes and nced at them with a sharp look in them. They were always particrly unfriendly to one another when they met each other. One door of the Bentley was now opened and Daniel, who was dressed in a suit and wearing expensive handmade leather shoes, got out of it. He threw J into the car with three moves. They hadn''t seen each other for six or seven years. Without a trace of the kindness that was supposed to be between two old friends, they turned against each other again. As Daniel threw her into the car, J bumped her head against the window. she got angry at once: "Daniel Si, I will use you of kidnapping!" Her brother was one of the bestwyers, only second to their father, so he should have been able to defeat Daniel with ease! "Whatever!" As Daniel closed the backseat door, the Bentleys slowly left the premises, under the amazement of all the people that had witnessed the scene. "You hate me, right? Why the fuck did you pick me up?" Her good mood was quickly spoiled by him! J now rubbed her sore forehead. And then she rolled her eyes and took out her mobile phone from her bag to look through its contact list. Hearing the rude words that came from her mouth, Daniel slightly frowned: "Do you think I''de to pick you up if it weren''t for Sally?" Sally didn''t trust others, so she asked him toe in person. "Well, you don''t want toe?" As J pressed the talk key, acent smile appeared on her lips. The phone call now was connected: "Mother*!" (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) While he heard this wording from her mouth, Daniel nced at her with another murderous look. J was at the same time awesome, and could always provoke his anger with ease! Ignoring Daniel''s murderous gaze, J spoke gently: "Mother*, I miss you! Where are you now?" (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) "Jane, I''m in d with your father*, but we wille back soon. Don''t worry!" (*TN: Here father means sworn father) "OK. Mother, I won''t worry, but..." When J changed her voice into an aggrieved tone and suddenly about toin about her experience, Daniel leaned close to her and vigorously covered her lips with his left hand. The only soft spot in all Daniel''s life was L.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. This woman had always told lies and could only talk nonsense, so he couldn''t let her tell on him! With her lower body pinned down by Daniel, J smelt his pleasant breath. His breath engulfed each and every one of her nerves, which made her briefly forget to stand against him at that moment. Daniel grabbed her mobile phone from her hands, put it against his ear and interrupted the caring questions that L was about to ask. He spoke while looking at J: "Mother, Jane is fine. I just picked her up and I''m going to send her back home soon. That''s it, bye." After he finished the call, Daniel loosened J who was a bit dazed and confused and rudely threw her mobile phone into her arms. He then tidied up his business suit, and kept at a distance from her. "Who... Who allowed you to talk on my phone?" J put aside her messy thoughts and gave the nonchnt man beside her a fierce nce. "It''s my mother!" "Well, you are indeed right, but just because she''s your mother doesn''t give you the right to take my phone!" In the face of this unreasonable girl, who was bothered about trifling things, Daniel didn''t respond to her and instead leaned back in the seat, with his eyes closed. While knowing that he deliberately ignored her, J was very angry. He again ignored her in this way! He was the same as he always had been years ago. Darn it! She drew out a tissue from the tissue box in the car to scrub her cell phone excessively, as if it were infected with something foul. Having squinted at this, Daniel didn''t say a word. There was only anger ring in his eyes. Spark Shi, the driver sitting in front of them, held back hisughter as he finally saw both of their expressions and responses in the rear view mirror. At the Royal Valley Mansion. J opened the car door and unwillingly said: "Thank you." She then mmed the car door and walked towards the door of her vi. Two bodyguards carried her luggage and followed her at once. It was not until she saw them that J realized she had left Shirley behind. She went to the Bentley again and knocked on the car''s window. However, for a while, there was no reply from inside the car. J was so angry that she failed to control her temper at that moment and kicked the brand-new Bentley with one of her feet. The car window was finally lowered. Daniel''s cold voice scared J. "The cleaning bill is five hundred thousand dors. Spark, please charge the money. " Five hundred thousand? J stared at him bewildered. She was shocked, not because that she needed five hundred thousand dors to wash the car, but because Daniel could now have the opportunity to ckmail her! Her father only spent several thousand dors to wash his luxury car for just one time. Could it really be possible that he thought she was too poor to have seen other luxury cars? Taking a deep breath, J calmly replied: "Where is Shirley?" "Miss Shao, please don''t worry. We have asked the bodyguard to send her back." Spark Shi was near her and answered her politely. Oh. She felt relieved. "Thank you." After smiling at Spark, she got her wallet out of her bag. She took out a coin and flipped it into the car. The coin fell exactly on Daniel''s seat. "Just go on and challenge me! If not, sit and admire then!" J turned round with eminence and grace, and walked away, leaving those words behind her. Daniel looked at the coin in the car, and his face finally became gloomy. Chapter 3 Lets Get Hammered Tonight Chapter 3 Let''s Get Hammered Tonight Daniel Si saw Jane Shao''s back with his sharp eyes, thinking how dare she challenged him? She was dead! He then nced at Spark, who held on his smile, kicked the front seat of the car and ordered furiously: "Drive!" Back at the vi, her first thing was to call her great grandma. "Great-grandma, I am graduated! I am back!" said J, now feeling refreshed. On the other side of the line, she heard her great-granddaughter''s voice, and Melody Han smiled from ear-to-ear, revealing even herst few teeth: "Come here. I miss you." "Okay, great-grandma, I will!" J threw her luggage into the living room and, without saying a word, she took out the presents she had brought, picked up a car key, and entered the garage. But before leaving, she cast a nce at the second floor and pouted at the thought of her parents. They hung out and seldom stayed at home. It seemed that they cared little about her! In the old house. Vi Yang was retired and was ying with her two-year-old grandson, John Shao. Beside her was Vincent Shao, who was nowforting the excited Melody. "Our Jane is the cutest ever! Her heart is filled with so much filial piety. But I haven''t seen her for over half a year. Oh, I miss her so much." Melody Han was over a hundred years old now and her health wasn''t so good anymore. "Hmm, Mother, Jane is on her way now. Don''t be so excited, and watch out for your blood pressure." Sincest year, Melody''s blood pressure had be higher and higher, and the whole family was now taking care of her and her condition and apanied her at all times. Ten minutester. The door bell rang. Vi Yang handed over her grandson to Vincent Shao, and quickly ran to open the door. "Great-grandma, grandma! Grandpa!" Jane''s pleasant voice rose in the doorway. Holding her walking cane, Melody started walking fast and then stood in the doorway of the living room "Oh, my granddaughter, I''ve missed you so much!" Vi and Jane hugged each other. "Jane, my sweet great-granddaughter." Melody threw her walking cane and headed towards J to greet her. J passed the presents she had brought to Vi and ran to Melody and hugged her: "Great- grandma, don''t hasten. I am here now!" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Jane, let me see you. Oh, you''re even taller and more beautiful now, just like your mother. How beautiful you are!" Melody stroked Jane''s hair and looked with loving eyes at her great-granddaughter, who had grown up so fast. "Great-grandma, I''m not as pretty as my mom. If I were, dad would ignore mompletely. Look at this poor little guy. He must have been abandoned again!" She pointed at her little brother who was in Vincent''s arms. John looked at this big sister in front of him with a kind of familiar but perplexed look on his face. Vincentughed: "You misunderstand your parents. We''re at home and have nothing to do, so we freely volunteer to take care of John." They couldn''t be more happy at the fact that their son and his wife had such a good rtionship going on. "Okay, okay,e here, you little thing. Let me hug you." Holding her little brother in her arms, J sighed and thought how really good was their rtionship going. Mom was now over forty, and she was still willing to give birth to another child for dad. John then kissed J on her face. He remembered that this was his sister who often video chatted with their great-grandma. "Sister." Jughed and kissed back his cute little face: "Hey, little baby, see what I got for you? A little toy." Later, Jerry Shao also returned to the house. The whole family had a good time,ughing and speaking with each other in the living room. J hadn''t returned home yet, not even before dinner. She went to the ce she agreed with Sally Si to rendezvous at. In SL Group. Since Daniel Si now took over the business of the Group, he rebuilt the Group building, which seemed to be more splendid and magnificent than before. His CEO office, which was at the 88th floor, was even more fancy and luxurious. Sally Si opened the door and entered the hundred-square-meters office. She trotted for a few steps and then overwhelmed her brother Daniel who was working: "Daniel, go out with me tonight!" Daniel put down his pen, and looked at his mischievous sister, and suddenly, he saw the shadow of another woman who proved to be also as naughty and self-willed as Sally. "Where do you want to go?" Sally smiled mysteriously, "You will know." She had to aplish a mission for her mother, and there was be a nice treat in store for her if she aplished her mission, and of course Sally worked really hard to pursue her goal to the end. "I am busy with other things." Speaking just those few words, Daniel continued working. "Daniel, you''re an utter bore! You''re only 25! Why act like an old man?" Sally paused her excitement with discontent. Daniel took a good look at her: "You are also 25 and also about to marry Jerry. Why you want to be childish?" Married? She didn''t want to get married at all. Sally smiled and said: "Come on, we need to make up our minds! We''ll meet with Jerry, Sven, Jane, Selina..." Jane? Daniel remembered the scene today and immediately put down his pen: "Go!" Sally was now counting on the number she had pulled out for tonight. She paused at hearing that. Her brother changed his mind so quickly! In the SOHO Bar. In Private Room 666, Sven Si was opening beers, red wine and liquor. J held Selina Bo''s arms and pressed her head on her shoulder: "Selina, I''ve missed you so much." Selina Bo picked up two cups of liquor lying on the table, and put one of them in J''s hand: "Come on, let''s get hammered tonight!" "Okay!" After she immediately agreed, the door was pushed open. Daniel Si and Sally Si entered. Jane gave Daniel a cold stare while the rest of them greeted one another. After singing and dancing happily, Jane looked at Sally and said, "Sally, we are about to cheers. Will you join us?" She hold a cup of 50 gram liquor and swirled it in front of Sally. Jerry took away his sister''s liquor: "Okay, you girls stop doing that. You three should just drink some red wine or a couple of beers. " Just when Jane was about to agree, Sally took back the cup from Jerry and patted on his shoulder: "Don''t get involved in our woman affairs." "Sally!" Daniel''s harsh voice rang in the room. Hearing her brother''s harsh tone, Sally knew that he was angry and the whole party was now you guys drink yours, and we drink ours. We shall not interrupt each other." Despite Jerry''s helpless stares, the three women clinked their sses full of liquor in front of them. Sally was just about to take a sip out of her cup when Daniel took it away from her mouth. Jane had already taken a sip of it when her eyes flushed red immediately and her throat started burning. "Oops, I haven''t drank in such a long time. Now I can''t handle not even one sip of it." She wanted to see Selina''s reaction, but just found her holding a cup and staring at Sally. Jane then found out that Sally''s cup was taken away by Daniel. Humph! "Mr. CEO, you are such a bummer!" After rebuking Daniel in a weird tone of voice, she took Selina''s cup and said: "You shouldn''t drink because you are only 18." Chapter 4 Dont be So Serious with This Childish Girl Chapter 4 Don''t be So Serious with This Childish Girl Selina Bo fluttered her eyelids innocently. Seeing Jane Shao''s eyes, Daniel Si walked up to her and raised his liquor ss: "Bummer? Come, let me keep youpany." Baby girl! She would get drunk with only three sses! This was now a straight provocation! Jane Shao really wanted to p him to death that moment. Did he really think that she dared not to, or what? "OK!" Jane Shao grabbed the bottle furiously and poured some more liquor into their sses. The atmosphere now became more tensed, and Jerry Shao came up at once and stopped his younger sister: "Jane, why are you angry again? Don''t get in a rage for nothing." Jane said that in a fit of pique. "It''s alright, brother, I have drunk liquor before, haven''t I?" She wanted to challenge Daniel today and see if he dared to look down upon her ever again. Failed in his persuading Jane not to fight with Daniel, finally, Jerry grabbed the ss from his sister''s hand and said: "Give it to me, I''ll drink it in your ce!" His sister sometimes was clever, but sometimes she acted like an utter fool. How long had Daniel Si been in business for? He must have drunk plenty of liquor, even more than the amount of salt that Jane had eaten. It was obvious who would be the winner, wasn''t it? Facing the bickering of a brother and sister, Daniel looked at his ss of liquor with a faint smile and kept his silence. Eventually,ter, Jerry was unable to further dissuade his headstrong sister. Jane clinked sses with Daniel and began to gulp down more and more liquor. When Jane had finished only a third of a ss, Daniel had already drunk half of his. And when Jane finished half of it, Daniel had drunk all of it. He held the ss upside down and there wasn''t a single drop left in it. Jane was still struggling with her drink. Daniel looked at her scornfully, and said: " You lost, admit it! Don''t try to pretend to be stronger than you really are!" Finally, Jane couldn''t drink any more. The ss with one third of liquor in it crashed on the table and she began to cough terribly. Jerry looked at his sister with pity, and patted her on her back: "Daniel, don''t be so serious with this childish girl." Daniel nodded slightly with peaceful face as he was about to go back to his seat. But suddenly, Jane shouted: "Daniel Si, how can you humiliate a woman like this!" While turning around, Daniel stared with doubt at this little girl, whose face had now be red. "How can youpete at drinking liquor with a schoolgirl who just graduated, while you are a CEO!" ... Everybody in the box looked at Jane and were speechless, and why didn''t she say so before the game, but acted so shamelessly like this after she had just lost it? In fact, Jane''s mind had gone nk already, and she could not stand straight now. She forgot what she had wanted to say. "Well, I am kind of sorry indeed. I would punish my mishap with one more ss of liquor." Daniel poured some more liquor into his own ss and yed with it in front of Jane''s face, then drank all of it with one single gulp. "Erm, what were you doing just now? I can''t see clearly." Jerry felt so ashamed for what Jane had just said. Obviously, J was ying tricks on Daniel, but how would Daniel react to these? Being stared at by everyone present, Daniel tittered, and filled one more ss, then again drank it in one singe gulp. "Clear now?" He said coldly to this little girl with reddened face. He must make her concede her defeat J huped, and she almost closed her eyes: "What?" ... What she really meant with this made Daniel even more mad. Did it mean that she had already been Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. drunk before he drank? His efforts of drinking two more sses had been in vain, right? Had she totally lost her consciousness? Sven Siughed aloud, and spoke at the right time: "Daniel was fooled by Jane''s act! Jane is actually a weak drinker, not able to drink not even one full ss! It wasn''t easy for her to hold on up until this moment tonight!" Gripping his ss more tightly, Daniel looked at Jane whose eyelids were now half-closed. He didn''t know why he was so serious with just a little girl. What was he so serious about with her? Jane nearly fell asleep, and Sally stared at her and whispered in Jerry''s ear. Jerry looked back at her discontentedly, and spoke in a low voice: "What are you all talking about, forget it. Jane is my sister." "I know, imagine if my brother bes your brother-inw, and Jane bes my sister-inw. That sounds so great!" They were still whispering in each other''s ear, and Sven Siughed at them: "You guys have already arranged the marriage in your childhood. When are you going to finish your wedding ceremony?" Jerry''s mind was wholly taken up now with Sally''s words, and spat out a single one: "Wait." Then he continued whispering with Sally: "No, don''t you forget that your brother has already got a girlfriend!" "That woman hasn''t got my consent, not to mention my parents. Do you think my brother alone can resist against all of us?" Jerry still did not agree to let Daniel drive his drunken sister back home. Sally was so anxious that she pulled Jerry up straightly and said, "Jerry and I have something urgent to do, we should go, you guys enjoy yourselves. And brother, don''t forget to drive Jane back home!" "I didn''t..." Jerry was about to object, but Sally covered his mouth straightly and dragged him out of the box. She got in the way to prevent Jerry from going inside the box. Then she took out the mobile phone and sent messages to Sven and others, saying that no one was allowed to drive Jane back home. But Jerry finally decided that he couldn''t let his sister get involved with Daniel who had got a girlfriend. He dragged Sally away by force and was ready to open the door of the box. However, Sally held him from the back suddenly and said, "Jerry, shall we talk about our marriage?" ... Jerry''s arms suddenly paralyzed. Although they had an arranged marriage from their childhood, they had never been so close to each other like this before. And this was the first time for him that he saw such a gentle Sally. Jerry stopped moving and Sally noticed this, and dragged him away at once and ran towards the gates of the bar. Twenty minutester, Daniel was smoking idly in Room 666, with his eyes on Jane who quickly fell asleep on the sofa. The others had gone away for this or that as an excuse, and he guessed that this must be one of Sally''s terrible ideas. Finishing one cigarette, Daniel walked over near the sofa. Jane turned over suddenly, at the point of almost falling off the sofa and Daniel bowed and caught her in time. Eventually, heid her down at the back seat of his car unwillingly. At the Royal Valley Mansion Daniel patted Jane, who was now sound asleep, but she had no reaction. He had to carry her out of the car. At first, he intended toy her at the gates of the mansion and to go away. But, considering that this woman might lodge a formalint at him and bring him even more trouble, He pressed her fingers against the door lock. ... He tried each one of her ten fingers, but not a single one matched up with the lock. He wouldn''t have doubted whether Jane belonged to this family or not, if he hadn''t already seen how her father, Samuel, spoiled her. Feeling even more annoyed, Daniel carried her back to the car and called Jerry. Chapter 5 She Was Drunk Chapter 5 She Was Drunk "Sorry! The subscriber you have dialed is unavable, please redialter..." Daniel swore silently and woke Jane up, who slept soundly: "Jane Shao, get up!" Jane opened one eye, looked at the man that was in front of her, and asked sarcastically: "Who are you?" The man, who was now furious, released her. He did not want to talk to this idiot anymore! Jane fell back down as Daniel loosened his grip on her. Startled, she held on to his arms. Off guard, Daniel was jerked forward and Crashed down on herpletely: "Ouch!" Jane, who had been hurt, caressed the painful area of her body where he had bumped. Daniel was about to get crazy, but wentpletely nk after seeing her moves. He gulped unconsciously. Jane did not know what she had done at all, but grumbled: "You hurt my breast. You should The girl''s sweet fragrance was twining all around his nose and Daniel couldn''t bear it anymore. He lowered his head and kissed her cute little red lips. So sweet! An ambiguous sentimental atmosphere rose rapidly in the car. Daniel held her slender waist unconsciously and kissed her ear and snowy-white neck. "Em. No..." This strange feeling vexed the girl. Her twittering was like an aphrodisiac and made the arms on her waist tighten even more around it. "What are you doing?" After he heard the sharp voice asking, almost screaming, Daniel came to his senses. Looking at the girl under his body, and who still had her eyes closed, Daniel was in an utter shock. He let her go and got out of the car. Daniel stood up, and Samuel finally saw who the girl in the car was. It really was Jane! If he had not seen Jane''s wedged heels, which were custom-ordered by him, Samuel would have let it pass. Even if it had happened in front of his house, he was unwilling to interfere in any way. Samuel Shao, who now saw his daughter being bullied, came nearer and was almost about to hit him. Daniel hadn''t recovered from the shock yet. E Bo held Samuel Shao''s arm immediately from striking: "Honey, calm down!" "Father*, mother*." (*TN: Here father and mother means sworn father and sworn mother) Daniel cleared up his foggy mind and greeted them politely. E looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Daniel, is Jane asleep?" Daniel looked back at the girl in the car: "She was drunk." "Drunk?" Samuel looked at Daniel with fury in his eyes and raise his voice: "Was it you who make her drunk?" Daniel remembered the scene in the bar. He kind of got her a little drunk. Then he nodded his head. But he did not want them to misunderstand him: "Jerry and Sally were there, too." Hearing that his son was also there, Samuel was relieved. In fact, he believed in Daniel. However, when he saw what was happening a few minutes ago, he felt that Jane was being bullied by Daniel. But it was not really a bad thing if they were together. "You kissed her, then you should be fully responsible for her." Daniel frowned slightly at Samuel''s words. Samuel noticed his expression, and pointed out at him: "Daniel, we think you are a good boy. Don''t let us down! Don''t let me down!" No one could ever bully his daughter, not even Daniel Si! Daniel nodded his head: "Father*, mother*, let''s discuss this matter after Jane is awake!" (*TN: Here father and mother means sworn father and sworn mother) Samuel Shao took his drunken daughter back to their vi, and E Bo called L Li immediately. "L, do you know what Daniel and Jane have done?" The elders of the two families were willing to see their kids together. "What? Tell me!" asked L excitedly. E believed that Daniel was a good enough match for her daughter: "When Samuel and I went back, we decided not to tell Jane and to surprise her. But when we arrived at the gate of our vi, we saw Daniel kissing Jane in the car." Right. Daniel kissed Jane. And Jane was drunk and asleep at that time. L banged the table with her fist in full force and praised her son to the highest heavens. Well done! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The only daughter-inw that was in her mind was Jane! "E, don''t worry about it. I''ll let Daniel be responsible for Jane!" E was waiting for these words. She did not want Daniel to take advantage of her daughter, even if Daniel was her sworn son! He had to be responsible for her at all times! "OK. When you''re back home, let''s talk together about what''s going to happen between our kids and the future." They reached an agreement and hung up the phone on each other in a happy mood. E saw that Samuel had walked in the room with wrinkled brows: "Is Jane asleep?" Samuel nodded and looked at E who seemed to be happy: "Do you remember the female boss, who used to be close to Daniel?" She heard Samuel''s words, and E remembered she did, indeed, see a bold woman holding Daniel''s arm on television. "What kind of rtionship did they have?" This seemed to be a troublesome matter for both of them. Samuel shook his head: "After Jane is awake tomorrow morning, we''ll first ask her what happened." "By the way, Jerry hasn''te home yet." E picked up the phone on the desk and called Jerry. E called him for several times in a row, but her son''s phone was powered off. "Forget it. Let''s go to sleep. Our son is all grown up now. No need to discipline him anymore." Samuel went out from the dress room with his night robe on. Jerry wasn''t like a daughter who should be taken care of. Samuel was right. They didn''t have to take care of him anymore. So E stopped calling Jerry that night. Nearly noon of the next day, on the bed of the pink room, Jane moved ufortably in the quilt. "Jane, it''s time for lunch. Won''t you get up already?" E pushed Jane''s room door open and walked in. Seeing the little figure on the bed, she could not help but smile. J was massaging her sore head. After hearing her mother''s voice, she shook her head vigorously. She seemed to be hearing E''s voice. Shouldn''t mom be with dad in some distant valley? E pulled off J''s quilt off of her. The girl on the bed, who had her eyes closed until, suddenly opened them wide awake: "Mom! It''s really you!" "Of course it''s me, my sweetheart." A mother and daughter, who hadn''t seen each other for whole months, hugged each other affectionately. However, within two seconds aferwards, J looked at E with a sparkle of excitement: "Where''s Samuel? Where''s my dad?" This ungrateful brat! E changed her face and tone immediately, now looking at her daughter: "Brush your teeth, wash your face ande and have lunch!" J knew that her mother was jealous: "Mom, look what awesome things I''ve brought you!" Jane got off the bed in a hurry, opened the leather suitcase that was near, beside the bed, and got out of it a box and gave it to E. Chapter 6 I Want Revenge Chapter 6 I Want Revenge "Is it a DQ facial mask?" There was a smile on E''s face again. It was because of her daughter, who always understood her and always knew that she loved these kind of gifts. J nodded and assured E: "This is the limited edition that I''ve asked Bill to manage and get a hold on! Mom, you see, I''m so good to you! I even didn''t buy anything for Samuel. Hee hee." J held her mom''s arm gently, having her own n in mind. Her mother was in charge of the whole financial power in their family. And so she knew that she had to tighten her beltter in life if she ever offended her mother. E loved what her daughter had brought for her and kissed her daughter''s face. Suddenly, she seemed to be thinking of something. Putting the mask aside, she pulled J to sit next to her on her big bed, which was cute and colored in pink. "Jane, what is your rtionship with Daniel now?" J felt a little puzzled as E suddenly mentioned Daniel. At the thought of the fact that he got her drunkst night, J stood from the bed and told E with all seriousness in her face: "Mom, I have nothing to do with him. He''s HIM, I''m ME. I really have no rtionship with him at all!" E was puzzled and then blurted: "But why did Daniel kiss youst night?" What?! While she was touching her red lips, J asked her mother: "Mom, what did you say just now?" Seeing that J didn''t know this, E coughed a few times: "Nothing. Since you have no rtionship to Daniel, you''d better stay away from him from now on. Now go and get washed for lunch." With this, E walked out towards her bedroom door. However, she was stopped by J''s arm: "Mom, please don''t go." "What are you doing?" J looked at her mother seriously and spoke stunned: "You just said... Last night, Daniel... Kissed me?" When thinking of it, J felt she was angry and distressed at the same time. If Daniel had did indeed kissed her, like her mother just told her, it was a true loss for her, since this was her first kiss... E nodded helplessly: "When did you meet Daniel..." However, J had now entered the bathroom and began to get washed just before E finished uttering her words. This time, she spent only five minutes getting washed, while it usually took her more than ten minutes. Samuel was holding John in his arms downstairs and was about to feed him. At this moment, a figure dressed in pink rushed down from the stairs. "Jane..." Samuel yelled at J. Could she please slow down? What if she fell down or hit against something? J unexpectedly kissed Samuel''s face: "Dad, I want revenge and I have to go now as time is Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. running short. I would like to chat with you more, but when Ie back tonight." Then she left with the car keys in her hand after kissing John''s face. "What revenge and on whom does she seeks it for? Who dared to bully my daughter?" With John in his arms, Samuel curiously asked his wife, who was busy in the kitchen, what was that all about. E wiped her hands and told him: "Perhaps she is looking for Daniel. How about you follow her to see what happens? What if they end up fighting?" Back when they were children, they would practice Taekwondo with one another each time they met. E had to change more than ten Taekwondo teachers for Jane, since she never could defeat Daniel. Having thought of Daniel, who was calm, Samuel said: "This couldn''t happen, since Daniel could not be bothered to argue with her. But if he dares toy a hand on Jane, I will send people to mess up his office really bad." E busied herself in putting the food in the dishes. She then said with a chuckle: "Your daughter is 23 years old and has graduated from college. She is not a child any more, Samuel!" Samuel curled his lip in discontent. Jane was still a little girl in his heart. "By the way, where is your son? We havee back and stayed home for already one night and one morning, but he hasn''t shown up yet. What ever happened to him?" Samuel had just got in touch with the secretary in the firm. The secretary told him that Jerry wasn''t in the firmst night and he also didn''t After cing thest dish on the table, E realized that they had lost contact with her son for one night and one morning. In the VVA International Chain Hotel. The man who had disappeared for one night and one morning was on top of a woman. Ten minutester. A man who got sweaty held an exhausted woman and entered the shower room. Jerry gently kissed the woman who sat beside him in the bathing pool: "Would you please go home with meter?" It now just came to his mind that his mother had called him yesterday afternoon and had asked if he woulde back home at night. Perhaps she was at home now, with John. The woman nodded in a daze and quickly fell into sleep in the bathing pool. Half an hourter, Jerry entered his house with Sally, who was still asleep in his arms. While looking at Sally in her son''s arms, E almost choked on thest bite of rice she ate. She immediately took a swig of water from a ss: "Jerry, what happened to Sally?" Samuel patted her on the back and said: "Slow down. There''s no need to rush!" E pushed her husband''s hand away and walked up to her son: "Sally looks fine, but why is she in a Hurry, phone Sven!" Jerry stopped E, who now ran for the telephone: "Mom, she''s just asleep." E calmed down: "OK!" Throwing a weird look at her son, she said: "You two..." Jerry carried Sally upstairs, without answering his mother. When arriving at the stairway of the second floor, Jerry said to his parents: "Mom and dad, you''d better stop going anywhere else and just wait for your son''s wedding!" E choked again as she was drinking a ss of water. She wondered if her son was going to really get married. Samuel came to pat E on the back after he put John on the child seat: "Dear, you are not a child any more, so please don''t be so careless with these matters anymore." "Samuel, Samuel, Jerry just said that he was going to get married." "Yeah, I heard it." Samuel appeared to be reacting with calm to the fresh news. After all, this was to be expected sooner orter. They had be engaged when they were children, which wasn''t a joke. It was sensible of him not to resist them. "I have asked Jerry several times to marry Sally on a favorable day before, but he always told me with indifference that he was very busy at the moment and had no time to do it anytime soon. But why does he agree on it so suddenly this time?" E was a bit confused, wondering what had happened between Jerry and Sallyst night. With his head raised, Samuel praised his son from the bottom of his heart for his good choices. E didn''t understand what had happened just now, but it was clear to Samuel that his son must have conquered Sally''s heart! If they ever had to send their daughter to Harry, it was just now perfect that Harry gave them a daughter in return. "I don''t care that much. But as for you, you just can''t wait to be the mother-inw." When thinking of his daughter, Samuel believed that it was necessary to call her to understand what had really happened to her. However, Jane had left her phone in the car as she went off in a hurry. In SL Group. The door of Daniel''s office was pushed open all of a sudden while he was discussing some business contracts with his cooperative partner. Chapter 7 You Are A Rapist Chapter 7 You Are A Rapist A furious girl was followed by Spark and two other members of the security staff who looked miserable. "Boss, we couldn''t stop her..." When saying this, Spark felt so disgraceful in front of his boss. A big man like him couldn''t stop a little girl with not even two security guards. "Daniel Si! You are a rapist, and I''ll take you on!" In order to fight Daniel with her full strength, J wore a pair of sneakers. Rapist? Em? The security staff, secretary and partner were all shocked. It was rumored that Daniel Si wasn''t so obsessed with women like his father. How did he now suddenly be a rapist? "Mr. Si, let''s call it a day for now. Go ahead, please." His cunning partner looked at the now poker- faced Daniel and gathered the papers with elegance. "OK. I apologize, Mr. Du." The two men shook their hands and said goodbye to another. Spark escorted the partner out. The security staff also left the room, with their tails tucked firmly between their legs. Soon, there were now only Daniel and J left in the huge office. J looked at the man furiously, but thetter did not intend to reply to her whatsoever but only sat back on his chair in front of his desk and continued to work as usual. "Daniel Si!" "Get out!" The man ordered with coldness in his voice, without even raising his head. Bang! Suddenly a loud bang was heard, and then Jane swung her hand with a painful look on her face: "Ouch. Daniel Si, is your desk made of iron?" ''Ouch. That hurt!'' The man was amused and discreetlyughed so that J could not see. But he still continued to ignore her. Her pain was finally relieved. J blew air on her now red and swollen palm, her eyes turning red: "Daniel Si, howe you always bully girls like this? Daniel Si, you''re a bastard. I''ll tell mother*!" (TN*: J''s sworn mother is L Li) J searched for her phone in her pockets and quickly found that she had forgotten it at home. J saw, from the corner of her eye, Daniel''s phone. She picked up his phone rapidly, but soon found out that it was locked with a password. "Password!" Tears fell down from her face. Daniel was unable to focus on work. He threw the pen on the desk, irritated: "Jane Shao, I don''t want to say it again. Get out!" J looked at the angry man in disbelief and threw his phone on the desk: "Daniel Si, it was you who took advantage of me when I was drunk. You stole my first kiss. Who are you to be so rude to me and disrespect me?" The man sneered and took a nce at J: "You spoke as if it wasn''t my first kiss either." The weeping look on the girl''s face could have made any man, except Daniel, irresistible to holding her andforting her. ''It was his first kiss as well! Daniel hadn''t kissed other girls before!'' After an inexplicable rejoicing, J patted her messy hair: "The key point is not the first kiss, OK? The key point is that you, as a boss, aren''t ashamed of taking advantage of another person in a perilous state." Unexpectedly, Daniel nodded his head and spoke: "I feel ashamed for touching you. A little dry bean sprouted then. You''re not even sexy, from any angle whatsoever. Why did I kiss you? Because it was you who took the initiative in the first ce!" The scene where J had massaged his painful spotst night ran through his mind, and the man couldn''t help but gulping. ''A little bean sprouted? She took the initiative first?'' J, who felt humiliated, walked in front of Daniel and straightened her body: "Have you seen this pretty little bean sprout before? It is impossible for a pretty little bean sprout like me to take the initiative to kiss a skunk like you!" Daniel sneered and stared at her from head to toe: "Pretty? Jane Shao, who gave you the confidence Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. to say such things? If you say you''re pretty, then it means that there aren''t pretty women in this world!" ... ''Doesn''t she look pretty?'' J touched her smooth face. For the first time in forever, J was suspicious of her looks and appearance. ''Why did Bill say every day to her that she was pretty? Bill must have been the one to have deceived her, that rotten egg!'' "I don''t care. You kissed me, and you should be now responsible for me!" J banged the desk again, but she had now learned her lesson and did it more gently. Although this m had little or almost no sound at all, Daniel still felt her anger. Daniel stood up and dragged her back to her chair on which she sat before. He propped his hands on the chair''s arms and spoke near the scared girl: "Jane Shao, who gave you the right and courage to be bossy in front of me?" Daniel was very close to her. The distance between their faces was just a few millimeters. J''s anger and courage suddenly disappeared without a trace. She said in a kind of distorted voice: "You... Daniel Si, are you fooling me?" The girl''s small pink lips attracted Daniel''s full attention, and for a while he forgot to answer J''s question. J thought that Daniel felt guilty. So she seized the time to seat herself into a morefortable position. She straightened her body and looked in his deep eyes: "Humph! I knew you would only do disagreeable things! Forget it! A great man rarely stoops to such pettiness... Hmmm." The talking lips were now shut, and J unbelievably looked at the face in front of her which was now glued to hers. He, he, he... Daniel Si! How dare he kiss her! Mom had not lied to her at all. Daniel Si was a rogue and rapist. How dare he bullied her so openly!'' She calmed down, stretched out her hand and was just about to spank Daniel. The man, who had his eyes closed, caught her wrist as if he already knew what was about to happen. She was not convinced! J stretched out her left hand, then her left leg, and then her right leg... After all these series of movements, J was still under Daniel''s hold. Just as J was about to sink into Daniel''s charm, she was suddenly lifted up in the air. Daniel carried her on his shoulder. The girl shrieked and everyone shouted, and J was thrown out of the office by Daniel. "Bang!" Daniel mmed the door of his office. J massaged her painful butt and could not regain herposure for a long time after. "Daniel Si, you are a rotten egg. Just wait and see!" She ignored the shock and surprise she had brought to everyone present in the office. J yelled at the office door, then patted the dust of her body and entered the elevator. Getting back in the car, J saw a series of missed calls from Samuel. She ignored them, but called L. "Mother*, waah..." (TN*: sworn mother) J burst into loud sobs, which scared L who was shopping at that moment. She immediately found a quiet ce nearby and asked J what had happened. "Jane, Jane, stop crying. Tell me what''s going on." Chapter 8 Arrange A Job for Jane in the SL Group Chapter 8 Arrange A Job for Jane in the SL Group J sniffled and said, "Mother*, Daniel molested mest evening and didn''t have the right at all to do what he did to me. He also threw me out of his office when I wanted to talk to him just to hurt me and make me feel ashamed of myself. I''m so embarrassed now..." She continued to cry. (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) "What!? Daniel molested you and threw you out of his office? What a horrible man he is, I must help you teach him a lesson! Please wait, and don''t panic!" When L heard that her son molested Jane, she smiled with the corners of her mouth turned upwards. But she instantly felt very upset when she heard that Daniel had thrown Jane out of his office. "Thank you. Mother. You''re the best!" "Jane, just wait for my call!" L called her son straight away after she spoke with Jane. Harry, who was with her, nced at her with a confused look in his eyes. Daniel stood in front of his office window, smoking a cigarette and looking at thepany''s gates. Although it was far, and he could''t see anything clearly, he still looked down towards the gate. When he heard the phone on his desk ringing, he instantly got a bad feeling. After he blew thest puff of smoke out from his mouth, he walked up to his office desk and answered it. It was, indeed, his mother calling. Instead of dealing with the problem in other possible ways, Jane could only justin. "Mother!" "Daniel Si!" Daniel held his phone far away from his ear. It was the first time he had heard his mother to be so angry with him. "Mother, what''s up?" When hearing her son speak in a calm tone, L was even more angry. "How could you be so despicable? You didn''t have to be this way after you ill-treated Jane in the first ce. You also even threw her out of your office. How dare you!? Can''t you keep your manner gentlemanly? Have you forgotten what I''ve taught you in all these years? Jane was just as afraid of pain as your mother. She was so hurt that she could barely speak with me when she called earlier! How could you be so ruthless? Oh, my son." (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother. Daniel''s sworn mother is E Bo) Daniel sneered when he heard his mother, thinking that Jane often practiced Taekwondo, and that being roughed up wasn''t that painful for her! She was just pretending to be pitiful, trying to make others take pity on her. "So what?" After putting out the cigarette end, Daniel sat in front of his desk and stared at the ceiling. Jane was really good at torturing people. She had just returned back home for less than two days, and in all this little time she had managed to cause so much trouble. He should never have agreed to help Sally pick up thiswless girl! Daniel had found that he was interested in calm and mature women with good tastes, and not that kind of little, childish girls like Jane, who were always troublesome! "So..." L paused for a little while and spoke in a calm and firm tone, "You must now be responsible for Jane and marry her!" Daniel could not help himself butugh out loud this time. "Mother, it is the 21th century now! Do I have to be responsible for her, and marry her, just because I kissed her once? Do you think that all men around the world are like father, who is faithful only to his wife?" Daniel had also found that sometimes Jane was very simr to his mother, especially when she was being unreasonable and caused trouble. L gnashed her teeth in anger as she heard his son''s words. She felt there was something terribly wrong with her son''s words. "What? Do you want to have a lot of wives in the future?" "It won''t happen, but I don''t like Jane at all. So please don''t expect me to marry her!" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "But why did you kiss her then?" ... When hearing L''s tough question, Daniel was silent for a moment and replied, "It was she who seduced me in the first ce!" Lughed aloud this time after hearing his answer. She knew her son very well, so she debunked his evil deeds bluntly: "Last year, how could you throw out of your room that model, who got naked and justid in your bed? Two years ago, how could you hire people to cut off the fingers of the actress who had just touched your hand? And..." "Mother, I''ve got so much work to do now. Have a good time with father, and you''d better note back anymore!" And then he ended the call. L was stunned as her son ended the call. She seemed to hear that her son had asked them not to L cried aloud. She felt wronged and curled her lips. L was approaching 50, but there weren''t any wrinkles on her face, since she paid so much attention to her care all the time. There still wasn''t any wrinkle showing on her face even if she puckered it. "What''s wrong?" Harry held his wife in his arms. "Did he do anything to make you sad?" he asked. L nodded and said, "He bullied both Jane and me!" "Come on, let''s go back home. I must teach him a lesson!" Daniel had bullied Jane since childhood, and L thought that he needed a rough spanking this time! L called Eter, and both of them firmly believed that Jane and Daniel could eventually fall in love with each other. So they came up with an idea that they asked Harry, who was thepany''s chairman, to arrange a job for Jane in the SL Group. When Jane had just graduated from the university in pastry, she was sent to the secretary department of the SL Group by her parents and sworn mother and father. J, wearing an expensive casual wear, stood at thepany''s gate and looked at her colleagues arriving and leaving. L nned to directly make her Daniel''s special assistant, but Daniel forced Jane to work at the J now slowly walked up to the front desk. In fact, she had nned to run a pastry shop near the old house after her graduation. But why? It was just because her mother had asked her to work here, by threatening her with money? Not only that, but all the people in the SL Group knew her since the day when she was thrown out of the office by Daniel himself. Several of Daniel''s secretaries had already seen her face, even if they didn''t know who she really was. "Excuse me. Which floor is the secretary department on?" J came back to earth and asked the front desk staff with a confident smile on her face. "Sorry. Would you please tell me what are you going to do there and who will you be meeting?" The front desk staff asked her politely. Here was the SL Group, thus non-staff members were not allowed to get in it. J, now embarrassed, scratched her head with a confused look on her face. "I''m the new employee of thepany, and I need to go to the secretary department to report in for duty." "OK. It is on the 21th floor. The elevator is over there." The front desk staff pointed the direction of the elevator for her. J thanked the staff and slowly walked to the elevator doors. "s! Mom, now I''m wondering whether I am your own daughter or not. Why do you send me here to be controlled by Daniel? Mom always thinks like this, forget it! But dad, why do you also believe that it is more appropriate for me to be working here? The holiday was justing. And I haven''t enjoyed it at all. Poor me!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted her. "Don''t stay here if you feel you are pitiful. That way you can also avoid being thrown out of my office." Daniel pressed the open button of the elevator next to him and calmly walked into it, ignoring the woman''s ferocious look. The elevator''s door was opened from the outside, just before it was closed. J furiously walked into it and stood straight in front of the man who was a head taller than her and also her boss. She spoke defiantly, "Daniel Si, I will stay here today. I know you don''t want me to work here, but I will stay here just to bother and annoy you!" Chapter 9 Nobody Knew Why Daniel Frowned Chapter 9 Nobody Knew Why Daniel Frowned It was the rush hour now, and some employees even covered their mouths in amazement when they saw what was happening. Who was that girl that dared to take the same elevator with the boss and even to provoke him? Oh my god! Did she want to die? The exclusive elevator was slowly closing, but opened at the veryst moment, "Get out!" Daniel pressed the open button and drove the girl away with no remorse. "Like I care!" J snorted and got off the elevator ostentatiously. All the employees that were outside the elevator were shocked. When Daniel cast a brief cold nce at them, they all flocked into another elevator. Only J was left alone. She had to wait for the next elevator. On the 21st floor. J caught an employee and asked her, "Hi! Could you please tell me where the new employee registration is?" "Over there." The employee seemed very busy. She gave her brief directions and then immediately left on her way with a pile of documents in her hands. J followed the directions and saw a manager''s office. Wearing wedged heels on her feet, J walked up to the office and knocked at the door. "Come in." In the office, a middle-aged woman who wore a business suit and frame sses took a quick nce at J, then lowered her head and continued to sort out the documents she was handling. "Good morning, manager. I''m J Shao, the new employee." New employee? She must be the person that was introduced by the chairman himself. But the chairman said that there was no need for special treatment. "Em. During the internship, Kim Fan will be responsible for you. Go and find her." "OK. Thank you." J left the office, asked another colleague and finally found Kim. Kim was in uniform. She heard that there would be a new colleague who entered the secretarial department through the back door, and it turned out to be this girl! Kim measured J up and down, from head to tow, and noticed she looked young, "How old are you?" J did not know if she should feel happy or sad, "I''m 22." "Follow me. Change into your uniform and start working." Kim took her to the staff''s dressing room and gave her a new ck uniform. J took the set of clothes and briefly hesitated. She used to wear new clothes only after she had washed them first. But this was impossible now. She decided to wear them like they were. J then walked out of the dressing room and started attracting people''s attention. The little girl had be more mature in her appearance after dressing in the ck office uniform. Several male colleagues even whispered between them that J Shao was sexy in the uniform. J pulled her tight skirt. She had never worn a tight skirt before and was not used to wearing it now. Kim showed her a seat, "It will be your desk from now on." "OK. Thank you." J was about to sit down at her desk. But Kim stopped her, "Don''t worry. Follow me to the meeting room now. Some important partners will In the meeting room, on the 22nd floor. "The partners are here. Go and serve tea with Gigi." Kim called over Gigi Du, a senior employee, and asked J to assist her. Kim left. J saw Gigi preparing six sses of green tea and one cup of sugar free coffee. "Take the tea and give them to the suppliers." Gigi took a cup of coffee herself and left. J looked at the six sses of tea on the tray, took a deep breath and held them up. She had never done this before, but she had learned Taekwondo for many years, and was not that weak to hold six sses of tea. "Hurry up!" Gigi impatiently urged J, who was behind her with the tea. J was afraid to spill out the cups and had to be extra-careful with them. "OK. Wait." Gigi gave J an angry look, pushed the door of the meeting room open and walked in. J followed her and became the focus of all the people in the room. White shirt, women''s ck suit jacket, knee-length tight skirt and snowy-white legs. What a view! Daniel took a nce at J, who was serving tea earnestly, and slightly frowned. Nobody knew why Daniel frowned. J put down the tray on the desk and was finally relieved. She shook her sore arms, held a ss of tea in the air, and put it in front of a partner. "Excuse me, have some tea please." She gently put the tea in front of everybody, just like Gigi did. J was about to serve the final ss. But the man touched her leg naturally or half unconsciously. J paused and clenched her teeth. She told herself that he didn''t really mean it. She continued to serve the tea, but the man put his hand on her leg again. J trembled with anger, and the boiling tea spilled directly on her hand. Ouch! J closed her eyes. At this moment, someone was already curious about what had just happened there. J opened her eyes, and anger seemed to ze out of them. Daniel looked at her and murmured, "Damn it!" The next second, J threw the cup of tea into the man''s face. "Ouch! My face!" The man screamed and covered his face immediately. The meeting room was in a mess. "Call the doctor." Daniel stood up and said to Spark, who was next to him, calmly. Gigi gave a tissue to the man and med J, who was now rubbing her sore hand: "J Shao, what are you doing? Do you know that Mr. Xue is one of our biggest clients?" Mr. Xue wiped his face with the tissue. His plump face now turned redpletely. He gave J a ferocious look and said, "I''m going to sue you for disfiguring!" J replied scornfully, "Fine. In addition to disfiguring, you can also sue me for malicious injury!" Daniel was now standing aside. After hearing her words, he immediately stretched out his hand and tried to stop her. But J was closer to Mr. Xue than he was. She kicked the chair behind him and gave him a shoulder throw! All the people in the meeting room were shocked. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Before J could beat Mr. Xue again, Daniel took control of her arms, and said "Jane Shao, stand there!" "Why should I stand there? This stinky man, how dare he touches me! I''m going to beat him to death today!" J stared at the man who was in pain and wailing mournfully on the ground. In her 22-years of life, she had never seen a bastard like him before. Chapter 10 She was Even More Arrogant than the CEO Chapter 10 She was Even More Arrogant than the CEO "You bitch! What nonsense are you talking about! Ouch!" Mr. Xue was helped up by some people, and he fully denied what he had just done. "Did you call me a bitch? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother is and who my father is? And my sworn father and mother?" Regardless of the pain that wasing from her injured hand, J escaped Daniel''s control and again kicked Mr. Xue''s big belly with her foot. Mr. Xue howled in pain again: "You bitch, I am not scared of any of them, even if they are bigwigs or the king! I will definitely charge you, until the moment that you are sentenced to death! Where is my ''What background could a worker, who serves tea to guests, actually have? I have been around here a lot, and you take me as a coward?'' Daniel dragged J to the corner and said: "Jane, sit still here! Dare you move one step!" The anger from his eyes made J feel even more heart-broken. She massaged her painful hand and said: "He acted indecently towards me! I must kill him!" "Calm down, let me handle it!" Daniel was capable of handling and mediating any sort of situation with calm and peace. But J''s behavior always triggered his anger. The doctor came in with a medicine box. Without noticing the scalds on J''s hand, Daniel said to the doctor: "Go and check Mr. Xue''s wounds." "Daniel, there''s no need to check that bad man!" J was massaging the back of her hand, which was totally red. Daniel turned around and gave her a quick stare: "Shut up!" J was frightened by Daniel''s angry stare, and she curled her lips and shrank in the corner. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Mr. Si, I have applied some basic treatment, but we still need to send him to the hospital." The doctor took off the mask and reported to Daniel. Mr. Xue stood up from his chair and walked towards J, "Come to me, I will teach you a lesson today! You worthless thing!" But before his hands reached J, Daniel''s arms were already in the way between them. "Mr. Xue, it''s more important to go to the hospital first and handle the wounds." Mr. Xue stared at J who was also in her rage: "No, I am waiting for mywyer. I''ve got to make this bitch pay for what she''s just done to me!" "What bitch?" J kicked his leg one more time. Mr. Xue was so angry that his face instantly flushed up, and he pointed at J without a word. Hearing of what just happened, Kim rushed to the meeting room. When she found out that the new Xue is one of our most important clients. How can you hurt our client like this? Apologize now, at once!" "Why should I apologize? He started it!" She felt humiliated in an instant, as it was out of Kim''s expectation that J would answer her back so quickly and straightforward. She took an embarrassed nce at Mr. Xue, who was now nearly fainting, and said: "J Shao, apologize now! Or you''ll be fired!" "Fine! Who cares?" J pushed Daniel away and walked outside the meeting room. "Stop there and wait for mywyer. Dare you try to escape your punishment!" At the point of gripping J''s hand back, Mr. Xue was pped hard across his face by her. Poor him! He had just been scalded and now was also pped. It was so painful that he could hardly speak anything at all. "Enough!" scolded Daniel. He lost his patience after seeing this mockery. Now everyone was quiet. "Jane... J, make an apology first." Daniel was about to call her Jane, but thought that it was not proper during working time, so he corrected his words immediately. However, on hearing how Daniel called J, Kim suspected that they might already been close acquainted to one another. There was a great chance of this being true! J got this job on some inner rtions. There wasn''t any such precedent in the SL group. This indicated that J might indeed have a strong background. J was so sad at what Daniel had said. "I won''t apologize to him and I am not afraid of any charges. You are kidding me!" "Don''t bring any trouble onto your brother!" Daniel was talking with Spark just now when things started happening, so he really didn''t see things that clear. Daniel would have believed anyone else but J, but she was so wayward that it was hard for him to judge whether it was her fault or not. So he put the interests of the whole situation above everything else, and decided to let J make any trouble afterwards, in private. "Should I suffer from injustice just for the reason of not bringing trouble to my brother? Daniel, if he is your important client, then what about me? Let alone other things, at least I am your staff member. How can you let your staff be bullied by others so easy?" J was not only very wayward but also was a very clever talker, which made suddenly Daniel speechless. Her father had always spoiled her too much, and this had resulted in her arrogance. Daniel thought that if he ever had a daughter in the future, he would definitely not spoil her like Samuel did with Jane. And his own father had also spoiled his elder sister and younger sister so much that he was eager to give them everything they ever wanted, including the stars and the moon in the sky, if it were possible. His elder sister''s character was better, but his younger sister Sally was almost as wayward as Jane was. "If this is only a misunderstanding, let''s take the time to solve it. But if someone really did something wrong here, I won''t let it go so easily!" Daniel''s sharp voice made Mr. Xue shrink in an instant. For J, it was impossible to apologize to him. It had been so benevolent of her for not charging him yet. How could she make an apology now? Ho, ho*. (*TN: a mimetic word for chuckle) "Daniel Si, I resign!" J took off her suit coat in front of the crowd and violently threw it to the ground. Then she started moving her feet and was ready to leave the meeting room. Everybody was shocked by J''s wayward behavior. Was this the right attitude a staff worker should have? She was even more arrogant than the CEO, she was... a spoiled little princess. J had gone abroad since high school, and many people didn''t recognize her anymore. At that moment, Mr. Xue''swyer, who had to be present for the meeting anyway, finally arrived. On seeing hiswyer, Mr. Xue threw a nce at J, and he seemed to now be regaining his confidence. "Mr. Ming, don''t let her go. I was disfigured by her and I must charge her!" J gave Mr. Xue a disgusting eyesight, walked towards a man, who was charmed by her, in the room, and said: "I want to borrow your mobile phone for a moment." "OK." The man still had his eyes on J''s perfect build and passed her the phone like a fool. J dialed a phone number in front of the crowd, and spoke in an arrogant tone: "Jerry Shao, someone here acted indecently towards me just now and I have to charge him at once!" Jerry Shao? Thewyer gave an uneasy nce at Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue seemed to understand his worries and spoke in a low voice: "Jerry Shao? Is this the son of Samuel Shao?" Thewyer nodded. Daniel took the phone in J''s hand and said: "Jerry, I will handle it, don''t worry about this." Jerry said something on the other side of the phone and Daniel nodded: "He woulde to no good if what J said is true." Chapter 11 Ill Let Him Rot In Jail Chapter 11 I''ll Let Him Rot In Jail Mr. Xue was now very nervous. ''Jerry Shao, J Shao... Damn it!'' he thought. He seemed to have screwed around with the wrong people! But he did it under the desk, and nobody had seen what he did. He just stubbornly refused to admit it! J was mad at Daniel and was reluctant to ept his offer. She took back her phone and said, "Jerry, I''m going to sue him! I''ll let him rot in jail!" Jerryforted his sister, "Jane, I trust you. I''ll wait for Daniel''s call." "Why do you have to wait for Daniel''s call? He wants me to leave. You say you trust me, but actually you don''t!" J was so disappointed with Jerry that she decided to call her dad instead! Before Jerry could say anything, J said, "I''ll call Samuel!" And then she hung up the phone on him. When J was dialing her father''s number, Daniel took away her phone, "Knock it off! Let me handle it!" Daniel inadvertently saw the burns on J''s hand and his eyes darkened in an instant. J bit her lower lip. ''He is the boss. Let''s just see what he''s going to do.'' J found a ce and sat down, waiting for Daniel to handle the delicate matter. Daniel immediately asked the doctor to treat J''s burned hand. There were only Daniel, Spark, Mr. Xue, Mr. Ming and J in the meeting room. Daniel sat at the head of the desk without uttering a single word, tapping it with his fingers for a long This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. time. The coldness he radiated gradually repressed the atmosphere in the meeting room, giving a chilly sensation to all those present in the room. Mr. Xue fixed his clothes from time to time, and Mr. Ming was also a little bit nervous after hearing that J was indeed Samuel Shao''s daughter. Spark sat there calm, just like Daniel did. He looked at J, who was constantly fuming with anger, and thought that she looked funny. When J was about to impatiently open her mouth, Daniel said: "Mr. Xue, we have worked together for several years. Surely you must know what I hate the most, don''t you?" Mr. Xue was deceptive, and he cleared his throat before he spoke: "Mr. Si, I have worked with you for many years. When have I ever deceived you? This little girl is lying." J was about to defend herself, but Daniel cast a warning nce at her and J closed her mouth. "Mr. Xue, which part of J''s body did you touch?" "I didn''t touch her!" "Then why did J say you touched her hand?" Before J was going to say anything in her defense, Mr. Xue said involuntarily, "Bullshit. I touched her..." And the case was entirely cleared at that moment. Daniel stoop up, walked towards Mr. Xue fast like a gust of wind, dragged him and took him in front of J. Daniel kicked Mr. Xue''s knee crease with his new leather shoes, and Mr. Xue fell and kneeled in front of J immediately. Daniel ordered him viciously, "Apologize!" J wanted to stand up, but Daniel pushed her back down to the chair. Mr. Xue looked at Daniel with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Mr. Si, you can''t do this to me. You know the Xue family..." Daniel didn''t listened to him at all. He walked behind Mr. Xue and kicked his back, and Mr. Xue was forced to give J a kowtow. "I repeat, apologize!" Daniel''s cold and severe voice frightened everyone in the meeting room. Mr. Xue was scared to death, "Sorry, Miss Shao. Please forgive me, it''s all my fault!" J went nk for a moment. She nodded her head stiffly and was not angry anymore. Mr. Xue was taken away by the security staff who were already called in by Spark. Daniel spoke something in Spark''s ear, then Spark also left the room. There were only Daniel and J left in the meeting room now. J knew Daniel didn''t like her, so she didn''t intend to humiliate herself any longer. She stood up and started to walk towards the door. "Where are you going?" asked Daniel, with azy voice behind her. J turned around and found that Daniel was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. "I''m going home." She didn''t want to see Daniel anymore, nor work for others. She decided that she wanted to study pastry. She turned her back around and was about to open the door. "Stop!" J sneered, opened the door and went out. No more than five secondster and J was pulled back to the meeting room. It happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, that even the secretaries outside the meeting room were confused. They seemed to have seen something just now, but now there was nothing there. The meeting room''s door was closed silently behind her. In the meeting room. J was pressed against the back of the door by Daniel''s body. He put one hand beside her head and the other in his pocket. "Go away!" Holding the angry little girl, Daniel pinched her chin with his right hand and raised her head to face him. "I have asked Spark to cut his hand off and put him in jail for ten years. Are you satisfied with this?" ''Satisfied?'' After hearing that Mr. Xue''s hand was about to be cut off, J froze and couldn''t move a single muscle. Although she was crazy and indeed she wanted to cut his hand at that moment, J was now a little bit afraid when she heard that this might actually happen. "No. Just put him in jail." She dared not think of the bloody scene that might happen. Daniel smiled and said nothing. ''She is just an innocent girl. Her face turned white after she heard that Mr. Xue''s hand was about to be cut off.'' "Get back to work." Even Daniel knew he had done something wrong a few moments ago, but he was not willing to apologize to her whatsoever. The subject was changed sessfully, and J pointed at the uniform behind him, "The uniform is damaged. Do you think I can still get back to work?" She did not intend to ask for trouble here! "It''s just a uniform. Does the SL Groupck in uniforms? Or, are you frightened?" He could easily achieve his goal by annoying this little girl on and on. ''A coward?'' J fell into his trap immediately. She puffed out her cheeks and pushed Daniel away, "Are you kidding! J Shao is not a coward!" Daniel''s features now softened, "Then get back to work at once, I haven''t started the game yet. Jane, are you going to run away?" J fought back, "Do I think I''m a fool? Fight with you, in your ownpany? I''m sure I will certainly lose!" With such a charming face, Daniel must have a dozen of admirers in thepany. ''Good! She is not a fool.'' "Then work hard and try to be a regr worker as soon as possible. Then my mother will invest in your shop." J blushed with embarrassment, "How do you know this?" Daniel leaned on the desk behind him, took out the the cigarette box in his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Daniel Si, did you know it is very impolite to smoke in front of ady?" Chapter 12 Dont Try to Seduce Me Chapter 12 Don''t Try to Seduce Me Daniel held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and gave her a nce: "You are a J almost spat blood out of her mouth in anger. She was discontented, and walked up to Daniel and straightened her back in front of him: "You dare doubt me?! Let me show you what kind of a woman I am!" Her next move made Daniel choke on his cigarette smoke. She started unbuttoning her shirt, and when Daniel had finished coughing, his eyes had already be bigger and wilder. Fortunately, she wore a white sun-top inside, which suddenly relieved Daniel. But when he saw her body curve again, his mind turned nk at once. Without knowing it, he started breathing faster. J looked at his face and buttoned up her shirt with satisfaction. But... ''Creak'' The meeting room was now open, and Kim froze at what she saw. Daniel drew back his sight, and coldly said: "J Shao, don''t try to seduce me. It won''t work on me! Get back to work at once!" ... Kim immediately understood what was going on. And J broke down in an instant. Daniel acted as if he did not feel J''s anger, and kept speaking coldheartedly: "I already have a girlfriend. J Shao, you should remember that at all times and keep away from me!" ... J freaked out immediately and threw a punch at him. Daniel was agile and immediately dodged that her fist missed him and her whole body fell forward. Daniel slightly moved and J eventually fell into his arms. Okay! It was now harder to exin what was going on. Seeing the smug Daniel above her, J wanted to cry but couldn''t shed any tears. Ahahah! She wanted to kill Daniel with all her heart! So, before she started to work again, a rumor had gone all over thepany that the new employee in the secretarial department, J Shao, had tried to seduce the CEO himself. Plus, Kim didn''t tell people who J really was, so J was isted in no time. She even was thest one to eat during lunch breaks, and her colleagues always left her on duty in the secretarial department. And when it was her turn to eat, she didn''t have enough time before she started work again. So she ate lunch as quickly as a Guerri War happened every single day. This went on everyday, so J was about to freak out. She was not happy about anything recently happening in her life. Fortunately, E always encouraged her when she was at home in the evening. Seeing how tired his daughter was, Samuel''s heart was in grave pain. This day, gripping on to her empty stomach with one hand, J slowly walked out of thepany. It was dark outside, and J sadly looked at the people in the square that were passing by her. She was really upset, and often thought how long could she still find the power in herself to still hang in there. And now she actually didn''t want to stay at thispany anymore. She hadn''t seen Daniel since that day. In the meeting room, it was never her turn to serve drinks to the bosses, and they always let her do some work without any chance of improvement or promotion. She always was sent out to buy coffee, pick up water or to get the mail. J had no working experience whatsoever and no one was willing to tell her what to do. So she just had to go ahead and do it. She hated this job now and would like to quit. She walked to the parking lot and picked up her car key from her bag. Her attention was caught by a couple in a ck Bentley parked next to her car. They cuddled intimately and the woman, dressed in Sapphire blue suit, sat with her back to J. The man who sat facing towards her was Daniel, who she had not seen for tens whole days, and who was now staring at her. The woman that was in his arms was maybe his so-called girlfriend. It turned out that he, indeed, did have a girlfriend. She was already depressed as she was, so was in no mood at all to greet Daniel. Climbing in the driver''s seat, she started the car and slowly drove away. Back at home, E had already made dinner and was waiting for her to return. J had tears in her eyes when she saw her parents. Samuel was the first one to notice what was wrong with his daughter. He put John on the crawling carpet and walked up to J: "What''s the matter, Jane?" After changing out of her shoes, J couldn''t help but cry. She jumped into Samuel''s arms and said: "Daddy, mommy, I missed you so much!" "Oh, dear, what''s the matter? What happened? Who gave you a hard time? Are you ill?" Samuel looked at his crying daughter and his heart broke in thousand of pieces. J shook her head and, somehow, she remembered Daniel hugging the woman in the car. When she remembered that scene, she started crying even harder. "Jane, please tell dad what''s happening. Are you upset because of the job? Don''t go tomorrow. Daddy will support your every decision." E and L''s n was good, but he couldn''t let his daughter suffer this. "What''s wrong? Jane?" E came out of the kitchen, put the dinner on the table and hurried over to her daughter. J shook her head and jumped from her father''s arms to her mother''s. "Jane, tell mom all about it. Who gave you a hard time?" E looked at her daughter with her heart broken. Her Jane was always strong and optimistic, and now it was the first time that they saw her cry so hard. When she was done crying, J was in a better mood. She was going to tell her parents how sad she was at first, but she didn''t want them to worry about her.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Nothing, daddy, mommy. Just something from work. No big deal." Samuel had indeed known it! It was a work thing! "Tomorrow you won''t go to work. I will call Harry." So he picked up his phone and started to call Harry. "Dad, no. Maybe it''s because it''s my first job, so I don''t fit in right away. Give me more time. If I really don''t want to do it anymore, I won''t go there even if you ask me to." J wanted to hold on for longer. And she thought that she was actually happy during work hours, except for the fact of being isted. Samuel couldn''t change her mind so he put down his phone. J got back to her room after dinner, and talked to Shirley over the phone. Samuel finished bathing and told E to call L and ask where she was. Just when they were back at the mansion, L and Harry received the call from E. She heard that Jane was upset because of the job. L promised to E: "Don''t worry. It iste now. Tomorrow I will go to thepany and check it. If Daniel dares to bully Jane again, I will teach him a lesson!" Hearing that, E was relieved. It was not convenient for her and Samuel to show up in the SL Group. L would be the best person for this. "Hum, okay, L. Sorry to bother you." "Never mind. It was my idea to ask Jane to work there, and I must know how she is doing in the would bully her out of herck of experience. Chapter 13 Do You Want To Be Fired Chapter 13 Do You Want To Be Fired "OK. Let''s talk about Jerry and Sally''s marriage sometimes." Speaking of Jerry and Sally''s marriage, E finally smiled. Then they hung up the phone. "Take it easy. L will go to thepany tomorrow and see how is Jane doing there." E took a nce at Samuel. ''He can rest assured now!'' Samuel nodded and said: "I feel relieved. Thank you!" At the SL Group There were a few parking space on the square, and J was toozy to park in the underground car park. She drove around the square and finally found one. When J was busy backing up her car, a red BMW parked on the parking space she wanted. J got out of the car and stopped the owner of the BWM: "Excuse me, I found this parking space first. I was just backing the car!" One of J''s virtues was that she never goaded others first. Even when she encountered this kind of situations, she always tried the fairest means before ever resorting to force. However, the girl seemed to look down on J. She gave J a cold stare and immediately left the parking space. Looking at her figure, J felt angry. She got back into her car and parked it close in front of the BMW. The BMW was now being sandwiched by a park behind and J''s Mercedes in the front. ''Let''s wait and see!'' After parking her car, J took a quick look at the BMW, snorted and entered thepany''s building with her bag in her hand. It was almost noon now, and some colleagues went out for lunch. When J was printing some documents, someone called out to her: "J Shao, the beauty Linda Yang of the Public Rtions Department is looking for you." Linda Yang? The name was quite strange to J and besides, she had never worked with the Public Rtions Department before. Why was she looking for her? J wondered who she was and walked through the Secretary Department hall. A girl wearing rose red casual clothes had her back to her. This girl in rose red clothes was the same as the one who drove the BMW this morning. The girl turned around and stared at J: "J Shao, I heard you seduced the boss. You bitch, how dare you park your car in front of mine? Do you want to be fired?" ''Seduced the boss?'' It turned out this was what the colleagues had thought of her behind her back all along. "I quit. You can fire me all you want!" said J indifferently. "You!" Linda didn''t expect she would say it this way and didn''t know what to say for a moment, "Do you think I won''t find your manager?" Linda was a recognized beauty in thepany. Many people gathered around to see the fight between her and J Shao, who recently was now actually a popr girl in thepany. "Find my manager? Go ahead." She hated being threatened! Linda stared at her furiously, "Wait and see. Now, move your car!" "I already told you this morning that I found the parking space first. You ignored it!" J spread her hands and was about to return to the Secretary Department to finish her work. "Stop! A bitch who seduced the boss is not qualified to stay in thepany!" cried Linda, looking at J''s figure. Her words now ignited J''s anger. She returned around and grabbed Linda''s clothes: "Say it again. Just wait and see how I''ll fix you!" Linda had heard that J knew Kong Fu, but she was not afraid at all of her, since there were security guards in thepany: "You are a bitch who seduced the boss!" "p!" J gave Linda a hard p. People around them were shocked: "Holy crap! How dare J beat Linda!" "It is said Linda is supported by... the boss!" "What? I also heard it. Was it because J was jealous of Linda?" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. ... All colleagues of the Secretary Department were now out and were talking about it. Linda was already in thepany for three or four years, and she had never felt so humiliated like this. She raised her hand and was about to p J back. "Stop!" A sharp voice came from behind them. Seeing the other peopleing at the scene, everyone took a deep breath. "Mr. Si, Mrs. Si!" Everyone greeted the chairman and his wife and stepped back to let them pass. The first cry hade from Harry. Now, L also opened her mouth, "Everyone stays here!" L, nearing 50, still looked very young. She was wearing a green cape with peony embroidery, a pair of white trousers and white high heels. She looked elegant and noble. Everyone was scared breathless by these two people, and only J was excited. She was about to lunge at them, but stopped all of a sudden when she realized they were in thepany. L gave her a nce of encouragement and stretched out her hands. J understood it and lunged to them cheerfully, "Mom, dad*"! (J was their sworn daughter.) Her words shocked everyone at once. ''J Shao called Harry Si and L Li dad and mom?'' After hearing that the chairman and his wife came, Kim, the manager of the Secretary Department, and even Daniel and Spark went down to the 21st floor. "Jane, we haven''t seen you for a long time. You are thinner. Is it because you are tired of work or that someone bullied you?" "Girls pursue a slender body shape." Even Harry was gentle and delicate to J. Everyone began to recall how they treated J. "Dad, mom! When did youe back? Why didn''t you call me? I would''ve picked you up at the airport." J held L''s arm and looked at them with a sweet smile on her face. All the elders had been so nice to J ever since she was a kid, including her uncle, aunt, Harry, L, Chuck, Daisy, Joseph and Lillian! "What? I told Daniel to tell you of my flight. Didn''t he do it?" The door of the elevator opened, and Daniel walked out royally. "No. I was busy." Daniel didn''t seem to feel ashamed at all and stood beside his father and mother. He greeted them respectfully, "Father, mother." Harry nodded to him, and L snorted and nned to deal with Jane''s matter first, "What were you going to do?" She questioned Linda. Although Linda was admired by so many colleagues, she had to lower her head in front of the wife of the chairman, "Mrs. Si, J Shao beat me just now! Look at my face!" Linda put down her right hand, and a clear palm shape was drawn on her snowy-white face. Chapter 14 Daniel Gets Along Pretty Well With His Girlfriend Chapter 14 Daniel Gets Along Pretty Well With His Girlfriend "Why did Jane p you?" asked L. She looked her straight in the eye. She knew that Jane was little feisty sometimes, but Jane would never hurt anyone for no reason. Eh... Linda was embarrassed; she tried to open her mouth and utter some words, but nothing seemed to being out. "Speak!" demanded Daniel. And Linda startled to blurt it out, " Because I used her that she seduced our CEO. Everyone knows the rumor." Daniel looked thoughtful, ''Could ourst meeting have caused this lot of trouble to Jane? I thought she was grumpy. But why didn''t shein about it?'' L let go of J, stepped in front Linda with an explicit sneer on her face and looked at all the people who were now lowering their heads, "Listen up: J is not only a godchild to me, she will also be my daughter-inw. If any of you bully her or backbite her again, I swear you will be kicked out of the SL Group forever." Her words created a heated discussion again between the employees in the secretary department. Was J the CEO''s fiancee? J was also dumbfounded when she heard this. When did she be Daniel''s fiancee? How couldn''t she have known that? Daniel looked at his mischievous mother and frowned. He had to talk with her at once about what was happening. Not here, but in his office. "Mother, I am not..." J tried talking, but L''s wink stopped her. Daniel closely watched J. Huh? How was it then that Jane wanted to keep a distance with him? "I don''t know the source of the rumor, but flirting is normal in a rtionship. There is no such thing as this seduction rumor! Everyone should focus instead on their own own work. If you spread this kind of rumor again, you will, I repeat, be immediately fired from the SL Group!" L showed enough respect to J in front of the others to protect her from being bullied again. At the CEO''s office on the 88th floor. J and L sat on the couch, and Harry and Daniel were talking about their business affairs. L took a brocade box out of her bag and handed it to J. "Jane, darling, won''t you try something on you? Here, have a look at these." L opened the box and took out a pair of earrings. Below the ear stud hung a shiny pink teardrop-shaped diamond. The earrings were simple-looking, but delicate and elegant, and J instantly fell in love with them. This pair of earrings was not that expensive, but L knew that they suited Jane well, and therefore she bought them for her. The surprise in Jane''s eyes betrayed her feelings. L knew that she would love them! "They are beautiful. Mother, are they really for me?" J still couldn''t take her eyes off the earrings. L now sat closer to her. J usually wore nothing on her ears, and people who knew little or nothing about her would have misunderstood that she couldn''t afford jewelry. But in fact Jane simply did not like to wear jewelry. Being like a pearl held in the palm most of the time, Jane never worried about this kind of issues. L took them out and put them on Jane''s ears one by one. "What a beauty! You are so pretty, my child! Just a simple pair of earrings can make you flush and bring color in you cheeks!" L''s praise had made J blush. "Mother, stop it! I feel embarrassed now. Thank you very much, I love your present!" They two hugged each other tight. Daniel somehow got close to them, "Jane, are you sheepish? I thought your skin was thick enough to be bulletproof." J was in a good mood. On hearing this, she suddenly let go of L and stared at Daniel furiously. These words were mean, and L recognized his true intentions. And it urred to J that her sworn parents were still present in the room. She suddenly switched to another emotional mode, and pretended to feel wronged instead of angry, "Daniel, you are hurting me, you make me feel so pitiful..." And J started sobbing. "Daniel, How dare you bully her like that in front of us. You have no shame, and today I will teach you a lesson to remember!" L stood up fiercely from the couch and pped Daniel on his back. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Daniel, a 25 year-old CEO of the transnational SL Group, was pped in his office by his mother because of a woman... And the woman tittered, totally ignoring his fierce res. Harry stopped his wife, " All right, stop it. Someone will see you if theye in." L stopped and gave her son a judgmental stare. "Daniel, take some time off work in two days. We are going to discuss the engagement between Jane and you with your sworn parents." Before Daniel had a chance to refuse, J shot straight off from the couch and held L''s arm in a hurry, "Mother, I could never get along with Daniel. Besides, he already has a girlfriend. Please, drop the engagement!" "No! He is responsible for you!" L knew something about her son. J quickly smiled grovelingly, "Mother, calm down, this is all a misunderstanding. Daniel gets along well with his girlfriend, and it would be wrong to rip them apart. We''d better... "I do not have girlfriend!" spoke Daniel. That woman was not his girlfriend after all. J bit back her unspoken words. She closed her eyes, angry and speechless. Why was Daniel such a drag on her? L was delighted. She held Jane by her hand, and held Daniel''s too, and put them together. Daniel wanted to draw his hand back, and J struggled even harder to do the same thing. ''Humph? She hates me so much?'' There must have been something wrong with Daniel, because he grasped J''s hand even more tightly instead. So that J would now never get rid of him... L shared a meaningful look for her son. She knew what was going on here. "Daniel, you have hugged her. Aren''t you responsible for her now?" J looked at Daniel who had an unbelievably grim face. His slender fingers were holding her hand tighter and tighter. The warmthing from his palm made her blush. "I not only hug you, but also kiss you. It seems that I have to marry you." Daniel sounded indifferent, and J could not tell his mood or what he was really feeling. ... L chuckled, let go of them, and stepped back to her husband. Daniel nodded to her, meaning that the two might be a promising couple after all. Girls were girls, and just a little bit of banter could easily turn their face red in an instant. It was fun for Daniel to tease her. Chapter 15 You Take The Engagement As A Trifling Matter Chapter 15 You Take The Engagement As A Trifling Matter J wanted to pull her hand out of Daniel''s, but he gripped it even tighter and warned her: "I advise you to heed me. If you still resist me, I''ll throw you out immediately!" How dare he be so rough to her! When she heard what he was capable of spitting out of his mouth, J ground her teeth and tried to raise her right leg to kick him, but Daniel was faster and pressed it back with his own. J was not convinced and now tried to raise her left leg! But this time, Daniel stepped on her foot Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. from the start. "Ouch! That hurt!" ''The Bastard! Doesn''t he know that men should be gentle to women?'' J raised their hands and bit him. Daniel looked at J furiously. He didn''t feel the pain, but felt her soft red lips... Daniel kept his mouth shut and J was embarrassed and loosened her teeth. Seeing the deep teeth prints etched on his hand, J was pleased. She stuck her tongue out and said: "Hahaha! If you get scars on your hand, no one will ever want to marry you!" Daniel looked at her and sneered. That was absurd. Even if he had scars on his face, he would still have a ton of admirers. "Mother, I agree with what you said." Daniel eventually let go of J''s hand. See how he fought her back! L felt more happy and relieved at Daniel''s words. "Great! I''ll post the news tomorrow and let everyone know about it." After hearing their words, J loosened her hand immediately and ran up to L: "Mom*, I''m not marrying him. He must have his own sinister motives! Trust me, please!" (TN*: sworn mother) Daniel wanted to be engaged to her? J wasn''t that stupid to believe that Daniel was free willing to engage her. "Don''t worry, Jane. Daniel is a good boy. If he dares to bully you ever again, we will teach him a lesson he won''t ever forget!" Harry had been quiet for a long time, and hearing L''s words, he nodded his head. "Dad, mom, listen to me! I saw Daniel with a girl hugging with each otherst nigh. I..." "Are you jealous?" asked Daniel, who was nowfortably sitting on the couch. ... J didn''t know why Daniel acted so shameless. She suddenly had an idea, and said, "Mom, I agree with what you said." ''Daniel Si, wait and see!'' With both of the children agreeing to the engagement, L hugged her husband tight: "Honey, let''s hurry up! Let''s discuss the engagement of the two children together with E." Harry held his wife and they both soon left. "Dad, mom, goodbye!" J escorted the two elders out with a smile, and L looked at her son and shook her head: ''Jane is such a cute and well-behaved girl!'' "Bang!" J mmed the door. She ran towards Daniel and yelled at him: "Daniel Si, are you out of your mind? You hate me and I hate you. Why did you agree with mom and dad!" Daniel picked up a box of cigarette on the desk, took out a cigarette and calmly lit it. "Jane Shao, you assess yourself too highly. Yes, indeed, I agreed to engage you, but we will not get married in the end!" "So, you take the engagement as a trifling matter?" Daniel, wrapped in his thoughts, looked at her and said nothing. J had to hold her fist clenched tight so that she wouldn''t have to punch him in his face. "Daniel Si, since you dared to be engaged me, just wait and see how I''ll cheat on you!" threatened Jane. She would let him beughed at by everyone! ''Cheat on him?'' These words were unfamiliar to Daniel. Daniel slowly blew out the smoke out of his mouth and carefully stood up. The man''s towering figure intimidated J immediately. "You wouldn''t dare cheat on me! Jane Shao, you''ll see how I''ll teach you a lesson!" He blew a puff of smoke in her face, and J couldn''t help but cough and be irritated. After coughing for a long time, J pointed at Daniel''s nose and said: "Daniel Si, don''t be so proud. Wait and see! See how I''ll have you fixed!" Then J walked out of the office and mmed the door furiously. Even the window sses in the office trembled a bit because of the bang. Daniel flicked some ash into the ashtray and asked Spark to watch out for J. He wanted to know every move she was going to do. Before J could arrive back at the Secretary Department, she was stopped by Spark, who curiously smiled at her, and said: "Miss Shao, you have been promoted to Assistant President. Please go to the Assistant President Department where you will be conducting your new activities." Spark had no idea why the calm and indifferent boss would have nothing else to do but fight with a little girl. ''Assistant president?'' J held her fists out in the air immediately. ''Did Daniel Si began to fool me now?'' She took a deep breath, loosened her fists, smiled at Spark and spoke in a sweet tone: "I heard you were Daniel Si''s right-hand man. It is enough to have you by his side, I''m just a trainee and know nothing of value. I would just cause you a lot of trouble. So, please tell Daniel Si that I''m not going to be his assistant anytime soon!" J''s face turned serious when she uttered herst words, which made Spark be struck dumb with astonishment. J continued to walk towards the Secretary Department after saying this. But Spark stopped her again and spoke with a depressed look on his face: "J Shao, wait a second. The boss said that if I failed to bring you to the 88th floor then I''d be better off to be your assistant instead." ''Be my assistant?'' J suddenly smiled: "Great! Mr. Shi, may I hire you to be my personal assistant? Let''s leave the SL Group together. Sry is not a problem. I''ll pay you double the money Daniel already offers you. What do you think about it?" Spark was shocked at her words. He felt like... they were going to elope. Spark said: "My annual sry is 10 million. This doesn''t include the various bonuses and yearly allowances. If Miss Shao wants to indeed hire me, you should give me at least 30 million." ... "Why don''t you rob a bank!" J was now depressed. Spark pushed his spectacles frame, cleared his throat and said: "So, Miss Shao, don''t try to fight with the boss. Let''s go now to the 88th floor!" "No!" J left immediately, leaving Spark behind. He was shocked by this little girl''s attitude. In the Special Force Corps of the General Military Region of C Country. The vigorous and orderly pace of soldiers and loud slogans were staged here every day. In A Detachment. A man was doing exercises with his recruits, and his fair skin had tanned in just a few days. Chapter 16 Why Do You Always Refuse to Help Me Get Out of Trouble Chapter 16 Why Do You Always Refuse to Help Me Get Out of Trouble During breaks, Bill Han ran towards a squad, out of which its members were practicing creeping forward not that far away. He waved at the military officer who wasmanding the training and spoke to him, "Cousin Brian, After he seriously stared at Bill, who was now grinning cheekily, Brian yelled at the team members who were creeping forward: "Fall in!" More than twenty members of the team stood neatly in a row within only just one minute. "Take a five-minute break on the spot. Dismissed!" Brian walked up to Bill, who was waiting for him under a tree. He then took off his service cap and said: "Bill, do you know you''ve disturbed me during the training? Since this is your first time, you don''t have to run the ten kilometers as your punishment. But don''t forget, I''ll let you off only this time!" "OK, Brian!" Bill immediately stood up straight on his feet and gave a military-like salute to Brian. His behavior, which looked serious enough, brought a smile on Brian''s swarthy face. "Well. What''s up? Tell me, quick!" Bill anxiously took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it Brian: "Brian, would you please do me a favor?" Bill was miserable and couldn''t get in touch with anyone, because his mobile phone had been confiscated by his grandfather when he was enrolled in the troops. He could only get in touch with the people outside of the camp using the old-fashioned way. Brian took the military envelope after taking a brief nce at it. "Please help me send it to J, who works at the SL Group." Bill had no chance to use his mobile phone and also couldn''t get out of the troops under the strict surveince he was being put under. But Brian, who had just been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, could not only get out of the camp, but could also get out with the orderlies at any time, and without any supervision by anyone. "I won''t help you!" Brian handed the envelope back to Bill. ''Such an awful guy! How dare he make me his courier and even ask me to send an envelope to a woman!'' "Brian, I''m so miserable, would you please have mercy on me? If your to-be sister-inw runs off with anyone else, could you at least be able to bring her back to me?" Bill''s grandfather had confiscated Bill''s mobile phone and had kept him from contacting J, which made him very angry. Luckily, he met Shirley, who returned home during the field training the day before and learned that J worked at the SL Group. But Shirley''s phone had just run out of power, and so he still couldn''t call J at that time. Brian stared at him, and said, "Look at you. You are so desperate, and it''s just for a woman. I feel so ashamed for you!" As Bill''s cousin, Brian certainly knew that Bill had made a proposal to J in America. "Brian, would you please help me out this time? I promise I will behave well in the troops." Bill decisively made a promise just for a letter to be delivered. Brian took a discontent look at Bill and grabbed back the letter from Bill''s hand. He then put it into his pocket, and said, "Get back to your training!" "Thanks a lot!" Bill jumped with joy and kissed Brian on his cheek and hugged him. Then he went back on his way with a feeling of satisfaction drawn all over his face. Brian wiped Bill''s saliva off of his face in disgust, and bitterly went to find a tap to wash it off of his face. At the SL Group. Every staff in the Secretary Department saw that Spark, the special assistant, had been around J the whole afternoon. But why? Was it just because L, the Chairman''s wife, had asked him to serve J? In addition to that, after L went away, nearly everyone in the Secretary Department carried out various favors for J. It was now six o''clock, and J got off duty on time. She stretched on her chair while she looked with satisfaction at all the data typed by her on theputer''s screen. Spark, who sat next to her, asked: "Miss Shao, would you like some water? Would you like some water before going off duty? How about I send you some back home, after work?" Spark even wanted to give himself a thumbs up when he thought that he had showed so much consideration for J. In fact, he didn''t even care about his girlfriend the way he was caring about J right now! Spark decided to treat his girlfriend even better after hepared her to J, who was unruly, totally different from his well-behaved girlfriend. "No, thanks. Please get back to work. I''m afraid I have to take responsibility for you if I dy your work!" J began to clear up her operating post after she waved her hand in the air. Then she walked towards the staff changing room. When Spark looked at J''s back, he felt helpless. ''Oh my god! Who can tell me what else can be done when I''ll be facing this spoiled girl again?'' Spark was still waiting for her at the Secretary Department gate when J came out of the changing room. She had no choice but to walk out of thepany along with him. A man was smoking a cigarette with his back leaned against a Bentley in a square, not far away from thepany. He checked his mobile phone in his right hand, seeming to be looking for something. The ck Bentley was parked near J''s Benz, and J walked up with Spark alongside towards the parking lot and was just about to reach her car. Suddenly, a giant Samoyed came out of nowhere. "Ah!" J screamed and hid behind Daniel. But the Samoyed ran towards Daniel, making J scream again. This time, she directly threw herself into Daniel''s arms. Not only that, she grabbed Daniel''s neck and climbed up his body, fearing that the Samoyed would catch and bite her. ... J grabbed his neck with her arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. Spark almost burst intoughter when he saw the hrious scene. Daniel stood up straight and flushed with anger in his eyes. He rudely pulled J down, not letting her get even close to him. "Daniel Si! Why do you always refuse to help me get out of trouble?" J nced at Daniel confused, who now looked pale, and began to cry. As the Samoyed gradually got close to her again, J screamed and ran to one side of the road. A military off-road vehicle came up to them and stopped. When she saw that a strong man got out of the car, J immediately rushed and clung to him. She also grabbed the man''s neck and climbed up on his body as she did on Daniel''s, fearing that the Samoyed would bite her. Brian, who had just got out of the car, stood immediately rooted and surprised on the spot, and let J hold his neck and climb on him as she continually screamed. Brian stretched out his hand and touched J''s soft body and smelled her faint scent. J, with a small cheek and a pair of big eyes, was in Brian''s arms now, and was staring at him with All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. even bigger and rounder eyes than usual. She had a pretty nose bridge and a red mouth which was slightly open. Brian, who always kept himself away from women, now even seemed to be a little enamored with her, with the outline of his face turning a bit soft. He subconsciously held her slender waist with his right hand, and felt he could raise her in the air with only one, since she was very light. At the sight of this, Daniel yelled at the Samoyed, with his eyes turning ck: "Kelsen!" The Samoyed, which was just barking at J, ran back, flicking its tail. It then began toy docile and tamed, next to Daniel. The Samoyed''s owner got out of the car and walked up to Daniel. She was a beautiful woman with flowing long hair and who wore a ck leisure suit and a pair of white sneakers. J was stunned by her exquisite face and even forgot to get off of Brian when she saw her. At this time, the beautiful woman with long hair ran towards Daniel. Kate Song hugged Daniel and raised herself on tiptoes to kiss him on his cheek. Chapter 17 Now Behave Yourself And Go Back Home Chapter 17 Now Behave Yourself And Go Back Home Now Jordan Han was holding J in his arms, unable to be able to either think or move, and Kate Song was hugging Daniel tight in her arms. The situation they were in was very weird. When he saw what was happening, Spark stepped back a couple of paces and went around them silently and slipped into his Bentley. Daniel pushed Kate off of him and strode towards J, who he rudely dragged down off the man in the army uniform she was up on. "J Shao, this is thepany''s gate!" warned Daniel. "Of course I know this is thepany''s gate! Do you think I''m blind?" J thought better and decided that she shouldn''t listen to Daniel anymore. She couldn''t believe that he refused to help her not even in her worst moments of fear! When she thought of this, J felt hurt and her eyes became instantly red. This proved that Daniel did, indeed, really hate her! "Then take care of your esteem! How ridiculous of you to be climbed on a man here!" She wasn''t just hugging him, J was climbed up the man with her legs on his waist. Daniel was so furious that rage seemed to be burning in his eyes, and he wasn''t even conscious of it. Facing his ming words in such a loud voice, J suddenly burst into tears: "It''s none of your business! I just want to hug him!" Then she threw herself into Jordan''s arms again. ... Daniel''s look in his eyes was so sharp that it seemed it was just about to pierce straight through the soldier who seemed to have popped up out of nowhere. Kate watched all of this in silence, and judging from Daniel''s reaction, she knew that this little girl, who was embracing an unknown man, was not amon girl after all. J cried like a little baby, and Brian fondled her head like a big brother. He stared back at Daniel fearless. "Mr. Soldier, you are so handsome! Can you please be my boyfriend?" J thought that she had to go back and tell her sworn mother that she would not be engaged to Daniel anymore. Brian, with a smile on his tanned face, asked with a gentle voice: "What''s your name?" J choked a little, and after she wiped her tears off, she said to Brian: "My handsome boy, my name is J Shao." Brian was dumbfounded when he heard this name. ''J Shao...'' Brian''s hand stopped and remained still above her head. When Daniel noticed the strange expressions on Brian''s face, he rudely dragged J off his arms, and said "Now behave yourself and go back home!" "And why should I listen to you?" protested J. She tried to get rid of his big hands around her. From an outsider''s perspective, they looked like... a couple that quarreled in the street. "J Shao." The man called out her name softly, which made J suddenly turn back and curiously look at him. He took out something out of his pocket and handed it over to J: "Here is a letter from Bill." Bill? J was eager to know about what had happened to Bill and why he hadn''t shown up yet for days. She got rid of Daniel and took the folded envelop from Brian''s hand. "Thank you. Where is Bill now?" With a sunny smile on her face, the girl was so happy to have received this letter, but the smile implied... nothing about happiness. It was just the pleasure of catching up with an old friend. Her reaction made Brian feel unexpectedly more rxed. "Bill is now in the suburban troop unit." Looking at her face, Brian couldn''t help but adding some words: "If you want to write him back a letter, you can contact me and I could help you deliver it to him." Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "That''s good, how could I contact you?" Bill was a good friend, and of course she was going to write back to him. Brian took out his mobile phone and touched open the screen lock, "Tell me your phone number, I''ll call now so you can save my number." J then also took out her phone from her bag and they exchanged numbers. Brian gave J one more nce and then he went back to his military vehicle and left. J put both her phone and the letter into her bag. She briefly looked at Daniel and then walked up to her Mercedes-Benz and got in it. She started the car and turned it around in the parking lot. When she was about to leave, a figure suddenly jumped in front of the car and startled J. She immediately stepped on the brake. Her forehead hit hard against the steering wheel. She massaged her painful forehead and opened the window, shouting at Daniel: "Daniel Si! What the hell are you doing?" Paying no attention to her, Daniel opened the door of the front passenger seat, grabbed her bag and took out her phone. There was no unlock code on her phone. Daniel tittered for a moment and thought that she indeed was just a little girl that held no secrets! After making a few changes on her phone, he put it back in her bag, threw it into the car and violently shut the door behind him. He then walked towards his Bentley. Everything happened so fast that when J came to her senses to react, Daniel had already boarded his Bentley. That pretty girl and the Samoyed dog also followed him. Kate looked mean at the furious girl, and then closed the door. The Bentley slowly drove away. J checked her phone, but couldn''t find out what Daniel had done with it. Finally she gave up and drove away. Back home, she discovered she was all alone. Samuel and E, along with their son, had gone back to the old house. J closed the door of her room and opened the letter from Bill. It wrote: "Jane, there is a saying that one day away from a dear one is like being away for three whole seasons. We haven''t seen each other for some seasons... I miss you every day. Do you miss me?" J felt goose bumps all over her body when reading this, and she touched her skin and continued reading: "I am fine and doing well in the troops, but I am not allowed to go out. Can you wait for me? Wait for me to marry you. It won''t be long, maybe one or two years, but I will finish the training eventually, and I''ll do everything that''s needed to escape out of this prison as soon as possible and finally be with you! Oh! No, not the prison, the Troop Unit!" Then he wrote a little about his daily life in the military camp. At the end of the letter, Bill wrote: "Dear Jane, wait for me! I love you! My darling! Your Bill!" Rubbing her skin again, J felt more and more puzzled. She wondered if Bill would have been able to say something so passionate like this before he went away. However, J felt it interesting enough that he wrote a letter, with all themunication ways avable that were so convenient nowadays. So she drove out and also bought an envelope and a piece of paper from a store nearby a school. When she came back, she was surprised to see that Daniel''s car was parked in front of the The windows of the back seat were open and Daniel was smoking, with his girlfriend next to him. They were talking about something and Kateughed happily. While she was looking at them, the huge Samoyed dog poked out its head and barked out at her. J was so startled that she nearly drove the car off the road. She quickly reacted and carefully turned back the steering wheel, or else the car might have crashed in the green space. She turned to look around and was about to stare back at the Samoyed dog, but found that the man and the woman in the car were now holding together one another. ''Daniel, you yboy! You promised the engagement on one hand, but on the other hand you''re now holding another woman in your arms.'' She suspected that he promised her sworn mother the engagement just to insult her even further. At the thought of this, J stepped on the gas and quickly left the premises. When the Benz disappeared from sight, Kate let go Daniel in the car. Daniel put out the cigarette in the car''s ashtray and, with an unfriendly face, he said to Kate coldheartedly: "Kate, I haven''t promised you anything. Nevere so close to me again." Chapter 18 You Want Me to Spend the Night Here Chapter 18 You Want Me to Spend the Night Here Kate looked at Daniel, and spoke with sadness in her voice: "But Daniel, you''ve already promised me. Why did you change your mind so suddenly?" Why? Daniel didn''t have the slightest idea himself, "I haven''t promised you." Kate touched her hair and probably guessed his reason in her mind. "Daniel, today my father demanded me to get married again..." Of course, her father didn''t urge her at all to marry Daniel Si. She wasn''t even Daniel''s girlfriend, let alone his fiancee. Because he wanted to expand hispany, her father had demanded of her to marry an old man who was over 30 years older than she was. Kate had to sacrifice her own happiness for her father''s "OK, I got it." Kate bit her lip. "Daniel, if you propose to me, my father will break off my engagement to Leon Feng" said Kate. "Kate, when I agreed to be with you, I told you I admired you because you are rational and decisive. Do you think you are rational in this moment?" Daniel closed his eyes and leaned back in the driver''s seat, thinking of the angry little face of J. Daniel shook this image off from his mind. He admired the mature and decisive Kate instead of the capricious and stroppy Jane Shao. Kate felt pain seep into her heart, "Sorry, Daniel. I was too worried and got carried away." Daniel hated other people who tried to figure out his mind, and Kate didn''t know his mind at all at this moment. "Spark, send Kate back home." Daniel opened the door and got out of the car. Kate was about to stop him, but held back when she remembered of Daniel''s frigid manner. "Daniel, see you." Daniel nodded his head and strode up on the alley towards the vi. Soon after he had made his first money when he was 15, Daniel had moved here from the Eastern Manor. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. In the following years he spent most of his time abroad, and therefore seldom lived here. It was not until he took over SL Group officially that he came back here more often. His vi had never been visited by others, including Kate Song, the only exceptions being his family... When he passed a vi, his eyes swept to a lighted room up on the second floor. Daniel pulled up his sleeve and saw the shallower tooth marks on his arm. If Sally hadn''t asked him to pick up Jane when she came back home from abroad, he had already forgotten this stroppy little girl. Every time he took a shower, he would deliberately try to ignore the teeth markings on his arm. In that year he was bitten by Jane in a restaurant... Daniel looked at the new tooth prints on the back of his hand and didn''t expect to see that even after all this while she was even more hostile and wild than ever. If he remembered correctly, the lighted room on the second floor was her room. Suddenly, a scream was hearding from the room. Daniel felt rmed and ran to the vi to see what was going on up there. Daniel looked around and climbed up the sturdy tree next to the house, despite wearing a white silk shirt. He then jumped to the balcony of the second floor, but saw that the ss window was locked. He frowned and knocked hard at the window. J was ying with her mobile phone. When she heard the knock on the window, she became scared. ''What was that sound?'' "Tok tok tok." ''Who could be knocking at her window?'' She picked up a spray deodorant that was on the dresser, as there was nothing else to protect herself with. J then dialed 911 and opened the window, but she felt relieved after seeing the familiar face. J threw the spray away, locked her phone screen and angrily opened the window, "Daniel Si, are you out of your mind?" ''How dared he climb up to her window at night!'' Daniel jumped into the room and gazed around. He didn''t find anything suspicious. "Why were you screaming?" Daniel frowned and looked at J. ''She decorated her room in such a childish style!" Right! J had almost forgotten about what had happened just a few moments ago. She unlocked her phone, opened the address book, showed it to Daniel and questioned him: "Daniel Si, did you delete the soldier''s phone number?" Daniel ignored her phone and stared at J: "So you screamed like that just because I deleted his number?" "I did! You deleted his number. How can I contact him now, and send Bill letters? I hate you!" Daniel took her phone and threw it on her pink bed. "Don''t get so mad over a such little thing next time!" Then Daniel walked towards the door, and was just about to leave J''s room. "Stop. You didn''t give me back his phone number! You are not allowed to leave yet!" J followed him and pulled his shirt. Daniel looked at his wrinkled shirt, turned around and stared at J with a bad smile painted on his mug: "What? You want me to spend the night here?" ''Spend the night here?'' J''s face instantly turned red. She loosened his shirt at once and said: "As if! Get out! It''s annoying to even just see you!" Herst words irritated Daniel. He had never seen a woman who hated him with so much fervor. He grabbed her by the wrist and pressed her next to him: "Jane Shao, do you really want me to leave?" They were close to each other, and J''s face flushed even more. But she quickly straightened up her body and stared at him in the eye: "Of course. What are you going to do about it? Stay here until the Spring Festival?" After she said this, Daniel threw her on the bed and pressed on her with his body. J was shocked and stared at Daniel with an angry look in her eyes. Seeing Daniel lowering his head, J immediately knew what he was going to do next! "Daniel Si, how dare you... hmmm." No matter how hard she pped him in the face, Daniel didn''t release her. Instead, he tightened his grip and deepened the kiss. After a long time, Daniel raised his head and looked at J, who was now gasping for breath: "Jane Shao, go to work at the 88th floor tomorrow! Besides this, be honest in front of me from now on! Otherwise, I''ll teach you a lesson!" J was stunned by Daniel''s words and his expression. ''Daniel is handsome if you look at him more closely. He was even more handsome than that soldier. Why hadn''t I seen this before?'' And then J suddenly had an idea. She pushed away Daniel and pressed him down with her body. She ignored his angry face and raised his chin: "Daniel, you are in my house now. Do you believe me when I say that I''ll sue you for trespassing and rap..." She changed her words in an instant after seeing Daniel''s furious eyes, "Robbery!" Daniel dashed her hand aside, pressed her back against the bed and held her hands above her head. J had no chance to resist this rapid series of moves. Chapter 19 Can You Be Like Liu Xiahui Chapter 19 Can You Be Like Liu Xiahui "Then what about me doing something more, so that you can use me of a few more crimes?" When Daniel rested his big palms on her waist, J shivered a little and then immediately shook her head in denial. Daniel stopped and stared with cold eyes at the girl who finally now had the consciousness of fear, and said: "Come up to work in the office up at the 88th floor tomorrow. Don''t let me repeat that again!" J felt puzzled: "Why do you want to force me to work in that office? I was doing so well in Secretary Department." "Why are you talking such nonsense?" Daniel lowered his head, and without patience he kissed her sweet red lips again. J was an absolutely alluring woman; this, or she had some sort of drug on her lips that made him want to kiss her again and again. "Jane, I''ve brought you some takeout food as dinner. Come, quickly..." The door was pushed open from outside and J felt that in that moment her brain had been suddenly blown up. Daniel was shocked, too. They didn''t expect that Jerry woulde back right now, and he also forgot to stand up straight the moment he saw hime through the door. The takeout food nearly dropped out of Jerry''s hand, and Jerry looked at the man and woman on the bed with doubt, and said: "I''m so sorry, I forgot to knock at the door." The door was closed again and Jerry patted his head. He always knocked at the door before he entered his sister''s room, but why did he forget to do it this time? And that man, if he indeed saw what he saw, was Daniel. How fast their rtionship was progressing! Jerry was lost in his thoughts when the door of J''s room was opened. Daniel''s face had now returned to normal, and he said: "Jerry, I should go now." ''What? He would just leave without leaving any exnation about what had just happened?'' He stopped Daniel in his tracks, who was about to go downstairs: "Daniel, I just got hold of the information from my mother that you and Jane are going to be engaged!" That was why Jerry was not angry to see him behaving like that. But Daniel hesitated for a while and threw out some words: "It''s still uncertain." ... Jerry''s face suddenly darkened and then walked up towards Daniel closer: "What does that mean? I saw you lying on the bed with my sister, but now you''re telling me that the engagement is uncertain? What the hell are you doing?" "I have done nothing, it was Jane who tempted me toe in in the first ce!" ''If it were not for her scream, I wouldn''t havee in.'' Daniel thought. ...... J hid herself and listened on their conversations, but when she heard what Daniel had just said she suddenly rushed out and confronted him: "Daniel, what''s that nonsense you''re talking about?" "What nonsense? Didn''t you scream?" J was led into the logic of his questions and nodded. "I passed by and heard her screaming, and then I came up here." It seemed clearly that Daniel hade here because he worried about J''s safety. "OK, you indeed All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. came up here, but why did you have to kiss her?" Jerry wouldn''t forget the most important point. "She held my chin and flirted with me. Jerry, you are a rational, sane man. Can you be like Liu Xiahui?" (*TN: Liu Xiahui was an ancient man in Chinese history who was known as a very upright gentleman who always kept his morality, even if a woman sat on his legs for the whole night). ... Jerry''s and J''s logic were now guided by Daniel''s analysis, and headed towards the wrong direction. Jerry was still pondering Daniel''s words seriously, and he could do nothing but surrender the argument; it was exactly the same as the time he faced Daniel''s sister Sally. With a thin smile on his face, Daniel was pleased and looked at J, who was now dumbfounded. He then went downstairs. ''You bastard!'' J was infuriated. After all, he was the one who entered her room and had pressed her on the bed under him in the first ce. How was it that now it seemed that she was the one who initiated the whole thing? J had to ept all the mes from Jerry that a girl shouldn''t be so naughty and wild and must treasure herself and always keep in a low profile... J was so angry with all of this that she badly wanted to spit out some foulnguage to ease her nerves. After the lectures she received from Jerry, J asked "Brother, where is Daniel living?" "In Mansion No. 9, behind us." Jerry looked at his sister, who was gnawing on the chopsticks with her teeth, and asked: "What? Do you still want to go and see him?" Lost deep in thought, J nodded, but then shook her head when she remembered of Jerry''s reproaches from just now. Daniel was her target now, and he would be punished to death! Early in the next morning, and under the begrudging eyes of the others, J took the elevator up to the 88th floor. Spark had prepared a working desk in the secretary area for her, and when J sat down to work, both of them exchanged the forced smiles that naturally showed up on their face. J was well-behaved today, which puzzled Sparkpletely. And so was Daniel, and not knowing what J was up to, he smoked one cigarette after one, rxed and without a care in the world. After work, J went out after Daniel and started following him. Where Daniel was, J was. In the parking lot. "You are off duty now, why are you following me?" asked Daniel. Daniel stood beside his car, and massaged his aching temples. He had to engage in some social activities soon and definitely had no time to deal with her at the moment. J spread out her hands, and said: "I didn''t drive my car today, so I came to ask for a ride back home." Ask for a ride? "Are you sure?" Daniel nodded, opened the car''s back door and got in it. He didn''t refuse her. J was surprised. To avoid sitting next to him, J sat on the front passenger''s seat. Not a word was uttered; there wasplete silence in the car. Ten minutester, J noticed that they were not going in the correct directions of the mansion. "Mr. Shi, where are we going?" She asked in a low voice. Sparked smiled, and said, "We are going to pick up Miss Song and afterwards we''ll be going to meet some clients in a bar." "Miss Song?" she asked. "Yep." Spark nodded, but he didn''t intend to tell her who Miss Song was. Why didn''t Daniel tell her that he was not going back to the mansion? He was a despicable kind of man. "Stop here, I have to get off." Spark was ready to stop the car, but Daniel broke the silence and said: "You want to get in and out of my car at your free will? No way!" So Spark had to keep on driving. J bit her underlip a little. She thought to herself, "Daniel, you scheming bastard! Why didn''t you tell me that you had an appointment to attend to? Fine, I''ll return home by taxi, humph!" The Bentley stopped at the gates of apany, and J clearly saw thepany''s name "Changsheng Co., Ltd." Ady in a creamy-white dress stood by the roadside and walked towards the Bentley the moment she ''Oh, she is Miss Song.'' Unlike her impressions on Katest time, today Kate tied up high of her long hair, and she was in a creamy-white dress, white high-heel shoes, and with a ck handbag. She had on some light makeup and her lips were painted rosy, and this time left the impression that she was actually quite capable and experienced. Kate, of course, when she entered the car, saw J sitting in the front seat too. She asked, "Daniel, aren''t we going to meet Mr. Fu?" "Yep." "Then why is she..." "Hey there, pretty girl! I''m Daniel''s girlfriend." J had turned around and had said just that in her face. And then with a big grin on her face she looked at Kate who was trying in some way to control her facial expressions. ''She is Daniel''s girlfriend?'' Kate felt heart-broken immediately when she heard this, "Is this true?" "No" denied Daniel, clearly refusing to save any face for J. And to top it all, after Kate had just calmed down, Daniel said, "Kate, be my girlfriend." ... This sentence all of a sudden silenced everybody in the car. Chapter 20 Both His Lover and His Neighbor Chapter 20 Both His Lover and His Neighbor Kate, at first, was very surprised, but soon enough after she saw Daniel''s eyes, her heart froze in an instant. She nodded her head up and down and said, "OK. Daniel." She looked down upon the foolish young girl in front of her. J''s smile quickly froze on her face and left her expressionless. Daniel Si seemed to be taking every opportunity to dis her! The bastard! And this time, not only did he just dissed her, but he also went a step forward and humiliated her! J felt uneasy with the events that were happening around her. She didn''t even know what she really had in her mind and heart, but one fact was true enough, that she knew she was sad. If she was sad because of Daniel, then the others had to be like her as well! "Daniel, how can you do this to me? Last night on my bed you said that you loved me!" Love... Bah! Why did J say this? She wasn''t thinking straight! Before anyone had a chance to reply, J immediately started to regret her words. Of course, Kate knew from the start that J was trying to provoke her. She held Daniel''s arm more intimately and said to J: "Let bygones be bygones. I trust Daniel, and I''m sure he wouldn''t do it again." "Don''t bet on it! We''re neighbors! If you''re in a favorable position, you also have some neat advantages. For example, I can be his lover and his neighbor at the same time!" Hahaha! Spark couldn''t help butugh at what he had just heard. ''Both his lover and his neighbor! Hahaha!'' However, the bitterness that started to spread from the backseats made him to stopughing and concentrate on his driving. "You''re hoping too much. As Daniel''s girlfriend, I''ll be staying with him in every moment of the day." Shame on her! "Stop!" J suddenly had a headache after she heard Kate''s words. She untied her seat belt and asked Spark to pull over. "Those who brag about their love die sooner! Miss Song should be careful!" Spark was stunned by J''s words, and when she got out of the car she also furiously mmed the door. He didn''t understand why J had quarreled with Miss Song a minute ago and got out the car. The whole situation was an embarrassment. Kate looked at J''s figure through the windows and gnashed her teeth in anger. "Go!" Daniel ordered Spark in a calm voice. Spark and Kate didn''t have the faintest idea about what he was really thinking about. J didn''t return to the vi and decided to call Shirley, but learned that she was returning to her hometown because she was set up for a blind date... ''A blind date? Shirley was only 22 years old!'' J looked on the street at the heavy traffic and wondered why Shirley was so anxious and looking forward to it. Then J called Sally, but Sally was upset. How was she so easily seduced by Jerry''s handsome looks and how did she gave herself so willingly to him? J asked her to go out and have some drinks together and Sally agreed without hesitation. Then J called Sven, who had finished a surgery, and was now resting. When he heard J''s invitation, he promptly epted it. He had been very busy for some time and now had the chance to rx a bit before returning to his work. J called Samuel and told him she was going out shopping with Sally. Then she went straight to the bar. In the SOHO Bar. Sally and J were joyfully singing together in the bar. People united by the same affliction tend to pity on each other. Sally was upset by J''s brother, and J was upset by Sally''s. But they didn''t speak with each other of their problems. Instead, they expressed their grievances by yelling as loud as they could at the microphone. They were starting to really give Sven a hard time. He went out and called Jerry: "Jerry,e here! Sally and Jane are here too." After he hung up the phone, he saw Daniel, who was justing out of the restroom. "Hi, Daniel!" "Sven." Sven looked at Daniel curiously, "What are you doing here?" "Client meeting, " replied Daniel. He took out his cigarette box, gave Sven a cigarette and lit it. "It''s good to see you here, Sally and Jane are drinking and singing like they''re crazy. I feel like I''m going to be deaf soon if I stay any longer with them." He finally had someone toin to. Sven now regretted that he had epted Jane''s invitation. He came there to rx but became even more stressed than before. The girls were singing in the room behind Sven, and Daniel listened on them and heard Sally''s voice. Daniel frowned and said to Sven, "I''ll pick up Sally backter." He had nothing to do with the other one. "OK, I already called Jerry. He''ll also be here soon, " replied Sven. The two men were smoking outside and suddenly the door opposite to them was opened with Kate walking out of it. Seeing that Daniel was smoking outside, she greeted him and walked towards to him, "Daniel, " she said. Kate had also drunk a few sses of wine and was a bit tipsy now. She held Daniel''s arm and gently leaned on his shoulder. Sven raised one of his eyebrows to Daniel and snapped at him, "Bro, don''t I get introduced?" Kate took a deep breath and felt a little more sober. She eventually introduced herself to Sven: "Good evening. I''m Kate Song, Daniel''s girlfriend." ''Kate Song?'' Jane Shao opened the door and heard Kate''s self-introduction. "Kate Song? The well-known beauty boss in the business circle! You have a well-deserved reputation. Good evening, my name is Sven Si." Sven shook hands with Kate. Jane waved her hand. ''Whatever, I need to go to the rest room.'' All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. When Jane turned right after walking out of the room she was suddenly stopped by Sven. "Jane, where are you going?" he asked. J had two bottles of beer in her hand and had a flushed face. She looked at Sven and held her arm on his shoulder: "The rest room, of course. Sven, are you also going to thedy''s room with me? Hahaha!" Sven sighed to himself. When they were younger, he could''ve bullied Jane for these words. But now they were older, Jane had be a taekwondo enthusiast, and only she could do the bullying now. "Silly girl, the rest room is right over there!" Sven held Jane, who was drunk, and helped her walk. J leaned against Sven, closed her eyes and followed him. ''Sven was really a nice guy!'' Kate saw Jane and became much sober. This girl was so hateful! Could have she followed them to the bar? Daniel walked towards the room they were in. Kate had no time to look at his expression and immediately followed him. And Sven called Jerry to ask him to take Jane back home. However, when Jerry saw Sally drinking beer, he took the bottle out of her hand and quickly dragged Sally out of the bar. "Sven, take my sister to the vi. No, better yet, take her to your house. I''ll call my father first." Jerry trusted Sven. But if E saw that Jane was drunk, she would''ve gone nuts. On the other hand, Sally could handle her alcohol pretty well. She had four bottles of beer and she was totally fine. Seeing that she was in Jerry''s arms now, Sally struggled with discontent: "Jerry Shao, let me go, I can walk on my own!" Chapter 21 He Got A Nosebleed Chapter 21 He Got A Nosebleed Jerry had called and texted Sally in thest couple of days but to no avail, she remained silent to him. Now Jerry had met Sally face-to-face, and now was his chance to finally figure out what was really This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. going on between themtely. He was going to ask her if she wanted to give up on him. Behind Jerry''s back, Sven looked at Jane, who was now just about to fall asleep. He thought that Jane was pitiful; he had just asked Jerry toe and pick her up. But Jerry ignored his sister in favor of his future wife. Sven, pitying J, held her in his arms and walked towards the door. When Sven was wondering how to open the door while at the same time holding J in his arms, it suddenly opened from the outside. The door opened, and through it in came Daniel. He looked at the sleeping girl in Sven''s arms, and asked: "Where is Sally?" "I was just about to tell you. Jerry just picked her up. Jerry took care of his future wife and ignored his sister. Poor me... I now have to take Jane to my house and risk being chased and beaten up by my girlfriend." Sven shook his head and left the bar''s private room with Jane in his arms. Sven, when he was just about toy J onto the backseat of his car, saw Daniel say goodbye to his girlfriend. "Spark, please help me send Kate back." Kate didn''t understand, and asked, "Daniel, what about you?" He pointed at Sven, who was not that far away from them, and replied: "I have something to do with him." Kate nodded, "Okay. Good night." With this, she boldly raised herself on tiptoes and kissed Daniel''s right cheek. A strange expression appeared on Daniel''s face, but it was too dark for the others to notice it clearly. As the ck Bentley left, Daniel walked up to Sven. Sven thought that Daniel just came up to say goodbye to him, and said: "Bye. I am going to take Jane to my ce." But Daniel instead got in the car, not saying a single word. He then moved J to the left and leaned her against the car''s second back door. "I''m going in the same direction. Please give me a lift." With these words, Daniel closed the car''s door. The Royal Mansion was in the eastern part of the city while Sven''s apartment was in the south. Why was he saying he was going in the same direction? Sven sat in the driver''s seat, feeling uptight. He was a doctor with outstanding medical skills, as his father was, and now suddenly he was Daniel''s personal driver? "Daniel, could you sit next to me here in the front? Jane will feel ufortable and stiff if she sleeps like that." said Sven, as he fastened his seat-belt. "No. That''s fine." ... Sven was just worried that Jane would feel ufortable and get muscle cramps when she woke up. Daniel, of course, was fine, since he wasn''t sleeping. "It would be morefortable for Jane to lie on the backseat alone." "Please, drive now!" Daniel kicked the driver''s seat. Sven, who was bummed out, seemed to be suddenly aware of something when he saw in the rear view mirror that Jane was now sleeping pressed against Daniel''s left shoulder. As he parked his car in front of Daniel''s vi at The Royal Mansion, Sven thoughts were now definitely confirmed. After getting out of the car, Daniel wasn''t in too much of a rush to enter the house. Instead, he gently lifted J in his arms, who was sound asleep, out of the car. "Daniel, you can''t take Jane to your home! Her father and mother will be furious if they see her like this!" Sven tried to stop him as he thought that Daniel was going to take Jane to her home. But Daniel just turned round and briefly nodded, and then he entered his vi with J in his arms. ''Daniel''s really going inside with her...'' Sven rubbed his eyes and took a better look at what was just happening. It was really true; Daniel entered his vi with Jane drunk in his arms. ''What was going on? Daniel already had a girlfriend. Am I overthinking all of this? Does Daniel look at Jane only as a sister?'' thought Sven. He was about to call back Jerry and tell him what had just happened, but his phone was powered off... And to top it off, when he tried calling Jerry again, his phone also ran out of battery and died. So Sven drove away, because, after all, Daniel was the person he trusted most in the world, and so he trusted him that he knew best what he was doing. In the vi. Daniel took J back home without hesitations, but now he began to regret it, since he didn''t know where he could let her sleep in the house. Should he let her sleep on the carpet? Or on the sofa? He first decided toy her down on the sofa. J turned in her sleep and grabbed a pillow tight in her arms. After thinking about what he had done for a little while, Daniel decided to call Sven again, but Sven''s phone was dead. He then called Jerry, but his phone was dead as well. Suddenly, Daniel had a strong feeling that he had brought back home trouble. He now felt very disappointed with himself. ''Forget it. Just let her sleep on the sofa!'' He would never have let her sleep on his bed! He went upstairs, and after he took out his night robe from the cloakroom, he entered the bathroom to take a shower. When he had just turned on the shower head, the woman who was sleeping on the sofa downstairs suddenly awoke and opened her eyes. ''Oh? Why did I fall sleep on the sofa?'' she thought. She stoop up from the sofa and staggered towards the staircase barefooted. ''Ah? When did father change the steps and handrail color into white? Uh? Why is the second floorpletely redecorated? Why doesn''t father tell me of these things? Anyway, which is my room?'' She opened the door of one of the rooms but saw an empty bed, without any linen on it. She knew from the start that this clearly wasn''t her room! And then she opened another door, but it was a study. And another one after... But when J opened thest room she was astounded when sheid her eyes on the huge bed in it. ''Wow! What a big bed!'' She didn''t think too much and instantly jumped on it with excitement. ''Oh, no, I''m notfortable dressed like this. Eh? Why is the closet ced the other way around? Anyway, I''ll just sleep here!'' J entered the closet, took off her clothes, and then went back to bed. She sluggishly climbed on the bed and covered herself with a thin quilt and then she curled up in it and then quickly fell back asleep. Twenty minutester. The bathroom door was opened, and Daniel walked out of it wearing only a ck bathroom robe and a pair of slippers. He went up to the wine rack, poured himself a ss of red wine and then took a greedy sip out of it. For a moment he thought of the woman that was sleeping downstairs, and after he finished his wine he went outside. He instantly felt that there was something wrong with it! With his three-year experience as a soldier, Daniel was wary that there was something not-at-ce with his room. After he calmly surveyed around his room, his eyes finally stopped at the apparent wad of stuffying on his bed. He was sure that there had been nothing on his bed before. However, something had appeared meanwhile he was showering. Everything else looked normal, and he took a nce at the windowsill and the balcony''s door; no signs of an apparent break-in were present. As he gradually got close to it, he was astonished to find out that the wad on his bed could even move. As he got next to the bed, Daniel suddenly opened the quilt. He remained stunned for a while after he saw J under the quilt. Three minutester, he felt he was breathing more rapidly and felt a surge of heat flowing and gushing out of one of his nostrils. To his surprise, he got a nosebleed from all the stress he was being put through... ''Damn it!'' Daniel looked paler than before, and as he looked at the fresh bloodstain on his hand he decided to go to the bathroom and wash again. This time he took a cold shower, and Daniel returned to the bedroom in the same bathrobe as before. He tried to restrict himself not to look at J; he picked up the quilt that was lying next to him and covered her. He didn''t dare to look at J until she was totally covered from head to toe. "J Shao, get up this instance!" But she was sound asleep, not making the slightest move. "J Shao! Don''t let me tell you a second time!" But she still didn''t move a muscle. Daniel was furious. ''How did I bring back home such a trouble-maker?'' "J Shao!" He yelled at her even more loudly. Until J, under the quilt, finally moved. But just a little, and this disappointed Daniel even more. J, who was sound asleep, when she clearly heard someone calling out her name finally awoke, opened her quilt, and suddenly sat up in bed. Chapter 22 Why am I Sleeping in Daniels Arms Chapter 22 Why am I Sleeping in Daniel''s Arms "Who is it? You''re so annoying!" The soft quilt slipped down off her body and with this a nosebleed nearly struck Daniel again. Damn! This woman dared to sleep naked on his bed! "Get out of my bed!" Daniel mercilessly dragged his invader off his bed. J unexpectedly dropped off of it and her hips kissed the ground. She immediately curled her lips and demanded, "Who is the bastard that hurt me?" She then managed to crawl back to bed. She covered herself with the quilt again and fell back asleep, like nothing had happened. ... Now, everything returned back to tranquility. Daniel felt even more annoyed. He walked back to the wine shelf and drank the rest wine in the ss. Then he went back to his room and kept looking with a nk stare at the wad on his bed for half an hour. Half an hourter, Daniel drank one more ss of red wine and violently mmed the ss on the table. Then he decided he had nothing else to do but to get in bed, and stole J''s quilt and covered himself with it. The bed was very wide, and the space between them could fit three more adults without any problems whatsoever. But the quilt was not as wide as the bed was, and J''s whole body was exposed and was cold, now that Daniel had dragged over the quilt. She was sound asleep, and in her sleep she turned her body to and fro until she finally caught something warm and tightly embraced it in her arms. That warm thing was Daniel, and his breath nearly stopped when he found himself in her arms. J''s scent came to Daniel and made his mind roam about. Five minutester, his eyes were shut tight and beads of sweat wereing out of his forehead. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned around towards the woman who was holding him in her arms. Then, one minuteter, Daniel put on his slippers and went straight to the bathroom to take another cold shower. After another half an hour passed, Daniel walked out of the bathroom. He picked up J andid her on the sofa, and then turned off the lights and finally went to sleep. At about one o''clock AM, the heavy rain outside woke Daniel up. He turned on the bedsidemp and found that the little girl on the sofa had huddled herself up from the cold. He got out of bed, lifted J up from the sofa, put her back on the bed. They then slept together in it and shared the quilt. In the darkness, Daniel touched her cold body. He stretched out his arms and embraced her to keep her warm. She soon stopped shivering and immediately fell back asleep. It was pure torture for Daniel to hold this soft, warm body in his arms all night. It wasn''t until dawn came that he finally managed to fall asleep. In the morning, J''s thirst woke her up first. Even before she opened her eyes, she could feel that something was wrong, but what was it? The air, the bed, the quilt, and she was... Everything seemed wrong. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. She wasn''t in her own room! And to top it all, she was also being embraced by someone, as she felt the heavy resting of an arm on her waist. She suddenly opened her eyes and clearly saw who the man holding her was. She then burst into hysterical screams. "Ah, ah, ah!" "Shut up!'' replied Daniel to her initial screams. The man slowly opened his eyes and, already frowning, he looked at the bewildered woman in his arms. ''Why... w-why am I sleeping in Daniel''s arms? What happenedst night?'' She looked under the quilt and saw herself naked and then burst into the same maniacal screams: "Ah, ah, ah, you bastard!" She kicked Daniel''s waist hard with her foot, and he almost fell off the bed had it not been that spacious. "J, stop it, now!" Having been deprived of his rest the whole night, Daniel was now losing his temper. J tightly wrapped herself up with the quilt and she pointed at him and screamed, "Daniel Si! You dare... dare... to rape me!" She now was weeping over her lost virginity. She now had to use him and send him straight to prison. The man looked at her, and said: "You think I''ve raped you? With your t bosom? Aren''t you overestimating yourself too much?" he tittered. Massaging his now painful waist, Daniel started regretting thatst evening he had brought home this impolite young woman. He said that her bosom was t! He had seen her body from head to toe anyway, and J now went with ahead with everything, regardless of anything. She threw away the quilt covering her, stood up, and then knelt in front of the man, and said, "Daniel Si, have a look and please tell me if they are either little, or t. Have you ever seen a t C-cup?" Daniel''s eyes grew bigger and his breath quickened, but he tried to pretend to be calm and said: "I bet you received breast imnts!" Not expecting it, J pulled Daniel''s big palm, cupped it, ced it under her breast and pouted: "Try it!" ... Daniel''s mind was blown away and out came blood bursting from his nose. ''Damn it!'' Daniel cursed, ignored J, and then rushed to the bathroom. What? "Daniel, why is your nose bleeding?" curiously asked Jane. She saw the man escape and rush to the bathroom, but didn''t know why. For a few minutes, while she was sitting on the bed, she was in a daze. ''Oh, no! Where am I? Is this Daniel''s house?'' She would even the score with Danielter, but now she had to get dressed first. Where were her clothes? Judging from her experience, she must have put them in the closet. It was in the opposite direction,pared to her own one at home. She found a door, and she pushed it open. This really was Daniel''s closet. And her clothes were there too. J got dressed up as quickly as possible. When Daniel came back from the bathroom saw her again, his face instantly darkened. He shouted: "Get out!" Jane was immediately disturbed when he heard him. She had never seen in her whole life a man as bad and abusive as Daniel, and now she had to confront for what he did to her. "Daniel Si! What did you do to mest night? You now must be responsible for me!" Daniel turned around tittering, he looked at the childish woman in front of him, and said: "J, stay calm; you''re thest woman on Earth that I''d ever want to touch!" ... What an insult! And he said it straight to her face! But, on the other hand, she concluded from his words that he actually had done nothing wrong to her. And when she thought of this, J felt more rxed and at ease. "Daniel, how dare you humiliate me like this! Just you wait and see!" "OK, I''ll be waiting! Just paint me a picture of what you can do!" "You, you! Where am I now? I need to go back home! Now!" demanded Jane. J was so angry with Daniel that she couldn''t bear seeing him a second more. "Where are you? You''re in Hell, and I want to imprison you here forever, so that you can never escape." Daniel actually thought that this might be a good idea. J took deep breaths, again and again. ''Calm down, calm down J!'' she encouraged herself. Forget it. She gave up on asking Daniel anything and she went around the room, trying to find her shoes. She opened the bedroom''s door and went downstairs. She intended to leave barefoot, but she eventually found her shoes beside the sofa, when she came down to the ground floor. She happily put them on and left through the front door. Outside she found herself at the Royal Mansion, and the building that she had juste out of was house No. 9. So she had slept in Daniel''s mansionst night. J''s face flushed crimson red when she thought of her naked body lying on Daniel''s bed and next to him. And she had also seen Daniel''s bronze-tanned pecs... J hid her shy red face between her two palms and started to run towards her own house. Chapter 23 What Did You Do Yesterday Chapter 23 What Did You Do Yesterday With a guilty conscience at hand, J covertly opened the vi''s door, gazed around a little, and then ran upstairs after she saw that there was nobody present in the living room. "Jane." Samuel''s voice was suddenly hearding from downstairs. J jumped with panic and answered aloud, "Yes!" Samuel was quite taken aback by her noisy reply. He abandoned his breakfast on the table and looked at Jane''s figure in disbelief. If Jerry hadn''t called himst evening, and told him that Jane was in his apartment, he would have believed that Jane must have been up to no good! "Honey, what''s happening with you?" Samuel was walking to the staircase and was just about to ask E to get up for breakfast when he first heard Jane. However, J ran away in an instant, just like a frightened bird. ... ''There must be something wrong'' thought Samuel. He followed J up to the second floor suspiciously. When he arrived in front of J''s door, she had bolted it. Samuel had even heard that J locked the door. J''s strange movements raised Samuel''s strong sense of curiosity. "Tok tok tok." Samuel knocked at the door. "Dad, I''m changing my clothes. Leave me alone!" J felt guilty. She couldn''t let Samuel know that she and Daniel... had slept togetherst night. "Jane, please tell dad, what''s the matter with youtely?" J''s odd behavior worried Samuel a lot. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and opened the door. J stretched out her head out and smiled at Samuel: "Dad, I''m OK. I''m justte for work." But wait! Samuel suddenly saw a suspicious red mark on Jane''s neck. And as a person with experience, Samuel immediately knew what it was! "J Shao, what did you do yesterday?" Samuel''s face suddenly turned serious, which frightened J: "No... nothing, I just... just had a good night''s sleep." Hearing her stumbling words and seeing her dodging look, Samuel knew she was definitely lying! "Where did you sleepst night?" Samuel now pushed the door open, and J was suddenly exposed to Samuel''s eyespletely, which made her quite uneasy. Where did she sleepst night? She remembered she was with Sally and Svenst night. "At Sally''s home!" Samuel pped heavy on the door and looked at J with a searching nce: "J Shao, tell me the truth. What did you dost night?" How dared Jerry and J lie to him together! If he found out that something had happened with Jane J''s heart skipped a beat. Holy crap! She told herself she wouldn''t drink anymore. "Dad, I''mte for work. I''m going to work with Daniel today, but if I won''t leave right away..." "You were with Daniel Sist night!" Samuel didn''t believe a word out of J''s story. After he said these words, he carefully watched how she would react to them. Em... J''s eyes dodged his. ''How did dad know? Damn! How should I tell him?'' "Dad, don''t be angry! I was with Daniel Sist night, but we did nothing wrong. I was drunk and slept all night!" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. He trusted her when she said she had spent the night at Daniel''s, but didn''t trust the rest of her story. Samuel looked at the red mark on her neck again and took a deep breath, "Tell Daniel Si, to wait and see!" After he uttered these final words, Samuel returned to his bedroom. J now wondered what they meant. ''Wait and see? What would dad do to Daniel?'' After J washed her face and rinsed her mouth, she changed her clothes. When she was going downstairs, E stared at her with a strange look in her eyes. "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" J stayed as far away as she could from the table, fearful that L might try to educate her. L looked at her from head to tow, and believed Samuel''s words. ''Jane was, indeed, odd!'' "Nothing. Come here and have breakfast with me!" E invited her with her usual voice, but J shook her head immediately and said: "Mom, I''mte for work. Bye!" Then she swiftly ran towards the door of the vi, opened the door and rushed out. After she ran almost half a kilometer, J stopped, gasping for air. ''Damn it!'' Nothing had happened between Daniel and her! But why was she feeling so guilty? After she calmed herself, J came to be aware of another bleak matter: she had run out of the house instead of driving a car. Her car was parked at thepany, and now she could only go back and drive one dad''s or mom''s cars. But she didn''t want to. ''Forget it!'' she thought. However, J suddenly saw a ck Bentley nearing her. J was surprised and jumped in the middle of the road. The sharp squeaking of the car''s sudden brake scared most of the birds in the woods nearby, and Daniel''s forehead hit the front seat. The Bentley was now pulled a little over one meter away from J. Daniel stared at J with a murderous look in his eyes. Spark was still suffering from the shock and was gasping for air. ''God! I almost hit someone!'' he thought. J ignored the shock she gave them and knocked at the window of the front-passenger''s seat. Spark pressed a button and the door opened. J got into the car and spoke to Daniel: "My car is at thepany. Can I hitch a ride?" She was taken advantage ofst night, and Daniel certainly wouldn''t refuse such a small request! But J was wrong;pletely wrong. Daniel got out the car, opened the front-passenger''s door and pulled J out of the car. Then he got back in the car and simply left. J looked at the disappearing Bentley in bewilderment. ''What a mean man! I have to stop talking to Daniel Si! Ah ah ah!'' J was frustrated, and walked towards the gates of the residential quarter. In the end, she finally took a taxi after she got a blister in her foot. In the SL Group. When J arrived at thepany, Spark had already been working for twenty minutes. He looked at the frustrated girl, and said: "Miss Shao... You arete today. Your full attendance award and today''s sry will be deducted from your monthly wage." Actually, only the full attendance award was deducted if someone happened to bete. As for the daily sry... Daniel had asked him to do it. J bit her lower lip. She waste because of Daniel Si! "Daniel Si iste too. Is his sry deducted?" asked Jane. She clearly remembered that she woke up earlier than Daniel did, and that Daniel must bete for work too. His sry should also be deducted. Spark cleared his throat and the other secretaries startedughing. J was confused, "What happened?" "The boss is free of penalties. Even if he doesn''te to thepany at all, his sry can''t be deducted." J nodded her head and spoke with indifference in her voice: "That''s it! Do as you like then." To be honest, she didn''t really know her monthly sry yet, and she never asked about it either. But this wasn''t important. Her final goal was not working at the SL Group. She worked here to loosen up her mom, so that one day she would invest money into her bakery shop. Chapter 24 A Soldier Is Looking For You Downstairs Chapter 24 A Soldier Is Looking For You Downstairs J returned to her seat and began to handle the work assigned by Spark. "J Shao is too rich to care about the $1000 full attendance award. She is the sworn daughter of our chairman and our CEO''s fiancee. She works here just for fun." "Fiancee? For a celebrity like our CEO, the press must''ve published by now his engagement to her! This must be another joke of our chairman''s wife." "Who knows how the rich people''s world is like..." J began to sort out the documents and didn''t hear a thing about what other people were talking about around her. But Spark heard everything. He looked at J and reluctantly shook his head. A spoiled little princess like J wasn''t the right match for Daniel; Kate and Daniel were made for each other. Nobody in thepany dared to provoke J anymore because of L, and J was d about it. In the following days, J was very low-key, and dedicated herself to the work assigned by Spark. Then, one day, Daniel and J both received phone calls from their own parents, who asked them to Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. have supper with them in a restaurant. J simply said yes, but Daniel asked L, "Mother, why do we have to eat supper out in town?" "To discuss Jerry and Sally''s wedding, and your engagement with Jane." ''Engagement?'' Daniel frowned after thinking of the young harpy outside. But, then again, he might be on to something, and said yes to the invitation. At lunch time. J was collecting the documents. Daniel and Spark, who just had just finished a client meeting, went to the office, and at that moment, the internal telephone of the Secretary Department started ringing. Spark, who was closer to the telephone, picked it up, "Hello, this is the 88th floor." After hearing something, Spark replied with OK and then went to J: "J, a soldier is looking for you downstairs." ''Em?'' J was confused. ''Looking for me?'' Oh! It must be the soldier whom she had met that day, the one who was supposed to deliver letters to Bill for her. "Thank you. Spark." J was pleased to meet again with the handsome soldier. She took out a letter, which was written for Bill from her bag, and cheerfully walked towards the elevator. "Miss Shao, make a copy of this document, now." Daniel stopped J in her steps with a cold voice. J''s heart immediately sank. She took over Daniel''s document, and said, "I''ll make a copy of it soon." Then she put it down on her desk and again started walking towards the elevator. "I said now!" Daniel stopped her again in her tracks with an even severer voice. J held the letter tight in hand, and said, "I heard it. But I''m busy now. I''ll make a copy of itter." Someone was waiting for her downstairs; she felt sorry for keeping him waiting. The elevator arrived and J walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. Seeing the elevator doors close, Daniel walked into his office and mmed the door behind him. Spark looked at this odd scene, lost for words. Then he took a look at the document on J''s desk and wondered why didn''t he know this document needed to be copied. In the office. Daniel sat down on his chair and, irritated somehow, called thepany''s internal telephone: "I need to see the monitoring screen of thepany gates. Now." "OK, Mr. Si." J walked out of the elevator in a happy mood. An eye-catching military car was pulled over not that far away from thepany, in the parking lot. In the car, Brian couldn''t help smiling after she saw the little girl again. He got out of the car. "J Shao!" he greeted her. "Hello, Mr. Soldier." Jordan was wearing his military uniform and looked handsome, attracting the attention of many of her colleagues. "You didn''t reply to Bill''sst letter, so he... asked me to look for you." Bill had simplyined to him why J didn''t write a letter to him in reply, and Brian had promised him he would personally ask around and find her and then ask her. Seeing his cousin driving a military car and leaving the camp, Bill was shocked. "Sorry. I lost your phone number." J felt embarrassed and scolded Daniel Si in her mind. "It doesn''t matter. I''ll dial your number again" spoke Brian. He took out his phone and dialed J''s number. But J forgot to bring her phone: "My phone is upstairs. I''ll save your numberter when I go back up." "OK. Is there anything I can now do for you?" asked Brian. He put his phone back into the pocket and looked at the pretty little girl standing in front of him. J remembered her initial thoughts and handed the letter to Brian, "Please tell Bill to practice harder. Don''te back if he is not soon promoted topanymander or at least regimental Looking at J''s innocent eyes, Brian had the feeling that J actually didn''t have a crush on Bill. He put the letter into his pocket, and asked, "J, are you... Bill''s girlfriend?" Em? J went nk for a moment. ''Why did Mr. Soldier think that she was Bill''s girlfriend?'' "No, no, no. Bill is like my good friend. I''m proud of him that he could make an honorable contribution to the country, " replied Jane. Her words sent thrills of joy to Jordan''s heart. He stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself, "Hello, J, I''m Brian Han, Bill''s cousin. Nice to meet you!" Brian Han? Bill''s cousin? This exined a lot of things. J held his big hand in hers, and said, "Hello, Mr. Han... What should I call you? Oh, what about Brian? Brian, nice to meet you!" When he saw the girl''s sweet smile, Brian couldn''t help butugh. Her little hand was soft and smooth and, for a moment, Brian even forgot to loosen her hand out of his. J awkwardly took out her hand out of his grip: "Thank you, Brian. I''m still at work. See you next time." Brian returned to Earth and nodded his head: "Sorry to disturb you. Go on to your work!" On the 88th floor, when J and Brian were talking, Daniel asked Spark to hand him J''s phone. Daniel did something to it and asked Spark to put it back. Daniel told Spark: "If J asks you something, just reply that you saw nothing." Spark was dumbfounded, but when Daniel took a brief cold stare at him, Spark nodded his head immediately and conformed with orders. On her way back to the office, J hummed a tune, and then returned to her seat. She unlocked her phone but was confused. ''Why isn''t there a missed call showing up? Was it because Brian failed to get through, or she didn''t have any signal?'' J searched theplete call log, but found nothing. She looked at Spark and questioned him: "Mr. Shi, did you see someone do anything to my phone?" Spark shook his head without turning around: "I know nothing. I saw nothing." J was now even more confused. ''Maybe Brian failed to get through.'' Chapter 25 You Have Already Slept with Jane Chapter 25 You Have Already Slept with Jane J put her phone aside and began to print the documents ording to Daniel''s instruction. After about half an hour, J sent the printed documents back to Daniel''s office and spoke to him: "Mr. Si, these are all the documents you requested." Daniel, who was checking his emails, didn''t utter a word and just stared at hisputer screen, absorbed in his current task. ''Does he think he''s superior to others just because he''s thepany''s CEO? How dare he ignores me?'' thought Jane. J curled her lips and turned around to leave his office. While Daniel asked her to stop, J just kept walking towards the door and replied with her back turned to him, "It''s break time, Mr. Si." After she mmed his office door, she cleared up her office table and went out to have lunch. In the afternoon, J received a reprimand note, which read: ''Due to the defiant behavior of not obeying the superior and speaking rudely to him, J Shao, from the secretary division, is punished to a fine of $500. Let this serve as a future warning for all others.'' ... Having not a care on the world for money, J didn''t care about $500 whatsoever. This was just another act of hate on behalf of Daniel. She crumpled up the reprimand, but then unfolded it to sign her name. In the evening, after work J was the first employee to run out of thepany when work ended. ''Why did mother make such a tight time schedule? I finished work at six, and now I have to rush to the hotel to get in time for dinner.'' It was rush hour at that time, and it was very possible that she might hit a traffic jam, so J picked up the pace to arrive in time for her meeting. At 6:50, J parked her car in front of the hotel''s gate and walked towards the 601 private room, ording to E''s instructions. The waitress took her to room 601. She opened the door and spoke: "Father and mother, why did you want to go out for dinner today, it''s..." J stopped talking when she saw that there were other people inside. "Jane, please,e and sit here, " said E. She stood up from her chair and drew J to sit beside her. While J stared at Daniel, who was sitting opposite to her in silence, she thought to herself: ''Daniel was still at his office when I left thepany; how did he arrive earlier than me? And why are all these other people here?'' J tried to put her bad feelings aside, and said, "Father and mother*, I''mte. I apologize I kept you waiting for so long." (*TN: Here Father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) "That''s alright. You aren''tte, because we also just arrived earlier." Lforted Jane and caressed the back of her hand. When she saw that Jane was wearing the ear studs she gave her, L became even more happier. "Jane, how''s your work going at Daniel''spany?" asked Nicole. Nicole was 29 years old now and worked for the SL Group abroad. When she learned that Jerry and Sally were going to get married soon, she found the time to return back home for a short while and to attend their wedding. J briefly smiled at her, and said, "Nicole, father and mother* take good care of me and I''m doing very well there, thank you." (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) When he heard what she said, Daniel slightly raised his eyebrow. He thought to himself that he also took good care of her at the SL Group. Especially when he wrote her the punishment note and didn''t blink for a second when he signed it. Samuel and E looked relieved at their daughter. And they also felt relieved, and believed that their daughter won''t get bullied anymore since L took good care of her. "Nicole, how long do you n to stay at home this time?" asked J. She rarely met with Nicole, but she really liked and enjoyed herpany, because she was a well educateddy. She could see in Nicole certain types of etiquette not yet practiced by her, and so she always took Nicole as being a model example. Nicole put down the ss of juice in her hand, and said, "I''ll be back at work after Jerry and Sally''s wedding." Sally, who was just mentioned by Nicole, nced at Jerry for a moment. ''Why am I going to marry that stubbornwyer?'' she thought. The two families got well together, and fixed a date for Jerry and Sally''s wedding ceremony in good spirits. Sally, with purse lips, asked Harry, "Father, do I have the right to protest against it?" But before Harry even had the chance to say a word, Jerry quickly held her hand, and said, "You can protest it, but you also have to think about our unborn child." Sally suddenly blushed and then shouted at him, "Jerry, what are you talking about!" Had she had any chance to get pregnant before? Well, once they indeed had unprotected sex, and both of them didn''t think or take any protective measures to avoid a possible pregnancy. "What if you get pregnant?" asked Jerry. He smiled and looked at Sally who now blushed. Harry felt a little uneasy and, at the thought of the uing wedding, he severely said to her, "Sally, don''t be silly!" "Sally, I hope you''ll have a baby soon, so that John can have someone to y with!" spoke J. Jerry approvingly nced at her when he heard what she just said. Sally felt even more frustrated now when she thought of little John at the old house, who was more than 20 years younger than her. After they finished discussing Jerry and Sally''s wedding ns, Harry spoke, "Daniel, Jane, we can also talk about your engagement tonight. What do you think?" J suddenly got stunned when she heard these words, and replied, "Father and mother*, I won''t be able to marry him, because Daniel already has a girlfriend!" (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) Samuel also knew that, so now he frowned ufortable, not saying a word. "That''s right. So there''s no need to talk about the engagement at the moment." It was the first time Daniel agreed with J. However, after she heard Daniel''s refusal, J, somehow, now felt very sad. "Nonsense! Daniel, you have already slept with Jane. How could you not take responsibility for her? How could you be so despicable, just as your father was in the past?" When Harry heard what L said, he pulled his wife''s hand. Daniel didn''t want to ount for it. Samuel, who had kept silent all this time, now finally began to speak, "We''d better not force Daniel and Jane to get married if they don''t want to. From tomorrow on, Jane, you don''t have to go to work at the SL Group anymore, and you can find a shop and do what you like." However, their mothers got very anxious when they heard that. "Samuel, please take it easy now, don''t rush to conclusions. I will not let Daniel be an irresponsible man, and he must be responsible for Jane!" This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. said L. With this, L winked at her husband, asking him to figure out a solution to all of this. "I agree with my father. Father and mother*, Daniel and I are not right for each other, so the wedding ceremony for Jerry and Sally will have to suffice!" J tried to smile, and added, "In fact, nothing happened between us that evening, so Daniel has no need to take any responsibility for me. Mother*, you also don''t have to worry about us." (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) ''Why do I feel so sad?'' J pinched her leg, but she felt even more in pain, and not because of her now aching leg, but because of Daniel. Atst, they didn''t talk anymore about J and Daniel''s engagement. L felt very distressed! Samuel and E left the hotel first because they had to pick up John on their way home. Jerry and Sally also left soon afterwards. J also thought that she had to leave, so she said, "Father and mother*, Nicole... Mr. Si, I have something else to doter, so I have to go now. Thank you." (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) "That''s all right, it''s gettingte anyway. Let''s leave together." L stood up and then walked with J towards the private room''s door. Harry followed, carrying her bag in his hand. Nicole and Daniel also followed. When she came out of the hotel, a sudden gust of wind made J instantly shiver. L helped Jane close the buttons of her coat, and affectionately looked at her, saying, "Jane, in fact, when you get to know him, Daniel is really a nice man. Perhaps you don''t often meet each other and don''t know enough about him right now. I won''t force you to get married so soon. And as for your engagement, we can talk about itter. But will you please promise me that you will give Daniel a chance and not be intimate with other boys? You can y with them, of course, but would you please not make any of them your boyfriend?" Chapter 26 I Came to Take Back My Hair Chapter 26 I Came to Take Back My Hair J saw the Bentley car, which was not that far ahead. The window of the back seat door was open, and she saw that there was a woman sitting inside. She pointed at the woman, and said, "Mother*, let everything be as it should be!" (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother.) J understood L''s high expectations, but she didn''t understand what she had to do with her feelings. Looking towards the direction where J''s finger was pointing at, L saw Daniel walk towards his car, and as he approached it, the woman got out of the ck Bentley and happily threw herself into Daniel''s arms. Holding Kate''s waist, they came towards L and J and they stopped in front of them, Daniel said, "Father, mother, this is my girlfriend, Kate Song." ''Kate Song?'' "CEO of Changsheng Co., Ltd." Harry, who stood beside them, on seeing her had already known of her strong background. "Hello, and indeed, I am Kate Song, the CEO of Changsheng. Pleased to finally meet you." Kate made decent greetings to the two elders. Her politeness and sweet smiles made J feel kind of uneasy. She finally discovered one fact, and that was that most girls, such as Nicole and Kate, behaved very decently andposedly in society. But, unlike them, she was always crazy and in a bad temper, and very, very wayward... L simply returned her a smile, and Harry said something more, "Miss Song, you have a good reputation in the business circles, that you are alwaysposed and decisive at work. Daniel is the same. I wonder if it really is suitable for you two strong individuals to be together." ... Kate''s smile became rigid at one moment, and then said, "Mr. Si, I would restrain myself and be the woman behind Daniel if that is his true wish." Obviously, Harry didn''t agree that this woman be his son''s girlfriend. He again broke off his usual silence, and said, "But I have recently heard of your engagement with Mr. Feng, and you''re now saying to us that you are Daniel''s girlfriend. Could you exin?" Kate''s face instantly turned pale. She had forgot about one essential thing, that the Si family was at the top of C Country society, and that if any girl would happen to approach Daniel, his father Harry was sure to investigate that girl''s background to the bone. J looked at Kate, shocked. ''Daniel''s girlfriend already had an engagement with another man. So did this mean that Daniel would rather have a girlfriend who had already been engaged to another man than me approaching him?'' J seemed to know how much Daniel hated her. "Mr. Si, I will solve this engagement problem. Leon Feng is thirty years older than me, and I absolutely will not agree to marry him, " replied Kate. Kate took a deep breath and then gripped Daniel''s hand. ''Why won''t Daniel help me? Say something!'' she thought. L then smiled and looked at Kate: "There is no need to do anything with your engagement, actually. I think it''s too much going on between you and Daniel, and so Daniel will make the engagement with Jane instead, and I''m sure that Jane is the perfect daughter-inw for me." J wanted to speak, but L gripped her hands tight, and gave her a look that indicated only silence. Kate was well aware about her position. She looked at the little girl and tittered in her mind. She then said, "Mrs. Si, I love Daniel very much, and I will make any efforts needed for our rtionship to stay strong." Daniel finally uttered some words: "Father, mother, we''ll go first; Kate will stay with me tonight..." Then they left. L was shocked, and she wondered, ''Does my son really love Kate that much? He really is taking her to his own mansion!'' she thought. This was not a good sign. She said, "Jane, I hate Kate, but you are closer to Daniel. Go and get that girl away from Daniel!" L was certain in her heart that her son had some special feelings not yet unearthed towards Jane, and she was certain she wasn''t wrong about this. "Me?" asked Jane. She looked at L with surprise, and thought, ''Isn''t it better if his own father and mother go out and stop him? Even his sisters, Nicole and Sally, would be better persons to do this. Why me, an outsider, has to do this?'' "Yes, Jane, go. Last time you spent a whole night with Daniel in his mansion, right?" ''Jane, you stupid kid. Why not give it a try?'' L thought. Judging from the fact that she was brought home by Daniel, L quite understood what her son was really thinking about. Harry looked at the girl, who was now in a daze. He smiled, and said, "Jane, go!" ... Without understanding what was happening, J drove her car and went after the Bentley. At the Royal Mansion. Daniel got out of the car and was just about to let Spark drive Kate back to her home. But he caught a glimpse of the Benz in the distance, and then opened the back seat''s door again and took Kate''s hand to help her get out of the car. He opened the mansion''s gates and J rushed in through them and arrived at the house before them. Kate looked at the girl who was standing in their way with surprise in her eyes, "Why have youe to my boyfriend''s house?" This was the first time Kate had arrived at Daniel''s mansion, and in her mind she was very excited about this event. J really didn''t understand why either, ''That''s right. Why did Ie to her boyfriend''s home?'' Thinking of what L said, she guessed her sworn mother wanted her to get Kate away from Daniel. So she regained her confidence, and arrogantly said, "I came to... take back my hair." Daniel and Kate were perplexed. What tricks was J ying now? "Well,st time when I slept in your boyfriend''s arms, some of my hair strands were shed on his bed. I have to get them..." ... Then she ran upstairs, but Daniel ran faster than her and caught and dragged her by her clothes and threw her back out the door. Kate''s anger was now gone, having seen what happened before her eyes. "Daniel, let''s go inside now." "OK!" The mansion''s doors were now closed. No matter how hard J knocked at the door, he just refused to open it. Five minutester, J was sitting on the doorsill with her cheeks in her hands, not knowing what to do next. Why did her sworn mother force her toe here? Why? Failing in figuring these things out by her own, J gave up the thinking and proceeded to do the doing, and went around Daniel''s mansion. She then decided to enter his room the same way as Daniel had entered hers. She found a big tree next to the house and easily began to climb up on it. Then she stretched out her right arm, but the distance between the tree and the balcony was far beyond her grip. She saw the two figures in the room, hugging each other. J gathered up all the courage in her and released her hands and jumped to the balcony. Daniel had just left Kate in the guest room when he heard noiseing from the windows. He thought of that woman again. ''Damn, don''t tell me J is trying toe in from the balcony, as I did, '' he thought. The distance between the tree in the Shao mansion and the balcony was closer than that of his own balcony and the tree. It was too far for J to jump. He quickly went to the window and opened it, but could find no one there. He then checked around the windows of the balcony, but still there was no one. "Help..." A feeble voice wasing from down below his feet. Daniel''s heart started beating faster when he saw what was happening. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. J was gripping the edges of his balcony and her whole body was swaying in the air. Frowning, Daniel opened the balcony''s window, bent down, caught her arms and pulled her up to safety. Chapter 27 You were Asking For It Chapter 27 You were Asking For It "J Shao, what the hell do you think you''re doing?" asked Daniel. He''s voice sounded cold as snow, and J felt she''d been wronged, her eyes turning red in an instant. She thought that Daniel never cared about her, and he didn''t seem tofort her not even in this situation, when she was terrified that she almost fell to the ground. If she hadn''t knocked on the balcony''s window a few moments ago, she would not have slipped and fallen from the second floor. "I''m sorry to interrupt you two, " she said. J, looking more pitiful than ever, turned the other way around and again started to lower herself on the outer edge of the balcony. In that moment, Daniel''s heart sank. He dragged her back down, and asked her, "What are you doing now, J?" "Since you are not willing to see me, " she answered, "I''m leaving!" Tears couldn''t stop falling down on her face. She was very scared of animals. Last time, when they encountered the Samoyed dog, he had All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. left her behind without mercy. But J''s behavior made Daniel mad because he had no idea why she cried. ''What is she crying for?'' he thought to himself. He gripped her wrist vigorously, dragged her until they reached the bedroom''s door, and then kicked her out. "Get out!" he shouted. J sniffled woefully and thought, ''Am I stupid? No, I won''t leave!'' She shook off Daniel''s hand, took off her shoes, jumped onto his bed and quickly covered her head with the quilt. There was a sudden silence in the bedroom. After about five minutes, J got her head out of the quilt to see what was going on, but instead saw a pair of bright, malicious eyes staring at her. "Ah!" J screamed and again covered her head with the quilt. Then she felt like she was being lifted up in the air. Daniel put J and the quilt on his shoulder and then threw them out of the bedroom. Kate, who was making the bed, was shocked when she heard the noise. Seeing Je out of the quilt, Kate was surprised, and wondered how J managed to enter the house. The two lovers stood together, looking at the girl who was nowying on the ground with scornful eyes. Even J, who was thick-skinned, was embarrassed at this scene. She held her waist with her right arm and, without uttering another single word, walked down the stairs towards the front exit. She thought to herself, ''Mom*, I don''t live up to your expectation. I give up.'' (TN*: sworn mother) J opened the door of the vi, took a deep breath, looked at the dark sky and then chocked back the tears that were about to burst out of her. She closed the door, and said to herself, ''Don''t cry, Jane! You were asking for it! What a fool...'' J then got into her car and drove towards her own vi. Mansion No. 9 was silent again. Kate looked at the quilt on the ground, picked it up and was just about to throw it away. "Go back home. I''m unable to fall asleep if someone else is here, " spoke Daniel. The scene that J left, holding her waist, kept ying in Daniel''s mind. He turned around and went back to his bedroom. Kate''s voice came behind him, "Daniel, it''s very Daniel took his phone out of his pocket and called Spark, "Spark,e here and drive Miss Song back home." Then he hung up and closed the bedroom''s door. Kate stood outside his bedroom now, looking at the closed door and clenching her fists. She knew that Daniel was using her. ''Does he really love the little girl? Daniel Si, how can you do this to me? You abandon me after you use me! What do you take me for?'' thought Kate. When J parked her car in the garage, Samuel called her, "Jane, where are you?" "Dad, I''m in the garage. I just arrived." "It''ste now. Your mom and I are noting back tonight. Go to bed early!" "OK, dad." J hung up and slowly walked out of the garage. She looked up at the dark sky and found the moonlight to be beautiful, and so she found a bench and just sat there for a while, looking at the night sky. She took out her phone and tried taking a photo of the sky. Looking at the ck sky on her phone, J gave away a wry grin. The sky was so dark. Why did she think the moonlight was so enchanting? She opened her Weibo and found there were a lot of unread messages. All the messages were from her former college ssmates. She chatted with them for a while. J posted the picture she just took on her Weibo, and wrote in the post, "The night runs dark as ink." Soon, several peoplemented on the post. Sven replied, "Our little princess is so poetic this evening." A good friend from her college replied: "J Shao, have you lost it? This is so not like you!" Sally also replied, "Jane, where are you?" Most of them had put J''s Weibo ount in their Favorite list. Therefore, when J ever posted something on her wall, they were instantly informed. She felt in a bad mood and decided to reply to them tomorrow, when she was feeling better. She stood up from the bench and just when she was about to leave, after looking one more time at the ink-ck sky, she saw a car driving toward her. ''What? Isn''t this Daniel''s car? Where is he going thiste at night?'' thought Jane. She gave a wry smile when she thought better. Where he was going, it definitely had nothing to do with her! However, Spark saw her and pulled over the car: "Miss Shao, it''ste. Aren''t you going back home?" The car window went down, and J saw Kate sitting in the back seat, staring at her with a troubled look on her face. Daniel was not in the car. A sh of miraculous brightness now streaked across her mind, and she seemed to know something. "I''m leaving now." J ran away delighted. Seeing her, Spark felt even more confused. But he didn''t think much of it and drove the car away. J said she was leaving, but she hadn''t told them her destination. Five minutester, she again stood outside Mansion No. 9, gasping for air. She rung the doorbell for a long time, but nobody answered her. J took out her phone, but was surprised to find that she didn''t have Daniel''s number in her agenda. She had to dial Sally''s number to ask for it, but her phone was powered off... Then Jerry''s number, but his was also powered off... Then Sven, and this time she finally got through. However, a girl''s voice came speaking on the other side of the line: "J Shao? Don''t call my boyfriend again, and don''t try to contact him in any way either!" Then she hung up, and J was both shocked and speechless. She checked the number again and found that it really was Sven''s number. Was she Sven''s girlfriend? Why had the girl asked her not to contact Sven anymore? J buried herself deep in thought by the shock brought by the phone call. When the vi''s door was opened, J was still confused, pondering on what had just happened. She raised her head and curiously asked Daniel, "Does Sven have a girlfriend now?" Daniel was furious: "You rang my doorbell that many times to ask me such a question?" J nodded her head, but when Daniel was about to close the door, she shook her head immediately. "No, Daniel, stop! I was looking for you." She closed her phone, put it back in her bag and squeezed herself through the door and into the vi. She closed the door for Daniel and smiled at the angry man, "Daniel, I''ve made up my mind. Let''s get engaged!" She had just found that she, actually, liked him! Daniel''s face then softened. He looked at the naive little girl, and sneered, "Do you take engagements as being trifling matters?" "Of course not. If we are engaged, your dad and mom and my dad and mom won''t worry about us anymore, " she replied. What an excellent excuse, indeed! Chapter 28 Did You Seduce My Jane Chapter 28 Did You Seduce My Jane When J seemed to be proud of the excuse she hade up with, Daniel''s face suddenly darkened. He gnashed his teeth in anger, "So you want to get engaged with me because you don''t want out parents to worry about us anymore?" "Right!" replied the cheerful J. Their parents were really busy with Jerry and Sally''s wedding, so she decided that it was better that she didn''t make any trouble for them. Daniel inspected her from head to toe, and taunted her even more, "J, you are such a dutiful daughter! You can be a dutiful daughter right now. Leave me alone. Get out!" J suddenly got closer to Daniel, but he took a step back, unaware of his action. When Daniel realized that this move made him look like a coward, he dragged J by the cor and was just about to throw her out the door. However, J held his neck, stood on her tiptoes and kissed his thin lips. Daniel stopped, and time seemed to stop as well. "Daniel Si, I stamped you, and from now on you''re only mine!" Then J was thrown out of the house with no remorse, again. ... J looked at the closed door, curled her lips, and said, "Daniel Si you are such an ungrateful wretch. I took the initiative to kiss you for the first time and you acted this way!" What she didn''t know was that the man behind the door, after hearing her shouts andints, softened his face. The next morning Daniel changed his shoes, walked out his mansion and saw the ck Bentley parked and waiting for him in the usual spot. Spark got out of the car and greeted him with an uneasy look on his face, "Boss..." He then opened the back door for him, and Daniel got into the car. "Tell me..." he demanded. Before Daniel even finished his words, a smiling face turned to him from the front-passenger seat. "Good morning, Mr. Si." Daniel throw his briefcase aside and ordered Spark, "Throw her out of the car!" J immediately put on her safety belt, and asked, "Daniel Si, can''t I even get a lift to work?" "No, no you can''t!" The man categorically refused her without further ado. J felt a little depressed when she heard him, but shamelessly said, "Since you are mine now, your car is also mine." Spark, who was outside the car, almost choked on his own saliva when hearing this. He thought, ''Did something happen between the boss and the little girl?'' "Don''t take it the wrong way, Spark. Throw her out, now! If you''re not able to do it, then you are not allowed to get into the car either!" Daniel took a cold look at Spark and warned him in a low and serious voice. Seeing Spark moving, J immediately shouted, "Daniel Si, if you dare to throw me out, I''ll call mom* and tell her how you hugged me, kissed me and..." (TN*: sworn mother) "Enough!" yelled Daniel. The man interrupted J''s threat, gnashing his teeth with anger. Spark was now curiously staring at J. ''Keep on talking! What did the boss do to you?'' thought Spark. He was dying to know more about what J had to say. "Spark, drive the car!" Daniel kicked the front-passenger seat irritably, like a little boy. J''s heart flipped. If it wasn''t for her safety belt, Daniel might have sent her flying high with one of the kicks. She shook her head and then watched the scenery outside while the car was moving. After a while, she even began to hum a tune: "Every shl... every wo''wo..." While driving, Spark moved his head rhythmically, from left to right. "Shut up!" demanded Daniel. And J''s tune was interrupted by the low growl that came from the back seat. Spark immediately looked at J with a pitiful expression drawn on his face, ''Go on! What a nice tune you were humming, don''t surrender to Daniel''s power!'' "Isn''t my song good?" asked J, "Why did you ask me to stop?" Daniel closed his eyes. He now wanted to send the girl to Africa and ban her from ever returning to C Country. "She got a body like an hourss, but I can give it to you all the time..." continued J. "Stop the car!" ... The sound of a mming door was immediately heard after the screeching brake. The two people in the front looked at the empty back seat in shock. Not far away, a man dressed in a nice suit and expensive Italian leather shoes strode forward on the street, with both of his hands tucked deep in the pockets of his trousers. He was so dazzling that every person on the road couldn''t help but noticing him. But his stone-cold face kept them far away from him. Spark gave J a thumbs up. It was the first time that he saw Daniel acting so mad since he first started working for him, three years ago. The ck Bentley slowly followed the tall young man. When they were near, J suddenly kicked Spark out of the car. She now was sitting on the driver''s seat and stepped on the gas. The Bentley stopped before Daniel and blocked his waypletely. J pulled down the window and whistled to Daniel, who still wore that stone-cold expression on his face, "Bro, c''mon, get in the car!" She looked more like a gangster than a girl. Daniel closed his eyes and tried to suppress his fury, "Get the hell out of my way!" "If I leave, how will you get to thepany? I''m embarrassed to take your car and leave you out here!" said Jane. The man sneered. Would she really feel embarrassed? J had nothing else to do but get out of the car and personally open the back door for him, "Mr. Si, please get in!" Daniel ignored her. He had no time to y any sort of games with her. He then managed to pull her aside, closed the back door, climbed in the driver''s seat and drove the car by himself. J and Spark now stood together, watching the car disappear in the distance. "Spark, does Daniel hate me that much?" Asked J with a gloomy voice. But Spark was careless, and didn''t notice her mood entirely, "Of course, just look at Daniel''s face. I''m sure he wants to send you off to Siberia!" And as a result, J didn''t went to work that day. Instead, she went to look for a pastry shop. In the Military Region of C Country A group of men wearing military uniforms stood around a desk, and urged, "Bill, hurry up!" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Why are you being so slow. Let''s see what your goddess wrote." "She wrote a letter to you! So... romantic." Bill was so excited, but just stared with nk eyes at the envelope Jordan gave him. Finally, somebody couldn''t bear the waiting any longer. He took the envelope and opened it. Before Bill had time for any reaction, the letter was read in a loud voice: "Bill, your cousin Brian is so handsome. Could you please introduce him to me?" Suddenly, the dorm went silent for a moment, and Brian, who was outside the room, stopped his pace. "Hahahahaha." The whole crowd erupted withughter, but only Bill stared at Brian with an aggrieved, specific look on his face. He was so stupid to ask his cousin, who was more handsome and had a higher ranking position than he had, to deliver the letter for him. "Colonel Han!" "Colonel Han!" shouted the crowd. Loud greetings rang out one after another when Brian stepped in the room, and then everyone fled to their posts. Bill walked towards Brian, and then shook the letter in front of him, "Brian, tell me the truth! Did you seduce my Jane?" "Who is Jane?" Bill shook the perfumed letter again, and said, "J Shao!" But, suddenly, Bill changed his expression and tone. He now looked at Brian with excitement, "Jordan, is J pretty?" Chapter 29 How Could You Fall in Love with My Girl Chapter 29 How Could You Fall in Love with My Girl Brian nodded, and said, "She was, indeed, pretty." "She''s nice, and she''s loyal to friends, and radiates with kindness and generosity. She is all that''s good and kind in my heart, " said Bill. ... Of course, beauty lied in the eye of the beholder, and in our case, in the eyes of the lover. Brian nodded and agreed with him, "OK." But Bill''s face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Brian, do you also like Jane?" "Well, I don''t dislike her, " replied Brian. A soldier never lied. Bill felt disappointed and stared at Brian with even more confusion in his eyes. He then spoke, "I should have never asked you to help me send the letter. How could you fall in love with my girl?" "Anyway, she isn''t your girlfriend. How can you say that, " said Brian. Bill was speechless after he heard Brian''s words. ''Is ''Jane'' her infant name? It quite fits her because her voice and body are as soft and delicate as her name...'' Brian suddenly turned his back and walked away before Bill had finished talking with him. Bill got even more confused, and wondered what had happened to him. Maybe only Brian knew best about what was going on with him. At the SL Group When Daniel returned to the Secretary Department,ing from the meeting room for the third time already, he found that J was still not at her desk. "Spark, please inform Miss Shao that her three days'' sry will be deducted from her ount if she is absent for one full day." "Ok. Mr. Si." J, who was sitting by the roadside and staring at the skyscraper buildings, received Spark''s call. Spark told J all about what Daniel had just said. "Only the three days'' sry... Yeah, whatever!" replied J. She still had no concept of money, and replied with indifference to Spark''s warning. Spark hung up and felt very disappointed. ''She is, indeed, a spoiled princess, and doesn''t seem to have a care in the world regarding money problems'' thought Spark. He told Daniel what she had said over the phone and then quickly left his office, as he saw that Daniel didn''t utter a single word in reply. Because she didn''t find a suitable shop for her, J still had to go to work. However, she was now was very excited and full of grand new expectations, because tomorrow was her pay day. After all, the job at the SL Group was the first she ever had in her life. And after getting her sry, she was going to buy her father a... A tie? A wallet? A suit? She also wanted to buy her mother a set of DQ masks and her brother a watch. She wanted to buy her great-grandmother a... J carefully drew a n in her head, with a pleasurable feeling in mind. She decided to go shopping the moment she got her sry. But... At lunch, while J looked at the text message she received from the bank about her sry, she lost her appetite. "Dear SL Bank customer, your debit card with the tail number of 6688 has received an SL Group sry. The total amount is 5 dors. The current avable bnce is 3, 000, 030 dors." ... ''Ah! How could Daniel be so mean?'' she thought, ''How dare he cut so much out of my sry!'' J was very angry and rushed straight into Daniel''s office. Daniel, who was also having lunch, saw the angry expression gleaming in J''s eyes and immediately understood what was going on. When he put her sry sheet and the pile of reprimands in front of her on the desk, J checked them with disbelief. She felt there seemed to be nothing wrong with her sry, and still tried to calcte her sry with her phone''s calctor. It was, indeed, 5 dors after the amount out of the reprimand notes was deducted... When he saw J leaving his office, Daniel somehow felt a little sad. When J discreetly left thepany after work that night, she could hear her colleagues, who were walking behind her,ughing at her: "Do you know J''s sry for thest month? Ha Ha... It''s so funny!" "Of course I do. Everyone in thepany knows it! It''s the first time I''ve heard of such a low sry. It''s really unbelievable." "Actually, she could have received a higher sry from the SL Group, but she couldn''t obey the received." ... J managed to hold back her tears for long enough until she got to her car and started driving slowly on the road. While she looked at the bustling city in the early evening, J reflected on herself and wondered if she was a bit amiss with herselftely. J was lost in thought and drove into an alley. When this had just came to her mind, she saw a woman at the roadside, who was about her age, with a child. The woman, who carried the child on her back, was standing at the roadside, selling... Cookies? ''Are those cookies?'' she wondered. J couldn''t be sure of what the woman was selling. She pulled over to the curve, and walked up to the woman''s stall. "Hi, would you like to buy some cookies?" asked the woman. The woman looked at her with kind eyes; her child had fallen asleep. J nodded, and asked, "How much for one cookie?" "Two cookies cost one dor. How many do you want?" J had never suffered any hardships in her life, so now she was very surprised when she heard the woman''s words. She stared at the cookies and still couldn''t believe that she could spend only one dor on two cookies. She had never eaten cookies so cheap. The cookies she ate were either made by her family members or the house servant. At the very least, she could buy cookies straight from the hotel. However, in the hotel it cost more than ten dors to buy just a single cookie. "Miss?" The woman with her child on her back looked at J, who was now in a daze, and greeted her again with the same confusion as she did before. "Oh! I want five dors'' worth of cookies, please." J took out her purse from her bag, but she didn''t have any small bills. She took out a one hundred dor bill and gave it to the woman. When she saw the bill, which was worth of a lot of money, the woman took off her disposable gloves, and said to J, "I need to check first if I have enough change to give you back." "It doesn''t matter. You don''t have to give me back the change. I just want the cookies." "That''s not right, " protested the woman, "I can''t receive that much money from you. Please wait a moment." After she took out some money from her shoe box, and got several dors more out from her pockets, Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. the woman finally raised the 95 dors change for J''s bill. J carried the cookies packed in a food bag, lost in thought for a while. The first sry that J had ever received in her whole life was worth five dors. After she pondered this for a while, she finally took the five dors'' worth of cookies to the old house. Hoping that her family would not be ashamed of her failure, J sniffled and tried to smile as usual. When she opened the old house''s door, she greeted her family: "Great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, John, I''m back from work!" "Jane, you''re back! Come over here, " said her great-grandmother. "Jane, have you juste back now from work?" asked Samuel. He gently hugged his daughter when he saw her. With John in her arms, E squinted, and then asked, "Jane, are you tired?" J shook her head and then walked up to Melody to hug her. Vincent and Vi, who were helping prepare dinner in the kitchen, also came out when they heard that Jane came back from work. "My lovely granddaughter. Come here, let me hug you" said Vi. J quickly put out of her mind the miserable feelings she was having from work; she was now enjoying her family''s warmth and love. However, when Vincent asked about the food bag in her hand, a morose feeling suddenly seized Jane''s face. "Great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, I am sorry." Jane lowered her head to the ground, which confused her family. They suddenly became silent and looked at each other, not knowing what was really going on. "I have received my first sry today, but I just got..." She even felt ashamed of spitting out the words. When he saw that Jane was depressed, Samuel also felt distressed and hugged her andforting her: "Jane, No matter how much the sry is worth, it is your hard-earned money. You never have to feel sorry about it." J nodded, and said, "Father, I just got five dors. I used all my sry to buy you these... cookies." Chapter 30 Youre Just A Spoiled Child Chapter 30 You''re Just A Spoiled Child After a moment of silence in the living room, Melody broke off the silence first: "Come to me, my dear great-granddaughter. Let me have a bite out of the cookies you bought." "My Jane is so great. She really can earn money herself and bring cookies for us." "I haven''t had the chance to eat this kind of cookies, let me have a taste, too, " spoke her father. "Ha ha ha, these are the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted in my life, " said her grandfather. ... J couldn''t help but shed tears. She had now made up her mind that she had to work harder and harder to earn more money so that she could take care of the elders in the family. In the evening, E was so deeply moved that she posted on Weibo: "My spoiled daughter got her first sry ever today. Though the sry was very low, she bought the most delicious cookies for her family. Jane''s changed. My baby''s so great!" But somements ridiculed her: "Isn''t your daughter over twenty years old now? Howe she can only earn money for cookies? How did the Shao family raise their daughter up anyway?" When E saw thisment, L already had an answer for her: "Is it that wrong for a girl, who just graduated from college, to earn her first sry ever?" But, among the few bad ones, there were also manyments that were positive and deeply moved E. She returned her thanks by replying to each, one by one. "Jane is Mr. Shao''s daughter, she can get any investment from her father if she wants. But she choose to work her way up from the bottom. What''s wrong with that?" onement read. "The man who ridicules others is only just another sour grape, " anotherment read. L called Daniel, and although he said that the poor sry was because of J''s mistakes at work, L still scolded Daniel for a good amount of time. Then she called E, and exined to her why J''s sry was so low. E thought that it was alright, "It''s OK, just give her the chance to learn more things. And again, there is no need to favor her in any way." Now the child had finally stepped into the society, and learned about it and how it really worked. It was better to experience it for herself, rather than being under the careful guidance and protection of her parents. But J was, in the end, Samuel''s beloved daughter, and for the whole night his heart felt distressed at the thought of her daughter working, and so decided that she was not allowed to go to work any longer. E tried to persuade him, but failed in changing his mind. Finally, she said, "Let''s ask Jane about her ns tomorrow. Isn''t that a great idea?" At Royal Mansion No. 9 The man, dressed in his white shirt, held a ss of red wine in his hand and, standing in the balcony, he looked at how the city was now unfolding in the distance under the cover of night. His mobile phone screen was still lighted after he had finished talking with L. Then he took a look at All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. E''s Weibo post. He found J''s user ount from E''s followers on Weibo. ''Her mother E had posted on Weibo, but J, the chatty type, still kept her silence, '' thought Daniel. But, soon enough, J also posted on Weibo: "I know how awful I look now." Attached to this message was a selfie, in which she was wearing a pink nightgown, after she had just taken a shower, and she was covering her mouth with her hand, like she was in some sort of awe. The look in her eyes was pure, and indeed kind of nifty. Daniel couldn''t help but clicking on the pic and downloading it. She seemed to be very popr around her fans, and soon received dozens ofments on her picture. Daniel looked around through thements and found only one which was negative: "Yeah, you''re just a spoiled child." Daniel browsed the man''s Weibo page, and eventually found out that the owner of this ount was a guy called Jeremy Su. He called Spark at once, and ordered, "Get Jeremy Su''s Weibo ount cancelled." He drank all the red wine left in his ss, clicked on thement and then typed some words: "Everybody has his ups and downs; she also has some good, strong points. Such as her loveliness, her purity, in some way..." Thinking of what happened in the morning not that long ago, Daniel felt his throat suddenly bing hot. He went back to the bedroom, poured one more ss of red wine, and drank it all in a gulp. He randomly threw the phone on the bed and then went into the bathroom. However, because of Daniel''sment, J''s Weibo was now stirring. No one on the website had ever seen Daniel Si actively writingments to others. He usually just forwarded his family posts or anything rted about business. "The CEO, Mr. Si, actually wrote here. Not a fake one, the real Mr. Si, " onement wrote. "Please, tell us what is your rtionship with Mr. Si, " asked anotherment. "This is the Weibo of Samuel Shao''s daughter, J Shao." ... In less than five minutes, J''s background information was instantly exposed by the horrible paparazzi inte users. But, at this moment, J was still working on the design of her future shop at theputer, and didn''t have a clue yet about what was happening on her Weibo. Before Daniel hadmented, J had only a few hundred of fans on Weibo. But now, because of hisment, the number was boosting in the thousands, and it was still growing by the minute. Soon enough, some of the employees from the SL Group gossiped online that J was actually Daniel''s fiancee and future wife, a rumor which was confirmed by L herself. J had now be famous because of Daniel. Then, another group of inte users (that seemed to have sprung out of nowhere) told everybody that Daniel''s girlfriend was actually Kate Song, the CEO of Changsheng Co., Ltd. In just a shower''s time, Daniel now became the bad, mischievous man, who had two girlfriends at the same time. The media didn''t dare to interview Daniel, and so they called Spark, but couldn''t get any further detailed information out of him. Then they had to focus on these two girls and find out what was really going on. J finally found out of Daniel''sment from a call of one of her former ssmates from the university. She was in shock for a while, but then immediately checked her Weibo. When she saw the amount of 300 000... That was a lot... They were so crazy... ''What had Danielmented that made everyone go so crazy about?'' She didn''t open all thements; it was enough that she was reading the first topment which, indeed, hade from Daniel''s personal ount. What he wrote made J quite the happy girl, and her heartbeats instantly hastened in her chest. ''Is he really encouraging me? It seems he doesn''t really hate me as much as I thought, and maybe I do have some advantages that he really likes about me. Is this what he meant?" she thought. J was indulging in her joyfulness for a little while longer and then she continued to read the Why had Daniel be a bad man? Then she found out why. Someonemented on her Weibo that Kate Song was his girlfriend and J was his fiancee. ''Now I see...'' J checked her messages and there were more than 99 messages waiting her to answer. Many journalists and media men were now asking her if Daniel really had two girlfriends at the same time, and what was her rtionship with Daniel like. ''What should I do?'' ''What should I do?'' ''Should I answer their questions?'' She was pondering on what to do when someone suddenly knocked at her door. E entered her room. "Mom, haven''t you gone to bed yet?" asked J. She sat up from her bed. "Have you seen thements on your Weibo?" asked E, "And a lot of people have also texted you, right?" E had experienced something like this before. Years ago, when the public found out about her rtionship with Samuel, she also had received a ton of messages on a daily basis, asking her this and that. J nodded. "Ignore them for the moment. Let Daniel himself deal with this. If you do something wrong, you might bring even more trouble to Daniel, and it''s not worth the risk." Seeing what was happening on Weibo, E came to remind her daughter to be more cautious and not make the same mistakes as she did. Jane had been studying abroad these years and had kept a low profile, so few people knew who she really was. Jane had made her first steps into society and had never experienced something like this ever before. "OK, mom, I understand." Chapter 31 Hans Family is a Military Family Chapter 31 Han''s Family is a Military Family E took her daughter''s hand into hers, and said, "Jane, I'' not forcing you in any way. If you really don''t want to be with Daniel, then don''t. I just read hisment in your Weibo profile. Well, it seems that Daniel doesn''t hate you after all. He just doesn''t... know how to express himself." Daniel was just as cold as his father, in both personality and expressiveness. They were, gically speaking, nearly 90% alike. When she heard that Daniel didn''t hate her after all, J''s face suddenly flushed red. What was wrong with her? Unless... "I know, mom, " replied J. E talked with her daughter for a while longer and then went back to her bedroom. "Have you talked to her?" Samuel hugged his wife. E nodded: "I don''t think Jane hates Daniel. On the contrary, I think she really likes him." She could tell by the fact that J''s face had turned red when she spoke to her about Daniel. "You''re to me for all of this. Why do you still insist that the two be together? Daniel is just like Harry, and you know very well how L suffered because of him!" He wouldn''t let his little girl suffer in any N?velDrama.Org owns this text. way. If she were to find the one she really loved, he wouldn''t have cared if he was either rich or poor. When Samuel was done talking, E remained silent. She pushed his arm away and turned her back to him. After all these years of living together, he knew what would happen if he disagreed, and so Samuel sighed, and said: "I am sorry, dear. Let''s make it happen then!" He hugged E again and coaxed her. "I''m not saying that the two must be together. Just think, wouldn''t it be better to marry our Jane to someone that lives nearby?" asked E. Leroy Manor was nearby, but Daniel''s mansion here was even nearer. "Okay, okay, you''re right. We''ll marry her to someone that lives nearby, and if Daniel ever dares to bully her, I''ll teach him a lesson he won''t forget." "That''s what I said. They could give it a try, and if it won''t work I''m not going to push them to do it." E had felt wronged and now looked at her husband. Samuelughed, and thought that although she was almost 50, she still acted like a child. Samuel kissed her, and said, "Sleep well. We''ll have to choose first a convenient wedding date for Jerry and Sally." "Okay." At the SL Group A girl in a white short coat, navy blue shirt, jeans and canvas shoes, and who was carrying her backpack, walked through thepany''s gates. She swiped her phone and looked at Kate''s live report and saw that Kate speaking in an interview: "Miss Song, are you really CEO Si''s girlfriend?" "Miss Song, when did you and CEO Si first start dating?" "Greeting Miss Song, ording to someone, you once slept in CEO Si''s vi. Is that true?" ... Upon hearing the interviewer''s questions, Kate wasn''t nervous at all, but on the contrary, she acted properly, and said, "Thank you for your attention. We are fine now, and if there will be any other good news, I will inform all of you immediately. Thank you." She didn''t admit anything, but she also didn''t deny, which made people question what was happening even more. Kate was heading towards thepany when the reporters assaulted her with their questions. She didn''t say goodbye to them until she arrived the main entrance of the building. J was soon bored and closed the live report. Just when she locked her phone, she suddenly heard somemotion near her: "Look! Mr. Shao''s daughter, J! Hurry!" Within a minute, J was surrounded from all sides by dozens of media officials, which were a lot more than Kate initially had around her. She had been just looking looking at Kate''s live report, and now all of a sudden it was happening to her. J''s first action was to be bbergasted. She failed to understand what is going on at once. In the past decade and also in her adulthood, Samuel had protected J wlessly. Samuel had taken care over the years to never reveal Jane''s straight out to the public. Even when she went to school abroad, in America, the fact that she was his daughter was still hidden. "Miss Shao, Mr. Simented your Weibost night. Is it true that you are his fiancee?" "Someone said that you are the fiancee of Boss Si, and this was confirmed by his own mother, Mrs. L. Is this true?" "Miss Shao, your father and brother are famousyers, and your mother was a popr actress. As their rtive, what do you think you will end up?" "Miss Shao, you are now working in the SL Group. Are youpeting with Miss Kate, and if so, does the prize consist of marrying CEO Si?" ... Each question was sharper than thest one. J had never faced this situation before in her life, an now her heart beat rapidly and her face turned white when she saw herself surrounded by dozens of microphones and cameras. "I... I am not." J shook her head innocently and, with her mind now turning nk, she didn''t have a single clue of what to say next. The interviewers didn''t intend on letting the fresh grad go off so easily, and more questions assaulted her. "Miss Shao, when you were studying in America, you majored in baking. General Han''s grandson, Bill, was also in the college as you were. When you graduated, he proposed to you in an entric manner. Why didn''t you say yes to him?" "Could you please tell us of your rtionship status with Bill?" "Will you marry to Si''s family or Han''s family?" "Or, is Miss Shao dating two men at the same time for the fullest advantages?" ... This was out of the line, and J''s face had nowpletely turned pale. She took a deep breath, and answered, "I am not! Do not start a rumor about this! We are just friends, that''s all! Han''s family is a military family. Do not tarnish their reputation!" These interviewers realized that they indeed have asked the wrong question and changed the subject at once: "What about Boss Si? You''re his special assistant. Your rtionship must go a lot deeper than this." "We heard that your brother, Mr. Jerry Shao, will marry Sally Si. Is that true?" All the questions were shot like bullets, J was unable to dodge them. What could she do? Eventually, she said, "Please move out of the way, I will bete. If you keep asking, I will sue you for prying in my own privacy." s, J was too young to handle the pressures of the media. Her threat didn''t work. "Miss Shao, we just want to know who Mr. Si''s girlfriend is, you or Miss Song? Or you both?" ... Not that far away, a man was watching the girl being surrounded by the reporters. But no one, except him, had noticed her pale face and the confusion leaking out of her eyes. Chapter 32 She is More Like a Sister to Me Chapter 32 She is More Like a Sister to Me By now, Daniel had made up his mind on what he had to do. "You''d better ask me. I know more." A man''s severe cold voice rose behind the reporters and saved J from breaking down in a flood of tears and frustration. During these moments J saw Daniel like a charming prince, riding on a white horse,ing straight to her rescue. When they saw Daniel, the reporters instantly dropped J and turned to him instead. Soon, Daniel was also assailed by the reporters. Daniel was cold, but confident in his attitude. He answered every one of the sharp questions the reportersunched at him without even blinking or changing his expression. He and Kate had something inmon indeed, which were confidence, generosity, frankness and simplicity. However, Daniel was too straightforward, and he threw out a reply which stunned all the present reporters: "Kate is my girlfriend. As for J, her parents are my sworn parents. She is more like a sister to me." The security guards finally came and prevented the reporters from asking further questions. Daniel and Spark walked together into thepany, protected by the security guards. As he passed by J, who was now dumbfounded, he casually said to her, " Go now. Do you want to be devoured by these annoying reporters?" ... J finally came to her senses and started keeping up the pace with Daniel and Spark.N?velDrama.Org owns this text. She didn''t even notice that she had stepped into the CEO''s private elevator. Spark looked at Daniel and waited for an order. Daniel then cast a nce at him and then Spark pressed the button for the 88th floor. In just a few minutes, Daniel and Kate had been be the top trends on Weibo. Their names had be viral on all search engines. The whole morning, J waspletely lost at what Daniel had said in front of the reporters, "As for J, her parents are my sworn parents. She is more like a sister to me." Since Kate Song''s name had been such a hot search topic, someizens soon dug out her engagement to Leon Feng. As Kate''s father read the breaking news, he immediately called Leon to break off the engagement. Though he was very angry, Leon became silent on hearing what Kate''s father had to say: "Do you dare steal Mr. Si''s girlfriend?" Leon didn''t want to ruin his future, and he sure would not bite more than he could chew. Therefore, if he was ever asked something about the engagement, he would deny itpletely. Kate and Daniel''s rtionship now had be public, and she sessfully broke off her engagement to Leon. Having this burden lifted, Kate was now feeling light as a feather, like she walking on air. As she was now feeling in such a good mood, she decided not to lower herself to J''s level. At the Leroy Manor, L trembled with anger at her son. The news came like a p in her face. Her son had nowpletely lost Jane, forever. How would she exin this to Samuel and E! "Honey, stay calm, don''t be mad, " said Harry. He put down his newspaper and consoled his angry wife as best as he could. "Harry, just look at your ''clever'' son and what he just did, I... I''m never going to forgive him!" L banged her hand on the table and immediately decided what she should do next. Harry stepped towards his wife and then held her by the waist, "Don''t worry, " he began, "Daniel must know what he is doing. Why don''t we give him a chance and wait and see." What was done could not be undone. L and Harry had swapped their positions. Harry, who used to be so strict with his son, now had to speak for him in front of his mother, who used to often forgive him and generally be a lot softer with him. "Wait and see? Everyone now knows that Kate is Daniel''s girlfriend now. Do you want to wait until she bes your daughter-inw? Would you be happy then?" L could not restrain her anger any longer. She loathed on taking another woman other than Jane as being her daughter-inw. Harry shook his head, "Jane is better than Kate. I too hope she eventually ends up with Daniel." They had seen Jane grow up from the little girl she was in her childhood, to the grown woman she was now. Certainly they knew best about her. "Exactly, but we have to do something about this! "Daniel is 25 years old; he is still young and hasty. What if he gets Kate pregnant? If this happens, we won''t be able to do nothing about it." L''s worries made sense. However, Harry had another perspective on things. He had faith in his son. He walked his wife to the couch and exined to her carefully, "Look, they haven''t seen each other for 7 or 8 years. Is that right?" L nodded. When he was a student, Daniel still had that teenage restlessness. "To my knowledge, Kate met Daniel four years ago on a fashion show, in which I am not going into details. The point is, in the four years that passed up until now, Daniel has kept Kate away. There were many chances for them to get together, but Kate has still never been to Daniel''s mansion. And as for Jane? She hasn''t seen Daniel for 7 or maybe 8 years. But she crossed paths with him as soon as she returned from the USA. They kind of re-acquainted with each other, right? On the very first night they had seen each other again after all these years, Samuel called and told us that Daniel had kissed Jane. And on the other night, didn''t Daniel take Jane to his mansion? I also asked Sven about what really happened thatte night. And ording to Sven, Daniel asked Spark to drive Kate home. As for Jane, she was too drunk and unconscious, and Daniel took her to his vi. On the second morning, we already knew that Jane had slept over at Daniel''s." Harry''s exnation gradually calmed L down. "Maybe they haven''t realized their affection to one another. It''s a transitional period. Every couple is faced with transition and adjustment periods. If we push them too hard, they will eventually rebel on one another. You know how your son is. He never listens to us, " said Harry. All right! What Harry said did, indeed, make a whole lot of sense. L felt immediately more relieved. "What should we do next?" asked L. "Next? We just take a firm stand and watch, " answered Harry. L shook her head and shook her head, "What if Kate is as vicious as Ynda and Catherine were? Jane will be utterly screwed then." And, indeed, L was right. A jealous woman is horrible. On a second thought, Harry added, "We''ll keep Kate far away from Jane. Samuel also has the bodyguards protect Jane. And if you still worry about her, I''ll have more guards put on duty to protect her." "All right, well, there is no better way." L secretly sighed. What had just happened wore her out almostpletely. She was done talking about Daniel, and now she had to worry about Nicole, "Well, Sally is getting married, but nothing''s happening with Nicole! She''s in herte 20''s and still hasn''t got a boyfriend." Nicole was actually the one she was worried most about. "Don''t worry about it. Just let it be. I''m her father, and I can take care of her if she ever needs me in the future. Just take it easy. Nicole needs time to find the one she really loves. Give her a break, she''ll pull through." Chapter 33 Jane Was At the SL Group Chapter 33 Jane Was At the SL Group Their Nicole was a cheerful and lovely girl in her childhood, but now, in herte 20''s, she had developed into a stone-cold belle. She behaved very cruelly and indifferently in general, just like her father was in front of outsiders, but was active and outgoing like L in front of her other rtives and friends... L jumped into Harry''s arms with a depressed look drawn all over her face: "I really regret having so many children, Harry. We now have to worry about everyone. I would have never dreamed that the most naughty of them, Sally, was gonna be the first to actually get married!" But L didn''t expect that her obedient Sally would run away. Sally ran away on the date of their wedding photo shoot, leaving a letter behind. The two pair of parents stood in shock. Before long they found out that Jerry had actually taken Sally away all by himself. They didn''t take wedding photos, but instead went straight to the Department of Civil Affairs and procured their marriage certificate. On the 88th floor, in the secretary division of the SL Group Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. J was listening to the secretaries talking gossip, and Spark ignored them as if he didn''t hear anything. "It turns out that she''s a phony fiancee." "Some say that J Shao is just a spoiled little princess, but without any advantages." "Her parents seemed to be happy that she got a 5 dor sryst month!" "They are rich people, they don''t care about money. She must have a hidden reason to be the assistant CEO." ... J just doodled on the paper and left them gossiping. The A4 paper was soonpletely covered with meaningless doodles drawn all over it by J. There was a turtle in the middle, along with the words "DS Bastard!" The gossip suddenly now suddenly stopped, and the paper in front of J was taken away, "Mr. Shi, I''ve already ssified that document" cried J. "What does DS stand for?" "DS means Daniel Si." Thinking of Daniel being painted as a turtle made J smile. The man next to her got furious, but J was out of space, in a world of her own. "Miss Shao loafed on the job and also insulted the boss. You''ll receive a reprimand and a fine of 1, 000 dors." Em? J suddenly regained her consciousness. She turned her head around and saw Daniel dressed in a white shirt and looking ruthlessly at her with cold eyes. She immediately wanted to snatch back the A4 piece of paper, but it was toote. J forced herself to exin: "I... I''ve already finished my work. Can''t I have a break?" "No, you can''t!" The little girl scowled and rolled her eyes at him, "You''re an evil capitalist!" "Miss Shao contradicted the boss at work, again..." "Fine, OK! I''m sorry. I''m working now." J was really troubled by Daniel''s cruel words. She tore up the piece of paper, threw it into the trash bin, rested her chin on her left hand and then began ying on theputer. "J Shao, you are going to attend the military training with the trainees the day after tomorrow!" warned Daniel. After saying it, he proceeded to leave. Military training? The day after tomorrow? Her period woulde the day after tomorrow. "Mr. Si, can I attend the military training two dayster?" She was too shy to speak out, because she was ashamed of others to know. She usually felt cramped in the first two days. "Excuse, " demanded Daniel. J''s face turned red. "A secret that can''t be shared, " she said. The man didn''t even turn his head around, "No." And then he entered his office. J bent over the desk and felt even more depressed. Even if she was more like a sister to him, she had never before in her life seen such a cruel, heartless brother! The secretaries secretlyughed and then began gossiping again. No matter what they said, J never refuted it, which made things be even more aggravated. The whispering behind J''s back had now be a cried out full frontal mockery. "She must think that if she is Mr. Si''s sister she has to have her personal privileges." "A secret that can''t be said. What literary style! Hahaha." ... "Enough! Shut up! You are so annoying! You bitches!" J banged the pen she was holding in her hand onto the desk and stared at the secretaries furiously. Then Daniel isted J as if she was a bad student not behaving in ss. He asked Spark to move her desk to the innermost corner of the office. In a military region, C Country "Count off!" "1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7! Over!" Brian, who was followed by two service soldiers, looked at the outstanding special soldiers with satisfaction in his eyes. The monitor next to him stood upright when he saw him, "Colonel Han, the special soldiers are now prepared for the training. Please advise!" "Good. Who are you going to train today?" While he was on inspection duty, he saw several special soldiers with backpacks on them and asked where they were heading to. "Colonel Han, we are going to the suburb of the northern area of the city and will instruct 21 trainees of the SL Group!" Brian raised his voice and asked, "Whichpany did you say it was, soldier?" "Colonel Han, we are going to instruct 21 trainees of the SL Group Company!" repeated the monitor. Brian''s stare went nk for a moment. He then demanded on the monitor, "You stay here. I''ll take them there." His words made the soldiers forget about the discipline. They looked at each other in surprise. The colonel would apany them to instruct the trainees? What was going on? Brian was in the position of deputy regimentalmander. Was it because the boss of the SL Group was a tycoon? "Are you sure, Colonel Han?" asked the monitor in surprise. Brian nodded his head and then waved his arm towards him: "Go back and do your own business. I''ll take care of them." "OK. Colonel Han." The monitor left in parade step. Although the military discipline was strict in the army, the news that Colonel Han brought the special soldiers to instruct the trainees passed through the whole army almost in an instant. Bill, who was having lunch at that time, immediately ran out of the canteen after he heard the news. He found Brian, and who was just about to salute inly, "Brian." Brian took a nce at him and felt awkward after he remembered something. Then he looked straight into Bill''s eyes and said, "Say it." "Brian, who are you going to train?" asked Bill with longing eyes. Brian packed his clothes into the backpack, "The SL Group, the suburb in the northern part of the city." Jane was at the SL Group. "Brian, is it because of J Shao?" Although Bill was young, he wasn''t stupid. Brian stopped for a while, but didn''t try to deny it, "Do you know whether she will participate in the training?" he asked. Bill shook his head. He held Brian''s arm, and spoke with a sad look on his face, "Brian, I know Jane is a good girl. But please, let her go. I''ll die if I''m not going to be with her." Brian frowned at his arm and shook Bill off, "Take three steps backward, solider. Stand upright in standard military posture!" Billplied exactly with what Brian said. "Chin up, chest out, stomach in and hips up!" ... Bill now regretted contacting Brian. "Brian, take me with you! What about... a fairpetition between us?" and then Bill winked at Brian. Chapter 34 From Now On We are Rivals in Love Chapter 34 From Now On We are Rivals in Love After he briefly nced at Bill, Brian continued to pack his things, and said: "Just be obedient and stay in the military camp and maybe J may note to the training. I''ve heard that now she''s the assistant CEO. Do you really think it is necessary for an assistant CEO to join the training?" ''Assistant CEO?'' A severe, cold face came to Bill''s mind, and then suddenly called out a name: "Daniel!" ''Is Jane Daniel''s special assistant? ''What is Jane doing? Why did she choose to work as an assistant CEO at the SL Group in a domain that doesn''t even matches with what she majored in?'' "And, " began Brian. He remembered of a piece of entertainment news which he had just seen by chance, and said to Bill, "I''ve learned a rumor which is widely spread on the inte that J is actually Daniel''s fiancee, but Daniel already announced that he has a girlfriend. After all, it is, very Bill was unconvinced, an while he curled his lips, he said, "It is just a joke. Jane just graduated and it''s impossible for her to be Daniel''s fiancee." Brian looked at Bill, and said, "You should go back now. If you still want to write to her, I can help you send the letters." Bill didn''t write to her any more, because thest letter Jane sent him had already broken his heart. He got disappointed at the thought of it, and still trying to rx, he said, "Brian, from now on we are rivals in love." He had to train himself hard and continuously strove to get rid of his father and grandfather''s control. In this case, he could get a lot of time to go after Jane after he gained his freedom. ''How does Bill know so much about Jane?'' thought Brian. He suddenly became serious, and shouted at Bill, "Get out! If you dare say another word, you''ll have 100 push-ups as punishment!" Bill felt even more distressed now and left. While passing by the training field he started running like a Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. madman, eager to be quickly armed with twenty pounds of heavy burden and to begin the cross- country running. He now had to train better and work even hard in order to be a full member of the military at an earlier time. When he would manage to get a higher ranking position than Brian''s, and have the upper hand, only then he could go after Jane and betroth her. But would Jane also be willing to wait for him so long? In the northern suburb of the city Samuel personally took his daughter to the camp and sighed when he saw the camp''s strict and tough condition. He tried to persuade his daughter again: "Jane, you can return home with me. You don''t have to go through such hardships." J waved her hand at him, and said, "Father, I''m not a child anymore, and I have decided I want to undergo the military training." "Do you remember the time you fainted during your junior high training? I''ll be worried sick about you if such a thing happens again." J, of course, remembered. She had fainted because at that time she was also on her period like she was now, and because she was sitting under the zing sun for over two hours. "Father, I feel healthier after all these years. I won''t faint again." And she was right. After several years of careful nursing, her overall condition had improved during her period. She couldn''t be as weak as she was in junior high. Samuel failed to persuade his daughter, so now he had nothing left to do but leave. Before his departure, he spoke to J, "You have to take good care of yourself here, and call me immediately if there is anything you need. Also, I''ve sent some guards here for you, and you can ask them anytime to help you if you find yourself in any sort of difficulty or distress." "Father, I don''t want any guards or any help. Please let them go. I''ll be safe here from anything or anyone bad." J nced at the woods in the near distance and thought that it would not be dangerous since the J sighed, and thought to herself, ''s! I''m an adult now, but father still takes care of me as if I were a little child.'' Samuel looked again at the group of interns in the near distance and found that they were constantly staring at him and his daughter. Samuel thought for a little while and still felt worried about J. "Um. I should be going now, " he said. He drove away alone, leaving the guards with Jane. After she found her tent, J briefly arranged her stuff and thenid in it to rest for a while. As she learned that the training wouldst for a full week, J had taken the precaution of being totally prepared and brought plenty of stuff along with her. In the early evening, thepany gave each employee a set of camouge clothing. They had to wear it when they were gathered together the next day. While J was wearily checking the information on her phone, she heard a conversation of her two colleagues in the next tent: "I''ve heard that our instructors are special soldiers brought from the city headquarter. They must be very handsome, for sure!" "Yeah. I also learned from my manager that there would also be a military officer present!" "Military officer? But military trainings are always organized and conducted by somemon squad leaders or smallpanymanders, right?" "Who knows? Whatever; just as long as he''s handsome!" "Ha-ha! You''re dreaming too much. Since he is a military officer, he must be a middle-aged man with a certain qualification and experience earned over the years. And speaking of years, I''m guessing he may be forty or maybe more, fifty!" "Yeah, you''re right." While she was listening to their conversation, J thought over what she had just heard a moments ago and believed that this aspect didn''t really matter at all. Whether he was just an instructor, or a military officer, she still didn''t know him. The next morning, just a little after dawn, a series of loud whistles woke J out of her deep slumber. She looked at the time with her eyes still half-closed, only to find that it was just five o''clock in the morning. She was perplexed, since she had never risen up out of bed so early! A man shouted outside their tents in a resonant voice: "I will give all of you half an hour to prepare yourselves and gather together on time at 5:30. If you are a minutete, you will have to run one kilometer as punishment!" After he finished talking, all the people in the tents started to loudly get up and panic. J sat up, half-asleep. She rubbed her disheveled long hair and began to regret her choice, ''Why did Ie here to torture myself? I''m so crazy. Why didn''t I stay home and sleep in?'' At 5:10, J had already put on the camouge clothing and staggered out of the tent. While she saw that the water supply area was packed full with her colleagues, also dressed in camouge clothing, she decided to go back and get someter! J felt that she was still drowsy, even though she woke up. After getting back to her tent, she somehow fell asleep again. J suddenly woke, startled by the harsh sound of the whistle, and then climbed out of her tent only to find that the others had already gathered together on the open space in the near distance. ''Oh my god. I''m so screwed!'' She quickly fastened her belt, put on her camouge shoes, and then ran out of the tent towards the gathered team. While she saw that all members had started to count off, she had to stand at the end of the line. "1, 2... 21." J was so scared that she waste, but in the end seeded in calling out her corresponding number. However, she still looked different from the others. J was surprised to find that she forgot to wear her uniform''s camouge cap... A military officer, who stood in front of the training members, looked at them and gravely spoke, "Good morning everyone. My name is Brian Han and we will spend the next seven days together and on the tough training course ahead..." It didn''t matter what he said next; J had stopped listening to him altogether. She couldn''t believe that the world was so small that she could meet Brian here! She stared at the instructors, who were standing in the front row, and found that it was indeed Brian who had taken the lead! Brian nced at J and then quickly looked away, as if they wereplete strangers. Next, it was time for the instructors and the interns to introduce themselves to one another. Brian stood aside and saw the seven instructors and the interns make their self-introductions. When it was J''s turn to introduce herself, everyone looked at her. J felt depressed, and believed that it would not be a good idea for her if the new colleagues got to know her. "Hi, everybody. My name is J Shao and I''m 22 years old. Nice to meet you all!" In fact, she was just unwilling to meet someone who disliked her. This time Brian dared to look another time at J, who now attracted everyone''s attention and seemed to be their only focus. Chapter 35 Shut Up Chapter 35 Shut Up After J introduced herself, no one apuded. She took a deep breath and knew this was all happening because of Daniel Si. Everyone was hostile to her because all of those rumors. Brian apuded first, followed by the instructors. Seeing Brian and the instructors apuding, the rest of the people started pping their hands one by one. Then Brian began to distribute 21 trainees to 7 instructors. A male colleague, a female colleague and J were distributed to an instructor called Zed Lin. All trainees stood in front of their own instructors and started familiarizing themselves with them for a while. Then, Bian demanded, "Everyone, tidy yourselves up. Gather here in five minutes and then start marching." J returned to her tent, took her hat and then ran to the water source to wash her face. She had no time to wash her face with a cleanser. After wiping, she applied the toner, cream and sunscreen. When J was fitting her hat, she heard the whistle blow again. She ran to the gathering ce rapidly and saw that all seven instructors were wearing the same military uniforms. She was confused, because she had now forgotten which one was her own instructor... "J Shao, what are you doing? Go back to your team quickly!" Her confused face looked lovely. Brian''s powerful voice surprised everyone. Everyone was surprised by Brian''s good memory because he remembered a trainee''s name after the first introduction. After all the people went to their corresponding teams, J saw that Zed was staring at her. There were only two trainees behind him, and for a moment J was suddenly inspired and started running towards him. When she passed him by, J carefully watched Zed. Zed was embarrassed to be stared at by a girl, and his swarthy face even blushed a bit. J then stood behind him after she memorized his face. Brian saw that J kept pretty much to herself and wondered why. She was bright and lively, but umunicative. Why didn''t she join the others in conversation? "The first activity starts now. Five kilometers of marching!" After Brian''s order, everyone cried woefully. Although everyone already knew that they would be in for some rough time, they didn''t expect to march five kilometers on the first day of their training. J stared at Brian, who looked serious, and thought, ''Did I hear him right? Five kilometers?'' Oh my god, she would certainly die from exhaustion! J couldn''t help but to step back and was just about to escape. When she was just about to run away, Brian stopped her. "J Shao!" he yelled. Everyone now stared at J with a doubtful look in their eyes. J smiled in embarrassment and drew back her neck, "I..." She didn''t finish her words, but Brian knew immediately what she was going to do next. Brian kept his hands behind his back and then got close to Zed, "J Shao, you fell out of line!" J touched her right ear and now stood in front of everyone. "We haven''t even started marching yet and you already n to escape. 20 push-ups as punishment!" ... 20 push-ups? J, now bbergasted, looked at Brian, who had a dead-serious face, and wondered why this handsome soldier had now be as annoying as Daniel was. "I refuse to do it. I have the right to choose!" J stubbornly looked at Brian. Brian was on the verge ofughing when he saw J''s face, but quickly held it back. "Military orders are imperative. You have no right to refuse it!" answered Brian. "I have personal liberty. This is not military training. This is devil training. We are employed by a financialpany, not a military unit! I''m not a soldier!" Many trainees agreed with her words and began to talk more about the matter in a low voice. Seeing the situation at hand, the director of the HR Department began to scold her: "J Shao, if you continue to disobey the colonel any longer, I will report you straight to the boss!" Report to Daniel Si? J rolled her eyes in disgust. Brian made a gesture to the director. He had rich experience in dealing with these disobedient recruits: "J Shao, if you refuse to do push-ups alone, then the rest of the people here must do the push-ups together with you!" "J Shao, you can''t do this to us!" "J Shao, as an assistant CEO, you should act on behalf of the boss!" ... The trainees now began to criticize J with grievance against her. J sighed, took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, took off her hat and then threw it onto the ground, and said, "Shut up! I''m doing it!" Then she went down to the ground and began to do the push-ups. "1, 2, 3..." She already felt a little ufortable. "4, 5, 6..." Even more cramped and ufortable. "7, 8, 9..." She couldn''t hold on any longer. "10, 11..." J fell on the ground. Brian was at first startled and was just about to check on her if she was alright, but immediately held back. After two minutes, J was still groveling on the ground and gasping for breath. She was wondering why she was so weak, even after all these years of diligently practicing Taekwondo. "J Shao,e on!" Zed encouraged her. He med Brian a little bit for this. Indeed, it was OK to be strict with the soldiers. But it wasn''t OK to be so strict with a feeble girl. 20 push-ups were far beyond her capability, and he knew it. "J Shao,e on!" The other two instructors began to encourage her. J smiled at them, pushed up on the ground and continued counting. "... 18, 19, 20!" And then J fell on the ground again. But now apuse started sounding all around her. "Take a five-minute rest, then start marching!" ordered Brian. He squat down and lifted J up on her feet. But J obviously didn''t seem to ept his help. She shook off his hand and returned staggering on her own legs to her team. Brian smiled with indifference. However it was, inevitably, people started to use J of not discerning the good from the bad. Because of this, they lost some time, and began to gather again. And then they began running towards a mountain. At first everyone ran fast, but as the time passed, several people were left behind. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. J was one of them. Since she had stopped practicing Taekwondo, she hadn''t exercised for several years. Little by little, she gradually became thest. Brian followed her and ran with her at a constant speed, "How are you feeling?" He looked at Brian, who now looked a little bit more paler. But J shed an angry look at him and then ran away from him even faster. Her speed was three times faster than before, and soon she rejoined the team. However, after two kilometers, she fell behind again. Brian stayed closely by her side while the rest of the people quickly advanced past them. ''J Shao, why are you so weak? Come on!'' "You can take a rest if you feel tired, " he said. Brian felt... a sort of heartache. He began to wonder if he was indeed being too harsh with her. After all, she was a just little girl working in a financial firm, not a soldier in the trenches. Chapter 36 Janet Again Sought Personal Privileges Chapter 36 J Again Sought Personal Privileges J shook her hands in denial when she heard him. She then boldly put her hands on her hips and kept on running. But, after another one kilometers, she dropped out exhausted again. J was too tired to run and now stood still, gasping for breath. She stared at the enigmatic Brian, and asked him, "Why are you following me? Do you want to make fun of me again? ... Upon hearing this, Brian suddenly didn''t know what to say next. Was he being spiteful in any way towards her? He squatted down to her, and said, "Let me carry you." She then suddenly stopped gasping for breath and looked at the man in front of her aghast, and said, "What are you doing?" Brian looked back, and replied, "If you don''t hurry up a bit, there won''t be anymore breakfast left for you." "No, no. I can do it." J shook her head in dismay. She was afraid that if her colleagues saw Brian carrying her, they might then look down upon her. But, nheless, Brian lifted J up and ran with her forward. "No, Brian, stop! I forgive you for the push-ups you asked me to do. Put me down, now!" J''s face flushed bright red. She wanted to push Brian away, but didn''t know where to put her hands first. "Easy now. I''ll put you down if someone spots us, " said Brian. J fell silent; he seemed to know what she was thinking all the time. Was she that obvious? But she didn''t want Brian to carry her. "Brian, you don''t have to carry me. You''ll get tired, too. Please, put me down, now!" "It''s OK. Marching for five kilometers is a piece of cake for me. I can carry you and run for tens of kilometers more." J became more and more anxious by each passing moment when Brian refused to put her down. She wanted to struggle and escape, but found that her legs were tightly buckled under her and that she was also deprived of any strength to do this. Finally, what she feared most, happened. One of J''s colleagues saw Brian carrying her... Brian put her down immediately, and J found she had regained her strength again. Seeing her colleague staring at them in shock, J knew she was unable to wash herself clean this time. J didn''t know how to exin all of this, and so instead she ran away quickly. The farther she ran, the more of her colleagues she saw. Everyone looked at J suspicious when she quickly ran ahead of the team. Brian couldn''t help but smile when he saw the little girl in front of him. They had finally ran the five kilometers, and their destination was actually the starting point from where they initially began their run. Lying in the tent, everyone was too tired to talk, but the gossip about J spread around quickly. They not only talked about it in the tents, but they also rted it to their other colleagues working in the And, not before long, the wholepany now knew that J was carried by the instructor. In the meeting room of the SL Group Two employees were gossiping about J and then spread it to another employee in vivid details. "Holy shit! Really? J Shao is such a slut! She even hooked up with that instructor in just a couple of hours!" "No, I heard he was a colonel, not just a little instructor!" "Why does a colonel have to train them personally? Does he participate in the training just for J Shao''s sake?" ... Cough! Cough! A warning cough sounded, and the three employees instantly panicked when they saw who the people behind them really were. "Mr. Si, Mr. Shi." After they greeted Daniel and Spark, they immediately scattered to their work desks. Daniel nced with indifference at the three employees, and demanded, "Spark, employees who gossip in thepany must be downgraded to lower positions or suffer pay cuts. If they are caught for the second time, fire them directly, without hesitation!" "Yes, boss!" Spark then opened his MacBook while walking to his desk, and was just about to send an email. In the meeting room All thepany''s managers were in the meeting room. Daniel strode inside and mmed the documents he was carrying in his hands hard against the table. The managers were too scared to even breathe. "Start reporting the work from the Secretary Department. If there is any loophole or poor performance in any department, I''ll fire the manager!" Facing Daniel''s fury, the managers discreetly wiped the beads of sweating out of their foreheads. They were all guessing who annoyed him. Daniel had fired three managers in that meeting, from the Secretary Department, HR Department and Public Rtions Department. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Everyone in thepany had been terrified for thest several days because of Daniel''s fury. They were afraid a disaster woulde crashing down on them at any moment. In the suburb of the northern part of the city After standing in the standard military posture for two hours, all the people were now taking a rest. An instructor divided them into male and female teams, and then they started singing. Except for Brian, there were 28 people in the camp, including the instructors. There were 12 women and 16 men in total. J sat in thest row and felt more and more depressed, and Brian sat behind her. Hearing the girls happily taking with the instructors, J looked up at the sky and wondered for how long could she take it anymore. There were too many differences between the school environment that she was used to and the working conditions she was now put to. She was popr in the school. And although not everyone liked her, she still had a lot of friends. But after she entered thepany, no one wanted to be her friend anymore, and she didn''t have the faintest idea why. A colleague, sitting opposite to her, agreed with another''s request and began singing Charlie Puth''s "One Call Away". J lowered her head and wagged it with the rhythm. Suddenly, J felt something was terribly wrong. She immediately stood up and wanted to report it to Zed, but Zed was singing, and was unable to hear her. J now had to turn her back around and report it to Brian instead, "Sir, I need to go the washroom." Brian nodded and then J quickly ran to her tent. She took something with her out of it and then ran to the washroom. "See, J again sought personal privileges. She didn''t report to Zed, but directly reported to the colonel instead." "I knew it! I don''t understand how a good man like Samuel Shao could have a shameless daughter like her." A tall figure was now standing behind the two colleagues who were gossiping, and they lowered their heads. It was Brian. After J came back, she saw that two of her colleagues were doing push-ups. She was confused, but didn''t think much of it and returned back to her ce. She had to endure the next couple of days and not to be a deserter. Except for J, who felt more and more depressed, the rest of her colleagues spent the next three days in happiness and joy. They weren''t trained at night, and there were no ces to charge their phones. So they just sat around the bonfire, chatting andughing. After J went out of the washroom one night, she saw some fireflies, not that far away from her. She shook off the drops of water from her hands and went towards the fireflies, ignoring her aching body. But just when she arrived, they flew away. She sat on a rock and felt morose. Seeing the fireflies flying round and round, she suddenly remembered of someone. Chapter 37 Would You Like to be My Girlfriend Chapter 37 Would You Like to be My Girlfriend J couldn''t even remember for how long she had been so depressed. She felt even more disgusted at the thought that Daniel and Kate might be out on a date together. She remembered that E had once told her that she was actually the one that sought after Samuel, and that the chase had been, indeed, very painful. And J was now in the same position as she was years ago. She also had a crush on Daniel, but she didn''t want to swallow her pride and go after him. She loathed doing things she didn''t agree with from the start. But what should she do then? Touching her aching abdomen, J wanted to return to her tent, but she couldn''t make a single move forward. She heard the sound of footstepsing closely to her and then a man sat down next to her. He looked into the same direction that J was looking, and asked, "Aren''t fireflies beautiful?" J nodded and thought to herself that these simple fireflies have a lot more beauty in them than a man carrying just an ugly heart. "What happened to you these past couple of days? You seem sad!" She looked confused, like a little rabbit which couldn''t find its way back home. She felt more and more morose. She buried her head between her knees, and answered, "I''m OK. Thank you for your concern." Brian looked at the fireflies and asked, "J, do you like Bill?" "Em? I like Bill because he helps me a lot." Obviously J had misunderstood Brian. Brian pulled up some des of grass and yed with them. After a couple of minutes, he asked J straightforward, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Cough." J almost choked on her own saliva, and the shock brought by Brian''s words even made her forget about her aching stomach. "Brian, you... we... we''ve just met each other for a few days. Why would you say that?" Brian looked her in the eyes, and said, "It takes just a moment to fall in love with a person." ... J''s heart was beating faster. In such a romantic setting, and after a handsome soldier had just told her that he loved her, it was pretty hard for her to calm down. However, J said, "Brian, I seem to have fallen in love with someone." J''s words broke Brian''s heart. He was not a little boy anymore, but he had spent most of his time in the army, and seldom had free time to spend with girls. His father had demanded of him to attend blind dates. He met with several girls, but no matter how pretty they were, he had no attraction or feelings towards them. He now finally had a crush on a girl, and also didn''t mind that she was several years younger than he was. But she refused him, and Brian gave a wry smile. He sighed, and asked, "You seem to fall in love with someone else... Are you sure of it?" After all, she was just a little girl. "No, I''m not sure." J wasn''t sure whether she loved Daniel or not. Sometimes she wanted to beat him to a pulp, but sometimes her heart beat faster just at the thought of him. She hated his cold and arrogant character. But she liked the way he kissed her. "Is questionable love the same as love? Of course not! Does he love you?" Remembering Kate Song, J shook her head, and said in despondency, "He already has a girlfriend." She didn''t know why he kissed her since he hated her. Did he just y with her? When thinking of these things, J felt even more depressed. Brian was a little excited, and thought that maybe he still had a chance. "Since he already has a girlfriend, he doesn''t love you for sure. J, don''t yearn for someone who doesn''t love you. You should find a man who loves you and cares about you." J knew that Brian was right. "Brian, do you know what they think of me? That I''m just a spoiled little princess. That I''m over 20 years old now, and that the first money I ever earned were only 5 dors. I don''t cook. I don''t do any housework. I only make trouble for those around me." To tell you the truth, I know all of my disadvantages, and I''ve never wanted to correct them. No one would fall in love with a girl like me. The only people that love me are my parents." Daniel hated her, andst time they met he didn''t even want to stay in the same car with her. Brian felt pity for her and couldn''t help but tofort her, "Only servants cook and do the housework. You''re the spoiled little princess. That means everyone likes you and is willing to spoil you. You''re a troublemaker, but I also think you are lovely. J, you''re not really that bad as you think you are. In my eyes, you''re perfect." J looked at Brian, eyes turning red. No one had ever talked to her this way, except for her family and Sven. Brian was the first person who was willing tofort her. She felt Brian''s warmth, which was alike Jerry''s and Sven''s. But that wasn''t the warmth of love. She had refused Bill before, but he was much better after two days, no matter how sad he was of the news. But Brian and Bill were different characters. She didn''t know Brian at all. "Sorry, " she said. She didn''t know what else to say. The man gave a bitter smile, and patted her head, "Don''t say you''re sorry. You do everything right." J remembered when Bill confessed that he loved her, but didn''t know what to do. At that time she had been afraid to tell her mom about it. So she asked Daisy, and Daisy said, "If you don''t love him, you should refuse him without more ado. A vague attitude would harm you both." That''s the reason she refused Bill without further ado every time. And now she had to also refuse Bill''s cousin, and she didn''t feel at all proud of herself this time neither. She took a deep breath and then looked Brian straight in the eyes, "Brian, what you just said... makes me feel the warmth of a brother instead of a lover. Brian, can we be good friends in the future?" Brian nodded, "Don''t worry about it. Anyway, I couldn''t really spend that much time with you after all because I''m busy with the army. But I confessed my true feelings to you, and I hope I haven''t upset you because of this. I feel much better now. It''s OK, don''t worry about it." It was night outside, and J couldn''t see the emotions hidden in his eyes by the dark. After hearing Brian''s words, J felt more relieved. "It''ste. We should be heading back!" J stood up from the rock she was sitting on. The night was dark indeed, and she hardly saw the road under her feet. Suddenly, she slipped and fell straight into Brian''s arms. A cry sounded not far away, "I saw nothing." Then, they heard the person run away. J suddenly lost her words. She was now afraid that the gossip about her would never stop, or at least not in the near future. What a lousy misfortune! Chapter 38 Why is There One Person Missing Chapter 38 Why is There One Person Missing While he helped J get back on her feet, who was now startled and had fallen straight into his bosom, Brianughed out loud, and said, "J, just follow your own course in life and let the others bber all they want! A clean hand needs no washing. So don''t be sad and upset when others talk about things they have no idea about in the first ce." ''Brian is right!'' she thought. J then looked on the bright side of things, and walked towards the camping area along with Brian. At the underground parking lot of the SL Group It was rush hour and many cars were steadily parked one by one on the parking spaces. A woman got out of a ck Volkswagen and restlessly knocked on the window of a Chery car parked next to it. An employee got out of the car, and asked, "What''s up?" "Madeline, I just learned a fresh piece of news about J from one of the interns. Have you heard it?" "What news? Tell me, please! I won''t get another chance to learn it if we enter thepany." The woman called Madelin closed her car door and then started to gossip with excitement. "I heard thatst night J and Mr. Han entered the woods and stayed there for a long time. A colleague of ours, who was just taking a walk in the woods, was surprised to see..." "Tell me, quick!" demanded the other woman. "...Mr. Han holding J tightly in his arms. And, just while they were kissing, they were suddenly interrupted by her!" "Oh my God! They stayed in the woods for that long and were still kissing even after they had been discovered? Anyway, Mr. Han is, after all, a military officer, so J is very lucky to have him as a boyfriend!" ... When they nearly finished talking about the hot topic, the two women dared to walk towards the The employees were now kept under strict surveince on thepany''s grounds, and the ones who were caught gossiping were now instantly punished. They had talked outside thepany, indeed, but someone who was near them at that time, and who they couldn''t see, had heard all of their conversation. A man smoking a cigarette sat in a Rolls-Royce with the window rolled down. The cigarette had already burned out and had almost burnt his hand, but the man didn''t seem to feel nothing at all. He just stared at his documents in the car while Spark, who sat in the front seat, was afraid to even take a full breath of air. He was staring at the same page for several minutes, lost in thought. After putting out the cigarette butt, which had now burned his hand, Daniel put away the document, and told Spark, "Ourpany now pays more attention to this small batch of interns, and now I have to inspect their military training status at once." Spark was silent, and wondered since when had Daniel started to speak with him in such an indirect fashion. Daniel had found a good enough reason and it was normal for the others not to know what he was going to do next. But Spark firmly believed that if he couldn''t get to know Daniel''s true goals and purposes then he definitely wasn''t qualified to be his special assistant anymore. "OK, Mr. Si." When they heard that Daniel was soon going to inspect the intern''s military training, thepany''s employees started to get restless and immediately contacted the person that was in charge with them in the suburb. But, after they called several times, they still couldn''t get in touch with the person in charge there. Maybe it was because the suburb was so remote. They tried calling over and over again but to no avail. The employees in thepany were very anxious and very worried that, if Mr. Si saw that the interns were undisciplined andzy during the military training, his punishment would be more than severe with them. At the Northern suburb of the city The weather was hot that day, and all members took a break on the spot for ten minutes after the war game. After that, they began to practice standing at attention. Brian had already noticed that J was starting to get really pale, but he couldn''t do anything to help her because of the rumors that were spreading about what had happened between him and Jst evening. He also couldn''t sit next to her to help her, so he just had to let all of them take breaks again and again. Within only 10 minutes of standing at attention, J began experiencing shortness of breath and dizziness, and soon didn''t even have the strength to inform the instructor of her condition. When Jordan saw that J couldn''t keep to her feet any more, he quickly ran to her help, choosing to ignore the gossips. While J struggled to keep her eyelids open, she saw Brian, and cried out two words enfeebled, "Excuse me..." After this, she fainted, not knowing what happened next to her. Brian helped J, who was about to fall, stand up on her feet, and cried out her name, "J!" Even after he cried out her name for several times, she still didn''t wake up. Other colleagues of hers also panicked when they saw J suddenly faint, and so they gathered around her to see what had happened to her. Brian held J in his arms, and said, "I''ll take her to the hospital." He ran towards his military vehicle, but suddenly a Rolls-Royce, which seemed not to belong to that ce, stopped next to him just before he opened his car''s door. Without thinking too much, Brian opened the backseat door of his car and put J, who was cked out, on it. When Brian got out of his car, Daniel saw the girl on the backseat of the military vehicle. Daniel was a little surprised when he looked at her. When he was about to get closer to make sure that she was, indeed, J, Brian had already closed the car''s door and was ready to drive away. When she saw that Daniel showing up unexpectedly, the Personnel Director asked all interns to stand at attention at once and walked up to him to greet him alone. "Mr. Si, here you are!" Daniel looked at the interns, who were standing at attention, and found that J wasn''t there! "Why is there one person missing?" asked Daniel. Um... To the Personnel Director''s surprise, Daniel had asked this question first, which made her freeze on the spot because she wascking a proper answer for it. Only after Spark winked at her did she start to stammer: "Mr. Si... J... She just fainted earlier, and Mr. Han took her to the hospital for proper care." ''She just fainted?'' Daniel, who still looked sober as usual, walked up to the instructors and shook hands with them. After that, he spoke to the interns who were standing at attention: "Please keep working hard during the training and you can earn a double sry for these days. The intern with the best performance will immediately be a regr employee in ourpany''s staff." When they heard Daniel''s words, all of them thanked him and got so excited that they almost jumped up out of their shoes, "Thank you, Mr. Si!" "Thank you, Mr. Si!" replied another. They spoke their thanks one by one, not in unison. Daniel nodded at them and then left with Spark. "Spark, please drive faster." "Spark, haven''t you eaten breakfast today? Why are you driving so slow?" "Spark, step on it!" demanded Daniel. ... Spark was now cold sweating. He was driving very fast, and he boldly said to Daniel, "Mr. Si, you''ve just asked me to drive downtown as fast as possible, but you haven''t figured out yet in which hospital J is..." After a moment''s silence, Daniel impatiently replied to him, "Just shut up and check it for me!" In the military hospital All people present were surprised to see Brian running into the hospital with a woman in his arms. "Please help me! Ask Mr. Wan toe here!" The orderly nodded and immediately ran to Mr. Wan''s office. Brian took J to the examination room and Mr. Wan hastily came in. "Please help! Check what''s wrong with her!" demanded Brian. Mr. Wan was surprised when he saw the pale little girl on the bed and nced at Brian with a meaningful look in his eyes. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "She''s not a member of the military, " he said. Without answering to him directly, Brian, who was very worried, impatiently said, "Don''t ask me too much. Just check on her, quick!" Mr. Wan was surprised to see Brian this anxious. He had known Brian for more than ten years, but had never seen him so upset. Brian now seemed to be losing his temper more than ever, and it was just for a woman. Mr. Wan switched on his instruments next to him and picked up the stethoscope in his hands. Brian worried that he would disturb him when he was trying to determine a diagnosis, so he left the examination room and decided to wait outside. Ten minutester Brian, who was waiting outside, immediately walked up to Mr. Wan when he saw hime out of the room, and asked, "What''s wrong with her?" After he took off his gauze mask, Mr. Wan shook his head, and replied, "It''s nothing serious. She just gets weak because of her menstrual cramps. She''s also exhausted, that''s why she fainted." ... Brian had a swarthy face which now turnedpletely red as he blushed. "And what is there to be done?" Brian had never taken any women to the hospital, so he knew nothing about this. Mr. Wan looked at him, and joked, "Who is she? Your girlfriend?" Chapter 39 Come and Tell it to Me Face to Face Chapter 39 Come and Tell it to Me Face to Face "What''s with all this nonsenseing out of you? She''s just a friend." Brian stared at him and spoke like he was going to quickly lose his patience. "OK, then. Just let her take a good rest and give her something nutritious to eat for her health when she wakes up." Brian finally eased up on his tension when he was assured that nothing serious was affecting J. After two o''clock in the afternoon A Lamborghini SUV car parked in front of the military hospital''s gates, and a middle-aged couple walked out of it and hurried into the hospital. "Wee, but this is a military hospital and entry for unauthorized people is strictly prohibited." Two soldiers stopped them in their tracks when they were about to enter the hospital. "The patient in Room 506 is my daughter, J Shao." E gave Jane''s room number. They didn''t know that Jane was sent to a hospital until L told them what had happened. The two soldiers looked at each other: "Wait a moment please." Then, one of the soldiers ran inside and quickly made a phone call. He returned within two minutes'' time, and said,"Please wait here, Mr. Han ising right now to receive you." Samuel was so concerned that he could hardly wait any longer. "Call Mr. Liu, the hospital''s director, and tell him my name Samuel Shao." E held on to Samuel''s arm, and said to the soldiers,"It''s no need. Someone is alreadying, right? We''ll just wait here." No sooner had E finished speaking her words, and Brian, who was dressed in his military uniform, quickly ran up to them, and he asked them,"Hello, are you J''s parents?" Then he guided Samuel and E courteously into the hospital. "How is my daughter doing?" Samuel stared at Brian and was already trying to guess the rtionship between his daughter and the man in front of him. "Don''t worry, J is just... it''s nothing serious." Before Brian finished speaking, E already understood. As her mother, she knew her daughter well enough, and immediately understood what had happened with her. In the patient''s room J was now up and was drinking her ck chicken soup. "Dad, Mom!" When she saw Samuel and E, J put down the spoon in her hand and hastily got out of bed and walked towards them. "Jane, how are you feeling?" Samuel held her hands and scanned her from top to bottom. "Dad, don''t worry, I''m OK," said J, with her arms gripped around Samuel''s neck. "Nothing is wrong with me, except for a little tummy ache," she continued. "You, silly child! Why didn''t you tell me in advance that your period wasing? If I had known this, I definitely wouldn''t have allowed you to join the military training!" E used to know when Jane''s menstrual period came. But then Jane went to America and she lost track of it. "Mom, Brian brought me some ck chicken soup, and I feel much better now after drinking it." "Young fellow, thank you very much for your help!" E delivered her thanks to Brian. Brian put aside his cap and smiled at the two elders,"Mr. Shao, Mrs. Shao, nice to meet you. I am Brian, J''s friend." Brian''s attitude was so modest that he left a very good impression to Samuel. They shook hands with each other. "Dad, he''s Bill''s cousin, and grandpa Han''s grandson!" Samuel, knew, of course, who grandpa Han was. He was even more satisfied with Brian now when he knew that he was the grandson of General Charles Han. "Oh, Brian, I was one of your uncle''s ymate for several years in our childhood. And your uncle has also helped me a lotter on, over the years, and also your grandfather offered me great help. How is your mother doing?" Samuel knew that Brian''s father had passed away, and that his mother had be so disheartened that she was not in the best of her mental health. "Thank you, Mr. Shao, my mother is much better now and is doing therapy abroad." Samuel and Brian chatted with one another at one side of the room. J finished her soup in front of E, and E saw Brian''s military uniform. His military grades indicated that he was a middle-ss military officer. "How did youe to know each other?" She looked at her daughter with doubt. "I got to know him through Bill, and Brian also was my military training leader in thesest couple of days." J spoke honestly. E nodded, and then heard theughtering from Samuel and Brian. They seemed to have a very nice talk and enjoying themselves. Then,ter on, Brian escorted J and her parents to the hospital gates, and then went back. On their way back home, Samuel forbade her daughter to go back to the military training. J had to promise this, and wondered if she should or shouldn''t tell Daniel. "Mom, can you please ask L to tell Daniel that I am not going to the military training anymore?" asked J. "Why don''t you tell him yourself?" replied E. She thought this was making things tooplicated. "I don''t have his phone number." She only knew his Weibo ount, and she thought that it wasn''t proper to send him messages on Weibo. E nced at her daughter and had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and call L. L told the whole thing to Daniel, and he answered,"Ask her to call me back herself." L told J all about Daniel''s answer on Wechat, and J replied to L, embarrassed,"Mother*, I don''t have Daniel''s phone number, and I''d better not talk to him." (*TN: sworn mother) Then she received Daniel''s private phone number, and his Wechat ount, and also some other N?velDrama.Org owns this text. chatting ounts where she could get a hold on him whenever she wanted. ... J hesitated for a while and then dialed Daniel''s number. The call soon connected, but there were no wordsing from the other side of the line, not even a greeting. She calmed herself and her emotions, and said,"Hello, Mr. Si. It''s J Shao." It was a very official greeting, and Daniel frowned his brows. But still there was no reply, and J was not happy with this. ''Does he have the least intention to talk to me?'' "I am not in the greatest of health, and I called to ask if I may be granted permission to skip the military training." Dead silence filled the air. Daniel didn''t say anything, but he didn''t hang up either. J didn''t know what was happening. "Mr. Si?" "You got involved in a dubious rtionship with a military officer during the training, which has had a bad impact on thepany''s reputation. Half of your sry will be cut off as punishment." ... J tightly gripped her quilt, and protested,"Daniel Si! Why do you treat me so stringently? Must you act so vicious with me all the time?" "J Shao, pay close attention to your manners!" Daniel could imagine her expressions and reactions on the other side of the line. "Daniel, let me tell you one thing: from this moment on, I resign from the SL Group!" Again a dead silence appeared after J''s words. Finally, a cold voice came from the other side of the line,"If you want to resign, that''s OK, bute and tell it to me face to face." J stood up in her bed instantly, and said,"No problem, Daniel! Just you wait!" J was so irritated that she actually forgot about one essential thing. She was only a trainee there, and had only signed a temporary contract. So, if she wanted to resign, she could just stop going to work. E was drinking a ss of water when she saw J rushing outside dressed only in her nightgown. She asked her,"Jane, where are you going?" J rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "Mom, don''t try to stop me. I have to end this thing with Daniel. He treats me horribly!" Chapter 40 Could You Not be Such a Bully For a Moment Chapter 40 Could You Not be Such a Bully For a Moment Do or die? E''s stomach dropped when she heard her and thought what was really going on between the two of them? "I''lle with you." "No need, mom. Go to sleep. His vi is just a few minutes away." J then changed her shoes and then walked out of the vi. On her way to mansion No. 9, J texted Daniel, "Wait for me. I''ll be there in two minutes. Open the door for me." But no reply... E now entered the bedroom upstairs, and struggled whether or not to tell Samuel that their daughter just went out. In the end, she picked up her phone, and called Daniel: "Hello, did Jane arrive?" "Yes, I just saw her now." Daniel opened the door of his vi and saw that J was staring at him with fire in her eyes. Samuel curiously looked at his wife and wondered where Jane had gone out. "Okay, you talk with her. When she decides toe home, I''ll ask your sworn father to pick her up." "Don''t bother mother*, I''ll give her a ride home." (*TN: sworn mother) Daniel dragged J inside and then closed the door. When E finished talking, Samuel knew that their daughter was with Daniel now, and so he stared at his wife discontentedly. E sniffed, and said, "Why are you staring at me? Jane insisted on going there." "Keep Daniel away from Jane." "Tell her yourself, if you can control her, that is." E sat on the bed and covered herself with the thin quilt. Samuel was speechless and now just stared at his wife. Now that this was his problem again, Samuel picked up his phone from the nightstand and prepared to call Daniel. "What are you doing?" asked E. "I''m calling Daniel to ask him to fire Jane." E snatched his phone from his hands, and said, "Never mind, that''s their own business. Let them take care of it by themselves." ... The No. 9 mansion was magnificent, a dream house that could belong only to rich people. It was the poor man''s dream and the rich man''s paradise. However, now, among the riches, there was something more going on in the vi. They two stared at each other like mortal enemies. "Here I am. And, by the way, I quit! Goodbye!" J said what she had to say and then proceeded to leave. This was outrageous, and she normally wouldn''t have done it, but now she didn''t care. She didn''t give a damn anymore. The man caught her by the wrist, and asked, "J, do you like Brian?" He should mind his own business. J then stared at him, "Don''t bother. Take care of your girlfriend and mind your own business!" "Answer my question! Now!" Daniel ignored her anger and asked her coldly. It seemed that he already knew everything that had happened in the camp. Seeing Daniel''s cold reaction, J just wanted to kick him. If he really didn''t want to see her, why had he asked her toe? And now that she was there, he treated her badly. What was wrong with him? So she answered him, with anger in her word, "Yes! Yes, I like Brian! What''s wrong with that? Is it any of your business?" Daniel loosened her wrist, and then asked, "So, have you already slept with him?" J''s head exploded and then her face turned red. "p!" She pped him the very moment he had finished uttering his words. The vi was inplete silence now. J saw Daniel''s dark face. She rubbed her now aching hand, "Daniel, you buthead!" The man gradually looked at her and harshly pressed her against the door behind her. He was all burnt up and stared at J, "I''m gonna kill you today!" he said. He then quickly dragged her by her wrist upstairs. "Let go of me, now! Daniel! You monster! I don''t want to go upstairs! No!" J struggled to free herself and couldn''t notice herself dropping her phone. She struggled so hard to free herself that Daniel resorted to lifting her up. He pushed open the bedroom''s door on the second floor and threw her onto the big bed, and J''s head hit the board hard. When Daniel was closing the door, J scrambled out of bed and got out of it on the other side. Daniel caught her easy enough. "Ahahah, I am sorry, I am sorry, Daniel!" It was now better to understand the current predicament she was involved in. To avoid being killed, J repeatedly pleaded to Daniel that she was sorry. "Toote!" Daniel threw her back on the bed and climbed on her. He untied his ck tie and was preparing to tie her hands to her back. J suddenly lifted her right leg and kicked him, aiming towards his groin. Seeing what she was doing, Daniel''s face turned dark, and he eventually managed to get a hold on her legs too. He leaned his body all over her and she couldn''t move at all. He tied up her hands and then stood up from the bed. He held her chin easily in the palm of his hand, and showed his teeth in a cold smile, "You dare to p me, eh? Me? You think you''re so good, don''t you? J''s face flushed with pain, and she cried, "Please, let go of me! I already said I am sorry." J felt proud of herself that she dared to p him. But oh, she was so going to regret it now. "No way! You think you''re bold? Let''s see what you can pay me for that p!" Daniel loosened his grip and pushed her down on the bed. Their bodies were only a few tenths of a millimeter apart, and Jane''s tied hands were now against his chest. J thought for a second and then changed her n, "Daniel, you have a girlfriend. It''s improper of you!" "It''s my decision! You can''t tell me what I can or can''t do!" ... "Could you not be such a bully for a moment?" J had never seen such a horrible bully, and she wasn''t regretting a moment of the p she gave him. "Just remember that if I don''t kill you, I''ll also die!" He would die because of the anger he had built inside him. Daniel thought he had made a right decision. If he killed her, then no one would ever dare to make him this furious again. His big hands gripped her neck and the intensity of the moment gradually deepened. J felt the fear of deathing down upon her. Seeing his vicious look in his eyes, she was now really scared. This wasn''t a joke anymore. ''Is it over? Am I really going to die?'' J gritted her teeth and lifted her head up to kiss him. She bit and nibbled on his lips, and Daniel was forced to let her go. The woman''s scent surrounded him, and her slippery silk pajama was against his bare forearms. The ambiance was now gradually growing from deadly to romantic. He loosened her neckpletely. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. He put his arms around her waist, and started to make the first move himself. "Hmmm." The woman slightly murmured. "Daniel, no." A strange feeling came all over her body and her voice started trembling. Daniel closed his eyes hard, and then clenched his teeth. ''Damn it, she dares to seduce me!'' "J, why are you so cheap?" he started, "Yesterday, you went after Brian, and now me? Hum?" His insult instantly turned J''s face pale. Chapter 41 Ill Beat You Up Every Time I See You Chapter 41 I''ll Beat You Up Every Time I See You ''I see, I am a bitch in his eyes, '' she thought. "Daniel, who do you think you are! The world doesn''t revolve around you! You can''t expect everyone to focus on you. Kate likes you because, maybe, she might possibly be blind and not see the real you. I''m telling you, you are a hateful man!" It seemed that time stood still again, and the romantic aura in the bedroom was now again reced by anger and gelid feelings. Daniel''s mobile phone rang again and again, but no one answered it. Her eyes betrayed her stubbornness while his eyes were of a cial cold. "J, if you ever dare to leave the SL Group again, I will destroy you." After he crudely untied her, Daniel stood up from the bed, and picked up his phone. It was Samuel. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then answered the phone, "Hello, father*." (*TN: sworn father.) He sounded normal, as usual. "Daniel, Jane hasn''te back yet, and I cannot reach her. Is she still there?" Samuel felt relieved when his call had finally been answered. "Yes, father, I''ll bring her back home." Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel saw her walking out of the bedroom; he followed her. "OK." He threw his mobile phone aside, and then strode to catch up with her. Now he was walking ahead of her. Both of them remained silent on the way back to her vi. Daniel didn''t drive, and instead just walked ahead of her, silently. Halfway there, he lost sight of her shadow. He turned his back around and found that she had stopped and was just standing in the middle of the alley. She remained silent. Under the light of the streetmp, she wore a nk stare on her face. She seemed to be overwhelmed by sorrow, and he had never seen her like this before. He put his left hand in his pocket, held her by the shoulder and then continued along the path. She tried hard to get rid of him and red at him as if he was some sort of arch enemy. Ignoring her stare, he continued to hold her by the shoulder and moved on. She tried again. "Fuck off, mind your own business! I know my own way home!" Daniel put his arm down, and then put it in his other pocket, "J, don''t be ungrateful." They looked like a couple having some kind of quarrel. Having been waiting for a long time, Samuel was so worried about his daughter that he decided to personally go out and bring her home. And, after just a few steps out of the house, he saw them quarreling. "Well, indeed, I''m ungrateful. Mr. Si, why are you here then? Don''t you remember that I have sleep with another man? Since you called me a bitch, aren''t you afraid that I will be a bad influence on you and thepany?" J sometimes, when she wanted, could be very sharp-tongued. Her harsh words left him speechless. "Jane, don''t ever try to annoy me again!" he replied. Daniel took a step forward and stood close to her, and J could smell the danger radiating from him. However, things were now getting ugly between them. She now had nothing to fear. "So what? Are you going to destroy me? Oh, Boss Si, I''m so scared... Hmmm." Under the light of the streetmp, Daniel shut her mouth with a kiss. E, who had also just left the house, and Samuel, were stunned when they witnessed the scene. J struggled. However, Daniel held her by her waist and pressed her tightly in his arms. She could not move an inch. She was forced to kiss him back on her tiptoes. Samuel, however, could not restrain his anger any longer. He was just about to give Daniel a good beating. But E stopped him and took him back home. They had kissed for a while and then stopped. However, J still continued to ask for trouble, "I heard that you are a neat freak. How do you feel when you kiss a woman who was kissed by another man? Is it disgusting?" Daniel already knew that she was asking for more trouble, and indeed she seeded. He got angry now, and with a cold voice, he replied, " As long as I''m your first kiss." J''s face flushed red. How did he know that? Oh, she had told him already! "Well, it''''s your first kiss too. It seems that I don''t get the short end of the stick. We''re even now." "It''s a pity that I''m not your first man as well!" He sounded calm. It was hard to read his emotions. When he talked about her first night, he sounded calm, as if he was talking about some dozens of dors or other businesses. She turned around to hide her now flushed face and, as if she didn''t give a rat''s ass, sarcastically said, "You, the 25 year-old CEO of the SL Group, are still a virgin?" It ought to have been a proud thing for him, but why did he feel so shameful when she said it in his face. He strode to catch up with her and then, holding her tight by her shoulder, and whispering wickedly in her ear, asked "Wanna try?" J''s flushed face now looked just like an apple. She pushed him away, " You mean you want to have sex with me? I''m sorry. I''m serious about my rtionship. You are not my cup of tea." They were now approaching her vi. Daniel was irritated by J again. His face darkened, "J, you do have a sharp tongue. But don''t forget what I said before. If you arete for work tomorrow, I swear I will have all of your private photos posted online and in the press." ... Dumbfounded, Jane stood still and watched him gracefully and arrogantly leaving back to his house. It took her a while toe to her senses again, "Daniel, you bastard! I will beat you up every time I see you!" She shouted so loud that she was almost out of breath. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. After a brief lull, a soft voice came from the door of the vi, and spoke "Jane, get back in!" Eh... J turned around and saw her father, Samuel. He looked angry, just the same as Daniel. "Hi, dad!" She ran upstairs immediately after greeting him. Ignoring Samuel''s calls, she closed her bedroom''s door and went straight to bed. Samuel was about to teach her a lesson, but Jane seemed to know about his next move, and ran straight away. Watching her running off, Samuel could do nothing but shake his head in dismay. She was now all grown up, and it was difficult to parent her anymore. On the balcony Daniel looked at the wine in the ss, recalling what J said before he left, "Daniel, you bastard! I will beat you up every time I see you!" Her words magically echoed in his ears. Fretful, he finished his ss and then refilled it again. His mobile phone rang, but Daniel didn''t bother to pick it up. Somehow, J''s face shed through his mind. He walked into the bedroom with the ss of wine in his hand and picked up the phone with the other. It was a message, which read, "How did you get my private photos? Tell me. Are you lying?" Daniel looked at the message with a sneer on his face. ''You are not that stupid!'' "Don''t forget that night, " he texted. His vague reply flushed her face in an instant. "Damn you! How could you even take photos of me without me noticing!" I will get back at you!" Ouch... ''My belly. It hurts. How strange. Why didn''t I feel anything at Daniel''s house? Why does it hurt now?'' ''Aunt Flo, why do you make me suffer?'' thought J. Chapter 42 Since You Are Pregnant Chapter 42 Since You Are Pregnant She then sent him a message: "You want me toe back to work? OK, but I need to take two days off first." "Are you sick? Got infected by Brian? I can understand." ... J gripped her phone tight in her hands, closed her eyes, gnashed her teeth, and rolled on the bed, soaked in anger. She was really mad at Daniel! "What''s the matter with you? Daniel Si, you just wait and see. Since you''ve asked me toe back to work, then you won''t me me for the havoc I''ll be causing there from now on." Seeing the message, Daniel immediately regretted his decision. He believed J Shao when she said she would cause havoc in hispany. "Behave yourself. Don''t forget that I have something on you!" After a long pause, Daniel decided to take a shower, but his phone beeped again. He immediately threw his bathrobe away and picked up his phone to check the message. "I need some time off, and you can just simply answer with a yes or no. What if something happens to me because I can''t take leave from work? Will you take the responsibility for it?" "No. I''ll take full responsibility if something ever happens to you!" ... J held her phone in her hands and felt like weeping, but had no tears. What a bastard Daniel Si was! "Asshole!" replied J, now fully disying her anger. "Thank you." ... J had to figure out a solution out of all of this. If Daniel did indeed have her photos on his phone, she was sure to be tortured by him from now on! She thought that she must get a hold on his phone at once. In the SL Group J indifferently entered thepany while everyone else had their eyes wired on her. She was all by herself in thepany, and no one wanted to be friends with her. J was too proud to make friends with people who looked down on her. The moment she sat down on her chair, her phone started to ring. "Shirley." It was Shirley''s call. Her next words made J scream: "What? You''re getting married? Shirley Zheng, are you out of your mind?" After bing aware of her sudden reaction, J gave everyone an apologetic look and then lowered her voice, "Hello? Shirley Zheng, you''ve only just graduated college for two months. You''re... pregnant!" She again raised her voice, emphasizing the word "pregnant". Daniel had just arrived at the office and stopped when he heard the word. ''Jane was pregnant? Pregnant?'' Daniel had no idea of this, but instead firmly believed that J was pregnant. He thought J and Brian had already had sex, and it was a normal thing to get pregnant. Daniel had no idea of how long it actually took to get pregnant after having sex. So he believed that his assistant, J Shao, was already pregnant. Daniel walked into the office, sat down and then overlooked the scenery outside the French window. After a long time, he called for Spark, "Bring J over." Spark listened to Daniel''s abnormal voice and looked at J with an pitiful expression, "J, the boss is asking for you." ''God bless you, young girl!'' Spark thought. "Me?" J was still shocked by Shirley''s phone call, and felt happy for her after all, after she thought it through. After all, getting married and bing pregnant were good news. Spark pitied Jane in his eyes, and she knocked on Daniel''s door. "Come in." All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. J walked in and closed the door behind her. When she saw Daniel, she was thinking how to snatch his phone without him seeing it. Daniel took out something, and then put it on his desk: "Since you are pregnant, you can resign and peacefully wait for your delivery at home. Here is a 1 million dor check. Take it as being your wages for this period." He was generous enough. From now on, they had nothing to do with each other. J was thinking of how to get his phone and was absent-minded about what he had just said. "Wages. What''s wrong with my wages?" J asked. She stared the phone all the time, and gradually walked towards it. ''Now or never. Maybe, maybe, I can just take it without him seeing me.'' Daniel took a nce at J, whose thoughts were far away. Obviously, she didn''t hear a thing of what he had just said. Looking in the same direction as J''s, Daniel saw his phone. He was confused. "Jane!" "Em?" She was now closer to the desk. "What are you doing?" J stretched out her hand and had almost got the phone, but a big hand took it away before she could seed. J immediately looked displeased and mumbled, "Penny pincher." "What were you going to do with my phone?" ''This young girl is weird, '' thought Daniel. He was talking about her pregnancy, but she was aiming at his phone instead. "Can I take a look at it? What brand is it? How much does it cost? Where did you buy it from?" J blurted out whatever words came into her head at the moment. Fighting for Daniel''s phone in round 1, she had lost! "It''s the same as yours." J got him lying. Indeed, J and Daniel used the same phone brand, but had different models. J awkwardly smiled at him and then changed the topic, "Boss, Spark said you needed to see me." Daniel was now speechless. Facing J, he could hardly control himself now. He repeated what he earlier said in an austere voice and then pushed the check in front of her. "Pregnant? Delivery?" J was getting more and more pissed and held her fists tightly. Then she gradually calmed down. "I already knew it. You can leave with the check, " said Daniel, who leaned against the back of his chair and then closed his eyes. J took a deep breath and then smiled, "Mr. Si, wait a moment. Since you are so nice to me, I have a goodbye present for you!" A goodbye present? Daniel didn''t even open his eyes and only waved her hands to hint that she could leave. J repeatedly told herself all this time, ''J, calm down. Don''t get mad! Kill Daniel Si with your angerter.'' The girl left the office and silence again fell in the room. She didn''t even touch the check Daniel had left for her on the desk. Ten minutester J suddenly opened the office door, walked in and then closed it while holding something behind her back. Daniel frowned when he saw her again. The girl ran towards him, "Daniel, close your eyes. I''ve got a surprise for you." Naive. "Just give it to me!" He had no time to y games with her! "Come on, Daniel. I''ll give you one more chance; work with me here!" J acted like a spoiled little child. Chapter 43 Youd Best Put Me to Death Chapter 43 You''d Best Put Me to Death Daniel frowned, and thought, ''Fine, I''ll let her act wild for ast time.'' He leaned back on his chair and then closed his eyes. Instantly, J''s face filled with rage. She took out what she had hidden behind her back and carefully walked around Daniel. "Mr. Si, hold on, it''ll just take half a minute''s time... Big surprise!" ... When Daniel realized that things weren''t going the right way, it was already toote. He felt something coiling around his body. He immediately opened his eyes when he felt the danger, but J was already tightening the rope which she had already twined around Daniel several times. Now, the man sitting in his boss chair couldn''t move an inch. "J Shao!" Daniel warned her with an ice-cold voice. J, who was now berserk in her rage, ignored his warnings, and again quickly twined the rope around his torso and arms. And, just in case, she even tied his legs. "J! You do know that you''re ying with fire now, don''t you?" Daniel''s face darkened, and he fiercely stared at J who was also raging in front of him. ''Why is she so mad about? Isn''t one million dors not enough for her? One million dors for just one month of work! She had already been offered way more than she really deserved.'' After tightening the rope even harder, J dusted off her hands. She dragged a chair nearby, and then sat down in front of him with her legs crossed. "Daniel, you scumbag! Bastard! Bully! Son of a gun! Pregnant? You''re the one who''s really pregnant! You''ve been for one, two, three months... And it''s now time for you to give birth! Daniel, wait and see how I''m going to teach you a lesson today." J stood up and grabbed Daniel''s pen from the desk in front of him. "J, I''m warning you! Don''t dare to do something wicked!" It was the first time for him to be thrown into such a difficult position, and the man was now so furious that he wanted to tear the girl into pieces. "Why did you say that I''m pregnant? If so, how would you know that I really am? Is it your child?" J took off the pen cap and came close to him. Daniel looked at this stubborn girl, and scornfully said: "Don''t you remember what you did with Brian, in the woods?" ''When did J start telling lies?'' Daniel thought with despise burning in his eyes. "Daniel, is your IQ score close to zero, or zero?" J looked at Daniel who, unbelievably, was a CEO. Even if she really had any sort rtionship with Brian, It had onlysted for two days. Was she some sort of alien creature? How was it possible that she could be pregnant in just only two days? "Oh, I''m sorry to disappoint you! My IQ score is 230!" Daniel felt proud talking about this. The girl scornfullyughed at him and shook the pen in her hand, "230? Are you serious?" The man''s face was now darker than a ck pan, and he struggled and moved his wrists with force, but the rope still wouldn''t loosen on his hands. Although she had been warned, J still approached him and drew a round circle on his forehead using the pen she had in her hand. "Daniel, you are really a fool. You should go and ask your mother first, how long does it take for a woman to know that she''s be pregnant? Do you think it takes only two days? Actually, you do, since you''re saying that I already am..." Then she drew one more line on his forehead. "Do you think I''m some sort of alien, arrived from Mars? Even if I had, indeed, really done something wrong, could it really be possible to be pregnant in just only two days?" Then J drew a smaller circle above the first one as a head, and then drew a tail, and then she fixed the drawing a little bit more. "J! Stop! Now!" Stop? J, of course, wouldn''t miss for nothing such a good chance at taking her revenge. "You dared to damage my reputation, and now I''ll teach you a lesson! Is a CEO really that great and untouchable? A CEO is also amon human being, oh! No, not amon human, but a bastard one! Ha ha ha." Daniel squeezed some words out of his lips, "J, you''d best put me to death now! Because, if not, you''ll see how I''ll punish you to death!" If he regained his freedom, one of the two would have to die. "Don''t worry, I won''t let you die, I''m not that cruel as you, " replied J. J added thest line of the drawing and was immensely satisfied with what she had painted on his forehead. "You dared to keep my private photos in you phone. Well, Daniel, now I also have incriminating photos with you. Ha ha ha." Daniel''s office was filled with J''s joyfulughter. Then she took out her phone and took some photos of Daniel. The man in the photos had an irritated look, but the turtle drawn on his forehead was noticeable enough. Ha ha ha ha... It was so funny that J kept rolling withughter. Then she took his phone. "J, put down my phone!" said Daniel. He knew what she was about to do and really didn''t want her to snoop through his photo album. The girl stuck her tongue out cheerfully, and said, "No no no, no way." "You should clearly know that it''s a crime to pry into another persons'' privacy! If you don''t kill me today, I''ll put you into prison tomorrow!" This time, J''s ears heard Daniel''s warning. She remembered thew, and that prying into others'' privacy was, indeed, a crime. Jerry had exined it to her for a couple of times, but she had forgotten all about it. "OK, never mind. I forgot about it, but ignorance can be forgiven!" Sheforted herself and went on to look through his phone''s photo album. But there was only one photo in the whole album: her Weibo selfie which she took that night in her nightgown! This was to say that... "Daniel, are you kidding me?" Again, she furiously stared him. Daniel felt a little more rxed now that she knew that there were actually no photos of her being naked that night. And his face even returned to normal, "What? Isn''t that one of your private photos? You''re in a nightgown. J, if you''re so open-minded... didn''t you expect me to take naked photos of you?" J''s face flushed red at what he had just said. "You''re a bad man!" She violently threw away his phone, took the pen again in her hand, and wrote "bastard" all over his face. Daniel kept silent, wearing a tight and angry face. ''J, just wait and see!'' he thought. Never in his life had he suffered such an insult. J, you really did a "good" job! He cursed her name for hundreds of times inside his head. At that time, the interior office phone rang, and J picked it up and answered it herself. Spark was speaking on the other end, "Mr. Si, Miss Song is here!" J covered the speaker and cleared her throat. "Just ask her toe in!" She crudely imitated Daniel''s voice right under his killing re. "Mr. Si, what''s wrong with your voice?" Spark took a look at the closed door of the office and wondered what were they doing inside. J worried that she might be discovered, and so she quickly hanged up the phone on Spark. She then ran to unlock the office door. Then she managed to move Daniel''s chair to where it should be. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. The man couldn''t believe what was going on. J smiled crafty and then sat on Daniel''s legs. ... The posture was ambiguous, but it was just enough to hide the rope on Daniel''s body. The girl sat on the man''s legs and kept winking at him cheerfully, "Be honest, or I will let Kate to see your face... your angry little face with this funny little turtle on it." "J, I suggest you had better escape as fast as you can, or else..." "Daniel!" They heard Kate''s clear voice and then the door was wide opened. Chapter 44 Track Down and Arrest Janet Shao Chapter 44 Track Down and Arrest J Shao Kate was shocked by what she was seeing in the office. A woman was sitting on Daniel''sp, with her back turned to her... J smiled, and then put her hands around Daniel''s neck. She pretended to flirt with him, and said, "Daniel, you''re really cute, and your chest is so robust. Wow! Just look at these pecs and abs..." Daniel looked at her ruddy cheek and, cynically, thought to himself, ''She''s just a little girl who pretends to be of age. This is ridiculous!'' "Get down, now!" Daniel shouted at J, which made Kate feel a little more better. She then closed the office door and walked up to J and Daniel. "Daniel, please don''t let her get between us. I will... um?" J really wanted to p herself when she thought better of what she was doing. She seemed to be so coquettish when flirting with Daniel. And, although she didn''t have any experience, it came natural to her. The high-heel footsteps got closer to them now. "Stop, don''te nearer!" When she heard Daniel shouting at her to stop, Kate stared at the two of them with bitter eyes and wondered what Daniel really took her for. "Daniel, I''m your girlfriend! How dare you flirt with another woman! And, even more than that, in front of me!" said Kate. Her eyes instantly turned red and was just about to cry; she really did love Daniel from the bottom of her heart. "His girlfriend? Well, I''m Mr. Si''s woman! And Mr. Si, you''d better delete my private photo! Otherwise, it''ll be shameful!" spoke J. She then moved and became a bit restless when she felt something hard touching her, unaware of what it could be. When J moved even more, Daniel''s breathing became rapid and restless. "Kate, please go back!" "Daniel!" Kate looked at Daniel, who was blocked from sight by Jane, puzzled. She was willing to find out at all costs who this woman really was! And as she was just about to catch a glimpse of the woman''s face, she was again stopped by Daniel, who said: "Kate, didn''t you hear me? Leave!" Kate stopped again in her footsteps, took a deep breath, and said, "Daniel, I hope you have a good exnation for what''s going on here!" And just then, J boldly kissed Daniel on the lips. She was trying to break the lovers apart. And it was just because Daniel was annoying her! Kate got furious when they saw them kissing each other and clenched her fists. Kate knew and understood that Daniel, being so powerful and attractive, would always have other women around him, and she was willing to tolerate him for this. But what she saw now, in the office, she could never ept and live with. Kate opened the office door and rushed out of it. When she arrived at the elevator, she stopped and rushed back to Spark. Spark did not want to get involved, so he just pretended not to see her and minded his own business. Kate calmed down and looked as usual again. She knocked on his desk, and asked: "Mr. Shi, who is the woman inside Daniel''s office?" Knowing that he could not get away with Kate''s interrogation, Spark just smiled as if he were embarrassed, and then looked up at her, and said, "Miss Song, I also have no idea!" "Mr. Si, you have a girlfriend called Jessica Liu, who works at ourpany as the group leader of the ounting Department. Is that correct?" asked Kate. Spark began to get worried by her veiled threat. "Miss Shao..." Kate got confused and stared at Daniel''s office door, as if she saw through it. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. ''Daniel told me he saw J only as a sister, but why...'' She suddenly felt naive with her excessive thinking. ''J, just wait and see!'' She then left, and the sound of her footsteps faded away. Back inside the office, J had now untied Daniel, who almost managed to regain initiative, and then quickly jumped down from him. After fixing up her clothes, she provocatively stared at the man who was just about to copse. "Daniel Si, just so you know, I''m not pregnant. Please go home now and study some basic gynecology! You can ask mother*, if you still don''t understand." (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) As she nced at his groin by chance, J felt a sudden, sharp pain growing in her temples. So, Daniel was... "Ah!" J screamed and rushed out of his office as fast as she could! After she closed the office door behind her, J started gasping for air. She felt that something was wrong, and soon found that several people in the secretary department were curiously staring at her. J felt embarrassed and just smiled at them. She then hurried to her desk to pick up her bag and then ran away. Just a few moments afterwards, Daniel was heard shouting, "Spark,e here, quick!" Five minutester, Spark walked out of the office, looking normal as usual, but then found a ce where no one could see him and started tough out loud. He was surprised to see Mr. Si''s face... Ha-ha... There was a turtle drawn on it. Ha-ha... And there was also a word written all over his face: "Bastard". Ha-ha. He just couldn''t stopughing at the thought of Daniel''s face. Soon enough, Daniel, looking very furious, came out of his office and then dialed someone''s number. Everyone in the secretary department clearly heard him say, "Please track down and arrest J Shao... Yes. She hasmitted a crime... Take her to my vi as soon as you arrest her." And so, when J was casually driving her Benz on the road, feeling in a good mood, a lot of police force was dispatched to find her and arrest her. Within only an hour, J''s car was stopped and surrounded by six police cars. When she saw them, she just couldn''t help but think of Daniel''s livid face filled with rage. J got out of the car with her bag in her hand and was just about to make a move to escape. However, she failed, because three or four policemen had stopped her. She raised one of her legs and started kicking them, without saying one single word. The officers weren''t expecting that she would hit them, so one of them was kicked to the side all of a sudden. When they saw what was happening, other policemen came and were just about to seize her, but J stretched out her arms and legs and thenmenced to mercilessly pounce on them. At that moment, a policeman, carrying a loud-speaker, shouted at her, "J Shao, you are attacking a police officer and thus you aremitting a crime. Please stop, now!" ''Stop? And let Daniel lock me up in a small, dark room? Pooh! I''m not that stupid!'' thought J. J easily subdued three policemen and then ran straight ahead, which astonished most of the passers-by. But, to J''s misfortune, there was a Rolls-Royce stopped right in front of her. Daniel, who sat inside the Rolls-Royce, had spent half an hour of his time searching for her. When realizing that she had been besieged, she got much more depressed, murmuring to herself, "What a shame!" She ran into an alley she found to her right, but she already knew that she would definitely be caught, since Mr. Si was now out of the car and was chasing her in person. Within only two minutes, Daniel had subdued J with one single hand, again. While she stood on her tiptoes as Daniel held her by the neck, she managed to call Jerry, "Jerry, I''ve been caught by Daniel. Help!" Daniel bluntly took her phone out of her hand, threw her into the car, and then locked the doors. After that, he put her phone near his ear. and said, "Jerry, Jane will stay with me for several days. Please tell father and mother*." (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) ... Jerry was stunned after the call was ended. ''How will I exin this to mother and father?'' he thought. He was even more frightened because of the punishment he might have to suffer if he told his father that J had been caught by Daniel. But, he could also ask his mother''s assistance to help him escape his father''s punishment. Chapter 45 Wasnt That Daniels Car Chapter 45 Wasn''t That Daniel''s Car The police captain had initially intended to arrest J, but Daniel said something to him. Then, the captain, as well as the other police cars, drove away from the scene. J was shivering, and shrank in the Rolls-Royce car. She sighed and wondered why God was so unfair with her, and why the punishment hade so soon! ''Please, help!'' Calling for help was in vain, and then J was taken away by Daniel. Without any words, Daniel drove her back to his own mansion, and threw her into an empty room at the third floor. He then locked the door and went away. Was he gone? Just like that? Without uttering not even a single word? She seemed to hear the mansion''s gates locking. J was so anxious that she kept going around the room, not knowing what to do next. She was unable to contact anyone outside the mansion because her mobile phone was already taken away by Daniel; now she had only her handbag with her. She checked if the windows were open, and they were, but she was at the third floor of the house, and it was a big jump! It was too high, and J didn''t have the courage to jump out of the window. But the longer she stayed here, the uneasier she became. So J eventually decided to escape through the window. When she was looking for something in the room to make a rope out of, she heard some hammering noiseing from outside the windows. She then saw a few people climbed on adder, and then opened a window, and said, "What are you guys doing there?" "cing security windows!" They threw out to her these three simple words and went on their business. ... J was shocked that Daniel had even thought of the windows. "No! Please, listen!" Screaming, J tried to ask for help from the workers: "Sir, please, help me! I am being held hostage by an evil man!" "Then why don''t you ask the police to help you?" This question dumbfounded J, ''Ask the police for help?'' she thought. ''Wasn''t she caught by the police in the first ce?'' "I haven''t got a phone, " she said. "Girl, I''ll lend you my phone. Call the police." The worker handed his phone with pity. J had no choice but to ept his phone. Then she started to brainstorm and searched for any phone numbers in her mind that were relevant to her current situation. She wasn''t willing to let her parents know about what had happened either, and she couldn''t think of anyone else who could actually save her. ''What should I do?'' she pondered. ''Oh, right! Brian!'' She remembered that Brian''s phone number was made up of bomb serial numbers. What was it? Brian had exined it to her several times. She thought hard and finally figured out the serials.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Hello, Brian, it''s me, J, pleasee and help me! I''m trapped in mansion No. 9 at the Royal Mansion neighborhood, at the third floor, in the room with security windows. Pleasee and be discreet about it, and please don''t call the police." "J, what''s happening?" Brian was so worried about J that he was just about to leave with a small group of soldiers at his side. But J said, "Nothing serious, but pleasee covertly, at night! Remember, don''t inform the police!" J thought that maybe Daniel might be off his guard at night and more vulnerable. At that moment, there was some noiseing from outside the door, and she switched off the phone and returned it back to the worker. Daniel had already gone back to thepany after imprisoning J in his mansion. He still had an important meeting this afternoon and had to leave her punishment forter, in the evening. Brian looked at his phone with doubt, and nearly put on his military uniform. ''Come covertly at night? Don''t call the police? Had J really been kidnapped?'' he wondered. ''Anyway, I''ll take action at night, as she instructed me!'' But Brian then decided to first probe the situation. Driving with his navigation''s help, Brian drove to the Royal Mansion, but was stopped by the security guard at the neighborhood''s gates. The guard inquired with him which mansion he was visiting in the neighborhood. He actually told him a random number and, after the guard got a better glimpse of Brian''s military uniform, he let him in. He finally found mansion No. 9 and then got out of his car and inspected it. He noticed a room with security windows mounted, which severely contradicted the overall style of the mansion. He took out his phone and asked a soldier under hismand to bring over a technician. He was nning to remove the security windows. At noon, a chef had brought J some food. ''Daniel, you still have a little conscience left in you after all.'' After lunch, J found some linen, made her bed and then fell sound asleep on it. She was waiting for Brian to rescue her. When dusk came, J heard that there were some strange soundsing from outside the windows. She opened her eyes and looked at the windows. There were two people outside, and she didn''t have the faintest idea of what they were doing. J hid in the quilt with vignce. But, at that moment, another man climbed up with a rope and knocked at the window. J brightened her eyes in an instant. It was Brian! She immediately jumped up from the bed and ran to open the windows. "Brian!" There were also some other soldiers standing at the mansion''s ground floor. The security guard, because all of the noise andmotion had, of course, already informed Daniel of what was happening there. Daniel immediately sent some people to stop them, himself hastily running back. He guessed that J had spoken with Brian either through the instation works, or through the chef. ''Well, she was clever, indeed. But, it was Brian...'' Daniel took out his phone and contacted a person who could restrain Brian. The security windows were soon removed, and J sessfully escaped from the third floor with the help of Brian and another soldier. "Brian, thank you for your help!" J was so happy that she really wanted to jump out of her skin with joy. The soldiers'' eyes instantly became bigger when he saw how pretty J was. A true beauty, indeed! He wondered when Mr. Han get to know such a beautiful, lovely girl. Brian gave an icy-cold stare at the soldiers whose eyes were still bright. Then they calmed themselves, and said, "Colonel, why don''t you introduce her to us?" J gave them a sweet smile and stretched out her right hand to them, "Hello, my name is J Shao, thank you very much for your help today!" J shook hands with them one by one, and her loveliness and kindness left them a very good impression of her. Seeing the looks on his fellow solder''s eyes, Brian coughed, and said, "Let''s leave and we''ll talk more in the car." J got in the military vehicle and sat in the passengers seat, while Brian drove the car himself. Slowly, the car started to move forwards. However, in just two minutes, a Rolls-Royce car stopped in the middle of the road, in front of the military vehicle. Behind the Rolls-Royce, there were some Bentley cars, queuing to pass. Brian stepped on the brake, and the two soldiers in the back furiously stared at the car in front of them: "What are they doing? Do they want to die?" J now started to be more and more nervous. Wasn''t that Daniel''s car? Spark, who was driving, got out the Rolls-Royce and opened the back seat door. A man dressed in brown leather shoes got out of it. He was dressed in a white, expensive casual shirt, emanating an outstanding aura of sublimity and dignity in his gracious movements. He put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, stood in front of the military vehicle, and looked at the woman in the car with an icy-cold gaze. As Daniel had got out of the car, the bodyguards in the Bentley cars also got out and stood orderly at each side of the car. The pomp was great. Fortunately, they were in the Royal Mansions neighborhood, which was for the select members of society only, and so they didn''t have to worry about other cars passing by. Chapter 46 I Accept the Punishment Chapter 46 I ept the Punishment "There must be some other way out of this. Let''s back up, " said J, with her voice trembling. Brian took a quick nce at her, and his intuition was strongly telling him that the man in front of the car must have something to do with J. If his eyes hadn''t deceived him then, the first time he had seen J she had jumped off of this man, and jumped on him, instead. Moreover, he actually knew this man. He was Daniel Si, a sessful businessman, just like his father. Brian also noticed that Daniel kept staring at J. The soldiers behind him didn''t know who he was, "Brian, who is this guy? Is he from the North Pole?" "His gaze is as cold as ice." The military car backed up a little, but Daniel stood calm, as if he wasn''t worried at all that J would run away. He knew that J couldn''t run away now! The military car turned around. J and Daniel stared at each other, and then she suddenly made a face at him. She seemed to be mocking him. But, however, what happened next disappointed J. As soon as the military cars turned their way around, they found some more military cars driving slowly up to them from their back. After seeing the te numbers, Brian was suddenly taken aback. The cars belonged to his grandfather and to General Si. All the people got out of the vehicles, including Brian. J had seen what was going on and saw Brian and the soldiers making a military salute in front of the two military cars. Did Daniel call these people to help him? J then decided that next time she would ask L how many powerful people Daniel really know. All police forces were searching for her in the daytime, and now the military was doing the same in the nighttime. But the most important thing right now was to try to escape and run away and not let Daniel catch her again. J opened the door stealthily and was just about to leave, but then she saw an old man with a serious look on his face getting out of the opposite car. J immediately stood straight and ran towards him, "Grandpa Han!" After seeing the familiar young girl, General Han''s serious face softened in an instant. He waved at her, and said, "Come here, Jane." Brian looked at J, who was running towards his grandfather happily, with aplicated expression, and wondered since when was J so close to his grandfather. General Si and Daniel also walked towards him. Things seemed to be messy. General Si was a just and stern man. He looked at Brian with a serious look on his face, and said, "Colonel Han, you took your subordinates to break an anti-theft window of amon man and took away a criminal suspect in your own custody. You must be punished and demoted ording to the strict military regtions of our country. Come to me and sign your Demotion Letter tomorrow at dawn." Common man? Was Daniel Si amon man? Criminal suspect? Since when was J a criminal suspect? And Brian was being downgraded? J was now in a state of panic. "Grandpa Han, Brian has nothing to do with this! It''s all my fault, grandpa!" General Han shook his head, and said, "As a colonel, Brian should know what he can do and what he can''t! This is not a heavy punishment for him!" "Grandpa Han, it''s all my..." Brian interrupted J''s words with loud voice, "I ept the punishment!" Daniel looked at them indifferently without saying anything. Nobody knew what he was really thinking about. "Colonel Han, go back to the army now! We''ll discuss your punishment in the morning." General Si got into his car after he shook hands with General Han and Daniel Si and said goodbye. "Yes, Sir!" Brian made a military salute to General Si and then looked at J, "Come with me!" She was in big trouble, and he knew he couldn''t leave her to sink. J was surprised. She looked at Brian and was moved to tears, but when she was about to leave with Brian, a voice stopped her in her tracks, "J Shao!" A chilly warning halted J. General Han now stared at Brian with a furious look, "Brian, go back to the army!" Why did he have to worry about his two grandsons all the time? He had trapped Bill in the army because of a girl; and now his elder grandson Brian, who was usually reliable, was also... But, s! Brian looked at his grandfather and wanted to say something. J didn''t want Brian to upset his grandpa even more because of her, and so she said, "Brian, listen to your grandpa. Go back to the army, I''ll be fine." ... However, whether she was fine or not didn''t depend on her. Brian had no choice now, and said, "Contact me anytime you''re in trouble!" Then he got into the military car and left. Seeing his grandson leaving, General Han''s face softened again. "Grandpa Han, I''m sorry for getting you into trouble, " said J with a guilty look on her face. She had visited his home with Bill for several times, and he had treated her well. "It doesn''t matter, little girl. But from now on..." "I know. I won''t cause Brian any trouble, nor contact Bill from now on, " promised J. General Han looked at the little girl with satisfaction in his eyes, "Actually I didn''t mean it that way. If you really love Brian, I have no objection to it." He knew Bill loved this little girl, and that she didn''t feel a thing for him. He didn''t expect his elder grandson to also know J. He had to check this. "Grandpa Han..." J was about to tell General Han that she didn''t love Brian, but suddenly changed her mind after remembering the annoying man behind her, "I know what you mean. Grandpa Han, please go back now and rest!" General Han shook his hand with Daniel and said goodbye. J watched the military cars leave in order. "Why did you call Brian''s grandfather and his army leader?" asked J with anger in her eyes. Daniel was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "You''re not qualified to ask this sort of questions!" He now had to settle his ounts with her! J raised her right hand and pointed her finger at Daniel, "I, J Shao, am finished with you, Daniel Si, from now on!" Then she ran in the opposite direction. "J Shao, do you think I''m a fool?" What did he mean? The next moment, J''s wrist was being gripped by a strong hand. Under the yellow streetmp light, a girl was being dragged into Mansion No. 9 by a tall man. In the vi, the two people stood in the middle of the living room, staring at each other in anger. J ran towards the door many times, but was easily caught by Daniel each time. He then dragged her to the second floor, but when they arrived in the corridor, Daniel''s phone started to ring. "Father*." (*TN: sworn father) Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. It was Samuel! J was relieved and yelled at Daniel''s phone, "Dad, help! Dad!" Then her mouth was covered by Daniel''s right hand, and she was tightly pressed against the wall by his body. "It''s OK, father. She busted my window and caused me trouble in thepany. I''m talking to her now." Chapter 47 This Time She Must Break up All Relations with Daniel Chapter 47 This Time She Must Break up All Rtions with Daniel "Waah......." J, bewildered, looked at Daniel and wondered when had she broken his windows. Not knowing what Samuel was talking with him on the phone, J heard Daniel say, "Not yet, I''ll be on a business trip with her tomorrow. Don''t worry, I''ll take good care of her." What? J was shocked. What did her father say that made Daniel reply to him that he''ll take good care of her? Daniel''s face changed as the conversation carried on. He said, "Yes, I know. He''s really not the right one for her." Who? Who were they talking about? J then found out who were they talking about from Daniel''s replies, "That''s right, he''s too busy. He not only now has to take part in more dangerous missions but also has to stay in the military unit for 20 hours a day, so he''s really not the right one to ensure Jane''s happiness." ... J now stopped her struggling and stared at the man who was covering her mouth with his hand. ''Brian is not the right one! Are you the right one?'' J thought. "Don''t worry about her. I know exactly what to do. I won''t hurt her." ''Dad! Dad! You are the cleverestwyer! Please don''t trust this evil man! He is about to hurt your daughter! Please, please help me!'' she begged in her mind. Again, J began to struggle. Daniel was listening to the elders'' lectures on the phone, while at the same time kissing the girl to stop her from speaking. ... ''Have you ever seen such a shameless wicked man? He was cheating my father out in the open while in the same time acting rudely to me.'' But J got lost in a daze by his kiss, and then Daniel let her off and quickly answered Samuel, "Yes, I got it. Have a nice evening. Good night." Now, J had missed the perfect opportunity to speak to her father because she had been enchanted by his seductive kiss. J''s lips were like some sort of drug for Daniel; every time when he touched them, he couldn''t help but kissing them again and again, unable to let her go. Now this happened again, and he was french kissing her and carrying her to the bedroom. He kicked open the door, and J''s coat dropped on the floor. She was held tight in his arms, and couldn''t help but raise her head towards him when he was about to kiss her again. Without turning on the lights, Daniel pressed her under him on the bed, and with a soft voice whispered in her ear, "Give yourself up to me!" These words suddenly appalled the woman, who was previously indulging in his kiss, and brought her back to reality. No, she was not ready yet. But then a sh came flying through her mind, and she rolled her eyes out of Daniel''s gaze, and said, "Mr. Si, don''t forget that Brian and I have..." Her words suddenly stopped Daniel. Daniel, who had now be dazed with lust, now looked at the girl in the dark with florid eyes, and said, "If you could offer yourself to him, then you can also give yourself up to me as well!" "So, you want me to have a rtionship with two men, lingering between you and Brian from time to time?" J''s nails pinched his chest. Daniel then bit her lips, and demanded, "No, J, from now on you are not allowed to meet that man anymore!" There were beads of sweating out of his forehead, and he now seemed to be bearing something. ''You''ll allow yourself to meet Kate, but not permit me to see Brian, '' J thought. "Ho ho." She chuckled and, knowing of her current predicament, she actively kissed him back on his lips. Daniel was surprised and thought that she had granted his request. However, ten minutester, a roaring sound came from the man in the bedroom, "J!" he yelled. Lying under him, J cheerfully saw him closing his eyes and suffering. Then the man said, wearing a cold smile on his lips, "Don''t think that I will let you go during your period? Let me teach you something you don''t have a clue about!" The man could be a self-taught master on sex and dirty jokes! "J, you''re too young to know the fact that, while the priests climbs a single post, the devil can climb ten!" J looked at Daniel with doubt. He dragged her into the bathroom and pushed her under the shower head. Then he looked at her with an evil smile, and then put his hands on his belt buckle... ''What... What did he mean? Does he want me to watch him bathe?'' The man threw his shirt in the hamper, then his trousers... Ah ah ah! J was surprised and gulped as she saw the man''s fit body. The bathroom then fogged with hot steam, and J''s face flushed crimson red, with her eyes staring directly at Daniel''s strong chest. She couldn''t help but biting her index finger, and was anxious to see this handsome man continue his wooing. Thest of Daniel''s clothing was now off and thrown into the hamper, and J suddenly covered her eyes. Oh, my goodness! She had seen something that she wasn''t supposed to see. Daniel was standing in the shower, with his eyes on the little girl who was now covering her eyes. ''Is she guarding her loyalty to Brian? Even so, I still can''t let her go.'' After a quick shower, he dragged J by her cor and forced her to open her eyes and look at him, N?velDrama.Org owns this text. "J, now you have to pay for what you did to me earlier!" What? Before she could evene to her senses, the man had already pressed and lowered her head down. And then, in an instant, J''s brain was blown up by what was happening. Half an hourter He casually dressed in his bathrobe and opened the bathroom''s door, with his hair still dropping beads of water on the floor. Looking at the woman who was brushing her teeth, he grinned an evil smile. Five minutester, when J came out and saw the man leaningzily on the bed, she quickly went back to the bathroom, and again, she brushed her teeth. Rubbing her aching cheek, J determined that this time she must break up all rtions with Daniel! She kept brushing, and when she started again a third time, she was dragged into the bedroom by Daniel. He threw her on the bed, and said, "J, don''t think I''ll let you go so easily." For Daniel, what had happened to him in the daytime was such a great insult to him that he would definitely not let her go off so easily. J got up from the bed and ran towards the door without a word, but she was then stopped and taken aback by the man without any difficulties. "Daniel, go away, I am breaking up any rtion with you, just let me go!" How could he let her... Waah... waah... And her clothes were now all wet because of him. ''What should I do?'' she thought. In low spirits, she walked up to his closet and managed to find a shirt and to put it on. She also wanted to change her trousers, but his were too long to fit her, so she had to take hers off and stay that way. She turned over everything in his closet, but couldn''t find anything to fit her. She thought that she could wrap herself up with his bathrobe, wearing it as a skirt. After sluggishly wandering around the room for about five minutes, she finally dressed up in his bathrobe, wrapping it on her body, from her waist to her shins. Well, that was fine! Leaving her troubles behind, at least for now, she came out of the cloakroom with her hands hiding in the shirt''s long sleeves. Outside the cloakroom, the man was now browsing his phone. J suddenly jumped out and proudly made a pirouette in front of him, "Look, I''m thetest fashion!" The man''s eyes were bright but, the next moment, the bathrobe suddenly slipped off her waist... Daniel couldn''t help but brake intoughter. J screamed and then rushed back into the bathroom in an instant, ignoring the ck bathrobe on the floor, because the white shirt was not long enough to cover her whole body. Chapter 48 It was Daniel Who Begged Me to Come Over Here Chapter 48 It was Daniel Who Begged Me to Come Over Here J, getting even more distressed by the moment, looked at herself in the mirror and picked up a toothbrush. She was brushing her teeth again! When he saw this, Daniel got out of bed and forced her to gargle. After that, he locked the bathroom''s door and then he carried her to the bed, "Do you know what will happen when you annoy me?" he asked. At that moment, J became so afraid and helpless that she began sobbing, and said, "Just leave me alone. I want to go home." This time Daniel had gone too far! She decided not to stay with him anymore. But how could she get a chance to go home? Daniel just sneered at her words, and then raised her chin with his hand and fiercely nced at her, "You''ve tied me up, drawn a turtle and even written the word ''bastard'' on my face. Do you think I will let you off so easily, J Shao? Don''t be so childish!" J was going to apologize to him, but when she heard these words and remembered what he had just done to her, she said, "Now we''re even. Let me go!" "We''re even?" asked Daniel ironically. He began tough, which stunned J even harder. She suddenly thought that Daniel looked so handsome when heughed. However, she began to again despair when he heard his following words: "You''re such a childish woman. I won''t be so nice to you this time! Until your period ends, I must get back at you in other ways!" When she heard these words, J immediately shouted at him to protect herself: "You are a devil! I don''t even know you! Oh, I just want to go home and stay with my mother and father..." and then she began to sob. While he saw her crying so pitifully, Daniel relented a little in his game. Heid her down on his bed, hugged her, and then pulled the quilt over both of them. "I will let you go home tomorrow, only if you are an obedient girl and go to sleep." But she just kicked aside the quilt, and said, "I don''t want to sleep. I just want to go home. Now!" She didn''t want to sleep with him in the same bed. This bad man knew only how to bully her. "J Shao, don''t be so ungrateful! You will regret it!" Daniel warned her, turned over and pressed her under him. J immediately stopped crying and looked at him: "I''m going to sleep now." ''That does it!'' thought Daniel. He held J in his arms and again pulled the quilt over them. But before this, J had got out of bed to try to reim her phone, and when she opened her bag she saw, by chance, her sanitary pads. Just then an idea shed through her mind, which made her titter at her genius. She then put aside her phone and climbed into the quilt to sleep with Daniel. She held his waist willingly this time. J had grown up like a rich princess, never suffering any of the hardships ofmon life. Her skin was delicate as silk, from head to toe. So when her slender legs clung to Daniel, his body immediately became rigid. "Mr. Si, you are so busy every day. You''d better sleep, " said J gently. After finishing these words, she raised her hand to pat Daniel as if she were patting little John when she lulled him to go sleep. She even whispered in the same way she usually whispered to John: "Dear Daniel, please go to sleep early. You can get candy if you go to sleep early..." "My deary, fall asleep quickly..." When he heard J''s soft voice, Daniel couldn''t fall asleep anymore. After about ten minutester, he still couldn''t go to sleep, and instead was even more wide-awake. He put on a long face and stared at J, who was almost asleep. "J!" he said. He began to threaten her in a low voice. ''Such a damn woman. How dare she lull me like a baby!'' he thought. "Um... Don''t disturb me. I''m sleeping now, " replied J. She then withdrew her hand and put it under her cheek, seeming to be drowsy. "Do I ask you to sleep?" asked Daniel angrily. "Er. You''re noisy." After replying to him, J turned over with her back against him. This time her body had clung to him. His Adam''s apple moved a little when he gulped, and when he remembered of what happened earlier in the bathroom, Daniel then painfully closed his eyes. ''She''s such a terrible woman!'' he thought. He was hugging J, who was now sleeping, tight in his arms, and had his face buried in her hair, greedily inhaling her fragrant scent. ''Oh! This is such a torture!'' Daniel then suddenly released her out of her arms and left the bed to go to the bathroom. He began to wonder whether it was a torture for J or actually for himself to keep her there. After he entered the bathroom and turned on the shower head, his phone began ringing in the bedroom. J, who had just fallen asleep, now woke up because of the phone''s ringtone. ''Oh, this is so annoying. Who is calling me?'' she wondered impatiently. She decided to just ignore it and pull the quilt over her head. But, however, the phone still kept ringing louder and louder. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. J stretched out her hand to reach for the phone. She, half-asleep, slid the answer button, and spoke, "Hello. Who is this? Why are you calling me so For a little while, there was no answering from the other end of the line. "What''s wrong with you? Why are you calling me and won''t utter a single word? Are you making a prank call?" J, who was always grumpy after getting up, was nowining over the phone with her supposed interlocutor. After a few moments, the woman on the other end of the line finally began speaking, "J Shao!" She didn''t ask if that was her name, she just acknowledged it. "Right. That''s me. Who''s speaking? Please, go ahead and tell me why you called. Otherwise, I really need to go to bed." J, not realizing that she was talking on Daniel''s phone, was almost shouting. But Kate, on the other end of the call, got furious, and asked, "Why do you have Daniel''s phone?" ''Um? What?'' J opened one of her eyes and was surprised to see the phone in her hand. It was ck... And hers was white. She then looked at the caller''s ID only to find that it was Kate Song! J then suddenly woke. She looked around, but couldn''t find Daniel anywhere. She then heard the water from the bathroom. ''Eh? Why is he showering again?'' wondered J. She put the phone near her ear again and, slightly smiling, said, "He is taking a shower now." Kate, who was still in the office, tightly gripped a pen between her fingers, and said, "J Shao, you should be ashamed of yourself!" ''The nerve on her to speak to me like this!'' furiously thought J. She was just about to spit fire at her, but then found that it was right for Kate to say that she was Daniel''s girlfriend. J replied, "You''re wrong. It was Daniel who actually asked me toe here. You know, he''s so handsome that I couldn''t find any reason to turn him down on his proposal." She sat up when she had looked for Daniel in the room, but now, while she was talking on the phone, she was sitting with her back to the bathroom. So, when Daniel got out of the bathroom, she was being pleased with herself and her words, not knowing that at all. "J Shao, do you think I will be humiliated by you so easily?" said Kate indignantly. She could get the position in herpany today, and that wasn''t just because she was the daughter of the former CEO. She indeed had managed to maintain her position at the Changsheng Group for so long through other ways. "Of course not! I''ve never bullied or humiliated you in any way! Since you can be Daniel''s girlfriend, how can I ever dare to ever look down upon you?" When she heard J''s words, Kate was very proud of herself. However, J continued speaking to her using a sharp tone, "You don''t have to be so aggressive over the line, your boyfriend is still on my bed now. You''d better break up with him. Otherwise, I will hit you whenever I get the chance to meet you." When she heard that, Kate threw the pen away and tried to calm herself down, saying, "You are just another one of his mistresses. I''m his real girlfriend. How dare you speak to me like that! J Shao, haven''t your parents taught you to have a sense of dignity and shame?" ''Mistress? Sense of dignity and shame?'' thought J, now confused. "Kate Song, you are thinking way too much. I told you, it was Daniel who begged me toe over here. He just likes me too much. Anyway, I''m lovely and pleasing, so no wonder everyone likes me." J calmly chatted with her while she shook her head, not feeling any shame at all. When Daniel gradually approached the bed with anger, the air in the whole bedroom became extremely weighty, and at one moment it even seemed to start to freeze. Chapter 49 Im Going To Sleep With Him Chapter 49 I''m Going To Sleep With Him "J Shao, well done, indeed! I hope you''ll get a regr spot among Daniel''s other lovers." The daughter of the well-knownwyer Samuel Shao, abandoned her self-esteem just to be man''s lover. What a stupid girl! If this news were to be someday exposed to public, the whole Shao family''s reputation would suffer enormously. "Thank you for your praises. Tell you what, I''ll ask Daniel to call you back when he is avable. OK? Even the ancient emperors had to treat their lovers fairly, right? If he really doesn''t want to speak with you, I''ll beg him to at least have pity on you!" J now seemed to showcase how generous she was and how pitiful Kate was! The reason Kate had called Daniel was because she wanted something from him, but now, in J''s mind, she seemed to be another grumbling woman. "Enough!" An angry voice sounded behind her, and then the phone was taken away by Daniel. Too bad! J had so much fun ying with Kate that she didn''t even notice when Daniel had came out of the bathroom. She drew back her neck in fear and then looked at Daniel, who now had a long face. Then she stood up in the bed, held his neck in her hands, and said belligerently, "Don''t talk to her!" She felt uneasy when she saw Daniel and Kate talking to each other on the phone. Daniel shook off her arms, put the phone over his ear and then went out on the balcony, "Kate." After hearing Daniel scold J, Kate seemed to know what had really happened there and felt more relieved. Since Daniel knew what J had done, she didn''t have to rte it to him anymore. ''Daniel would know that I''m a generous girl, '' thought Kate. "Daniel, there''s something wrong with thepany. Mr. Xue is unable to provide funds to me anymore. I..." Daniel leaned against the balcony''s handle and looked around the bedroom. J puckered her lips and then jumped off the bed. "Don''t worry, that''s just a slight issue. Mr. Xue is in jail now. Tomorrow I''ll ask Spark to invest some money in Changsheng in the name of the SL Group." This was exactly what Kate was waiting for him to say. She then spoke in a cheerful voice, "Daniel, thank you!" "Don''t mention it. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Daniel saw J put her phone into her bag and open the bedroom door. He went into the bedroom with his phone. "There is another problem..." While listening to Kate''s problem, Daniel followed J, stopped her, threw her into an empty room, and then locked the door. "As for this problem, first check your financial ounts, and then ask the manager to..." While J was trying to break open the door, Daniel stood in the corridor and casually spoke with Kate on how to solve the problem they were discussing. Twenty minutester, Kate raised her lips and said, "Thank you, Daniel. I got it!" "OK. Have a good night." He was just about to end the call, But Kate stopped him and spoke in a more hesitating tone, "Daniel, I''m your girlfriend. You... Could you... could you stay away from J?" He knew what she meant and he interrupted her, "Don''t worry. You''re my girlfriend at all times. Don''t trouble yourself." ''It turns out that I''m Daniel''s girlfriend only officially, but Daniel is fully focused on J...'' thought Kate. "Got it. Daniel, good night... I love you." But what she got in return was only a busy tone. Kate put down her phone and rubbed her temples. She couldn''t figure out Daniel''s mind. Kate had known Daniel and had a crush on him long before J had appeared in his life. Daniel hadn''t rejected her approaching, but had only told her, "Even if I''m with you, what you can only get is my body." She hadn''t understood what this had meant until J appeared. Did Daniel really have a crush on J? That''s not right. She had heard that Daniel couldn''t ever forget his first love. But, unfortunately, his first love was forced to marry someone else after he had just left for America to further his education. ... She once mentioned her name in front of him, but he warned her in a scowling voice, "Kate Song, I hope I won''t hear that nameing from your mouth anymore. If you can''t remember this, then get away from me." Since she had be a CEO, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this. But she never contradicted him again, and she never mentioned about his first love in front of him again. Maybe Daniel was still in love with her, and it was only J''s own wishful thinking that brought her close to him. Come to think of it, Kate felt better. She packed her stuff and left thepany. In Mansion No. 9 No matter how hard J battered at the door, there was still no response outside. "Daniel Si, let me go. If you don''t open the door, I''m going to jump..." The door was open. Daniel stared at her with a long face, and furiously ordered, "Get out!" J bit her lower lip and said nothing. She took her bag, raised her head high proud, passed by him and walked towards the staircase. "Did I said you can leave?" J ignored this wretched man as she climbed down to the first floor. "Look at your clothes. If you''re not frozen to death by morning, you''re still going to be raped by the homeless." Her words stopped J. She lowered her head and saw that she only wore one of Daniel''s shirts. She gnashed her teeth, and said, "Don''t worry. I''m calling Brian. He''ll pick me up, and I''m going to sleep with him." At this moment, J was now reflecting on herself, ''I know that Daniel has a girlfriend. Am I really way out of line to pester Daniel like this?'' She took out her phone out of her bag and continued to walk towards the door. Daniel held his phone tightly in his right hand, and warned her, "If you walk out of this house now, you Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. won''t be allowed to get close to me anymore!" His words made J pause for a moment. ''Is he pushing me away only for his girlfriend?'' thought J. J''s eyes turned red, but Daniel couldn''t see. She raised her head proudly, and shouted, "Daniel Si, I don''t care! I''m finished with you!" And within minutes, the door was mmed shut by J. Daniel furiously smashed his phone onto the wall. "J Shao, don''t you know right from wrong? Fine, sleep with whoever you want! A girl like you doesn''t deserve to be with me!" Daniel strode into his study, started hisputer and connected to the door''s CCTV camera. A small figure was sitting in the corner outside of the vi. The screen on her phone was on, suggesting that she was indeed talking to someone on it. J had intended to call Brian, but didn''t do it after some more careful consideration. Brian had already been demoted because of her, and she thought that she had better not bother him anymore. ''A person like me, who always causes troubles, should stay away from the likes of Brian, '' she thought. However, when she was just about to call Jerry, Brian called her first. Chapter 50 You Wont be Allowed to Get Close to Me Anymore Chapter 50 You Won''t be Allowed to Get Close to Me Anymore "J, did Daniel... do anything to you?" After his hard day finally ended, Brian lit a cigarette and smoked it in his car. It took a long time for him to finally make up his mind whether he should call J or not. She was shivering from the cold, outside Daniel''s mansion. When she heard him, she sobbed at his concern, "No. Brian, are you still at work?" "No, I''ve just finished. J, what happened to you?" he asked. When he heard her crying, Brian immediately put out his cigarette and got out of the car. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. J looked around her. It was dark andte, "Can you pick me up?" she asked. "I can''t go home." She wasn''t afraid of being lectured by her parents, but she just didn''t want to worry them in any way. And also, if they ever saw her dressed like this, who knows what they might think happened to her? "OK, where are you now? I''m already on the way." He looked at his watch, and it was almost 12 PM. He had to step on it. "... I''m still at the No. 9 mansion... I''m at the door." She looked with morose eyes at the lights of the mansion''s second floor. They were on. But the light that was once kindled in her heart, off. "Wait for me, " Brian said. Brian then hung up the phone and rushed towards Daniel''s No.9 vi. Half an hourter, when J was almost numb by the cold, a military vehicle stopped in front of the gate. "J!" It was Brian. "Here!" J stood up from the marble staircase; she could barely feel her legs anymore. Unable to move a single step forward, she almost fell on her knees. When he saw her, Brian cut across the garden and ran to help her. When he saw what J was wearing on her, Brian, who was always calm and collected, nearly staggered on his feet and fell in the garden. When he finally came back to his sense, Brian took off his military coat and covered her with it. He lifted her up on her feet and then strode towards his car. J started to shiver the moment he gently put her on the back seat of his vehicle. She felt better when Brian turned on the car''s heat. And then they left the mansion''s grounds. Back in the study on the second floor, Daniel furiously kicked the chair and then smashed hisputer screen. ''J, sometimes you can be so cunning, and cajoling. Why didn''t you say something nice to me tonight? You must have been dying to see that man! Oh, you wanna leave? Then leave! But if you leave, nevere back!'' At the Westin Five-Star Hotel Brian parked his military vehicle in the hotel''s parking lot. He then entered it, booked a room, and then picked J up from the back seat of his car. His military uniform was extremely noticeable and eye-catching, and now he was lifting in his arms a woman with her legs bare; everyone turned their heads around to see them. J had burrowed her face into his chest and hid under his coat. OMG, this was so embarrassing for both of them. In the presidential suite on the 12th floor Brian put J down on the bed, tucked her in and turned on the heat in the room. He sat by the bed and looked at J, who now was huddled under the quilt with only her head showing, "He... What did he do to you?" asked Brian. J and Daniel were not just simple friends. And perhaps Daniel was the one she cared about. When he thought of this, Brian lowered his head to cover the anguish rushing up in his eyes. J blushed, "Nothing. But now I''ve broken all ties with him for good." "J, you love him, right?" Brian fixed her messy hair. ''Is there a chance for me to ever win her heart?'' he wondered. J covered her head. She was clearly not in the mood to talk about this. "Brian, thank you, I''ll treat you with a big meal tomorrow. Go to sleep now. Good night!" said J. Brian smiled while uncovering her head out of the quilt, "Sleep tight. I''ll bring you some clothes tomorrow morning." Brian then stood up from the bed and was just about to leave. But J then gripped his wrist, "Don''t bother, Brian, I will call my brother tomorrow." Brian looked at her fair hand and then smiled. He put her hand back under the quilt, "It''s okay. I''m free tomorrow morning, anyway." "No, Brian, I already caused you too much trouble." He had been demoted because of her. She would always remember his kindness in her mind. Brian bent down and kissed her on the forehead, "Sleep well." J held her breath, and dully nodded, "Oh, OK." Daniel had kissed her many times, but he had never been so gentle as Brian was... Brian carefully checked the room and made sure that everything around was in order; he then left. The room was now quiet. J sat up, and sadly looked at the shirt on her. She could still feel his scenting from it... ''If you walk out of this house now, you won''t be allowed to get close to me anymore.'' His voice haunted her. She got out of bed, pulled back the window curtains, and looked ahead on the street. It was almost one o''clock in the morning, and the city was still brightly lit with colors. For a while, she stared nkly at the streets. When she snapped out of it, she drew back the curtains and unbuttoned the shirt. The white shirt fell on the floor without giving out any sound. J threw the shirt into the trash and then went back to the bed and fell asleep. Early in the morning, someone was ringing the room''s doorbell. J woke up, turned over in bed, and then went back to sleep again. Her mobile phone rang, and feeling even more annoyed, J picked it up, and said, "Hello, what do you want? I''m trying to get some much-needed sleep. This would better be something important, or else I might have to kill you!" Outside the hotel room''s door, after Brian had been bombarded on the phone by herints, he burst intoughter. "It''s me, open the door." He looked at the time, and it was a little over 6 am. ''Did Ie too early?'' ''Oh, it''s Brian.'' J quickly turned over again and then fell out of the bed and on the floor screaming. "J, what happened?" She was now massaging her aching hip, "Nothing, nothing, ouch it hurts." "Open the door!" J then slowly got up, "OK." She held her aching hip and then wrapped her naked self in the quilt, and then opened the door. "Are you all right? Did you fall out of bed?" Brian put aside the bag he was holding and anxiously scanned J up and down to see if she was indeed OK. "It''s the bed; it''s too small!" Jined that it wasn''t her fault. Brian then speechlessly nced at the 2 meter wide bed, "Does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?" he asked. Only J could fall out of a two meter wide bed! "No, it''s OK." She then got back in bed. Brian put the bag with the clothes in it down on the night table, "Get changed first." J briefly looked at the clothes in the bag, "Where did you get these? It''s so early in the morning." "My friend runs a clothes shop, I got them from him. Don''t you wanna try them on?" he asked. J would never know that Brian had woken his friendst night just for her and her clothes. Chapter 51 Janet, Are You Pregnant Chapter 51 J, Are You Pregnant "OK, but I still want to sleep for a while longer, " said J. She was even more sleepy now, and even if she still had to go to work, she still wouldn''t get up until seven o''clock. Her lovely childish look made Brian smile, "OK, you sleep for a while longer, I''ll wait for you to get up, " said Brian, then pointing at the sofa where he went to sit and wait. J fell asleep again, and at about eight o''clock she woke up again. Brian was watching some military training on the TV with the volume cut off. "Brian, what''s the time?" asked J in a hoarse voice. Brian looked at his wristwatch and then turned around, "It''s ten minutes to eight now." "Oh no, I''mte!" She waste for work! But then she stopped and remembered of the quarrels she had with Danielst evening and remembered that she didn''t have to go to work anymore. Brian walked towards her, and asked, "Are you going to work today?" "No, not now at least, " said J, shaking her head. Brian seemed to understand what was happening, and said, "You can put some clothes on you now, I''ll go out and ask the receptionist to send you some breakfast." The door then closed and J crawled out of her quilt and took out the clothes out of the bag. She found a white dress, a long and pink coat, and some white underpants. After she dressed in her new clothes, J went to the bathroom. She had left her hair band in Daniel''s roomst night and now she had to let her hair fall over her shoulders. Brushing her teeth and looking at herself in the mirror, J began to remember of what happened in Daniel''s bathroom. Her face kept flushing red while she was washing it. J and Brian had breakfast together and then left the hotel. "Where are you going now, I''ll drive you there, " said Brian. Getting in the military vehicle, Brian looked at the woman beside him fastening the belt in the passenger''s seat. "Home." She went home because she didn''t have to go to work anymore. "Where do you live?" "Mansion No. 8, in the Royal Mansion Neighborhood." She gave him the address while Brian nced at her with a meaningful look. He then started the car without adding anything more. At the mansion''s gate J jumped out of the huge Audi military car. She said, "Brian, thank you! Please remember to contact me when you''re free. I need to treat you with a meal and drinks for all your help." Brian nodded, "Go in now, I''ll be sure to get in touch with you when I''m free." He, of course, would not miss any chance to meet with her again. Then they parted, and after Brian saw J entering her house, he left. While he was turning his car around, he saw a man in the backseat of a Rolls-Royce who just happened to be passing by; that man was Daniel, and he had a face that was as cold as ice. They nced at one another through their car windows without uttering a single word. Brian left first. At the SL Group Daniel walked gracefully into hispany, took a look at his watch and saw that he had arrived one hourter than usual. He arrivedter on purpose. At the 88th floor Getting out of the elevator, Daniel quickly walked to his office. When he passed by the secretary division, he saw that the desk in the corner was empty. Instantly his heart saddened and his face darkened, and then he opened his office door. Everyone in the secretary division on the 88th floor was nervous and behaved at their best the whole morning, taking care not to make even the slightest of sounds. That was because Mr. Si seemed to be very irritated, and they knew that anything might trigger his rage and temper at any given moment. When it was almost noon, Daniel''s phone rang, and he answered it: "Hello, mother*." (*TN: here mother is sworn mother) "Daniel, have you left for your business trip?" she asked. E wondered as she spoke on the phone and saw her daughter''s closed bedroom door. J had locked herself in the bedroom the moment she had returned to the house. "Not yet, the flight is at three o''clock this afternoon." Daniel opened one of his desk drawers and took out the two airne tickets. But now one of them was useless, and it could be torn apart. "OK, then, " she said, "I''ve been cooking. Why note to our ce and have lunch together with us?" Daniel hesitated for a while, then E said, "But never mind if you''re busy. Let''s have lunch together after your return." "No, no, it''s OK, I''lle overter." E, now more rxed, said, "Good, we''ll be waiting for you then." "OK, mother*, goodbye." (*TN: here mother is sworn mother) After he ended the call, Daniel lit a cigarette and got lost in deep thought. At noon "Jane, it''s time for lunch now!" There was a childish voiceing from the other side of the door. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. J put down her phone, got out of the bed, opened the door, and saw her little brother, "John, I told you to call me sister." She held his little brother in her arms and then went downstairs. "My sister." "Good boy! And now, how did you climb the stairs up all by yourself?" she asked. ''Mom would never let him climb up the stairs by himself; it''s not safe. What happened?'' thought J. John took a look at the staircase, and said, "A handsome guy brought me upstairs and then he went back down all by himself." ''A handsome guy? What?'' J felt perplexed until she saw him sitting at the table; she then saw who was the man John was talking about earlier. Upon seeing him, J put down her little brother and instantly turned around to go back upstairs in her bedroom. "Jane, go and help your brother wash his hands, lunch is ready." E stopped J. "Mom, I''m not hungry, you enjoy it!" J went on going upstairs. But Samuel came strolling out of the kitchen, and demanded, "Jane,e back, now! Your mother has invited Daniel for lunch and to talk about your business trip this afternoon." "I''m not going on the trip anymore, I''ll go and look for a ce for the cake shop this afternoon instead." Samuel felt puzzled at J''s words, but then the mansion''s doors suddenly opened and Jerry and Sally entered the dining room. "Jane,e and see who''s here!" Jerry saw his sister standing near the staircase and then was pushed aside by the woman standing behind him. "Sally!" J was now smiling and immediately ran downstairs. The two women embraced each other happily. "Go and wash your hands and let''s have lunch!" said E, while she came over to them. J couldn''t refuse this time. She picked up her brother and then went upstairs with him to the bathroom. Samuel sat in the middle of the long table, to his right E, and then J. And on the opposite side were Jerry, Sally, and Daniel. Though the table was full of food, J had no appetite because of the man sitting diagonally opposite to her. She thought of what had happenedst night, and seeing him made her feel quite ufortable. E ced a piece of sweet and sour pork spare rib in her bowl, and said, "Eat something, you look weak." J sluggishly picked up the piece of spare rib with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Just at that moment, she met with Daniel''s eyes, and all of a sudden remembered what had happened between them in the bathroom. Her face flushed in an instant and was just about to drop the spare rib, but Daniel cast a cold re on her and J shrunk and then forced herself to eat the spare rib. She covered her mouth as she felt her stomach revolting with the piece of food. But the man was still looking at her and torturing her with his sharp eyes that J had nothing else to do but to continue to chew on the small piece of food. Last night''s scene now became clearer and clearer in J''s mind, under Daniel''s res. Then again she felt the piece of food revolting in the stomach, which made Samuel suspicious. He asked, "Jane, what''s the matter with you?" J shook her head, but E squinted her eyes at her daughter, and said: "You seem like... J, are you pregnant?" Chapter 52 Marriage Between Two Rich and Powerful Families Chapter 52 Marriage Between Two Rich and Powerful Families After E spoke, all looks were then set on J. ... J choked on the piece of rib she was eating, spat it out, and then gulped a ss of juice. ''What''s wrong with them these days? Why do both Daniel and mother think I''m pregnant?'' thought J, even more puzzled by each passing moment. She also felt very offended. How could she ever get pregnant during her period? With a snap, Samuel put down his chopsticks on his te. "Jane, are you pregnant?" Sally asked. When she heard this, Sally, who was sitting opposite to J, was bewildered, and looked at J, who was starting to choke on her food. Daniel was also eating his food, but slowed down and eventually stopped. When she could speak again, J said to her mother, "Mother, I''m your daughter. How can you think that I''m pregnant? You make me feel ashamed of myself and will also ruin my reputation. Have you forgotten already that I''ve been to the hospital a couple of days ago because of my period?" Both Samuel and E felt relieved when they heard her. ''That''s right. How could she get pregnant during her period?'' thought E. "But what''s wrong with you? Isn''t the food I cooked not delicious?" In fact, E was good at cooking, so she was even more puzzled at her daughter''s response. J felt even more upset and didn''t know how to exin to them that she felt ill because of what had happened in Daniel''s bathroomst night. "No. The food you made is, as always, very delicious, mom. Look, " spoke J. With these words, she picked up some braised prawns with her chopsticks from a te ced in front of her, and thought, ''I''ll eat whatever I want and like.'' When they saw J enjoying the food, the others continued eating and soon the overall atmosphere around the dining-table was back to normal again. Daniel, who never spoke during the meal, didn''t utter a single word and finished his lunch inplete silence. After the lunch, J and Sally were holding John and ying with him on the creeping mat in the living room. "Sally, how are you and my brother getting on?" asked J. Since Jerry had caught Sally and had taken her back homest time, they had never talked about their wedding ceremony. Sally blushed a little, and then whispered in J''s ear, "Jerry said that it was all my fault and there would never be a wedding ceremony for me." "He can''t do this to you! I must get a chance to reason with him!" said J. A marriage was not entirelyplete without a proper wedding ceremony. After all, two of the most important things in a woman''s life are to find the man who truly loves her and have a happy wedding. The two women kept whispering to each other. Samuel, when he looked at J, asked Daniel, who was sitting next to him, "Are you still going on the business trip with Jane this afternoon?" J, while she was chatting with Sally, heard her father''s words. She immediately turned around to face him, and said, "Father, I don''t need to go on a business trip anymore because I''ve already quit my job." "You''ve quit your job?" asked Samuel. He was a little surprised when he learnt of her resignation all of a sudden. Even E, who was helping the servant clear the table, also stopped for a moment and walked up to J. Everyone started to look at Daniel and J. When she saw that Daniel didn''t utter a single word in reply, J had to take the lead, and said, "That''s right, father. I''m going to find a space for my pastry shop this afternoon. I''ll run my own pastry shop and pursue the life I really want." "Father and mother*, I should go now; I need to return thepany to deal with something, " said Daniel. While he was speaking, he suddenly stood up from his chair, said his goodbyes to Jerry, and then immediately left. (*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother) Getting a little angry, J, who saw him just leave, put John down, and said, "Father, mother, Jerry and Sally, I''m sleepy, and I have to go to bed now! Excuse me!" ... They saw the two of them, who were very odd, leave the room with confusion in their eyes. The following days, J finally found a suitable shop all by her own. The shop was in the pedestrian street which was not that far away from The Royal Mansion Neighborhood. In order to support his daughter and her dream, Samuel hired a famous pastry master to help J along with things. As for the funding, Samuel had directly transferred ten million dors to his daughter''s bank ount before J even had the chance to ask him to do that. With this kind of funding in her hands, J decorated the shop, purchased some essential, necessary stuff, and hired six employees. Now J had be a pastry chef and the boss of her own business. Although she was busy decorating her shop in the first few days, J took some time off to have a western meal with Brian. The following day, both J and Brian were all over the entertainment news. The news headlines read "Something good is going to happen with J Shao, Samuel Shao''s daughter" The content was speaking about Jane''s dating with Brian. Also, the news of Brian''s powerful family background had also reached the public. The news revealed that he was a Major, that his grandfather was a retired General, that his uncle was the current Lieutenant General, and that his father had been a prominent member of the Public Security Department before his untimely death. And to J''s astonishment, she also found some photos with Brian entering the hotel with her in his arms that fateful evening. She also saw photos of them leaving the hotel together the following morning. But J was morose when she read the onlinements, "Mr. Han is very handsome and Miss Shao is beautiful. They are, indeed, a match made in heaven!" "Indeed, Miss Shao is just like Mr. Si''s sister. Keyboard men, your predictions were horribly urate!" "Their rtionship grew very fast. But, with their strong family background and so much money on their hands, why did they still have to stay in that hotel room?" "Will this end in a marriage between two rich and powerful families? Or do they just want to prove the media wrong by posting the news on Weibo?" ... She was now wondering that, if she wasn''t neither a star or a public figure, why did she have to appear in the entertainment news. ''Don''t these news agencies have anything else to report on? Or do they want to be closed down?'' thought J. She was so angry that she immediately asked Jerry to help her write an official statement on Weibo: "I am J Shao, " it read, "Samuel Shao''s daughter, but not a public figure. So I, hereby, appeal to the media who shot those furtive photographs to respect the privacy of ordinary people." The statement was finally posted on Weibo with Jerry''s seal stamped at the end of the text''s main body. As for Han family''s response, Brian''s grandfather asked someone to help delete all of the news at once. They wereing from a military family after all and couldn''t afford to let the bad news affect them in Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. any way. After the news had been deleted, he immediately called Brian back. In the study Charles Han stared at his excellent older grandson, and said, "Brian, are you in a rtionship with J now?" Through his troops, Brian had already learned about the news on the Inte. "No. I''m chasing her, to be honest, but she hasn''t epted me yet, " replied Brian. Charles began to look morose. "Is it true that they shot your photograph while entering the hotel with her?" asked Charles. "Yes, it''s true, but nothing happened between us. In order to protect her reputation, I didn''t bring her to my house, but took her to the hotel instead and then directly left. The media is just stirring up trouble, not exining that I returned to the hotel the following morning, " said Brian. The media had just wrote some fantastic news drafts to attract people''s attention, without caring about another''s reputation. After he listened to Brian''s words, Charles went silent for a while, and then, with his hands behind his back, he looked out the window in the night, and said, "J, indeed, has superior tastes. First she turned down my younger grandson, and now she also refused my outstanding older grandson. What on earth does she want?" He could see that J was a careful and considerate girl, but he still wondered why she turned down his outstanding older grandson. "Grandfather, she, in fact, already has a crush on someone, " spoke Brian. He told Charles all about it; there was no need for him to hide. When he heard this, Charles got curious, and turned around to ask Brian, "Who?" ''Could he be...'' thought Charles. Brian, when he nced at his grandfather''s expression, knew that his grandfather perhaps had guessed who the crush was, and replied, "Yes, grandfather, that''s him; Daniel Si." With his arms crossed over his chest, Charles sat on the sofa and seemed to be thinking about something. Chapter 53 We Werent at all Like Brother and Sister Chapter 53 We Weren''t at all Like Brother and Sister "Daniel has a girlfriend, but J still falls in love with him and you also love J. Oh, I really can''t understand what you young people are thinking about these days!" Charles Han sighed. "Grandpa, don''t worry; I know what to do and I won''t force J to love me, but it will be the best for her to give up Daniel." Brian was willing to wait for her as long as she would forget about Daniel. Charles nodded, "Your affair has be very public now. I have asked someone to delete all the news about it, and I saw that J also posted an appeal on the Inte for the press to stop it''s harassment. From now on you have to be careful, and try not to get in any conflicts with Daniel." They all knew why Brian had been demoted in his rank. If Daniel hadn''t called Mr. Si, the general officer, Brian would not have been demoted. He had Brian demoted to Major. But frankly speaking, Brian could only me himself for what had happened. "I understand, grandfather." But Brian wasn''t ready to admit his defeat so easily, and would not give up just yet. "I''m guessing Daniel loves the Shao''s daughter, judging from the fact that he went to lengths to speak with me and offend me." Charles''s view on things was very reasonable, which struck Brian''s heart. "Anyway, I''ll still fight for the woman I truly love." He didn''t want to regret anything, and even if he would fail in his attempts, at least he knew he tried. Charles nodded, "I will support you, I kind of like J too. You areposed and silent, while she is lively and extrovert. It''s good to beplementary to one another in a rtionship. Bill is not the right fit for J. Don''t forget, I''m not doing this for you." Bill had the same character as J''s, he was lively and extrovert. But he was notposed. Charles thought that a boy must beposed. Receiving his grandfather''s support and blessing, Brian smiled and thanked him. "OK, then. Now, how is Bill going nowadays?" He had managed to get Bill enlisted in the troops, and he had warned him that if he ever dared to let him down, he would break his legs. Talking about his cousin Bill, Brian smiled, and said, "He was very rash in the beginning, but then that was maybe because that he got to know my feelings towards J. I think this brought pressure on him topete with me in rank, and astely he''s been doing quite well." Charles nodded with satisfaction, "Keep an eye on him, and tell him that if he ever bes an upstanding and excellent man, he will have everything in the world and he''ll even meet a better woman than J." "OK, I''ll tell him, grandpa." "And go to visit your mother, she''s always talking of you and Maggie these days." Maggie Han was Brian''s younger sister studying abroad. "OK, grandfather. I''ll go now." Brian left the house and then went in its back and entered another, where his mother lived in. He found his mother asleep, and Brian just covered her with the quilt and then went away. The following day, a journalist got to interview Charles Han, through some inner rtions. The journalist asked about hisments on the recent event, and Charles simply replied, "Both of them are not married yet, and it is absolutely no problem if luck will ever bring them together." In other words, the Han family actually admitted the rtionship between J and Brian. Also, when Samuel got interviewed, he said, "It doesn''t matter with whom my daughter will end up with, I just hope that in the end she''ll be well and happy." ''Jane is always causing me trouble; doesn''t she want to be together with Daniel? Why did she had to stir things up with Brian?'' thought Samuel. He had to ask his daughter. After Charles Han and Samuel Shao''s replies to the news reporters were posted online, J and Brian instantly became a famous couple over the Inte. But, in reality, J felt helpless, and wondered why they had to arrange a boyfriend for her? J considered Brian an elder brother. But she also knew Brian''s true feelings towards her, and she couldn''t deny them all out in the open. Yes, she could tell him of her feelings in private, but she couldn''t be so cruel as to refuse him on the Inte in front of millions of users. After business trip abroad whichsted half a month, Daniel finally came back and the first news that weed him was that of J and Brian being together. He found out from his mother L, who felt heart-broken. "Why did you insist you have this Kate Song and miss on Jane, who is such a good girl. Now the Han family stole her! Oh, Daniel, you really infuriate me to death!" Daniel looked at his mother with a nk stare, and said: "Mother, if you like her so much, why don''t you get married with her yourself." Kicking away the chair, he left without even having dinner. Seeing her son and how he reacted, L was so angry that she went out to take a walk and have some fresh air. When Harry caught up with his wife, he questioned her why she had left out all by herself, ignoring him. "I''m angry at you too because you have a no-good of a son!" ... J''s cake shop was spruced up, it''s stylebining both Chinese and Western styles, and it served both Chinese cakes and Western baked cakes as well. The shop''s name was "Jane''s Cake Shop". On the day of it''s opening, a lot of people brought her presents in person, while others sent them through Samuel and E. Sven, putting on a white hat and a mouth mask, kept looking at J, who was seriously caught up in working on her desserts and baked cakes. "Jane, what is this? It looks really good, " asked Sven. Inside the small box there was a cake colored in ck and white, with some blueberries and ornaments on it, which really could arouse one''s appetite while looking at it. "It''s called Frona Mousse Cup." J then cut it with her bread knife. "Come and have a taste out of it!" J handed him a slice. Sven was actually not quite fond of desserts, but this one was made by J herself, and he of course Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. would have a go at it. "Wow, it''s delicious, Jane! Just so you know, I haven''t regretted at all breaking up with my girlfriend because of you." Sven thought of his narrow-minded girlfriend and started feeling angry. "Because of me?" she asked. J''s eyes then became bigger, and then she looked at Sven who showed not even the slightest care about it. How was it that she had broken up a couple''s rtionship and she waspletely unaware if it? "Yes, thest time you called me, she not only answered in my ce, but also asked me not to contact you any longer! Would it have been possible for me not to keep in touch with my sister any longer? No. And she had also insisted that we weren''t at all like brother and sister, but that we were more than that, that we were intimate with each other!" Jane and Sven had been friends since childhood and they had grown up together. His mother had even wanted him to be Jane''s boyfriend, so that she could be her daughter-inw. But both of them had made it clear that they hadn''t any such feelings towards each other, so his mother had to give up on the idea. Sven took Jane as his sister, just as his real sister, Ang, and this was good enough for him. J thought of her call to Sven thest time and pondered on this for a moment, then she said, "We''re like brother and sister indeed, but you''d better keep a distance with me to avoid arousing any misunderstandings. If your girlfriend doesn''t want you to contact me, then just do as she tells you to. I don''t want to be an obstacle in your way to find a girlfriend and leave you single for the rest of you life." That would be a serious sin for her that she could never forgive herself for. She would feel so ashamed for her other sworn father, Chuck, and sworn mother, Daisy, and also for his sister, Ang... She would have felt sorry for a lot of people. "I don''t give a rat''s ass about such a narrow-minded girl, and, unlike her, my Jane is always so generous. If your boyfriend will have a sworn sister and treat her well, will you mind it?" Sven put down the mousse cup and rested his hands on J''s shoulder in a brotherly manner. J pondered on this question, and she visualized in her mind that if Daniel had another sworn sister and if he treated her well. Then She answered, "Yes, of course I will mind!" Chapter 54 Mr. Si Actually Showing His Affection in Public Chapter 54 Mr. Si Actually Showing His Affection in Public Sven nced at J with a confused look on his face, and said, "She knows that you don''t love me and I don''t love you either. Why does she mind it then?" "Because a girl doesn''t want her boyfriend to talk with other girls who aren''t rted to him by blood." "Oh, stop, you''ve made me even more confused. Jane, you''re my sister. I don''t think of that too much!" J''s words had knocked Sven senseless. "Fine!" said J, "Sven, you''re nice to me, and I should be nice to you too in return. I''ll make some more mousse cakes for you, your parents, and Ang!" J then left Sven, put on a pair of disposable gloves, and started focusing on work again. The Cake Shop was just opened and was doing well; all cakes were soon sold. Moreover, many people had ordered their cakes in advance. J was very busy and most of her time was being spent in the shop. She knew she couldn''t go on like this for much longer. So while she was learning with the master baker her father had hired, she also hired two new apprentices, who already knew the basics, and taught them baking skills. In the military camp, Bill and Brian''s subordinates often had desserts brought over for their meals. Today, Brian again brought Bill a piece of refined chocte cake. Bill pushed it away with aversion, and murmured, "I don''t like the bitter-sweet taste. Could you please stop ying tricks on me?" Brian picked up the cake''s box, walked outside, and said, "J has started her own bakery recently, and she made this cake all by herself. I was going to bring it to you to relief some of your stupid lovesickness. But, since you don''t like it, forget about it." But when Brian was at the door, he was dragged back by Bill, who then took back the cake box and cheerfully said, "Bro, why didn''t you say this from the beginning! Here, take my living expense this month. Take it and bring me a piece of cake every day!" Brian put the money back into Bill''s pocket, and said, "I''m busy." ''Don''t be so ridiculous. I''d hate to create opportunities for you, '' thought Brian. But Bill wasn''t stupid either. He curled his lips, and murmured, "I know you don''t want J to know she will always have my back if she ever needs it. Bro, you can''t do this to me!" Brian adjusted his hat and then gave him an oblique look. "I can''t?" said Brian, "Then I won''t bring you not even a single piece of cake from now on!" After hearing his words, Bill immediately held his shoulder and shed him a ttering smile, "Bro, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I''ll run five kilometerster! Please!" Brian shook him off, straightened his body with decency and then left the room. Jane''s Cake Shop was on the right track business wise, and Samuel and E again went on travelling around the world with John. J now looked at the empty mansion, feeling more lonely than ever. Jerry and Sally had moved outside of the house after getting married. She was left alone, all by herself now. One day, J received a special order from Brian. As his grandfather General Han was going to have his 90th birthday soon, he wanted to order a special birthday cake from J''s bakery. "Thest birthday party grandfather had was his 80th. This time, I want to surprise him. J, could you please make him a birthday cake ande to his birthday party with me? Grandfather will sure to be happy if you are there." Brian slowly drove the military car in the Royal Mansion Neighborhood with J sitting in the passengers seat. "Why did you ask me to attend grandpa''s birthday party?" she asked. "There will be many friends at my grandfather''s birthday party. How about you attend the party as my femalepanion?" As far as he knew, J had no contact with Daniel Si at all recently, which made him very happy. J hesitated for a moment. If she attended the party as Brian''s femalepanion, everyone might consider that she was Brian''s girlfriend. "I don''t think it''s appropriate, " J said. The car stopped in front of Mansion No. 8 and Brian turned off its engine. He then adjusted J''s cor, and said, "Don''t think too much about it. You''re only attending my grandfather''s birthday party. It''s no big deal, Bill will also be there." J again hesitated for a while, but finally nodded her head, and said, "But I''m only skilled at making small desserts, I''m not good at making cakes. I''m afraid..." Cakes in her shop were made by the master baker hired by her father. Indeed, she could make cakes, but they weren''t incredible. Brian got out of the car first, opened the front-passenger door for her and then helped her get out of the car. "Nevermind. It''s just the thought that counts. Grandfather is sure to be happy with your cake." A gust of wind suddenly messed her hair. Brian tucked it back behind her ears. But then a Rolls-Royce slowly came towards them on the alley, and its headlights were suddenly turned on, revealing J and Brian. J clearly saw Spark and the man sitting on the back seat. She quickly looked away in the opposite direction, and the Rolls-Royce passed them. ''Daniel and I are strangers, '' thought J, who then felt a sudden shrieking pain in her heart. "J?" Brian, filled with bitterness now, called her. He also saw who the man in the car was. J came to her senses again, and said, "OK. When is the birthday party?" "The party will be held at Caesar Pce the night after tomorrow. I''ve booked the whole first and second floors, and I heard grandfather had invited his army friends and some businessmen. Don''t worry about the media, I''ve asked the security staff to ban any media from entering the venue." He hadn''t seen the specifics yet, which were listed by his grandfather. "I got it, " answered J. "You''ve been busy for the whole day. Go to bed early tonight, " said Brian. After seeing J enter the mansion, Brian started the car and then drove off. J took a quick shower and felt sleepy. She had been so busy recently that she couldn''t bear it anymore. Shey in the bed and yed for a while with her mobile phone. She opened her Weibo and started viewing the hot topics in the news. The topic ranking No. 1 in the polls was posted by Kate Song, which wrote, "Thank you for all your support." She then added a red heart emoji at the end of the post. She also posted nine pictures. In the middle picture, she was wearing a sky-blue evening dress and stood on a stage, with her hand in Daniel''s. The rest of the eight pictures were selfies, in which she looked powerful and confident. The firstment came from Daniel. There was not a single word in thisment, but only a rose Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. emoji, which seemed to speak out for itself. Netizens were all wailing mournfully at hisment, "Mr. Si actually showing his affection in public!" "I''m so envious of Kate Song, the firstdy, " wrote ament. "I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, " said anotherment. J felt sad and immediately quit the topic. She continued to scroll the news on Weibo but saw nothing of interest. ''What about posting a picture?'' thought J. She got up from the bed and took a picture of the mango mousse cake she had brought back home. There were mango and mango blossoms on the top of the cake. "The five petals of the mango blossoms stand for the five arrows of Kamadeva, the god of love. I hope someday I will go to India and worship the goddess Saraswati, " she wrote. She clicked the "Send" button and instantly regretted within one minute. She didn''t know since when she had be so irrational. Thousands ofments immediately came pouring in on her post. She searched them for a long time, but didn''t see thement that she really wanted to see. J felt frustrated, but then saw ament from aizen called "Eagle", which wrote, "I''ll take you there." Chapter 55 Youre My Boyfriend Chapter 55 You''re My Boyfriend But soon enough, thement was lost and was covered among the other ones. She clicked on Eagle''s ount page and found out that his posts were all about affairs regarding the military. She knew who he was now. She sighed and left it alone. But then, his background information was then searched by the other users and hisment was pinned to the top. J had no choice but to write him back, "Brian, thank you!" Just those three words were enough to make the post sweet, without knowing why. Maybe it was because a lot ofments wrote that the two of them were actually disying their love in public. ''Forget it, I don''t want to read any morements, they make me kind of bitter, '' J thought. Logging off the Weibo, she went to bed and quickly fell asleep. In the study room of Mansion No. 9 The room was filled with cigarette smoke, and Daniel was sitting in front of his desk with half a cigarette between his lips and browsing the recent Weibo posts. The ashtray next to him was already filled with more than ten cigarette butts. He smoked one more cigarette, and then another... The two eyes in the picture looking at the mango were like enemies to him. After some time, he stubbed out another cigarette, logged off his Weibo ount, and called Kate. "Daniel, haven''t you gone to bed already? It''ste!" Kate was surprised to receive a call from Daniel at thiste time at night. "Kate, if you ever dare to touch my phone again, I''ll leave you!" The woman''s satisfaction was stopped all of a sudden, and she felt heart-broken, "Daniel, but you''re my boyfriend. I just posted on Weibo, what''s the matter?" Thement was actually written by Kate herself. She had stolen his phone when he was too busy to notice. "You should already know why you''re my girlfriend. If you''re aware of that, then don''t try to ask for more than you should, " said Daniel. Kate was only like his first girlfriend... Then J hade into his life and he never had to think of this anymore. Kate thought of what Daniel had talked to her that night and she forced out a faint smile on the phone, "I understand, Daniel. Sleep tight." When she had finished talking with Daniel on the phone, Kate held Kelsen in her arms, which she had just bathed. She was touching its soft fur when she came up with a marvelous idea. At Caesar Pce There were many policemen dressed as civilians, still wearing their guns at their waists, patrolling the surroundings. Six security guards were standing at the gates, and all the guests had to go through three check-points before they were granted entry to the hotel. At seven sharp, an Audi military vehicle stopped in front of the hotel''s gates. Brian, who was wearing his green military uniform, opened the driver seat''s door, got out of the car, and then he handed the keys to the car boy and went around to the passenger seat to open the door. A girl stretched out her right hand to him and he held it as she got out of the car. She was dressed in a pink evening dress, and she held her by the waist as he helped her get out of the car. Then, all of a sudden, a Rolls-Royce stopped right next to them. Spark got out of the driver''s seat and quickly opened the back seat door, and a man wearing a pair of ck new leather shoes and a well-tailored suit came into peoples'' sight. As was expected, the man was Daniel, who had the same icy-cold look drawn all over his face. Then a woman, dressed in an elegant ck evening dress, also got out of the car; it was Kate. She then gracefully advanced forward and held Daniel''s arm. They turned around, and their eyes met with the other two people standing right next to them. The two of them intensely looked at each other, while J drew her gaze from the opposing couple and just kept holding on to the big palm which was resting on her waist. "Brian, let''s go!" she said. Bearing the bitter looks, J and Brian walked to the trunk of the car and took the birthday cake out of it. The four of them then went into the hotel, two at a time. Daniel and Kate''s presence shocked everyone there because they were both beautiful and looked like a match made in heaven.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. When Daniel was greeting Charles Han, J showed up, holding Brian''s arm. J, who was dressed in a pink dress, instantly attracted everyone''s attention. The color, with its few white ornaments on it, suited J very much, andplimented her white skin. Her facial features had inherited all of Samuel''s and E''s best traits, which were so attractive that they captured everyone''s attention. And she was now standing close to Brian, like a lovely bird, and that made all the young men there feel envious and jealous of him. After Brian had also greeted the military officers there, he brought J to greet Charles, who was in a pleasant mood. "Grandpa Han, happy birthday to you and good health!" J greeted Charles with much respect. Her moves were so polite and graceful, just like a celebrateddy of the upper-ss society of today were supposed to be. Then Brian handed the cake to Charles, "Grandpa, this is a cake made by J herself, " he said. Charles took the cake and passed it on to one of the waiters. "J, thank you very much, you are such a good girl, " spoke Charles smiling and looking at her. J shook her head and grinned a sweet smile, "Grandpa Han, you are very wee. I hope you don''t mind if my cake isn''t good enough for you." "If it is made by you, of course I''ll like it!" Charles thenughed, and said, "Jane, Daniel has also arrived here just now. Have you two met each other yet?" asked Charles. Then he carefully looked at the two standing in front of him. J then took a look at Kate, who was holding Daniel and smiling. Her face turned a little pale, but then grinned a smile and looked back at Charles. She said, "Grandpa Han, do you know that Sven has broken up with his girlfriend because of me?" "Really? What happened?" Sven was General Si''s nephew, so Charles of course knew all about him. "Because I''m Sven''s sworn sister, and that he has treated me so well, his girlfriend became jealous, and this resulted in them breaking up. I''ve learned my lesson, and I better keep a distance from Daniel, who is also my sworn brother." Now everyone understood the current situation, and Kate''s heart trembled a little, and said, "J, there''s no need to be sensitive about this. Daniel is your sworn brother, and I will probably be your sworn sister-inw soon. Of course, I will treat you well and with respect." Kate''s words made J''s face be pale. The man standing opposite to her kept his silence during the whole conversation and didn''t seem to want to open his mouth any time soon. So J just returned a smile, and said, "Then I congratte Miss Song and brother Daniel in advance now, and I wish them only happiness. Let''s go now, Brian." Then Brian looked at J and smiled, "OK." J''s behavior won everyone''s praise andpliments. "Who said that Samuel''s daughter is distasteful? Just look at her, her manners are so good. She really is a well-brought-updy." "I''ve heard that J Shao was very wayward not long ago. Did you know that? I also hear that she''s good at kickboxing." "No matter what happened before with her, she is performing so elegantly on this special asion today. She moves with such social grace." Two military officer wives were talking and nodding to each other, while looking at J''s back. After J and Brian had made their greetings to Charles, they turned around and were just about to go on their way. "Jane, my dear Jane!" A voice attracted everyone''s attention, and J was surprised to see a boy in the distance running towards her. "Bill!" Bill, who was also dressed in his military uniform, was holding a pink rose bouquet and was striding towards J. Charles let out a heavy cough to remind Bill to take care of his manners, but he ignored it and was just about ready to give J a big hug. Brian immediately pushed J to the side and, without even expecting it, Bill dropped to Brian''s arms and held him tightly. "Jane, oh I missed you very much! Have you missed me? Well, have you?" spoke Bill while he was indulging himself in "J''s" hug. Chapter 56 How Could Two Good Friends Ever Get Married Chapter 56 How Could Two Good Friends Ever Get Married J, who was standing aside and looking at Bill, tittered and replied to him, "Sure I''ve missed you." "Oh. Jane, I love you so much! Eh? Jane, when have you be so stiff?" asked Bill. He felt puzzled, and when he looked up he saw Brian''s cold, stiff face, which almost made him throw away the bunch of roses he held in his arms. He also heard people around him slightlyughing and mocking him. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. He then felt embarrassed, and loosened Brian instantly, asking, "Brian, why are you hugging me?" "It was you who rushed over to hug me in the first ce!" replied Brian. He also gave Bill a look. With his swarthy face a little twisted from the amount of training he was going through, Bill snorted and then gave the roses in his arms to J, who was standing next to him, as if he presented to her the dearest of treasures. "Jane, look. These are the pink roses I managed to order from abroad. Do they exceed your expectations? Are you surprised? Do you like them?" asked Bill. J, who was now looking at the pink bouquet, released Brian''s arm and took the roses. "Hum, yes, I like them, " replied J. Maybe Bill was the only one in the whole world who knew that she loved pink roses. He was also the only one who had given her pink roses since her return home to C Country. She was enjoying smelling the fresh scent of the rare, pink roses. She, indeed, loved their faint smell. Standing opposite her, Bill was still talking about the roses, "... There are nine roses in total in the bouquet. They are sending out the faint scent now. I know you will..." And then, J suddenly gave Bill a big hug, which surprised everyone around them. With a cool expression ring in his eyes, Brian stared at the pink roses in J''s arms, seeming to know something. What was really going on? Was J Brian''s girlfriend? Why did she hug Bill just now? Or did they think of it too much? Was it really just a hug? Bill was bbergasted, and tried hard to utter thest two words of his phrase, "Like it." ''Who is hugging me? Is it Jane? Yes, that''s true. My lovely Jane is really hugging me!" thought Bill. But just when Bill was ecstatic and was about to hug her back, J left her embrace, and said, "Bill, you really are a good friend!" On hearing her words, everyone felt relieved, while Bill, who was in ecstasy just a moment ago, began to be more and more morose. "Come on, I have so much to tell you. Please, follow me, " said Bill. And after he finished these words, he dragged J towards the back gate, but was soon stopped by Brian. "Don''t go anywhere yet. Grandfather''s birthday ceremony is about to start." OK! This time, Bill pulled her in the front of the dessert table which was nearby, and Brian followed them. The three of them got together and started chatting with each other. But, however, Brian in fact didn''t utter a single word, his face growing grim by the moment. And this was just because Bill was the only one speaking during the whole conversation; he kept on saying on and on about how much he had missed J. Also, hepletely ignored Brian, and repeatedly talked about his longing pain for J. "Jane, I''m behaving well in the military camp. Are you still willing to wait for me?" asked Bill. Brian picked up a ss of red wine near him from the table and clinked it with the one in Bill''s hand, saying, "Wait for you? For eight years or maybe ten years or more? I''m afraid that Jane will be long be married when you finally be a military officer, " finished Brian. When he opened his mouth to say something, Bill then thought that Brian''s words actually made some sort of sense. "If not, Jane, I can leave the military camp. Will you marry me then?" asked Bill. "Marry you? You''ve got nothing now. How can you make Jane happy, or provide for her happiness?" Brian argued. He began to look at J, who was fondling the roses he had given her. J loved that bunch of roses so much that she couldn''t keep her eyes off of them from the moment she first saw them. Bill thought that Brian was, indeed, probably right, so he said to J, "Jane, we can get married first, and I will return to the military camp and work hard while you can stay at home and look after our home. What do you say?" Brian also expected the life that Bill had just described. After he married Jane he could go to the military camp to work during the daytime, and then return to the house where she waited for him in the evening... This time, Brian kept silent, but J said, "I don''t think so. Bill, you''d better stay in the military camp and work hard for your future. How could two good friends ever get married? Forget about it!" ... With the corners of his mouth pulled down in a grimace, Bill red at Brian, and said, "Don''t you think for a moment that I''ve beenpletely cut off from the outside world since my phone was confiscated in the military camp thesest few days. Everyone on the inte is saying that you are in a rtionship. Is that true?" asked Bill. Brian didn''t know how to answer the question, while J, who worried that this rumor would ruin their brothers feelings, said, "Bill, please don''t hate Brian. I also take him as being my brother, because I already love someone else. You''d better obediently stay in the military camp and take care of yourself!" "Have you fallen in love with someone else?" asked Bill. ''The one she loves isn''t Brian, but who else could it be?'' Bill looked at J, even more confused. They were apart for only a few couple of months, and J had already fallen in love with someone else!" He believed that it was all his grandfather''s fault, because J had never had a crush on anyone else when he had stayed with her before, abroad. "Well, Bill, today is your grandfather''s birthday ceremony, so let''s talk about something else, shall we? Otherwise, I''m afraid I can''t ept your roses anymore." J looked at the flowers in her arms, feeling a kind of pity for them. She had epted Bill''s roses in honor of their good friendship. And if Bill was still stubborn and still didn''t understand, she was afraid that she couldn''t be friends with him any longer and couldn''t ept the flowers. Bill immediately shook his head, and said, "Jane, please don''t shut me out. We''re good friends!" ''No! I can''t push Jane too hard. Otherwise, she will be scared of me, '' thought Bill. J smiled and tapped him on the shoulder, saying: "That''s right, Bill! Come on and let me introduce to you to these desserts right here. They were made by my master pastry chef in my shop. Please, try one." This time, it was J''s turn to show Bill the good desserts. She urged Bill to taste the hearty desserts, and when they stood together they looked like two cute little children. But Bill, who had already ate a lot of desserts, had already been filled up before the birthday ceremony had even started. When he heard his grandfather say that the cake had been made by J personally, Bill regretted that he was now too full to eat not even a single bite more. It was a threeyered giant white cake, with a birthday peach on the top made out of cream. The peach was sprinkled with some edible pink powder. And there were some words written near the peach: "We wish grandpa Han only good health and to be forever young!" The cake''s edges were coated with cheese, and decorated with a red floral border. And there was even some peach-shaped little frostings surrounding the cake''s floral border. Even though it wasn''t as masterfully build as a cake made by a master pastry chef, it looked, indeed, quite appetizing. All people sat at their ces at the long tables, and then the waiters began to serve the dishes in an orderly way. And there were even a few more waiters who were in charge of exclusively serving the birthday cake. When they walked up to Kate and Daniel, who were now talking with two retired military officers, the waiters said, "Mr. Si and Miss Song, please enjoy the cake." Kate hesitated for a moment, but then took a piece of cake and put it in front of Daniel. Daniel, who kept on talking with the two military officers, just briefly nced at the cake. Kate took a deep breath and asked the waiter to also serve her one piece. Then Charles began saying a few words, which quickly silenced all the other people who were talking at that moment. "Thank you foring to my birthday anniversary. The cake in front me was baked by J Shao personally. Please have a taste of it. And if any of you thinks that it tastes magnificent, I wee your support to this girl who has just started her own business." Chapter 57 Whos the Owner of the Samoyed Outside in the Garden Chapter 57 Who''s the Owner of the Samoyed Outside in the Garden J''s name was just mentioned, and she felt very nervous for a while; she then stood up alongside Brian. After nodding to the guests, she spoke in a tender voice, "Grandpa Han, thank you, and also many thanks to all the honorable guests present here. A lot of you are aplished elders, and please forgive me if you find that my cake is not good enough." "You, the Shao family''s girl, are so modest. I''ve heard that your shop is always crowded and the monthly business turnover is good, and that''s because the owner works very hard and is serious with each and every one of her cakes." Wesley Si, the general officer, first spoke. He now had to support this girl, as she was the sworn daughter of his cousin. After Charles Han and Wesley Si''s praises went to J, the other guests present also followed their examples and made theirpliments: "The Shao family''s girl has both her father''s and mother''s best genes, and she boldly started her own bakery at such an early age. That is not an easy task to aplish, indeed!" "Right, my granddaughter has bought desserts from her shop, and they tasted really good." "Mr. Han made J Shao a special introduction. Does that mean that she could maybe get married with Brian very soon?" "Aren''t they top gossip these days on the Inte? It said online that they are actually boyfriend and girlfriend." "The Shao family and Han family, if they are united under this marriage, their power will be very great." ... With a decent smile on her face, J sat down beside Brian and finally rxed. There were so many elders here that she had to be extra careful and not to make any more trouble. If she were to offend anyone of these elders, that would count as big bad jokeing on her behalf and of her family''s! Daniel still kept calm and silent in the midst of all these discussions. Even when someone happened to casually mention J''s name to him, he still showed little or no care, as if that was the name of an unknown person. Then the guests began to take their forks in their hands and had a try of J''s cake; so did Daniel. He sliced the cake into three pieces and then put one of it into his mouth. Kate began to feel a little uneasy, as she knew that Daniel didn''t eat any sweets at all. Even when they were engaged in social or business-like activities, he never touched the desserts in the hotels. But now... When the dinner was almost at it''s end, J gave Brian a notice and then she left her seat at the table to go to thedy''s room. Bill, who was sitting right next to her, wouldn''t miss the chance to be alone together with J, so he also sat up and walked towards the men''s room. J washed her hands and came out, but then she saw that Bill was standing there, leaning his back against the wall, waiting for her. "Jane, " he spoke. Bill was so excited to see her again and jumped out of his shoes toe near her. J threw a tissue in the dustbin, and said, "Why did you follow me for?" "I saw you sitting up from the table, so I followed you out. You know, I am always ready to protect you no matter what." Bill rested his arms on J''s shoulder and then they walked together back towards the dinning hall. When they passed by a door, J took a look at the garden, and said, "I want to take a breath of fresh air, outside. You go ahead first, I''lleter." "Ie with you, " replied Bill without hesitation, and with this he put his hands inside his pockets. J didn''t refuse him, but said, "Then you go back and bring the rose bouquet for me so that I can put it in the car first." ''The flowers are beautiful, I have to take care of them, '' she thought. "OK, you wait for me here, " said Bill. Then he went back to the dinning hall, grabbed the pink rose bouquet, and again went out. Brian was watching Bill''s strange moves all the way, and then saw him joining with J at one of the dinning hall''s doors and then walking with her into the garden. ''What are they doing?'' he pondered. Brian put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and then followed them out in the garden. Holding the rose bouquet happily in her hands, J walked in front of Bill, and asked, "Bill, when are you going back to the military unit?" "Can''t you stop mentioning such sad topics? I have to go back there tomorrow." Bill couldn''t help but to stare at J, and he thought that it was a pity to leave her alone and wondered when he would ever meet her again. Wearing her six-inch-height crystal high-heels, J wrapped her white shawl on her shoulder and patted on Bill''s shoulder, "Remember to train well when you return there, and learn from your cousin, Brian, how to be a great man for the country." Bill sadly curled his lips, "Did you really fall in love with Brian? You should have asked me to take him as an example!" he said. He admitted the fact that his cousin was, indeed, excellently well trained and behaved, and except for the first andst time when he was punished and demoted, he had never made a mistake in his entire military career. "No, Brian is just like my brother. He is excellent, indeed, and that''s why I ask of you to learn from him. Do you have any moreints regarding this?" As they strolled in the garden they kept chatting for a while longer. Bill seemed to think of something, and suddenly he stopped to stare at J with a serious and sober look on his face, "Jane, tell me, who is the man you fell in love with? If he is really that excellent and treats you very well, I will give up my endeavors with you." Bill''s question made Brian, who was almost catching up with them in the back, stop in his steps and hold his breath. He was carefully listening and waiting to how J was going to answer this question. As both of the two men were now focused on J''s answer, they didn''t notice that something was odd with their surroundings. J hesitated for a moment, and considered whether she really should tell Bill or not. But that man didn''t love her, and on a second thought, J gave up hiding her feelings towards him any longer, and she said, "I..." When she was just opening her mouth a barking noise was heard, and then a huge dog lunged at J. "Ah!" Screaming hysterically, J was knocked down to the ground and stepped over by a dog. The paining from her arms paralyzed J''s movements and she stopped moving altogether for a N?velDrama.Org owns this text. few moments. "Jane!" "J!" The two men ran to J''s help at the same time. The Samoyed dog was licking J''s cheek with its tongue. J nearly came to a breakdown point, and she pushed away the dog with all her strength, but was quickly lunged down again by the huge dog. Brian and Bill together held the Samoyed dog under control, and when J finally could stand back up on her feet, her face was all pale. When they heard the noises, the security guards came to their aid, "Go and ask the dog''s owner to shouted the order to them. The Samoyed still wanted to bite him, but its snout was gripped tight in Brian''s hands. For Brian, the Samoyed dog was a piece of cake; once, when he was in a mission, he had fought a wolf with his own bare hands. "Yes, Mr. Han." the guards answered. "Wait, I''ming with you." Bill nced at J, who was now shivering with fear, and then furiously strode inside the dinning hall with the security guards. Pets horrified J because she had been bitten by a dog with rabies virus when she was only ten years old. If it were not for the doctors arriving in time, she would have been infected with the virus. In the dinning hall, Bill, wearing a cold face, as well as the two guards who followed him behind, attracted everyone''s attention. "Who''s the owner of the Samoyed outside in the garden? Stand up, now!" Bill''s anger was obvious on his face, and Charles frowned, and slightly cautioned him, "Bill, mind your words!" "Grandpa, Jane has been attacked by the Samoyed dog, how can I mind my words?" What Bill had just said made all of the people in the dinning hall burst into an uproar. Kate''s heart trembled, and she tightly held Daniel''s hand. Then, she stood up from her seat, and admitted, "It''s my dog." Daniel got free of her hand and seemed to be emanating a sort of icy-cold aura. Chapter 58 I Never Expected That You Could Be So Heartless and Unreasonable Chapter 58 I Never Expected That You Could Be So Heartless and Unreasonable "And you are?" rudely asked Bill. He didn''t really know who Kate really was because he had been isted form the outside world in the military camp for all this time. After she heard the question, Kate felt a little embarrassed, and said, "You''d better check on J first." Uttering these words, she stood up from her chair and went to the back garden where J and Brian were still waiting. And then arge group of people followed her. In the garden, when it saw its owner, the Samoyed suddenly broke away from Brian''s grasp andid down next to Daniel, sticking out its tongue to him. Brian helped J get back up on her feet and then tenderly smoothed her bangs which were a little tousled. Kate walked up to J, and said, "So sorry for what happened, J. I thought Kelsen had been tied, and I sure didn''t expect that he could attack you. Did you get injured in any way?" But J didn''t care a bit for the caring words she was saying. "Please, take your dog away, throw it into the sea and let it drown, " said Bill furiously. He, being a young maning from a wealthy family, had started to lose his temper again. Charles thought that Bill had gotten rid of his ill-advised bad temper, but he was even more disappointed in him when he saw how he was reacting. J wiped the Samoyed''s saliva with the back of her hand off her face, and coldly said, "Miss Song, if you own a dog, then why don''t you look after it, and let it attack people? Do you think a simple apology can solve the problem and make it miraculously go away?"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Kate felt embarrassed again, thinking that J was indeed relentless with her this time. "Both Daniel and I like Kelsen. What happened today was because he was untied, and I sincerely apologize to you for that, " said Kate. She mentioned Daniel, believing that J couldn''t dare be anymore rude to her if she brought up Daniel in the conversation. However, she was wrong. "And just because you and Daniel like it? Does that give it the right to attack other people? Miss Song, please send your beloved dog away from here, now, " said J. She could forgive it once, but couldn''t tolerate it for a second time. She also didn''t understand why the dog always jumped her. "No, J. I''ve already apologized to you, but why are you still ming the dog?" Now, Kate also seemed to be furious, and spoke in an aggressive tone and manner. Brian rolled up J''s sleeve, exposed her elbow, and asked, "Can you see? Miss Song?" Arge area of J''s skin was grazed when the dog jumped her. It was the same for the other elbow. "Did you just ask me that I still insist on ming the dog? Whatever, think whatever you like. Daniel spoiled both you and your dog, and you''re afraid of him, but that doesn''t mean that I have to! It has to be sent away from here, now!" With an obstinate expression glimmering in her eyes, she directly looked at the silent man standing in front of her next to Kate. Several people gasped silently and wondered how could J be so confident in herself that she could resist Daniel so openly in public. "No need to say any more. Please ask the guards to pull the dog away and beat it to death!" Bill looked at J''s abraded skin feeling very distressed; she had been alright up until that moment. Kate, who now got even more restless, hurried up to Daniel''s side, and said, "Daniel..." After that, Daniel firmly said, "I will be responsible for all of J''s medical fees and mental anguish While she heard this, Kate was again more joyful and felt relieved, thinking that Daniel still cared deeply about her and showed her the respect she deserved in front of so many people present. J, when she heard what Daniel had just said, stared at him in disbelief, her face bing paler and paler by the minute. She shook Brian and Bill off, and walked alone. After she took a few steps, she found that her ankle was also hurt and that she was limping. Standing in front of Daniel, she looked him in the eyes, and said, "Daniel Si, you must send the dog away! If you don''t agree with me, then go find another dog, and let it attack Kate. If you do that, I''ll let what happened to me pass!" When she heard this, Kate got even more angry and hated J even more. ''J Shao, you''re really overweening now and are borderline shameless. How dare you force me to send my dog away. I will not let you off so easily!'' thought Kate. "J Shao, I warn you..." spoke Daniel. When she heard him utter the word "warn", J felt a sudden, sharp pain in her temples, and said, "Don''t warn me! Except for that, what else could you do or say? Do you only listen to Kate Song, and justpletely ignore my feelings? Do I really deserve to be bullied twice by a damned dog? Daniel Si, I know you''re indifferent to all of this, but I never expected that you could be so heartless and unreasonable!" When they saw what was happening, all the people around them were so shocked that they barely even breathed. These two individuals... were strange. Even Brian and Bill had also fixed their eyes on them when they were arguing with each other. When he looked at J and saw how furious she was, Bill seemed to be understanding something then. With her eyes getting red and almost filling with tears, J looked at Daniel''s livid face, and said, "I don''t want your medical fees or your mentalpensation! Daniel Si, I despise you from the bottom of my heart!" With these words, J arrogantly turned around and left, walkingmely towards the other side of the garden. How mean was she in his eyes? If the Samoyed hadn''t attacked her twice, she wouldn''t have still insisted on asking Kate to send the dog away? She hadn''t mentioned killing the dog; she had just asked Kate to send it away... Could it have been that, for Daniel, she was inferior than the dog? When J closed her eyes, two lines of tears came rolling down her cheeks. Brian spoke a few words to Bill, who was staring at Daniel, and then walked up to J, who was then leaving the garden, to hold her in his arms. After a little while, they both disappeared. The guard, when he looked at the dog lying on the ground, asked for further instructions from Daniel, "Mr. Si, what should we do about the dog..." "Please send it away, as far away as possible, " replied Daniel. Daniel, looking gloomy, turned around and entered the banquet hall after he finished talking. Kate followed him, and said, "Daniel, Kelsen..." Daniel just ignored her and left straight away after he said his goodbyes to Charles back in the banquet hall. Bill, who entered the hall a few minutester, was still staring at Daniel''s, who was then leaving. He was very confused, and wondered why would Jane love a man who was so merciless. "Bill, what just happened?" Charles asked his younger grandson, who was just standing there and wearing a nk look on his face. Bill then walked up closer to Charles, and replied, "The matter has been settled, grandfather. Jane''s elbow was a little grazed and Brian took her to the hospital." "She really got hurt? Is it serious?" "It may be not be so serious, but it looked very painful indeed. I''ll also go and check on herter, when the ceremony is over." After he spoke these words, Bill sat at the table next to his grandfather. Brian told him not to let this matter affect everyone''s mood because there were some other distinguished guests here. Charles nodded, seeming to be thinking of something. Brian drove J to the military hospital. J didn''t utter a single word all the way, but just silently sat in car after she finally stopped crying. Doctor Wan disinfected the wound on her injured elbow and applied some medicine to it. Her ankle wasn''t injured, so he just helped her knead it in some bandages, just in case. On their way back, Brian was about to speak, "J..." But then hesitated when he nced at her. J shook her head, and said, "Brian, thanks for taking me to the hospital. I feel much better now." At The Royal Mansion "J, please don''t weep for him any more, " finally spoke Brian. He lifted J from the car and could not help holding her in his arms. He also felt his heart break when he saw her look so painful. J didn''t refuse his loving embrace, and gently leaned on his shoulder, and said, "OK." Chapter 59 Its Exclusively for Luring Men Chapter 59 It''s Exclusively for Luring Men From now on, they would have to go their separate ways, and have no connection with each other. "OK, little girl, rest well and don''t think too much about it. Call me anytime if you ever need my help!" He wiped the tears off her face andforted her in a sweet and tender voice. "Thank you, Brian." Brian looked at her affectionately, and said, "J, there''s no need to treat me so courteously." J raised her head, looked at him with guilt, and said, "Brian... I can''t give you what you want from me, so please leave me alone from now on. I don''t want to cause you any more trouble." ''Mr. Han must be so irritated about what just happened tonight, '' thought J while letting off a sigh. "J, don''t say that. Don''t refuse my friendship just because of that." Brian was actually really happy if he could see her all the time. And if she was happy, he was happy.. And if she were sad, he would also feel sad and heart-broken. J nodded to him and, rolling her eyes, then came up with an idea. "OK, then I need to settle on three basic principals with you, " she started. "What''s that?" Brian wondered what she had in mind. "It''s already toote at night now. Go back home first and I''ll tell you about itter in a text, before going to bed." ''Brian is usually busy, I can''t be a burden to him, '' thought J. "Fine, you go in now." And as usual, Brian didn''t left until he saw her safely go into the mansion. After a quick wash, J went to bed and began to text the three principals to Brian. "First, you can''t ever quit or dy your work because of me." "Second, don''t refuse approaching other women just because of me." "Third, you can''t make any irrational decisions because of me." Sitting in the car, and reading the texts, Brian couldn''t help butugh. She was actually still guilty for rank demotion, and she didn''t want to get him involved in any more trouble because of her. ''She is a good girl, indeed, '' he thought. "I promise you, " he texted back. J smiled and then felt more rxed. Then she ced her phone on the bedside table and was just about to fall to sleep. But then the phone suddenly rang, and when J picked it up and saw that the caller was... Her eyes reddened in an instant, but then she put back the phone on the bedside table. Closing her eyes, she just let the phone ring on and on, without answering it. The man wearing a white, high-necked sweater, and ck casual trousers and shoes, now was standing under mansion No. 8''smppost. He was staring at the second floor room which still had the lights turned on, with his left hand inside his trousers'' pocket and his right hand holding the phone over his ear. He kept this posture diligently for more than ten minutes. But, eventually, J softened her heart and answered the phone. "Open the door, " he said. In just these three simple words, J could feel his cold, imperious imperatives, devoid of any emotion... "Sorry, I have to go to bed now, " answered J. "Jane, in two minutes, if the door is not yet opened, I''ll be installing a new one, " he said. ... Two minutester, J was slightly panting after she rushed down to the ground floor and opened the mansion''s door. There stood the tall man, in front of her. She was about to go out and talk with him, but before she had a chance to close the door behind her, he pushed her back in. "Just finish whatever you have to say outside, why are youing in?" J furiously stared at the man standing close to her. Daniel lifted his foot and kicked the door behind. Daniel held up her chin, and said, "Who allowed you toe there?" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. In an instant, the woman''s eyes reddened. How much did this man really hate her that he had toe and see her and get even with her in the middle of the night? She said, "You''re the one who showed up there first, and now you''re in my house!" Knowing what she really meant, he said, "It''s your mother who''s asked me toe here." J shed a cold smile and then got rid of his grip, "It was Brian who invited me to the party!" She dared to mention that man to him. "J, are you proud that you have a boyfriend? Do you have to show off your love to one another everyday, here, outside of the mansion? Why are you asking him to drive you back so often? Don''t you have a car yourself? If you don''t have one anymore, I can arrange something for you!" J fluttered her eyshes, and feeling innocent, thought ''Why did he say that Brian often drove her back home? It happened only once or twice in half a month!'' And then she said, "Yes, I am proud to have a boyfriend! Haven''t you got a girlfriend, too? You also disyed your love on Weibo. Do you think you''re in the position to me others?" Daniel then grabbed her head in his palms and pressed her to the wall. If she weren''t angry, J would have surely been awed by his tender move. She rested her hands on his chest and couldn''t help but grabbing his soft, white woolen sweater. She had seldom seen Daniel dressing in such casual clothing. Actually, this was the first time she had ever seen him dressed like this! Without his formal ck western suit, Daniel now looked much younger. He was squinting at her, whose eyes were roaming about the room, and then caught hold of her restless hands. "Just open your mouth and speak, and keep your hands still!" The man''s breath came suddenly in short gasps and fell on her face. J''s face turned red at his words, which seemed to mean that she was tempting him again, and said, "Daniel, please get out. I don''t want to talk with you anymore." But the man drew her even closer to him, and their foreheads touched. Eyes on her, he pulled up her shirt sleeves, exposing the wounds on her elbows. "What? Did youe tough at me? It''s funny, right? Even a dog can bully me!" J pulled back her arms and pulled down the sleeves over them. Pushing away him. she opened the door, and said, "Get out, get out now!" The man again kicked the door, then held her by the neck and leaned forward to kiss her hard on her red lips. He was losing himselfpletely in the familiar scent. He held J tight in his arms, and he really didn''t want to let her off, not even for a second. After some time, he let her go, and puffing and blowing fast, and said, "Jane, have you put any drugs on your lips?" J''s legs now were so weak that she just leaned herself in his arms. Her red lips looked like a pair of ripe cherries. "Yeah, it''s exclusively for luring men!" she answered. His eyes were now burning like two hot coals and he took another bite on her lips. J felt a sudden pain and then pushed him away, "You bastard! Get out, now!" ''Get out?'' he thought. Daniel''s eye grew bigger and bigger, and then he dragged her into his arms again and she struggled, and then again, until he kissed her hard on her lips again. "Have you improved your bed skills with Brian? He''s a soldier with strong body, so you must have..." "p!" There came a clear cracking sound, and Daniel''s face was pped on one side. "Daniel, you bastard! Get out! Now!" demanded Jane. ''He came again to insult me, right? Damn it! Why do you always have to insult me?'' thought J furiously. Daniel touched his hurting face which was just pped, and a dangerous aura emanating from him soon filled the room they were in. J went upstairs, raging. ''Fine, if you won''t leave, then I will!'' she thought. But she was gripped by her hands, and stopped, and the man boasted, "J, don''t think you can get off so easily after pping me!" "I have to hit you! To hit you to death!" J then went berserk and kept hitting his chest. Daniel who took control of her frantic arms, said, "J, I haven''t seen in all my life such a wild woman like you, that doesn''t even know the difference between good and bad!" "Daniel, I''ve also never seen such an evil man like you! Fuck! Why are you chasing other women when you already got a girlfriend. Do you really think that all women in this world should fall for you? That may happen only in your daydreams!" she said. Her eloquence confused Daniel, who didn''t know whether he should be furious or amused, but hearing her foulnguage, he frowned, and said, "You''ve pped me, and spoken foul to me. And now I''m going to punish you!" Chapter 60 Now, Explain Yourself to Brian Chapter 60 Now, Exin Yourself to Brian "If you dare to touch me again, I''ll call your girlfriend and tell her that her boyfriend is a lying cheat!" ''What kind of a person am I in Daniel''s eyes?'' thought J. His big palm was pressed against her cheeks, and he said, "You''ve also touched me. How about I charge you through mywyer, Jerry?" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Isn''t it great for you to have awyer? Then I''ll ask my father to be mywyer, and then we''ll see whether the father is better than the son. What do you think about it?" J was absolutely confident in her father''s experience in dealing withwsuits. Her brother Jerry was still young and only an international silver-levelwyer; he couldn''t even remotely bepared to his father, in terms of skill. Daniel grinned an evil-like smile, "Sounds interesting, J. Maybe we can give it a try sometimes." "You are breaking into a private house and damaging my reputation. Daniel Si, where''s your decency? Has it flown over the Himyan mountains? And you have the nerve to charge me, here! Are you so confident or are you thinking too highly of yourself just for the moment?" J was good at arguing when she was confronted with delicate situations, and Daniel owed it to the fact that she had inherited Samuel''s strong genes. "J, do you know what''s the best method to handle a chatty and eloquent woman?" Daniel didn''t have the patience to waste more time with a little girl. J, after she had experienced his punishments, of course understood what his method was, and said, "Daniel, if you dare to kiss me again, you''ll just wait and see how I''m going to ruin your reputation for good!" The woman made a sly smile, and then Daniel thought of the photos that she took in his office not that long ago. His face turning pale, he finally let go off her arms. J felt moreforted, and thought that she had seeded in her threats. However, not expecting it, the man suddenly went upstairs. ''Oh, shit!'' ''He must be going to look for my phone.'' When she thought of this, J quickened up her pace and ran upstairs. But when she was just about to go ahead of him, she was suddenly dragged by the cor. J was then thrown on the ground outside the door, the man locking it from the inside, leaving her knocking outside. Soon enough, he found her phone, and the phone still had no unlock code set to it; he opened the photo album then. Daniel was shocked at the many selfies he found in the album. Some of them were nifty, cute, lovely, matured,posed, and also some were... sexy. Finally, he found the photos he was looking for. Indeed, J had saved the photos! His face then darkened and then he deleted all of them. Then he put back her phone to where it was, on the bedside table. But when he was just about to leave, Daniel picked up her phone again and opened her Wechat ount. He searched for his own Wechat ount and added it as a friend. Then he took out his own phone, and clicked the confirm button. Daniel didn''t see her messages sent with other people, because he wasn''t indiscreet. But just then her phone rang, and he saw that the call came from Brian... Hearing the knocking and shouting sounds just outside the door, Daniel answered, and said, "Hello, Mr. Han." Brian was shocked and puzzled when he heard the man''s low and cold voice that he checked if he had dialed the correct phone number. But it was correct, indeed, that was J''s number... "Where''s J?" The man gave a sly smile over the phone, and said, "She is tired and she''s asleep now." ... This shocking message left Brian dumbfounded for a while, but then said, "Daniel, don''t forget that you already have got a girlfriend. This is unfair to J." "She''s just a girlfriend. I can break up with her at any moment and make a new one in an instant, " said Daniel. The man''s putrid arrogance left Brian silent again. He really couldn''t understand how could J fall in love with such an awful man. Brian took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Daniel Si, if you hurt J I won''t let you off so easily!" Daniel smiled scornfully, and said, "Brian Han, we''re not in the same league!" Then he hung up the phone on him, threw J''s phone on the bed and then opened the door which had been nearly destroyed by J''s repeated poundings. Without expecting it, J saw the door suddenly open while she was still pounding on it, and her body dropped forwards. The man slightly moved his body and let J drop into his arms. "Daniel, who were you talking with just now?" she asked. J stuck her head out of his arms and stared at him with alertness. "Brian." He didn''t hide the fact at all and told her the answer straight. ... "What... did you talk with Brian?" J felt speechless. "I told him that you were tired and fell asleep." The answer was very ambiguous and could easily arouse many misunderstandings. J felt that her brain was going to blow up. "Daniel, how could you say something like that?" ''Oh, shit! Now Brian will think that I''m his mistress, '' thought J. Daniel carefully stared at her bewildered face. ''How much does she love Brian?'' he wondered. Staying silent, he walked pass her and walked towards the door. This time it was J''s turn to drag and stop him, "You aren''t allowed to leave!" she yelled. "Not allowed to leave? Are you inviting me to stay overnight then?" Daniel spoke with a cold smile on his lips. J''s face flushed red, and said, "No, you are overthinking things. I''m asking you to call Brian back to exin to him what actually happened!" "For what?" "You!" J was so furious that she could hardly say anything more. Fine! J then suddenly put her hand into his pocket and took out his phone out of it. Daniel then turned around, "What are you doing?" he asked. J stared back at him, "Why should I have to tell you?" "That''s my phone!" "Of course I know that''s your phone, and I''m going to make a phone call on it. Are you stupid?'''' J looked at him with provocative eyes, and touched open the screen in front of him. But then Daniel grabbed back his phone, put it back into his pocket and again was on his way to leave. "Daniel, stop!" J threw herself on him and stretched out her right arm to stop him from advancing any further. "You think you cane and go inside the Shao mansion whenever you like to? No way!" Daniel smiled indifferently, and threw a nce at her, "I''ll let you know that I really cane and go whenever I want!" ''You want me to exin myself to Brian? No way! You''d better go and wash and go to bed!'' thought Daniel. The man strode towards the staircase and J couldn''t do a thing to stop him. She stopped for a second and then jumped on his back, holding his neck. Daniel then bent down and his arms gripped on the woman''s legs. "J Shao, get down from me right now!'' ''Damn, you, J, you dare to jump on my back!'' thought Daniel. "Now, exin yourself to Brian!" J held tight on his neck, not giving any opportunity for him to escape. This was the first time that Daniel was forced and ordered around with, and his anger grew stronger by the moment, way beyond J''s strength. All of a sudden he bent down hard and, after shaking J off of him and making her scream, he then grabbed her again in his arms. He then walked back to her bedroom, and said, "Jane, you don''t want to let me leave, right? Well, your wish is granted!" ... J was speechless for a brief moment, and then looked at the man who was holding her, and said, "Don''t you understand any of my words? Exin what actually happened to Brian and then you can go!" "No way!" answered Daniel. After throwing out those two words, Daniel threw her on the wide and pink bed. And he threw off the bed all the dolls and other things onto the carpet, speaking with sarcasm in his voice, he said, "You really are beyond childish to the bone!" Chapter 61 My Brother is Coming Back Home Chapter 61 My Brother is Coming Back Home J got up from the bed, and screamed, "Don''t touch dare touch my dolls! I hate you, Daniel Si. Get out!" He threw her dolls while she was picking and putting them back on the bed. "They''re in my way so I''ll toss them away." The man again swept all the dolls from the bed. "Your way? Hah, your way? Enough of all this! I''ll call my brother Tao myself." He swept all the dolls and J eventually stopped picking them up from the floor. She jumped onto the bed,y on it, wrapped herself in the quilt and then tried to go to sleep. "Jane." The man pressed on her and forced her head out of the quilt. J looked at the evil man, and said, "I am trying to sleep, Mr. Si. Please go away now." "Go away? Jane, you''re dreaming." He opened her quilt and thought that he wouldn''t leave her alone until he had his revenge. "Don''t call me Jane!" She wouldn''t allow him to call her by her nickname. The man''s big palm rested on her pajamas button, and J looked at the smirking man in disbelief. What did he really intend to do? "Oh, Jane, Jane, Jane..." He kept annoying her by calling her by her nickname. "Shut up!" she demanded. Daniel bowed his head and ced his slender fingers on her face and gently swept them on it. "You hit me once, and I will take off one of your clothes. But you hit me twice, so..." While she screamed out her lungs her pajamas were torn in almost an instant. The little girl shivered and the pulled the quilt over her, trying to cover herself. However, Daniel did not let her have the chance, and swept her quilt off the bed. "Jane, Jane, you tied me up once, and then offended me again..." So, Jane..." She was nowpletely naked. The girl''s face flushed red while she tried to cover herself, but the quilt had been thrown off of the bed, and she couldn''t overpower him. "Daniel... Si! You''d better let go of me, or I will tell my dad and I''ll sue you. A lifetime of prison will be waiting for you!" J was furious and she had to sue the rapist! Facing her threat, he just smiled, and said, "You''re wee to do that! Sue me!" He lowered his head and then kissed her cherry red lips. His big palm held her little hand tight above her head while he began to punish her. "Ah! Daniel, you just wait and see how you''ll pay me back tomorrow! Ah... You jerk! Keep you hands off of me!" she screamed. The man blocked her red lips with his. He then said, "You are too noisy, so kissing you is the right choice at the moment." Men are self-taught jerks, so when little girls encounter them they can only surrender to them unconditionally. Ten minutester Daniel closed the bedsidemp, and then a heavy kiss fell on J''s neck. "Jane, give it to me! Give me yourself, your whole you!" he demanded. "Hum..." The girl''s twittering seemed to inspire the man, and he started unbuttoning his clothes. "... I woke up in a certain month of the year when I heard winter leave..." J''s ringtone startled the two who were immersed in the moment. J suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man and his body and pushed it away. Flustered, she wrapped herself in the quilt and, looking down at herself and then looking at the man and his neat clothes besides her, J felt insulted. She bit her lower lip, felt embarrassed and then checked her phone. It was her brother... "Hello, brother, " she answered. Her voice was hoarse so she didn''t dare to say more than she had to. "Jane, are you asleep yet? I''m just about to arrive to the house. Do you want me to pick something for you to eat?" Just about to arrive? She looked at the man next to her, and J''s heart suddenly started racing. "No, don''t worry. I am going to sleep." She refused. "Hum, are you ill? Your voice sounds odd." Jerry was driving the car while he was looking from time to time at the drowsy Sally in the passenger''s seat. He was feeling in a good mood. "No, brother, I was just sleeping. Don''t drive too fast, bye!" J then hung up the phone. She kicked the man out of bed, who was now feeling ufortable. "Get lost, my brother ising back home!" Hum... Why did she think that she was afraid of being caught in bed? Daniel turned over and pushed down on her again, "Let''s go to my ce then." His voice was hoarse and showed an atrocious lust. J saw the beads of sweating down on his forehead, but she pushed him away. "I don''t want to, Daniel. If your goal for today was to insult me, then you have more than achieved it. You can go now!" When J finished, she turned her face away from him. Daniel was confused; wasn''t it OK? Why did she be so angry again? Seeing her reaction, Daniel thought that she was saving herself for Brian. "Should I build you a chastity belt?" asked Daniel sarcastically. Afterughing, the man stood up and jumped out of bed. "Get lost! Get lost!" she demanded. A pillow then hit his head. The man then looked at her with a cold- dead stare, as if he wanted to smash her to bits and pieces. But he just took something out of his pocket, threw it at her, and then mmed the door behind him. J took the thing that resembled a small bottle of cream. There was no logo on it, but after she opened it, a fresh scent came out of it. ''What''s this?'' She wondered for a couple of minutes. Daniel had just left just before Jerry and Sally had arrived back at the mansion. J put back her pajamas and jumped out of the bedroom to greet them. They two were outside the door, kissing. Hum... J felt embarrassed and was just about to return back to her room, but then Sally pushed Jerry away. She then called for her, "Jane." "Hum... OK, I didn''t mean to pry on you. Sorry, please continue. " How could she know that they were kissing outside. Jerry rubbed his forehead, and said, "Jane, you said you were going to sleep." "Yeah... ...but I got up from the bed again!" J was stuttering a bit, and her brother''s face looked very bad. She didn''t meant to pry! "Anything else?" Jerry was clearly driving her away. J pouted, "You have your own apartment, " she said, "Why don''t you take her there? Could you leave me alone here?" Then she went to her brother. She wanted to ask Jerry something, indeed! "What? Jane, I was thinking that you were home alone and would be afraid. So I brought Sally here." Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ''Jane is as timid as a sheep. She always leaves the light on when she goes to sleep.'' Jerry thought. J handed the cream in her hand to Jerry, and then pulled Sally to her side. "Well, then let Sally sleep with me tonight! We can do a sleepover!" Sally nodded and approved. Jerry unscrewed the small bottle and looked at his sister. "If you want to hug and sleep with someone, go and find Daniel. Don''t take my wife!" He thought that he had just seen Daniel a few minutes ago! The one in the white sweater must have been him! And it was midnight! He didn''t believe that Daniel had really gone out for a walk at thatte hour in the night! Chapter 62 Add Me as Friend on WeChat Without Even Me Knowing Chapter 62 Add Me as Friend on WeChat Without Even Me Knowing "Jerry, what on earth are you talking about!", said J. She was too sheepish to look Jerry straight in the eye. ''Did they see Daniel downstairs?'', she wondered. Sally then whispered to J, "When we were on our way back here, we came across my brother. He was returning to his mansion from here, right?" Jpletely denied and shook her head, and she changed the topic immediately, "Jerry, what''s in this?" Jerry took a sniff out of it and then covered the lid, "Don''t you know? It''s an ointment developed by Chuck." "An ointment? For what?" asked J. "For an injury, bruise, whatever. It works pretty well, " replied Jerry. Jerry squinted at J, who was suddenly lost in thought, and then realized what had just happened. He passed the ointment back to his sister, "Where does it hurt?" ''Daniel brought it, '' thought Jerry. "I identally hurt my elbow. But forget about it. Jerry, Sally, I''m going to sleep now." J then took the ointment out of Jerry''s hands and then swiftly went on her way back to her bedroom. "Jane, what about us sleeping together?" asked Sally. She watched J running off. ''You''ve abandoned me so fast!'' she thought. Jerry then said, ''''Dear, don''t even think about it. We''re sleeping together!" ... In the bedroom J gawked at the ointment, and she was now confused. ''What does Daniel really want from me? What the hell was he doing here in the first ce? Was he wielding both the carrot and the stick?'' Disgruntled, J threw the ointment in the trash bin. ''I don''t give a fuck for any of your stuff! Now go to sleep!'' she thought. She turned on the bedmp, turned off the other lights in the bedroom, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and then went to sleep. Five minutester She tossed and turned for a while and then got up from her bed and searched the trash... After this, she picked up her phone, and texted Brian on WeChat, "Brian, Daniel was talking nonsense. I am not his mistress..." On second thought, she deleted those words. ''Honestly, if Jerry hadn''t called me in the nick of time, I probably would''ve had sex with Daniel...'' Feeling even distressed, J post something in her Moments, which read, "It is quite baffling! Fretful! Ah ah ah!" She locked her phone, threw it on the other side of the bed and then went back to sleep. However, five minutester, a WeChat message alerted her. J, who still couldn''t sleep, unlocked her phone and checked her inbox. She was confused by the name. S. ''Who''s S?'' she thought. J frowned at the iing message, which read, "Humph? In the mood for sex?" ''Who could this be? And why is he so rude!'' J thought. She checked his Moments, and saw that there were a lot of links about the SL Group. So, he was... "Why did you add me as friend on WeChat without even me knowing!" J texted. ''He must have added me as friend when he was locked in the room!'' "You got a problem?" he replied. ''''Of course! Unfriend me! Hurry up! Or else I''ll video-call you when you''re with your girlfriend!" texted J. "Whatever!" he replied. ... J could not help but wonder, ''Does Daniel really love his girlfriend? And if he does, why is he flirting with me... Behind his girlfriend''s back? Or, does he want to have two girlfriends at the same time?'' "You''re a scumbag!" J replied. Then she decided to just ignore him. In his study, Daniel was checking his emails. When he received the message, he looked at it thoughtfully. Early next morning, J got up out of bed, washed, and went straight to her store. Business was getting better and better in her shop recently. J was as busy as a bee every single day. And so was today. As J was making her desserts, her shop assistant frantically ran to her, "Miss Shao, a handsome man is looking for you. He wants to ce an order." "You talk with him, " replied J. She was in the middle of something. "But he''s asking for you. He is really handsome. Go and see him, '''' the shop assistant said. The shop''s assistant was almost the same age as J was. And J was always humble and friendly, and she got along well with her. ''Handsome? Is there anyone more handsome than Daniel?'' J doubted it. She put down the tools, removed her disposable gloves and mask, and then went outside to meet the man. "Look, that''s him!" and the shopping assistant pointed towards him. In the corner of the shop, a man dressed in a ck western suit stood with his back towards them. She could tell who he was from the people standing right next to him. "Tell him that his order is refused!" When he saw J, Spark immediately informed Daniel. The shopping assistant was shocked. At that moment, Spark called out her name, "Miss Shao, Boss Si said that if you don''te and talk with him now, tomorrow there will be several dessert shops opening right across the street from yours!" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Daniel had learned this move from his father, which he had used to ckmail L back in the old days. It had never urred to him that he would use it one day just as he had! J gnashed and then sat opposite to him. "Mr. Si, what do you want?" spoke J. He was looking at his iPad, and without looking up to her, he asked, ''''Did you use the ointment I gave you?" "Cut the crap, what do you really want?" J asked. "Did you use the ointment?" he repeated. He was now typing something on the iPad. Daniel had also attracted many young girls to her shop. And there were even more outside. They were excitedly looking at Daniel through the shop''s window. And in only a minute, the shop''s sitting area was full. "Yes, " replied J. She felt suffocated by his presence. ''Daniel is fair on the outside and foul within. Poor girls, you are just as blind as I am, '' J thought. "1000 pieces of Mango Mousse Cake a week, 50% off, " replied Daniel. He was so busy at the moment that he had to do two things at once. "50% off? Do you think I''m stupid?" asked J. She wouldn''t earn a penny if she took 50% off it''s price. "Er, you wouldn''t lose a penny if you take 50% off of it, " Daniel replied. No gains but no losses. J resisted the desire to bang her fist on the table. Why was Daniel so astute! She gnashed her teeth, and said, "Don''t treat me as your businesspetitor." She knew his move, and he was bargaining. Huh... Now, Daniel looked straight at her, "You are not that stupid!" "Piss off, you are such an eyesore!" J stood up and was just about to leave. "No discount, " said Daniel. J turned around immediately and stood next to him. "Deal!" she said. "Take it easy, I still have a condition!" ''I have to have the upper hand!" he thought. J cast a cold nce at him. She knew he wouldn''t make any concessions. "Say it already!" she demanded. "You have to make one more delicious dessert each time... and send it to my office." "That''s it?" she asked. J got closer to Daniel, who was working, ''Is it really that simple?'' she thought. Daniel felt her breath close to him and then suddenly looked up. The distance between them was just a few inches. Chapter 63 My Family Even Has One Hundred Billions Chapter 63 My Family Even Has One Hundred Billions When their eyes met, J blinked in embarrassment and then began to make a couple of paces in retreat, keeping a certain distance between him. "You need to personally bring them to my office!" Daniel suddenly found out that he could actually be nice, especially when he was facing Jane and talked to her. ''Hum...'' But his offer didn''t sound good to J. ''I have to send them to him personally? Doesn''t he know how busy I am every day?'' she thought. "I can pay in advance six months of the total amount that I owe you, " he said, the moment he saw her hesitating. ''Well, er... Six months of the total amount of what he''ll owe me.'' J then muttered and took out her phone to calcte the entire costs. ''One mango mousse cup costs 40 dors, 1000 cups cost 40, 000 dors. So, I can get 40, 000 dors for one week of work, and 160, 000 dors for a month. Finally, I''ll get 960, 000 dors for six months!'' thought J. "You have to pay 960, 000 dors in total and if we round it up, you have to pay one million dors, with the extra 40, 000 dors totaling as oil cost, " spoke J, with a smile on her face. She carefully calcted the costs on her phone. Since she was doing business with Daniel, who was very rich, she, of course, had to manage something to maximize her overall profit. "I can also invest in your business and you can open a branch with the trademark of SL Group. That way can gain more profit together, " said Daniel. He put down the iPad, with a gleam shining in his eyes. Er... This sounded attractive. "How much will you invest in my shop?" she asked. Although her father had given her enough money to open a second shop, she still wanted to open another one all by herself. Working with others was also a way to further develop her business on her own, more or less. "I can invest all the money that you need, and you just have to be responsible for making the desserts, " said Daniel. When she heard this, she was so happy that she suddenly began to smile. J, who didn''t know much about businesses at all, was very pleased. In fact, she also didn''t think too much of it because she knew that Daniel would never go to lengths to deceive her. If he ever dared to deceive her, her mother* won''t let him off so easily! (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) She then asked, "What about the pro-rata share of ie?" "What do you think?" replied Daniel. This time he seemed to be even more generous because he even allowed J to decide the pro-rata on her own terms. J thought about it for a moment, and remembered that Daniel wasn''tcking any money, while she only earned a little money since she had just started her business recently. "Ten-ny split, " said J. After she uttered these words, she instantaneously blushed. She didn''t even know how shameless she was until the very moment her words came out flying out of her mouth! Thinking about this for a while longer, she decided to give him another percentage, and said, "Twenty- eighty split!" While he listened to her, Daniel still silently stared at J, whose face changed for several times in thest couple of minutes. J, who realized that Daniel was looking at her all the time, felt a sudden tender pity for him, and said again, "Don''t look at me like that. Thirty-seventy split." ''Ah? Why is he still silent?'' thought J. She then closed her eyelids tight and then opened them again, and offered, "Forty-sixty split!" She had made the final concession, and thought that it was very wearisome for her to bake cakes and pastries all day long. Daniel then finally spoke, "Ten-ny split." The words sounded very different when they came out from Daniel''s mouth. "What?" suddenly shouted J with confusion in her voice. She almost jumped out of the chair! "Do you know how hard it is for me to make desserts? Now you want to take almost all of it away. I won''t ept this!" Daniel stared at the girl, who was now furious, and uttered the following words, "I take the ten percent and you get ny." "Are you... Are you... serious?" She began to cheer up again and got close to Daniel, carefully looking at his delicate outline. Spark, who was beside Daniel at all times, and had of course heard his words, was so surprised that he almost could not help knocking his fist into the wall. ''Since when did Mr. Si be such silly man with so much money on his hands?'' he thought. He also wanted to discuss with Mr. Si about opening a shop together after they returned to the split, at least! "So, do we have an agreement?" asked Daniel. He still looked cool, but began to speak in a low, soft voice. J nodded, and finally said to him, "Don''t y tricks on me. You''re well aware that mywyer is Samuel!" Daniel looked at her with disdain, and said, "What can I benefit from deceiving you?" ''Her virginity? Or her little body? She can''t move a single brick if I ever ask her to do some hard work!'' thought Daniel. J didn''t agree with him, and spoke with her back straight, "I''m an apple of my father and my brother''s eye, so if I''m kidnapped, they must give the kidnapper enough money no matter how much he needs!" Uttering these words, J, again, felt her family''s love for her, her eyes suddenly turning red. "Are you really so valuable? Please tell me how much money would I need to buy you off?" asked Daniel. He had suddenly changed the topic of their conversation. ''No! What does he mean? To buy me off?'' she pondered. "One billion dors." ''No, that''s not right, that''s too cheap.'' "Ten billion dors!" Shecently looked at Daniel. Spark was very surprised to hear their conversation. ''So, did Mr. Si reallye here this morning just to flirt with this little girl?'' thought Spark. "Well. I''m going to write you a check for ten billion dors and from now on you belong to me then, " spoke Daniel. After he finished talking, he, indeed, took out a check book from his brief case, uncapped his pen, and was about to sign a sheet. Suddenly, J pressed his right hand with her little hand, and said, "Wait a minute! You have one billion dors?" J looked at Daniel in disbelief, who had already written down the number. She had nevercked any money ever since she was a child, but she didn''t have a clear view on the concept of money. She just knew that she had never used up all the money her father had given her over the years. Daniel sneered, and then looked sideways at J, who seemed to regret a bit, saying, "Ten billions? My family even has one hundred billions!" Daniel didn''t exaggerate at all because, if he added all of his family''s properties and assets, including his mother''s and father''s properties and his own personal assets, indeed, he could have amassed as Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. much as he earlier dered. She also began to believe that Daniel didn''t lie to her, because she remembered that she had once seen Daniel''s name on the List of the World''s Most Richest Man. But then she just shook her head, remembering that if her mother knew that she had just sold herself, she would be so furious with her that she would even break one of her legs when she found out about it. And even if her mother didn''t beat her, if she really did belong to Daniel, she then had to work for him every day, since he disliked her so much. "Well, we''d better discuss our cooperation first, and after we can talk about the other things, " spoke J. Daniel then withdrew his hand and took out a piece of tissue to wipe his right hand which was just touched by hers. ... When she saw what he did, J got mad again, because she thought it was insulting. "Daniel Si, you came here just to piss me off again. You should go now!" shouted J. Daniel threw the tissue into the trash can. "J Shao, please don''t forget that you also did this to me before. I''ve just learned it from you!" J tried her best to recollect her thoughts, and remembered that indeed she once sat in his car and... She really did do such a thing to him! But J still didn''t want to say anything pleasant, so she immediately changed the topic, and instead said, "Please, tell me about your investment!" Daniel stoop up from his chair and J suddenly looked small and feeble in front of his tall figure. "No need to talk about it. You can juste to work after I have finished decorating the shop, " said Daniel. Spark put the iPad back into the brief case and followed Daniel behind, who was getting ready to leave. "I can''t make mango mousse cups for you today, since I didn''t prepare any dough yet, " she said. ''Oh, right. Why did Daniel want so many mango mousse cups?'' she pondered. "Um, I will give you three days to prepare them for me. Spark, please remit one million dors to Jane''s bank ount, " spoke Daniel. When he turned around, he was facing all the people that stood behind him. Several of the women who were there just to see him suddenly began to scream. J, who was now more joyful than ever, walked towards the back room. "Jane." Daniel had suddenly called her to stop. She looked over her shoulder, confused. "See me out!" Daniel stared at her, wearing a warning expression that shed bright in his eyes. Daniel, who was used to be surrounded by all sorts of crowds, then felt very ufortable because he had been neglected by J. He was finally showed to the door by Miss Shao, and then loftily got into his Rolls-Royce and drove away. J gave him an angry look, and when she wasn''t able to see the Rolls-Royce anymore, she shouted, "You just want to bully me again!" Chapter 64 Tonight Well be Drunk with No Return Chapter 64 Tonight We''ll be Drunk with No Return J, for the moment, forgot all about her old scars and pains that Daniel had brought her, but still thought how to punish him, somehow, if she ever had the chance. J spent the following two days in her bakery working with her apprentices, preparing all the ingredients needed for the mango mousse cups. And on the third day, J got up at early, 5 o'' clock in the morning, to make the promised mousse cups. She worked without taking any break until the noon. At lunch time, as she put her hands around her aching waist, J scolded Daniel in her mind for countless times. ''He must be ying some sort of tricks'', she thought. What a back-breaking work she did that day! Before the dinner, when she finally finished all of her work, J packaged all the mousse cups and then called a van and delivered them to the SL Group. Downstairs, J called Daniel: "I''m here with the delivery, where should I put the mousse cups?" "Come upstairs. Spark will handle the desserts for you, " answered Daniel. "Alright." J then took the elevator up to the 88th floor, carrying a small case wearily in her hands. J found that although she had left the SL Group for some time, the people there were still talking about her whenever she saw her. Sighing, she went straight, without knocking, into the CEO''s office. When she saw the people in the room, J was dazed for a second''s time. Then she understood why Daniel had asked her to prepare the extra dessert for him. "Kate, this is the dessert I ordered just for you, " spoke Daniel, looking tenderly at the woman sitting opposite to him. Kate, who was disappointed at seeing J, turned pleasantly surprised. Walking on her 8 cm high-heel shoes, she came near J. "Put down the dessert, and then you can leave, " she said. Actually, Kate had known Daniel''s real intentions regarding J, but she pretended that she didn''t. "What is this, Daniel?" asked J while staring at him furiously. "What don''t you understand? I ordered this dessert for my girlfriend only, isn''t it obvious?" replied Daniel indifferently. J then took a deep breath; she initially had thought that Daniel had ordered this dessert just for himself. So when she had almost finished all the mango mousse cups, she had put all her talent into this single mango cake, just for him. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. She now knew that the truth was highly overrated; Daniel just wanted to mess around with her again. So he could show his deep affection to Kate, and embarrass J in the process! J walked around Kate to Daniel''s desk, opened small case she was carrying, took out the knife and cut the cake into smaller pieces. "No, J, I can do it by myself, thanks!" Kate wanted to stop her. J gave her an angry look, forked one piece of the cake and then put it into her own mouth, watching Kate''s hands freeze in the air. After all, the mango cake was made by her, and she didn''t want it thrown away for nothing. "Neither one of you, from now on, can eat the things that I personally make!" As J hadn''t eaten anything all afternoon, she finished all the cake all by herself. Unfortunately, she choked on the dessert because she ate it too fast... J''s face suddenly turned red, but then she just took a piece of tissue, spat the piece of cake in it, wiped her mouth and quickly left the office with her hand covering her mouth. ''I won''t ept anything from Daniel, not even a water droplet!'' J rushed out of the SL Group, and after a long run, when she was almost breathless, she found a convenience store. She went into the store, brought a bottle of water and chugged it even before paying for it. She then took the taxi to her vi instead of her bakery. When she arrived home she called Sally, and asked her to go shopping together. When Sally answered J''s phone call, she was in the SL Group to convey L''s words to Daniel. There was an extra water ss on Daniel''s desk, indicating that someone else had also been here. "OK, sure. Now I''m in my brother''s office; wait for me a bit and then I''ll go shopping with you, " answered Sally. "I have to talk about something with my brother, but other than that, I''ve got nothing else in n. Jane, how about going to my brother''s shopping mall? A brand-new store there already sent me several messages." "You don''t wanna go there? Why? Come on, Jane, we''ll just take a look." Sally was sitting beside Daniel, and he kept staring at his sister''s phone. "OK, OK, I''ll call you soon enough." When Sally hung up the phone, she saw a woman walking out the office rest room. It was Kate, and she was smiling at her, but Sally turned around and gave Daniel a despising look. Daniel frowned as he saw the rage growing inside his sister''s eyes. "Hi, Sally." Kate greeted her, sat down gracefully at the table opposite to them and then picked up a dozen of documentsying on it. Sally nodded to her with a fake smile. Recalling her mother''s words to Daniel, she said, "Brother, mother just told me to tell you that, although she is in Brazil, she is still constantly watching your every move here. And if you ever want to win her forgiveness, you should go and speak with Jane." At these words, Kate''s expression suddenly became rigid and cold. How annoying was Daniel''s younger sister! Daniel casually put his hand on the back of the sofa,cking any expression on his face. "Anything else?" he asked. Sally nodded. "Yes. The thing that happened in Caesar Pce; mum already heard iting from an army officer''s wife. She was quite unhappy about it. Jane''s frightened of the pets just like mum, and especially of dogs and cats. So don''t let her anywhere near these animals anymore!" "Anything else?" Daniel lighted a cigarette, and concealed the emotion in his eyes behind the smoke. "Brother! Well, it seems that you really don''t like Jane. Two days ago, by coincidence, one of my ssmates asked me to set him up with Jane, Now I think I can promise him that I''ll do. He''s a nice guy, a doctor, just as Sven. His medical skill is superb." Sally then stood up from the sofa, and continued, "My ssmate likes cheerful girls like Jane and me. He actually fell in love with Jane at first sight..." "Hum, is that all?" Sally was speechless at Daniel''s replies. ''Now I understand why mum preferred to fly to Brazil with dad rather than taking care of her dummy boy!'' she thought. Sally took out her cell phone, dialed J''s, and said, "Jane, how about going to the bar after shopping? Tonight we''ll be drunk with no return!" "Are you sure? Go to the bar and have a drink? No no no, I''m afraid that I''ll again pass out after I drink and then remember nothing, " answered J. After herst two experiences with alcohol, she decided to drop out on this offer. Sally gnashed her teeth. Why was Jane so disappointing this time! But Sally had to pretend that J had already agreed with her idea, and so she smiled, and said, "Hum... shall we go to the SOHO Bar anyway? We''ll meet two handsome boys there. Do you still remember my college friend that you metst time? He asked about you..." Daniel gave Sally a cold nce. She got the warning, and she went out to talk on the phone. "Sally, who''s the college friend you''re talking about?" asked J, totally confused. ''What'' gotten into Sally today?'' she thought. "Nothing, it was just to deceive my brother, " said Sally while grinding her teeth. "Jane, please don''t ever love Daniel, he''s such a bore and pighead!" It seemed that Daniel had eyes only for Kate, but Sally was getting really tired of this woman and her character. Chapter 65 How is It That I Run Into Your Brother Everywhere I Go Chapter 65 How is It That I Run Into Your Brother Everywhere I Go J was in the cloakroom, choosing what clothes she should wear, and when she heard Sally''s words, she stopped for a moment and thought, ''Don''t ever love Daniel? But I... I''m already heart-broken.'' "We''ll talk about itter when we meet, I''m changing my clothes, " said J. She chose to wear a sky-blue short coat and a pair of casual trousers, with a pair of white sneakers. She then went out. The two girls were really happy to see each other. First they went to have a meal together, then they went shopping for clothes in a store in the shopping mall. "I haven''t bought any new clothes after mying back from America, so I really don''t know what to wear nowadays." J was seriously browsing for clothes in the shop. She wanted to choose that casual type of clothes at first, but after taking into consideration her age, which was nearing 23 years old, she was, after all, a grown-up. So, she changed her options and tried on some other, mature dresses. "Neither have I. I''ve been pestered on and on by your brother thesest couple of days. Though I ran awayst time, your brother still found me and dragged me back into all his screw-ups, "ined Sally. Sally felt really miserable, and she couldn''t understand why the heroines in the novels she read could always run away for some years without being found by the heroes. So had her mother and sworn mother. She had just run away for just a couple of days, but so easily brought back by Jerry. J tittered, "Sally, you mean that you really don''t like my brother?" J could feel that Sally actually loved her brother very much. Sally shook her head, and said, "I don''t know how to exin it. So, what about you? Do you love my brother?" While the two girls were discussing their concerns, a woman, holding on to a man''s arm, then entered the shop. J was facing the opposite side of the door when the salesman greeted the two new customers, so J didn''t notice them, and continued answering Sally, "No! I''m not capable enough of loving Daniel." "What do you mean that you''re not capable enough?" asked Sally. Sally curiously looked at J, who seemed to be more and more disheartened. "How should I say it... anyway, I won''t meet with him anymore. And he also doesn''t love me, and it would be also to his linking not to meet me either. And you can tell your father and mother to stop trying to hook us up. Sally, I''ve really given up." Though J had little or no experience with rtionships, she still understood that it was not good for either of them if they met and got together. And she definitely didn''t want to lower her self-esteem to love Daniel. Kate was staring at Daniel, who had no obvious facial expressions, and now seemed to be understanding why he suddenly wanted to buy her clothes all of a sudden. He pushed her away and instructed her to choose any clothes she wanted. He then went on carefully listening to two girls'' conversation with his hands tucked deep inside his pockets. Hearing that J was about to give up on Daniel, Sally hastily came nearer. She was so anxious that she even didn''t notice her brother standing not that far away from them. "Jane, my mother has explicitly told me that you are the only daughter-inw for her in the world. You can''t give up so easily!" Sally persuaded her. J took a look at the clothes she choose, and then felt something like a cold aura emanating from somewhere or someone near them. But she didn''t think too much about it, and said, "Sally, you know, it''s not good for us to have an averse rtionship. There are so many men in the world treating me so well; why do I have to go around for a man who doesn''t even love me not even a bit?" ''Indeed! Quite a few men are fond of me, so why I must cling to Daniel? Since he doesn''t like me after all, I have no need to make myself unhappy, '' thought J. "Who told you that my brother doesn''t love you? I think that my brother actually..." "Sally!" An ice-cold sounding voice came from behind, which sent shivers down the two girls'' spines. ''Oh, shit! How long had Daniel been standing there?'' wondered J. ''How much of their conversations had he actually heard?'' J immediately tried to remember what she absentmindedly had been talking about a few moments ago. But she couldn''t think of anything else except her talk about the ''averse rtionship''... As she turned around, she saw that Daniel was standing not that far behind them. And also, close behind him, Kate was browsing for clothes. Sally greeted Daniel with a smile on her face, "Brother, you''re here, too." Then, before Daniel could utter anything in reply, she quickly dragged J into one of the changing rooms. In there, the two girls whispered to each other while they were trying on their clothes, "Why is your brother here too?" ''What are the odds of me meeting with Daniel in ady''s clothes store? Such bad luck!'' thought J. "I have no idea about it! This must be the reason why Kate kept badgering my brother toe here!" said Sally. Sally had forgotten all about her conversation with J over the phone in the SL group earlier today, in which she had mentioned about what they were going to do in the evening. J sighed, changed into a new dress, and said, "How is it that I can meet with your brother all the time? I swear, where I am, Daniel is." It really made J feel odd that she could stumble into Daniel a couple of times in just only one day! "All the time? Are you sure? Besides meeting him in the SL group, I haven''t stumbled into him once; until now." They walked out of the changing room together and then stood in front of the mirror, still whispering to one another. "If you''lle back to the mansion, you''ll see him everyday!" J said. Because Jerry''s apartment was so close to hispany, the couple lived there and seldom came back to the mansion. Sally thought for a moment and then remembered that her brother''s mansion was No. 9, and that this was maybe the reason that always met with one another. Then she looked at J in the mirror, and excitedly said, "J, I really love shopping for clothes with you! Look, you look so pretty in any of these clothes; I, can only serve as your contrast!" J was dressed in an orange dress with a falb, and Sally was wearing a pair of grey trousers. They obviously differed from each other in style. "How many times have you ever seen me dressed like this?" asked J. She thought that she should change her clothing''s style. "Right, maybe I should have a try and change my style, too." "Yeah." Then the two girls returned to the same changing room again. On the sofa, Kate was holding on to Daniel''s arm, and said, "Daniel, I don''t like the clothes in this store, let''s go and check another one." The clothes in the shop seemed to be childish to Kate, and indeed they really weren''t suited to her overall style. "OK, just wait for Sally." said Daniel, as he was reading some of the magazines on the table. Five minutester, he spoke to the sales clerk, "Pack this one, this one, and that one... M size, and N?velDrama.Org owns this text. send them to this address." Daniel took out a name card and handed it to the clerk. "I see, sir, please wait a moment." Kate looked at the clothes Daniel had chosen, she saw that they weren''t for her, and then asked, "Daniel, these clothes are..." "Sally''s." Daniel finished her sentence with a name. However, she wouldter see all of these clothes dressed on J... These were the clothes which J had tried on in that store, on that day, and which were all sent to J''s mansionter that evening. Sally and J held each other''s arms and then walked out of the store. And Kate was furiously holding Daniel''s arm, whose hands were carrying some packages, while they were walking behind Sally and J. In J''s mind, what Daniel was doing now was just trying to show off their love everywhere he had the chance to. Outside the shopping mall, Daniel stopped Sally, and said, "I''ll call Jerry and ask him to drive you back." "No, brother, I''m going with Jane!" Sally held tightly on to Jane''s arm. Daniel threw her a brief cold nce and then took out his phone, and said, "I''m very busy. I don''t want to waste any more time talking with you here." Chapter 66 She Really Hated Daniel Chapter 66 She Really Hated Daniel Then, Daniel asked Spark to drive Kate back home. "If Jerry ising to pick me up, then what about my car?" Sally still tried to reason with her brother. But then, suddenly, Daniel waved to a bodyguard who was dressed in in civilian clothing, and ordered him to drive Sally''s car back home. Sally then took out of her bag the car keys and passed them to the bodyguard who seemingly had appeared out of nowhere. Looking at Sally''s car, which was now driven away by the bodyguard, J fell into deep thought. ''Does this mean that Daniel doesn''t want Sally to keep in touch with me anymore?'' she pondered. ''Why he is forbidding her from hanging out with me?'' "Sally, I should go first. Let''s meet again another time." J didn''t want to be the odd, unwanted person here, and she made clear notice of it to Sally, as she put all her packages into the trunk of her car. "Wait for Jerry here, he''sing right now." Throwing these words out to Sally, Daniel then slipped inside the backseat of J''s Benz. Sally was surprised to see her brother entering Jane''s car. ''What''s happening?'' she thought. J was too busy cing her packages in order inside the car''s trunk to be aware of Daniel getting inside the car and onto its backseat. When J had raised her head to close the trunk''s lid, Daniel had already closed the back seat door. J actually didn''t notice that there was someone else in her car. She turned around to say her goodbyes to Sally, who was now left hanging with her mouth open in astonishment, "Goodbye, Sally!" ''Hey, wait, '' she thought, ''Where''s that annoying man? Why did he disappear all of a sudden? Nevermind about it! It''s none of my business anyway!'' Without receiving a reply from Sally, J just shook her head speechlessly and then drove her car away home. When J arrived in the Royal Mansion Neighborhood, and was parking her car in her own garage, she heard a voiceing from the back seat which frightened her to death! "Have we arrived?" the voice said. There a man sitting on the back seat who looked just as the one that had disappeared earlier. J patted her chest because her heart was beating too quickly now, and then she slowly calmed herself down, "J, calm down, it''s just another human being!" "I almost had a heart attack!" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. J got out of the car and then opened the back seat door, shouting to the man inside who was keeping his calm. As he was used for someone to open the door for him, the man just got out of the car and then stood in front of her, "It''s not my fault that you''re a coward, " he said. ... ''Leave him alone, just leave him alone!'' tried J persuading herself. She took out the packages out of the trunk and then strode towards the mansion''s door. Daniel followed her from behind, and said, "Let''s talk a bit." "I have nothing to talk with you, " replied J. J shook off his hand and then started running towards the mansion. "J!" shouted Daniel. The man held her in his arms, and after he managed to stop her, he looked her in the eyes, and asked, "Tell me, do you love me?" J, being careless of the moment, didn''t notice the expectation that rose in the man''s eyes, and she obstinately pushed him away, "I..." But the words seemed to be unutterable. "What?" The look in his eyes was so deep that she seemed to be almost falling into them. Without hearing her utter the answer he wanted to hear, Daniel just held her in his arms. And ignoring her refusals, he then carried her back to his own mansion. He had to have a talk with her and make everything between them clear tonight. Kicking the mansion''s door open, Daniel held tight on to her head, and with his fingers inside her hair, he lowered himself down to kiss her plump red lips. "No..." She had really been hurt by him. "Jane, I want you in this moment and can''t wait a second more!" The lights were off in the mansion, and the man''s eyes seemed to shine like sparkles in the darkness surrounding them. And although she wanted to refuse him, her heart was actually beating faster and faster, "No, I won''t..." "You haven''t got a choice!" Daniel threw away the bags she was carrying in her hands away, and then carried her in his arms up to the second floor. J was soon pressed under him on his wide bed and didn''t have the slightest chance to escape him this time. "Daniel Si... Didn''t you say... that we need to talk?" She wheezed slightly and pushed away the head resting on her body, "Yeah, we''ll talk in bed." answered Daniel, as his hands kept moving on J. But, she felt that she was not quite ready yet, and was scared by the now-passionate Daniel, "No!" "Break up with Brian!" he demanded. He was willing to break up with Kate too! But actually nothing had happened between her and Brian. J was now panicked and shook her head, "No, Daniel!" But Daniel misunderstood her refusal as not agreeing to break up with Brian. The man then lost his calm because all of the overwhelming emotions, ''How much does she really love him?'' he wondered. "No? J, I''ll have to force you today then!" ''If I have her body, then her heart will also belong to me, '' Daniel thought. "Wait, Daniel! Wait..." She needed to calm down... But Daniel didn''t give her any time and quickly ripped her clothes off her. "Daniel, No!" she protested. J was really frightened by the look in Daniel''s eyes, which was much scarier than it usually was when he got angry. She pushed him away with force, but Daniel held her hands and continued his actions. Fine minutes had passed, and then J closed her eyes. Her nails were pinching his shoulder, and tears were shedding down her cheeks. "It hurts..." ... Daniel face looked beyond bewildered when he saw the woman''s reaction under him, ''J, she... Hasn''t slept with Brian?'' He didn''t dare to push forward any longer, and kept kissing her flowing tears. From this moment on, she really hated Daniel. "Jane, I''m sorry..." The man gently caressed her and wiped her tears off her cheeks. J pushed his hand away, and spoke in a sobbing voice, "Daniel Si, I hate you! I hate with all my heart!" "I''m really sorry, Jane, please, please don''t cry!" J then took a deep breath, and said, "Daniel, was this the goal you were chasing all along?" The man bewilderingly shook his head; no, if he had known that this was her first time, he absolutely wouldn''t have been so rough with her. The woman then shared a cold smile, and with her milky-white arms gripped around his neck, she said, "Daniel, you asked me whether I love you or not? No, I don''t love you, I love... Brian!" What she said made Daniel''s guilty eyes be red. "No, I don''t believe that! J!" "You don''t believe it? I''ll make you believe it!" J then closed her eyes and kissed his lips tenderly. They embraced each other in silence, and Daniel totally lost himself in J''s sweet scent and seductiveness. But, near the peak of the experience, she again spoke out his name, "Brian." ... In an instant, Daniel felt like being dropped in a pool of ice-cold water. He stopped for a while, but then again pressed the woman under him. This time he moved his body with anger, without thinking anymore about J''s feeling. Both of them then kept silent the whole evening. At daybreak, when Daniel was about to enter the bathroom, J suddenly ran out of it, bearing the pain her body had taken the night before. Down the stairs, she randomly dressed in the clothes that she bought the day before and, gritting her teeth, she left his mansion and went back home. She filled her bathtub with hot water and foam and then soaked in it. Closing her eyes, she felt really sleepy. At mansion No. 9 Wrapped in his bathrobe, Daniel then walked out of the bathroom, but the woman had already gone, leaving only the empty, but messy, bed. When he made the bed he saw a red stain on the creamy-white bed sheet, which made him feel even more guilty and anguished by what he had just done. Chapter 67 Cant Get in Touch with Daniel Chapter 67 Can''t Get in Touch with Daniel Daniel vividly remembered J''s beauty and the memorable moments of their previous night. He had witnessed her wonderful metamorphosis, changing from a little girl into a beautiful woman. Daniel lifted his beige bed sheet from his bed, folded it up and ced it into a drawer. Except for the time he had spent in the military camp, this was the first time that Daniel changed his bed sheet all by his own. After he finished, he sat in his study and began to smoke cigarettes, one after the other. He had never been lost in thought like this before, not even when his ex-girlfriend Sabina Fan had betrayed him. Kate looked like Sabina. He believed that he would fall in love with Kate, but, in fact, it seemed that he didn''t have any feelings for her at all. It wasn''t until he met J again that Daniel''s whole heart was thrown in a total mess because of her. Daniel took the quarrels and fights he had with J over the years as only puerile and childish, never thinking much about them while growing up. However, when he met her at the airport again for the first time in a long time, he was deeply attracted by her every single gracious movement. Even when he had kissed her in the car, he had never regretted any of it. She was a spoiled princess, but he didn''t think that Jane was beyond reasoning. She was naughty, arrogant, wayward andwless. But she never deliberately hurt others or looked down upon anyone. Even when Kelsen had jumped her twice, she had just asked for the dog to be sent away. Many times he thought, ''Even if she''s so stubborn, I just want to take good care of her.'' When he faced the cameras and the ruthless media, he dered that Kate was his girlfriend. He had done this just to protect J, who looked weak and helpless in front of the merciless reporters and their video equipment. He insisted on showing his affection for Kate in front of her whenever he had the chance, just to stimte her and to see if she would be jealous on Kate. But the woman seemed to be a strange creature indeed, or maybe it was because J couldn''t express anything else other than anger. And he couldn''t figure out whether she was angry just because he was being indifferent to her or because she was actually jealous. ... Steadily, the sky grew lighter, and this was the first time that Daniel hadn''t gone to hispany for a whole day. Spark tried to call him, but his phone was off; he also tried knocking at his vi''s door but to no avail. Spark couldn''t find him. ''This is too odd. He usually leaves thepanyte at night, but where could have he gone today?'' Spark pondered. But something wasn''t correct in his thought. Daniel had seldom worked overtime since the day J had appeared. ''If he doesn''t have any social engagements, he''ll eventually return to his vi, '' concluded Spark. Spark then tried to call J, but her phone was also off. He went to her shop, and learned from one of the clerks that J also didn''t arrive today for work! There were a lot of documents that needed to be signed by Daniel that day, and when he thought of them, Spark felt very uptight and finally decided to call Harry. "You can''t get in touch with Daniel?" asked Harry. He was confused, and couldn''t believe what he had just asked. He also couldn''t believe what Spark told him, because he knew that his son had inherited his hard- working spirit and, even more than that, had worked harder than him every single day. Since he had be the new CEO, Daniel had devoted himself to hispany''s work. He had never even taken a day off work the whole year, except if it was highly demanded of him to do so. "Well, yes, Mr. Si. I know this is odd, it''s already afternoon now, and I still can''t get in touch with him, " replied Spark. He wiped the cold beads of sweat off his forehead, thinking: ''Like father, like son! His father also makes me nervous and afraid when he goes silent.'' "What about Jane?" asked Harry. He began to boldly specte what might have happened. Spark said, "I''ve already tried to contact J, but her phone is also powered off and she also didn''t arrive at her shop today. Both of them seem to be..." When he heard this, Harry began to slowly understand. He thought that there certainly must be something happening between Daniel and Jane, but had no idea whether they were together or not. "OK, I see. I''ll contact youter if I get any news on him, " said Harry. After he hung up the phone, he called Jerry straightaway. Both Samuel and E were abroad now, and only Jerry remained to help him find Daniel and J. When Jerry answered the phone, he had just finished awsuit and was on his way back to the around and drove back to the vi. He also called Sally and asked her to go to Daniel''s vi and to check if he was inside. In Vi No. 8 Jerry knocked heavy on J''s bedroom door, but no reply came from it. Jerry finally resorted to apply force and kicked open the door. When he J lying on the bed, he felt relieved. "Jane, didn''t you hear me call you?" asked Jerry. He then sat on the other side of the bed. J, who was sound asleep on the bed, didn''t make the slightest move. When he got close to her, he found some ck-and-blue bruises on her neck, and when he saw them, Jerry''s breath suddenly grew more rapid and a fear started instantly growing inside him, changing the expression on his face. But what attracted his attention the most was the odd flush on her face. He put his hand on J''s forehead and was shocked. ''So hot!'' Jerry didn''t dare pull of the quilt off her, so he held J wrapped in it in his arms and then left the vi. After he put J on the backseat of his car, Jerry then called Sally. Inside Vi No. 9 Only Daniel''s family members could open the vi''s door, and Sally sessfully unlocked the fingerprint lock with her little finger and then climbed straight to the second floor. When she opened Daniel''s bedroom door she found a mess, but no sign of him. She then opened his study''s door and immediately felt the thick cigarette smoke and alcohol vapors. She choked because of the smoke and violently coughed for a moment. When she pushed open the door and walked into his study, she saw the man bending in his seat against his office desk. She had no idea whether he was asleep or was just resting his eyes. There were several white spirit bottles tossed aside on the desk and an ashtray fully packed with cigarette butts. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Daniel, " cried Sally. She covered her mouth and nose with one hand and pushed Daniel with the other. But Daniel didn''t seem to be responding. Sally then asked, "Daniel, What''s the matter with you?" This time, when Sally shook him with both hands, Daniel finally opened his eyes. When she saw Daniel''s eyes turning red and filling with tears, Sally was startled. ''What''s wrong with him?'' she wondered. "Daniel, you scared me! What happened?" asked Sally. ''He was looking just fine the other evening, but now...'' Daniel shook his head, then stood up from his chair and staggered towards his bedroom. Sally, who was more than confused by what was happening with her brother, followed him, held him by the hand, and put him in the bedroom. When she was just about to leave, her phone rang. She answered it, "Hello, Jerry." "Jane is burning with fever. Have you found Daniel yet?" said Jerry. Sally turned around and, while she briefly nced at Daniel, said, "Well, he got drunk and now he''s asleep. How did Jane get the fever?" "I don''t know. It might be hard to take care of her all by myself, so pleasee and help me take her to the hospital first. We''ll ask Sven for help, " said Jerry. "OK. I''ming now, " replied Sally. When the bedroom''s door was closed, Daniel, who seemed to be asleep earlier, opened his eyes. Jane was burning with the fever! In the hospital After Sven took J''s temperature and gave her some IV fluids, he said, "She had high fever, 40¡æ, but luckily you came with her here in time. Otherwise, her life could have been in danger." Sally covered J with the quilt, but Sven reminded her, "Sally, don''t put the quilt over Jane any more. There''s no need to cover her up, you don''t have to soak her in sweat." Jerry and Sally looked at each other for a little while, and then he walked out of the ward along with Sven. Sally pulled down the quilt from her neck. And J just wore a thin cotton cartoon-themed pajama, which left her neck bare. Chapter 68 Take Your Ring Back and Get Out of My House Chapter 68 Take Your Ring Back and Get Out of My House Sally sat at her bed side, with her chin resting in her hands, and was looking at J, who was still unconscious on the bed. Then, thinking of her brother''s unusual look, she guessed that Daniel must be the one to me for J''s present condition. Sally felt that now it was even more necessary to call her mother. When she had just taken out her phone and was just about to call her mother, Jerry came back in and handed her a box of medicine, and said, "Rub it on J''s neck." "OK." Sally put down her phone for the moment and then opened the box. Jerry then stood in front of the window, and, looking outside, asked, "Do you think that this has probably something to do with Daniel?" Sally nodded, "My brother was stone-cold drunk and was chain-smoking. And Jane is in such a rough condition that something must have happened between the two of them!" ''Oh, that''s right!'' suddenly realized Sally. ''My brother sneaked into Jane''s carst night!'' Jerry then turned around and walked towards the door, "Where are you going?" asked Sally. He threw a nce at her, and said, "Get even with your brother!" ''He should have thought better than to hurt my younger sister! Even he''s Daniel Si, I still won''t let him off so easily!'' Jerry thought. Sally immediately put down the box and stopped Jerry, "Why do we have to intervene in their own affairs? We may just make things moreplicated and troublesome than they already are. And, we even haven''t got our own problem sorted out clearly. Just let them be, they''ll sort it out eventually." It was difficult for an outsider to judge things when it came to love. "What problem don''t we have sorted out yet? We''re doing just fine." Jerry provoked her intentionally. Last time they argued, Sally had actively demanded for a wedding ceremony because she felt that it was shameful not to hold one after their marriage certificate was released. And Jerry had prepared a wedding ceremony for her, but it couldn''t be held because she had ran away. Sally pinched his arm, and while she resentfully closed her eyelids, she said, "OK, it''s up to you now! Never mention it again!" She had already given herself up to him, but Jerry still couldn''t coax her; she now thought of him as being a bad man. But then Jerry dragged Sally into his arms, and while he was kissing her long hair, he said, "December 6th, of the lunar calendar - that''ll be the date of our wedding ceremony." Sally was dazed, and she looked up from his arms, she saw that he was wearing a big smile on his face. "Really?" she asked in bewilderment. Jerry nodded. Sally then pinched his arm again and pouted her lips, "You sneaky man!" After she hugged Jerry again, Sally went back to help J with the medicine. Jerry was wondering if he should tell what happened to J to his father and mother. But he then decided that it was best to wait until J wakes up and talk with her about it. At about midnight Jerry was reading one of his work files and was rubbing his aching forehead when he heard some heavy footstepsing from outside the room. The room''s door was then opened, and a man dressed in a white sweater and a ck wind-coat entered it. It was Daniel. In an instant, Jerry stood up from the sofa and strode over the room to beat him. But, remembering Sally''s words, he stopped, and tightly gripped his fists in fury. Daniel nodded to him, and then walked to the bed side. The girl''s fever had already passed, and now she was sound asleep. The wounds on her neck saddened Daniel and filled him with anguish. ''I... may have treated her too rough, '' thought Daniel. "It''s you!" Jerry tried questioning him but, in reality, he was more affirming, instead of questioning. Daniel nodded with honesty. "I''ll make the engagement with her and then marry her, if she is willing, " he said. ''But I''m afraid she... may not want to anymore, '' Daniel thought. Jerry felt a little more relieved of his anger when he heard Daniel''s words. "We''ll talk about itter when Jane wakes up!" Jerry stood at the other side of the bed and looked at his younger sister, whose face seemed to be healthier by the moment now. But, he was still worried for her. Daniel kept staring at the girl, "Jerry, don''t worry. I''ll do everything I need to do." Jerry sighed, "Jane... She''s too innocent. Daniel, please don''t let me down, and please don''t do anything wrong to my sister." Daniel nodded, left the room, and then left the hospital. After a long and good rest, J''s hunger finally woke her up on the next morning. She opened her eyes, and looking at the ceiling above her, she kept lying on the bed with her mind nk for almost half an hour. Then she got up and sat on the bed. Jerry was then having a video call, but he immediately ended it when he saw that his sister had woken up from her long sleep. "Jane, how are you feeling?" he asked. J grinned a smile, "I''m alright, nothing serious. Brother, I''m very hungry." J''s reaction puzzled Jerry, ''Why is she acting as nothing even happened?'' But Jerry didn''t ask anything more, and said, "Well, then stay and wait here, I''ll ask the nurse to send you some breakfast." After she had breakfast, and J was just about to leave the hospital, Sally arrived. The two girls whispered to each other, "Jane, please, tell me what happened to youst night. Tell me, now!" "No, don''t worry about it, it was nothing serious. I may have been soaking for too long in the bathtub, " said J. Last evening in the bathtub she had awaken in cold water. After that, she had her nightgown put on and in a daze had fallen instantly asleep. J acted as usual, just like nothing ever happened. Sally looked at her and couldn''t ask any more questions. "Well, are you still feeling dizzy now?" "No, actually I''m feeling quite good!" J smiled to her and then held her hand to walk out of the room together. Jerry then drove her back to the mansion. When they arrived, they saw a man dressed in a western suit, standing outside mansion''s door, and smoking. J''s face turned pale, and suddenly it felt harder for her to breathe. Jerry took a nce at his sister, who was lowering her head and turning pale, and then, as he opened the door, said, "Come in and let''s have a talk." Daniel snuffed out the cigarette and followed them inside the house. In the living room Daniel stopped J, who wanted to go upstairs, "Wait a moment!" She shook off his hand and then turned around and stared at him with a cold face. The look in her eyes seemed to be saying that she was looking at aplete stranger. Daniel took something out of his pocket and then, in front of the others, he knelt and offered the brocade box to J, "J, please marry me!" he said. Inside the box was a pink huge diamond ring, and Sally realized that it was thetest GL style. J gripped her fists furiously, and she would have been really happy to ept his proposal, if nothing had happenedst night. But, now... J took the box, closed it hard, and threw it towards the door, "Daniel Si, take your ring back and get out of my house!" Then she ran up the stairs without turning her head around. ... Jerry and Sally were really confused by what was happening. Daniel''s proposal was refused and, even worse, she didn''t want to see him ever again. When Sally returned her sense, she hastily followed J up to her bedroom. And, as Daniel was leaving the mansion with a dark look painted all over his face, he heard a shout, "Daniel!" Jerry picked up the box. And stopped Daniel. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. " I think that maybe Jane really does love you after all. I have no idea of what is going on between you two, but I have the feeling that the girl will be OK with you after a few good talks." ''Could she?'' Daniel smiled, now with bitterness and sarcasm. ''If she really loved me, why did she call out another man''s name under me?'' pondered Daniel. Then, keeping his silence, he took back the box and then left the Shao''s mansion. On the second floor Sally was now staring at J, whose eyes had be red and filled with tears. She hugged her, and said, "Jane, please don''t torture yourself for nothing. If you have a problem, tell me about it, so we can solve it together." J shook her head and a teardrop fell from her eye and broke on the floor. Chapter 69 First One to be Cracked in an Anti-pornography Campaign Chapter 69 First One to be Cracked in an Anti-pornography Campaign "Sally..." said J sobbing, "I hate him." He was overbearing! He was vicious! He possessed and now fueled everything in her! "Jane, please don''t cry anymore. I''ll call my mom right away. Let my parents deal with Daniel!" She had nned to tell her parentsst evening but had forgotten all about it! J prevented Sally by snatching her cellphone, and said, "Sally, let it be bygones. Don''t involve us anymore." She had decided to go easy on the whole thing in the morning, that she wouldn''t care about it. ''Let Daniel have his prize; I''ve liked him before. It''s OK, it doesn''t really matter! I was born an optimistic girl! But, why, do I still want to cry? Oh...'' J thought. "Sally, it''s OK. Don''t try tofort me, really I''m fine. And don''t let them know. I... I really feel ashamed!" J tried to mask her shyness. But in reality she wouldn''t dare let her parents know about what happened. J was really an optimistic girl, and a little whileter, she began talking more with Sally. Looking at her shy reactions, Sally carefully asked her, "My brother... Did he do... that to you?" Although she knew almost everything about it, she still wanted it confirmed by Jane herself. J was dumbstruck and then, smiling, said, "Yes, but it''s OK. To best put it into words, just imagine that an animal rode me the other night." ... Sally was an eloquent girl, but when she heard Jane''s response, she even couldn''t even utter another single word. After she left Jane that night, Sally went back home, reviled Daniel and gave him an ount of J''s own words. Daniel, who was really sorry and heartbroken for what he had done, then felt really thoughtful. J went to work three dayster after resting at home. Once she got back in her shop, she immediately began to start work again on the SL Group''s mango mousse cups. But, however, when she looked at the baskets filled with mango in front of her, she said, "I''ll rather do something else. You guys do the mango mousse cups." J had received a dessert order for a banquet, and so she put on her mask and gloves and began to work on it. When the clock was 11 p.m., J finished her work and then decided to go back home. She found Spark waiting for her in front of the door. "Miss Shao!" Seeing Je out of the shop, Spark went towards her. Seeing Spark was like seeing Daniel. J squinted his eyes at him indifferently, and said, "Hello, Mr. Shi." Spark also noted her indifference towards him. He felt a little curious; what had happened to J? She didn''t treat him so indifferently before, in the He took dozens of handbags from the Rolls Royce trunk and then put them into J''s Benz. "What''s with all that?" J, who was just about to get in the car, stopped for a moment. She curiously looked at the handbags. "All of the clothes are in your size. If you have any questions, please contact Boss Si!" After he said this, he drove the car away and disappeared out of her sight almost in an instant, leaving no chances for J to say no as an answer. J opened one of the pink handbags and had a look at the clothes inside it. She remembered that these were the clothes she had tried on when she was shopping with Sally. She saw in the bag thest dress she tried on before leaving. But at that time she had ned to change her clothing style and had given up on the pink one. ''But why did he buy them? To cater for me, or what?'' No, that wasn''t it, and she thought she was overthinking things. ''Is Daniel that kind of man?'' J closed the trunk of her Benz and then drove to vi No. 9. At the vi''s gates, Daniel heard the screeching sound of brakesing from behind him when he had just stepped out of his car. He turned around. J gout out of the car and took all the clothes out of the car''s trunk. He then started throwing them in front of Daniel. "Do you n to cater for me with these clothes?" she asked. "I don''t need any of them! I hate you even more now!" After that, she returned to her Benz and then drove straight home, leaving the man speechless. When she was about to enter her house, she was texted on Wechat. She read the message in the N?velDrama.Org owns this text. phone, "ept the clothes or else I''ll tell my sworn parents all about what happened that night, and then you''ll have no other choice left other than to marry me." J gnashed her teeth; she had never known that Daniel could be so mean! She wanted to reply to him with ''I don''t care''. But Daniel was a man of his word, and she couldn''t take the chance. ''But what if my parents find out that we have already... They''ll eventually force me to marry him.'' Not long ago, she did wanted to marry him, but now she had changed her mind! Therefore, to regain her freedom, J furiously returned to vi No. 9. While he was sitting in the mansion''s door, the man seemed to know that she would be sooning back. He leaned on it and calmly smoked his cigarettes. He put all of the clothes which were lying on the ground back into their handbags. When she arrived, J had nned to take back the bags and leave without uttering a single word. "J!" He called out to her in a low voice. But J went on her way. Daniel, carrying his cigarette with him, tried to stop her from leaving. But J paid little attention to him and still went on her way. "J, you smell good today!" The man''s absurd words made her feel even more restless. She then suddenly threw the bags on the ground, ran towards him, and nned to hit him hard with her right fist. She hit Daniel for two times in a row, but now Daniel would look like a fool if she seed a third. He held her by her right arm and then dragged her near his chest. J tried to escape from his grasp, "Damn you, Daniel, let me go!" she pleaded. "J, I''m sorry!" He threw away the cigarette he was holding in his left hand and carefully apologized to her. His apology moved J. "If apologies actually work, why are there still policemen in the world?" she asked. "They need to crack down on the pornography." What he said was off-topic in its entirety. J then almost went crazy, and said, "You''ll be the first one to be cracked in an anti-pornography campaign." "Jane..." His left hand touched and caressed her smooth face and then he held her tightly in his arms. The cigarette smoke reeked on his body. "That''s enough, Daniel! Let me go! From now on we''ll be strangers to one another. You take care of your own concerns, and I''ll handle my own" "J, it was also my first time. You''re responsible for me!" ''Is he kidding? Does he want to own me now? Does he even mind being so wicked?'' ... J didn''t know how to reply to him, and said, "Daniel, no matter how manydies have slept with you or not, I still don''t care." But it was her first time, and she did care about that... "I don''t want those girls, I just want you, only you!" He flicked off the cigarette butt, lowered his head, and looked at her emotionally with sparks shining in his eyes. Chapter 70 Come Back to Me Chapter 70 Come Back to Me But it was toote now. "Daniel Si, if you don''t let me go right now, I''ll use you of raping me!" shouted J. Uttering these words, J then saw Danielughing, and soon began to regret them. "J, I''ve told already that you can sue me anytime you want!" replied Daniel. "Don''t be so arrogant! Do you think you can act like this just because you''re rich?!" retorted J. It waste autumn outside, and J, who was still in his arms, started feeling very warm and cozy, and almost nearly fell in a trance. Daniel lowered his head, letting it lean close to hers, and said, "No. Jane, I''ll give you some time to try and eventually ept me, " he said. His voice was deep and sexy, which just made J feel a little anguished. What had happened that night kepting into her mind again and again. She then pushed him away, and said, "Daniel Si, I already have a boyfriend and you also have a girlfriend, so we shouldn''t bother each other any longer." ''Did Daniel forget that he had a girlfriend? How could he cheat on her and make me his mistress!'' she thought. "J, if you are still willing to be with me, I''ll break up with her right now, " said Daniel. He had actually pretended to be in a rtionship with Kate to protect Jane. J, when she heard these words, wasn''t pleased at all. Instead, she gripped his wrist and bit it. "Bastard!" she cried out. After this, she hastily turned around and ran away. After she took a few steps forward, J suddenly remembered of his first threat, so she turned a few back. She then picked up a dozen or so shopping bags and swiftly left. While he was watching her fade in the distance, Daniel touched the warm teeth imprints on his hand and smiled. ''Jane, I just hope you''ll listen ande back to me...'' he thought. After Hebe (J''s salesclerk) had just sent the ready-made dessert to Daniel''s 88th floor office, J got a call from Spark, "Miss Shao, Mr. Si was very unsatisfied with the dessert on this asion and wants you to go to his office and have a talk with him in person." "If he''s unsatisfied with it he can throw it away. I''m really busy at the moment and have no time for his services!" said J. After she finished saying this, she hung up the phone. Spark, while looking at his phone, felt very confused. ''What has happened to them recently? This time Mr. Si, who was usually the one with the strong desire for control, seemed to be... passive!'' thought Spark. Later in the afternoon, Hebe suddenly ran into the desert room, and said, "J, J, quick, there are some express packages waiting for you outside!" J gave Hebe a brief nce, and asked, "Whose express packages did you say it were?" "Yours, yours, " replied Hebe. She then looked at J with admiration sparkling in her eyes. ''J is so happy, and it must be her boyfriend who bought and sent her all those gifts.'' she thought. "Help me out and sign for them in my name. I''m busy right now!" said J. She then kept on working diligently, ignoring her. Hebe shook her head, and said, "J, I''m telling you, you''d better go out and have a look; those packages seem very expensive. At least that''s why I heard from a customer near the counter. He said that just one of them seemed to be worth at least ten thousand dors." J, now curiously aroused and impatient, put aside her work for the moment and followed Hebe outside of the shop. Outside the shop there were many people taking pictures of some of the boxes around them. When they saw Je out of her store, they immediately looked at her with admiration in their eyes. She was also a little surprised when she saw all of the boxes ced in front of her shop. Nine giant boxes ced next to each other were waiting for her, each filled with different plush dolls. Judging by her experience of purchasing plush dolls over the years, J concluded that these dolls were all masterworks made by Master James, who worked only in Australia. Each doll was worth nearly one hundred thousand dors, and that''s why the nine dolls (big bear, dolphin, doll, and so on) caused such a massive uproar on the street in front of the shop. They attracted so many people not just only because they were very expensive, but also because they were incredibly rare. "Excuse me, are you J Shao?" asked the courier. Three couriers walked up to her and looked at her bewildered. J nodded and already took a guess at who had sent her all these dolls. Bill was in the military camp and Jerry and Sven wouldn''t ever act like that, so only he remained, and who also being so rich could... "Please sign here for the packages." "Where is the sender''s information?" she asked. She also didn''t receive the express waybill receipt. The courier then looked at it, but found that there wasn''t any information regarding the sender. "There''s All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. no name on it, but it doesn''t matter. Please ept the packages and sign your name on the waybill sheet down here. It''s alright as long as you sign for the packages, " he said. "I refuse them!" said J. She fluttered her hand in the air and walked back towards her shop amidst the gazes of all of the admiring onlookers nearby. The courier then called out to her to stop, "Miss Shao", he said, "the sender said that if you refuse to ept the packages, he would personallye to deliver them." It was, indeed, Daniel''s usual style of handling things, with threats and ckmails. ''He''ll personallye to deliver them? If that happens, then everyone will know about what happened, and because he has a girlfriend they''ll also gossip about our rtionship and friendship status, '' thought J. Being fidgety, she eventually took the waybill, and while signing, she murmured, "Even if I receive them, can I send them to my house?" Didn''t Daniel put himself in her shoes now? "The sender said that you need not worry a thing about it. Look..." said the courier. He pointed at a row of Bentley''s parked just outside at the roadside and then made a sign. To everyone''s amazement, all of those Bentley''s drove forward a bit and then stopped right in front of J''s bakery shop. Then, several bodyguards dressed all in ck got out of each car, and one of them said, "Miss Shao, we will be responsible for transporting the boxes to your vi." ... Daniel was, indeed, so very considerate! She didn''t even have a chance to refuse the dolls. But she had now found a way to cope with his carefully devised n. "No, thank you. Please go back and just leave the dolls here!" said J. After they looked at each other, the bodyguards got back in their cars and drove away. Before long, there was a notice posted on J''s shop gate, which read, "Our top three shop''s customers can get limited edition dolls!" ... Soon enough, J''s shop was packed full with eager-buying customers. Inside the crowded shop, the desserts and snacks on the counter had already been sold out. And besides, to top it, they also received many orders from other different ces. Generally, the individual consumption was less than the massive,pany order value, so the top three customers were actually three differentpanies which had ced their massive orders at J''s shop. The firstpany''s order nearly reached one million dors! Within only three days, J had already sent away all the dolls Daniel had sent her, and had also gained a huge amount of money in the process. When Spark told Daniel what happened, Daniel didn''t utter one single word and just asked Spark to leave his office. J was so busy everyday that she rarely had time to even have lunch. More than that, she had also hired a lot of daily workers because there were so many things to deal with. She left the shop every evening at almost midnight. But on one particr evening, while being very exhausted, J returned to the vi and massaged her aching waist. When she almost arrived in front of the door, she was considering of going to the spa and hiring a pretty masseuse for a nice, tonic massage... She then suddenly screamed, "Ah!" J was suddenly startled by a figure which had appeared all of a sudden out of nowhere. She was so scared that she evenpletely forgot all about her exhaustion. "Daniel Si, it''ste at night! Why don''t you go to bed like normal people and instead hide here to frighten me to death? You''re crazy!" shouted J. "I can''t sleep without you, " replied Daniel. He leaned against her vi''s door, the cigarette''s ash he smoked flickering in the dark as he puffed out of it. What Daniel was saying to her was true; hisst experience with J had been memorable, and when night came and it was time to got to bed, the only thing that he could think about was her - J. But J just sneered at his words, and said, "Mr. Si, if you can''t fall asleep alone, you can call your girlfriend. And what are you doing at my house? Do you want to be an aspiring doorkeeper?" She then gave him an angry look, pushed him aside and opened the vi''s door. She was really tired, and she wasn''t in the mood to talk with him any longer. Chapter 71 Damn! This Man is Luring Me Again Chapter 71 Damn! This Man is Luring Me Again Daniel was about to follow her inside, but J stopped him, and said, "You are not permitted toe in." "I have the permit granted from your father and mother, " he said. The man then held her in his arms and eventually entered the mansion together. "What do you mean?" J said. ''How could my father and mother have allowed him free entry into our house? And I''m also alone at home most of the time. Aren''t my parents concerned about what this beast of a man could do to me?'' J thought. Daniel held on to her cheek and then lowered his head to kiss her lips, but the woman turned her head sideways and his kiss fell on her other cheek. "We haven''t seen each other for a couple of days. Have you missed me?" The man''s eyes kept staring at the woman, making her flush red and her heart beat faster and faster by his intense gaze. ''Damn, this man is luring me again!'' J thought. "No! It''s been going so well with my boyfriendtely!" J uttered the words to remind Daniel of his girlfriend and to mind his manners. A cold aura began to emanate from Daniel, "If you dare to mention about your boyfriend in front of me, I won''t mind telling him of ourst encounter together..." His lips were instantly covered by a small hand. "Daniel, you shameless wicked man!" She turned red as she uttered these words out of her mouth. Daniel grinned a sly smile, but in the same time so warm and attractive that J felt her brain nearly blow up. But the wordsing out from his mouth were contradicting to his smile, "I can do something even more mischievous to you. Do you want to find out?" J then violently dragged him by his sleeve and dragged him towards the door, "You! Get out! Now!" "OK!" This time the man simply agreed with her. J was confused and gave him a brief, pondering nce, ''Why is he acting so unusual this time? This must be a trap!'' J thought. And she was right! "If you''ll kiss me, I''ll leave you right now!" the man demanded. ... J really wanted to kill him. She couldn''t understand how this man could be so shameless. "Daniel..." "One more word, one more kiss. And if you won''t kiss me, I won''t leave!" Daniel said. He then started to climb up the stairs. J became anxious when she saw this and hastily ran up in front of him and, standing on her tiptoes, she gave him a kiss. When she was just about to step back, the man then put his big palm around her head and pushed the woman into his arms, deepening the kiss. A momentter, the man stopped kissing her, and then carried her to the second floor, "You, tempting woman, you''ve bewitched me..." J''s mind had already gone nk, her face had flushed a bright red, her eyes were hazy, that she didn''t hear a word of what Daniel had said to her. It wasn''t only until the man kicked open her bedroom''s door that J finally returned to her senses. She immediately jumped out of his arms, and said, "Daniel, your words don''t count!" "Of course they count." The man held on to her slim waist, and breathed and whispered beside her ear, "Give yourself up to me again, and I''ll go." J was speechless, and helpless, by Daniel''s shenanigans. ''Fine, then. As long as I can get him away from me, I''ll do it and then I''ll go to sleep early, '' J thought. "Just for one time only!" she said. J thought that there was no difference between only one time and one hundred times, since they had made love only once. Without uttering one more word, Daniel then pressed her under him on her wide pink bed. A charming and seductive aura filled the bedroom''s air as the night steadily grew. At about two o''clock in the morning, the man came out of the bathroom, and wrapped in a bathrobe, sat next to J. "Get out!" With her eyes closed, the woman kicked the man''s leg hard with her left foot. "What? You''re just gonna throw me out now?" He held her slim naked white leg. And then he started fumbling on her leg and J quickly withdrew it and hid it into the quilt. She was now really sleepy, "You are just like a balloon to me, and just like any other balloon, you have to be thrown away once you''ve popped and are useless!" The man''s eyes became bigger, and thought, ''Well done, Jane! You could always irritate me with no efforts.'' As he put on his clothes, he threw a glimpse at the woman who was huddling on the bed, and said, "Always remember! You''ve got a lot of balloons." ''What? What does he mean with this?'' J wondered. But before she could figure out his words, she fell sound asleep. The man, feeling refreshed, then left the Shao''s mansion. The next morning Samuel was informed of what happened by the mansion''s security guard, and instinctively he could feel that the rtionship between Daniel and Jane was... more than unusual. He then immediately called Daniel, "Father*, " answered Daniel with a cool rxed voice, actually sounding pleased. (*TN: Here father means sworn father.) "Last night... why did youe back to your mansion sote at night?" Samuel asked. Daniel had forgotten all about the security guards at the Shao''s mansion. "I''ve told mother that I have a project with Jane. And as you best know, Jane is even busier than me during the daytime, so that''s why I can only go and talk to her at night, " said Daniel. ''Indeed, we were talking about the projectst night. It valued at one billion dors! If she''s willing to, I can contribute a whole lot to her baking business.'' he thought. Daniel''s excuse sounded very reasonable, and Samuel would never expect that a young student like Daniel could ever surpass an experienced teacher. Samuel, who was an old driver* in E''s eyes, had been imperceptibly defeated by Daniel, the younger driver. (*TN: Old driver in Chinese is a ng to describe those men who are experienced in making tricky jokes about love, sex.) "Um, Daniel, you are a good man. Don''t let me down." Daniel certainly understood what Samuel''s words meant. He ced back his evil smile on his lips, and said, "Father*, I hope you can support me, Jane is... kind of hard to deal with." (*TN: here father means sworn father.) Daniel felt vexed and took out a cigarette out of the box and lit it. This girl was always wicked and tricky, and he had to tame her first before he could break into a sudden rage. If one day he would be so irritated by her constant refusals, then... Samuel made a slight smile over the phone, and asked, "Do you enjoy the pleasure of conquering her? Or that of really loving her?" Daniel drew smoke out of the cigarette and answered him without hesitation, "Loving her." Samuel nodded with satisfaction, "If so, then have no worries, I''ll support you!" Daniel felt a little more rxed as he had got the consent from Samuel, and decided to just let Jane act wild for a little more time before he would get to her sooner orter. On the afternoon of the following day Spark met J and presented her with a contract. J was reading the contract''s content and felt quite suspicious about it. The content was simple, and only wrote that there was a one-billion partnership project. Except for the And the contract woulde into effects from the moment it was signed. There wasn''t even the shop''s address written on it. Looking at J''s suspicious eyes, Spark tried hard not tough and repeated Daniel''s words to her, "You don''t need to worry that our CEO is cheating on you. You are different from our other business partners; he''s just simplified the content and made it easier for you to understand it. Anyway, almost all of the profits belong to you, Miss Shao." "Simplified?" asked J. "Yes, he is worrying that you may not understand it if the contract is too formal orplicated. Miss Shao, you know, Mr. Si, the chairman, and Mrs. Si, they are backing you up to. Think about it, how would our CEO ever dare to cheat you?" Spark added. ''Mr. Si, my CEO! I am so responsible and loyal to you! I''ve even helped you to cheat this little girl fall into it!'' Spark thought. His words were reasonable, but she still felt that the contract was quite strange, but she couldn''t tell ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. what was strange about it. Because all of her cake shop''s papers were only some simple certificates, she actually had no experience in signing a contract, or reading it. Chapter 72 How are You and Your Baby Doing Chapter 72 How are You and Your Baby Doing ''OK, Spark is right. I have the support of sworn father and sworn mother, Daniel wouldn''t dare to cheat me!'' J thought. She then took out a pen and signed her name on it. There was a flicker of satisfaction shing in Spark''s eyes because he could now finally ask for his vacation when he returned to thepany. But when Spark was about to say something more, J''s phone rang. "Hello, Shirley!" she answered. "What? You''re getting married? When''s the wedding?" "The day after tomorrow? Mhm. At your house?" "Of course I''lle! Give me the address." "Wait, what was that? Xiaxi Vige, of Xiaxi Town? Better send me the full address on Wechat, my navigation will take me there." "Um, well, take care of your baby, I love you! See you then!" J then put her phone back in her pocket and noticed that Spark was still there. "Anything else?" she asked. "Yes, there is one more contract from Mr. Si that needs to be signed. It''s the contract for the one thousand mousse cups that he discussed with youst time. Please sign here, and here, " Spark said. Spark then put two A4 sized pieces in front of her. ''Why is signing contracts so troublesome?'' thought J. She still had to work on the desserts and had no time left to spare for Spark, so she quickly signed her name on the sheets of paper. Putting her copy of the contracts into her bag, she then continued to work on the desserts. At the CEO Office of the SL Group Looking at the two signed copies of the contracts, Daniel grinned a big smile, and said, "Job well done!" Spark felt proud of himself, but actually he sessfully fulfilled the task only because of J''s simple and innocent mind. "Thank you, Mr. Si. About my vacation..." Spark said. "I''ll permit it, and I''ll personally pay for all of your travel expenses, " Daniel said. Looking at J Shao''s scribbled signature, Daniel started to imagine that she was now engulfed by him, under the protection ofw. "Oh! Thank you, Mr, Si!" When Spark was just about to leave the office, he remembered of J''s phone call, and wondered whether if he should tell him or not. In the end, he decided that he''d better tell him, because his CEO was really, after all, in love with J. "Mr. Si, Miss Shao will go to the Xiaxi Vige of Xiaxi Town of Shenqing City the day after tomorrow, to attend one of her former college ssmate''s wedding ceremony, " Spark said. "OK, I see." Daniel lit a cigarette and didn''t seem to care much about it. J could go anywhere she wanted to, as long as she would eventuallye back. And after all, it was only her friend''s wedding ceremony. In Shenqing City A red Mercedes Benz was being followed by a ck BMW car behind. J carefully looked at the car''s navigation, ''Why is there no road ahead?'' she thought, ''Well! Anyway! The bodyguards in the BMW areing in handy this time, '' she thought. Putting on her pair of five-inch high heels, J got out of her car and went to knock at the BMW''s window. "Miss Shao!" "Hello, my navigation seems to have some problems. I need to go to... Xiaxi Vige, but I can''t find the road!" She had driven for almost five hours, and hadn''t seen anyone that she could ask for help in the suburban districts of the small towns she passed through. "Miss Shao, we''ll use our navigation, Please follow our car!" one of the bodyguards said. "OK, thank you, then you drive in front of me." J happily went back to her car, and a couple of minutester she slowly followed the BMW from behind. When it was almost dusk, they finally reached the vige''s entrance, and Shirley Zheng and her mother had been waiting for her there. "Shirley! I''ve missed you so much!" J hugged Shirley tight. "So did I! J, you''ve be even more beautiful sincest time we met!" Shirley hold J''s hands and scanned her from top to bottom. "Thank you, but I''m actually so busy nowadays that I rarely have any time left for facial treatments. Shirley, how are you and your baby doing?" asked J. J carefully touched Shirley''s belly and thought that women really are miraculous creatures! Shirley looked at her serious look and tittered, "We''re doing well. Let me introduce you, this is my mother. Mom, this is J, the pretty girl I''ve been talking about." Shirley''s mother was a typical vige woman, with brown-tanned skin, wearing a green coat and casual ck trousers and ck shoes. She was kindly looking at J. "Hello, Mrs. Zheng, it''s nice to meet you! My name is J Shao, and I''m Shirley''s best friend!" J greeted Shirley''s mother with a sweet smile on her face. Shirley''s mother, Fanny Mu, was excited to meet J, who was really lovely and graceful, and she held J''s hands, and said, "Good girl, I am so happy to meet you, too. Come, let''s go home! Dinner is ready!" "Yes, let''s go, " said J. J asked a bodyguard to drive her car and she, along with Fanny and Shirley, walked along the rugged countryside road together. There were a few people on the road at this time of the day because it was supper time. And there weren''t evenmpposts in such a remote vige. However, from time to time, they met a few passers-by, and they all scanned J curiously because she looked so different from the other people here. "J, are they your bodyguards?" asked Shirley. She took a look at the two cars behind and guessed that they must be her bodyguards. J was born in a famous and wealthy family, and she had an affluent father and brother. When they were in college in America, Shirley could always see some bodyguards going around J to protect her just in case anything happened. "Yes, that''s right. Although I''m already a grown-up now, my father still is worried about me and has arranged for these men to follow me everyday! Oh, it''s so awful!" Comined J in a low voice. Shirley smiled and patted her hand, "You were born in a wealthy family, and your father does all of that for your own good, in case something dangerous, God forbid, happens one day. They take good care of you and ensure your everyday safety, so don''tin about it." J was well aware of her father''s worries and of course she couldn''tin, and so she nodded to her, and said, "But, aren''t they troublesome for you? At the dinner, or when we go to sleep. I forgot to to tell you all about them." "It doesn''t matter. My uncle and aunt''s house is just next to ours, and they''re never at home; my grandfather has the keys. If your bodyguards don''t mind, yo can just let them sleep there, " said Shirley. Shirley actually admired J very much, and although J didn''t have the best of grades in school, she still was spoiled by so many people. But unlike J, if Shirley had done bad in her studies, her family would have been quite unhappy with her. Her family had sacrificed everything to send her to study abroad. "That''s OK, there''s a ce for them to rest, " J said. The countryside road was so difficult to walk on that she nearly sprained her ankle. Luckily, Shirley held her in time, "J, are you OK?" "I''m OK, it doesn''t hurt!" said J smiling. She had been kickboxing from her childhood, so she wasn''t that feeble. Fanny Mu was very fond of this kind girl, even though she was born in a wealthy family. On arriving at their house, she shouted, "y! Come out now, your daughter''s friend has arrived!" N?velDrama.Org owns this text. J''s hands were still held by Fanny, and she instructed the bodyguards to take out the things out of her car trunk. Then, some people came out of the house, and besides Shirley''s father, y Zheng, there were also some of her aunts. On hearing her name, they all came out to meet J. Chapter 73 Hes Got A Girlfriend Chapter 73 He''s Got A Girlfriend Then J was dragged into the house by all of them, and all kinds of praises andpliments came flowing into her ears. Which made J feel so shy that her face flushed a bright red. Before nighttime came, all the vigers knew that a very lovely girl had arrived to the Zheng''s family house. They all said that the girl was very beautiful and wealthy, and was even followed by a group of bodyguards. And she had brought the Zheng''s some boxes of expensive cigarettes! And also several cartons of wine, which were valued for at least one thousand dors per bottle! Even more, she brought all sorts of expensive presents to Shirley''s family members. Everyone was talking about these things and about J, which actually made a lot of peoplee to Shirley''s wedding ceremony the next morning just to meet her. Then, when dinner began, J, as well as four other bodyguards, sat at the Zheng family''s big dinner table. Shirley''s sister and her sister-inw were carrying the bowls from the kitchen. "Mrs. Zheng, please ask Shirley''s sister and sister-inw to sit here with us. I''m Shirley''s best friend, not a stranger. There''s no need for so many hospitality rules, " said J. Shirley''s grandfather was looking at J with an appreciative look in his eyes and he thought that she really was a good girl indeed. But the rules and customs of the countryside were still very strict and conservative, so y Zheng, the head of the family, still didn''t agree to let the two women sit together at the big dinner table. J had to stop her speech and instead focus on the food. The table was filled with a variety of specialty dishes, which were finished by Shirley''s aunt who had just left. All the food was made by all natural and healthy ingredientsing from the vige countryside. The chicken was naturally fed and raised only with grains and corns. Also, there was pork and hare meat, and others. All animals had been raised by the vigers. ''This is so delicious!'' J thought that maybe one day she could also open a hotel and employ Shirley''s aunts as the main chef. That could be a very good business! At night, when they went to bed, Shirley took J to her simple bedroom and said, "J, please don''t mind the room how it looks. The conditions in the countryside are kind of poor, but this bed sheet is brand new, bought by my mother, and also the pillows." J was deeply moved by this, and as she held Shirley''s hands, she said, "Shirley, please sit down now. You are pregnant, you need to take good care of your baby." In fact, J was quite curious about Shirley''s pregnancy, yet she also felt frightened. Because... She already had intercourse with a man, she was a woman now, and she was afraid that maybe one day if she ever... When she thought of it, she felt kind of awful. "I''m OK, J. What are you thinking about?" Shirley asked. She curiously looked at J who suddenly seemed to be paralyzed. "Oh, nothing. Well, where''s your dear fiance? Is he also living in this vige?" asked J. Shirley then talked with her about her fiance. Her fiance was the mayor''s son here in Shenqing City, and they had be acquainted with each other through him. But J wondered why would mayor''s son ever love a girling from a vige. And introduced to her by his own father! J didn''t mean to look down upon Shirley, but the gap between their social status was, after all, huge. Maybe it was because that Shirley had the experience of studying abroad. But J didn''t speak out her thoughts and just felt a little awkward. As their conversation continued, J got to know more about their affairs. Three dayster after their first date, the mayor''s son invited Shirley toe in the city and they slept together on that very night. Shirley didn''t want to at first, but when the mayor''s son got angry, she eventually had to. Later on, she became pregnant and all the vigers got the fresh news. They didn''t condemn Shirley or anything because she was getting married to the mayor''s son. Then, Shirley asked J how it was going with Bill. "Bill and I are getting along just as usual. Bill has joined the military troops, and I have only met him once since we finished college, at Mr. Han''s birthday party. We haven''t kept in touch with each other ever since. He''s be more serious now, though a bit of childish still boils in him. It''ll still take him some more time to be fully mature." J and Shirley slept together with the quilt over them. J held Shirley''s arm with her left, and with her right touched Shirley''s belly. Shirley then slightly tapped J''s forehead with her index finger, and said, "You are a foolish girl. Bill was born in a military family, and now he''s joined the troops. He''ll surely be a high grade military officer in the future. Why don''t you hook up with him to be his girlfriend?"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. J curled her lips, and after a second thought, she finally decided to tell Shirley of her rtionship with Daniel, "I fell in love with someone else! I only consider Bill as my brother; I''ve told you many times about that!" The night in the countryside was tranquil. When Shirley heard J''s words, she curiously stared at her, and said, "Oh! The Shao''s little princess has finally fallen in love with someone! If even Bill, who came from such an excellent family, couldn''t be your lover, then the one you fell in love with must be really outstanding and have an even stronger background! Let me guess!" J''s face flushed red, and then she shook Shirley''s shoulder, "Give up your efforts in guessing who he is. You don''t know him, you can''t guess from the first try." Thinking of Daniel, J really felt helpless, because she didn''t know whether she should hate him or love him. "What''s his upation?" asked Shirley. "A super star? A CEO? Or is he... also a military officer?" ''Hey, Wait! Shirley really got one right!'' J thought. She covered her shy red face with her hands, and said, "Um, the second one." "Wow! A CEO! Do you know what''s behind the word CEO? The word CEO makes me think of great amounts of cash! Well, J, does he also love you?" J was from the upper-ss circles of society, and Shirley admired her life. ''Does he also love me?'' J hesitated for a while, but then thought of Daniel''s words, and she said, "Maybe, yes." But then, remembering Kate Song, she corrected herself, and said, "Or maybe not. He''s sort of a bad man." "What? A bad man? Why didn''t you say so?" Shirley was still trying to guess which CEO did J really fall in love with. She was shocked to hear that the man was actually bad. J was such a silly girl, why did she fall in love with a bad man in the first ce? "He''s got a girlfriend, but he still..." "Meets with me, " said J hesitating, as some words were hard to speak them out. "What? If he''s doing that, then he really is bad. J, don''t cheat on yourself with this sort of man. Stay calm, otherwise you will regret it in the future, " said Shirley, while trying to persuade her. Shirley herself actually regretted that she had given herself to the mayor''s son that night. After Shirley tried persuading her, J nodded, and said, "Yes, I will break up all connections with him!" At the very same time, in the urban city far which was now far away from J, Daniel was joyfully smoking cigarettes outside J''s mansion. He didn''t know that, in the end, all of his efforts would have been in vain. At three o''clock in the morning Brian suddenly got an urgent call from the military when everyone was still sound asleep. He quickly put on his clothes, boots and hurried to the military unit. In the unit, some of the special force troops were already standing in queue, wearing their equipment and waiting as the officer was steadily calling the roll. "What''s going on?" Brian asked one ofrades sitting next to him. "A group of terrorists have attacked a vige. Aren''t you themander of Sharp Eagle team? I guess you are on the mission!" hisrade said. Brian frowned at therade''s words; his Sharp Eagle team hadn''t been on any mission for over two years. This mission wasn''t a simple task, and they had been urgently assembled together for it. Then, all the eight members of the Sharp Eagle team were gathered. After the special forces'' roll-call, it was then Sharp Eagle team''s turn for it. Brian was themander of the Sharp Eagle special task force team, so he called the roll himself, "Frey Jiang." "Yes!" "York Chen!" "Yes!" ... After the roll-call, Brian strode over to general Si, and reported to him in a loud and clear voice, "General, Sharp Eagle team is now assembled, and including me, all nine members are present!" Chapter 74 Can You Afford It Chapter 74 Can You Afford It "OK! We''ve just received the information and a direct order from a superior that some international wanted criminals are now hiding at the Xiaxi Vige of the Xiaxi Town and are trying to evade their capture. They pose a great threat to the safety of the vigers there! Now, the Sharp Eagle team and special forces from the secondpany are to be deployed. Attention!" spoke Wesley Si, the Commanding General of the troops. "Yes!" The Sharp Eagle team and the special soldiers replied in unison and their voice was so loud that they could even be heard form far away in the distance! "Now, Brian Han, the Major and the Sharp Eagle team leader, will lead you to the Xiaxi Vige to carry out the mission at hand. Do not forget, above all, you should ensure the vigers'' safety first. Of course, you should also ensure your own safety!" added Wesley Si. "Yes!" ... After they saluted and said their goodbyes to Mr. Si together, Brian and his fellow soldiers packed up their equipment, carried the camouge backpacks to the cars and then drove the several military vehicles towards their destination. At about four o''clock the next morning Fanny and y got up first and began to get busy. At about five o''clock, Shirley was woken up by her younger sister. Shirley didn''t wake J up and also asked the make-up artist to try and keep quiet. When J woke up, Shirley had already changed into her wedding gown. In a daze, J sat up from the bed startled and then realized that Shirley was actually getting married today. "Please go and get washed first and then you can have the hot breakfast!" said Shirley. She smiled and looked at J who seemed to be in a trance. It wasn''t until when she heard Shirley''s words that J really noticed her. When she looked at Shirley, she began to slowly awake more and more, and said, "Wow! Shirley, you''re so beautiful today!" J pulled the quilt aside, got out of bed and then walked up to Shirley. She then began to scan Shirley up and down while she was walking around her. Shirley, with a ruddy face, helped J smooth her hair, and said, "J, you''re even more beautiful than me, and one day you''ll be the most beautiful bride!" ''Will I?'' thought J. When she saw Shirley, dressed in the wedding gown, she began to imagine her own wedding. ''Who would be my bridegroom? Could he be...'' she thought At about eight o''clock, after the firecrackers were set off, someone suddenly ran into Shirley''s bedroom, and said, "The bridegroom is here! The bridegroom has arrived!" Shirley, who was sitting on the bed, held J''s hand tightly, looking very nervous. "Don''t worry. You''re so beautiful and attractive today that you''ll leave him speechless!"forted J. Being Shirley''s bridesmaid, she wore a pink-white, long id coat with a long dress of the same color underneath. She looked beautiful but in a more low-key style. Walter, the bridegroom, had entered the courtyard, and a sudden rush of noise and excitement came roaring from outside. After a series of customs whichsted more than ten minutes, Walter looked a little impatient as he finally could enter Shirley''s bedroom. He gave those who stood in front of the bedroom''s door several big red envelopes and then sessfully entered the room. It was the first time that J was meeting Walter, who was about 24 years old. He looked a little fat and had small eyes on which he wore a pair of golden frame sses. He looked at Shirley for a while and then directly turned his eyes onto J. His eyes seemed to glint when he was looking at her, which made J feel very ufortable. Walter had left a bad impression on J! When another man, one of the groomsmen, saw J, he immediately got close to her, and asked, "Wow! Where does the beautiful girle from?" "Shirley, is she your ssmate? She''s so pretty. Could you introduce her to me?" asked another groomsman. Several groomsmen then gathered around Shirley and J and began to make rude jookes. J just smiled, not uttering a single word. Luckily, the wedding ceremony started and J could finally skip the embarrassment, but during the ceremony, many people had their eyes fixed on her. She felt more ufortable and wanted to escape even more then. There were a lot of betrothal presents ced in the courtyard, so Shirley''s parents were very joyful when they saw them. Walter held Shirley in his arms and then put her in the Ferrari convertible, while they were surrounded by all the people. J opened the car door on the other side and sat on the backseat with Shirley. After another burst of loud firecracker bangs, the Ferrari turned around and drove away. It was followed by about ten BMW cars, a really pompous lineup for the countryside vige. They had already driven a few hundreds meters away, and a lot of children were still following the cars, running andughing behind them. When the Ferrari reached the vige turning, a sudden, loud bang was hearding from the near distance, which shook the whole car and made it tremble with the vibrations. What had happened? The Ferrari immediately stopped and the cars following did as well. At this moment, J''s Benz had quickly caught up from behind with the Ferrari. "Miss Shao, there is something happening in the vige and it''s dangerous there. For your own safety, please get back in the car, " said a bodyguard. He had knocked on the Ferrari''s window. When J rolled down the window and saw the serious look in his eyes, she realized that he wasn''t kidding at all. In that moment they heard a screaming from the distance, "Help!" J, who had just got out of the Ferrari, saw a heavy smoke rising from a corner of the vige far behind her. With panic in her eyes, J wondered, ''What happened?'' Walter also got out of the car, and when he saw the smoke, he cursed, "Damn it! Bad luck!" He then got out of the Ferrari, and said to the driver, "Step on it, quick!" Shirley immediately called Walter to stop. "Walter, don''t drive away. I have to go back and check if my family members are safe!" "Don''t go back and check! Call them!" Walter was furious and shouted at her. When she saw that he spoke to her in such a rude way, Shirley, with her eyes turning red, was just about to cry when she took out her phone. J moved beside the assistant driver''s seat of the Ferrari and knocked on the car window. When he saw her, Walter immediately looked more nicer and more friendlier, and asked, "What''s up? Shirley''s ssmate." "Are you a real man? Shirley is pregnant and her family members are also in the vige. Why are you shouting at her? Can''t you even show a bit of consideration for her!" scolded J angrily. When he heard her berating words, Walter was a little stunned. Shirley, who sat on the backseat, had by now already choked with sobs, and said, "J, I''m fine, don''t worry. The call almost connected!" Before J got any chance to a reply, Shirley got through on the phone with her father, "Father, what happened in the vige?" After she heard what her father said over the phone, Shirley began to cry, and told her husband, "Walter, a group of strangers arrived at our vige and they aremitting murders right now!" When he learned about the a terrible situation, Walter just said, "You''re foolish and crazy! Do you want to go back and be killed? I won''t go there. Go back by yourself if you want to!" When J heard these words, she tightly held her fists with rage, clenched her teeth and then kicked the Ferrari''s door, shouting, "God damn you! You don''t deserve to be a man!" Walter got out of his car right away and was furious when he saw J kicking the Ferrari. "Do you know how much I''ve paid to rent this Ferrari? Now that you''ve kicked it, if there''s any scratch on it can you afford it?" he shouted. J, who was looking at him, just sneered at his words. Then she turned around, and said to the bodyguard, "Stay here and wait for me. I''ll go back to the vige!" "Miss Shao, you can''t go back there. It''s too dangerous!" The bodyguard immediately stopped J and tried to persuade her from returning to the vige. But J had already got in the car, and said, "Don''t worry! I''ve learned taekwondo and can protect myself. Please ask another bodyguard to take Shirley away from here first!" When J started the car, Shirley had already opened the Ferrari''s door and got off the car. She then ran in front of J''s car, and said, "J, please don''t go back. Let me go alone instead! They are my mother and father!" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Walter had already bitterly disappointed her in the first hour of their marriage. "Shirley, just listen to me. You''re pregnant and you can''t go there, it''s too dangerous, " said J. Uttering these words, she turned the car around and drove back towards the vige. Shirley watched the Benz driving away fast and then burst into tears. Chapter 75 She Couldnt Stand Idle Chapter 75 She Couldn''t Stand Idle The bodyguard had to follow J''s instructions, and let another drive her car, which took Shirley out of there. The other three people immediately climbed inside a BMW and stepped on the throttle to keep up with the Mercedes. The vige was already a mess. The only road was full of vigers who ran and screamed. It sounded like that people around were making troubles in the border. J basically had no idea about the weapons, although she was afraid of them. But when she remembered the kind Mr. and Mrs. Zheng, and the tears falling off Shirley''s cheeks, she couldn''t just sit and watch. When she arrived at the Zheng''s house, she was lucky enough not to encounter any dangerous person in her way. J jumped out of the car and knocked at the door. "Uncle, auntie, it is me, J!" y Zheng was injured on his shoulder and Fanny was sobbing in one of the rooms. She was stunned when she heard J''s voice. "Mom, it sounds like J." The little girl shaking in the corner widely opened her eyes. Fanny then quickly ran to open the door. She first opened a gap and saw that it really was J and then she quickly pulled her inside the house. "J, why are you back?" J gasped for air, and said, "You have toe with me. I''ll take you out of here." Hearing J''s words, y Zheng tried to stand up from the sofa. "J, hurry and take Shirley..." "Don''t worry uncle, there are two cars, everyone can get on the bus." Bang! A loud noise came from the Zheng''s red iron gate. J''s bodyguards were hiding in the car at this time, and they didn''t dare to act rashly. If they had acted out this time, they would have only made things worse. Sure enough, after another loud bang, there was silence. J took the opportunity to let the Zheng family get in the Mercedes and the BMW. She was sitting in the front with a very alert co-pilot bodyguard. He was always on the lookout for any dangers. They drove to the vige''s gates, where she had initially just separated with Shirley, and just then, a man with a murderous look on his face jumped right in front of them. He picked up the weapon in his hand and started attacking them! The bodyguard next to her shouted, "Get down!" J stepped on the brake, squatting on the steering wheel, her heart beating more violently than ever. The bodyguard then opened the door and the window, and only revealing a pair of eyes, shot him twice. "Ah!" They heard a scream, and the man who was attacking them suddenly fell to the ground and died. It was the first time she had encountered this kind of situation, and she was scared that her body was weak and couldn''t keep up with the pressure. The car then continued to move forward, and not long after she found that the BMW and the rest of the wedding team that had followed her were parked not that far away from the front. She saw the car and two other peopleing from that direction. The two men wore ck robes and their skin was dark and it looked like they were not Chinese. "Stop!" They really weren''t Chinese, and they spoke English. J stopped her car and the cars that followed her also stopped. "Get down and squat!" J saw that not that far away there were many people squatting. Shirley was looking at her with tears running down her cheeks and her face became pale. "Let''s go! Let''s go, now!" J worked hard to calm herself, and led the Zheng family squatting to Shirley. Walter was still cursing on the other side, saying that this happened only because Shirley had brought him bad luck! J, as he passed him, kicked Walter, and said, "You scum, marrying you was Shirley''s bad luck!" Walter wasn''t prepared for the kick, so he fell to the ground. "Bitch! You''re looking forward to die!" Walter waved his fist at J, but as he saw the two bodyguards in front of J, he was immediately frightened. "J, are you OK?" Shirley asked. Shirley''s veil was lost, and the once pure-white wedding dress had be dirty. Afterforting her parents, she tightly held on to J''s hand. "I''m fine, don''t be nervous, we''ll find a way to get out of here eventually." The men in ck robes came to them, and warned, "Shut up, or we''ll kill you!" Then they whistled. The women did not scream, but Walter did. Seeing the cowardice look on Walter''s face, Shirley really regretted her choice. She could still hear the loud noises and cries far away in the vige louder than firecrackers. Knowing that she was not dreaming, her face turnedpletely pale. In the meeting room of the SL Group on the 22nd floor "... Next, the head of the sales department went to the malls where thest three performances were inspected. At the end of this year, the human resource department can recruit studentsing from..." Halfway into Daniel''s meeting, Spark ran in with his phone in his hand. Spark behaved strange, which made Daniel frown. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. "It''s Mr. Jerry. It''s something urgent!" ''Mr. Jerry?'' Daniel picked up the phone and indeed it was Jerry, "Hi, it''s me." "Daniel, Jane''s ssmate called me just now and said that something had happened in Xiaxi Vige. She was invited to her ssmate''s wedding there. I''m now in awsuit in New York, and the first flight is in the afternoon..." "What happened in the Xiaxi Vige?" asked Daniel. He closed the folder, got out of his chair and rushed outside of the room. The other executives saw the scene and were stunned. ''What happened to the president?'' "Didn''t you read the news? The internationally wanted criminals from the Green Cold Country have been hiding in the Xiaxi Vige." ''Internationally wanted criminals?'' Daniel frowned and then quickly entered the elevator. After returning to his 88th floor office and taking something from it, he then went to the parking lot. "I know. I''m going right now." When Daniel was just about to end the call, Jerry said, "Daniel..." "Hum?" "The news broadcast said that Xiaxi Vige is already... Daniel, please find her and take good care of her. I am on my way back now!" Jerry was distressed when he saw the vige photos on his tablet. The whole vige was filled with smoke. ''Jane, please be fine...'' "Well, I know. I''m heading there right now." Daniel opened the car''s door, fastened his seat belt, opened the phone navigation, and turned it on, with it''s final destination Xiaxi Vige. He drove the Rolls Royce quickly out of the parking lot. On his way, Daniel put on a Bluetooth headset and dialed several numbers. Then he drove straight to the highway. When he was nearly 200 yards close to Xiaxi Vige, he rushed even more. In Xiaxi Vige Three military vehicles stopped a few hundred meters away from the vige. Brian looked at the smoke "Gather!" All soldiers gathered neatly in three rows. Brian''s expression was very serious as he began to assign orders. "Everyone obey. The gangsters in the Xiaxi Vige have already begun to act their evils. We''re now divided into three teams and each one of us will sneak into the vige on a different route..." Brian quickly assigned the team and then appointedmanders to each of the teams. "Everyone remember: safety first! We must keep the vigers safe, as well as ourselves!" Chapter 76 What A Chinese Beauty Chapter 76 What A Chinese Beauty "Yes sir!" All the soldiers saluted their leader together and then swiftly started on their tasks. "Walter, what should we do?" The skinny best man, quietly asked him. Walter looked at him with a sour face, and said, "Leave me alone. If I knew what to do I wouldn''t be here. That bitch! This is all her fault!" Walter fiercely nced at Shirley, who was holding her sister''s hand in silence. J really wanted to kick the son of a bitch scum Walter to death! The police car wasn''t that far away and, judging by the sound of the siren, was getting closer and closer to the vige. But the police still didn''t know the current situation in the vige. Time went by... When the enemy became more rxed and less vignt, several bodyguards nced a couple of meaningful looks to each other. Each one fixed on an enemy, and then all of them jumped them all at once. One of the enemies was shot several times. It looked like he was dying, but when he lifted himself up from the ground was shot again! "Everyone get in the cars!" One of the bodyguards began to direct everyone to the cars, while the other ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. two bodyguards were still trying to fight back the enemy. All the people got in the cars. J walked around an enemy''s body and prepared to sit in the driver''s seat. But then another one of the enemies got up from the ground and grabbed J and hold a dagger against her neck. "All of you, stop!" The viin then appeared in front of the bodyguards holding J, and her bodyguards'' faces turned to white instantly. They slowly ced their weapons on the ground. But, the Ferrari and BMW wedding cars had slipped away in just a few seconds. Only the Mercedes-Benz and some other BMW''s remained; Shirley and her family were sitting in the car. Not far away from the vige, two off-road vehicles, without bearing license tes, came into near sight. After the gangsters saw them, they quickly took J to the other side of the road. "Take them away first!" J shouted at the bodyguard, thinking that they should seize the moment. Shirley ran out of the car and cried out loud, "J, J, I''ll save you!" She then ran to J with her wedding dress in her hand. When the gangster saw someone running towards them, he immediately took another dagger out of belt and threw it towards her. He was very urate and Shirley had no time to escape the dagger which directly plunged into her right leg. "Ah!" Shirley fell to the ground, and the intense pain made her face instantly pale. "Shirley!" Seeing that her best friend was injured, J''s mind went nk. But then, as she didn''t know from where her body strength came, she directly gave the gangster who had previously controlled her a perfect shoulder break! In pain, the gangster tried to raise his dagger but J immediately kicked his wrist before he could even start and the dagger was kicked far away. Then, grinding her teeth, she picked up the man on the floor by his robes and hit him hard in the face with her fist. Her fist had been injured, and she wanted to stop and ease the pain, but the man didn''t give her the opportunity. These criminals were very aggressive and tough. He rolled over and climbed up from the ground, and tried again to attack J with his bare hands. Two bodyguards rushed over to her, and one of them also blocked a punch for J just in the nick of time. The two unlicensed off-road vehicles were already close to them. One of the bodyguards took J and ran towards the car. However, after a sullen sigh, the bodyguard who took her running suddenly fell on the ground. She saw danger behind her, and it was aiming at all the people around her... Just before the bodyguard fell, he managed to push her. She fell in front of the Mercedes, but the man who saved her was now under attack by the weapon. J curled up. Looking at the bodyguard who gradually lost his breath and died, she freaked out. The people were there to protect her. If she hadn''te to Xiaxi Vige, or hadn''t returned the second time, they would have been still alive... She was weak. The off-road vehicles stopped, and a dozen other gangsters were now gradually approaching her. For a moment, more than a dozen weapons were all aimed at the little woman shivering on the ground. "Boss! It''s a woman. She looks like she doesn''t have any weapons on her." "The woman looks good. Bring her to me!" The two gradually approached her, and after they were sure that she didn''t have any weapons on her, they immediately picked her up from the ground. After a short bump, she was thrown in front of a man. The man was tall and mighty, with white skin and wearing military-green trousers and ck, dirt stained boots. Her chin was lifted up by the man, and he looked at her with an ill will sparkling in his eyes. "What a Chinese beauty!" Then there were all kinds ofughtering from all around, and some people started to groan from time to time. Soon, the crowd started screaming, and several gangsters suddenly fell dead on the ground. A group of soldiers in military uniform quickly surrounded all the gangsters. Then, arge number of police officers also came deployed from the county. Hundreds of people used their weapons to target the gangsters, and J fell on the ground... The man who was calling the shots was triggered by this scene, and rudely picked up the woman up from the ground. A gun was pressed against J''s head, and she only heard him roaring, "You all step back, or I will kill her!" Seeing what was going on, some people said to Brian, "Major Han, it''s just a woman. We can''t let these criminals escape just for her." It was the quickest way to encircle the enemy together. At the same time, the number of casualties could be reduced to a minimum, and it wasn''t a big deal to give the woman''s family somefort money afterwards. After he received the phone call from his boss, and reported of the current situation, Brian heard what the man said. He walked silently and saw who the woman held by the gangsters was! ''J!'' Brian''s face turned pale immediately. ''How could she be here?'' he wondered, ''How could she be the one held by the gangsters?'' When J had lost all hope, she suddenly heard a man''s powerful voice. "We can''t hurt any innocents. We must save the hostage!" J was surprised to see him, and they actually made eye contact. ''It''s Brian!'' Brian tipped her with a wink, and J gradually calmed down. "God damn it! I''ll force my way out!" The boss who had captured J was prepared to use the weapon in his hand. He pressed it to J''s head, and he prepared to fire it. "No, boss! We can use the woman to get out of here!" Another man in a ck robe immediately stopped his boss''s action. The man, who was called the Boss, yelled at Brian, "If you all step back and let us go, the woman won''t be harmed!" In fact, J was eager to say "Don''t worry about me! Kill them all!" But she missed her family after all, and... Today she had encountered and felt both life and death, almost in an instant. She remembered Shirley''s despair because all of her family was still being held in the vige. And if the criminals were not subdued as soon as possible, there would be even more casualties. She finally convinced herself. Chapter 77 I Will Marry You Tomorrow Chapter 77 I Will Marry You Tomorrow "Don''t worry about me!" J shouted. Not many people could sacrifice their selves. But she, J, was about to do this soon. When she thought of it, J smiled with a sort of relief. Her smile had now shocked most of the people standing on the other side. Brian frowned and kept his silence and everyone had little or no patience left. "Retreat! Let them pass, " he started talking. The local police chief immediately gave Brian an angry look. Although he was furious, he still had to talk respectfully, and said, "Major Brian, we have hundreds of people deployed, and if we surrender to a terrorist team of just a little more than a dozen people, people willugh at us!" Brian didn''t seem to hear what he said. He still ordered coldly, "Go back first." Several soldiers of the Sharp Eagle retreated first, followed then by the Special Forces. Seeing what was happening, J became anxious. She was ready to sacrifice herself, and wondered why Brain had to retreat right now. However, she couldn''t talk with Brain, and so she could only find a solution to this predicament all by herself. The gangster had put her on the front passenger''s seat in the car, and a man always held the weapon against her head on the backseat. The car''s window was open. Right after the car started to take off on the road, J opened the door and jumped out of it hastily, with a courage she didn''t know where. "Damn it!" The boss who was driving then roared, took out a gun, and started attacking J. The bullet hit J''s back with a loud noise on impact. At the same time, gunshots sounded everywhere, and the battle started. J made a few rolls on the ground and the boss continued to attack her, shooting her in the leg. When the third shot was heard, a pair of powerful long arms brought J up on her feet; Brain kept the woman in his arms and protected her. The hard bullet hit his shoulder, Brian''s face turned pale, and he tightly squinted his eyes because of the searing pain. The war between the two sides had officially kicked off. When J almost fell in aa, she seemed to see a familiar figure. The familiar figure kicked Brian''s back, and one bullet that was supposed to hit him missed and shot in the ground. Form J''s perspective, Daniel was hurting Brian... J fell into a familiar embrace, but she felt pain all over her body, and didn''t have the strength not even to open her eyes. Daniel''s bullets were all used up now, and a wounded criminal ran towards him with a weapon in his hand. He lifted his right foot and kicked the viin to the ground. Daniel held J and then quickly picked up the gun from the ground, immediately giving the criminal a fatal blow. While she was slowly slipping in aa, she heard Daniel''s cold voice. "J, don''t go to sleep. If you dare sleep, I''ll marry you tomorrow!" The more she didn''t want to marry him, the more he wanted to trap her beside him. After she had seen the dangers of life or death, J really wanted then to cherish Daniel. However, she saw Daniel hitting Brian. Why did Daniel do that? She would never talk to Daniel for the rest of her life, or marry him. J tried her best not to let herself go to sleep. "Great-grandma, grandpa, grandma... dad, mom, brothers... aunt, uncle... Sven, Bill... I miss you, Bill... I still want to see the pink rose flowers... If I... will live, I will find you... and be... with..." "Shut up!" After listening to her for a long time, Daniel didn''t hear his name, so he was furious. In the end she aid that she wanted to be with Bill. He felt that his efforts had been in vain! He had saved a heartless woman! J sobbed softly and thought that although she was going to die, Daniel was still rude to her. Her powerless sobs sounded like a newborn kitten, a poor, helpless little thing. "J, don''t cry." Her crying disturbed him. Although there were only a few people on the other side left, they were very tenacious and skillful at avoiding the police tracking. Hearing his voice,bined with searing pain all over her body, made J cry even harder. Daniel carried her on his shoulder in silence, and was ready to retreat at anytime. The situation had gradually improved, and the remaining viins were then surrounded. The gunshots were getting less and less frequent, and the ambnce and fire truck sirens around were ringing loud. Daniel kicked the man lying on the ground at his feet and then ran to his car with feeble J. Everything all was peaceful again. He drove the Rolls Royce over the mountain road back to town, and Sven, who he called halfway, had already arrived back in town. After the two met, the first thing they did was to take J to the local hospital. The bullets in J''s body then were taken out. But the medical equipment in that town was limited. If they wanted to get J safe they had to bring her to Chengyang Private Hospital as soon as possible. In Chengyang Private Hospital J slowly opened her eyes and was dazed by all the people standing by her bedside. ''Great-grandmother, grandpa, grandma, mom, dad...So I''m alive after all, '' she thought. "Sven, am I alive?" She ndly called out to Sven, who was looking at the equipment near her. Sven smiled at her, and said, "I got your back, OK?" J rolled her eyes at his smugness. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the equipment, but when they heard her speaking, they all shifted their looks on her. "Jane, you''re awake!" Melody held her walking stick, and then slowly walked to J and held her hand. "Jane, thank God you woke up! You scared me to death!" Vi had her eyes filled with tears. "Kid, are you thirsty, hungry?" Vincent also stared anxiously at his one and only granddaughter. J nodded, and said, "I am fine. Maybe... thirsty." She nced at their worried faces and her heart filled with warmth. She remembered that when she was in Xiaxi Vige, she seemed to have seen Daniel. Where did he go? Had she imagined all of it? No, Daniel had attacked Brain with a weapon. It wasn''t a hallucination. E came over to her with a ss of water, picked up a cotton swab next to her, dipped it in a ss of water, and then pressed it on her dry lips. J licked her wet lips, and said, "Mom... can I drink it?" "No, you''ve just gone out of surgery. You have to wait a while longer before you can drink." Sven took ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. off his mask and looked at J, who was for him the most beautiful woman ever. "Sister." John slipped from Samuel''s body, ran to J''s bed, and then climbed on her. Vincent quickly picked up his grandson. "John, your sister is not feeling too well, you can''t climb on her." But J smiled at John and tried lifting her left arm, but felt it hurt. Chapter 78 Wont You be Eaten by Him to the Bone Chapter 78 Won''t You be Eaten by Him to the Bone "Don''t try to move your arm! Your left shoulder is wounded." Sven reminded her diligently. ''Well, OK then!'' J didn''t dare move an inch. "Sister, will you go back to sleep?" John asked while he curiously stared at her; he hadn''t seen his sister for a long time. J then nced at E, who standing next to John, and asked, "Mom, I''ve been already sleeping for a long while, haven''t I?" "Yes, for almost two days! You really gave us a scare! Foolish girl!" The event in Xiaxi Vige was reported by the media and J, who was held hostage, had been broadcasted to the public. And because she had wanted to sacrifice herself for everyone''s safety, all the users had now regarded and praised her as being the most beautiful woman in the world. Samuel and E had found out of their daughter''s happenings through the news. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. And so they immediately came back together with John. Samuel had already scolded Jerry for his negligence in taking good care of his sister. "For two days! That''s so long! Mom, do you know how Brian is doing?" asked J. She couldn''t forget about Brian; after all, he had been shot in order to protect her. E put down the ss of water in her hand, and said, "They say he''s still in the military hospital, but we still don''t know much about his current condition." As soon as their ne hadnded, they rushed to the hospital. They knew little of what had been going on, and upon their arrival they saw that Daniel himself had kept J safe and had looked after her. J was about to jump up from bed, but her whole family surrounded her and stopped her. "Jane, don''t move! Don''t forget about your wounds!" "Oh dear! My dear granddaughter, don''t be so anxious to get up, just lie still!" "Jane, what do you want to do? I''ll help you, " said her father. ... J was forced to go back to the bed, so she had no choice but to lie down and stay still. "I want my phone, and I need to call to Brian to see if he''s doing well. He took a gunshot wound for me, " J said. Samuelforted his daughter, and out of her dirty handbag took out the phone and switched it back on for her. J searched for Brian''s phone numbers, but when she was just about to dial it, she saw that all of her family members were still staring at her. She felt embarrassed make the call before them, and said, "Can you give me some space? I can''t talk on the phone when all of you are staring at me!" Then her family left her alone, and J dialed the number. The call was soon connected. "J! How are you doing?" asked Brian. "I am doing well, but what about you, Brian?" Brian eased up when he heard that J was fine, and he answered, "I''m also doing good. A bullet shot is not that much of a big deal for me. Don''t worry." "Well, thank you, Brian. I''lle and see you when I''ve recovered." J thanked him sincerely for all that he had done for her. Brian had saved her life, and her words couldn''t describe enough the gratitude she owed him. In the military hospital, Brian had already got out of his bed, and said, "No, you don''t need toe and see me. Just take good care of yourself, I''lle and see youter. Where are you now?" "I''m in... No, um, please just wait. I''lle by myself!" insisted J. She still thought she should go and thank her saver herself. Brian smiled, and gave up on the argument with her, and said, "OK, then, I''ll wait for you. But please rest now." "OK. Goodbye, Brian!" After J hung up the phone, Sven came closer to her, and asked, "Jane, was that your boyfriend?" ''Oh, the little girl has really grown-up. She''s got a boyfriend!'' Sven thought. But he also felt a little bit confused, because Daniel''s reactions towards J''s condition seemed to be... quite unusual. "No. He is just my friend, and also my life saver!" said J. She put down the phone on the pillow side, and then felt really sleepy. "Well, all right! Rest now, and remember not to get out of bed for the next couple of days, to avoid the wound from reopening!" warned Sven. Putting his hands into the white gown''s pockets, Sven left some instructions to Samuel and E, then left the room. J then slept until midnight. The patient''s room was quiet, and J looked around but saw nobody. "Dad! Mom!" Jerry was working on hisptop, but Sven heard J''s voice. They came up to J. "Jane, are you awake? Are you hungry?" Jerry stood beside J, and Sven lifted the upper part of the bed, so that J could sit up and lean on it with her back. J nodded, "Yes, I''m hungry and thirsty." Sven poured out some soup in a bowl from a thermos sk, and then passed it on to her, "Daniel brought this soup earlier; it''s going to be good for your gunshot wounds'' recovery. Now, drink it while it''s still hot." ''Daniel?'' Sven was stirring the hot soup to cool it a bit, but then J red at it, and said, "No, I don''t want to drink it!" ''Huh, I absolutely won''t drink a single drop of his soup! Why did hee to see me so covertly without even waiting for me to wake up? And he shot Brian! He acted so malicious towards him!'' J thought. Jerry and Sven then took a nce at each other, and asked, "Why?" "I won''t drink a single drop of that scumbag''s soup!" J said. Instantly, Sven thumbed up, and then earnestly asked Jerry, "Is Daniel really able to predict the future?" J felt perplexed and just looked at Sven. "Daniel said to tell you that if you won''t drink his soup, then we ''ll have to call him up, " Sven said. Daniel had left these words to them before he went away. J''s face flushed red, and then she dragged over the quilt with her uninjured hand to cover her face a little. Then, she said, "Is he thinking too highly of himself? Even if you call him, I still won''t drink his damn soup!" Without expecting it, Sven then took out his phone and dialed Daniel''s number. "Hey! Sven! Can''t you just keep a secret for me?" asked J. She furiously stared at Sven, who was now making the call. Sven shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I have no choice. You''re not listening to us, and you''re hungry and you''re still trying to pretend to be strong... Hello, Daniel. You were right, why is Jane not drinking the soup? OK, fine then." J, not knowing what Daniel had said on the other side of the line, then saw Sven hang up the phone. J really wanted to throw a pillow and hit Sven''s face. "What did he say?" she asked. Sven threw a few more nces at her, and he suddenly came to understand the rtionship between them. Perplexed, he knocked on his own head, and thought himself of being a fool that he hadn''t realized what was really going on between them sooner. ''Daniel and J...'' "Ha, ha...ha..." Sven suddenly burst intoughter, hardly containing his wild reactions. Now, Jerry and J were confused and were staring at Sven, who was almost rolling on the floor with Sven finally stoppedughing, tidied up his white gown, and said, "Jane, are you able to take that icy- cold face under control?" "What?" J was perplexed at his words. "Well. I mean, if you''re still getting together with Daniel and all, won''t you be eaten by him to the bone?" ''Jane is a simple and pure girl, while Daniel isplicated and thoughtful. If they ever be a couple, J is surely to be overwhelmingly controlled by him, '' thought Sven. J flushed red again, and then she directly threw her pillow to Sven, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I''m not getting together with Daniel!" However Jerry, who was next to her, sarcastically remarked, "Yes, you are. Actually, that makes no difference, because you are actually together right now." ... Sven tried hard to bear hisughter, and said, "Jane, my dear Jane! I had never expected Daniel to be conquered by you! You really are grand!" ''That icy-cold face of his... Ha, ha... maybe it can only be melted away by the warm, sunny Jane, '' thought Sven. "Sven, don''t you also think that Daniel is wicked, and bad?" asked J. And, somehow like she was bearing a grudge, she looked at Sven''s smiling face. Chapter 79 I Wont Be Coming to See You Anymore Chapter 79 I Won''t Be Coming to See You Anymore Sven thought more about it. ''Daniel had only once been in love, but he separated with that girl years ago. After that, I''ve never seen him make a new girlfriend. Oh! That''s right, Kate Song! So, he has a rtionship with Kate Song, but at the same time another with Jane...'' thought Sven. "He''s bad!" he said, "and wicked!" But, Sven''s words actually made J feel more sympathetic towards Daniel. And she couldn''t help herself throw out the words, "Maybe not that bad." J''s mind started to roam about, and then Sven and Jerry looked at each other. After a while, Jerry winked to Sven. "Jane, please wait for Daniel here. Sven and I have something to discuss about outside." J snapped out of it, and asked, "Is Daniel reallying here?" She felt scary, but also furious. Sven nodded to her, "Yes. Daniel said that he ising here. I suppose that he is already on his way here right now." "Sven Si! Are you really my brother? Call him back right now! Tell him not toe here and see me!" J shouted. She was in a real panic now, without even knowing the real reason. She then took over the bowl of soup, and said, "I will drink it, OK? Now, hurry up! Call him back, please!" ... Her unusual reaction startled the two men. ''What''s wrong with J?'' thought Sven, ''Why is she so flustered on knowing that Daniel is on his way here? She wouldn''t have been so anxious if she were meeting her boyfriend, not to say that Daniel is already a scumbag in her eyes, '' Sven thought. Perplexed at her reaction, Sven dialed Daniel''s number, and the call soon connected, "Hey, Daniel. Jane said that she''ll drink the soup, and you don''t need toe anymore." J nearly choked on the soup when she heard his words, and said, "Sven, do you really have to be so honest?" "Wasn''t it you that asked me to say that?" Looking back at J, who was just about to burst into rage, Sven really felt speechless and helpless. But the call was still connected, and J''s words fell freely into the man''s ears on the other side of the line. "Sven, I''ll be there soon. Bye." Daniel hung up the phone and then carefully continued driving his car. ''J Shao! How much are you expecting me? I''ll have to ask youter!'' Daniel thought. In the patient''s room Now, all three people were staring at each other in silence. "Sven, didn''t you hear me? You need to change my room! I don''t want to stay in this room anymore!" J shouted. She then put back the empty bowl on the table and continued to protest. Sven shook his head, and said, "There are so many patients here that there''s not an empty room left now." ... J furiously stared at Sven and demanded, "Then, please ask your security guards to stop him from entering; don''t let that man in!" Sven again shook his head, and said with a helpless tone in his voice, "I don''t have the power to do that. The hospital is my father''s, and will be soon handed down to Ang. I only work for them." Sven actually also wanted toin about himself. If his sister, Ang, had ever had any interests in being a doctor, his father would have turned him straight away a long time ago. J then turned to her own brother with pitiful eyes, and said, "Brother, please take me home! I don''t want to stay here!" Facing his sister, Jerry felt embarrassed and walked up to J, and said, "Um, Jane. When you were in that dangerous situation, I was in America and couldn''te back in time. Daniel was there to save you instead, and so... please just behave yourself!" ... ''Is my own brother also backing up Daniel now? And he doesn''t even care about the fact that Daniel has two girlfriends?'' J thought. She really wanted to fight with them now! "Jerry Shao, I will ask my father to beat you to death!" J felt so desperate that she hid herself inside the quilt, and didn''t want to meet anyone anymore. "Jerry, Sven, we''re breaking up all rtions between us now, " spoke J. "You should all now stand ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. by that evil man''s side, because you are good buddies, right? But remember that I''ve also grown up with you two, ever since childhood!" Now there were only murmuringsing from inside the quilt, "Jerry, I am your sister! You''re really throwing me away after you already did that to your wife? And you, Sven, you said that you broke up with your girlfriend because of me. You must be... Ah! Wait!" J pulled away her quilt and was about to interrogate Sven again, but a handsome face suddenly drew close to hers. "Ah! Daniel! Ah! You frightened me to death!" J patted her chest. ''He is always frightening me to death!'' she thought. His familiar scent came rushing into her nose, which made her nearly suffocate; she took arge gulp of air. ''Wait! Where are my brother and Sven? When did they go wander away?'' J wondered. Daniel looked at her scared pale face, and while touching her long hair, he said, "They said that you are not behaving too well." ... "I am a good girl. I always behave well. You''ll never see another woman behaving as well as I do. Don''t you think so?" J protested. Daniel now realized howposed could J be when telling a lie. He then opened the thermos sk and poured out some more soup into the bowl. The soup had already cooled down. He dragged over a chair to her bedside, and then put a spoon of soup to her lips. "Open your mouth, " he said. But J justid back in the bed and dragged the quilt over her with her hand, and hid herself in it again. ''Hum! Did he think that if he came here I''ll just listen to him? No way! I won''t drink a sip more of the evil man''s soup!'' J thought. Daniel put down the soup and then pulled her quilt away and said in a cool low voice, "What? You didn''t want to see me here?" He talked with a cool and serene voice, and J didn''t know what his real emotions really were. But she still nodded her head. She hated Daniel that he had acted so maliciously towards Brian. "Why?" asked Daniel. ''Is it because of that night?'' Daniel wondered. "Because you hurt Brian on that day! Why did you do that?" J didn''t try to hide her suspicions and instead interrogated him straight. Daniel instantly frowned upon hearing her inquiring words. ''Why did I hurt Brian?'' "J, am I such a despicable man in your eyes?" asked Daniel in a now more colder voice as he put his hands inside his pockets. Daniel peacefully stared at her. ''Despicable man?'' In fact, she didn''t consider him like that at all. But she still said, "You''ve stolen my most precious thing, and even wanted to hurt Brian. That makes no difference between you and a despicable man!" The woman''s words made Daniel feel even more heart-broken. He didn''t try toe up with any exnations, and instead just took the bowl and forced J to drink it up. Then he stood up from the chair, and said, "Have a good rest. Since you don''t like me, I won''t be Then he turned around and left the room. J looked at his back and felt distressed out of her control. ''I won''t being to see you anymore... ''Shouldn''t I be happy? Why am I feeling so painful? So heart-broken? For what? He acted so viciously and is not deserving of any of my love!'' J thought. In the hospital''s parking lot, Daniel sat in the car alone, looking at the patient''s room up on the eighth floor while slowly smoking his cigarette. He smoked one after the other, and when he reached the fifth one, he saw Svene out of the hospital''s in-patient department. "Sven!" Daniel called. Sven was whistling a tune when he heard someone call out his name and, almost in an instant, he felt so startled that he almost jumped out of his shoes. ''It''s so dark outside, who is that guy? And the figure seems to be flickering!'' Sven thought. "It''s me." Daniel''s cold voice rxed him. Sven, while he walked towards him, was ying with his car keys in his hand. "Daniel, haven''t you left yet? Why are you still here?" Sven asked. When he had returned to J''s room earlier, Daniel was already gone. He only saw J lying on the bed, wearing a nk look on her face. Chapter 80 Indulging in the Company of Other Women Chapter 80 Indulging in the Company of Other Women Sven, by chance, nced at the cigarette butts lying on the ground, and could also not help asking, "Daniel, why did you smoke so much?" Daniel then put out the cigarette butt, and said, "Let''s go." ... Daniel seemed to be waiting for Sven, but they weren''t heading in the same direction. "Daniel." Sven knocked on Daniel''s car window. The the driver''s window was then rolled down. "What happened between Jane and you?" carefully asked Sven. When he returned to the ward earlier, he saw that J was very quiet, and was looking much more different than before. "Don''t worry. From now on, I''ll have nothing to do with her anymore, " said Daniel. Sven saw clearly that Daniel spoke with an ironic smile on his face. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Daniel, Jane is still a girl, after all. If you want to be in a rtionship with her, you must learn how to tolerate her, " said Sven. He didn''t know what had really happened between Jane and Daniel, but he would support them all the way if they got together. As for Kate, Daniel had never mentioned her in front of him, so perhaps he was just using her as a pretext on some other asions. Tolerance? Daniel, with his hands behind his head, began to lean back in the driver''s seat. He then kept silent for about two minutes. "Come on. Let''s go for a drink!" he suddenly said. Sven, when he saw Daniel winking at him, then got in the front passenger''s seat. Sven in fact just really wanted to go home and sleep, but when he saw Daniel looking so morose, he decided to stay with him. In the bar Although it was almost two o''clock in the morning, the music in the bar was still deafening, and there were more and more customersing and going. When he saw that Daniel entered the bar, the manager, with a keen eye, immediately walked up to him. "Boss Si and Mr. Si, wee to our bar!" He then arranged for a private room for Daniel right away and sent the most beautiful barmaids they had in the bar to serve them. Inside the luxurious private room, the barmaids looked energetic. With a smile on their face, they got close to the two men. One of them asked, "Boss Si, Mr. Si, what would you like to drink?" Daniel, who didn''t even look at her, replied, "Whisky." When Sven heard what he had ordered, he was so surprised with the reply that he felt his stomach jolt a little. "I''ll have a red wine, please, " he said. He then also asked the barmaid beside him to hire a driver in advance for Daniel. The barmaid then quickly came back with the whisky. Sven wanted her to stay there to keep Daniel He finally asked the barmaids to leave the room, and now they were left alone in it. Daniel gulped the ss of whisky in one go. But he didn''t feel a thing. Sven, who saw this, was astonished and could feel his own stomach ach. After he gulped three sses of whisky, Daniel finally became lethargic and leaned back onto the sofa. "Daniel, if you continue to drink like this, we''ll definitely be sending you to the hospital tomorrow. Aren''t you at all concerned about that?" asked Sven. Uttering these words, he selected and yed a piece of light music to make Daniel feel more rxed. "I don''t care. Whatever..." Daniel was indifferent. In fact, he had been taken drunk to the hospital several times. Sven was so disappointed in him, and after Daniel gulped the fourth ss of whisky, he began to consider whether he should call Jane or not. When he saw Daniel drinking his fifth ss, Sven pressed Daniel''s hand, and said, "Daniel, that''s enough. If you keep on drinking like this, I''ll end up taking you to the hospital." "I''ve already told you I don''t care, " said Daniel. After gulping five sses of whisky, Daniel began to feel a little drunk. Sven was even more perplexed, and when he saw that Daniel was just about to drink the sixth ss, he said, "Daniel, if you still continue to drink like that, I''ll call Jane!" But, to his surprise, Daniel just sneered at his words. Daniel drank the ss and threw it against the wall, saying, "You don''t need to call her. No matter how I am, she won''t care about me at all." She didn''t feel the slightest pity for him! But why did he still insist on pursuing her? If he wanted to, he could get a lot of women. But why did he only want J? He wanted J to know that there still were a lot of women out there who were attracted to him! "Ask the two women who served us earlier toe here!" said Daniel who bent over, with his face in his hands. Sven was stunned when he heard him, and said, "Daniel, I won''t ask them toe. Even if you don''t get along that well with Jane, you also have to worry about your own image. If some rumors about your affair with these women would ever spread tomorrow..." "They wouldn''t dare do that! If so, I won''t let them off!" Daniel shouted and again filled his ss with whisky. Sven fell speechless with despair and then he asked the two women, who were standing at the door, to "Come on in. Boss Si is in bad mood, please go and apany him, " said Sven. He took out his wallet and gave the two women arge sum of cash. The two women, who looked very happy, each sat at one of Daniel''s sides. "Boss Si, we''ll make you feel better..." said one of the women. Her seductive and childish voice disgusted Sven. Daniel closed his eyes and then held both of them in his arms. ''J, you are just an ungrateful woman who never said anything to please me! Even these two here are more obedient than you!'' thought Daniel. When he saw what was happening, Sven thought that it was necessary to tell Jane about it, so he carefully made a video call with J. J, who was in the hospital, tossed and turned in her bed, trying to sleep. Suddenly, she received Sven''s video call and then curiously answered it. When she saw what was happening on the other end of the video call, J almost jumped out of bed! "Daniel Si! You bastard! How dare you..." shouted J crossly. Everyone in the bar''s private room clearly heard J''s angry voice! Oh no! Sven had forgot to adjust the phone''s volume. Daniel suddenly opened his eyes and coldly stared at Sven, who was trying his best to turn down the volume. But then, Sven''s video call was suddenly terminated. The next minute, Daniel''s phone rang. The woman sitting beside him helped him take out the phone from his pocket, saying, "Boss Si, someone called Jane is calling you!" "Get out of here!" shouted Daniel. As he grabbed the phone from her hand, he cast a cold nce at her. The woman was shocked by his stare and immediately got out of the private room. The other woman was too scared to even move. After he slid the answer button, he heard J scolding at him in a harsh tone, "Daniel Si, while I''m injured and suffering in the hospital, you just go out in bars and hook up with other women to pursue your dirty pleasures! You are just indulging in thepany of other women! Do you even feel a little bit guilty for your actions?" "Daniel Si, you are such a bastard! From now on, don''t appear in front of me anymore! I don''t know you! I don''t know you, remember! You''re a despicable man!" added J. Immediately after he answered the phone, Daniel began to fix his cold eyes on Sven, who had let J know what was happening in the private room. Sven, holding his head in his hands, wondered why he had been so impetuous and did such a stupid thing. After J roared at him for quite while longer, Daniel just coolly replied to her, "Do I have anything to do with you?" ... When she heard these words, J, who was on the other end of the line, felt all of a sudden depressed and very disappointed. Then the both of them just kept silent for a while longer on the phone. She realized that it seemed that she, indeed, had in reality nothing to do with him. "Sorry!" replied J. She then quickly hung up the phone and burrowed herself inside the quit. She was touching her bandaged wound, which had begun to feel painful again because of her anger and stress. She felt very aggrieved, with her eyes red, anguished. When he heard what J said on the phone, Jerry guessed what had happened. He got himself off the sofa, and while pulling J''s quilt away, he spoke out her name. "Jane!" When she heard Jerry''s gentle voice, J couldn''t help but shed a drop of tear. "Jane, you said you hate Daniel, right? Then why are you so sad?" asked Jerry. He sighed, and wondered why she liked him so much, but pretended to hate him. He, indeed, didn''t understand what she was thinking. Chapter 81 Janet Had Become Even More Morose Chapter 81 J Had Be Even More Morose J thought that Jerry was right. She wiped away her tears at once, and replied, "I''m not sad. I just felt some paining from my wounds." It was obvious that she was just making up an excuse, but Jerry didn''t debunk her lie. And after he saw Jane''s reaction, he could see that Jane was acting out jealous, but wasn''t aware of it. "Jane, you should be positive and optimistic. Don''t be sad just because of Daniel, " said Jerry. Jane was his younger sister, and he didn''t want to see Jane bing sad over any man. When she heard Jerry''s words, J seemed to be lost in thought for a little while, and then nodded, saying, "I got it, Jerry." But in fact, there were two conflicting ideas present in her mind. One was that she liked Daniel. The other was that Daniel was a despicable man and she shouldn''t like him at all! In the bar Daniel also kicked the other woman out of the private room and mmed his phone on the table in front of him. After he lit a cigarette, he called out to Sven. ... Daniel''s words all of a sudden sent a chill through Sven. "Daniel, we should leave now, " he said. Daniel, who blew thest puff of smoke out of his mouth, then put his legs on the table, and said, "Sven, mother* had asked me to introduce some girls to you. So, from now on, I will definitely try my best to look out for some girls that suitable for you." (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother) ... "No, thanks, Daniel. That was my treat tonight. I''ll tell Jane that it was my idea to ask the two women to didn''t work on Daniel at all. "Stop smiling, it''s disgusting! But you are, after all, my good friend, so I will seek out for some famous models for you, " said Daniel. He had been scolded by J, but he wasn''t depressed; he actually felt a little more better. And that was just because he had seen J angry, and that was enough for him. When he saw her getting mad, he was happy! "Famous models? I don''t want one, but you can choose one for yourself!" Sven refused him with a bitter smile, because he knew that, under these circumstances, Daniel was just pretending to look for women for him just to get back at him for what he had earlier done. Daniel then drank down hisst swallow and stood up with a cigarette in his mouth. "Sven Si, you just wait for my gift!" When he heard him, Sven screeched with exaggeration. "Daniel Si, if you dare to send me any famous models, I''ll... introduce some boyfriends to J!" Daniel, who had just walked out of the private room, stopped for a few seconds. Without looking back, he then said, "Whatever!" Well... Sven was stunned, and wondered if Daniel was actually determined to give up on J. Was he so decisive in his move? Thanks to Sven and Chuck''s brilliant medical skills, J recovered quickly and a thick scab had formed over her wound within only two days. But it was obvious that J had be even more morose. While she was peeling an apple, E nced at her daughter, who was idly browsing the inte on her phone. "Jane!" spoke E. "Um?" "What''s bothering youtely?" E understood J, who seemed to be suffering out of love. J, who was looking through at the news on Weibo, replied, "Nothing. I''m just worrying about my shop." And that was exactly right! She hadn''t arrived or worked at her shop for several days now, and had no idea how the business was goingtely. E cut the apple in half and gave one to J, saying, "You have no need to worry about it since your father is helping to run the business for you these days!" Just then, J learned on Weibo that Daniel and Kate had joined a charity donation ceremony at a welfare house. She was shocked to see Kate arm in arm with Daniel, smiling happily. She then suddenly realized that it was really stupid of her to love such a bastard! s! After that, she took a bite out of the apple with rage, and wrote ament. "9999, " it read. She thought that herment would be immediately drowned, but, to her surprise, within only a minute herment had started getting more and more likes. Shortly after, it had ranked as first among the picture''s topments. When this happened, J was speechless and felt very embarrassed... Please! She hoped that Daniel wouldn''t see it. Otherwise, he would think that she had been paying close attention to him all along! In the afternoon, J found that Daniel not only had read herment, but also had replied to it. "Thank you for your wishes, J, " thement said. ... J angrily gritted her teeth, and thought, ''How shameless could he actually be?'' She heard someone knocking at the door and then saw Brian, wearing his camouge clothing, appearing in the doorway. J immediately closed her phone cover and then looked at Brian with surprise gleaming in her eyes. "Brian!" she greeted him. Only E and J were in room. When E saw Brian, she smiled at him, and said, "Brian, here you are, atst. Do you feel better?" "Hi, Mrs. Shao. Yes, I''m feeling much better now! How about you J? Do you still feel stiff, or are you also feeling much better?" asked Brian. E took the expensive supplements Brian had brought and put them on the table. "I''m almost well and I think I can leave the hospital soon!" said J. She grew bored in the hospital, and made daily requests to be discharged from it, but everyone ignored her requests. Brian walked up to J, saying, "It will be better for you to leave the hospital after your full recovery." E held a fruit bowl to Brian, and said, "Brian, please have some fruit. It is so nice of you toe here in person. You''ve saved Jane! We should have visited and thanked you!" said E. Brian took the fruit bowl and a fruit fork, speared a piece of dragon fruit in a fork and passed it to Jane. "Mrs. Shao, you''re wee. In fact J helped us a lot, and if she didn''t jumped out the car at that time, maybe we would be locked in a standoff with the terrorists group for a lone time, " he said. Brian gave all credit to J. Eughed and began to talk about J''s shorings, without consideration for her. "Jane is not that brave, and she''s scared of dying all the time. You speak very highly of her!" "Mother! I''m not afraid of dying now, OK?" said J. J, who was eating the piece of dragon fruit, protested and was very dissatisfied. Although she was, indeed, a little scared of dying, she was still sensible, and managed to persuade herself to be brave and to face the moment. When they saw that she looked so cute when she spoke, Brian and E could not help butugh. "I should go now, I have something else I need to do. Have a good time!" said E. She could see that Brian liked Jane, so she didn''t want to disturb them and thus left. In fact, she liked Daniel better but, after all, Brian had saved Jane. E also didn''t want to think of it too much and decided to just let nature take its own course of action! After E left the ward, only J and Brian remained in the room. J said, "Brian, thank you for saving me. After I leave the hospital, I must visit you along with my mother and father to fully express my thanks to you!" Brian helped her flip her bangs, and said, "J, it was my pleasure. I''m supposed to do this, N?velDrama.Org owns this text. because... well, I''m a soldier!" When she saw his affectionate eyes, J looked away. "Um. Did you catch all of the terrorists?" she asked. "We''ve caught only three of them alive; the others were killed on the spot, " replied Brian. On that day, when he saw that J had jumped out of the car, Brian had felt his heart stopped beating. When he had also seen the terrorists'' bullets hitting her, Brian had immediately covered J and had taken two bullets for her. But if Daniel hadn''te in time to save him, he would have been... "Oh! Do you know where Shirley is? The bride who was dressed in her wedding gown and who was also injured, " inquired J. Just then, Brian''s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by J''s words. J had called Shirley for many times, but she found that Shirley''s phone had been powered off all along, and so she was really worried about her. Brian thought of the wounded persons who were sent to the hospital and then shook his head. "I didn''t see her, " he said, "If you''re still worrying about her, I''ll help you find her." Chapter 82 Youre His So-called Sister Chapter 82 You''re His So-called Sister "OK. She is pregnant, so please tell me as soon as you get some news about her!" J was so worried about Shirley that she couldn''t refuse Brian''s kind heart and help. Brian nodded. "J..." he said. He wanted to speak, but then suddenly stopped on a second thought. J looked at him questionably, and asked, "What''s wrong, Brian?" "Can you give me Daniel''s phone number. I want to... say my thanks to him." If it weren''t for Daniel, he would not been standing here safely. "Yes?" J looked at him perplexed. Did he want to say thanks to Daniel? "Why?" "When I was about to save you, Daniel also saved my life!" Though he was unwilling to confirm it, he knew that the real reason why Daniel helped him was that he really wanted him to protect J. But in any case, Daniel had saved him. At that moment J felt really sorry for Brian because he had mistaken his enemy as his savior. "Brian, is it really necessary? Do you know..." But J couldn''t tell him the truth. Brian simply gazed at her. J took a deep breath, and tried her best to say, "Daniel wanted... to kill you." She couldn''t stand the bad guy running away from the criminals! Yes! That was it! "J, I think you''ve mistaken..." "Ah?" It was J''s turn to be doubtful. "Daniel didn''t want to kill me. He turned up, and saved me from the terrorists with his two shots." One of the two bullets was aimed at Brian''s head. J couldn''t believe it. Daniel didn''t want to kill Brian after all... The two bulletsunched at him were to save him... She was now surprised, perplexed, guilty, and excited... All of these emotions suddenly came flooding into J. She remembered the night when she had unjustly used Daniel, and realized why he was so disappointed. She could feel his disappointment now, but she forced herself to ignore it. Brian could now understand J''splex facial expressions. "Remember J, I''ll always be with you." Brian then kissed her and left. ''J, be brave and go and chase for your true love. It''s OK if you fail, I''ll bet there. I''ll be waiting for you forever...'' thought Brian as he stepped out of the room. J''s head was filled with apologies to Daniel; she had to forget about Brian''s strange behavior. She tried to be brave and called Daniel. But he rejected the call... J then also felt really disappointed. She had to guess that Daniel, as the mean person who he was, would not forgive her so easily. At the SL Group Kate quickly deleted the caller''s ID and then put Daniel''s phone back in the same ce. After that, she kept reading the documents she was handling. A little whileter, Daniel came out of the bathroom. The two continued talking about their usual business. On the other hand, after about a month of daily protests, J finally came out from the hospital. ''I was feeling fine weeks ago. But why didn''t they allow me to leave hospital sooner? I''m so happy to see the outside world!'' thought J. Wearing a white, long jacket, J happily stood at the hospital''s doors. She hopped to climb down the stairs and was ready to get in her father''s car and go home. But, a couple of figures suddenly attracted every bit of her attention. A man, wearing a ck woolen coat, held a woman from the rear seat of a ck Lamborghini car. He was hastily walking towards the outpatient department, and J saw that in Daniel''s arms was Kate, who was apparently hurting. Daniel noticed her, but he just greeted Samuel, who was unhappy to see him. "Sworn father!" he said. Seeing Daniel, E, who was sitting in the car, got out of it, and asked, "Daniel, What''s wrong with her?" "I don''t know, they need to ce a diagnostic first. That''s where I''m taking her!" After greeting to the two elders, Daniel then went towards the outpatient department. J seemed to be invisible. J was about to go and beat the woman in the hospital! She was determined to go back herself if it ever were the case. "Jane,e back. What are you gonna do?" Samuel understood what his daughter was about to do when he saw her clenched fist. But then he hurriedly hold her arms and stopped her. "Dad, let me go! I''ll go and beat her up! I''ll beat her up to the extent that Daniel won''t even recognize her anymore!" ''Hhh, how dare you rob me of my man. I, J will give you something to chew on!'' Samuel looked at her and really felt helpless; his daughter was angry. "Jane, just remember that she is his girlfriend, and you''re his so-called sister." ... Immediately, J stopped feeling angry and grew disappointed instead. "Jane,e back in the car, " said E. E patted on the empty seat beside her and let her daughter sit on it. J eventually sat. "Jane, I had a talk with your sworn mother and we concluded that Daniel loves you. We also doubted why Kate had be his girlfriend." E held Jane''s hand and began to talk with her about her rtionship with Daniel. "Does he really love me? If so, why did he reject my call and rather be Kate''s boyfriend?" J was angry! ''I''m not that foolish!'' she thought. "Don''t be such a mean girl!" Then E gave her daughter a powerful look. "If you think that he really doesn''t love you, then never contact him again!" ''My daughter is so perfect that many men would be eager to be her boyfriend. There''s no need to get stuck on only Daniel.'' Hearing that mother wouldn''t allow her to contact Daniel anymore, J felt a little morose. "Mom, didn''t you want me to be with him? You''re now telling me to stop contacting him. Don''t you think you''re contradicting yourself a bit?" E felt speechless when she heard her daughter''s words. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Samuel turned around the car when it was a red light. He then told J earnestly, "Jane, why can''t you understand your mother for once? That was only if you liked Daniel; that''s why she tried to make you a couple. But now, this seems impossible. Your mother advised you not to contact him so you won''t feel hurt anymore." "I see, dad." J held E''s arm and then leaned on her shoulder. "Jane, I believe that you''re a good girl and, and that you''ll meet a better man to be your boyfriend. I think that Brian is cute, and he''s also saved your life. He''s not bad..." In Samuel''s eyes, his daughter was beyond perfection, wless, and with no weakness whatsoever. Brian had indeed saved Jane''s life, and he had already decided to say his personal thanks to Brian one day. "Dad, please stop it. I don''t like him that way! He''s like a brother to me, and I don''t want to give up on..." J clearly know who she loved. Chapter 83 Never Stepping a Foot in the Kitchen Chapter 83 Never Stepping a Foot in the Kitchen Although J hadn''t spoken out his name, Samuel and his wife somehow knew who she was talking about. "Jane, if you love him so much then just go and get him. But don''t be as stupid as I was when I was young, I loved your dad a lot, and grabbing the opportunity when he was drunk, I entered his room and made him furious!" E recalled their story and gazed at the man with angry eyes. Samuel coughed, and said, "Sweetheart, don''t mention what we did all those years ago." He always felt he was lucky because E was dedicated. He had a happy family now. E smiled and kept instructing her daughter. "What I mean is that you can try your best to grasp Daniel. But don''t be stupid and do wrong things which aren''t in ord with your personality and status, because then he mightter look down on you." Wasn''t this stupid? Did her mother refer to what they had already done? J was shy and Daniel was proactive! But she didn''t dare tell this to her parents. She nodded tactfully, and said, "OK, dad and mom. I know what you mean now." OK. The first step she needed to do was to say sorry to Daniel. Afterwards, she would make him her Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. boyfriend. But meanwhile she had to deal with Kate. And how could she? While J was getting more and more worried, Samuel asked again "Sally said that Daniel had made a proposal, but you rejected it. Is that true?" "Yes, it was because... I was sad. So I rejected him." J didn''t dare to tell her parents the true reasons behind her rejection. E looked at her daughter quietly, and then said, "You liked him before but rejected his proposal. I think that''s why Daniel is so angry and is still with Kate!" ''But if Daniel already proposed to her that means that he could still be interested in her.'' "No, mom; he became Kate''s boyfriend first, and then proposed. He wanted to have two girlfriends at the same time. That''s why he proposed!" What kind of person was Daniel, having two girlfriends at the same time? The three of them talked about this but could reach no concluding answer. It was almost December and it was cold outside. J put a jacket on her when she got out of the car. ''It''s cold outside! Should I cook a soup for Daniel to warm him up?'' thought J. ''They say that the way to win a man''s heart is to first win his stomach.'' Her parents were very good at cooking, and so was her brother. But she... knew little about cooking. ''Is it toote to learn how to cook?'' she pondered. "Mom!" J stopped E on the staircase just before reaching the second floor. E turned around. "Teach me how to make soup!" J was so serious that E seemed to be doubtful of her. She looked at Samuel and immediately knew what she wanted to do. Samuel said "No! How could my daughter ever cook for a man!" Jane hadn''t even cooked for him! Looking at her husband, E smiled, and said, "Do you really want to learn?" "Yes, dad! I''ll cook for you when I learn!" She was already good at making all sorts desserts and cookies, and so she would also acquire cooking skills soon. Samuel gazed at his daughter, and said, "My daughter, you won''t ever need to enter the kitchen because I''ll cook for you instead!" Jane had been carefully raised by him. She would forever be his sweet little daughter who wasn''t allowed to make any sort ofpromise for any other man, ever. E looked at her husband, and said, "Samuel, shouldn''t I cook? Am I not your sweetheart?" Oops! Samuel hastily held his wife in arms, and then said, "Of course, of course you are. You''re good at cooking. I once asked you not to enter the kitchen, but you insist!" After acquiring the cooking skills, especially after his retirement, Samuel had asked his wife never to enter the kitchen again. But E had always told herself that "Happiness means to cook for her beloved man." ''Is Jane thinking the same as me now? Well, that''s good!'' E got rid of Samuel and then took Jane into the kitchen. "OK. Let me teach you how to cook now." J was happy, and she took off her jacket and instead put on an apron... There were several screaming soundsing from the kitchen then. Finally, Samuel couldn''t stand it anymore and opened the door. E stood by Samuel''s side and took many deep breaths. "What''s happened?" E shook her hand "Nevermind. I can''t understand why you daughter hasn''t inherited our cooking genes. J was about to blow out our kitchen!" In that moment, they heard a loud sound. Boom! "Oh! Something sounded like it exploded!" They two parents rushed to the kitchen to see it had turned into aplete mess! E''s porcin soup pot had exploded. But luckily for J she was safe, because she was looking for other ingredients in the refrigerator. Samuel went to put out the fire while E looked at her daughter up and down. "Jane, are you OK?" she asked. "Yes, mom. I was at the refrigerator." ... J was then cast out of the kitchen by E. From that day on she, the girl who could make a soup pot explode, was forbidden from ever entering the kitchen again. J sat miserably on the sofa while her parents cleared up the mess in the kitchen. From time to time, she could hear something like "What''s this? Why can''t it be cleaned up?" "Why are so many eggs cracked open?" "J, you''re never stepping a foot in the kitchen from now on!" "Next step is to find you an excellent cook boyfriend." "J, don''t be silly and be Daniel''s girlfriend. Your sworn mother told me he can''t cook a thing. If you ever start a family, you''re doomed to starve to death because of your poor cooking skills!" J replied "Dad, don''t worry. Even if it were so, we could hire numerous cooks." "That''s right, but that''s only because Daniel is rich enough to hire numerous cooks! Nomon man would hire cooks for you!" Samuel was mumbling while he was mopping the floor. "Dad, you said that you''ll take care of me all of your life! And now you want to leave me hanging just because I almost blew the kitchen up?" ''Father is so realistic; I''m really helpless.'' "OK, OK. I''ll take care of you! I''ve taken care of you all these years. If you ever marry a poor man, I will hire you a cook!" ... "Dad, could you wish for me something a little bit nicer?" J mumbled. ''s! How stupid I am! J, J... how can you save your love?'' she pondered. J then ran to the kitchen, like she was suddenly inspired. "Mother, could you teach how to cook a fried dish? It''s OK and you don''t need to worry about any pot bombings!" E stopped sweeping the kitchen floor for a few moments, and said, "J, I strongly suggest to cook some cookies instead. Because you know how to make cookies and desserts. If Daniel really loves you, he''ll be happy to enjoy the cookies you know how to make, not the dishes or soups that you don''t!" Chapter 84 You Really are A One Thousand Year Old Scumbag Chapter 84 You Really are A One Thousand Year Old Scumbag ''Mom''s words sound quite reasonable, '' thought J. "Dad, mom, please go ahead and mind your own. I''m going back to my cake shop now, " she said. Grabbing her car keys, J then left the mansion. ... When it was nearing dusk time, J had finally made the final touches of a delicate Tiramisu cake. Then, while joyfully looking at the dessert, she called Daniel. She could hear her heart beating faster and faster as her call was connecting. Last time when she had called him he had failed to answer. Since then, she couldn''t build up the courage to call him again. But this time... ''Oh, the call''s connected!'' J was very surprised, and said, "Daniel, when are you finishing work today?" Daniel was shocked on hearing her joyful voice. ''Didn''t she hate me? Didn''t she say that I''m a despicable man?'' wondered Daniel. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "I''m not sure yet." The man replied with a t and emotionless voice, which disappointed J, and made her feel a little bit hurt. "Then, could Ie to yourpany? Is that OK?" she asked. The word "Yes" was on Daniel''s lips, but he swallowed it back, and corrected himself. "No!" he started, "I''m very busy now!" ''Oh well!'' She sighed, and then thought, ''I just knew it.'' J sat down in the corner of her shop. "Daniel, " she said anguished, "I apologize for disturbing you. I misunderstood you thest time, I''m sorry!" ''My virginity was stolen by him, and now I have to humble myself and to apologize to him. Can this happen to someone else other than me?'' J thought. "J, I made it clear in the hospital that night that I won''t meet with you anymore!" He answered her with a harsh tone and Daniel then hung up on her. But, behind the phone, the man actually grinned a slight sly smile on his face. The girl was so depressed that she bent herself over the table and then gloomily wondered what she should do now. ''Daniel, you stone-cold man, you''re still arrogant! What should I do now?'' J pondered. Then she took out her phone and texted him on Wechat. "Daniel, I have made a Tiramisu cake just for you. What about I bring it to you?" "No! I hate eating desserts the most!" Daniel replied back after a long time after receiving her message, and also in a way that hurt her self- esteem. ''No wonder he gave my mango cake to his girlfriendst time, '' J thought. She texted him back, "Daniel, if you dare to refuse me again, I''ll go and beat your girlfriend!" She thought that she had a great deal to learn from Daniel, and now tried to threaten him as he had always done to her. But she was wrong, and Daniel was even more cruel. "If you dare to touch her, " he said "I''ll make you disappear from this world and out of anyone''s eyes!" ''I''ll imprison you in my mansion for your whole life!'' Daniel thought. J then put aside the phone morosely. ''Fine!'' she thought. ''He''d kill me for his girlfriend. Forget it! I won''t bring him the Tiramisu!'' With tears flooding her eyes and then pouring down her cheeks, J ate the cake herself. While she was eating she wondered why it was so difficult to love someone. She never couldn''t find her answer, and Daniel stayed alone in the office the whole evening... The following day Samuel and E, as well as their daughter, invited Charles and Brian to have dinner together with them in a restaurant, for thanking Brian who had saved J''s life. Then, when they were leaving the restaurant together, some reporters secretly took their photos and then posted them on the Inte. "J Shao and Brian Han, " they wrote, "may soon have an engagement! They have already met each other''s parents! The Shao family and Han family will be happily united with this marriage in the near future!" J scornfully looked at the news on the Inte and thought that the media was always inclined to make groundless reports on ount of anything! But she didn''t pay much attention to these reports, as she was already ustomed to her life being constantly reported online by the press. However, on the contrary, in his office Daniel raged when he saw all the reports about them. ''J Shao! Didn''t you want to apologize to me? Didn''t you say that you made some desserts for me? This is how you show your apology to me? Now you''re getting married with Brian? Good! If you still keep with the ambiguous rtionship with Brian, I''ll also get engaged with Kate!'' thought Daniel with berserk rage. Daniel didn''t know why he had been so severe with her, and to what extent he could actually be satisfied with her. Feeling annoyed, he threw his phone on the table and continued to smoke more of his cigarettes. On a quiet evening when J had returned from her cake shop, snowkes suddenly started floating down from the sky. She saw some car lights, and then she seemed to see Spark in the Rolls-Royce. ''Is that Daniel?'' she thought. The Rolls-Royce car then quickly drove passed her and J immediately followed it. As she expected, the Rolls-Royce parked inside the mansion''s garage, and Daniel, wearing a ck coat, got out of the car and then walked up to the mansion''s door. Then Spark turned the car around and left the Royal Mansion Neighborhood. J hastily got out of her car and then ran up to the No. 9 mansion''s door, but Daniel had closed the door behind him. She fiercely rang the doorbell, but no one came to answer it. The man was actually standing on the other side of the door, listening with a smile on his face the doorbell ringing. The man''s face toned down at the same time when the ringing sound suddenly stopped. Daniel really missed J''s stubborn character; she wouldn''t give up so easy, He put on his slippers, and when he had just climbed a stair, his phone started ringing. Daniel took out his phone and saw a Wechat message from J. "Daniel, " it read, "You''ve stolen my first time, and my second time, and now you''re treating me this horrible way. You really are a one thousand year old scumbag!" ''A scumbag? One thousands years? Does she mean that we know each other from previous lives?'' Daniel thought and tittered. Then he quickly typed a message, and replied, "You''ve also stolen my first and second times. I think we''re square!" ''Square?'' J was shocked to see thest word of his reply. ''How could we be square?'' J furiously texted back. "We''re not square at all! Open the door, now! Open the door or I will break it down!" As the man untied his neck tie, he wrote, "You can give it a try!" ... ''You, bastard!'' thought J furiously. Then, J incidentally saw that the lights in Daniel''s bedroom were turned on, and she suddenly came up with an idea. ''I failedst time, but at least I earned some experience!'' J thought. She took off her high heels, and after a deep breath, she carefully climbed up the tree and then jumped to his balcony... But it wasn''t a good idea after all. Again, she had failed in her attempt! "Help! Help!" she screamed. "Help! I''m falling!" Daniel had just managed to take off his shirt when he suddenly heard a faint voiceing from outside, and he recalled the scene that had happenedst time when J... ''Oh, shit!'' He quickly strode towards the balcony, bent his head down and, as expected, the stupid girl was gripping the edge of the balcony just the same asst time, with her body swaying in the air! Daniel was worried and anxious, and he stretched out his arms and pulled her back up to safety. J sat on the balcony''s floor, paralyzed with fear and gulping for air. She had been scared to death. "J, can you just stop for once trying to get yourself killed?" asked Daniel. She was always doing something silly or dangerous! When she turned around and she saw his naked upper body in such cold weather, she wondered, ''Isn''t he feeling cold?'' "Daniel, your pecs look so fit. Can I touch them?" she asked. She had touched the man''s pecs only once, and they had felt good! The man''s face darkened, and said, "Have you no shame?" ''Shame? Are you kidding me? I''ve already given myself up to you twice!'' J thought. She stood up and then went into his bedroom. "It''s so cold outside!" she said. He then saw the woman slip into his bed and then covering herself with the quilt. Chapter 85 You are Really Good at Making Trouble out of Nothing Now Chapter 85 You are Really Good at Making Trouble out of Nothing Now "Damn it, get up!" demanded Daniel. He then went to the bed and dragged the quilt off her. However, J tightly held on to a pillow and grovelled on the bed. "No, you owe me an apology!" she said. ''Owe her an apology?'' Daniel looked at J as if she were some kind of idiot, and said, "J, you''re crazy! You want me to apologize?" "Yes, you have to apologize because you freaked me out when I was climbing the balcony just now!" She gave him the cheek and stayed in his bed. It hadn''t been easy for her to get inside the mansion, and now she couldn''t leave so easily! Daniel couldn''t helpughing. "J, I haven''t seen you for days. You''re really good at making trouble N?velDrama.Org owns this text. out of nothing now!" She suddenly sat up and then excitedly looked at him. "You feel the same way, right? You''ve been ignoring me for more than a month. My heart hurts!" ... ''What the hell is she talking about?'' wondered Daniel. He frowned upon her. "J, you''re getting engaged to Brian. Why are you still here? Do you want to be like me, but only with two boyfriends instead?" asked Daniel. He then slowly put on his night-robe. J now lied on his bed again, and said, "Yes, is that OK with you?" ''If you don''t break up with Kate, I won''t tell you the truth between Brian and me. I''m going to piss you off! As long as you still care about me...'' thought J. She didn''t know that Daniel was fuming now. "Sadly, you are not my piece of cake. Get out now!" Daniel said. When she heard this, J got mad. She jumped up from the bed, and while she looked at him, said, "Daniel, Do you think I''m a balloon? Do you think that I''m so easily disposable?" Daniel fixed his gaze on her when he heard the word balloon. With a sneer on his face, he then said, "Yes, you clearly know yourself well enough!" J didn''t believe in his nonsense. She tried to open her mouth and utter some words, but she soon became so angry that nothing actually came out. On impulse, she unzipped her coat and threw it aside on the bed. Daniel was now aware of what she was going to do next. He then hastily said, "J, even if you''re naked, I still won''t look at you." J paused when she was just about to take off her dress. ''You are a jerk. Don''t you know that your harsh words hurt me?'' ''I don''t believe what you''re saying. You acted like an animal when we had sex before...'' she thought. The heating in the room had kept J safe from shivering from the cold. When she took off herst piece of clothing, she threw herself on him. Daniel was startled a little bit by the bump. He stretched out his arms and held her tightly... "Daniel..." She sensually whispered to his ear as he used to do with her. On hearing her voice he stiffened in an instant! He then harshly threw her on the bed. Without even looking at her, he warned her, "J, I am going to take a bath now. If you''re still here when Ie out, I''ll throw you out naked!" He then ran away to the bathroom, mming the door behind him and turning on the cold water. Back in the bedroom J, feeling embarrassed and injured, was staring at the bathroom''s door. ''Gosh! This is so embarrassing! I came here like a clown and ended up being humiliated. And now I have to get dressed and walk away in this disgrace. I''m so ashamed... Damn you, Daniel! How can you ignore me like this! You just wait and see! I will have you focus on me, eventually!'' ''We''ll see!'' J thought. About twenty minutester Daniel walked out of the bathroom. He felt relieved when he noticed that the bedroom was empty. But so was his heart, somehow. Although she had apologized to him for not trusting him, he still felt ufortable... She probably woulde back tomorrow evening. At the thought of this, a sly smile came on Daniel''s face. He was going to mess around with her until he was happy with her! Feeling stifled, J went back to her mansion. She had left her shoes under the tree at Denial''s mansion, and so she had to sneak back into her bedroom. Before going to bed, she received a message from Brian, which read: "We''ve found Shirley. She is in Xiaxi Vige now, but she had a miscarriage. Now she is recuperating!" A miscarriage? "How did it happen?" J hastily asked. Brian told her about everything he knew. After things in the Xiaxi Vige had calmed down, Walter had taken back his betrothal gifts and broken off the engagement he had with Shirley. What had happened on the wedding day had disappointed Shirley. She did not want to marry him any more, and so she secretly had an abortion. When Walter found out about it, he was so angry that he beat her up and left with all the betrothal gifts. As J was reading Brian''s messages, the first thing that came to her mind was ''Damn you Walter! I''ll go to Shenqing City and find you, and then I ''ll beat the shit out of you!'' "Thanks, Brian. Sorry to trouble you!" she texted. She swallowed her anger for the moment and thanked him. "J, you are wee. Have a good night!" "Goodnight, Brian!" she replied. J tossed in bed thinking about what had happened to Shirley for the whole night. Unable to fall asleep, she posted something on her Moments. It read, "Walter, you will pay for it. I will beat the shit out of you tomorrow!" She then added an angry picture under the post and then locked her phone. Early in the next morning, J received a voice message from Brian on WeChat. "J, don''t be silly. Although the Xiaxi Vige is safe now, you will be in Walter''s territory if you go to Shenqing City. Calm down." J had been awake because of him all night. How could she let Walter off so easily! She texted him back, "I get it. Brian." She then checked thements on her Moments. Sven hadmented, "Jane, whoever it is that makes you angry, I''ll help you beat the shit out of him as well." Jerry hadmented, "Jane, what happened? Call me back tomorrow." Sallymented, "Calm down. I''lle with you and beat him to a pulp!" Some of her college friends had alsomented on the post and had asked what had happened to her. J didn''t reply to any of thosements. She quickly washed up and then walked out of her bedroom. Thest incident had killed three of her personal bodyguards. Samuel and the insurancepany had made a nice mourningpensation for their families. However, it would never be enough to soothe the families who had lost their loved ones. Therefore, J had refused to carry bodyguards after her ever since. When she arrived downstairs, Samuel had already prepared her breakfast. When he saw her, Samuel said, "Jane,e and have some breakfast." J was not in the mood to eat at first. But, on a second thought, she needed food to keep her physical strength up for the uing fight. She sat down and then quickly had her breakfast. During their breakfast, Samuel answered a phone call. "Hello, Jerry..." Chapter 86 Someone Has Bullied My Daughter Chapter 86 Someone Has Bullied My Daughter While he was listening to Jerry, who was speaking on the other side of the line, Samuel kept close eyes on J. ''Oh no! Jerry has told father that I will go to Shenqing City?'' wondered J. She patted her forehead, and regretted being so impulsive to post something like that on WeChat Moments! When she was just about to secretly take out her phone and delete the post, she heard Samuel speak on the phone, "I see." After he hung up on Jerry, he immediately checked Jane''s WeChat Moments. J was so nervous that her hand trembled and couldn''t do things so quick, so before she had the chance to delete the post on her Moments, Samuel had already read it. "Jane, have you finished eating your breakfast? I''d like to have a talk with you after!" said Samuel. He sat opposite J, seeming to have a heart-to-heart kind of talk with her. "Father! You don''t have to say anything, because I''ve already made up my mind!" She confronted her father without fearing that he already knew her n. After all, he couldn''t stop her! "I know what are you going to do and I can help you handle it, so you don''t have to do it in person!" said Samuel. He knew that if he had to talk and settle with Jane, he had to say something attractive to please her first. J was surprised to hear him saying that. Looking at him, she said, "Father, aren''t you angry?" When he heard his daughter, Samuel smiled but then immediately pulled a long face. "Of course, I''m angry. Someone has bullied my daughter, so I won''t let him off so easily. I must teach him a lesson!" he said. "No, you''ve misunderstood me. He didn''t bully me; he bullied my good friend!" J immediately exined what happened. Samuel, when he heard this, seemed to ease up a bit, and asked, "Why did he bully your good friend?" J told Samuel what had happened in more detail, and she also added, "Father, you can''t stop me, because I''ve already decided to go to Shenqing City right away!" Samuel shook his head, and said, "My silly little girl, Shenqing City is a territory under the county magistrate''s control, so if you go there to teach his son a lesson, you''ll get yourself into lots of trouble!" ''That''s right! Father''s words do seem to make sense!'' thought J. "You don'' have to go there in person, and I''ll hire someone else to help you tech him a lesson! I promise he''ll be beat up rally good!" added Samuel. He believed that it was better for J not to deal with such things in person, avoiding any trouble whatsoever! Jane didn''t want to have any bodyguards, and if Walter ever got back at Jane, it would be impossible for her to defend herself effectively. It was J''s turn to shake her head. "Father, I won''t work off my anger if I don''t beat him presonally!" Samuel then thought about it for a while longer, and said, "I have another good idea. I''ll hire some people to take him downtown, and then you can teach him a lesson to remember! That way, he''ll never know who hits him! And so he''ll keep his grievances to himself!" ''I see!'' realized J. ''That''s also a good n!'' she thought. "Father, I''ll first go to my shop, and if you bring Walter downtown, please call me!" she said. Samuel stood up beside the table and waved at her. "Be careful on your way. Ande back early in the evening!" he said. J, who thought only about Daniel and Shirley''s revenge, was absent-minded the whole day. Finally, she stopped making her desserts and just sat in the shop, lost in thought. When it was dusk, Samuel texted J. "Jane, Walter arrived. When can youe to the backyard of SOHO Bar?" "OK, I''ming right now!" She said her goodbyes for the day to the staff and then drove to the SH Bar. In the SL Group Spark, who was answering a call, told Daniel, "Miss Shao worked at the shop in the morning and left it just now, but she isn''t driving to her house." "I see. Please keep following her and see where she is heading." Daniel was dealing with his documents in his office, and didn''t even raise his head out of them when he talked with Spark. "OK, Mr. Si." At the backyard of SOHO Bar When J arrived at a small room there, she saw a man with a sack on his face. "You''d better let me go now!" he shouted, "Otherwise, my father will kill you!" J sneered and then kicked Walter''s face hard. "Ouch! Who are you? How dare you kick me!" screeched Walter. He wanted to cover his face with his hands, but his hands were tied behind his back; he had to endure the pain. "It''s me!" said J. She then took off the sack off of his head before one of the bodyguard besides her had a chance to stop her. Mr. Shao had personally asked them not to let Walter see Miss Shao. But they had failed! A bodyguard then took out his phone from his pocket and immediately called Samuel. "Did she take it off? And did Walter see her?" asked Samuel. He was taking care of John at this time. When he heard the bodyguard''s words, he put John on his leg and then concentrated on speaking over the phone. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. "Yes, Mr. Shao. We couldn''t stop her. We are very sorry..." said the bodyguard. Samuel thought about the matter for a moment, and then said, "It doesn''t matter. I know Jane''s character. Let her take the sack off!" He, of course, wasn''t afraid of Walter, but he just didn''t want to get Jane into trouble. Just in case, he decided to secretly appoint several bodyguards for J''s protection. But he also had a better way to help his daughter get out of the trouble with Walter. "OK, Mr. Shao. Bye!" said the bodyguard. Just after he ended the call, Samuel called the municipal party secretary... Walter was surprised to see J there, and then understood why J had done this to him! "Why do you... meddle in others'' affairs?" asked Walter. When J heard him speaking, she became even more furious. She grabbed Walter by the cor, lifted him from the ground, and again kicked him. "Bastard!" she shouted, "Right! I''m meddling! I''m going to beat you to death!" Walter kept screeching while J, indeed, was beating him up. Later, when J felt her hands were growing tired, she asked two bodyguards to continue beating Walter. "I was wrong. I know I did something wrong." Walter kept begging for mercy. "Wrong? You have to apologize to Shirley, and send her monthly supplies as well. You also can''t cause her family any trouble; if I hear that anything bad has happened to them, I''ll beat you to death in an instant. Do you understand?" said J. She stared at Walter with rage burning in her eyes. Walter nodded again and again, seeming to be very obedient. "Fine, fine, I see. I will take care of Shirley after Ie back, " he said. This time, he sounded OK! J, again, said to him, "From now on, you''ll be responsible for Shirley''s safety and that of her entire family. If something bad ever happens to any one of them, I''ll tie you up and bring you back here. And then I won''t just simply beat you up!" "OK, I''ll remember your words, " said Walter. He was, indeed, scared of her. While he was sleeping in his house in the morning, a group of men dressed in ck business suits had suddenly stormed inside his house, tied him, and brought him here. He probably had figured out by now that J wasing from a strong family background, so he just epted the fact and obeyed her words. "Send him back now!" said J. She then beat the dust from her hands and left. Soon after J left, Walter carefully asked a bodyguard about J''s identity. The bodyguard replied, "She''s the one who can do anything she likes in C Country!" After he heard these words, Walter didn''t dare to ask something else! He was then taken back to Shenqing City with his head still covered with the sack. The county magistrate, who had just received the municipal party secretary''s phone call, was now walking back and forth inside his house, very upset. He knew that his son had been taken away by some mysterious men, but he didn''t know who they really were. At midnight, Walter was thrown in front of the county magistrate''s house. When he firstid his eyes on him, the county magistrate directly kicked him. Chapter 87 If You Hate Me, Just Get Away from Me Chapter 87 If You Hate Me, Just Get Away from Me "You son of bitch!" shouted Walter''s father, "My reputation ispletely ruined because of you!" He had never expected that this event would be leaked out to his superiors, and that his son had offended someone who was beyond his ability to deal with. "Father, I''m sorry! I''m well aware of my actions now!" Walter cried out shivering, and covering his hurting face. The mayor warned his son. "You just stay at home these following couple of days and don''t go anywhere. If you ever dare to wrong anyone again, my position will be forever lost!" "I know, father. From now on, I''ll be sure to behave myself!" Walter now definitely believed that J Shao really had a strong background if she was indeed able to deprive his father of his official position. Since then, Walter always went and prowled around the Zheng''s house for no particr reason. If the Zheng family had any trouble, he was also in trouble. When Shirley found out about what had happened, she knew that this all because of J. She was deeply moved by what J had done, and she had made up her mind that she would look for a job in the city nearer her, after she was fully recovered. In a private apartment Kate Song was busy working when her phone rang. "Hello, Daniel, " she cheerfully answered. Kate''s eyes then suddenly brightened up, and said, "Fine, I''ming right now." After she hung up the phone, Kate''s smile abruptly stopped when she suddenly thought of something. There was only one particr reason that Daniel would ask her toe to his mansion at such ate time in the evening. ''J Shao!'' She took a deep breath, and thought, ''J Shao, I must try every mean to root you out from this world!'' Then she opened her wardrobe, and took out of it one of her most expensive ck woolen overcoats. She was wearing a simple sweater but now had it changed to a silk sun-top... Sitting in front of her dresser, she put on her makeup and sprayed herself with the most expensive perfume. Then, putting on her high heels, she drove to mansion No.9 in the Royal Mansion Neighborhood. She rang the doorbell, and Daniel, wrapped in his bathrobe, came to open the door for her. If she didn''t know the real reason of hering there, Kate would''ve absolutely indulged herself in some of her illusions towards Daniel. Closing the mansion''s door, Daniel went upstairs."You should know why you are here now, right?" he asked. Kate bit her lower lip and didn''t utter a single word. After she followed him to his bedroom on the second floor, Daniel opened a bottle of red wine and then filled two sses. "Daniel..." When Kate took her ss of wine, she heard a strange sounding from the balcony. She then saw Daniel grinning a big smile on his face... Then, after a while longer, the voice from outside made Kate understand what was actually happening. "Daniel, I''m going to jump now! Look..." J''s joyful voice then suddenly vanished as she saw the two people kissing each other in the bedroom. But Daniel was not actually kissing Kate, he had just pretended to kiss her, and from J''s angle it N?velDrama.Org owns this text. seemed like they really were. Then, ignoring J, Daniel put the sses back in the wine shelf and then carried Kate to bed... As he pressed her under him on his spacious bed, Kate''s coat became loose on her, exposing the sun- top underneath. The woman hanging in the balcony was shocked to see the sharine scene, and instantly her mind went nk. Gripping her clothes, she felt so heart-broken by what she had seen that tears started to flow down on her cheeks. She saw clearly that the man''s kiss had fallen on the woman''s neck. "Daniel..." The woman''s aroused voice nearly made Je to a breakdown point, and so she opened the bedroom''s door and rushed out. No sooner had J left the bedroom than Daniel stood up from Kate. But he didn''t know that J had suddenly stopped at the mansion''s door, just before she was about to rush out of it. ''How can I let him hold another woman in his arms after he has already taken away my most precious thing?'' she thought. Gripping her fists tight, J then went into Daniel''s kitchen instead. In the bedroom, Daniel drank all of his red wine in one single gulp. He thought at first that J would be, indeed, even more furious with him and have more revenge ns, but at least she had run away. ''Hum! I am looking down upon you this time!'' Daniel thought. Kate sat up on the bed and tidied up her clothes. "Daniel, is this fair for me?" asked Kate. She was smoothing out her hair with her fingers, and was just about to give up everything to capture Daniel. "Fair?" The man returned an icy-cold sly smile to her, and said, "Kate, didn''t you do all of this of your own free will?" His words dumbfounded Kate. Daniel had warned and told her that he didn''t love her at all, a long time before. And it was of her own free will to keep approaching Daniel. Then, suddenly there were heard footstepsing from outside, and Daniel was so surprised that he rapidly pressed down Kate under his body. Again, he rudely took off her coat a little bit more, letting his palms directly rest on her waist. Then, the bedroom''s door was open. "Daniel and Kate, " started J, "would you wish you have your golden baby as soon as possible?" ''Golden baby? What''s that?'' Daniel thought. He and Kate exchanged short nces and then turned around to look towards J, but... "Ah!" Kate screamed while a basin of cold water was being poured down on their bodies, from head to toe... "How are you feeling now? Nice and cool, right?" J randomly threw away the basin and then walked a few more steps towards them, ignoring Daniel''s darkened face. "I was just so kind to help you put out your hot fire! Don''t be so moved about it!" said J. She crossed her arms before her chest and joyfully looked at the bewildered man and woman sitting on the bed. Beads of water were dropping down from Daniel''s hair as he slowly stood up from the bed. Kate dragged the quilt to wrap herself in it because she was cold and shivering. "J... Shao.. Haven''t you... gone too far?" Kate was irritated, and she thought that this woman was ying her tricks too heavy! ''Are they really considering me a coward?'' J thought. She arrogantly walked to Kate''s side and, with her hands on her hips, she said, "Kate Song! Now, let me tell you something clear: Daniel belongs to me! He''s taken away my purity, and he now must be responsible for me. So, if you still know or remember anything about shame, please go away, now!" When she heard her, Kate was utterly shocked, and then looked towards Daniel. Daniel then dragged J and threw her out of the bedroom. "J, who ever allowed you to challenge my girlfriend?" J got free of his hands, and said, "I allowed myself to do that! You bad and evil man! Ah! I hate you!" ''Why did I fall in love with such a bad man? Please, who can tell me why?'' J pondered. "If you hate me, just get away from me!" There was a rage burning in the look of his eyes, and beads of water were still dropping down from his hair. Then, in an instant, J burst into tears and threw herself into Daniel''s arms. "Daniel, I knew that I misunderstood you; I''m apologizing to you! Why is it so hard to forgive me?" J was choking with sobs. And as he heard J''s soft words, his heart also softened. "Get out of my way, I need to take a shower!" Daniel dragged her aside with a disliking face. But the woman kept holding his waist like she had some adhesive glue on her palms, and then protested in her spoiled manner. "No, Daniel! Please ask her to go away. I don''t want to see her here!" Daniel unconsciously softened his movements, and smoothing her long hair said, "Jane, stop kidding around!" Chapter 88 Have You Ever Thought Of My Integrity Chapter 88 Have You Ever Thought Of My Integrity The soft words were spoken out cold, and J mistook them for what they really were. "Daniel, do you really dislike me that much?" J raised her head and looked him in the eyes. The man looked at the cryingdy in his arms, but he couldn''t answer "Yes". When he was about to shake his head, J touched his lips and mumbled while cleaning them, "I don''t want you to kiss her. I don''t! Daniel, go and wash your lips!" In the end, J pushed him towards the bedroom. Inside the bedroom, Kate had seen all what happened between them. ''J, you idiot!'' she thought, ''Don''t you see that Daniel loves you?'' "Go and take a shower in the next-door room; I''ll send Spark to pick you up tomorrow!" He spoke to Kate, who was sitting on the bed shivering, before entering the bathroom. Kate gnashed her teeth, and wrapped up in the quilt, went to the next room. When she passed J, she gave her a supercilious, disdainful look. J responded to it with a cold hum. After Daniel entered the bathroom, J took all the dirty sheets and quilt away and threw them out in the balcony. Then there was nothing left on the bed. When Daniel was getting out of the bathroom, J was spraying herself with a perfume she somehow had found there. It smelled light sweet in the air, just like she did... The man hastily held the woman in his arms and then spoke in her ear. "You''ve driven away my girlfriend, " he said, "so now you''llpensate for her!" Really? She closed the perfume bottle she had in her hand and then looked at the man perplexed. Daniel cast a quick nce at the empty bed. "Go and make the bed for me!" J looked at the man even more bewildered. Make his bed? Daniel then raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hurry up! You should also apologize!" All right! Yes, after all, he was right. J rushed into the cloakroom and found the drawer with fresh N?velDrama.Org owns this text. sheets and quilts. She picked a grey sheet and quilt and tried to make the bed for him as best as she could. But the bed was so big that she couldn''t smooth both sides of it at the same time. Daniel kept looking at her for 20 minutes while he drank his wine. Thedy then wiped her sweat and up jumped to Daniel. "Look!" she said, "Aren''t I excellent? I haven''t even done this for my parents. My father wasn''t willing to let me do it!" While J was speaking, she looked at the poker-faced man intively. He gulped thest sip of his wine, held thedy''s head in hand, and poured the gulp from his mouth into hers... The smooth wine instantly sloped into her stomach and J stared into his eyes. "Heeeeee! How could you... Daniel!" Regardless of herint, the man kept sucking on her lips, carefully tasting them. His skillful kiss seemed to erase J''s mind. He used his big hands to hold her in his arms and carry her to the bed. On the other hand, responding to his actions, she mbered on his neck, and provocatively said, "Did you say you hold no emotions for me?" When he heard her words, Daniel''s face changed a little. He got closer to her and smelled her. "You have driven mydy away. Well, I''ll have to do with you." ''Hum! Have to do with me?'' J pushed him away and then gathered her clothes. "Bye, Daniel. I''m afraid I can''t be with you!" Daniel then closed his eyes tightly. As she was going leave, he caught her back bluntly and threw her on the bed again. "S..." A sound came. Her outer coat was tore by him and some of the fasteners were spreading everywhere. She looked at her torn clothes and luckily all was in its ce except for the fasteners. "Daniel, my clothes! Compensate for them!" "10 timespensated!" Daniel answered. J kept trying to leave. "Jane, did you know that a man is even more aroused when the woman is unwilling?" Daniel''s warning worked and J stopped. "Then... Daniel, please let me go. I want to go home." She remembered that there still was ady with them in the house, not that far away in the guest room. Daniel put his hand on her neck and smiled coldly. "You hurl yourself into the. You want me to let you go now? Jane, I am a man, anyway." ... Yes, she indeed had hurled herself here. How could Daniel let her go off so easily? "No, your girlfriend is here. Do you want to leave her because of me?" J raised her eyebrows and gazed at the sweating man in the room. Daniel gave a sly smile, and then gave a reply which made J crazy. "She''ll be next after you!" Shit... J raised her right leg to kick his sensitive groin. But Daniel grabbed her leg and then looked at the littledy with a serious face. "What? Do you want to let me die without even having some descendants?" "Absolutely! Fuck you. Do you think yourself as the emperor of some ancient times? To treat your bedroom turned silent again. ''So you want to let me die without bearing any descendants?'' he thought. "Jane, I''ll make you a baby tonight!" ... A sort of emotion broke out in J''s heart! Baby... Make... Him... A... Baby? "No, no, no..." J was afraid and trembled because she had never thought about this ever! "No? Why not? Do you want to have Brian''s baby?" Daniel waspletely furious by now, and looked at the littledy under him. It seemed that she would be killed if she even dared to speak a single word. ''Brian? Why is he mentioning him at this time?'' J''s head started to ache then. "Daniel, how can you mention Brian? Kate is in the vi. Do you think you are qualified to be jealous now?" And they quarreled again! But this time, Daniel quarreled less and punished her in another way. Half an hourter Someone''s cellphone was ringing in the bedroom; J felt really nervous. Gosh! Gosh! It must be her parents because it was toote. Nobody, except for her parents, would call her thiste at night. She took out her phone from the bag. Yes, it was her mother! J hinted to the man who was on her, but all was in vain at that time. Again, the cellphone rang. She decided to reject the call and sent her a message instead. But just when she was writing the text, E called again, and J identally answered it. ''Uh-oh!'' "Jane, what''s happening? Why are you still out?" E asked with concern. Chapter 89 Why Didnt You Tie Your Hair Up Chapter 89 Why Didn''t You Tie Your Hair Up J felt guilty at that moment and cleared her throat, trying not to utter any more strange sounds. "Mother, I''m in a meeting... Ah! It doesn''t matter, mother. I''m in a meeting now..." she spoke. But then she suddenly stopped speaking, because she was trying to grit her teeth. ''Daniel, you''re such a despicable man!'' she thought. "Jane, are you in a meeting? When can you get back home? Would you like your father toe and pick you up?" asked E. When she couldn''t hear J''s reply, E curiously checked the phone and found that J was still connected! J immediately shook her head, but when she realized that her mother couldn''t see her shaking her head, she dug her fingernails into Daniel''s arm and then took a deep breath. "Mother, no, thanks. I''m busy right now and the meeting will be overter!" she replied in one single breath. She then quickly hung up the phone and quickly gasped for air. "Daniel, you are such a bastard!" she shouted. J, with her arms around Daniel''s neck, furiously took one bite on his neck. ... At about 12 o''clock, midnight J, with her long hair loose, began to put on her clothes in a haste. When she nced at the button- less coat on the ground, J picked it up and wrapped it around herself. After that she grabbed her phone, which had been ringing all the time, and left Daniel''s bedroom, her legsid. It wasn''t until she got in her car, that J dared to call her father. "Father, what''s up?" "Jane, what happened to you? What took you so long to answer the phone?" asked Samuel. He had already gotten dressed and was just about to go out and look for his daughter. "I was in a meeting just now and my phone was on silent mode, but now I''ve almost safely arrive at home, " replied J. She tightly held onto the steering wheel and her heart beat faster because she had just told her father a lie. Then she looked up at the second floor of the No. 9 vi, and found that the guest room''s light was turned on and off again. And she also remembered Daniel''s words just now. ''So, does Daniel really go to Kate''s room this time...?'' thought J. She really had a rich imagination but, in fact, Kate just went to the toilet just now and then came back to the bedroom. "Hum. Just be careful on the road and call me if anything happens, " said Samuel. He then hung up the phone. ''No. This is not good!'' Samuel thought. When he learned that Janee off duty sote, he decided to have a talk with her and tell her that she didn''t have to work so hard. J then drove slowly towards her vi. After she parked her car in the garage and stayed there for a while, she then snuck into her house and went up to the second floor. When she had just opened her bedroom door, her mother and father''s bedroom door had also opened. J, who had a guilty conscience, immediately took off her coat and threw it on her bed. "Oh, mother. Why didn''t you go to bed?" she asked. Then she stroked her long hair. ''Oh no!'' The rubber band, which she used to tie her hair with, was missing! When she looked at her daughter, who was with her long hair hanging loose, E became confused, and asked her, "Why didn''t you tie your hair up?" "The... The rubber band broke... and I couldn''t find it, " replied J. She then smiled, trying to hide her guilty conscience. She then decided to do her hair and have it wavy so that it wouldn''t look unkempt, whatever she did... E somehow felt that her daughter was acting a little strange today, but she couldn''t see what was really going on with her. "Go to bed now. And also, from now on, never evere back sote, because your father hasn''t sought out the best bodyguards for you yet, " said E. Samuel had hired a team of bodyguards the "Mother, no, thanks..." spoke J. "Well, J, you don''t have the right to refuse. If youe back at home sote at night, how can we ever rest assured that you''re alright?" Samuel also came out of the bedroom and stopped her from refusing. When she saw that her mother and father were looking at her, J got angry and nodded. "OK. I see. Mother and father, good night!" she said. She then mmed her bedroom''s door. E and Samuel, who were standing outside the bedroom, looked at each other and thought that indeed J was acting very strange tonight! "We must hire some bodyguards for her! Fast!" said Samuel firmly. "Right!" This time, E had fully agreed with him. J, who was now in her bathroom, soaked herself into the bathtub, and when she saw the marks on her body, she suddenly blushed. ''s! What should I do? Why did I fall in love with a bastard? J, what should you do this time? Should I really give him up?'' thought J. But she seemed to loath giving him up. ''Or shouldn''t I give him up?'' Although she knew that he was dating two girls at the same time, she still loved him without any sorts of hesitation, and so J felt that she couldn''t give him up so easily... She pondered on this question all night; she tossed and turned in bed, but she still didn''te up with any idea. The following morning, she put the button-less coat into a shopping bag and was about to secretly throw it away. When she went downstairs, Samuel had already got the breakfast ready as usual. This time, E had also helped him prepare the breakfast, and then they took all breakfast to the table. "Jane, pleasee and have breakfast!" E, who had just put the fried egg on the table, called J to stop and have breakfast. J looked tired because she hadn''t slept wellst night. "Mother, you got up so early today, " she said. "Um, I''m going to the old house along with your father to pick up Johnter, " replied E. She then helped J pull out a chair and J put the paper bag aside. "Jane, you''ve bought a garment for your great-grandmother, right? Give it to me, I''ll deliver it to her, " said Samuel. He reminded J of it. She nodded and then went back upstairs. E, by chance, saw the paper bag, and curiously asked Samuel, "What is Jane going to do with the clothes?" Samuel sat down at the table and shook his head. ''Dose she want to have it dry-cleaned because it''s dirty?'' E became even more curious and she opened J''s paper bag. She then took out of it the coat that J had worn yesterday. "Oh? Why does the coat seem to be torn? Right, the buttons are missing..." said E. She showed it to Samuel and asked him to figure out what had really happened. Samuel, who was eating his porridge, then put down the china bowl, and looked at J''s coat. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. He had bought his daughter this coat in America and he remembered that it had, indeed, buttons when he had bought it. When he also remembered J, who looked very strangest night, Samuel curiously frowned. After they looked at each other, E and Samuel seemed to be understanding something. At that moment, J had already reached the stairs of the second floor. When Samuel winked at E, she immediately put the coat back into the bag. With their own ideas on their minds, they finished their breakfast. After J said her goodbyes to her mother and father, she carried the paper bag in her hand and left the vi. It was her father who had bought her this coat, and so she was unwilling to throw it away. She thought about it for a second and decided to take the coat to the shopping mall and add several buttons to it before going to her shop. When she had just walked out of her vi, she came across the familiar Rolls-Royce. Inside the car, Kate was sitting in the passenger''s seat. J just nced at it and then got into her own car. She already knew it. But she was still sad when she saw them, nheless. She shouldn''t throw the me on anyone, because she herself had insisted on loving him, even if she knew that Daniel already had a girlfriend. Her Benz followed the Rolls-Royce and then they drove off into different directions after they left the vi area. Inside vi No. 8 E went upstairs, took out her phone and dialed J''s shop. "Hello! Zenia, this is J''s mother speaking... Can I ask you something... Well, when did you get off workst night?" asked E. She sat beside Samuel when she spoke at the phone. Chapter 90 You are Quite Good at Making the Bed Chapter 90 You are Quite Good at Making the Bed E''s look suddenly changed, and she said, "OK, I understand. Thank you, Miss Zhang." After she hung up the phone, E looked at Samuel. "What time was it?" he asked. But he had already guessed it quite correct in his mind. "... About eight o''clock, " said E uneasily. ''My daughter''s all grown up and now she''s holding secrets from us, '' thought E. "Who''s the man? Is it Brian, or Daniel?" shouted Samuel. His face hadpletely darkened up. ... But E knew nothing, and helplessly looked at her husband. "We, as parents, are sometimes too careless. Our daughter has... And we had no idea of it, " E said. She then sighed. Samuel all of a sudden stood up from his chair, and clenching his fists tight he hammered them on the table, and said, "I have to talk with these two guys and find out who''s the boldest! Which one of them dared touch my daughter, without even ensuring her a legal status yet!" E intended to support Samuel''s idea at first, but after a second thought she thought it might be improper to do that. "Wait! We''d better go and ask Jane first! What if it''s Brian, but you ask Daniel. And what if it''s Daniel, and you ask Brian... This''ll be so shameful for both of us and J!" E stopped for a moment and persuaded Samuel to calm down and think about it. Samuel thought that his wife was right, and asked, "Do you really think that your daughter will be honest with you?" ''Right. If J really wanted to tell us, she would have already done it, '' thought E. She felt helpless. ''Jane is so stubborn and shy that she definitely won''t tell me about this sort of thing!'' "What about... we..." E then whispered some words into Samuel''s ears; Samuel nodded his head in approval. "OK, I''ll send her a messageter, " said Samuel. J was going shopping in the mall when she received a Wechat message from her father. It read, "Jane, we''re going back to the old house and staying there for some days. Please take care of yourself, ande and see us at the old house whenever you''re free." ''What? Didn''t they say that they just went back there to pick up John? Why are they staying there now?'' J wondered. "OK, I got it, dad." J quickly sent back her text and then continued shopping for clothes. When she walked up to the men''s clothes, a carefully crafted crocodile belt caught her eye. "Hello! Wee!" Soon enough, a saleswoman came up and weed her. When she saw her wearing the expensive pink overcoat, the saleswoman knew in an instant that she must be a very wealthy customer. She then anxiously presented the expensive belt to J. "Youngdy, this belt is made out of only one single piece of crocodile skin, with nine small diamonds mounted on the buckle, which is also a piece of exquisite workmanship..." ''Not only is it mounted with diamonds, but it''s also made of gold!'' J thought. She then took a look at the price. ''One, two, three... Oh, nine hundred and ny thousand dors!'' J felt a little dizzy as she saw the price. "What about the discount?" asked J. The saleswoman stopped talking and thought for a second. "Youngdy, this is the only item of this kind, and there''s no discount for it, " she said smiling. ''Well! Fine!'' "Please pack it up for me!" said J. The saleswoman grinned an enormous smile on her face, packed up the belt for her, and then guided her on how to make the payment. After she finished paying for it, J looked nkly at the package. ''The belt is not suitable for father''s style... and it isn''t neither for my brother... Sven? But I''m afraid of arousing any misunderstandings to his girlfriend!'' carefully pondered J. Actually, Sven didn''t have a girlfriend anymore these days, and he didn''t even know that he had just missed the opportunity to receive an expensive diamond-gold crocodile belt! J kept pondering, ''Dani... No, Brian! But no no no, Brian wears military uniforms everyday. It doesn''t suit him. It seems that Daniel is myst and only choice now...'' But also remembering of his girlfriend, J hesitated again. ''Ah! This is so troublesome! Forget it! I''ll leave it alone for now! I''m so annoyed now! I''m not even in the mood to go shopping anymore!'' J thought. She carried the packaged belt she had just bought out of the shopping mall and then directly returned to her cake shop. After she returned, she devoted herself to working on her desserts. In the afternoon, after J had finished thest piece of dessert, she was just about to look through some of the files on herptop. Spark suddenly showed up in her shop, and on seeing him, J''s heart began beating faster and faster. It wasn''t because she saw Spark, but because seeing Spark was also like seeing Daniel. "Miss Shao, I have got something to talk with you." Looking at J, Spark shared a smile. "Please!" said J. "Miss Shao, can you please follow me outside?" ''My boss is really putting out every effort for this woman, '' he thought. J then put herptop aside and followed Spark out of the shop. Spark opened the trunk of the Bentley he drove today, and J was shocked to see the thingsying inside it. A couple of dozens of handbags, all in various sizes, filled the whole trunk of the car. Some were even squeezed together because it wasn''t enough space left to fit them. J remembered a familiar scene that happened some time ago when a wealthy man had chased her and had also sent her a trunk full of bags and shoes. But at that time, J had despised him, and had thrown out only one single word: "Vulgar!" Then she went her way without ever turning around. But now...N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "These clothes were all collected by Mr. Si early this morning from different shopping malls, and they are all limited editions. The handbags are also limited editions, unique in the whole world. You''ll never find a duplicate of any of these in the whole world, " Spark said, "As time was limited and Mr. Si is also busy, the clothes were picked in a rush. But the handbags on the other hand are picked up by Mr. Si himself, in Mn, when he was on his business trip almost half a month ago." Looking at all the clothes and handbags, this time J didn''t feel vulgar at all, but without even knowing why. "Why did Daniel have to do all of this? What does it mean?" asked J. J''s heart was beating so fast that she tried hard to calm herself down and wondered why Daniel had given her all of these gifts... ''Oh, maybe it''s because he said that he wouldpensate tenfold for the torn clothes fromst night. But what about the handbags?'' thought J. Spark kept silent for a while; he felt embarrassed to tell her what his boss had instructed him to. And, just in case things went wrong, Spark was so smart that he first moved all the clothes and handbags to J''s car. He then gathered up all of his courage to utter his boss'' words. "Mr. Si said that you are quite good at making the bed, and... Um... your... panting... is quite good, and these are your rewards." Spark lowered down his head as he embarrassingly spoke out the words, He even tried to avoid some of the more sensitive words. He then thought helplessly, ''Oh, boss. When did you begin to be such a shameless man?'' J then felt a sudden rage rushing out of her brain. She shouted at Spark and stopped him, who was now trying to escape. "Stop! Help me deliver something to Daniel!" ''Fine! Just wait and see how I''m going to humiliate you!'' J thought. Twenty minutester With a package in his hands, and bearing a bitter face, Spark knocked at the CEO''s office door. "Come in." Daniel looked at Spark, and said, "The result?" He kept working on his papers with his pen. Then, Spark spoke with a stutter. "Mr. Si, the clothes and handbags... Miss Shao said... that she would not leave any of them undressed, and that she would dress them all." "Well. Good job then! Then you can go out now, " said Daniel. But Spark continued to stand in the office without even moving a little bit. Daniel raised his head, and while he frowned, he said, "Anything else?" Then, Spark put the package on his desk and said, "Mr. Si, please take a look first!" When Daniel opened the package and then the delicate box, he found that there was an exquisite belt inside. He was suddenly surprised and happy, but he tried to pretend to be calm, and with a look of expectation, he stared back at Spark, whose face was now beyond normal. "Mr... Mr... Mr..." Spark stammered. He could hardly utter any words. "Spark, do you want to go and work in the logistics department?" warned Daniel. The man then slightly frowned while he yed with the belt''s buckle. Chapter 91 Buy Some Tonics to Strengthen Yourself Chapter 91 Buy Some Tonics to Strengthen Yourself Spark then hastily shook his head and repeated J''s words to him, all in one breath. "Miss Shao said that your skills aren''t only justmon, they''re even... not equal to one third of her boyfriend''s ability. This belt is for you, so you can sell it and buy some tonics to... strengthen yourself." "And..." he continued, "And... she also said that if you wanted to get even with her, she would... she would... bring some Vi... a... gra to your office..." ''Is my boss really that weak? Oh, poor... How weak is he really? How long can it actually stay hard? Three seconds?'' wondered Spark. He was lost in his questions when Daniel''s facepletely darkened. He then mmed his big palm N?velDrama.Org holds this content. heavily on the desk, which startled Spark, and made him run out of the CEO''s office. That evening, Daniel had intended to visit J and let her rejudge his skills. But before Daniel''s visit, Brian went to Mansion No. 8 first. J had just put in order the clothes and handbags she had received from Daniel, when she got a call from Brian saying that he was just about to arrive. She then quickly ran downstairs to open the door for him. "Brian,e in, please!" J guided Brian to the living room, and went to pour him a ss of juice. Looking at J''s busy moves, Brian put down the things in his hands and asked, "J, am I interrupting you at thiste evening time?" He was afraid of his photos being taken by reporters, and so before he arrived at her house he had patrolled the surroundings and found that the area was clear. "No, I haven''t even gone to bed yet, " replied J. She then put the ss of juice at his side. Brian took a sip out of the ss, and then passed the packages he was holding to J, and said, "I was so busy thesest couple of days, and so I could onlye at night. These are some specialties from Shirley Zheng. She came to meet our team, and asked me to bring them to you." That was Brian''s reason foring there. "Really? Wow, I''m so happy! Do you have any other information about Shirley? How is she doing nowadays?" asked J. Shirley''s phone had been lost, and she hadn''t the time to buy a new one, so J still couldn''t contact her. Brian nodded to her. "Myrades said that she looked fine, and she said that she woulde and see you immediately after she fully recovers." J was wearing a pink nightgown, with cartoon patterns on it. Brian looked at her, and seemed to be looking at a lovely little rabbit instead. He then grinned a smile. "Really? Well, that''s good! Thank you, Brian!" she said. J opened the package from Shirley and found there were a lot of things inside. Honey, ham, rice, eggs, sausages etc. All of these were natural,ing from the vige. "You''re wee, J. So, are you busy these days?" asked Brian. He heard that the business in the cake shop was going better and better, and so he worried about her health. J was wearing a sweet smile on her face, and said, "Yeah, really busy actually. But sometimes I''m After she spoke, they bothughed. "Well, that''s good. Don''t overwork yourself too hard, " said Brian. ''J should be a girl who livesfortably at home, not one that works so hard and is always busy, '' thought Brian. "There are two jars of honey here. Brian, please help me deliver one jar to grandpa Han. Wait here for a minute. I''ll go and find something to pack it up, " said J. She then went to find a package bag, and didn''t give a chance for Brian to refuse. Even more, she packed up some of the preserved ham and sausage together as well. "Fine, then. I thank you in my grandfather''s name, " said Brian. It was already gettingte, and Brian thought he had to go because it wasn''t proper for him to stay this long. So, in less than a half an hour, Brian left the Shao''s mansion. "Brian, you''re wee. Whenever you''re free, please call me; I''ll treat you with a dinner!" said J. She then escorted Brian to his military car. Brian nodded, and he couldn''t help but grin a pleasant smile on his brown-tanned face. "J, please go in the mansion now. It''s really cold outside!" J only wore a nightgown on her, and when a gust of cold wind blew through it, J almost instantly froze. She waved goodbye to Brian, and then ran back inside the mansion. The military car finally left but, however, not that far away, a man sitting in his Rolls-Royce was now burning with rage in his eyes. From the moment he had first caught sight of the military car, half an hour had passed before Brian finally came out of J''s mansion! ''J was dressed in a nightgown, and her father and mother are not at home. Put a single woman and man together inside a room for half an hour; what could happen?'' Many thoughts and spections now came flooding into Daniel''s mind. Also, when the military car had parked in front of mansion No. 8''s gates, one bodyguard, who was observing J''s actions, had already informed Samuel of what was happening. Holding his little son in his arms, Samuel anxiously kept going about in his room, and then, after he put down his son on the bed, told E, "Tomorrow! Let''s go ask Brian tomorrow! I must make him promise to marry Jane!" E held her son and while she began to put him to sleep, said, "Fine. Brian is a good man too. As long as Jane loves him, that''s OK." E didn''t expect that it was Brian, and she kept hoping it was really Daniel. She felt quite upset, but she had to ept the fact if her daughter loved Brian and was happy with him. Samuel remembered what Daniel had saidst time over the phone, and he felt kind of ufortable saying it himself now. "Brian has a special upation, and he must guard the country all the time. But, well, it''s not that bad. At least Jane cane back and stay at home." He tried tofort his wife, and himself in the process. Then, when they began to discuss how they should contact Brian, a bodyguard then called with new information, which shocked them very much. "Mr. Shao, Daniel Si has entered the mansion, " said the bodyguard. ... ''Oh, Jane, our little child... No! That''s impossible!'' Samuel thought. He tried to stop his thoughts, and he could never believe that Jane would date two men at the same time. Jane wasn''t such a wicked girl! But now the truth became uncertain, and Samuel had to figure out who the right man was, again... At mansion No. 8 J heard the doorbell ring and thought, ''Did Brian forget something?'' Then she quickly ran downstairs again, and when she opened the door, she said, "Brian, did you forget..." But her voice suddenly stopped as she saw that the man at the door wasn''t Brian. "What? It''s not Brian. Disappointed?" asked Daniel. He looked coldly at the woman, with his hands tucked deep inside his trousers'' pockets. Then, almost in an instant, J reacted and intended to close the door, but Daniel wouldn''t let her. He managed to squeeze himself into the mansion. When he was finally in, he could feel his head hurting. ''Shit! I''ve reduced myself to squeezing inside a house!'' Daniel thought. "Daniel, why are youing inside? Get out, now!" J demanded. She of course knew that there were bodyguards outside, who watched and reported everything they saw to her father. She didn''t mind Brianing in, because she actually had nothing to do with Brian, and she wasn''t afraid of any of their reports. But for Daniel... She was afraid that her bodyguards would report him to her father! Daniel held her chin and lowered down his head to kiss her red lips. But J pushed him away, because she really didn''t dare to do this kind of things under her father''s watchful scouts. If Daniel really were her boyfriend, there would be no problem, but he was already another woman''s boyfriend... Daniel was infuriated by her refusal, and said, "What? Have you already been satisfied by Brian? You''re gonna throw me away now?" Daniel guessed that the woman''s next action was to lift up her arms... And, as expected, J did furiously lift up her arms and was just about to p his face. ''Does this man think that everyone in this world is as wicked and two-faced as him?'' thought J. But her arm was then held and stopped by him. "You really wanted to hit me?" Daniel was furiously staring at her, with her wrist gripped into his big palm. Chapter 92 Sneak Through the Window Chapter 92 Sneak Through the Window She dared to keep her other rtions ambiguous with him. He bit her red lips and then pushed her on the wall. Ouch! Ouch! J bit him in response. She bit him so hard that she tasted his blood gushing into her mouth. Daniel then ripped off her cartoon nightgown. She was wearing nothing on the inside! And that made Daniel crazy! "J, you''re dead! How dare you say I''m useless! I''ll show you how useful I really am!" He then bit hard on her porcin white neck. J patted Daniel, and said worriedly, "Stop! My father''s bodyguard is out there. You... Get out!" But the man couldn''t hear a thing. He kept kissing her all over her body. J felt that they might end up in trouble. "Daniel... I... I''ll hook up with youter. But now you need to leave..." "Are you kidding? And how will Ie back if the bodyguard is outside?" J blinked and then pointed somewhere. "You can... sneak through the window..." ... Daniel stopped and suddenly turned very serious. "No way!" ''I, Daniel, the executive CEO of the SL Group, which is an international corporation, how could I sneak through a woman''s window? If someone where to ever find out, how could I ever show myself in front of my partners?'' "It''s settled then. Leave now!" Once again the two couldn''t reach an agreement. Daniel then closed his eyes, turned around, and left. Seeing how he mmed the door, J was in doubt whether he would stille backter... ''I''m so embarrassed! We''ve settled a tryst... But judging from his reaction I think he won''te.'' Returning to her bedroom, J put aside her torn clothes, and then got into bed and fell asleep. Daniel stood serious for a while under a tree and saw the lights on the the second floor switching off. He then drew a cigarette and began to think and smoke. After that, the safeguard witnessed Daniel heading towards his No. 9 vi. He reported this to Samuel, but he still thought that was Brian! When J was just about to fall asleep, her window was carefully heard opening. And then a figure jumped into the room. J didn''t wake up until her quilt was opened. Daniel felt so lucky when he saw that the window had been, indeed, left half-opened, under the dim street light. "Mr. Si, do you feel anxious meeting your lover in secret?" J scoffed at him, and at herself. But the man was smart enough and knew what she meant, and so he bit hard on her plump red lips. "Tell me how you rolled with Brian on the bed earlier!" The man''s eyes were as dark as a famished rabid wolf. ''If Brian touched her I''ll kill him!'' J struggled with his waist and the man caught her by the hand. "Get off you bastard! Do you think everyone is like you, Boss Si, who can have two lovers at the same time and also treat them equally?" ''That mean that she hasn''t...'' A smile colored his face. So, "Let''s talk about what happened during daytime! J, I''ll prove to you whether I can or not by my deeds! I''ll make you be sincerely convinced of my skills!" "No! No! No! Mr. Si, don''t be too impulsive. I was just kidding..." She knew what he could do! But the man replied to her with a short coldugh. "Why were you so outrageous in the afternoon? Really, you suggested me to sell the belt and buy tonics?" "I was just kidding! Mr. Si, you are shrewd. Couldn''t you catch what I really meant?" She was afraid of being tortured by him all night... "No, I couldn''t. Jane, no more quibbling and messing arround!" When he finished speaking, he kissed her on her inviting red lips. His kiss was heavy with the smell of cigarette smoke and she nearly choked. J tried to gasp for a breath of air, and said, "Daniel, you tore my nightgown!" ''Maybe I could escape him by making him feel disappointed'' "I had to tore it. The clothes were too cute and made me feel guilty kissing you. He felt really bad of himself when he imagined kissing a teenage girl! "Why did you feel guilty?" She wondered. "You were looking too young!" He didn''t want to talk about it anymore. Also, he couldn''t figure out what she really wanted to do. However, ignoring her struggles, Daniel removed all of barriers quickly. The room was a total mess again. At 6 o''clock in the morning, two bodyguards were changing shifts. They then saw a figureing out from the side of the vi. They carefully stared at the man walking leisurely. Huh? He seemed to look familiar. "Isn''t that... Boss Si! But he leftst night!" The bodyguard then went to check the vi''s wall around the tree. But all the windows were closed, and he didn''t take it as being so serious. J didn''t arrive at the shop that day. Later in the afternoon, Samuel had learnt from one of the bodyguard that J had went to the hospital. He called his daughter at once. "Jane, what''s happened with you?" J who was already on her way to hospital, was a little nervous, and said, "No, don''t worry, I''m OK. I have just a little... stomachache." "Stomachache? But why are you going to Obstetrics and Gynecology?" Samuelid it out for her directly. ... J forgot that she was constantly surrounded and surveyed by the bodyguards hired by her father. "Father, stop! I''m fine and I''ll be back soon!" J then ended the call and kept on enduring the aching pain in her stomach. A doctor wearing a mouth-muffle looked at the woman, and ordered, "Don''t touch it for three days... Were you hurt by someone?" ''It looks like she has been with more than a single man... It seemed like you''ve been with several, '' the doctor thought. But, the doctor dared not speak out her mind. J smiled embarrassed, and said, "No, no. Am I alright?" ''Damn you, Daniel!'' She had paid for her words. J''s phone started ringing again when she got out of the hospital. It was E. "Well, mother, I''m feeling fine now. Don''t spy on me so closely, I''m old enough to take care of myself, " said J helplessly. She wasn''t a child anymore, indeed. E answered her stern. "J! Call Brian and invite him for dinner tonight!" ''What... Why is mother angry? And... Why call Brian?'' thought J. "Why do I have to call Brian and invite him to dinner?" She then kicked the small stones near the car. She kicked a big one far away, but hurt her leg. "Ouch..." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. She was just about to cry because of the pain. "That''s none of your business. Just invite him to our old house tonight!" Just when J then left the hospital, Samuel got in touch with the doctor that had just seen her using his connections. Chapter 93 She Was Screwed Chapter 93 She Was Screwed Fortunately, E spoke with Jane''s physician. But when she heard that her daughter had actually went to the hospital to change her medicine, E suddenly copsed! ''I''ve spoiled Jane too much, that''s why she''s so wild now.'' "Ah? The old house?" J was even more confused now. "Yes! And J, if you dare to make any more trouble today, I''ll kill! Come together tonight!" E then hung up the phone furiously, leaving J stunned and alone in front of the hospital''s door. She looked at the No. 3 People Hospital, and wondered how did her mom and dad know why she was there. It wasn''t possible! She not only bypassed Chuck Hospital, but also took care not to use her real name. How could her dad know about that as well? No way! J whined, and the more she thought about it, the more it looked to seem that way! She was screwed! Also, what did her mother mean with bringing Brian over for dinner at the old house? In any case, her mom was furious, and so she had to contact Brian whether she liked it or not! "Hello, Brian?" Holding the phone against he ear, J smiled, because she felt very embarrassed. Brian alsoughed, and asked, "What happened? J?" "Um... Do you have some free time tonight?" J scratched her head in embarrassment. Brian thought his schedule for a moment, and answered, "Yes, I have, but it''ll be after 7:00 pm." "Don''t worry. It''s just... my mom... I don''t know what''s wrong with her... She insisted on bringing you over to dinner at my great-grandma... I''m confused." ''Why must it be at the old house? Is there something important she has to tell us about?'' J''s mother had insisted for him to eat at her great-grandma''s home. Then, Brian was confused too. But he still agreed, nheless. "I''ll contact you when I finish work." "OK, Brian. Go to work, I won''t bother you." J''s consideration made Brian feel touched. "Bye, J." After she ended the call, J looked at the time and saw that it was almost four o''clock. She did not have to go to the store anymore, so she went home to sleep instead! Since her body was aching, she shouldn''t stay out. She slept until Brian called her. "Jane, I am on Zhongshan Road. Where are you?" "I... I''m still at home. You go first, I''lle right away." J then quickly got up from bed and walked into the bathroom in a daze. "Fine, but tell me the address!" Brian entered a store, bought a gift, and then waited for J to give him the address. At the Shao''s old house In addition to Samuel, the whole family happily greeted Brian in the living room, and he greeted everyone back. When Brian saw Samuel''s sullen look, his heart suddenly beat faster, and instantly thought that something must be happening here tonight. E and Vi had already prepared supper, and were just waiting for Brian and J to arrive. "Here, eat some fruit first. I''ll go and call Jane to see where she is." E let Brian sit next to Samuel and then went to speak on her phone in the other room. "Mom, what happened?" answered J, as she looked at the man in front of her car. "Where are you, Jane?" "Oh, I just left. I''ll drive faster." J had no choice now but to get out of the car. "Drive slowly. Don''t worry." They could talk to Brian first and then to J, when she would arriveter. "Yes, mom." J ended the call and then went to the front of the car. "Daniel, why are you blocking my car?" "Where are you going?" She had dressed neatly for the evening. There was something fishy behind this. "I''m going to the old house. Have you heard what my mother said just now?" J pulled him away off the road and then started to return to her car. He had been such a monsterst night, and she was still pissed off at him. "What are you doing at the old house?" ''She must go there for some reason, '' thought Daniel. "How do I know? Go and ask my mom!" J shed him a face and then drove away. J didn''t expect that Daniel would really call her mother to make sure she was heading there. "Godmother!" "Daniel?" When E spoke the name it attracted Brian''s attention. Daniel spoke coldly, "I just came back home and saw Jane go out." "Oh, Jane ising over to the old house. We have to talk about Jane and Brian." E was upset by this. It would have been good if Jane were with Daniel instead. Her words made Daniel frown. He knew that Jane''s boyfriend was Brian, and he couldn''t help but asking, "What''s with Jane and Brian?" E stood up from the sofa and went to the other side of the room, and said, "Jane is too stupid, and Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. she doesn''t know when she could suffer loss. Your godfather wants Brain to be responsible for Jane. We have to talk about Brian''s ns and, if possible, we will set the wedding date straight away." When E finished her words, Daniel on the other side was silent. E, who didn''t know the real situation, asked him, "How are you with your girlfriend doing these days?" "Fine." "Ah! Treat your girlfriend well, and when you have timee over and have dinner with us here!" E was frustrated, but she couldn''t force two people to be together if they didn''t want to. It didn''t matter, Brian was also an excellent match. "Yes, godmother." Daniel then hung up and, in a daze, walked alone under the light of the streetmps. ''Why did J lie about Brian?'' thought Daniel. ''Maybe the two really had been together? Why did she lie to mest night that nothing happened between her and Brian?'' When they first had sex, she had uttered Brian''s name while holding him... Brian''sment on Weibo confirmed that he would take her to Korea. They were showing off! He thought that J was lying to him. She was dating two people at the same time, just as he was, although he pretended to actually do it. A cold wind then blew over Daniel''s heart. ''No way! J must give me an exnation!'' Daniel then got into his Lamborghini and drove to the Shao''s old house. At the Shao''s old house Brian, Vincent, and Melody were having a good chat. "Brian, let''s eat. J will be hereter." E asked Brian to sit at the dinner table and start eating. "Aunt, you eat first. I''ll wait for J." E waved at him, and said, "Jane has no time concept. You might have to wait until nine or ten." Brian didn''t refuse them any longer, and all of them moved to the table. But just after two bites, Samuel put down his chopsticks. "Brian." "Yes sir!" Brian responded sternly out of instinct. When he saw the three women smiling at him, he then remembered where he really was. Feeling embarrassed, he looked at Samuel and said: "Uncle." "Hum, tell me, what are your feelings towards J?" Samuel asked him straight. Brian was stunned for a brief second. Seeing Samuel''s serious look, he knew that he was not joking. Then he answered "I like J a lot, but... Jane doesn''t like me. She likes someone else." Chapter 94 What Do You Think I Am! Chapter 94 What Do You Think I Am! His words made E and Samuel exchange strong looks. Things were getting a little bit tricky here... Samuel continued his words using a firmer tone. "I have no interest in knowing the details of your love story. However, I do wish you can take up responsibility for Jane. As a man, you need to live up to your words and bear the consequences of your actions! You are a well trained soldier. You should have known better!" Brian was utterly lost at his strong usation. What did he mean by taking up responsibility for Jane? What had happened? Did he do something to Jane that required him to be responsible for her? He paused for a while, thinking what to say to Samuel best. With a clear tone in his voice, Brian answered, "Whatever you say. If you ask me to marry J, I will be more than happy to do it!" Brian''s straightforward reply pleased the Shao family. "Very well. Let''s wait for Jane and then we can discuss it further with her as well." Uttering these words, Samuel continued dining. Half an hourter J came dashing into the living room. As she found no one there, she then quickly turned to the dining room. Everyone was there, waiting for her. "Great grandmother, grandparents, dad, mom, Brian! Here I am!" She dashed into Melody''s arms, who was smiling the moment sheid her eyes on her beloved J. Everyone was pleased and joyful. "Where''s John?" J was confused because she didn''t see her brother anywhere. E exined to her, "John went to your auntie''s. He won''t be here with us this evening." Alright! "Jane, go and wash your hands for dinner." Melody lovingly pat her great grand child''s hand as she stared her in the eyes. J nodded and then went to wash her hands. Upon return, she found that the seat next to Brian was empty. Naturally, she sat down next to him. "Hey, J, try this fish made by auntie. She did an amazing job cooking it!" Brian earnestly put arge piece of juicy fish onto J''s te. The rest sitting at the table were all contented as they witnessed the sweet moment. Brian was very considerate, despite the fact him being with other soldiers in the army all throughout the year. "Jane, I''ve talked to Brian. In a couple of day''s time, Brian and his family are going to visit us to officially discuss the marriage between you two. What do you think about it?" Samuel was helping E with the shrimp as he casuallyunched the question to his daughter. J almost choked on the piece of fish when she heard the shocking news! ''What the hell?'' She stared at Brian in disbelief, who responded by giving her an awkward smile. He was speechless himself. "Dad, why on earth are Brian and his familying here to discuss our marriage?" She gulped the juice that Brian offered her to ease her difort. Samuel pulled his face stern at her response. "Jane, mind your words! You''ve been together for ages. If you don''t intend to get married, then what are you going to do? I won''t allow you to mess around anymore!" Well.... J did not know what to say in her defense. Instead, she blinked her eyes innocently, as she exined, "Dad, I was not messing around!" She thought that actually her father was the one who was being unreasonable with! The ambiance was tensed at the table. Brian then pat J on the shoulder, and said, "J, let''s eat first. We will discuss the issueter!" E also tried tofort her husband. "Samuel, please be patient with our child. Don''t shout at her!" "Exactly. Let the kids eat first. We''ll talk about these thingster!" quickly added Melody. She tried to ease the tension hanging in the air. Samuel put the peeled shrimps on E''s te, wiped his fingers with a wet towel, and finally nodded, "Let''s finish eating first!" J was still offended by her father''s words. She then asked him with a bold tone, "Dad, why did you shout at me? All I asked for was why the marriage was on an agenda, and you lost your temper because of it." For the first time in their lives, Samuel and J were firing words towards each other and arguing. "J, do you think that I am not aware of the things you did?" Samuel gave his daughter a stern look. Seeing J''s nk look, he could no longer control his anger but snap at her loudly, "You and Brian... have been together already. Why not get married soon? What are you waiting for? Are you expecting a short-gun wedding?" ... Samuel''s words made both Brian and J utterly speechless. What was he shouting about? When had they be a couple? Howe they didn''t have the slightest idea about it? "Uncle Samuel, I think you must have mistaken something here." Brian came to his senses as he boldly stated his point to Samuel; but he still had no idea about what Samuel was really talking about. Why would Samuel think that he and Jane had already had sex? Was it because of the night when he had brought J to the hotel? "Mistake? I know the truth! J, I''ve called the hospital myself. You know very well why you went to the hospital!" Samuel''s eyes were burning with anger. J''s face flushed red as her father revealed her secret in front of everyone. She felt awkward and did not know what to do next. Her father had crossed the line! He was now trespassing on her private space.... J suddenly stood up from the chair with tears in her eyes. She muttered between her teeth, "Dad, that was not Brian!" With these words, she then ran away from the dining table, leaving the rest gasping in surprise at her reply. By then, Brian had figured out all the situation. Samuel must have mistaken him for someone else who already had sex with J. "Uncle Samuel, I had nothing to do with J!" He knew who the man in discussion was. But it was not up to him to reveal his name. Brian''s words made Samuel regret what he did. He then started to worry about his daughter. J ran all the way out of the old house in distress. Worrying about her, Brian quickly ran after her to make sure she was safe. Across the street, there was a Lamborghini parked, and J didn''t pay any attention to it and just ran past it. Brian finally caught up with her, and said, "J, calm down, please." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. J stopped and she looked at him with a sad look in her eyes. "I''m sorry that my father wronged you like that, Brian. I''m sorry to have caused you so much trouble!" "It''s OK, J. Please don''t cry anymore. If he doesn''t want to be responsible for you and marry you, then I would..." J understood him without letting him finish the sentence. The rest of the family were all out now. Helped by Vincent, Melody stood there with her walking cane as she shouted at them, "Jane,e back home. We can sort it all out back here, at home!" J saw her, but the moment she also spotted Samuel, she threw herself away from Brian''s arms and ran away even further. Just then, a tall figure appeared in front of her and stopped her in her tracks. ... J''s face was covered with tears. Daniel felt both half sorry and half angry to see her like that. As soon as she recognized him, she then burst out into a loud cry. Hitting his chest with her fists, she shouted, "It''s all your fault! Your fault! You made my father... wrong me like that! Your fault!" Daniel held her hands tightly, and asked in a soft voice, "What''s going on? Stop crying and tell me what happened!" The rest of the family, standing not that far away from them, were all confused. They did not see that E thought to herself that Daniel must be the one who her daughter was really dating.... Brian stood behind them as he watched her crying on Daniel''s chest. He felt something break in his heart. Sadly, he took out a cigarette out of his pack and lit it with his hands shivering. He then stood there, inhaling the smoke in silence and thinking that he had already forgotten her. Daniel wiped away the tears on J''s face, and said, "Did Brian turn you down?" "What? Daniel Si, you bastard! What do you think I am!" J screamed out of distress as she pushed him away. She couldn''t bear it anymore. Howe everyone seemed to misunderstand her today? She was really upset because of this! Her wrists were caught in his powerful hands. He pulled her back to him, and said, "Come back. borate what happened, please!" Chapter 95 From Now On You Cant Meet With Brian Anymore Chapter 95 From Now On You Can''t Meet With Brian Anymore "I don''t want to talk about it anymore! I don''t care what you think! I was just so dissolute and also even went to the hospital to take care of my wound with medicine! Leave me alone!" shouted J. She seemed to be going mad, and dragged her wrist out of Daniel''s hand. Even if it felt painful, she ignored it. ''Went to the hospital to take care of her wound with medicine?'' pondered Daniel, with a confused expression glimmering in his eyes. J struggled to free herself, but Daniel still didn''t loosen his grip on her. He then took out his phone from his pocket with his other hand and called Samuel, who was not far away from him. "Father*, please go inside the house, I''ll take care of Jane!" (*TN: Here father means sworn father) "Um. I see, " replied Samuel. After he asked his parents and his grandmother to enter the house first, Samuel then walked up to Brian and apologized to him. "Brian, I am so sorry. I misunderstood you and Jane..." Samuel believed that all of this was all his fault. Brian put out the cigarette he was smoking and then stood up at the roadside, saying, "It doesn''t matter. I should leave now; I will contact Jter to see how she''s doing." After he heard these words, Samuel nodded, and after Brian said his goodbyes to everyone present, he drove away. Daniel held J tightly in his arms, and said, "Jane! Be obedient!" "Why do I have to be obedient to you? I''m already ufortable because everyone misunderstood me. If you were me, would you feel alright?" asked J. Her hand was already red, but Daniel did not lose his grip on her. Daniel helped her wipe her tears off her cheeks and wondered if J refused the engagement with Brian. "Jane, I''m going to return to the old house and tell father* that you''re in a rtionship with me, and except for me, you can''t marry anyone else!" (*TN: Here father means sworn father) With these words Daniel, indeed, released J from his grip and walked towards the old house. But J then held on to Daniel instead, and said, "Daniel, don''t go back! I don''t want to give Samuel any more exnations and I also don''t care about his misunderstanding!" The military vehicle then stopped behind J and the driver''s windows was rolled down. "J, I''m going back now. Call me if you ever need anything!" said Brian. When she heard Brian''s words, J turned around, and replied, "OK, Brian. Thank you... And I''m sorry about all of this. Be careful on the road!" The two men looked at each other and then looked away, not even greeting each other. "You''re wee, J. Bye!" replied Brian. After he drove his military vehicle away, Brian saw in the rear view mirror that Daniel was holding J in his arms... "J, from now on you can''t meet with Brian anymore!" warned Daniel. It was the first time Daniel had felt jealous! J wondered why Daniel was so shameless to ask her not to meet with Brian anymore. He was also in a rtionship with Kate; why didn''t he stop dating her? "Leave me alone! I''m in a bad mood now, so you''d better not provoke me!" said J. She pushed Daniel away and then slowly walked along the roadside. Daniel, who followed her, came over to her with his hands in his pocket, and said, "You''re in a bad mood?" Since he hadn''t coaxed any girls before, it seemed to be difficult for him to please her. So he tried to He then walked regrly and stretched out a hand and caught J''s shoulder to stop her from advancing any further. The next thing he did was to take out his phone out of his pocket. When J realized what he was going to do, it was toote, because Daniel had already got through to Samuel on the phone. "Father*, I''m the one who is in a rtionship with J, so I will marry..." (*TN: Here father means sworn father) His mouth was then suddenly covered by J. Since J was too rmed, she had ignored hisst word over the line - "marry". J was so angry that after she ended the call, she directly turned off his phone! "What are you doing?" asked Daniel. Daniel was distressed and pulled down J''s hand. J''s response made him think that she didn''t want to be in love with him! J just didn''t want everyone to know that she was his mistress! And she also didn''t want the bastard to be responsible for her! She thought that she could consider this only after Daniel broke up with Kate... Samuel, who was in the old house, massaged his painful temple when he looked at his phone. He began to regret that he had longed for a daughter before. He felt very annoyed by her. Finally, he said to E, "I won''t step in her affairs any longer, becasue I have to ask different people to be responsible for her every time. And it seems that no one wants to marry her!" "You finally draw this conclusion!" said E sarcastically. When she found out that Daniel was the one held ountable for her, she suddenly felt better. She then hummed a tune in the bedroom while she tidied up some sun-dried clothes on the bed. "She was asking for trouble. If she had told me of this before, I would not have involved Brian into this. Well, by now, Brian must feel very ufortable!" said Samuel. Both the fact that Brian had liked Jane and Daniel''s sudden appearance had hurt him. E was silent for a little while, and then said, "It isn''t our fault. After all, Brian is a military officer, so he''ll cope with the stress in his own proper way." Samuel sighed and hoped that Brian would let it pass. "Look at your daughter. She is no where near as obedient as Jerry is. Weren''t you anxious to have a daughter?" spoke E. John, who was just over two years old, didn''t worry them so much as she did. In face, Samuel loved Jane the most out of his three children. However, E took his words seriously. She said, "Well, I will leave along with Jane, and you live together with Jerry and John!" When he heard these words, Samuel immediately held his wife in his arms, and replied, "Honey, I was just talking. Can''t I at least grumble about it?" "No!" E straightforwardly rejected him. Samuel felt distressed by her, and said, "OK. Honey, you are the most important person to me and everything is now up to you!" E snorted. This time, it sounded more OK! She went on doing her tasks, pleased. Outside, Daniel got J into his car and then they left the old house. "Let me get off the car. I don''t want to go anywhere!" shouted J. She looked out of the car window and was morose and annoyed at what was happening. Suddenly, snow fell from the sky. J was surprised to see the kes and rolled down the car window. Indeed, it was snowing! Daniel took J downtown and then parked the car in front of a luxurious apartmentplex. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. When she looked at the building in front of her, J saw that it was a forty-story, or maybe more, tall building. Who lived here? And why did he take her here? Daniel, who now held her hand, unlocked the fingerprint lock and entered the elevator on the ground floor. He then pressed the 48th floor button. "Who are we visiting?" asked J. They stood together in the elevator waiting for it to climb. His big palm was wrapped on her little hand, and J felt warm. When she looked at Daniel''s tall, strong back, J''s heartbeat started racing. She could smell Daniel''s familiar perfume, which fascinated her... "You''ll know when we arrive!" replied Daniel. The elevator quickly reached the 48th floor. When they got off the elevator, J was pulled out of it by Daniel. Then, they walked towards an apartment and stopped in front of its beige door. Daniel unlocked the fingerprint lock, and the door was opened. J followed him into the apartment. After Daniel turned on the light, J saw a very spacious apartment, which seemed to cover an area of almost 1, 000 square meters. ''Does the apartment take up the whole 48th floor?'' she wondered. ''Daniel has such a luxurious apartment!'' The apartment was neatly and elegantly decorated, with some costly European-style furniture in it. There were also dozens of high-grade red wine bottles sitting on the wine rack. A bookshelf was ced near the wine rack, and it was packed with rare books. On a whole, the decorative style of the apartment was almost the same as that of Vi No. 9. This must''ve been Daniel''s apartment. Chapter 96 Well be Together Until Tomorrow Morning Chapter 96 We''ll be Together Until Tomorrow Morning "Why did you bring me here?" asked J. She asked and looked at the man who was now opening a bottle of red wine. He seemed to be quite fond of drinking red wine, as J had seen him drink red wine many times. "Sleep!" The man only replied to her with a simple word. ... J rolled her eyes at him, and said, "No! I am not sleeping here! You go to bed!" "OK!" The man answered her straight forwardly. J stood there, speechless, and didn''t know what to do next. ''Should I stay or should I go?'' she thought. ''I''d better leave!'' J turned around and walked towards the apartment''s door. "I should go. Goodbye!" she said. "Stop! Go to the bedroom''s balcony, in the eastern side, and wait for me there!" demanded Daniel. He then carefully poured his red wine into the wine decanter, and then began to delicately aerate it. ''To the bedroom''s balcony? What''s he nning to do?'' wondered J. "Can I refuse?" asked J. "No!" After the man sternly replied, he rested his arms on the long table, seriously looking at his ss of red wine. J rolled her eyes at him and thenplied, walking towards the direction he had just told her. J opened the bedroom''s door and went in. She found that the bedroom was very clean and that the bed was tidy, with a deep brown colored lining set on it. She felt curious at the sight, because it seemed that seldom someone slept there; but the bed was still well made and tidied with clean bed sheets. Without overthinking things, J opened the balcony''s transparent ss door. Just then, a gust of cold wind blew over her, and she couldn''t help but shiver from head to toe. The balcony was tiled with ceramics in deep color, and it had a sunshade umbre, along with a table and four chairs. Above her was a ss-made ceiling, through which she could clearly see the night''s sky and it''s stars. Standing in the door for a while, J couldn''t help but step forward inside it. The urban night scene of the city was now unfolding in front of her, and she could see the city brilliantly illuminated and bustling with all the cars going anding on the roads. It was quite tranquil up there. The ss door opened again, and Daniel came over to her, holding a ss of red wine in his hand. He held on to the woman''s waist from her back, who was enjoying the night view near the balcony''s rail, and said, "Do you like it here?" It was quite peaceful here, and he thought it was only fair to bring her here, as she was inclined to be silent every time when she was sad. "Not too bad." J made a simplement, and then she stretched out her hands to catch the little snowkes that were dropping down from the sky. ''Not too bad?'' Daniel thought and frowned, and then he put down the ss of wine on the table. As he embraced her waist with his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder, he said, "If this isn''t enough to satisfy you, what about we do something else?" J instantly drew back her hands and then turned around to face him. "Daniel, I still haven''t got even with you! You made me have to go to the hospital! And now you still want to... Hum! Men are always thinking and dealing with things with their lower part of their body!" Daniel grinned a smile and lowered his head to kiss her plump red lips, and a seductive aura soon filled the air around them. J''s back was supported by the balcony''s rail, and her whole body was held tight by Daniel. "No..." she said. She pushed his chest with weak strength. "What''s on your mind? I just thought that we could drink some red wine and rx. You''re just overthinking things'' it''s not my fault, " tittered Daniel. The man''s face softened, and then he grabbed the ss of wine from the table and took another sip out of it. J''s face flushed red, ''Oh, so now it''s my misunderstanding!'' she thought. She then looked around here, and said, "Daniel, you''re so mean. Why didn''t you bring one more ss of red wine for your guest? Oh, uh..." Her lips were kissed again, and a mouthful of red wine then slipped into her mouth and went down her throat, into her stomach... ''You are not a guest, and if you are willing to, I''ll change your name, and then you''ll be the hostess here!'' Daniel thought. With a deep look in his eyes the man stared at the girl, who was now naturally closing her eyes. He hadn''t broken up with Kate because he wanted to protect her. He had tried his best to protect her from any aching or disturbance. If J had said that she cared... He, of course, would have broken up with Kate immediately. But, she had never demanded that... Before J had another chance to protest, another sip of red wine was slipped into her mouth again. "Daniel, maybe you''re not so squeamish about cleanliness... but I am! Please don''t force me to drink wine in this way, OK?" protested J. She bent down to gulp for air. Though she protested, in reality, and not knowing why, she actually liked it! "Do you mean that I''m disgusting?" asked Daniel with a peaceful tone. J threw him a look, and wondered whether she should tell a lie and nod or shake her head instead. The man grinned a smile again and held her tight into his arms, and said, "I know you won''t mind." If she dared to nod her head in just that moment, Daniel was sure to punish her again. He would force her to drink the wine in this way, everyday, until she wouldn''t mind it anymore. Then, all of a sudden, the phone in Daniel''s pocket started ringing. He let go of J and then took out his phone out of his pocket. He took a brief look at the screen and then passed it to J. "Answer it, " he said. ''What?'' J curiously looked at the screen, and saw the caller was her sworn mother. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Why don''t you answer it yourself?" asked J. "That''s your mother-inw, you answer it!" Daniel said. ... J helplessly took over the phone while she stood bewildered in the midst of a cold wind. "That''s my sworn mother, not mother-inw. Why did you say it like I''m already married to you." Her face flushed bright red, which made Daniel happy; he felt couldn''t wait to make fun of herter. "J, marry me!" asked Daniel. He stared her straight in the eye, but with only half the truth spoken in his gaze! J took a deep breath, and nearly fell mesmerized by his deep stare. "You''re kidding me!" said J with a little choke. She wasn''t happy with this joke, because he already had a girlfriend. Then the phone rang for a second time, and J answered it. "Hello, mother.*" (*TN: sworn mother) L was first puzzled by the woman''s voiceing from the other side of the line, but then she replied, "Oh, it''s you Jane! I''m sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number. I actually wanted to call Daniel. Sorry to disturb you." Then, almost in an instant, L hung up on her; J didn''t even have a chance to exin herself. She looked at the phone, speechless. But then the phone rang again. "Mother*, " answered J. (*TN: sworn mother) "Oh! Have I dialed it wrong again? My eyes are really... I''m not that old, but why did I make the same mistake twice?" said L. "No, mother. This is Daniel''s phone number, you''ve dialed it correct, " said J almost yelling in the phone. Then, L finally stopped her murmurings over the phone. She took a look at her phone and saw that indeed she had dialed the the right number! "Oh! Jane! Are you with Daniel?" L put back the phone over her ear; she was so surprised and happy. ''E was right! Jane''s getting together with my son! That''s good!'' thought L. J threw an embarrassed nce at the man next to her, who was enjoying his ss of wine, and she cautiously answered back to L, "Uh, yes. Right at this moment..." ''If mother* also misunderstands me as being his mistress, It''ll be even more embarrassing'' thought J. (*TN: sworn mother) But, without even expecting it, Daniel then suddenly drew himself more close to her and cut in with some words over the phone. "Not only just now, but we''ll be together until tomorrow morning." J didn''t have the time to cover the speaker. She gave him a furious stare, but he grinned a sly smile on his face instead; L then hastily answered on the other side of the line, "OK! OK! Then I shouldn''t disturb you two any longer. Jane, I am hanging up now, and tomorrow, I''ll..." "Please hang up the phone, mother! Aren''t you aware that you''re disturbing us! Why are you talking so much?" broke Daniel in a peaceful voice. He had drawn closer to J again, and had cut short L''s exciting speech over the phone. L immediately hung up. J pinched Daniel, and said, "What are you doing? Why did you say something like that when nothing was happening!" "A single man and a single woman are spending the night together. Even if nothing is happening between us right now, we still can never exin ourselves clearly to others, " said Daniel. He put back the phone in his pocket, and thought, ''Well! It''s really wonderful to stay at peace with J!'' Chapter 97 Janet, Youre Really Gonna be the Death of Me Chapter 97 J, You''re Really Gonna be the Death of Me "I don''t want to talk with you anymore!" said J. She pretended to be angry with him and threw him a despised nce, then keeping her distance from him. Gripping his ss of red wine, Daniel gradually came closer to J until he leaned tight on her back and stretched out his hand to put the ss on her lips. "It''s so stingy!" said J. She took the ss and drank up all the wine in it. After, when she finished thest drop, she swayed the empty ss in front of him, and joyfully said, "Look! You''ve got nothing left to drink anymore!" Daniel took the empty ss, and while he put it aside on the table, he said, "I can drink... This!" and he held her in his arms. He then kissed her lips and enjoyed tasting the wine''s vor from her mouth. His kiss pressed harder and harder, and he didn''t let her off until she nearly suffocated. With their foreheads touching against each other, Daniel said, "J, you''re really one tempting woman!" He just couldn''t help kissing and hugging her... J curled up her red lips, and said, "Thank you for yourpliments!" Daniel then suddenly lifted her in the air, and while she screamed, he carried her back into the bedroom. One of her slippers had been already kicked off of her foot in the balcony, and the other one was taken off by Daniel. He ced her on the bed, and said, "Wait for me here, I''m going out for a moment." The woman then turned and sat up on the bed, and upon hearing his words, she stared at him, and asked, "Where are you going?" Daniel kissed her forehead, and said, "Just wait!" Then he left. J threw herself into the quilt and covered her red and hot face. She was so excited that she then danced with joy. After about ten minutester, Daniel came back. He had a medicine box in his hand, and he swayed it in front of J, grinning a sly smile. J curiously stared at the smiling man, and asked, "What''s that?" "Guess!" said Daniel. He then opened the box and took out the ointment inside. J took a better look at the medicine box, and then her face instantly flushed red, and said, "Thanks!" Then she went towards the bathroom. She had left her handbag in her car, as she had just quarreled with her father. But luckily, her phone was in her pocket. "Wait!" Her arm was then gripped by Daniel, and she turned around. Daniel lifted the woman, whose bare feet were stepping on the carpet, and then put her back onto the bed. He sat at the bedside, took back the ointment, and said, "Let me help you with it." "No... No, I can do it myself." J refused and kept on shaking her head. "Be obedient! I''ve brought it, and so I should also help you with it, " said Daniel. He then twisted it''s lid off, and felt that it smelled cool and refreshing. J''s face then flushed bright red, and still insisting, she said, "No. I can apply it by myself!" But the man didn''t give her any chance to refuse him again and then began his moves... It took about half an hour for Daniel to apply the ointment on Jane. Then, he directly pressed her under him. "Jane, you''re luring me!" The man protested to her in a low and hoarse voice. J feltpletely innocent, and said, "You''re framing me!" ... ''I''m so pure! I''ve never meant to do something like that!'' thought J. Daniel kissed hard on her lips, with his big palm gripping her small hand to move forward on her. Then, when it came to undo his belt''s buckle, the man breathed and whispered to the woman''s ear, "Jane, help me..." ''Oh! ''Jane'' sounds so greating from his mouth!'' she thought. ''The touch on this buckle is kind of familiar.'' J then lowered her eyes and looked at it. ''Isn''t that the belt that I gave him?'' she thought, and then also asked in a sweet tone. "What? Haven''t you sold the belt for tonics?" Daniel took a slight bite on her lips, and then said, "If you think that I need tonics, then I''ll go and buy some right now!" "No! Actually, that won''t be necessary!" replied J. And with her arms gripping tight around his neck, she slightly raised up her head, and said in a tender voice, "Daniel, you don''t need to eat any tonics. You''re actually really strong, I... can barely stand it." Daniel was so satisfied by the woman''s highpliments that he grinned a real big smile on his face, and proudly said, "I''m d you''re well aware of that, and from now on, be good and behave well, or otherwise I''ll punish you, again!" ''But if you''re ever hurt and feeling uneasy, of course my heart will bitterly ache for you, '' thought Daniel. "Um." She slightly answered him back. Daniel gripped her little hand, and demanded, "Help me unbuckle it." Flushing a red face J touched the belt''s buckle, and then one minute passed, and another one, and she still couldn''t unbuckle it; there were already hundreds of beads of sweating out of Daniel''s forehead. He had no choice, but to unbuckle it himself. "Crack!" The buckle''s cracking sounding made J instantly close her eyes. She was now too shy to even have a look at Daniel''s face. "Jane, you''re so sweet..." As the night steadily grew, snowkes were dropping down on the ground outside while inside the grand bedroom a warm and charming aura was filling the air around the two lovers. "I feel my mouth sore, " said J. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Very soon..." said the man. "It''s been too long!" The woman protested with a lisp. And the man couldn''t help butughing at her, and said, "Do something else." "What? Like what?" replied J. Incautiously, she bit him when she was uttering her words. "..." Instantly, J was startled by his facial expressions, and apologized at once, "Sorry, sorry! I didn''t do it on purpose, swear!" The man closed his eyes and gripped tight his fists, bearing the pain. ''J, you''re really gonna be the death of me!'' he thought. ''God! This torturous tempting woman!'' ... Outside it was snowing heavily, and the city was soon coated with a thickyer of white. Daniel went into the bathroom, feeling refreshed. And massaging her sore mouth, J also followed him into the bathroom. She found a brand new set of tooth brushes and then she began to brush her teeth. Staring at the mirror, in which J could see the man under the shower, she could hardly move her eyes away from him. Her movements gradually slowed down, and various thoughts came into her mind. She tried to focus hey eyes on his pecs and abs... The shower''s water was then suddenly stopped. J then moved her eyes away with a guilty conscious look in them, but it was already toote. The man casually wrapped himself with a bathrobe and then walked up to J, who was still brushing her teeth, and while he held her waist, he said, "Jane, if you''re not satisfied yet, I''ll go and buy a box of condoms. What do you think about that?" ''Right, I forgot it. I should have bought some, '' he thought. The woman hastily shook her head, pushed away the man, and after she quickly finished her brushing, said, "No, Mr. Si. I have to go to sleep! Good night!" Then she slipped into the bedroom and burrowed herself inside the quilt. Daniel came out of the bathroom, pressed her at his side, gave her a deep kiss, and then holding her tight in his arms, he fell sound asleep. Early next morning Daniel''s phone rang, and J woke up. Daniel, who was already awake, sat up on the bed and grabbed his phone. "Father*!" J suddenly awoke when she heard who was calling. (*TN: sworn father) She turned around and sternly stared at the man who answered his phone. She noticed that his unshaven and fresh face after sleep was even sexier. Daniel caught her small hand with his fist, and continued, "Um, yes. Please don''t worry, father." "OK, " he turned to J. "Jane, talk with your father." Daniel then passed over the phone to J. Hearing this, J hesitated for a moment and then got out of the bed and walked straight into the bathroom, with a peaceful look on her face. Daniel had no choice but to put back the phone over his ear. Samuel on the other side of the line understood the current situation, and asked, "Jane''s not willing to talk with me, right?" "Yes." Daniel replied honestly. Chapter 98 Ill Find a House of My Own and Move Out These Days Chapter 98 I''ll Find a House of My Own and Move Out These Days "Fine, I was thinking that she wouldn''t... Anyway, whenever you''re free, pleasee and talk with me about the affair between you and J." Samuel spoke thest sentence in a very severe tone. "OK, I understand, father*!" (*TN: sworn father) Daniel sternly replied. After she washed and brushed, J found that her clothes were... She then squinted at the man who had just also finished brushing. Daniel wore a smile on his face, and said, "Don''t go anywhere today. Wait for me here; I''ming back tonight." "For what?" asked J. "Just listen to me!" said the man. ... The woman then held him, and standing on her tiptoes, and she gave him a slight kiss on his Adam''s apple. In an instant, the man''s eyes became bigger, and his breath also starteding in short gasps. He rested his big palms on her slim waist, and said, "I''m not going to work today." "What?" ''Why isn''t he going to work all of a sudden?'' she thought. J stared at the man in front of her with a doubtful look in her eyes. Daniel grinned, and said, "I just want to hold you in my arms and sleep all day!" J''s face flushed crimson red, and while she pushed him on the bedroom''s door, she said, "Go! Go to work now!" While Daniel was changing his shoes at the door, he said, "Remember to wait for me here. Don''t go anywhere, and don''t worry, I''ll arrange for someone to handle your cake shop''s business for you." He really wanted to meet again with J as soon as he came back. "OK! I know! Goodbye! You national dream man for girls!" When she said this, J had stuck out her tongue and was just about to close the door. But the man held her by the head and kissed her hard on her red lips for a long while before he finally let her go. "Hurry up, or you''ll bete!" urged J. Then, a man came out of the elevator. It was Spark. J was initially a little bit shocked to see him there, but soon calmed down. ''She''s wearing Mr. Si''s nightgown...'' Spark thought. He then greeted Daniel. "Good morning, Mr. Si." ''Mr. Si sent a message to me this early morning, asking me to bring a take-away breakfast and toe here. So, the breakfast is actually for J...'' thought Spark. Daniel took the breakfast and then passed it over to J, and said, "Go back inside and eat!" Then J was left all alone in the whole apartment. When she was eating breakfast, she identally spilled out some of the soybean milk onto the nightgown she was wearing. After breakfast, J randomly picked up one of Daniel''s shirts and changed into it. She then opened the balcony''s door. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. The whole city outside was now coated with ayer of thick white snow. J walked up to the ss window near the balcony''s rail, and wrote "Daniel Si" on it with her fingers. Staying in the balcony for more than ten minutes, J didn''t feel the cold except on her legs, which were exposed. She curiously touched Daniel''s shirt, and although it was thin, it still kept her warm. In the afternoon, when J was sleeping, her phone rang. Her mother, E, was calling her. "Mom!" answered J. She wasn''t evenpletely awake yet. "Jane, where are you now? Why aren''t you at the cake shop yet?" asked her mother. E was worried about J, and she left the old house after having lunch. She thought that she would find J at her cake shop, but she didn''t. Hebe Zhang told her that J actually hadn''te to the shop all day. Then she went to the mansion, but still couldn''t find her. "Uh, I''m staying in some ce outside. Mom, please don''t worry for me, " said J. She turned her body in bed and feltfortable staying wrapped in the warm quilt on such a cold, snowy day. E suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Are you in Daniel''s mansion now?" "No, I''m not! Mom. Please don''t inquire about this anymore. And also, I''ve made up my mind and I''ll find a house of my own and move out these days!" answered J. ''I''m already a grown-up, and it''s inconvenient to live with my parents!'' thought J. E was distressed on hearing that her daughter was moving out, and asked, "Why? What''s up? Are you still angry with your father? Jane, listen. It''s not safe for a girl to live alone!" "Mom, I have the bodyguards hired by him, don''t I? I''ve already made up my mind and I won''t change it!" insisted J. ''It seems that Jane is still angry with Samuel, '' thought E. She then asked, "Jane, are you moving out to live with Daniel?" ''If she''s living with Daniel, should I agree?'' pondered E. "Mom! What are you thinking? No! I''m just going to live all alone, all by myself!" replied J. She kept rolling in bed for a while, totally losing her mood to sleep because of her mother''s call. "OK then, but don''t rush things. I''ll discuss it with your father and ask his opinion on it, " said E. "Mom! I''ve already grown up! I''m not a child anymore! I could live by myself before. It''s not a big deal, why can''t I make my own decision? Please don''t tell Samuel, I won''t listen to his opinions!" protested J. ''If mom will discuss this with father, the answer will clearly be no, and then I''ll never step a foot out of the Royal Mansion Neighborhood again!'' E was well aware that her daughter was just raging and acting rashly, and she still patiently persuaded her daughter. "Jane, your father already knew that he had you all misunderstood. He said that he won''t intervene in every of your affairs from now on, and we''ll only be concerned with ours." Lying on the bed, J swept her hair back, and replied, "No, mom. I know that Samuel did all of this for my own good, and I won''t be angry with him. But I have decided to move out of the house, so please promise me that you''re all right with this, and please don''t talk about this anymore! Please!" Listening to her daughter''s persuasive tone, E couldn''t help butugh, and she said, "You naughty little girl! If you''re staying alone we, as your parents, can''t ever stop worrying!" ''Indeed, our daughter is a grown-up now, and we should give her some space for her own privacy, '' thought E. ''But she''s just a girl and, after all, we do have a right to worry about her!'' J brainstormed and made great efforts toe up with an idea to convince her mother to leave her alone. If she could seed in convincing her mother, then her father wouldn''t be a problem! She said, "Mom, how about this? I''ll find a house that is near to my brother''s or Sven''s apartments. And, even if anything bad were to happen to me, I can quickly turn to them for help." ''Or maybe I can find a ce near Daniel. Anyway, he''s also one of my sworn brothers after all. Ha ha, '' thought J. The suggestion now effective on E, and she said, "Fine, then you don''t need to find a house all by yourself. I''ll ask your brother or Sven to find one for you." "OK! Then it''s settled! I knew you loved me best! I love you, Mom!" said J cheerfully. J was so happy that she nearly jumped out of bed because she could finally see her freedom unfolding! "Oh, I just can''t do anything to persuade you. I''m sure that your father will scold me heavily because I''ve already promised you without even discussing it with him!" said E feeling helpless. She knew her husband quite well. But J tittered, and said, "Don''t worry, mom! If you''ll say some soft words to him, and pretend to be angry, then he''ll soften his heart at once!" J was well aware how much her father loved her mother. Her father would surrender eventually if her mother began to be angry or say something soft to his ear. Their affectionate rtionship had been constant for many years and had never changed not even a bit. That was why J had a younger brother, John, who was many years younger than she was. "What are you talking about? OK, I''m not wasting any more time with you now. You always sweet-talk me into helping you out!" said E. Samuel had taken very good care of E, so she could keep looking young. Her face, which didn''t have a single wrinkle on it, now flushed red because of J''s words. When E was in her younger years, she also used to do things rashly. On L and Harry''s wedding ceremony, she had slipped into Samuel''s bedroom without him knowing... But then, eventually, she had to pay a great deal for her indiscreet action. Fortunately, after experiencing all of those difficulties, Samuel was now loving her very much and was taking good care of her in every way possible. "Mom, thank you!" said Janfet. "And you and father will travel all around the world one day, when I''ll earn a great amount of money all by myself!" Chapter 99 Nothing Will Ever Separate Us Chapter 99 Nothing Will Ever Separate Us E felt warm and smiled at her words over the phone, but she refused her daughter''s good intentions. "No, there''s no need, my child. Just take good care of yourself; I can travel around the world with your father, he''s given me enough money anyway! Don''t worry about us!" ''Also, John''s still a little baby, and we''re still OK!'' thought E. J then said, "Mom, is it right for you to show off your love with dad in front of me?" She admired E and Samuel''s love story, that of her sworn father and mother; Daisy, L and Lillian, each one of them had a beloved man that treated them very well. Her aunt as well; her uncle also treated her very well! ''Oh! I really hope that Daniel will pay close attention to them and treat me as well, ha ha...'' thought J. E tittered, and said over the phone, "It''s good for you to see us as the best example to follow. Oh, this is so sweet!" "Mom, you''re tricky! Fine, forget it, I can''t talk about it now. I''ll treat you with a big mealter!" said J. "OK! My beauty!" replied E. The two of them kept making fun of one another over the phone, and E could feel her daughter''s mood bing better and better. After she finished talking with her on the phone, E went back to the old house, and holding John in her arms, she told Samuel all about what J had told her. As was expected, Samuel instantly frowned, and said, "She''s still just a kid. How could you promise her that and allow her to act this erratically?" E rolled her eyes at her husband; she knew that he would not agree to it. "Samuel, your daughter is not a child anymore! She''ll turn 23 years old in theing spring, and what''s more, she also has Daniel now... It''s time to give her some space and privacy!" she continued. "If she lives alone and something dangerous happens to her, then what? She''ll be far from home and won''t be able to ask for for help!" said Samuel in a more severe tone. He definitely disagreed with the idea to let Jane move out of the house and live alone. E let out a sigh, and said, "She has studied abroad in America for so many years, and that turned out well with her. And as a matter of fact, because we''re not always at home, leaving Jane alone at the mansion is the same thing." She then went on, "You know I''m right with that! We''re always travelling, and she is living in the mansion all by herself! It makes no difference for her to move out!" Her husband was kind of stubborn, E looked at him helplessly and didn''t know anymore how to persuade him best. Then, she remembered what J had told her over the phone, and she put John on the bed and then turned around and held on to Samuel''s waist. "Honey, I''ve already promised Jane that I''ll ask Jerry and Sven to find a house for her. And of course, if she can live in the same apartment block or neighborhood with them, that will be fine, because they can look after her at all times, " said E. ''I have to try every mean to coax him, '' she thought. E''s voice then softened, and Samuel of course understood what his wife had in mind. She spoke with a sort of pretentious pout, which proved really effective and made Samuel soon fall to its charm. Samuel had no choice but had to agree with his wife. "Fine. I''ll dispatch some more bodyguards to her. But don''t forget, you''re just indulging her and spoiling her!" He then kissed his wife''s forehead tenderly. E tittered in his arms, "I''m indulging and spoiling Jane? You spoil her the most!" Hearing this, Samuel let out a heavy sigh, and said, "What''s the point of even spoiling her now? That ungrateful little girl! She still doesn''t want to talk with me! At least you''ll never give up on me, no matter what happens." ''My son will visit less and less, now that he has a wife and all. And my daughter doesn''t even want to talk with me after just one quarrel and wants to move out of the house. Hmm... My wife at least is the best and will never fail me, '' thought Samuel. E drew back her tittering face and then sternly stared at Samuel, and said, "We''ll be forever together, and nothing will ever separate us!" "Yes, I won''t leave you for the rest of my whole entire life!" promised Samuel. E then leaned on Samuel''s chest and listened to his heartbeats, grinning a sweet and happy smile on her face while she listened to the pounding rhythm. In the Southern Garden Complex J had just finished eating dinner and, sitting on the sofa, she browsed the Weibo posts on Daniel''s N?velDrama.Org holds this content. notebook. On Kate''s Weibo ount, she saw some newly updated posts advertising the project between the Changsheng Group and the SL Group. Changsheng Group''s share price was going up under the support of the SL Group. J felt anguished, and wondered what she could do to make Daniel give up Kate. She was just like his mistress now; Kate Song was his real girlfriend in public. She felt even more anguished when she thought of this. But things calmed down as the night steadily grew and the snow outside became heavier. J, wearing Daniel''srge white bathrobe, went to the balcony to contemte the beautiful night scene. It was already past eight o''clock and he hadn''t returned yet. Out in the distance, J saw a big screen on a high building, on which there was a piece of news broadcasting being aired. Though she couldn''t see clearly what the news was saying, she could see Kate holding Daniel''s arms on a stage while epting an award. He was emanating a graceful and strong aura, and she was confident and elegant; they really looked like a match made in heaven! When J saw this, she felt even more heart-broken, and moved her eyes away from the screen and left the balcony. Back in the bedroom, her phone rang. It was a WeChat messageing from Daniel, which read, "I''m The message all of a sudden made all of J''s sadness disappear and vanish into air. "No!" She typed a single word and then sent the message. Then, tying the bathrobe on her, she put on her slippers and went out the apartment''s door. Getting in the elevator, the woman looked at her own reflection in the elevator''s mirror. ''Oh, shit!'' she thought, ''My hair is falling all over my shoulders! I forgot to tie it up! Forget about it! Anyway, he''s seen me worse!'' Afterforting herself, when she reached the ground floor she got out of the elevator with a big smile on her face. Then, while walking out through the buildings'' automatic gate, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew on her. J couldn''t help but shiver, and started to feel silly of herself. She lowered her head down and looked at her bathrobe; she wondered who on Earth woulde out on a weather like this, dressed in a bathrobe and slippers, other than her... A Lamborghini car slowly stopped at the gates, and Spark came out and opened the backseat door. A tall man with a cold face got out of the car. "Eight o''clock, tomorrow morning. And bring the breakfast here on time!" ordered the man. Spark nodded to him, and answered, "Yes, Mr. Si!" Then he got back in the car. Suddenly, a figure ran towards Daniel, jumping with joy. When Daniel saw who the figure was, he grinned a smile and held the girl tight in his arms. When he saw that she was only wearing a bathrobe on her, he immediately took off his coat and put it on her. Again, he embraced her and heavily leaned and pressed against her on the Lamborghini car. Spark had just started the engine, but he hastily turned if off again. He closed tight his eyes, and dared not to look at the couple kissing affectionately outside the car. J hade down to wait for Daniel because she had grown bored up in the apartment and wanted to meet with him faster. But she didn''t expect that the man would help her with his coat, and... kiss her right there, without uttering a single word between them. The snowkes were floating down from the sky, and in the dim light of the street lights, a couple were kissing sensually leaned against a luxury car, which was really a hell of a romantic scene to witness. Daniel didn''t stop kissing her until the woman had finally grown so weak that she fell and leaned herself into his arms. He then lifted her up, and carried her into his arms as he strode towards the apartment building. Chapter 100 Because I Love My Childhood Playmate Chapter 100 Because I Love My Childhood ymate In the elevator, Daniel put down the woman for a moment and quickly pressed the top floor button. Then he leaned her back against the elevator''s wall and again kissed hard on her plump, red lips. He didn''t let her go not even when they arrived at the top floor and the elevator''s door opened. His kiss was so deep, so long, and so imperious, that for a moment she couldn''t breathe anymore and felt that she almost suffocated. J wanted to push him away, but the man held her so tight that she could hardly move an inch. Lucky for them, the whole top floor belonged to Daniel, and so they didn''t have to worry about meeting with acquaintances, or strangers. They kept kissing as they entered the apartment. It was warm inside, and Daniel took his coat off her body, randomly discarding on the floor. Then he brought her to the sofa and forced her to lie down on it. He then pressed her under him and untied the bathrobe off of her. It was quiet in the apartment, and only the puffing and blowing and moaning sounds of the couple could be heard. "Jane, I''ve missed you, " said Daniel. His warm breath fell straight into her ear. "Um..." The woman was slightly panting, and couldn''t utter one more word out of her mouth. But just one wording from her mouth was enough to make Danielpletely lose his rational sense. He fumbled his trousers and then took out a condom from his pocket... ''What? Why is he using a condom? Didn''t he say that he wanted me to have his baby some days ago?'' pondered J. She stopped the man''s move with her small hand, and asked him in a discontent tone, "Why?" Beads of sweat wereing out of Daniel''s forehead, and after he gave her a kiss on her lips, he exined, "You''ve not fully recovered yet, and I don''t want to hurt you again." ''I don''t want to hurt you, but I can''t control myself, so I can only try to reduce the amount of damage I''ll make'' thought Daniel. "I''m fine now!" said J. Daniel''s medicine had proven to be quite effective. "Be good, and listen to my words, " said Daniel. He didn''t want to harm her anymore. But the man''s insistence suddenly dispelled the woman''s good mood and feeling, and remembering what she had seen on the big screen earlier, she asked, "Are you afraid of leaving me pregnant? It will be difficult for you to face Kate, right?" The man stopped and was just about to throw away the condom, but in the end he thought that he couldn''t be as childish as this woman was, and instead continued to put it on. "Jane, it has nothing to do with her. If you don''t want to, I won''t touch you today. I can''t control myself, so I have to ease your pain at least." J chose to trust him this time, and then warmly gripped his neck with her creamy-white arms and pressed her lips against his in a deep kiss. Soon enough, the room was filled again with the charming aura of love. After finishing on the sofa, the man carried the woman into the bathroom, and asked her tenderly, "Jane, are you OK?" And he also took a small box into the bathroom. Closing her eyes, J nodded in a dazed, hazy state, while Daniel grinned a satisfied smile. He then filled the round bathtub with warm water and ced her in it. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. He also got in with her... When they came out of the bathtub, it was already one o''clock in the morning. Looking at the dazed woman, he took a bath towel and wrapped her in it. He then carried out and put her on the bed, and also helped her to dry her hair with the hairdryer. "Are you OK? Jane?" he asked. J thought that he had asked her whether it had hurt her or not, and so she shook her head, and said, "No! It doesn''t hurt." She was just only sleepy! The man pulled the quilt and crawled into it. "If it doesn''t hurt, then we''ll go on our usual." Then, he took something out from the box he had ced on the bedside table. J had nearly fallen asleep, and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Go on what?" Daniel gave her the answer by use of his actions. ... In the end, before J could finally sleep, she kicked the man sitting next to her, and said, "You beast!" She couldn''t stand the drowsiness anymore and instantly fell asleep. Hearing the word "beast", the man immediately turned around and pressed on her again. But after having a better look at her, he found that the woman had already fallen asleep. Staring at her how she was sleeping, Daniel suddenly burst intoughter and kissed her forehead. He held her in his arms and soon fell sound asleep. Next early morning The woman wrapped herself with the quilt and stood on the bed, resentfully staring at the man who was already dressed. "Daniel, I need clothes! My own clothes! I need to go to my cake shop! I want to go out! I''ll be bored to death if I stay here one more whole day!" shouted J. J kept jumping wildly on the bed. Daniel was fixing the diamond buttons on his sleeves; he squinted at her, and said, "You seem to be filled with energy today; this means that I didn''t work hard enoughst night!" ''What?'' J rolled her eyes at him, and as her face flushed red, she said, "Daniel, I want to go out today. Yesterday I got really bored inside here." The woman''s voice finally softened, and Daniel threw out a single word. "Wait, " he said. Then he grabbed his phone, dialed a number, and instructed, "Bring one set ofdy''s clothes, in M size, and and underwear in B... Actually, no, in C size, and bring them to the Southern Garden Complex. That''s it!" When the man ended his call, J crawled on the bedside close to him and stretched out her leg to kick him. "How do you know my size?" she asked, "And my underwear actually should be B!" she said. But Daniel gripped her leg and put it back into the quilt, and said, "I said it''s C, and that''s it!" ''We''ve already done it for several times now, and I would be such a failure if I didn''t know, '' thought Daniel. "What? Are you disliking it now? Is B size not enough for you?" said J discontentedly, as she curled her lips. If he dared to nod his head, she was getting ready to give him a shoulder fall. ''No! I''ll... bite him!'' thought J. But the man shook his head, which made J feel satisfied and happy. The man drew closer to her and supported his arms on each of her sides. Then, with an evil smile drawn on his face, he said, "Because I love my childhood ymate!" ''What?'' pondered J. She was confused by his words, ''Daniel and I... can be considered as childhood ymates, to a certain extent, '' she thought. "But you went to join the army and then you handled your own business in our teenage years. You''ve missed so many years growing up with me!" J said this in a proud tone. The man grinned his evil smile again, which made J think that she is looking at some sort of evil, but seductive, creature. Then he whispered to her in a low voice, "I can feel of a sense of achievement to y with you from small torge*!" (TN: This is a dirty joke revealed in the following chapter, so here use the words "small torge") ''Achievement?'' J was puzzled at his words. "What kind of achievements could you have? If we''ve yed together from small torge? Why do you have that sense of achievement?" asked J. J was confused by his words. The man again smiled like an evil, seductive creature... "Jane, you don''t need to understand it, you just need to be who you are!" said Daniel. He loved her silly and lovely look, and also loved her innocent, pure mind. He hoped she would always be the simple and innocent girl left forever under his protection. "No! You''ve aroused my curiosity! Now I''ll keep thinking about it the whole day even without even eating anything!" protested J. J really meant what she said; she had to have her curiosity satisfied when it was aroused. But at that very moment, the doorbell rang, and Daniel gave her a kiss on her red lips, and said, "I have to open the door." Then the man went away, leaving J alone sitting there and trying to figure out the meanings behind his words. Soon enough the man returned, and as he saw the woman''s more and more confusing look, he Daniel then took out one of his shirts from the wardrobe and handed it to J. Chapter 101 Ill Solve Everything Chapter 101 I''ll Solve Everything ''Never mind, '' she thought, ''If he still doesn''t want to say what it means, then I''ll ask my brother, sister inw, or Sven!'' J took the shirt from him and then went to wash and eat breakfast. J then changed into the clothes that the clothing store manager had sent and Daniel took her to the store. When they arrived at her shop''s door, J kissed him on his cheek and prepared to get out of the car. But the man gripped her wrist, and pulling her in front of him, he said, "Why are you so sketchy with me?" Then he lowered his head and gave the woman a deep kiss before letting her get out of the car. J eventually escaped, now fully understanding the six words "a beast in a human attire." It meant that a serious and indifferent man like Daniel, when he took off his clothes, acting just like a beast dressed in a human outfit. Then, she unconsciously took out her phone and sent a message to Daniel, saying, "Aren''t you afraid that your iron rod will one day grind into a feeble embroidery needle?" The message was followed by a couple of big smiles. J was standing in front of her shop''s door andughed hard. Daniel wanted to see her go in the shop and then immediatelye out. However, when he looked at his phone, his face became gloomy again. J wasughing hard, but suddenly stopped, because... "I will wait for you at the store''s doorter in the evening. Meanwhile, we can try and see how long it N?velDrama.Org holds this content. takes for my iron rod rod to grind into an embroidery needle in the car." Did he mean to have sex in the car... or at the store''s door? J quickly deleted the text she had just sent. After the screen showed that the erase was sessful, J breathed with relief, and then replied, "Daniel, you are so imperious. I said nothing, and you haven''t seen anything yet." "Toote, " he replied. ... J looked at the clear morning sky and tried to weep, but failed to shed a single tear. She saw the Lamborghini slowly driving away in the distance. In the morning, while J was busy in the shop, she suddenly heard a few of the girls chatting. "Hey, do you know about that CEO, Daniel Si? Of the SL Group?" "I''ve heard his name. I also heard he is super handsome, and very rich!" "I''ve seen him! Last time I saw photos of him and his girlfriend Kate on Weibo!" "Have you also heard what happened on Weibo? He trended on the Weibo headlines, and his name was searched so many times that the site could barely handle the traffic!" ... What? Daniel''s name was trending on Weibo? And it was because he had passionately kissed another woman. J quickly stopped what she was doing, took off her gloves, and then took out her phone. The content on the Weibo headline had been reported by a news agency: "Daniel, the president of the SL Group, kissed a woman downstairs at his private apartmentplex." The title made J''s heart beat faster. She clicked on the post and saw that it really was Daniel in the photo, holding and kissing her next to his Lamborghini. She felt relieved that people didn''t know who she was, because she had worn Daniel''s coat and her hair was loose. And it was also snowing at the time, and the handsome guy, along with the luxury car in the photo, made a beautiful picture. In total, there were nine big pictures, and in each J''s face couldn''t be seen, only Daniel''s, with his eyes closed. Thest one pictured Daniel with J in his arms, on their way to the apartment. Thements below the post were all wondering whether the woman was Kate. The news agency that published the news had already contacted Kate, and further information would soon be reported. ''Oh my god, this is awful!'' J felt guilty in an instant. Although she knew that most people couldn''t recognize her, she still felt guilty. When J was at a loss, Daniel called her directly. She quickly hid in a corner of the shop and answered the phone. "Daniel, what should I do? What if they know that it was me?" In addition to the shame, Daniel''s current, official, girlfriend was Kate, and so J would definitely be regarded as being his mistress. She didn''t want to... "Don''t worry, I''ve got them all!" Daniel didn''t think this was important. He thought it was just a trifle, but he was afraid that Jane would overthink it or be afraid. "How will you fix it in case... I''ll be regarded as the mistress?" J was now very depressed. She thought that she had spent a lot of effort to grow to like him, only now to be regarded by everyone else as his mistress. Hearing what she said, Daniel became furious. He told J sternly, word by word, "You are not my mistress. I''ll solve everything, and you should pretend that you don''t a thing about this!" The man''s voice was very warm, and his tone was very firm, which made J''s anxious heart calm down. "Okay, I believe you." "Well, there there. I heard that godmother said that you want to move out. Do you want toe and live with me?" He had a lot of property estates, so J could pick whichever one she wanted. But this time, J shook her head, and said, "No, because you are hunted by the media every day. What if they take a photo of the two of us..." Daniel understood what she meant, and said, "You just rx; that won''t happen again in the future." "You don''t have to worry about the house, I can get some help from my brother or Sven." When will he break up with Kate? J wanted to ask him this question, but when she thought about it, she was embarrassed. So she didn''t have the courage yet to ask him. "No way! Your brother is in love with Sally, and Sven also has a girlfriend. You don''t have to worry about the house, I''ll give you the answer tonight." Daniel then hung up the phone immediately before she could say no. Then he told Spark, "Call Kate. She knows what she has to do. First, delete all the online posts, and then go and invest in Lillian''s godmother''s magazine. Ask her to buy the news agency today, and then finally go and clean up my house at the Waterside Apartment." Initially, he had thought that the Southern Garden Complex was the most suitable for his needs, but now that the address had been exposed, Daniel didn''t want J to be bothered by the media, so he would offer her another house to live in. "Okay, Mr. Si." Spark wrote down all of his instructions and then executed the tasks. In the afternoon, J saw an online interview with Kate, where she personally admitted that she was the woman in the picture. Thements read, "Kate is definitely happy. When she''s kissed by the SL Group CEO, she must be happy, indeed!" "I am so envious of Kate. She has the best boyfriend, every girl wants to marry him!" "I wish their lovests forever!" ... J awkwardly closed thements. This had been Daniel''s solution, that Kate would admit the whole thing all by herself. She inadvertently opened the post again, and ament that was quickly pushed to the top almost made Jane smash her phone. "This doesn''t look like Kate. She looks like Samuel Shao''s daughter, J Shao!" The man had even found a photo of J''s back on her Weibo, which was taken by Sally and published long ago. The followingments wereing one after another, and read, "Have you seen the previous news? Daniel personally admitted that J is like a sister to him." "Hold on, it really looks like J!" "That''s nonsense. J''s boyfriend is Brian, Major Han!" Chapter 102 The Labor Force Cost Will Do As Payment For The Rent Chapter 102 The Labor Force Cost Will Do As Payment For The Rent "Why are you guys talking so much nonsense? Mr. Si''s real girlfriend already made it clear. You''re just overthinking things!" wrote anotherment. ... J patted her chest because her heart was beating too fast. Luckily, most of thements showed that people didn''t believe that the woman in the photo was really her. But, a short whileter, J still received phone calls from her group of acquaintances, such as: E, Sven, Sally, L, Lillian, and also her aunt... Except for her mother, sworn mother, and her aunt, J felt quite embarrassed to face her other rtives. Also, J''s cake shop''s business turnovers were continuously increasing because its owner was frequently involved in various rumors or gossips. Some paparazzi even started to follow J and hunt for new rumors about her. But all of them were stopped and shunned away by her bodyguards. When J had finished her work, a strange Audi car stopped at her cake shop''s door, just when she was opening it to leave; the man in the car was Spark. "Miss Shao, Mr. Si asked me toe and pick you up, " said Spark. J nodded to him and then sat in the back seat. "Where''s he?" asked J. Sparked smiled, and said, "Mr. Si is very busy today, and so he asked me to show you around the new house first; if you like it, I will help you with your luggage." J understood and nodded and then, without uttering another single word, she kept scrolling the Weibo news on her phone. J felt helpless and wondered why so many people were concerned and interested about her. More than ten minutester, the car entered into a rich neighborhood. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. J could see the yellow buildings ced around in the neighborhood, each with its own garden and each being surrounded by many green nts. Then, the car parked at Building No. 8 and Sparked guided her up to the 16th floor. When Spark opened the apartment''s door, a living room, which measured over one hundred square meters and which was arranged in the same style as Daniel''s other houses, in ck, grey and white color, came into J''s eyes. There were four bedrooms each facing south, and each with its own private bathroom. And there was also a kitchen which covered dozens of square meters, and a dinning room, with a wine shelf standing at its end. One of the bedrooms had been transformed into a gym room, and there was also a study room. To conclude, it had everything a house needed to have. But J found that each bedroom''s bed hadn''t been yet made, and there were no men''s clothes in the wardrobe, which indicated that Daniel didn''te here too often. "Miss Shao, do you like it?" asked Spark. He was standing in the living room''s center, smiling and looking at the woman who kept going about each room. J nodded, and replied, "I feel quite good here. How much is the monthly rent? Or did he want to sell it to me?" "Uh... Mr. Si didn''t mention about the rent, he only said that if you''re satisfied with it, you can move in whenever you want, " answered Spark. ''This Shao princess is so wealthy that she just wanted to buy the house. And she spoke it without giving it a second thought. Oh! I really admire her!'' thought Spark. "Then please call him and ask him; I really want to know, " demanded J. ''I''m now being suspected as being his mistress, and if I''ll live in his house without paying for it, then that''ll be the truth!'' thought J. Spark then took out his phone and asked J''s questions to Daniel. Daniel tittered, and spoke over the phone, "Tell her that thebor force cost will do as payment for the rent." He sighed and then shook his head. Daniel didn''t mean to look down upon J, and even if he would''ve wanted to sell her the house, she still couldn''t have afforded it all on her own. Unless she went and asked her father Samuel for help. But they were still upset on each other, and she would definitely never ask him for help. "Mr. Si, I told Miss Shao, and she said that she''s not able to do any housework, and she only knows how to enjoy food, not cook it. She asked if you really wanted herbor force as payment for the rent." Spark repeated J''s words to Daniel over the phone, bearing a smile on his lips. Daniel raised his eyebrow and thought that she was actually right. "Find a chef for herter, and also two hourly-paid house workers as well, " said Daniel. He continued, "Tell her that the apartment is now sold to her, and that the payment will be deducted as 10% from the profits of the new cake shop which is opening soon." Their partnership cake shop would soon be opened, and Daniel felt happy at the thought of it. "What?" Spark was shocked. ''10% of profits for an apartment in downtown...'' thought Spark. ''Why wasn''t I born a girl?'' Spark really wanted to live a second life as a girl! He soon came back to his senses and continued passing on their words over the phone. J, having not even the slightest concept about how much money 10% of the profit really meant, she asked Spark, "Did he mean that the profit share is 20% to him, and 80% to me now? And after it''s paid, the apartment will belong to me?" Spark gazed at her and nodded. ''My boss is chasing a woman with huge amounts of money without even giving her a second thought!'' thought Spark. J pped her hands and then pleasantly sat on the sofa. "Tell Daniel that we have a deal!" After Spark ended the call, he said to J, "Mr. Si also said that if you ever want to redecorate the apartment, or if you''re in need of anything, just tell him, and he''ll help you with everything." "OK. If I''ll need anything, I''ll tell himter. But right now, I want to go back home and move my things here, " said J. She then stood up from the sofa and went out of the apartment. With Spark''s help and that of some of the porters, J''srge cases of luggage were all sent to the Waterside Apartment Complex. It was already nine o''clock in the evening when they finished moving all of her things. J wiped away the beads of sweating off her forehead, and said, "Spark, let''s go! I''m treating you with a meal! What would you like to eat?" It hadn''t been an easy job for them to move all of J''s many things, clothes, and other items. Spark hastily shook his head and refused her. "No, Miss Shao. This was my job, I had to do it for you." ''If my boss ever knew that I had dinner together with his beloved woman, I would have to go and work in the logistics department the next thing tomorrow!'' thought Spark. But J took her handbag, changed her shoes, and said, "Please, don''t. You''ve worked so many hours for me tonight, and you haven''t had anything for supper, and that''s not good. Come on, let''s go. I''ll treat you with the Sichuan cuisine, what do you think about that?" Spark shook his head again, and said, "Miss Shao, please don''t thank me; deliver your thanks to Mr. Si, I''m just following his orders. I should go now. Goodbye!" Then J saw Spark quickly squeeze into the elevator and couldn''t stop him. ''Fine!'' thought J. Since there was no one going out with her for dinner, J decided to stay inside the house and to start tidying things around. Soon enough, the bedroom in the far right side of the apartment was filled by all of J''s things. She then took a piece of paper and wrote down a list of things she wascking that she needed to buy the following day. She was busy even after eleven o''clock, and she was almost so exhausted that she could barely stand up anymore, as this was the first time for her to work so hard. She put aside the unfinished things and went into the bathroom. When she came out of it, there was a man lying on her wide pink bed, which had been just made by her earlier. The man then suddenly spoke, and asked her, "Have you had dinner yet?" J was startled, but when she saw more clearly who the man was, she patted her chest, and said, "Daniel! You may not see me in this world anymore!" "Why?" "Why? Because you''re scaring me to death! You almost gave me a heart attack!" said J. She then slowly wiped her wet, long hair. Daniel put down his iPad, got off the bed, and walked up to her. "Did you tidy up the room all by yourself?" he asked. He had squinted his eyes at the messy room. "Yes! This was the first time that I''ve tidied a room all by myself! It turned out alright, right?" proudly asked J. But Daniel just kept looking at her with contempt in his eyes. Chapter 103 Decided to Live Here Chapter 103 Decided to Live Here "Have you had any dinner tonight?" Daniel had already heard from Spark that J wanted to have N?velDrama.Org holds this content. dinner with him, but that he rejected her offer. Therefore, Daniel had praised him. "No. I feel a little hungry now." J then went to the bathroom and nned to dry her hair. Daniel nned to follow her but noticed a piece of paper on the table: "Four-piece suit, dolls, cleanser, facial vaporizer..." It seemed to be the things she wanted to buy tomorrow, so Daniel put it in his pocket. He entered the bathroom and took the hair drier out of her hand, and said, "Let me help you. Later, I''ll take you out for dinner." "But, I haven''t finished tidying my room..." There were a lot of things that needed to be put in order, and it seemed that she couldn''t finish all of it in one single day! Daniel touched her wet hair and then began to dry it. "I will order a house worker to do it for you." She, just like all in her family, would not need to do heavy housework duties. What she had to do was what she really liked, and be free and happy. "All right! But didn''t I do a good job?" She turned her eyes to the bedroom, and found that without the help of her mother or of a house worker, it was actually... a total mess. ''I have left home and I am not a child any more. I have to learn to take care of myself!'' J thought to herself. "No, but you''ve tried your best!" Daniel didn''t know when he had lowered his standards so much. ''Okay! Now she could take it as a praise!'' J cheerfully touched the other side of her wet hair. After drying her hair, Daniel waited for her to change her clothes; after that, they went out to have dinner together. When they returned, Daniel went upstairs with her. But J kept him out of her bedroom on purpose, and said, "From now on, this is my room! You must be granted permission if you ever want to enter it!" Leaning on the door, the man smiled at her, and said, "You''re so proud of yourself, but as I remember, the shop isn''t open yet. So, technically, it''s still my ce!" "Well, you''re telling the truth! But anyway, I''m feeling happy today, so you''re permitted to enter, for now!" J gave way to him and Daniel entered. He changed his shoes, and said, "Thank you, Miss Jane!" J felt happy and contented. "Where will you goter? No. 9 vi? Or Southern Garden Complex?" "Guess!" He then turned her back on her and entered the wardrobe. Since he was already there, he wouldn''t leave so easy. J followed him and saw him taking off his coat. "You can use the wardrobe freely, " said Daniel. He had nothing against her sharing the wardrobe with him. He took a ck bathrobe from a hanger and then started unbuttoning his shirt. ''Wait, what does he mean with that? Does he n on living with me?'' "So, you mean that you''ve decided to live here, starting from today?" She carefully asked him. The man looked at her expression and then smiled to her, and J''s face flushed red. ''His smile is so handsome!'' She was in a daze. "You''re so smart!" Although the house was a little far from hispany, it wasn''t a big issue for him. He undressed in front of her and then put on his bathrobe. J was attracted by his body... "Jane?" ''How sweet his voice is!'' thought J. "Yes?" The man could not helpughing at her and dropped the belt. "You''re... drooling!" ... ''How... How could I be... drooling!'' She tried cleaning her mouth with her hands but... found nothing! She had been fooled! "Daniel, you rascal!" J then ran to him and bit his hand. But she was held by her waist and her lips became busy with something else. J, who was standing, was dragged inside the wardrobe. Their bodies, so close to one another, generated a hot air of love in the small room they were in. His kiss was rude and sensual, and J couldn''t breathe. He let her breath only when he let her lips free. But Daniel blew over her ears, and said, "I''ll show you what my childhood sweetheart really means..." What? Oh, yes! She had almost forgotten about that! "OK!" She held on to his neck, avoiding falling down from the cab she was sitting on. What Daniel said in her ears made her face flush a bright red. "There is a ce where I have... yed since childhood." She bit his chest, and said, "You''re a bad, bad guy!" But her bite made Daniel even more frenzied. He pressed her lips against his tight, and ced her on a case in the middle of the wardrobe. ... On the following day, as J arrived at the shop, Spark took a lot of new clothes and other necessities to the Waterside Apartment. As well as the other objects she had listed on the piece of paper. "Spark, go and buy all these dolls and cups, and bring them to the Waterside Apartment." "OK. Boss Si, will you take part in the charity meeting tonight, co-held by the Dai Company and the government?" Spark then checked his schedule. Daniel put down his iPad, and frowned, "Contact Kate. I will attend it with her." "OK, Boss Si." At Jane''s Cake Shop J, who was ying on her phone, heard one of her workers call out to her. "Boss, someone is here for you!" "Who?" When she said that, she received a message from Sally. She then replied to Sally on her phone, "I will beat my brother!" Jerry would be taking part in a charity meeting alongside a woman, but why not with Sally? She had also received an invitation letter for that meeting, but she had ced it somewhere days ago. Before this, she had met with Doris Dai for several times, but she didn''t n on going because she wasn''t acquainted enough with Doris Dai. But now, she had decided to look for her invitation letter and to deal with her brother and his bitch once and for all! "Her family name is Zheng, boss! She said she was your ssmate!" said the worker. His words shocked J. She hastily closed her phone and rushed out. Was that really Shirley? "Shirley!" J rushed to her cheerfully and gave her a hug. Chapter 104 Doesnt He Love You Back Chapter 104 Doesn''t He Love You Back Shirley also happily hugged her. "J, let me have a look at you!" J dragged her to a seat and then picked for her some of the best-selling cookies her shop had. "J, you''re more beautiful than ever! Your face is shining, just like... you''re in love with someone!" After tasting the Tiramisu, Shirley looked at her even more closely. Yes, she was in a good mood and she looked very shiny. ''She must surely be in love with someone!'' Shirley thought. J''s face then turned red when she remembered of him. She sighed, and said, "I''m not in love with anyone, but actually I just... fell in love with someone." Shirley stopped eating, and said, "Fall in love with someone? Doesn''t he love you back?" ''How could he not love back this cute little girl?'' J held her face in her hands and shook her head. "I don''t know, " she said. ''I can''t figure out whether he loves me or not. If he doesn''t, why is he with me every night? But if he does, why does he have another girlfriend. Maybe I''m just his bed-friend. Oh, how pathetic!'' "Who is he? Is he that CEO you mentioned ofst time?" Shirley had crossed out all the CEOs she had seen on the TV. None of them would match J, except for Daniel. He already had a girlfriend. That was impossible! It was said that he was like his brother. ''But who is he?'' pondered Shirley. "Let him go. Let destiny have it''s way." J forced herself to forget about him in her mind. She then turned to Shirley, and said, "Why are you doing here?" Shirley smiled, and said "I came just to visit you, and to know about how you''re doing these days. You''re the boss of the shop, and it seems that you run it pretty well!" "I try my best! I''m very busy most of the time. Shirley, how about bing my manager next year?" Although Daniel had employed her as the manager, she thought she need one more. "Really? Me? Be your manager? But I haven''t worked a day since I graduated. I won''t handle the pressure!" Shirley shook her head and rejected J. ''But the Tiramisu is really good...'' she thought. When she was in the university she had shared a room with J, but they had majored inpletely different fields. She had majored in Enterprise Management, and the school had already offered her a job in this field, but she had to reject it because of her then uing marriage. "So what? You majored in Enterprise Management, and you can learn from the another manager. I believe you can do it." J had no experience in management, so the shop was always a mess. But now it was better, since Daniel had found her apetent manager. Shirley was moved by J''s offer because she had tried to find a job in the past, but had found nothing suitable for her skills in return. "So, how about having a go at it next year?" She tried her best to agree with J''s offer. J held her hands happily on hers, and said, "Okay, okay. You''re talented, and if it weren''t for Walter..." She immediately stopped speaking when she saw Shirley''s face changing. "I... Shirley... I shouldn''t have mentioned him. I''m sorry." She said this unintentionally, and she couldn''t imagine how much had Walter really hurt Shirley. Shirley looked at the fork in her hand and then shook her head. "I don''t know what happened to Walter after. I only saw him once at the gates of my house, warning everybody that passed by not to bully my family..." "That might be because he turned good. But Shirley, how are you now?" J didn''t mention that she had beat Walter quite seriously, and instead just cared about Shirley''s current health for now. ''What a pity. A baby was gone, just like that.'' "I''m fine now. J, are you busy? You can take care of your business if you have to; I''ll be waiting for you right here." Seeing that there were so many customers in the shop, and that the waiters were so busy with so many tables, Shirley had decided not to disturb J anymore. But J shook her hands in the air, and said, "No, I only make desserts out back. And for now, there should be enough desserts left. Eat up your Tiramisu; after, I will make you a soymilk box." Shirley looked at J movingly. How lucky she was to be such good friends with a girl like J! She picked a cloth bag from the ground, and said, "J, these are some fresh vegetables that were nted by my mother and a home-fed chicken. Would you mind..." Initially, she didn''t even want to bring them here because J was really rich, and because she thought that this kind of gifts were improper to give to a girl like her. "Wow, nted by your mother. They must be natural. Awesome! And the chicken... Wow! It''s alive!" J was dumbfounded when she saw the live chicken and wondered how could she eat it alive like it was. But J showed no kind of dislike, only surprise because of the live chicken. Shirley felt moved, and said, "Yes, this is also fed by my mother. You can take it home and ask the cook to cook it!" "OK, but my parents are now living in the old house now, and the cook there was fired by my grandmother! But it''s OK, anyway. My grandmother could cook it! I''ll take it to her! Thank you, Shirley!" J took her hand and happily kissed it. They two chatted for a long time after, and then J took Shirley to the old house by a taxi. In the old house, Melody and Vi were caring for John, who ran towards J the second he saw her. "Sister!" J hugged her brother and kissed his cheek. She asked him, "John, did you miss me?" John nodded eagerly, and said, "Yes!" "Good boy. Grandmother! Grandmother! My ssmate is here!" J dragged Shirley to the dinning room while also holding John in her arms. Vi greeted her happily, and said, "Jane''s ssmate, have a seat at the table please." "Grandmother! Good morning, I''m Shirley, a former ssmate of J''s." She genteelly introduced herself to the elders. Melody nodded cheerfully, and then said, "Have a seat please. You must be the Shirley that J has Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. always mentioned about! The talent!" "Yes, grandmother! She is was really good at learning, and she always got good grades in our university!" Hermitment had made J admire her a lot. Shirley sat on the sofa and lowered her head because she was shy. "Grandmother, how are you?" "Oh, I''m fine!" "Where are all the other people?" Vi had went to prepare some fruit while J looked at the second floor doubtfully. "Your grandfather went to visit his old friend and your parents went to buy John something, " answered Melody. In the afternoon they left the old house, and J drove her Mercedes downtown with Shirley. "Your great-grandmother and grandmother are so kind!" Shirley was honest. When they were just about to leave, Vi made sure to put several boxes of tonic inside J''s car. They were for Shirley''s parents. Chapter 105 This is on My Uncle Chapter 105 This is on My Uncle J nodded, "I agree. Well, Shirley, stay overnight and I''ll take you to a nice ce!" Shirley had arrived just in the nick of time when she needed a partner. J took Shirley to her uncle''s hair salon and they both had their hair done. While choosing a dress to wear, Shirley was stunned by the thousands of dresses hanging in the disy hall. "Shirley, how about you wear this yellow one?" J had already picked an off-shoulder dress with a white vest for Shirley to wear. Shirley then blushed, and shook her head. "Well, J, actually I have no idea. I''ll dress in whatever you select for me." J wanted to take her to a charity ball in the evening. She had never been to such an event. J then picked several more dresses to let her try on. She also chose a pink one and a red one for herself, and got into the same fitting room as Shirley was. "J, why don''t you try on more?" When he heard that his niece hade to the shop, Eason quickly finished his work and then went downstairs. J stood before the mirror dressed in a pink dress, letting the designer help her adjust the vest. She answered protesting, with her hands pping, "Never mind, help my sister-inw instead. It doesn''t matter what I wear." "Well, what''s wrong?" Eason now sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, curiously looking at his niece. "Haven''t you heard?" J then walked towards Eason with her dress hemline winding along the way. "Jerry will take his old schoolmate to the charity, not my sister-inw. Is he insane? Let''s see how she looks like. If she dares to have designs on my brother, I will definitely kick her block off!" Actually J felt a little bit guilty because, to some extent, she intervened in between Daniel and Kate. Eason chuckled, and said, "Your brother is an honest man. He would never do such an outrageous thing!" "My brother? An honest man? Well, uncle, I think you''re utterly wrong here. When he was still in school he always fantasized about fighting with father!" Jerry and Samuel had never got along with each other. And Eason knew this well. He threw up his hands, and said, "But have they ever really fought? Not even once." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. That was quite true. After thinking for a while, while tilting her head, J said, "I''m sure that din''t happen because I was there to soothe father for his sake. I always saved his skin!" Easonughed, "Yeah, you''re the man. Your father only listens to you and your mom!" Everyone knew that Samuel doted on J! When he saw Shirley, J''s eyes were gleaming with surprise! The sky blue winter evening dress highlighted well her snow-white skin and its rosy red blush on her face. Together,bined with her light makeup, she looked just like a debutante. "Uncle, select some jewelry to match this beauty in front us, please. Come on, hurry!" Surely there must be a couple of golden bachelors present at the event this evening. Maybe she could finally pick a reliable one for Shirley. Eason hastily called for someone to fetch a set of tinum jewelry beautifully decorated with diamonds. When she saw the jewelry in the open brocade box sparkling under the light, Shirley waspletely stunned beyond words. They must''ve been really valuable. "No, J... Thanks, but I''m already okay!" J walked to Shirley and helped her put on the ne. "It''s okay, just take it, my uncle is generous all the way. Anyway, this is all on uncle!" Easonughed, and said, "Well, well, youngdy. as if! I''ll have your father clear up all this for you!" While the two were kidding, Shirley took the joke seriously and refused to wear the jewelry. "Shirley, never mind us, uncle was just kidding. He''s rich, this is just another small piece of cake for him!" J did not give Shirley a single chance to refuse, insisting on putting both the bracelet and earrings on her. Finally, she also picked a pink pearl set for herself to match her tone-in-tone dress. "Uncle, we''re leaving! Charge all the expenses to Samuel!" Although she was still in a cold war with her father, she still felt shameless to ask him to pay for the bill. After all, she went to the charity just for his daughter-inw. Eason waved his hand, "OK, bye bye. Never mind the money!" "Thank you! You''re the best, uncle Eason! Bye now!" Then, J pulled Shirley out of her uncle''s shop. Watching the Mercedes drive away, Eason shook his head and thought how she always had been a little mischievous girl. A moment of silence for the man who would marry her! At the Cristen Hotel Celebrities dressed in costly outfits came out of the luxury cars stopped at the hotel''s gates and walked gracefully inside the hotel. A Mercedes stopped slowly, and J got out of the driver''s seat. She then walked with Shirley, who was dressed in her blue dress, down towards the hotel. Several journalists outside the hotel were taking pictures of the present guests. But J didn''t like journalists at all, and so she trotted ahead with Shirley. When they arrived, there were already many people there. J hadn''t been in C country for a long time, and she looked around the unfamiliar faces with confusion in her eyes. There was not a single acquaintance of hers, and her brother didn''t seem to have arrived yet. But just then, a fatty girl wearing a light green dress walked towards J. "J!" The girl, holding a cup of champagne in one of her hands, smiled at J. After looking carefully at her, J recognized that the fatty girl was Doris Dai, the Dai Group CEO''s second daughter. "Hi, Doris! How are you?" She remembered that Doris had been in the same university with her, but in a different department. Doris then wisecracked with a smile, "J, please feel like home. I had already asked my dad to invite you here." She liked J very much. One year ago, when she had been robbed, it was J who had helped her track down and beat the two foreign robbers! Since then, she had started to notice J, and found that they had simr personalities and tastes. After she returned home, she was constantly busy with her internship at her father''spany, and she didn''t have any time to contact J anymore. But when she had heard that J had opened a dessert shop, she asked her father straight away to order a batch of desserts and specialties from her. She was one of the top three customers, and so she had received one of the limited edition dolls, which was now sitting safely in her bedroom. "Thank you. Actually, I am here for my brother!" J pulled Doris close to her and whispered into her ear. Seeing J, Doris couldn''t stop giggling, and thought that she was still as cute as she was back in school. "Okay, I''ll keep an eye." She knew that J''s brother was Jerry, the famous internationalwyer. "Thanks. Oh, this is my friend, Shirley. She was also in our university too." Chapter 106 Birds of A Feather Flock Together Chapter 106 Birds of A Feather Flock Together Shirley and Doris greeted one another, and after Doris handed a ss of champagne to Shirley, she said, "I know you... You were the savant of the enterprise management department in our college, weren''t you?" Shirley was a little embarrassed, and muttered, "That''s all in the past, we''ve all graduated now." ''There''s no use in studying well if you don''tnd a good job, '' she thought. While the three girls were chatting, a couple appeared at the door of the hotel, which immediately attracted everyone''s attention. All thedies there felt excited while J''s face just turned pale. The man was dressed in an expensive suit and wore on his feet a pair of brown, Italian handmade, leather shoes. He looked cool, elegant, and filled with charm. The woman who held his arm wore a long white evening dress, with a nice waistcoat made out of fox fur on her shoulders. A happy smile was drawn all over her delicate face. Shirley was excited, and she held J''s hand at the first sight of Daniel. "J, is that Daniel Si?" "Yes, he is." J then drank a mouthful of champagne. Shirley didn''t notice or feel her awkwardness, and couldn''t help but to admire Daniel further. "He''s so handsome!" Even if you nced at him from a distance, he was still fascinating! Daniel''s appearance made a tumult among the many celebrities present. Most of them ask their parents or partners to take them to greet him. "Yeah, he is handsome." J stared at the man who was greeting Mr. Dai. ''He took his real girlfriend out in public, huh?'' Doris was called by her father to greet with Daniel, and J suppressed her anger and began to look around for Jerry. Shirley then suddenly remembered of the day when she, together with J, had returned to China. The man who had picked J up had seemed to be Daniel. "J, is Daniel really your sworn brother?" "Yeah. Well, kind of." J took another mouthful of champagne. ''Where did my brother go?'' she thought. ''Why is Daniel everywhere I go?'' Shirley couldn''t move her eyes from Daniel. She didn''t know why so many women were chasing Daniel until she saw him in the flesh. I wasn''t umon that women were crazy about Daniel. A man like Daniel was born with a certain fascinating character. He was overbearing, honorable and outstanding... He left the people around him breathless. "Do you like your sworn brother?" Shirley had asked J while her eyes were fixed on Daniel. J nced at Daniel again. She wanted to say yes, but it was not the appropriate thing to do in this situation. She gnashed her teeth, and answered, "No, I don''t like him." And Shirley felt relieved at her answer. Jerry then finally appeared at the party. Beside him stood a short hair girl dressed in a golden evening dress and with a painted face. J couldn''t stop herself when she saw them. She pulled Shirley away and stepped forward towards them. Jerry was quickly rounded by the people who wanted to greet him. J pull the girl by her hand, and asked her, "Who are you? What''s your problem?" asked the girl. Milly Xie looked at the cute... but furious girl with confused eyes. Jerry saw his sister and then excused himself to those who were greeting him; he then talked to her. "Jane!" "Jerry, why is she here?" J asked. She then pointed her finger at Milly. This attracted many people''s attention. "Jane, you''ve misunderstood everything. Milly is just my schoolmate. I came across her by ident." Jerry lowered her stretched fingers. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "So you left Sally all alone at home just because of her?" Just like Daniel had left her for his real girlfriend. Jerry looked at his sister helplessly. "Come on, we just came here together." Milly walked to Jerry''s side and then held his arm. "Hi, I''m Milly Xie, a good friend of Jerry''s, " she said. Milly was familiar with the name Jane, but she couldn''t recall for the moment who she was. She thought that it was best not to offend her in any way before she got to know who she really was for Jerry. "A good friend?" J sneered at her, and continued, "Why didn''t I hear of you from Jerry?" What she said was true; she had never heard Jerry speak of a woman named Milly. Milly felt a little embarrassed. ''Who the hell was this girl?'' she thought. "I went to Italyter, and I wasn''t at home too often." That meant that she did not contact Jerry often when she was abroad. At that very moment, a couple came to them arm in arm. Shirley''s heart raced immediately at the sight. ''God! Daniel is much more handsome at a closer distance.'' While J ignored them, she said to Milly, "You don''t have to exin yourself. Just leave Jerry. You, or Jerry, need to leave here, right now." "Knock it off!" said Jerry. He then pulled his sister back to his side to talk to her. "Jerry, how could you be such an asshole? How could youe with another woman when you already have a girlfriend? Oh, that''s right, I know. Birds of a feather flock together!" She was referring to someone. Apart from Shirley and Milly, they all knew who she was talking about. As soon as she said this, someone with a zing gaze in his eye looked at her. "What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful woman before?" J''s words made Daniel look even more grave. Shirley was shocked because she saw that J had rolled her eyes at Daniel. And so did Milly. Who was this woman, and how could she dare talk to Mr. Si like that? Daniel frowned. ''Who triggered her again?'' he pondered. "J, have you eaten bombs again?" Daniel put the awful ss wine aside and asked her with a faint voice. But J snorted at him, "I just feel angry that there are so many assholes living in the world." Jerry smiled helplessly; her bad temper was pampered by himself. But Kate wanted to save Daniel''s honor. "Daniel is not an asshole. He is very good to me." "Good?" J looked at Kate. She was in such a fury today that she couldn''t possibly let go of this woman so easily now. Kate nodded. She knew that Daniel liked J, but she didn''t know how far they had really gone. As long as Daniel didn''t break up with her, she still had the confidence in her to win his heart from the capricious woman standing in front of her. "Well. I didn''t say Daniel was. Why did Miss Kate say that? It seems that your girlfriend is also good to you." Kate''s face turned pale immediately after she heard her words. J looked at Daniel, and then smiled at Kate, and said, "Can I ask Miss Song how good your boyfriend is to you?" Chapter 107 Everyone Knows She Is Major Hans Girlfriend Chapter 107 Everyone Knows She Is Major Han''s Girlfriend "This is only between the two of us, and it''s our privacy. You''d better mind your own business, " answered Kate. "Privacy?" doubted J. Almost immediately she wore a brighter smile on her. Daniel suddenly got a bad feeling in his gut and was just about to leave with Kate. J let go of Shirley and then grasped Kate to stop her from leaving. "Miss Song, wait, " said J. Kate felt the paining from her tight grasp, and so she firmly shook her off. J, who was in high-heeled shoes today, then fell backwards, but Shirley caught her in time. But Shirley was also in high-heeled shoes, and she also fell backwards after she caught J. "Shirley!" shouted J. Shocked, she stared at Shirley, who was about to fall down, with a nk stare in her eyes. She tried to catch her, but a man had already caught Shirley ahead of her. Everyone was now relieved. Shirley then looked at the man who had caught her, and his handsome face had almost taken her breath away. Daniel frowned in disgust at the woman who was staring at him in his arms. If she hadn''t been J''s friend, he would have never saved her from the fall. He let her go, took out a handkerchief from hispel pocket, and then wiped his hands. Then he immediately threw the handkerchief into a trash nearby. Shirley quickly came back to her senses after seeing his behavior, and she whispered to him, "Thank you, Mr. Si!" J tugged at Kate, and said, "You need to apologize to Shirley!" Kate dismissively nced at Shirley, and said, " Why? It was your fault in the first ce. You grasped me first!" ''J, you are brainless. It''s a charity party, and all of the upper-ss is here. Why are you making trouble again?'' thought Kate. What happened before had already attracted many looks. Now, they were even more people staring at them. "You''ve provoked me, and now you want to leave like nothing ever happened? Kate, this isn''t fair, and you know it!" said J. J would never let off anyone who bullied her, ever. Moreover, Kate asked for it first. Kate was well aware that this was not the right time to start a conflict with J. So she looked at Daniel, and said, "Daniel, let''s go and take a seat. The auction will soon begin!" But her heart sank when he frowned on what she said. She seemed to underestimate how much J really meant to Daniel. She then took a deep breath and put on a fake smile on her face, and said, "J, I''m sorry. What I was trying to say is that Daniel is nice to me, and certainly I didn''t mean to offend you in any way. Please, don''t be mad!" ''Just listen to her insinuating remarks. Well, well, well, now I feel ufortable. She''s saying that I made a big fuss out of nothing, but she knows that she asked for it, '' thought J. "I''m not satisfied with your apology!" said J tly. On hearing J''s reply, Kate furtively cursed her in her thought for being so ungrateful. She then turned to Daniel, and said, "Daniel, I have apologized to her, but it seems that J is not at all satisfied with this." With a jeer on her face, J looked at Kate who was feigning weakness, and said, "Why don''t you quit your job as a CEO and marry Daniel? You can then be a wife, and a mother, at home, and without any care in the world!" ''It''s said that Kate is assertive and has a CEO style of speaking. Where is her style now? It''s true that people really be humble when in love. She loses herself whenever she''s with Daniel. And even if she doesn''t, she''ll be overwhelmed by Daniel''s powerful momentum, '' thought J. Kate blushed when she heard what J had just said. "That will be nice, eventually, " she said. ''Then I won''t need to stay upte for work or entertain my clients...'' thought Kate. Daniel then cast a sharp nce at J, and thought, ''Do you think I''m dead? Why are you speaking without even thinking first, Jane?'' "Miss Song, do you know that your boyfriend..." said J. When she noticed Daniel''s piercing gaze, she took a step forward and stood even more closer to Kate. Kate, however, out of reflex, stepped back a few paces to stay away from her. ''She is a witch, '' thought Kate, ''I should stay as far away from her as possible!'' But J dismissively sneered at her reaction. ''She is too timid to be a CEO. Maybe she became a CEO because of Daniel''s strong support!? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. That exins why she didn''t leave Daniel, even if he has an affair with me!'' thought J. "Jane, take your friend over there and have a seat!" said Daniel in a soft, low voice. His eyes glittered with a smile when he saw Kate being startled by J. Jerry also turned to J, and said, "Jane, go and take a seat. Whatever you want, I will buy it for you after the auction ends!" J then squinted at Milly, and pretended to ask in surprise, "Eh, why are you still here?" However, feeling embarrassed, Milly cast a nce at her. ''I''ve also been here all the time!'' thought Milly. J looked straight at Jerry. Suddenly, her expression shifted and seriously beckoned her private bodyguards. Two bodyguards walked straight to her, and respectfully saluted, "Miss Shao!" J then pointed at Milly, and arrogantly said, "The auction will begin soon. Please throw her out, I don''t want her to ruin my evening!" ''You knew Jerry is married but you still hooked up with him. You are such a bitch! I already politely asked you to leave, but you didn''t listen. Now I have to resort to brute force, '' thought J. She was now as overwhelming as a queen, but not in an annoying way! The bodyguards awkwardly looked at their another master, Jerry. Jerry, feeling embarrassed, had to ask Milly to leave, and said, "How about you go back for now. We''ll catch upter." The strange staresing from all the onlookers nearby had made Milly want to hide herself inside the ground. She then decided to shed all pretenses of cordiality, nced at J, and said, "Who are you? And why do you mind Jerry''s business?" As her voice faded away, a few people suddenlyughed at her. People then began to whisper, which happened to answer her questions. "She didn''t even recognize Samuel''s daughter. How did she have the nerve to attend the auction in the first ce?" "She muste from a really poor ce! J has been the top trend on the entertainment news recently. Everyone knows she is Major Han''s girlfriend." "She didn''t even knew that J is Jerry''s sister. How ridiculous it is that she hooked up with him without even knowing a thing about him!" "Ha, ha, ha." ... Milly then finally recalled that Jerry had told her about his sister J before. But now it was toote for her to mend the broken situation. "You don''t need to know who I am. You just remember that Jerry is married to Sally! Don''t ever try to be his mistress!" said J. She felt guilty every time she uttered the word ''mistress''. Finally, Jerry secretly sighed, and said, Milly, go home. Now!" ''Don''t you see that my sister is furious and hellbent?'' he wondered. Feeling embarrassed, Milly her purse and then walked out of the hotel. Afterwards, J gave her brother?a judgmental?stare, and said, "Jerry, Sally is easy-going, but you cannot let her down like this!" ''Sally is easy-going?'' Jerry doubted it. Chapter 108 She Kicked the Back of the Chair Chapter 108 She Kicked the Back of the Chair ''You are so simple! As a sister, you worry about me having a mistress. Let alone Sally... I have a lot of exining to do after the auction!'' thought Jerry. "Go and take a seat!" he said. He put his arm around her shoulder and then walked towards the seats together. As they were about to pass Kate, J stopped, and said, "Kate, if you dare to provoke me again, I will make you feel even more miserable than Milly!" "You!" started Kate. But, seeing them quickly leave, she was too mad to say a single word more in reply! ''This damn woman! She makes childish mistakes everyday. I can''t figure out why Daniel likes her so much!'' wondered Kate. What made her more angry was the fact that Daniel had turned a blind eye on the humiliation she had received from J. If her boyfriend hadn''t been Daniel, she would have never allowed herself being humiliated like that ever! Jerry took J to the third row of seats and sat down. She was seated between Jerry and Shirley. "Jerry, never contact Milly again!" demanded J. She then shot him a powerful judgmental nce. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. But Jerry just smiled at her, and said, "Jane, you worry way too much. She is just a friend, I didn''t cheat on Sally." "No means no! You''re married, and it was wrong to bring another woman to the auction!" answered J. Her bossy attitude made Jerry feel really sorry for Daniel. How could Daniel, who was also bossy, overwhelm her? "I got it, sister. Anything else you''d like? I''ll buy it for you, like I said!" replied Jerry. J looked at her brother, and said, "Jerry, you should buy it for Sally instead, not for me. Do you understand me?" ''My brother is so unromantic. How does Sally put up with him everyday?'' wondered J. "Sally?" asked Jerry. ''Well, Sally will definitely quarrel with me after this auction is over. she''s right, I have to buy something as a gift to please her, '' thought Jerry. "What do you think she likes best? I''ll buy itter, " he asked. ... "Jerry, don''t you know what kind of stuff your wife likes?" asked J. She felt even more desperate now. On a second thought, Jerry replied, "She almost has your tastes. Whatever you like, she might like it as well." ... "Jerry, if Sally dumps you one day, don''te to me running in tears!" said J. She felt stifled now. ''His character must be deeply influenced by his career as awyer. He was not as dull as he is now when he was little!'' thought J. When the auction was about to begin, Doris found J, and sat next to Shirley. "J, what happened?" asked Doris. She had been in the washroom and heard that something happened. J felt embarrassed and scratched her head. Just at the moment, a couple sat down in front of her; it was Daniel and Kate. She really wanted to kick their chairs. "Nothing. Did we cause you any trouble? If so, I''m really sorry, " apologized J. The stir they caused all of a sudden made her feel apologetic towards Doris. However, Doris smiled with two dimples showing on her face, and said, "It''s OK, but it''s just a pity to miss all of these dramatic scenes." Feeling embarrassed, J smiled back, and said, "It wasn''t dramatic at all. Thank God we didn''t cause you any trouble!" At that moment Doris''s father, Mr. Dai, stepped on the stage and began to deliver an opening speech for the auction. He introduced all the present VIPs, and Daniel was the first on his list. Daniel nodded to him when he heard his name. Soon the first lot was disyed. "The first lot is an idyllic oil painting, created by the French painter Pord. The starting price is ten thousand dors! All of the sale proceedings for today''s auction will be donated to a welfare home in the west of the city and to a nursing home. The auction begins!" dered the host. After this, two security guards wearing gloves carried out the painting and disyed it on the stage. Soon, people begun to bid for it, "$ 20, 000!" "$ 40, 000!" "$ 60, 000!" "$ 100, 000!" ... The price had already risen to half a million, and by now J felt sleepy in her chair. At that moment, Kate also began to bid, "$ 1, 000, 000!" The crowd gasped in surprise. They murmured, "It''s no wonder that she is Boss Si''s girlfriend. What a price!" "Boss Si is rich. Don''t worry! One million means nothing to him!" ... Shirley couldn''t help looking at the man sitting in front of them. J, however, dismissively closed her eyes. She had sore eyes every time she saw Kate. Perhaps it was just as the saying goes, that when enemiese face to face with each other, their eyes ze with hatred! The price had now risen to 4 million dors, and Kate bid again. "5 million dors!" J couldn''t help but open her eyes, and when nobody was paying attention to her, she kicked the back of the chair of the man sitting in front of her. Daniel shook a little from the kick, but he smiled and decided to ignore her. ''You''ve also totally ignored me before, haven''t you?'' thought Daniel. Finally, Kate won the bid for the oil painting at the price of five million dors. Everyone cast envious res at Kate, which made J feel stifled. Kate had bid on the painting; why should Daniel pay for it? The second item was a famous square gray tea cup, which was produced in Ge Kiln during the Song Dynasty. J now closed her eyes again. "Item number two: we start the bid at one million dors! Start!" dered the host. The price of the famous product from Ge Kiln had risen almost immediately at 2 million dors. And it kept rising by the minute. "Eight million dors!" cried Kate. She had bid again! J suddenly opened her eyes furiously. ''Daniel, are you deaf? Why do you allow her to waste your money!'' wondered J. "Ten million dors!" "It''s Boss Si''s girlfriend again. She is really cool!" "Boss Si is rich. He won''t blink even she wastes one hundred million!" "Kate is so lucky to have such a rich boyfriend!" ... J kicked the back of his chair again, but Jerry and Doris noticed it this time. Shirley was focusing on the fine ancient art, totally ignoring J. Jerry then held J''s arm, and said, "If you like something, you can bid. I will buy it for you!" ''Why is she so annoyed!'' he wondered. ''Like? I don''t like any of these items. I''m pissed because Daniel has to pay for them, '' thought J. She was going crazy, but Daniel was just sitting there pretending that nothing was happening. For a while she thought, ''You dare to turn your back on me whenever we''re not having sex. Well, I will turn my back on you too then!'' Finally, Kate won the tea cup for the price of twenty million dors. The third lot was a legendary luminous pearl the size of a baby''s fist, which drew J''s attention instantly. "The third lot is a rare, natural luminous pearl. We''ll start the bid at... Fifty million dors!" dered the host. The sound of the item''s price had brought on a storm of whispers in the room. Kate clenched her fist at the price. Chapter 109 Boss Si and Miss Shao Bear a Grudge Chapter 109 Boss Si and Miss Shao Bear a Grudge To everyone''s surprise, a female celebrity standing not far from them opened her mouth, and said, "Sixty million!" Many of the people there recognized her; she was actually the wife of some famous oil tycoon. "Jerry, could we really win this bid?" J had no idea of how much money her family really had. She whispered in Jerry''s ears, hoping to get his support. Jerry gave her a loving nce, and said, "Bit whatever you want!" He then looked thoughtful at the precious jewelry on disy. "Eighty million!" The moment J made her first bid, she became the center of attention for everyone present in the room. Shirley looked at her in disbelief. ''Eighty million...'' "The Shao''s daughter finally made a bid. What an overwhelming sum!" "Yeah, she is way more daring than Kate!" ... By making her bid this high, J had definitely stolen Kate''s enthusiasm. However, things took a sharp turn as Daniel opened his mouth firmly, and said, "One hundred million." On hearing his bid, J became furious. She felt as if she had a lump shoved down her throat! He dared to back up his girlfriend and belittle her! "One hundred and fifty million!" J had now thrown all caution away to the winds! She was confident that Jerry and her father would back her up with the money. The whole venue was suddenly quiet. Thepetition between the two super rich people was fierce! However, J seemed to be overconfident with herself by confronting Daniel, who had made most of his fortune through his own hard work... "Two hundred million!" Daniel''s voice was still firm and proud, and Kate seemed to be worried as she lowered her head and whispered something to his ear. She wanted him to y with caution. Daniel curled his lips. Judging from its appearance, this was definitely a fine piece of jewelry. If it were sold at the bidding price of 50 million, then the auction house would have surely lost their profit. However, many heads were turned as the bidding between the two seemed to be now going on even more fiercely. "Rumor has it that J is like a sister to Boss Si. Howe the two are nowpeting with each other?" "We should not trust the rumors on the inte!" "Probably that''s because his girlfriend is present. It''s normal to support his girlfriend in stead of his so- called sister!" ... J pulled one Jerry''s shirt corners, and said, "Brother! Shall we continue?" Jerry gave her a soothing smile, and said, "Of course, go on and have your fun!" "Three hundred million!" J was so nervous that her hands were now soggy with sweat. She thought to herself that if Daniel bid more than this figure, she would give up! But, to her biggest surprise, Daniel kept his silence this time, and J panicked as the host''s hammer hit the table for the first time. Out of fear, she kicked Daniel''s chair. Kate heard her, and she turned around and looked at her with a confused look in her eyes. "Daniel, don''t you dare to set me up! Bid now!" Kate then scornfully said to her, "Bid as much as you please, because Daniel never sets you up." Jerry gave his sister a confident look, and then he said to Kate in a in voice, "As long as my sister is happy we, the Shao family, could afford to bid three billion, let alone a mere three hundred million! Jane can bid any figure she wants to." His words made Kate feel awkward; she shouldn''t have humiliated herself in front of them. As soon as she turned her back, the auctioneer''s hammer stroke for the third time, implying that the bidding for the pearl was over. J won the bid for three hundred million, and the precious jewelry was now officially hers. All of the upper ss soon learned about the incident that happened between J and Daniel. J was not cid at all on that day. It wasn''t because she had cost her family a fortune, but because of the attitude she got in return from Daniel. The charity auction then continued, and the forth item on the list was a small bead on a silver chain. It had an attractive name, "The Teardrop of the Sky." "The Teardrop of the Sky is said to be the keepsake of some mysterious kingdom. As what and where that kingdom is, that information is unfortunately unknown. The bidding price for this item starts at ten million." J stared carefully at the pale purple bead. It had a mysterious power, drawing all her attention. She then quickly made her bid, "Twenty million!" She whispered to Jerry, "If I buy the bead for two hundred million, would father be angry with me?" J liked the how the bead looked. To her, money was not an issue, and she tried not to think too much about the price. However, she was slightly worried about spending hundreds of millions of Samuel''s money. After all, her father had been quite strict with her. "Fifty million!" Number 6 was raised up again. People in the room started to whisper with each other. Because he was now confronting her deliberately, spections were going around that J had probably crossed Daniel! J could not hold her anger anymore. She took out her cellphone, quickly wrote a text and sent it to Daniel. Then she shouted at the top of her voice, "Sixty million!" Daniel''s phone beeped, and his look became gloomy as he read the message. "Damn it! What is your issue?" But this time, someone else was also interested in acquiring the precious bead. The wife of the oil tycoon said, "Eighty million." A real estate tycoon also raised his hand. "One hundred million!" The bead with its magic light made everyone present long for it. No one was actually thinking whether it was wise or not to spend this much money on it. Some famous real estate tycoon''s daughter then cut in the bid, saying, "One hundred and fifty million dors!" "Two hundred million!" "Two hundred and fifty!" ... The price soon reached an epic peak of three hundred and eighty million dors. J watched the auction in silence, and she did not make any further bid when she saw that Daniel seemed to also be quiet. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. He was setting himself against her on purpose, and he only bid when she did! Just before the auctioneer was about to close the bid at three hundred and eighty million dors, Daniel raised his hand, and said, "Four hundred million!" The bead was now Daniel''s. J then lost her interest for the following items, and the auction seemed to be boring her. She would rather keep the money for now and donate themter to some charities of her own choice! Strange enough, as soon as she stopped biding, Daniel stopped bidding as well. He never ced any more offers that day. Soon, a new rumor about the two spread among the present upper ss. "Boss Si and Miss Shao bear a grudge against one another." "I think so too. He was trying really hard to piss her off!" "The so-called sister status is actually a joke. They are just pretending to be friendly in front of the cameras!" ... As the auction was approaching its end, J, Shirley and Doris gathered together to gossip. "J, are things getting real between you and Mr. Han?" Doris was because J had never revealed it to them. J cast a nce towards Daniel''s direction. Boldly acknowledging the fact that she and Brian knew each other, she simply said, "Yeah. It is real." She was not lying that she and Brian knew each other and were friendly towards each other. Overhearing her words, Daniel paused, and he stared at the cellphone in his hands nkly. "Wow! Congrattions! J, you should ask Brian to introduce me to one of his mates!" Doris were both excited when they heard the big news. "Sure thing. No problem." J hastily nodded her head to them. The girls giggled to each other as they watched the auctioneer dere the official closing of the auction. Some of the staff then walked in to remove the chairs. After this, they carried arge well-decorated dining table and ced it in the center of the the room. The long dining table had a beautifulced white cloth on it. A huge vase of water lilies in the middle of the table was giving out a sweet scent, and the table was carefully set with exquisite silver cutlery. J didn''t want to stay there any longer, and said, "Jerry, I''m going now." Chapter 110 Ill Bear Your Mans Child Chapter 110 I''ll Bear Your Man''s Child She initially aimed to help her brother get rid of the woman that had apanied him. Now that she was gone, there was no need for her to linger around anymore. "How about having dinner first? If you''re not hungry, how about your friend?" ''Fine!'' J sat down at the table next to Jerry. Shirley followed her and sat at the table next to her. Daniel and Kate were sitting right across the table, and J could easily see them. The sight of them made her furious, and her hands started shaking because of the anger. "Jerry, help yourself with the food. I need to go the bathroom first, " said J. J then promptly stood up from her seat in haste. Following the staff''s direction, she found the bathroom easily. The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, she heard someone calling her name. "J Shao, J Shao!" Curious, she followed the cry outside. After walking through a wide door, she ended up in the hotel''s garden. She found that no one was there. Who had called her then? The night was dark, and J felt scared standing there alone all by herself. Did she just follow a ghost? She felt more and more nervous, and just as she was about to leave the ce, she heard a dog''s loud barking behind her. "Woof, woof, woof!" The barking seemed to sound irked. J knew that danger was approaching her! She then quickly ran towards the hotel lobby. Coming out of nowhere, a huge dog was darting towards her. She turned around and saw that the dog was actually a scary Tibetan Mastiff. The sight of it made her horrified! She strode desperately towards the lobby. The people there panicked the moment they saw her and the big doging towards them; everyone tried to flee away from the scene. But J luckily mingled into the crowd, and she was no longer the aim of the attack, and the dog bit some random guy on the leg instead. The bloody sight shocked J, and with all her force, she dashed into the dining room. Things were getting worse by the minute as the dog kept running aimlessly in the hotel, and the staff then called in the security to make sure that everything was under control. The mastiff was still causing trouble, and some more other people were bit by it. Not knowing where she was heading to, J bumped into someone familiar. Out of panic, she circled around his neck and jumped straight into his arms. With her legs wrapped tight around his waist, she looked very intimate with him in that position. Jerry heard the chaos and ran outside to look for his sister. To his surprise, he saw her clinging to Daniel like a Ko bear to a branch. J was still panicked and shaking, but before she buried her face in his neck, she caught the distinct look in Kate''s eyes. "Mastiff... Mastiff... Daniel, a Tibetan Mastiff is chasing me!" The moment she exined it to him, the big dog showed up in the dining room, and it dashed towards the crowd with full force. With J in his arm, Daniel quickly moved to the side and fortunately dogged the dog''s attack. They hid in the room''s corner while the rest of the people started running towards the gates of the hotel. High pitched screams could be hearding from everywhere. Soon enough, arge group of security guards arrived on site, and the dog was immediately put under control by the professionals. All those bitten by the dog were sent to the nearest hospital for urgent treatment. In the corner Daniel gently hugged the pale-faced J close to his chest as he tried to calm her down with a soothing voice. "It''s all over now, " he said. He knew her well, and he knew that she was afraid of pets. That gigantic Tibetan Mastiff must have scared her very much. J''s murmuring made him curl his lips. "Lucky for me, it didn''t bit me!" said J. "Don''t be afraid anymore. The dog has already been taken away." Maybe it was because of a force of habit, but his fingers touched her face. Her skin was smooth and inviting, and the next second he lowered his head and sealed her ruby-red lips with a gentle kiss. Her lips were cold because she was still in shock... Kate witnessed the kiss as she happened to arrive at the dining room to look for Daniel. J pushed Daniel away with full force, and as she wiped her mouth and red at him, she said, "Douche bag!" Daniel smiled back at her usation and said nothing in return. His casual look made J stamp her foot on the ground. With a pout mouth, she left him there, alone. When she was on her way out, she walked passed Kate, who stared at her with an evil grin on her face. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. J remembered the look in her eyes when she was clinging on to Daniel. When she thought better, the voice that led her into the garden also sounded familiar. J was now sure that the Tibetan Mastiff was Kate''s deed! "p!" She pped Kate right in the face. Many people had already left the hotel because of the incident, but some were still lingering at the hotel, arguing with the hotel staff forpensations. J''s move bbergasted everyone present, including Kate. She stared at J''s palm in an utter shock. Not knowing what was going on, Daniel frowned his eyebrows as he looked at the two rivaling women. Jerry noticed the angry look on his sister''s face so he quickly stepped closer to mend the situation. Shirley and Doris also followed him. "J, are you nuts!" Kate red at J with fire in her eyes. How dared she p her in public? Kate had never been humiliated like this ever before! "I''m nuts? Are you going to confess to the trick you pulled?" J was absolutely sure that the dog incident had something to do with Kate! Kate took a deep breath and then quickly fixed her mood. Once again, she looked confident and elegant like usual. She cast a scornful look at J as she snapped at her and said, "J, don''t overestimate yourself. You''re the one who stole my boyfriend in the first ce..." She stopped talking as she saw the look in Daniel''s eyes. "Kate Song, I am telling you! You dared to set me up today..." As she was saying this, J grabbed Kate by her cor and forced her toe closer to Daniel. She pointed at Daniel as she muttered between her teeth, "I even dared to sleep with your boyfriend!" The firm look in her eyes shocked Kate. Her tone was not that loud, and only the three of them could hear what she was saying. Kateughed hysterically at her words, and said, "Are you dating two men at the same time? You''re already having fun with Mr. Han and now you want to flirt with Daniel? J Shao, you really are shameless!" Daniel cast a sharp look at Kate, and with a cold voice, he snapped, "Enough!" J giggled as if she heard the funniest joke in the world. She pat Kate on the shoulder while looking at Daniel straight in the eyes, and said, "I actually enjoy dating two men at the same time. I''m not as stupid as you, whose boyfriend is screwing around while you have no clue at all. If I were you, I would quit my job as a CEO straightaway and hang myself!" "Just listen to yourself. What shameless wordse from your mouth!" Kate was mocking J in her heart, and now she was digging her own grave by saying such stupid things! "Me? Shameless?" J then gripped her arms around Kate''s neck. Jerry could not believe what he was looking at. "Kate, I am shameless, indeed! From now on, I will sleep with your man, live in your man''s house, spend your man''s money and bear your man''s child..." J''s face burned red as she uttered these bold words. The angry look on Kate''s face rewarded her. She continued with a proud voice, "Rest assured, because starting from today, your man will not invest a penny more in yourpany!" ... Kate was left utterly speechless at her bold deration. With difficulty, she opened her mouth, and said, "J Shao, I have never ever seen anyone more despicable than you in my whole life!" "Coming from you, I''ll take this as apliment!" She let then let her go, pretentiously helped her fix her cor, and casually dusted off her shoulders. She was about to attack Kate with even more harsh words, but her wrist was suddenly caught by Daniel. Chapter 111 I Will Beat Your Woman Chapter 111 I Will Beat Your Woman Daniel listened closely to what J had said just now, and what he cared about the most was that he heard the woman personally admit that she was dating two men at the same time. He then moved forward and quickly grasped J by the wrist. To everyone''s amazement, Daniel, with a gloomy face, dragged J away. When Shirley saw what had just happened, she seemed to understand something. ''So, the CEO that J loves is actually Daniel...'' she thought. He was, indeed, an excellent man, and even J, who was already a rich youngdy, was attracted by his charm and elegance. "Shirley, maybe J won''t being back tonight; I''ll arrange for a room upstairs, and you can spend the night here, " said Jerry. He politely looked at Shirley, and thought that as his sister had left, he should be the one responsible for finding her a ce to sleep. Shirley, who was lost in thought just now, heard him and then nodded at Jerry. "Thank you, Jerry, " After she waved to Doris, who still stood rooted to the ground with shock, Shirley followed Jerry and walked with him up to the hotel service desk. At the Waterside Apartment J was pulled by Daniel out of the car, went upstairs and entered therge bedroom... There were a lot of stuff lying around in the bedroom, such as dolls, several sets of four-piece suits, and some skin care products thate from a famous brand. J broke away from Daniel''s grasp and then sprang at the dolls on the bed. She then happily held one of the dolls in her arms and anxiously rolled on the bed. "Daniel, I forgive you now!" she said. The CEO, who had been very furious earlier, hearing these words ended up being a lot less angry now. He took something out of his pocket, sped J''s hand and then ced it into her palm. "You''d better take back your words - "dating two men at the same time." Otherwise, J Shao, I have to punish you!" warned Daniel. He knew that J didn''t have any sort of intimate rtionship with Brian, but he was still very angry with her. J was surprised to see the bead in her hand; she sat on the bed, kissed it, and then put it safely into her pocket. She didn''t dwell upon the subject that Daniel asked her to make an apology, and instead took out her phone and called Jerry. "Jerry, where''s Shirley?" She thought that it was Daniel''s fault for dragging her out of the hotel all of a sudden, and that she had forgot all about Shirley. "She was amodated at the hotel for the night." Jerry talked with J on the phone while he drove his car. "Oh, okay! Also, where is my luminous pearl?" asked J. When Daniel took a step forward, J took another step back. Jerry, when he nced at the luminous pearl brocade box, snickered, and replied, "I saw that you like it very much, and I believe that Sally must also like it. So, from now on, it belongs to my wife!" When she heard him, J immediately screamed in the phone, "Jerry, how could you do this? Do you only care about your wife and ignore me instead? Give me back my pearl..." "It doesn''t matter if I ignore you, it''s enough if Daniel cares about you. And you should restrain your temper now! Otherwise, Daniel will punish you!" said Jerry. He had thought that Daniel would manage to rein in on her bad temper, but it didn''t seem like that at all. Since Jane had gotten together with Daniel, she got angry more easily... Even if she had challenged Daniel in public for several times already, Daniel had permitted her... "No, I won''t control my temper! If my temper bes mellow, he''ll bully me!" argued J. She also thought of what happened tonight, and believed that if she had a good temper and didn''t utter a word or resist him, perhaps Daniel would''ve taken Kate back to his apartment tonight, instead of her. Now there was nowhere for her to escape, and so she was finally pressed on the bed by Daniel. Jerry smiled over the phone, and asked, "Are you all right now?" J, who was pressed on the bed by Daniel''s chest, nodded, and said, "Jerry, I''m fine. Daniel bought me many dolls, and I''m going to hold all of them in my sleep!" While driving his car, Jerry was a little bit confused, and wondered if Daniel was actually controlled by his sister. ''Oh no. Don''t be controlled by J!'' he thought. He always hoped that there was someone out there who could control his sister, not the other way around! "Be obedient. And from now on don''t be so grumpy!" said Jerry. After she heard Jerry, J kissed Daniel on his lips, and said to her brother, "Jerry, don''t you think that Daniel is such a despicable man since he dates two girls at the same time? Why did you still give him your cute sister and let him deflower her?" After uttering these words, J suddenly burst into tears. And then the phone was suddenly hung up. Jerry wanted to say that Daniel dated with two girls, but he, in fact, seemed to protect J... But, when he thought that Daniel would punish her, he didn''t want to step in their affairs. J''s mouth was covered by Daniel''s and she couldn''t utter another single word. After a while, Daniel eventually gasped for air, and said, "You want to bear a child, right? I can help you with that!" "No, no, no. I just... just... wanted to provoke Kate, " shouted J. Daniel then took off her coat. "Jane Shao, at the present moment, there is only one way with which I can stop and control you!" said Daniel. He took her to the balcony and let her watch the night scene outside, with her back turned to him. When she realized what Daniel was going to do, J immediately turned around and held Daniel''s strong waist. "I was wrong, Daniel. I''m sorry, I know I was wrong. Let''s leave this ce, OK?" begged J. The light on the balcony, which was about ten meters away from them to their right, was still on, and it seemed that there was someone living... "It''s toote!" spoke Daniel. He gritted his teeth and, once again, dragged J to the handrail in front of the French windows. "No, no. There is someone over there!" shouted J. She was so scared that her heart beat violently and fast in her chest. "Will you stop being stubborn for a second?" When Daniel uttered these words, his hand kept grasping J closer to him. J immediately shook her head, and replied, "No, no, I will be obedient to you, I promise!" She decided to first say something to please him. But Daniel still didn''t let her go. ... Inside the cozy bedroom, after he took a shower, Daniel tightly held J, who was feeling sleepy, in Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. his arms. "Jane, text Brian now and tell him that you''ll break up with him!" he said. J was drowsy and muttered, "Break up? Why do I need to break up?" She was too exhausted to understand what Daniel had just said to her just now and she just briefly asked him. But when Daniel heard her, he thought that J asked him why she needed to break up with Brian. He furiously turned J over, who had her back turned on him, to face her. "Jane Shao, do you think it''s fun to date two men at the same time?" he asked. This time, J remembered only few of the words that he initially uttered. She closed her eyes and nodded, "It is fun." ... Daniel was even more depressed because of her reply! "J Shao, I warn you. If you still keep dating Brian, I''ll ask people to harass him and then dump you!" he shouted. Obviously, it wasn''t suitable for Daniel to discuss anything with J when she was sleepy. She was lethargic, and couldn''t listen or understand any of the words he was saying! "If you dump me, I will beat your woman..." said J. ''My woman?'' thought Daniel. "You can beat yourself up, " he said. What? Oh no! She was just too sleepy! She just wanted to sleep now. She then patted Daniel on the shoulder and held a doll next to her. "I want to sleep! If you still talk with me, I''ll have to kick you out!" she said. When he saw that she was so tired, Daniel let her go this time! After tucking her in, Daniel got out of bed, lit a cigarette and walked into his study. He then took out his phone and texted Kate. "From now on stay away from any direct conflicts with J!" Chapter 112 I Dont Like You Anymore Chapter 112 I Don''t Like You Anymore Fortunately for J, she was not injured at all this evening; if she were, he would''ve had the Tibetan Mastiff torn limb from limb. He already began investigating the real reasons on why the Tibetan Mastiff had suddenly ran out and attacked J. If someone had done this to her on purpose, he wouldn''t let them go that easily. Daniel took out his phone and dialed Spark. "Tell me the investigation results as soon as theye in... When will the new shop open? Alright, I see." It was darker and darker outside. After Daniel had finished checking several important emails, he returned to the bedroom. He removed the doll from J''s arms and then held her in his arms and fell asleep. A new cake shop would be opened before New Year''s Eve. It was marked as a shop owned by the SL Group when it was registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. J was the legal representative of the two shops, which made her set out early in the morning and returnte at night everyday. Now came the weekly time to send the Mango Mousse Trays to the SL Group. J was in good mood. She also made a Tiramisu cake, and went to the SL Group together with her sales associate. At the 88th floor of the SL Group Spark stood up from his seat when he saw J, and said, "Miss Shao, please wait." "Yeah?" J, who was just about to push open the door, looked at him curiously. "Well, here is the thing: Boss Si is now attending a meeting at the 22nd floor." Spark exined to J. J nodded at him, and said, "Then I''ll wait for him inside the office." Spark let J inside the office straight away because she knew she had a special ce in his boss'' heart. She waited for him for over 20 minutes, until the door was suddenly opened. J quickly hid herself under the desk, trying to surprise Daniel. "... Changsheng Group has regr and stable customers in the forting season, and you can now handle it by yourself without the SL''s help. I''ll also keep an eye on the American branch next month." Daniel put the files he was carrying in his hand on the table. ''Is he abandoning the Changsheng Group?'' Kate''s face suddenly turned pale. "Daniel, is it because of J that you''re giving the Changsheng Group a free hand?" J was about to jump up from the table, but she didn''t because she heard Kate Song uttering her name. Daniel sat down on the sofa and lighted a cigarette. "Not really; it''s more because of work. I need to separate personal matters from business affairs." Kate sat down beside him, and said, "My father left me an awful mess and I know that you helped me a lot with thepany. I can understand why you would abandon the Changsheng Group, but Daniel... Are you being serious with that unruly girl?" Her words tensed the air in the office. "Kate, you''d better stay out of my business if you want to still keep your position. Don''t mention J to me, ever!" ''What did he mean with this?'' pondered J. The girl under the table was gradually heating up. Kate was aware that Daniel got angry. She continued with a softer tone, "Daniel, I really don''t understand what you like about her. Don''t you know that her boyfriend is Brian? She''s sitting on the fence." "Kate!" Daniel took a sharp nce at Kate, which made her instantly cringe. Daniel blew a smoke ring and warned her again. "The only thing you need to remember is that J is my sister, and if I see any gossipsing from the media, the first one I''ll punish is you." Kate had to bear in mind at anytime that J was his sworn sister. Only by keeping this in mind would she be safe from making any more mistakes. As long as she was with him, J would be safe from any harm. He didn''t worry about their families and friends, but about the media and the gossiping people... "Daniel! I''ll kill you! You bastard!" The sudden shout shocked both of the two people in the office. A girl came out from the table and rushed towards Daniel. She said that she would kill him, but instead she just burst into an endless river of tears. J''s appearance made Daniel''s flicking cigarette ash freeze in the air. He felt sorry for her when he saw her pitiful face. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Daniel, you are a jerk! That is a whole lot different from what you said when we were in bedst night!" He had never said that he regarded her as his sister. ... Daniel flicked the cigarette inside the ashtray calmly. Kate was hurt by J''s words. "Daniel, I don''t like you any more! And you..." J walked in front of Kate and pulled her by her cor up from the sofa. Kate tried to shake off her hands but failed. "J, what are you doing? Don''t you know that Daniel is my boyfriend? How dare you still want to be his girlfriend? You''d better break up with him if you are still sensible and capable of any judgment." J looked at Kate with her head up high and with superiority; Daniel was hers. "J, release your hand." Kate tried to pull back her cor. J was so rude that all of herdy qualities were gone. She didn''t release her cor, and instead she gave her a shoulder throw. "Ha!" ... Kate was thrown onto the ground. She was hurt. "J! That''s enough! No more fooling around!" Daniel''s tone was neither cold, nor serious, but helpless. J thought that he was protecting Kate. She took the Tiramisu and threw on Kate''s face, who was stillying on the ground. Daniel felt awkward when he saw her wild behavior. "Jane, don''t be so reckless!" He put off the cigarette, stood up from the sofa, and then raised Kate up from the ground. J saw that Kate pretended to fall and held on to Daniel. She came over to her and pulled her out from Daniel''s arms, and said, "Kate, don''t let me see you again, or I will hit you again. And I promise it''ll be worse!" J was the perfect example of a spoiled little girl. Kate staggered a little because of the pain in her waist. She really wanted to punch J straight in her face. "Jane, stop it!" J''s bad temper and strong posses refreshed Daniel''s three-values. J was still very upset. She bit him on the back of his hand, and shouted, "Daniel, you''re not allowed to contact her anymore, even if it is only for business!" "Jane, please leave me more time. There are many affairs to settle in our business." Daniel tried to find apromise with his girl while he was rubbing his aching bitten hand. Alright, now that Jane had gone furiously nuts, he would have to end his rtionship with Kate. But J had no idea about his business, and she thought he was being indifferent to her. "Daniel, do you really like her so much?" asked J sharply. Chapter 113 Is That Kates Blood Chapter 113 Is That Kate''s Blood As Kate became fully aware of her now current situation, she wanted to query J. However, thinking of Daniel, she now turned to him, and moaned softly, "Daniel, my waist hurts really bad..." she said. Daniel was irritated by all that happened, and he said to Spark, "Take Miss Song to the hospital right away!" On hearing this, Kate felt hurt, and bit her lip grudgingly. How could this man act so cold to a woman! Spark then took Kate out of the office, Leaving Daniel and J sit in a dumb silence. "Are you feeling better?" he asked. The man broke the silence first and then embraced the angry girl in his arms. However, the girl was so annoyed that she only wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. "So what? Dose that make you feel bad about yourself?" J swore that she would never trust the amorous man ever again. He had just referred her to Kate as his sister, but now... Now here he was cuddling with her. "Stop it, Jane! I love only you! She was just a humbug." Daniel locked J in his arms and then kissed her red lips. "Humbug? So you were also lying to me, weren''t you?" After saying this, J bit on his lips with anger, which somehow, all of a sudden, brought her to a better spirit. With a deep sighing from heart, Daniel realized that his little girl simply had no idea of what his words to Kate really meant. Before he could make any further exnation, the phone rang, and Daniel suddenly got really furious after he picked it up. Finally, he loosen his arms around J. "Did Kate get hurt? Who are they?" He took out a gun from the bottom drawer of his desk and then ced it on his belt. "Okay, I''ming right now." Hanging up the phone, Daniel turned to J, and said, "I''ll let bodyguards send you home. Kate''s in trouble, and I need to save her." J blurted out without thinking, "Even though she''s in trouble, why do you have to be there?" She remembered that Kate was his official girlfriend, and she suddenly became aware of her foolish question. Daniel walked up to her, and while he looked into her eyes sincerely, and fondled her smooth cheek with his thumb, he said, "Jane, I couldn''t break up with Kate earlier because of you." In fact, he had decided to separate with Kate because he didn''t want to make J feel sad anymore. But at this very moment, he changed his mind. Even though he had broken up with Kate, he would still find another girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. Someone had kidnapped Kate and he had to rescue her! He was the real target, while Kate was just the bait. ... J dashed his hand away from her. Was he insane? How could he be a two-timer? Daniel had no spare time left to exin, and went straight towards the door. However, his hand was being held by two other smaller ones. "The police will handle it, don''t go!" J said. She wouldn''t let him risk life for another woman''s sake. "Jane, she was kidnapped because of me, I have to go. Go back home with the bodyguard, okay?" He kissed her and then left through the door in a rush. J was confused about his words. What did he mean that Kate was kidnapped because of his problems? And why did he say that he couldn''t break up with Kate because of her? Couldn''t he think of some better lies to trick her with? Looking around in the now empty office, her mind fell into confusion. Thinking of that woman, J felt jealous for the first time in her life. J thought that Daniel was only hers, and that in reality he had no rtionship with Kate. If Daniel didn''t want to break up with Kate, she could turn to Kate and force her to leave him! There were already cordoned policemen present at the scene when he arrived at the square outside the building, Daniel had no idea where to go while J stared at the drops of blood nearby calmly. ''Whose blood is it?'' she thought. Daniel had told her that Kate had been kidnapped, so was it hers? It was one o''clock in the morning and Daniel hadn''te back yet. Staring at the lonely room and holding the doll in her arms, J suddenly found all of it a bit ridiculous. She thought that she had really meant nothing to Daniel, no more than a friend with benefits. How could she be so silly to believe that he woulde to her every night! N?velDrama.Org holds this content. She had called him many times, but all of her calls went unanswered. She feared whether he hade across any danger. When she remembered the blood, she then became desperately worried about him... ''Daniel, take care!'' she thought. At two o''clock, J dialed Sven''s number, who was sleeping. He answered the phone, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Jane?" "It''s about Daniel... Do you know where he is?" She couldn''t sleep without him. She had been calling him all night and had listened carefully in the dark if the apartment''s door was opened. In his hospital office, Sven rubbed his eyes, and said, "He is in the hospital. Kate..." She got shot and is still in a deepa. "... What about Daniel? Is he alright?" "Well, he has a couple of cuts on his shoulder, but nothing serious." J immediately opened the quilt and then got out of bed. "Okay, which ward is he in?" After she got the ward number from Sven, she rushed into the wardrobe and quickly got dressed and left. Three o''clock in the morning A Mercedes sped out of the Waterside Apartment Complex parking lot, and headed straight for the Chengyang Private Hospital. Inside Room 8022 Having just finished the anti-inmmatory drug IV, Daniel pulled out the needle and sat rxed against the bed. He hadn''t contacted Jane yet after he came the hospital. He reached into his pocket to get his phone, but found nothing. He must have lost it during the fight. ''Did she even fall asleep? Did she manage to sleep without me?'' pondered Daniel. Suddenly, the woman on the bed moved, Daniel leaned forward and called out her name. "Kate?" It seemed that she had some nightmares and had started talking in her sleep. "...No! Let me go... Daniel..." She muttered, but just a few word were audible. He touched her forehead, and it wasn''t hot. At that very moment, the woman grabbed his hand. It made him feel unpleasant because his had was being held tightly by Kate. So he tried to draw it back, but Kate just kept screaming unconsciously. "Daniel, leave! Daniel..." Her words reminded him of the scene when she had shielded him from the iing bullet with her own body... He had to let her hold his hand. After Kate quietly slipped back into hera, he fell asleep unknowingly. At that moment, a car stopped outside of the hospital in the parking lot. A woman in a light purple overcoat, wearing a pair of high Martin boots and a scarf, dashed out of the car and went straight to the hospital''s eighth floor. Finding the ward, she quietly opened the door. The woman with the gauze wrapped around her head slept soundly on the bed, and next to her was Daniel, sound asleep on his arms. She tried her best to calm down her racing heart and approached them, only to find their hands clenched into one another... For a sudden moment, she felt her heartbeat slow as her breathing became more and more difficult. Chapter 114 What Did She See Chapter 114 What Did She See She really didn''t want to be so pitiless to break such a heartfelt scene. But, although she felt distressed, she still couldn''t help it, and still called in a low voice, "Daniel." Her voice was so low, and the man was so tired after fighting the gunmen with his bare hands earlier that day, that he didn''t wake up at her first call. After he napped for a short while, Sven came down to check on them, and he also thought that J might have also already arrived. When he entered the patient''s room, he saw J standing near the bedside. "Jane..." called Sven. J turned around, and made a "shush" gesture to stop talking, and Sven noticed her bloodshot eyes. When he moved his eyes onto the bed, he instantly understood what was going on. He then went forwards to pat Daniel on his shoulder and wake him up, but J tried to stop him. Anyway, it was toote, and the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes. J''s heart ached when she saw the man''s weary bloodshot eyes. "Jane!" cried Daniel. He was still thinking of her before he had fallen asleep, and now, just as he woke up, the first thing he saw was her beautiful porcin face. He was really happy, and he quickly stood up from the chair where he had fallen asleep in, but his hand was still tightly gripped by Kate. He noticed J''s tear-filled red eyes, which made Daniel feel kind of guilty that he pulled away Kate''s hand with force. Daniel called her name again. "Jane!" He came up to her, but J quickly turned around and ran out of the room. Daniel looked back at Sven, and asked, "When did Jane arrive here? And what did she see?" ''Is she angry because Kate was holding my hand just now?'' wondered Daniel. Sven took a look at his wristwatch, and answered, "She''s been here for only a couple of minutes, but she saw what was happening in here clearly." Then he threw to Daniel a helpless nce, and Daniel immediately rushed out and ran after her. But when the elevator reached the ground floor, J had already drove the Mercedes away. Because he didn''t have a car, as he came to the hospital by an ambnce, Daniel helplessly watched her drive away in the distance. But then, soon enough, he saw a taxiing, and Daniel stopped it and asked the driver to drive him to the Waterside Apartment Complex. He didn''t have any cash on him, but he was so anxious to see J that he took off his expensive wristwatch and gave it to the driver. The driver suspected whether the wristwatch was a real one or a fake, and whether it was valuable enough to cover for the cost of the ride. But thinking of his destination, the Waterside Apartment Complex, which was a high-grade expensive neighborhood, the driver thought that he had earned a great deal with this ride. When Daniel arrived, he opened the apartment''s door, and felt relieved to find that J''s bedroom door was closed. He knocked at it, and said, "Jane, please open the door." But no one answered. Daniel called her name for a few more times, but she still didn''t respond to him, so he had to go and search for the spare key to open the door. On the pink bed, the woman was lying to one side with her dolls in her arms, with her back against the door, still wearing her coat. Daniel opened the door and came over to her, and exined in a low voice, "Jane, nothing happened between Kate and me. She took a gunshot today for me, and before you arrived she had a nightmare, and that''s why I didn''t push her away and let her hold my hand." J pulled away his hand, which was resting on her arm, and peacefully replied, "OK, I knew it." But it was obvious she wasn''t acting normal. Daniel smoothed his short hair while thinking about it, and said, "Come on, please take off your coat and have a good sleep!" He was about to help her take off her coat, but J suddenly sat up from the bed and pushed Daniel away with all her strength. "Jane, don''t you trust me?" asked Daniel. He tried dragging her by the arms, but she identally touched his wounds on his left shoulder. The pain felt so sharp that he closed his eyes in an instant, but without letting out a single word. J didn''t know about this yet, and she kept pushing him away, and said, "Leave, I want to sleep alone tonight!" "OK, OK, I''ll go, but please don''t be angry, " said Daniel. Daniel was pushed back by J all the way to the bedroom''s door, and J pushed him out and shut the door without any sort of hesitation. But Daniel still knocked twice at the door, and said, "Have a good rest! We''ll have a good talk tomorrow morning!" J curled her lips when she looked at the closed door. The bedroom''s heating was enough to warm up the room for the night. Then she took off her coat, and gloomily holding her dolls, and she began to fall into her deep thoughts. Early next morning, the apartment''s doorbell ringing sound woke J up, and she could also indistinctly hear someone talking in the other room. When she got out of bed and opened the bedroom''s door she found that Daniel was already dressed in his office clothes and had already put the breakfast, brought earlier by Spark, on the table. When Daniel saw that J was up, he came over to her and smoothed her messy hair. "Go and wash and then have your breakfast. I''m kind of busy today, and I have to leave now, " he said. Spark was standing in front of the apartment''s door. J stared past Daniel at Spark, and asked, "Spark, where''re you heading to so early in the morning?" Spark grinned a slight smile, and exined, "Miss Shao, as Miss Song has..." "Spark!" A cold voice cut in on their conversation and Spark stopped talking immediately. But J had already understood where they were going. She stepped back, and said, "I knew it; you can go. I''m going to wash now." J then closed the bedroom''s door and then went into the bathroom. While she was brushing her teeth, she fell again into her deep thoughts. ''Why am I so angry? No, instead, I should settle things when I get angry! But how to release my anger? I have to settle things, or both of us won''t turn out so well, '' thought J. Then J came up with an idea, and she quickly finished washing and then had her breakfast. In Chuck''s private hospital Daniel was wearing a brown overcoat, and with his hands in his pockets, he stood deadpan at the bedside, and told Kate, "Take good care of your wounds, rest, and don''t worry about your business. If you want to eat anything, just ask Spark, and if you feel that anything is wrong with your health, just tell Sven." "Daniel..." There was a grief look on Kate''s pale face. Daniel stood still and talked to her in an official, formal attitude. He had to mind his actions because Jane was not happy at all now with what was happening. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Daniel''s icy-cold stern face made Kate feel heart-broken; she finally spoke in a faint voice, "OK, I know. Please go ahead and do what you have to do!" Then she closed her eyes andy on the bed with a drawn look painted on her face. She thought that Daniel would treat her differently after her gunshot wound, but she was wrong. When Daniel was about to leave and opened the door, the first thing he saw in front of him was a bouquet of... pot mums*, in full bloom. (TN: In China, we usually use pot mums [chrysanthemum flowers] on Tomb-Sweeping Day) Daniel felt speechless at the sight of this, and the woman that then came into view was J. The woman was dressed in an overcoat which was in the same color range as Daniel''s, with a white scarf wrapped around her neck,plimenting her creamy white skin. She had put on some light make-up on her face and applied bisque lipstick on her lips, which made anyone that saw them want to kiss them. Holding the pot mum bouquet in her arms, she stood alongside Daniel; they were dressed like a couple... "Miss Song, I wish you a speedy recovery!" said J. Ignoring Kate''s even paler face, J put the bouquet at her bedside. Kate furiously stared at her innocent-looking cheeks, and thought with rage, ''You damn woman! If you really want me to recover, why did you bring me pot mums?'' Chapter 115 Go Out For a Walk Chapter 115 Go Out For a Walk She wanted her to die! Seeing J, Kate thought that it was time to make a move! Spark and the two nurses beside her were wondering whether J was doing this on purpose or not. Daniel had no choice but to speak after this awkward moment. "Jane, don''t make any more trouble!" Daniel winked at Spark and he understood him right away. He then sent the two nurses away, walked towards the bouquet of pot mums, and tried taking it away. "Ah! Spark, I wanted to thank Miss Song for saving my man, and so I bought these flowers which were sent from France overnight, which are very, very expensive! If you mess any of the flowers, will you be able to pay for them with your annual sry?" Spark''s hands then suddenly stopped. Meanwhile, because J''s words and attitude, the air in the ward suddenly became more tensed. ''Her man?'' snorted Kate, while her fist clenched tightly under the quilt. "Thank you so much, Miss Shao. I will always remember your warm heart." She spoke thest four words with her teeth gritting. J then happily took Daniel''s arm, and said sweetly, "You''re wee, Miss Kate. Stay in the hospital until your recovery. Daniel, I will allow you to reimburse her for all of her medical expenses." She already knew that Daniel was generous and would have definitely taken the initiative to reimburse Kate for her medical expenses anyway. But, not to let Kate smug, she said this first. The man looked at the little woman''s innocent smile. He thought that it was difficult to tell why the little woman, who had been angry with himst night, be really happy today. Was it because of the mum bouquet? Daniel rubbed her hair with love sparkling in his eyes, and said, "Let''s go." Then he held J''s shoulder and walked out of the room. Spark looked at the bouquet and at the president who left through the door, and then quickly followed up. When the three left the room, Kate furiously threw the bouquet on the ground, smashing it into pieces! At the gates of the hospital It took only a minute for J to turn from a sweet smile to a hard cold expression. She dismissed the arm on her shoulder, and said, "Mr. Si, there are too many media people outside. No more gossip news, OK?" The woman then started walking faster, got into her Mercedes, and finally drove away. All of her moves were like a dash. It wasn''t just Sven behind, even Daniel felt awkward. Today J had let them fully understand that a woman can change her expression and mood faster than flipping a page from a book! There was not any news on the Inte about the two of them. Daniel must have done something. Actually, the inte was very peaceful. There was only one report on New Year''s Eve, that said that a In the following couple of days, because of the New Year, J simply did not go to the Waterside Apartment, and instead returned to the old house early every day. Daniel did not meet with her in the apartment for two days, and when he went to her shop to confront her, she slipped away from there as well. L and Harry had alsoe home. It was almost the Spring Festival''s Eve, so Daniel also returned to the Leroy Manor too. No matter how many messages he sent to J, or calls, she wouldn''t return any of them. Daniel''s patience gradually ran out after ten days of Jane''s ignorance. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. On the second day of the new year Harry called Samuel, and their families decided to get together that night. So, in addition to the Shao, the Li, Si, and Bo families met inside a six-star hotel. It was very lively for the old and the young to gather together. However, only one person had been coldly watching the Shao''s family, and found one person was missing. L looked at her son and then asked E with a smile, "Where is Jane?" E was very embarrassed at that moment, and then she and Samuel looked at each other. Samuel said with embarrassment, "Leave her alone. She''s so wild now; she went out in town with her friend for the New Year." When J heard about the meal, she refused, and instead called Brian in front of Samuel, and the two went out for dinner. "Friend? What friend?" This time Eason''s voice was heard, and his eyes unintentionally fell on Daniel. Sven walked in with his phone, and said helplessly, "I just was on the phone with Jane; she said not to wait for her because she won''t being today." "Where is she?" L looked at Sven with a concerned look in her eyes. They had tried their best to hold a reunion dinner for her and Daniel. Sven sat next to Ang, and coldly said, "She is eating a French dinner with Major Han!" When they heard this, all of the people at the table turned their eyes to Daniel. In fact, everyone already knew about him and Jane. Daniel had to live up to everyone''s expectations, and he slowly got up from his chair, and said, "Godfathers, godmothers, you eat first. I have something I need to do." J had went out with Brian during New Year. ''Does she think I''m dead?'' thought Daniel. "Daniel!" E called on him, perplexed. Daniel stopped and looked back at E, and said, "Godmother, I am going to talk with her." E felt relieved at what he said. "Never mind, this is their young couple thing. Let''s leave them alone! We''ll eat first!" said Eason cheerfully. The three words "young couple thing" made Daniel smile and then he left. However, when Daniel had just left the room, Sally took Jerry by the hand, stood up from the table, and told everyone, "Dear elders, I wish you have a good meal. I will go out for a walk with Jerry." Then she winked at Sven, and Sven in an instant knew what he had to do next. He put down his chopsticks, and said, "Dear elders, I wish you have a lovely meal, but I will take... Nicole out for a walk." Nicole was confused and looked at Sven, who also winked at her. She didn''t have the slightest idea of what was happening, so Sven simply pulled Nicole up and left. When they passed Cole''s seat, Sven poked his backbone, and Cole then sat straight, and said, "Dear elders, I wish you have a lovely meal, but I will take... Selina out for a walk." ... All of the young guys came to a tacit agreement, and in the end even Ang, Scott, and Shelly left. More than a dozen seated elders watched each other, not knowing what was happening or what to do next. When all of them left, John asked weakly, "Mommy and Daddy, can I go with my brothers and sisters?" "No!" Samuel and E spoke at the same time, and John immediately slouched his head and sat aside. The elders, who were now stunned at the table from what had just happened, sighed and then began to eat their dinner. Daniel sent a message to Samuel asking about J''s location, and then Sally asked J about her location. Then Sally told everyone her location. However, Daniel called someone before going to the French restaurant F¨¦r?me, and asked him to appear with him in F¨¦r?me. In the French restaurant F¨¦r?me J was eating the caviar in the dish in front of her. Sitting in front of her was Brian, dressed in a camouge suit, which attracted many women''s looks. Chapter 116 Its All Made Up Chapter 116 It''s All Made Up "J, do you mind if Ie today, instead of Bill?" Brian stared at J earnestly. The woman shook her head, and said, "No, I know Bill is addicted to the game!" While J was talking, her phone rang, and it was Bill, whom they were just talking about! "Jane, my sweet Jane, you''ve finally called me! I just checked my phone. What''s up?" Bill''s excited voice sounded cheerful in the phone''s speaker. "Yeah, I did. I''m eating some French food with Brian. Are youing over?" Hearing what she said, Brian looked at the woman across the table helplessly. She was cruel and had left no room or chance for just the two of them. "Imagine that I''ve already arrived! I''ming over right now!" Bill asked for the address and then immediately hung up the phone and rushed to the address J had given him. But just when she finished her caviar, a couple appeared in front of J. She raised her head and was stunned by the person in front of her. ''Wow, that is fast, '' thought J. But who was the woman next to him... "Hello, Daniel." J greeted him indifferently and continued to eat her foie gras. It was only when she cut the foie gras that she revealed her true emotions. "Do you mind if we join you? Major Han?" What Daniel had just said surprised the woman beside him. "Yes, we do." The one who answered him wasn''t Brian, but the woman who was cutting the foie gras. "Major Han didn''t answer me, so I will regard that as an approval." Daniel asked the woman beside him to sit next to Brian, while he sat next to J. J wasn''t going to move, but Daniel sat closely next to her and left her no room, which made her move inside. So did Brian with the woman that sat next to him. "Daniel, you have no shame!" And then came Daniel''s cold sarcasm. "Thank you... waiter, I''m ready to order." Daniel waved over to a waiter to take his order. Not long after that, a familiar voice was heard. "Hello, Jane!" It was Sally! "Jane, Daniel!" And that was Nicole. And then arge group of people appeared in front of J, and she was surprised to see all of them talking to her. She said, "Aren''t you supposed to eat at the hotel?" "We have nothing inmon with them, so we think it''s better to have fun and hang out with you guys!" Sven looked at Brian, and the two acquaintances nodded to greet each other. "Come on, find your seats. Tonight it''s Daniel''s treat!" What J said had cheered up all the people around her, and before it was confirmed whether what she said was true or not, everyone found their seat at the table. Therge group of people that suddenly appeared made the restaurant manager and waiters to hastily "Nice! You''re not even married to me yet but have the liberty to control my finances! Very nice, indeed!" Despite the strange looksing from the two in front of him, Daniel caressed J''s long hair with gentleness and passion in his eyes. But J pped his hand furiously, and her face turned instantly red. "What are you talking about there? I don''t ever want to marry you, OK?" When J finished talking, the woman on the other side suddenly said, "Mr. Si, who is this woman? She is so arrogant!" Daniel nced at the young model coldly, and thought, ''Alright, another woman with big breasts and no brain.'' J then started talking to the young model. If she didn''t speak for herself, then who would? "Oh? You don''t know who I am?" she said, "Where have you living all of this time? In some sort of remote mountainous area, or some African refugee tribe? Even Daniel has to respectfully call me... dear sister. Really now, you don''t know me? Well then, go home and tend to your farm, OK?" When she finished saying that, she forked the chopped foie gras and brought it towards Brian''s mouth. "Brian,e on, I''ll feed you." ''Why are you so suddenly showing off? Just say what you have to say, OK?'' Brian didn''t see thating, and while he was stunned by what he had just heard earlier, Daniel ate the chopped foie gras from J''s fork. He stared at Brian coldly while he chewed the foie gras gracefully. The young model across the table was not satisfied by being ignored. She said, "I am not from Africa, my father is the richest man in Green Cold Country. I am a first-line model!" Her tone was very, very arrogant. ''Oh, so you''re a small model, '' Jane thought. J''s left hand pinched the man next to her under the table. Then, she smiled at the model, and said, "Your father really is the richest man, and I can tell that just by looking at your face. You know why? I see how good all of your stic surgeries are. Just look at your eyes, nose, chine, breasts, your whole body!" The young model''s eyes became red, and J still didn''t go easy on her. She sighed heavily, and said, "Unlike you, my eyelids are from my dad, as well as my Roman nosees, and my lips I''ve inherited from my mom. I never exercised or ever been on a diet in my whole life... I don''t know how it''s like to spend money on stic surgery. Brian, I really want to try it out!" Brian, who tried not tough, suddenly heard his name. He nodded, and said, "J, you are a natural beauty, and you don''t need any stic surgery. Never have that thought again!" J was smug, and looked at that woman with a proud look in her eyes. She didn''t give the model any chance to say anything in her defense. "Do you know that Daniel''s girlfriend is Kate Song? When you''ll encounter the aggressive and shameless CEO, you''ll meet your death!" ''Aggressive and shameless? That''s something new, '' thought Daniel. The young woman was just about to cry, but J was now addicted to messing around with her, and said, "Oh, baby, please don''t cry. Don''t ruin your stic surgery. Your eyes will be triangr if you cry." In fact, J had made that up. She didn''t know whether her eyes would be triangr in their shape or not. But it was clear that the young model believed her, and she looked up at the ceiling and forced her tears to stop. "Daniel, you are not a man. Your date is bullied and you just sit there and watch. Damn you!" The Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. young model reproached Daniel for a while longer and then went away. Sven, who was sitting at the table next to them, thumbed up to J, and said, "Jane, it''s a shame that you are not awyer." "It''s already enough that my brother is awyer. I''m coborating with Daniel on a hundred million business!" The man, who was tasting his red wine, and who was sitting next to her, almost chocked when he heard her words. "Eh-hem..." However, Brian asked, "What business are you doing? You already have hundreds of millions in assets." What he said sounded familiar to Sven, but he couldn''t remember where he heard that before. "I don''t know. It should be the cake shop! When I signed the contract that day, Daniel said that our agreement was valued at hundreds of millions, and so I signed it." Sven, who was sitting on the other side of the table, suddenlyughed, and said, "Jane, you were tricked by Daniel. Ha ha..." At that moment, Daniel picked up a paper towel and wiped his mouth gracefully. He then stared at Sven to warn him and Sven immediately shut up. Only Brian and J didn''t know what happened. Chapter 117 They were Both Just Two Little Kids Chapter 117 They were Both Just Two Little Kids Bill was the type of person who showed up in the nick of the time. By the time Daniel and that young model''s dishes had been served on the table, Bill had entered the restaurant and had already seen his cousin and Jane; he then hastily came to them and sat right next to Brian. "Jane, we haven''t seen each other for a long, long time! Come here! Let me hug you!" demanded Bill. Bill had some days off for the Spring Festival. He had wanted to visit J, but was stopped and was so strictly supervised by his grandfather that he even couldn''t step out of his own house. He would''ve still been locked in his house, if he hadn''t sessfully escaped from it tonight! When Bill had just finished his words to J, he felt an icy-cold gaze being cast towards him, which made him shiver from head to toe. He stared at Daniel, who sat opposite to him, and their eyes met. Bill was scared and cowardly shrank his neck. He said, "J, is there something wrong with your brain? Why did you fall in love with such a stone-cold man? Why didn''t you choose my cousin, who is much better than him!" He continued, "And what about me? Am I not good enough? Why did you have to torture yourself?" He kept to his murmurings while he threw a quick nce at J, who was sitting diagonally opposite to him. He then picked up the cutlery in front of him, and started to eat his french dishes. "You''re a man, don''t eat the caviar!" yelled Brian at him. Then he moved Bill''s caviar dish to J. Bill didn''t care too much, and then he turned to eat the french oyster dish, but Daniel also took away his dish, and said, "You''re still young, and it''s not good for your health to have oyster." ... A strange and mysterious aura filled the air around the table at which the three men and one woman were sitting. ''Well! Then I''ll eat the sole fish!'' thought Bill. But Brian spoke again, and said, "J likes eating fish the most. Give her the slice!" ... In the end, there were only a ss of juice, a vegetable sd dish, and a piece of cheese left in front of Bill. He angrily put down his cutlery, and protested, "Are you guys kidding me?" "Yes, wimpy kid. Ask your cousin to take you back home and stay safe with your grandfather, " answered Daniel. He kept having his oyster without even raising his head to look at Bill. Finally, J drew back her smile and asked the waiter to reorder all of Bill''s food. "Jane treats me the best! I love you!" said Bill happily. And as he said this, he also grinned an evil smile and threw her a kiss. Brian now began to pray for Bill in his mind; he shouldn''t have dared to act like this in front of Daniel! And as was expected, Daniel was the type of person who had to take his revenge. "Bill, are you going back to the troop unit these following couple of days?" Daniel asked him in a normal tone. Bill felt curious that Daniel was suddenly concerned about his own affairs, but without overthinking it, he replied, "Yes, I''m going back soon. But this time I''ll have much more freedom! And Jane, you know what? Grandpa has even permitted me to have my own phone back! Now I can always contact you!" Bill''s conversation topics revolved only around J, which made Brian kick his leg underneath the table to warn him. "Brother, why did you kick me?" shouted Bill. He discontentedly squinted at Brian. ... Brian felt speechless, and wondered why he had to have such a stupid cousin. "Sorry, I didn''t mean it, " he said. Bill didn''t try to get even with him, and with his chin rested on his right hand, he kept staring at J, who was drinking her ss of juice, and asked, "Jane, could youe sometimes and see me when I''m off duty?" J was about to nod, but then Daniel coldly said, "No, you won''t be free." What did he mean? All of the other three people standing at the table stared at Daniel with a doubtful look in their eyes. Then, Daniel took out his phone and dialed Sven''s uncle''s phone number."Hello, Mr. Si. I have a friend here called Bill..." Bill instantly had an uneasy foreboding, and he was right... "Yes, he''s Mr. Han''s grandson. He told me that he was willing to apply for the international mission of guarding the African borderline, in order to support and ensure the security there, and of course to devote himself to keeping world peace..." Bill''s eyes instantly became bigger and bigger while he threw his unbelievable gaze at Daniel. ''The African borderline? Devote myself to world peace? Oh no! God! I don''t have such great ambitions! ... Oh! No!'' thought Bill, feeling more and more desperate. "Daniel Si! I didn''t do anything wrong to you, why did you have to y such an evil trick on me?" Billed yelled and protested. Daniel cast a cold nce at him and continued speaking on his phone. "Yes. He said that any time is OK for him and willply to the military officer''s arrangement. It''s OK to stay there for eight or ten years. He was shy to tell you this himself, so he asked me to personally tell you." ... Barely bearing herughter, J dragged Daniel by his sleeve underneath the table, and said, "Daniel, no! Don''t y such an evil trick on Bill..." The woman''s protest made Daniel correct his words a little bit, and said, "But just let him have a go at it for three months at first." "Yes, well, happy new year, Mr. Si!" said Daniel as he finally ended his call. ... After Daniel hung up the phone, Bill was already bewildered and sitting still on his seat. It took a short while for him toe back to his senses, and he pointed at Daniel, but Daniel frowned and just looked back at him. "If you''re a real man, thene and fight me! What kind of man are you, setting me a trap like that?" said Bill in a rage. J put down her ss of juice and hastily stopped Bill from talking. "No, Bill. Don''t fight with him..." urged J. "Fight you? Well, okay, let''s do it!" Daniel immediately epted his challenge. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. J failed in preventing them from fighting and saw them standing side by side and walking out of the restaurant. J and Brian exchanged a brief nce with one another and followed them out of the restaurant as well. Before she went out, J threw some words to the other fellows present with them in the restaurant. "Quick, something is happening outside!" Then they all ran after them. Before he went out, Daniel passed a credit card at the reception desk and paid for the bill. Outside in the square, Daniel was standing face to face with Bill, who was burning with rage in his eyes now. The contrast was strong: one of them looked imperious and graceful, while the other looked childish and furious. "If you can defeat me, I''ll let you stay in the C Country''s military troops, but if you lose... then you have to give up on Jane. What do you think about it?" asked Daniel. He took off his suit coat and then threw it to J, who had just caught up with them outside. J naturally caught his coat, which had his scent on it. Brian saw the scene, and a meaningful look shed in his eyes. Bill thought that Daniel was just like a weak, bookish guy, who always sat in his office, and that he, unlike him, was a trained soldier with experience in the army. So he agreed to his bet without any sort of hesitation. "OK!" Daniel warmed up by doing some stretches, and said, "Well then, start!" But Bill was unsatisfied with his order, and said, "That''s what I should''ve said!" ... Daniel seemed to see J''s shadow next to Bill''s, and thought that they were both just two little kids! He then impatiently waved his hands, and said, "Don''t be so troublesome! C''mon, hurry up!" "Start!" shouted Bill. Bill had just finished his word, and in just a second he was thrown on the ground by a swift shoulder fall. ... He even didn''t have a chance to fight it back. It was so pathetic and embarrassing that it even made Brian cover his eyes. Brian wondered why he had such a stupid cousin in his family. More and more onlookers came and surrounded them to see what was happening. Daniel didn''t like this, so he kicked Bill, who was lying on the ground, and he urged him, "Stand up! Let''s finish this already!" "Come on, the loser has to treat all of us with liquor, " shouted Cole. All of the other guys all agreed with him. They were all here today, and it was really good for them to finally have a gathering together. Bill felt awkwardly defiant, and he raised himself up from the ground. Then, after uttering another "Start", they began their fight again. This time Bill dodged Daniel''s first hit, but the second... Bill was kicked so hard by Daniel''s second hit that he had to kneel down. ... He really felt heart-broken, being defeated by an office bookish guy... ''Well, it seems that I''m even worse than a bookish guy! Jane... No! I have to fight for Jane!'' thought Bill. Although he had already lost two rounds, and the winner was clearly determined, Bill still didn''t acknowledge his defeat, and instead stood up and still tried his best to win at least one round. Chapter 118 Find Someone and Spend the Night Together Chapter 118 Find Someone and Spend the Night Together In the third round, Bill, indeed, seeded in consecutively coping with Daniel''s three attacks. But, with his fourth move, Daniel swiftly stretched out his hand and pinched Bill''s neck vein. At that moment Bill burst into tears because of the pain, and Daniel eventually released him. Bill then ran towards J. "Jane, I''ve just lost you... Jane, I love you... Jane, don''t forget me... No, no, no, " said Bill. He was hugging her and crying bitterly. His body was suddenly lifted up in the air and then dropped into Brian''s arms. "The loser needs to buy us drinks. Let''s go!" said Daniel. He then took his business suit from J''s arms. J was deeply attracted by Daniel, who looked very handsome, and just kept her eyes fixed on him without blinking. Some of the others had got in their cars with excitement, but J was still utterly infatuated with Daniel and was still looking at his back. "J, I won''t go to the bar this time. Have a good time!" said Brian. He followed J''s gaze and then looked at Daniel. At that time, Daniel, who was about to get in his car, had also began to look at J. "Um? You won''te with us? Why? Brian, let''s go together!" said J. She finally came back to her senses and now stared at Brian, confused. Brian pointed at his camouge clothing, and replied, "It''s inappropriate for me to go with you because I''m dressed in my military uniform. You guys go and have fun. We can go out and have fun on another day!" J was very sorry to hear him say that, but she nodded to him, and said, "Brian, just be careful on the road, okay?" "Hum, okay! Have a good time!" said Brian. He gently touched her long hair before he left, and he immediately noticed that someone was giving him a sharp killing stare. "OK. Bye, Brian!" said J. She waved at Brian reluctantly. After she saw that he got in his military car and drove away, J slowly walked up to Jerry''s car. Daniel, who had just lit a cigarette, looked towards her, and shouted, "Believe it or not, I will kiss you right here!" When she heard him, J, with a flushed face, stared at him, and asked, "What do you mean?" ''Why did he say that he''ll suddenly kiss me?'' thought J. "Get in my car!" said Daniel. After uttering these words, he then sat in the driver''s seat. ... ''Oh, I see now what he meant!'' thought J. In the SH Bar Several luxury cars stopped in front of the bar and attracted a lot of attention. Ignoring the sensation they brought along with them, a group of people then got out of their cars and N?velDrama.Org holds this content. then entered the bar''s private VIP room. When they saw that so many special guests wereing there together, several managers of the bar seemed to see to a lot of bills and personally served them together. "Hello, everyone! What would thedies and gentlemen like to drink tonight?" asked a female manager. She looked at all of the rich young people with great respect, and several waiters behind her had pricked their ears to make sure they didn''t miss anything they ordered. Daniel, who was at the farthest, spoke first. "Brandy." And then Jerry said, "Me too." Sally was next to Jerry, and thought for a while what she would order. She then asked J, who was near her, what she wanted to drink. "I want the Angel Charm; what about you, Sally?" asked J. "Well, I also want the same drink as you!" said Sally. ... After everyone had ordered their own drinks, Bill also asked the waiters to bring several dozen beers. Some girls gathered together and began to y games. Sally naughtily nced at J, and said to her, "Let''s y ''rock paper scissors'' and the loser needs to kiss one of the men present!" ''Ah?'' J was a bit stunned, but she quickly responded to the challenge. "I''m not afraid. Let''s do it!" After all, Daniel was there... Ang, who was also excited, came over, and asked, "Can we choose a man outside?" She had just met a handsome man outside! Sven grabbed his sister, frowned a bit, and then stared at her. "You''re underage and you can''t y such a boring game, " he said. Ang broke away from Sven''s grasp, and while she disdainfully looked at him, she said, "I dare you to y with us! If you lose, you need to find and kiss a woman outside. Are you in?" she asked. "Of course I''m in. What game do you want to y? Bill, Daniel, let''s join in their game and y together, " said Sven. He had just dragged all of the others into the mire! Bill then immediately came beside J. "I have to y this game!" he said. He not only wanted to y with them, but he also wanted to be the loser! J moved a little and made some space for him. "If you lose, you have to drink these three bottles of beer. You''re just a little boy, and can''t follow us adults!" she said. "I will drink them. And, I will also kiss someone!" he replied. It was obvious that he wanted to badly kiss J. Hey, hey, hey... J didn''t want to talk with him any longer, and thought that if he lost, she would have to push him outside and find a woman for him to kiss. "Let''s y an even more exciting game!" Sven suddenly blinked and came up with another idea. "What, what?" Selina and Sally got closer to him right away. "The person who loses three times in a row needs to drink this bottle of brandy and also find someone of an opposite sex to spend the night with. What do you think about that?" Sven said. Holding a bottle of high-end liquor in his hand, he raised his eyebrow and looked at everyone present in the room while dangling the bottle in front of them. Well... They already knew that a bottle of brandy would certainly get a person drunk! What''s more, the loser also needed to find someone to spend the night with after getting drunk. They wondered if Sven wanted to stir something up between them. The younger ones began to cheer and shout, and said, "Agreed! Agreed!" Sally and Jerry of course agreed with his n, and J also agreed because she knew that Daniel was there. Bill also agreed with the idea because J was there! Almost all of them unanimously agreed with the rules of the game, and only Daniel and Nicole sat in silence. "The game ''rock paper scissors'' is so childish. Are you still kids?" asked Cole. He was confused and looked at everyone, wondering who came up with ying such a childish game. Sven summoned a waiter to their table, and said, "Please bring us... twelve sets of dice!" "OK, Mr. Si. Just a moment, please!" replied the waiter. He then quickly brought them the dice. Daniel didn''t want to y with them in the beginning, but Sally wanted him to y and thought that if he didn''t join them, Jane would be unhappy. "Daniel, Nicole, don''t disappoint us. Come on, please join us!" she said to them. When Nicole saw that Daniel took a set of dice, she also grabbed a set. The game''s rule was that twelve people rolled the dice at the same time and added up their own dice number to the number of people present; whoever got the poorest number had to kiss someone of an opposite sex, the second that lost after him, or her, had to drink the strong liquor, and the one who ranked after had to drink the beer. Almost in a sh, all of them rolled the dice at the same time, and the sound of the dices hitting the walls of their cups had almost drowned out all the music in the room. "Open!" All dice stopped and everyone opened their dice cups. J then suddenly screamed, because her total dice number was the biggest. She got five 6 and one 3. This time she had won, so she didn''t have to kiss anyone of an opposite sex. However, she might be kissed... Only Sven and Daniel hadn''t opened their dice cups, so all others paid close attention to them. The two mischievous men looked at each other and then opened their dice cups. At this moment, all the others burst into a sudden uproar. Both of them had six dice which were quietly lying in front of them, and the number of spots of each dice was just one. So, in the first round, both Sven and Daniel hade inst. Shelly was the second tost, and Ang had ranked third from the bottom. Before they asked Daniel and Sven to kiss someone, all others present asked Shelly to drink the liquor first. Shelly, when she saw the ss of brandy in front of her, was so frightened that she could already feel her own stomach ache. Chapter 119 My First Kiss was with A Man Chapter 119 My First Kiss was with A Man "OK, forget it. Don''t be afraid! Let me help you!" said Cole. He saw that his sister was scared of drinking it, and so he grabbed her ss of brandy and drank it all in one gulp. "Wow! Cole, you''re so cool!" J cheered at him, and thought ''That was a ss full of brandy!'' Her praise to Cole made Daniel throw a glimpse at her but without uttering a single word; he kept smoking his cigarette in silence. Ang had also finished half of her ss of beer, but Sven grabbed her ss and finished it for her. All of the people present there were brothers and sisters, and so the game''s rules were actually quite flexible, and the men didn''t really want the girls to drink all of the liquor every time they lost the game. They tacitly reached an agreement that the brothers could drink the liquor for their sisters. Jerry took a nce at his sister, who was the first to exim and stir up things, and then felt his stomach slowly starting to ache. But he then moved his eyes on Daniel, and if he guessed it right, he wasn''t responsible to drink for J if she ever lost the game. He only needed to be responsible for Sally, and so he had to take good care of her. Now it was Sven and Daniel''s turn to ept their punishment. Everyone pped their hands, and shouted, "Come on, you two go together!" J was still looking and yelling at Sven. "Sven, don''t get the girls here involved into your punishment. Go out and find someone... Ah!" After she yelled, her wrist was suddenly gripped tight by a man, and then she fell into a familiar hug, and sat firm on someone''s legs. "Wow! Oh! Brother Daniel! Jane! Show us a kiss! Come on, just a kiss!" Cole Li and Scott Bo shouted the loudest. J''s face flushed red, and then she threw a stare at Daniel. She was about to stand up and leave, but Daniel didn''t give her the chance to go away. He put his right hand on the back of her head and pushed it forward, their lips then pressing tight on each other. Instantly, the room was noisy with all the cheering andughing sounds; everyone excitedly screamed at them, all except for Bill, who was sadly roaring. Daniel kept kissing J for at least one minute before he finally let her go. He licked his lips with satisfaction when he saw the woman quickly escape from his grasp. The next one on the line was Sven. He cleared his throat, and then stood in front of a woman; his choice had shocked everyone there. Unexpectedly, Sven chose... their big sister Nicole. The music stopped and the room was suddenly quiet now. Daniel kept staring at Sven, and said, "Sven, pick another one." His voice was stern and low. Nicole was not the type of girl that could be casually yed with; after all, she was oldest of them all, and the big sister in everyone''s eyes. Sven grinned a slight smile, and he bent and crouched in front of Nicole, who was also shocked by his choice. "Nicole, join the game with me, " he said. Sven called Nicole''s name straight out in an intimate sort of way, which left Nicole puzzled. She said, "What? But I''m already ying the game!" ''But why did Sven choose me...'' wondered Nicole. Then, Sven slightly moved his body forward and kissed Nicole''s red lips. ... That was Nicole''s first kiss ever. Although she was almost thirty years old, she was actually quite a timid girl; she had only had one boyfriend in her whole entire life, but they had only held hands and kissed each other''s foreheads during their short rtionship. Sven''s kiss made her lose her judgment all of a sudden. The room was so quiet now that no one dared to cheer or speak anymore, and they all wondered why did Sven choose Nicole to kiss, who was about six years older than he was. Even the talkative women there were left dumbfounded, and didn''t dare to let out a single word more. Daniel stood up from the sofa, and pulled Sven away from her. Their kiss then stopped. Daniel pulled Sven all the way out of the room, and pushed him against the corridor''s wall, while he sternly warned him, "Sven, my sister is not the kind of girl you can y around with." Sven was always changing his girlfriends, so Daniel didn''t think that what he had done was that serious. Sven smiled and then looked at Daniel with a serious look in his eyes, and he said, "I''m not ying!" ... "There''s a six or seven year gap between you and her; my sister is the elder one in our group. Are you sure that you aren''t fooling around?" Daniel stared at him and scanned all of his face, trying to find some sort of hint that may betray his trick. But, he couldn''t find out any, and Sven spoke out again, "I can be responsible for Nicole. I''ll even marry her, we can go and apply for the marriage certificate tomorrow." At that moment, the room''s door was opened and Nicole came out. Looking at Daniel, she said, "Daniel, it doesn''t matter that much... It''s just a game, don''t be... so serious." Nicole was nearly thirty years old, but she looked just like a young girl in her twenty''s. She was pure, and had never been involved in any serious rtionship. As the acting CEO of the SL Group in America, she had seen a lot of cheating and treacheries in the business circles she was in, but she wasn''t affected by any bad manners or corrupt morals. Nicole was the kind of respectable girl that you could only admire at a distance, the kind who couldn''t be yed with. Daniel had to let Sven go when Nicole showed her attitude on the matter at hand. He added, "Mind your manners from now on." Then they went back to the room. J saw Daniel''s darkened face, and she thought that if she had been the one kissed by someone else, what would''ve been Daniel''s reaction then? Her thought would soon be tested. Gradually, the atmosphere in the room cheered up again, and the second round began. Sven was absent-minded when he rolled his dice, so he rolled the biggest score this time. Daniel''s attention was still on Sven, so he rolled his dices and got somewhere around the middle score. Bill ranked thest in this round, and he was so excited that he jumped up with joy. The second loser was J, and the third was Sally. Looking at the liquor in front of her, J closed her eyes and then began to gulp down quickly on the liquor. Daniel came back to his senses when he saw J gulping down the liquor. Bill was sitting by her side and was just about to grab her ss for her, but J refused. She didn''t think of herself as being weak, and what could''ve happened worst was that she would get drunk and fall into a deep and long sleep. Then, Daniel stood up from his seat, took over her liquor, and pulled her to sit down by his side. He said to her, "You just sit still here from now on!" And, of course, Daniel drank all of her liquor. J rested her chin in her hand, and while wearing a sweet little smile, she looked at Daniel with fascination sparkling in her eyes, who was cool, gracious and handsome in any single one of his moves. Then, Sally''s beer was gulped by Jerry. Now it was Bill''s turn to kiss someone, and ignoring Daniel, he excitedly jumped up to J''s side. "Jane, I pick up you!" said Bill. He had been eagerly waiting for this moment for long. ''Um...'' J fluttered her eyshes and hadn''t considered it initially, but when she remembered of Daniel''s reaction to what happened to his sister just now, she gave Bill her promise. Bill then closed his eyes and slowly drew himself closer to J. The other people around them focused their eyes on Daniel, and as was expected, Daniel promptly took his action. He stood up from the sofa, and with his right hand he pushed away J, while with his left dragged Cole over next to him. Then the two men''s lips were then pressed together. "Ha ha ha..." everyone in the room burst into a wildughter. "Wow, you''re so great! Bill!" The room was noisy withughter, and when Bill opened his eyes and saw poor Cole''s face before him, Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. he instantly felt queasy. The two men both went to find a dustbin and began to retch. "Brother Daniel, how could you y such an evil trick on me? That was my first kiss..." Cole sadly protested. Bill began to rinse his mouth with a mouthful of beer, and then he stood up and walked up to Daniel. "My first kiss was with a man! Make up for my first kiss!" he furiously yelled. Chapter 120 Thank You for Your Kindness Chapter 120 Thank You for Your Kindness What he said was true; Bill was really in love with J, but J didn''t have the slightest interest in him. Bill was still just an innocent little boy... "Make up for your first kiss?" As he said this, Daniel took out of his pocket his gold-ted lighter and casually lighted his third cigarette. He took a drag out of it and then spit the smoke on Bill''s face, saying, "Here you go!" Bill didn''t smoke at all, and when he inhaled the smoke, he coughed really hard. "Dan... Daniel, you are a mean man! Eh-hem..." He initially wanted to punch Daniel in the face, but when he remembered of his defeat in the one-on- one battle from earlier, he immediately sat back down next to J, and let his frustration boil in his blood. He leaned his face over her shoulder and began toin about Daniel. "Jane, he is such a nasty bully!" His reputation had been ruined by Daniel; he had actually kissed a man... Woo woo woo... J pat Bill''s shoulder, and said, "There, there. Come on, let''s drink." She had learned how hateful and vengeful Daniel really was, but, however, she didn''t know how to fix him. The two then each picked up a beer from the table, clinked the bottles together, and then took a sip out of them. "Bill, what did I say to you?" Daniel flicked the ashes in an ashtray and then sat next to Bill. He was so powerful and overwhelming that Bill was forced to glue himself to Jane. ''Oh! He must be referring to the one-on-one battle and it''s bet, '' thought Bill. "Okay..." Bill had to leave the seat next to J; he then sat back on his initial seat. He thought, ''I''m a man, and I''ll keep to my word!'' They talked for a while longer and then started the third game. Thest one was... Daniel, again. J looked at him and found that he was trying to hold off hisughter. ''It seems he did this on purpose!'' thought J. Another six ''one'' in a row. The second loser was Nicole, and her face almost instantly became paler when she saw the ss of liquor in front of her, but she still didn''t show too much of her fear. The third loser was Scott. He thought that it didn''t matter too much, since there were only three bottles of beer. Sven voluntarily drank Nicole''s ss of liquor. Nicole had drunk a lot of it before, but she had never drunk so much booze in one gulp, and so she was scared of getting drunk too fast. When she wanted to finish it, her liquor was gone. Sven had stood by her, and had drank everyst drop of it that was left in the ss voluntarily. Nicole''s face flushed red, and said, "Sven, you don''t need to drink it for me, I can manage it all by myself pretty fine." Sven then put down the ss and thought that he had done so many things for Nicole. He just wanted Nicole to know his real feelings towards her. Scott then drank two sses of beer, and wanted to drink another, but J quickly grabbed it from him, and said, "You are just a kid, don''t drink that much!" "Easy, sister. It''s just beer!" Jerry then grabbed the ss and drank it in silence; after that, Scott didn''t talk anymore. Daniel blew out onest smoke ring, and put out his cigarette. He then grabbed J by the face and kissed her. It was a real deep kiss, and Daniel didn''t let her go until she almost suffocated. Atst, she could breath some fresh air! "Daniel, Jane, if you invite us to your wedding, we''ll give you a huge red pocket." Shelly covered her mouth and smiled secretly. J was only gasping for air and had no time to speak while Daniel said, "Sure." The atmosphere in the bar''s private room was now on fire again. But at the end of the fourth game, everyone was stunned. Daniel drank straight from the bottle of brandy, grabbed J''s hand, and said to the people there, "Thank you for your kindness, but we''re leaving now. You people have fun, and don''t worry, I''ll pay for the drinks!" Everyone looked at the door closing behind them, and then looked at the six "ones"id out in a row in front of Daniel''s seat. "Did Daniel cheat?" Wondered Bill. "I''ve got the feeling that my brother is fooling poor J." Sally also stared at the six "ones" in a row and for a moment felt sad for Jane. Ang then shouted, "Everyone,e on, we should continue the game!" Cole nced at her, and said, "Easy, easy now, little girl." Ang then hesitated, and spoke with a flushed face, "I was speaking for my brother and Nicole." Nicole pulled Ang''s sleeve, and said, "Ang, what on Earth are you saying?" Sven looked at Nicole to make sure she wasn''t angry, and then started shaking the dices in his cup. Five secondster "OK, stop rolling. I lost again." ... People looked at each other, and thought whether Sven and Daniel had discussed with one another things in advance.'' Another five secondter, Sven opened the dice cup and everyone in the room was shocked. "Sven, you and Daniel must have cheated!" Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. "Yes! They must have cheated. Daniel and Sven are regr customers of the SOHO Bar." Several of the girls nodded. Sven opened the brandy and looked at them with disdain. He then said, "People cheat in order to win. Have your ever seen anyone cheat to lose?" He and Daniel had been schooled by a master. Hearing what he said, all of the people present stopped talking. Sven chugged the bottle of brandy, which made everyone swallow hard and hold on to their stomachs. How could Daniel and Sven... hold their liquor so good? They could even drink the whole bottle without having any sort of problem at all. He took his car key out of his pocket and shook it in front of Nicole''s eyes. "Nicole, I drank too much, and you almost didn''t drink at all. Please drive me home." "OK." Sven''s face was really flushed after drinking all of that brandy. Nicole took the bag behind her, grabbed the car key from Sven''s hand, and then went out of the private room with him. "Jerry, do you also think that my brother and Sven had the intention of picking up women here today?" Sally seriously doubted the two men. But Jerry just leaned back on the back of the sofa, just smiling and keeping his silence. Their purpose had been obvious from the very beginning. Everyone in the room could''ve seen it. "This is outrageous! Let me have a look at their dices and see if they were really cheating!" Selina picked up the Sven and Daniel''s dice sets. She shook them and looked at them carefully, but the dices were just the same as theirs. Bill now felt bored since J had already left. He thought that he could beg his grandpa to not send him to Africa. "Goodbye, everyone. I''m leaving!" Jerry and Sally also when Bill left. The party was over. Ang was now alone, since her brother had just wanted to pick up a hot woman, and Cole sent her home. When she arrived at home, she immediately went to knock on her parent''s bedroom door. Chuck opened the door, and said, "What''s wrong, Ang?" "Dad! I''m telling my brother off!" Daisy, wearing a facial mask, asked, "What did your brother do ?" "Dad! Mom! My brother was out in town picking up women!" Daisy shook her head and thought that she already knew what a yboy her son really was! To break up with hisst girlfriend, he had thrown Jane under a bus! What a yboy he was! "This is not his first time. Don''t be so surprised." Chapter 121 Do You Even Know Who Your Son Is Chasing Chapter 121 Do You Even Know Who Your Son Is Chasing Chuck smiled at his daughter and was just about to close the door. But Ang was anxious, and she immediately wedged herself in the door to stop it from closing. "Mother, do you even know who your son is chasing?" she asked. Chuck was worried that Ang would be hurt, and so he opened the door again, and said, "Be careful! Don''t get hurt." "Father, do you know? My brother is chasing after Nicole!" said Ang. Daisy, who was rubbing her face, calmly said, "Nicole... What Nicole?" Immediately after she asked she ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. moved a couple of inches away from Ang. Ang was shocked and replied, "Mother, it''s Nicole, mother* L''s daughter!" This time, Daisy realized the seriousness of the matter, and Chuck also looked pretty pensive. Daisy then quickly took off the mask she was applying on her face and immediately picked up her phone to call her son. "What on Earth is he doing now? Can''t he just hang out with Nicole?" said Chuck. He wondered since when his son had be so unreliable. Daisy soon got through with Sven on the phone, but at that moment Sven was climbing the stairs along with Nicole. When he saw that his mother was calling him, Sven knew that it was Ang who had ratted him out! "Mother, I''m going to bed now, I''m really sleepy. If there''s anything, let''s talk about it tomorrow!" said Sven. "You''re going to bed? With who?" Daisy was a little nervous when she asked her son this question. Sven nced at Nicole, who was already in his apartment now, and replied, "That''s my own business, so please don''t be so indiscreet." "Sven Si! Why are you so capricious? You can''t hook up with Nicole! She''s not the sort of yful girl that you usually date, and you can''t flirt with her and can''t be so willing to be with her!" said Daisy. She didn''t want her son to screw up things. Sven massaged the painful spot between his eyebrows, and said, "Why am I capricious? I know what I''m doing, and please don''t interfere in my affairs, OK?" Daisy kept her silence for a while, and then gently asked, "Sven, are you really serious?" "Um, " replied Sven. He then stood up and went to get Nicole a ss of water. Daisy thought for a whole, and said, "Sven, Nicole is about six years older than you are... Oh no, it''s actually seven years. I can''t ept this. You''re younger than her and you''re not right for each other." She also thought that they had little inmon and wouldn''t have anything inmon. After Sven filled the ss with water, he put it in front of Nicole. Nicole smiled at him, and heard him say, "Age isn''t important here, and what really counts is that Nicole is a woman and I''m a man! That''s enough!" He thought that no matter how old a woman was, she still needed to be cared for and protected by a man. Nicole raised the ss of water to her lips. But she didn''t drink the water at all. She was wondering what Sven had meant with that... "Are you with Nicole now?" asked Daisy. She was confused, and thought that perhaps maybe Nicole wasn''t in Sven''s apartment, because Sven was a clean freak just like Chuck was, and never took his girlfriends to his apartment... "Mother, I''m not a child anymore. You just take care of Ang and don''t worry about me. I have to hang up now! Bye!" said Sven. He sat opposite to Nicole and then they began to look at each other. "Sven Si, I warn you! Behave yourself! Otherwise, I won''t let you off so easily!" Daisy kept on warning and threatening Sven, but Sven had already hung up the phone on her. When Daisy called him again, she found that his phone had been also powered off. "Sven, what did you mean just now?" asked Nicole. She probably understood what he meant, but she still wanted to ask Sven to confirm it for her. Sven reclined on the sofa and looked at her, smiling. "Nicole, be my girlfriend!" he said. ... There were a lot of men who had chased her. And there were also countless men who had expressed their love for her, but she had just ignored them. Perhaps it was because of her rich family that she grew up as ady bearing high tastes; she didn''t care about any ordinary, normal things. The same applied to the men. Sven... She just breathed and pondered for a while, and then said, "Sven, mother* Daisy just said that our age..." "Yes, she did mention of that earlier, but I don''t think that age really matters, " said Sven. He suddenly stood up and sat beside Nicole. He sternly looked her into her eyes, and said, "You''re a woman, and more than that, you''re also a capable woman, but no matter how capable you are, you still need a man to look after you from time to time." He thought that he could look after her and take care of her. At that moment, it became very quiet in the apartment. Nicole, who was blushing, moved aside to make more room for him. "I... I''m sorry, Sven. You''re too young and maybe we''re not right for each other, " she said. Although they had indeed kissed each other, she knew that that was just a game, and she didn''t want to ruin the whole vibe. Sven moved closer to her, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, and made her turn towards him to face him. "Nicole, you ignored your father''s objections, and lived and worked in America all of these years. Do you really enjoy life there?" asked Sven. Nicole blinked and kept her eyes off him. "I''m very well off there. Everyone is afraid of the SL Group''s power and no one dares to bully me there, " she said. "You''ve just focused on your work every single day and you''ve be a workaholic like your father. You''re not even married yet, and do you know that your father and mother are very anxious about you and your future?" said Sven. When she heard him, Nicole stared at him and was a little bit confused, because she had no idea of that. Her father and mother had never urged her to get married! Sven smiled and then slowly got closer to her; Nicole could even smell the alcohol vaporsing out of him. He was handsome, but he now acted like a rowdy. "Sven, don''t..." said Nicole. She wanted to push Sven''s arm away because of the strange feeling he gave her, but Sven didn''t release Nicole from his grip, and even pressed her on the sofa, kissing her... Perhaps she was enchanted by the strong alcohol taste in his mouth, and Nicole didn''t push him away again. "Nicole, I don''t want you to be my sister; I just want you to be my... woman, " said Sven. Nicole slightly gasped and looked at Sven who pressed on her body more and more. "I... Let me think it over and I''ll tell you my decision, " she said. Sven had showed his love for her all of a sudden, and Nicole was a little stunned by this. "Give me your answer right now!" said Sven. He knew that Nicole would fly back to America tomorrow afternoon. Nicole thought for a moment and then shook her head, and said, "I live in America all year round, and you''re here. A long distance rtionship... I can''t ept." "Nicole, you wille back sooner orter. Do you really want to marry a foreigner?" said Sven. When he uttered thatst sentence, he gripped her wrist even more tightly. She, of course, wouldn''t marry a foreigner, because although she lived in America throughout the year, she didn''t really like foreigners at all and also wouldn''t marry any of them. "I just... I can''te back as often as I want, " said Nicole. Sven looked at her lovely lips and couldn''t help but kiss them again. "Nicole, it''s time for you to get married. Pleasee back to C Country and marry me..." he said. Moreover, Sven took out a ring and put it on Nicole''s ring finger. So... What had happened tonight had been already nned by him and J. Tonight was Sven''s perfect opportunity to express his love; yesterday and tomorrow wouldn''t do. At that moment, when Nicole looked at the diamond ring on her finger, she waspletely bbergasted. Sven had not only confessed his love, but had also proposed to her for marriage! He knew that Nicole was at an age that prompted her to believe that getting married was way more important than casual dating. He had nned to marry Nicole first and then take good care of her. Chapter 122 Scolded by His Own Son Chapter 122 Scolded by His Own Son "Sven..." said Nicole. "I love hearing you call my name. I''ll give you some time to consider my proposal, but you have to wear the ring on your finger. Don''t ever take it off!" said Sven. "..." Then, Nicole''s phone rang in her handbag, and she initially wanted to get up from the sofa to answer it, but Sven took it out of her handbag before her and then passed it over to her. "Tell your mother that you''re noting home tonight, " demanded Sven. "No..." said Nicole. "Listen to me, Nicole. I want you to be my woman, " said Sven. Sven was actually very anxious now, because he had already sent someone to investigate all of the people that hanged around her in America, and he had found out that there was arge group of men that was already chasing her. He couldn''t let some other guy have the chance to steal her away from him after he had just confessed his love to her. Now, he had to make Nicole his woman for good; he would definitely be her first and only man, ording to Nicole''s character. Nicole''s phone was still ringing, and her face flushed bright red as she refused Sven''s offer. "No, if I don''t return, my father will..." "Then tell your father that you''re at your friend''s house and that you''re noting back tonight!" insisted Sven. If Nicole didn''t return home tonight, he would go and meet the Si family together with his own parents tomorrow, and ask for blessings for their marriage. Nicole felt uneasy, and demanded, "Please let go of me first." She had never been so intimate and close to a man before, and she was quite scared and intimidated now. Sven stood up from her, and Nicole felt a little bit more rxed. She then sat up from the sofa and answered her phone, which had already rang twice by then. "Mom!" she said. "Nicole, where are you now? Why haven''t youe back home yet?" asked L. Nicole took a nce at the man who is staring at her, and she lowered down her voice, and said, "Mom, I''m at my friend''s house, I''m...ing..." She initially didn''t want to lie to her mother like Sven had told her, but the man then suddenly held onto her waist with his arms around her... "Mom, I''m noting home tonight. You and dad sleep tight, please." Nicole eventually corrected her words. L, on the other side of the line, thought of Daisy''s phone call, and she felt that something was indeed not going right. Daisy had called her earlier and had asked her to make sure Nicole arrived home earlier. "Why aren''t youing back home tonight?" asked L. Nicole gnawed on her lower lip and pondered on what she would say next; she had never lied to her parents. Sven wanted to take the phone from her hands and talk with L himself. But Nicole was frightened, and she hastily grabbed back her phone from him, and answered in a rush, "Mom, I haven''t met with my friend for a long time, and we just want to catch up more with what each other has done over the past couple of years." "Which friend of yours?" asked L again. L saw her husband''s darkened face and decided to go on asking her. Nicole felt so helpless that she really didn''t know how to make up a solid, credible story, because this was the first time she had told a lie to her parents. Sven saw her bewildered look, and as he tried to grab her phone again, Nicole gripped her phone even tighter in her hands, and replied, "Mom, it''s just a new friend I made in America; you don''t know her. Please don''t insist on asking more, I''ll hang up now." After she ended the call, Harry frowned his eyebrows. He had clearly heard all what his daughter had spoken on the phone because L had it switched on the loud speaker. He then took out his own phone called Chuck Si. "Chuck, when did youst see Nicole?" asked Harry. ''My daughter wasn''t acting normal! She talked with a stutter; that never happened before!'' thought Harry. "I actually didn''t see Nicole. It was Ang who told me that... Nicole and Sven were together, " answered Chuck. Chuck was aware that this was a big deal, and so he didn''t try to cover anything up. Harry frowned even more when he heard this, and asked, ''Should she be together with Sven sote of night? Even if the man is Sven, it''s reallyte...'' he thought. "Is Sven living in the same apartment as he used to?" asked Harry. Chuck answered him, and tried to persuade him. "Yes. But we, as the elders, had better not intervene in the younger one''s affairs." Chuck thought that if Sven and Nicole were both willing to be together, it didn''t matter that much. But Harry, as her father, wouldn''t agree to let Sven touch his own daughter without ensuring her legal status yet. "But doesn''t Sven already have a girlfriend?" asked Harry. Sven and Nicole were the only names that sounded in Harry''s mind right now. Chuck immediately said, "No, he''s already broken up with his girlfriend a long time ago!" "OK, I understand. I''ll discuss this with L." Harry then hung up the phone, his facepletely darkened. ''Sven, you little brat, you dared to hook up my eldest daughter! But, if you''re serious, I might consider it. But, if you''re just out ying, then...'' After Harry pondered the matter for a minute, he soon called Daniel. At that moment, Daniel and J were still getting even with each other on the pink wide bed. "Daniel, my father will kill me if I don''t return home, at least for the Spring Festival!" said J. "If you want to go home, I''ll drive you backter, " replied Daniel. ''What''s the point of drinking a whole bottle of liquor if I''ll just let you go so easily?'' thought Daniel. He also had intended to teach the woman a lesson, who had be so bold now that she even dared to go on a date with Brian, and to hide it from him... J rested her hands on the man''s chest, and said, "I have to go home now! If you want a woman, please go and find Kate, I won''t... Ah!" She didn''t obey him, and that made Daniel start on her. However, soon enough, Daniel''s phone suddenly rang. He got really annoyed by it, and he eventually answered it in a rage. "Couldn''t you pick a better time to call?" Harry was being scolded by his own son without any clear reason. He asked, "Where''re you now?" "On a woman''s bed!" Daniel impatiently answered his father. Hearing his words, J, who was lying under him, instantly covered her red face, and wondered why Daniel knew nothing about shame! "... Which woman?" asked Harry curiously. This was also another one of his concerns. "J Shao!" Daniel spoke out her name, which made Harry feel quite satisfied of him. J covered her face with a pillow, feeling ashamed, and thought ''Oh no! This is so shameful, now even father* and mother* know all about it!'' (*TN: sworn father, sworn mother.) "Have you started yet? If not, get up right now! Go to Sven''s apartment and bring your sister back home!" demanded Harry. The weird conversation between father and son really dumbfounded L, who was standing close to the phone. "My elder sister is in Sven''s apartment?" asked Daniel, confirming his words. At the same time, he pulled away the pillow covering J''s face, and thought ''Does she want to die suffocated?'' "Yes. Sven''s phone is off limits, and your sister told us that she''s at her friend''s house, " said Harry. "Listen, my sister lied to you, indeed, but what do you want me to do about it? She doesn''t want to cards well. He sure has his tactics if he got to Nicole! But if he''s just ying her, I won''t let him off so easily!'' thought Daniel. Daniel''s words left Harry speechless.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Then, Daniel continued, "You just sleep tight in your bed with your wife. I''ll call my sister and see what''s happening, and if something is going wrong, I''ll go and pick her up, okay?" Daniel had finally said something to ease up Harry''s tension. Nicole was, after all, his sister, and of course he worried about her. "You still have a little conscience left in you, you little brat! Now, leaving Sven and Nicole aside, when are you going to get married to Jane?" said Harry. "I have no time to talk about this matter with you at the moment. But don''t worry, I won''t let Jane run away; and please, can you and your wife take it a little bit more easy?" said Daniel. Regarding their marriage, Daniel felt kind of distressed and uneasy, as he had already proposed to J, but was ruthlessly refused by her. When he thought of this, Daniel wanted to punish J even harder now. ''How could you refuse my proposal! Is there any other woman in this world that could refuse me? You''re just a woman that can''t tell the good from the bad!'' thought Daniel. When Daniel finished his call with Harry, he called Nicole. "Hey, get off of me first. Go ahead and see to your important thing, " said J. She then tried pushing the man aside, but the man didn''t move an inch while he waited for the call to be connected. Chapter 123 Before You Do It, Think It Twice Chapter 123 Before You Do It, Think It Twice Daniel lowered his head and pressed his lips over hers while holding his phone near his ear. It wasn''t until he got through to Nicole that he released J from his kiss. "Nicole, I''ming to pick you up, " he said. But Nicole replied in a low voice, "No, thanks. I will go hometer." "Nicole, be careful what you do, and before you do it, think it twice!" said Daniel. Hey on one side of the bed beside J, holding her with his free arm. He was also thinking that only Sven and Nicole were staying in the apartment that evening, just like Jane and himself were. It wasn''t that simple! "... Um, okay, I see. Go to bed early, " said Nicole. After uttering these words, Nicole hung up the phone. At that moment, she had been in a passive state, whilst Sven, who seemed to be a little tipsy from all the booze he had drunk, kissed her wildly. "Sven, you''re drunk. Let me go!" said Nicole. She pushed Sven away, who was pressing on her body. Sven then immediately looked up at her, and said, "I''m sober as a priest on Sunday. Nicole, listen, I''ll allow you to go back to America tomorrow, and I''ll also give you... a month at most to make your decision, at most. You''ll then change your workce ande back here, and if you don''t want to work in C Country, you can also choose to work in A Country. After all, Chuck has a hospital there, where I can work." At present, Sven didn''t have any ns to further his career abroad, but if Nicole liked America so much, he would consider moving and working there for her. "Um... I understand, " said Nicole. She again tried to push him away. Sven got off her, turned over, and then tightly held her in his arms. "Now, I want you to be my woman, " he said. However, he still had to ask her if she also wanted it, because it was not an insignificant matter after all... Nicole nced at Sven, who had now closed his eyes. In fact, if Sven had ever forced her to do it tonight, she would''ve refused him straight away. But now, he endured the pain, and asked of her opinion on the matter... "I don''t trust you, " softly whispered Nicole. She was being held tightly in his arms. They had met many times before, but they had seldom talked to one another, and Nicole had never paid any close attention to Sven. But this time, all happened in a sudden. It felt strange, because now Nicole seemed to not be disgusted with Sven when he got closer to her... Her ex-boyfriend had been in a rtionship with her for four years, but he had eventually cheated on her because he couldn''t stand her fuddy-duddy ideas any longer... "Nicole, both father and mother* are keeping an eye on you, and if I just want to flirt or sleep with a woman, I won''t do that with you." If Sven just wanted to casually date a woman, there were a lot of them out there who were more than willing to y with him; he wouldn''t have gone through all the trouble to convince Harry''s daughter to date him. Sven''s words reassured Nicole a bit and, after all, their family members often got together, so Sven would never dare to deceive her. Nicole, who was holding Sven''srge palm, buried her face in his chest, and then with a muffled voice, she said, "But, I''m afraid..." Sven understood that she was afraid, because she had never even been kissed by a man before today. He quickly turned over and again kissed Nicole''s mouth, leading her into another whole world with his sweet, caring love. At about midnight Daniel and J now stood in front of the old house, pushing each other around. Daniel had wanted to send J to her own house, but J didn''t let hime in. They were locked in a stalemate. "If you won''t let me enter your house, you''ll have to leave with me, " warned Daniel. He was very disappointed, because he wanted to be held ountable for Jane and she just kept refusing him over and over again. If J continued to refuse him like this, he would then have to take matters into his own hands, and directly go to her house to propose her for marriage, without her consent. "I don''t want you to enter my house, or leave with you either!" said J. Daniel didn''t want to argue with her anymore, so he dragged her into his car again. After he helped her fasten her seat belt, he decided to call Samuel and tell him about what had happened. When she saw that Daniel''s phone screen lit up, J knew that he was about to call her father. She immediately grabbed his phone out of his hand and cancelled the call. "I''ll call Samuel and I''ll tell him personally, " she said. She realized that if her father knew that she was dating Daniel, he wouldn''t let her off so easily! J then called her mother, and said, "Mother, I won''t being back home tonight." "Where are you? Your father keeps waiting for you to show up, " said E. She was standing in front of the window alongside with Samuel, watching the car that was parked in front of the old house. Samuel had already seen what J and Daniel had done in front the house just now. "Well, I''m in... the Waterside Apartment, and I''m going to bed now, " replied J. E had already been there once, and before she had went there, J had managed to hide away all of the things that belonged to Daniel. But E still found out of her secret, because she found an automatic shaver and two toothbrushes in the bathroom... Samuel sighed, and didn''t understand why nowadays young people didn''t dare to confess openly about their love affairs. "J, is Daniel unwilling to be in a rtionship with you?" asked E. She then suddenly changed her tone of voice and wondered why her daughter had begun to lie to them in the first ce. "No, no, mother. That''s my own, private affair. Just don''t step in it, please!" replied J. How could she exin it to her mother and father when she herself was still puzzled about their rtionship? She could only hide it from them at the moment, and could tell them the truth about it only after she had it clear enough for herself. E was angry at her, and said, "We should invite Daniel over for dinner some day and talk it over!" Uttering these words, she then directly hang up the phone on her. E wanted to figure out who was the one to me, J or Daniel. "Um, Daniel is living with Jane now, but he often attends all kinds of parties along with Kate. Could it be that Daniel doesn''t take Jane to any event just because she is not that excellent as she is?" asked E. When he thought this, Samuel was also became very furious. Daniel had already told Samuel that he liked Jane, but now he was secretly dating her. Did he really like her after all? They pondered on the issue all night long. Because ofst night''s debauchery, Sven woke up an hourte than usual and found that it was already past eight o''clock in the morning. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. He also found that Nicole, who had slept next to him all night, had already woken up and disappeared. Sven wrapped himself in a bath towel and looked all around the apartment for her, but to no avail. He then thought about it for a little while, and guessed that if Nicole had went back home in advance, just because she was shy and had felt embarrassed to see him the morning after. He believed that what he thought was correct. He then called his mother and father. "Mother, please get yourselves ready. I''m going to Nicole''s house to propose her for marriage." He found a more formal suit in his wardrobe andid it out on his bed. When he saw by chance the sshes of red drops on his bed sheet, he raised the corners of his lips up with satisfaction. "Ah?" Daisy, who was then drinking a cup of soy milk, suddenly spit it out, making her look the least elegant at the breakfast table. Chuck immediately passed her a tissue and helped her wipe the soy milk stains off her; he then asked a servant to bring another breakfast on the table. "Well, alright. You don''t have to prepare anything, I''ll arrange to that, " said Sven. He nned to write a dowry check first for the bride, and the price he wrote was... Ny-nine million nine hundred and ny thousand! After that, he thought that he would take Nicole to find a suitable new house for them to live in... That sounded great! "OK!" said Daisy. When she told Chuck the news, he also almost choked on the fried bread stick he was eating. ''Why does Sven suddenly want to get married? Does he really want to get married? What happened between themst night...'' pondered Chuck. At the Li Manor L, who had received the phone call, came to the door to greet Sven and his parents. Daisy, who was very happy because of the fortunate event, smiled and held L''s hand. She had never thought that her son would ever fall in love with Nicole! Harry, who knew that Nicole had stayed with Svenst night, didn''t look too well, but he still tapped Sven on the shoulder. They sat in the living room, and the servant brought them first-ss tea and pastries. Chapter 124 Bill Did Go To Africa Chapter 124 Bill Did Go To Africa Sven nced at the staircase, and wondered, ''Why didn''t Je downstairs?'' "Chuck, why have youe?" While he was asking Chuck, Harry fixed his eye on Sven. Sven then regained his consciousness, took out an envelope out of his breast pocket, and then handed it over to Harry. He then said, "Godfather, I''m here to ask for your blessings, and I hope you and godmother can give them to me and let me marry Nicole!" "Blessings?" Harry and L were shocked. They already knew that Nicole and Sven had been together, but they didn''t expect him to propose to her so soon. Harry was happy about this, and after he took the envelop and put it aside, he said sternly, "We agree, and I''ll keep your betrothal present here, for now." Harry was pretty upset. Seeing the look on his daughter''s face this morning, Harry had no choice but to agree to their sudden marriage. Sven smiled and then sat back on his seat but, however, Harry''s next words took away all of his joy. "Nicole was going to take the afternoon flight today, but she suddenly changed her mind and left with the morning one." "Don''t worry, godfather. I''ll handle it as long as you and godmother agree with the marriage." He had decided to give Nicole a week''s time to think about it. He would go to America to ask her again by then. Sven told the media that Nicole was now his fiancee the second he walked out of the Si''s Mansion. He wanted everyone know that Nicole was about to marry him. If everyone knew and gossiped about it, then Nicole surely be his fiancee. Then Sven''s phone suddenly exploded with the sudden ie of messages. Including Nicole''s, who had run away... Her phone almost shattered because of all the messages and calls she had received before she had gotten off the ne; all of them were asking about her marriage with Sven. After picking up on a few calls, she now knew that Sven had already imed that they were engaged. ... J''s shop would be officially back in business after the Lantern Festival. Meanwhile, Shirley came from her hometown and was appointed as the shop''s main manager there. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. J rented a house for Shirley and also paid for her rent as a bonus for her employment. It wasn''t that far away from the Waterside Apartment Complex. At first, she wanted Shirley to live together with her, but because Daniel was staying at her ce everyday, she gave up on the idea. As far as J knew, Kate had now recovered from her gunshot injury and could get back to work. After the first month of the lunar year, Daniel would focus more on his work in America. He had told J that, and he wanted to take her there, but she refused him. Daniel was so furious with her that he flew straight to America without telling J a single thing. But before J found out what happened, Daniel had been working in America for three days already. J checked her phone everyday andined about how ruthless Daniel really was because he hadn''t yet contacted her. Every day when she opened the news about America, she found that it was basically all about Daniel, and asionally Nicole. Now that Kate had left the scene, the woman that revolved most around Daniel was the daughter of an Americanpany tycoon. It was the seventh day after Daniel had left the country, and J was furious since he still hadn''t called or texted her. He was driving her crazy! She was missing him so much! She hired two locksmiths, and changed the door''s lock at the Waterside Apartment. Then she blocked his phone, unfriended him on WeChat, and blocked every one of his messages forever. But that was useless. The media was reporting news about Daniel every single day, and it didn''t matter if it was either for the financial sector of the news or the entertainment sector; she could still see Daniel. She was very upset, and thought to herself, ''He''s the president of a multinationalpany, but why is he also in the entertainment headlines?'' Later on, she understood that it was because Daniel was being spied on by paparazzi more and more often. For example, the media had photographed Kate appearing inside Daniel''s vi in the United States, and also wrote that she didn''t leave it until morning''s time. Another piece of news, for instance, reported that an international first-line movie star, along with Daniel, had appeared at a corporate''s celebration party. After the party, they had went straight to the hotel... Although all of these news pieces were only spections, because Daniel didn''t admit to any of them, the media had still photographed him. Daniel also didn''t fix this issue, and instead let the newspapers propel him to the first-page headlines. Just when J was about to cut off for good the rtionship between her and Daniel, she read another interesting piece of news. The US media had reported that the first-line model that had a room with Daniel was kidnapped and was seriously injured. It was just like what happened to Kate and her gunshot wound. In the spring, J took Shirley to Africa just to have some fun. And also that she had heard that Bill did, indeed, go to Africa to maintain world peace... J was stunned by the man who was smiling at her, letting his white teeth show, and wondered how did Bill had be so tanned in such a short period of time... She could only see his teeth sparkling in the distance. However, not only Bill''s appearance had changed. He became more prudent. She found outter why; it was because of the frequent riots that happened on the border, and Bill had experienced both life and death when he saved people. That made him understand how precious life really was and how much he really cared about his loved ones. It was sunset, and Bill carried his infantry gun and sat with J under a palm tree and looked at the sun slowly falling in the horizon above the White Nile. "Jane, after you return home, you should cherish the people around you more, because human life is really fragile, and maybe someday you won''t have the chance to see them again, ever. You can''t imagine the pain of being separated from your loved ones forever! Jane, take care of yourself, and know that if you''re happy, then I''ll be happy. And thank Daniel on my behalf. He sent me here and gave me the chance to learn about pain and suffering. You may not believe it, but there are still many people left in the world who don''t have ess to daily food and drinking water... Jane, don''t waste anymore food or water when you go back home, or I will hate you for it!" ... J looked at the nagging tanned man in front of her... She was speechless for now, but little did she know that soon enough she would also experience the suffering that Bill had just told her about. "Bill,e home with me! I will ask Da... grandpa Han to bring you back home." Bill had changed a lot in just a short time. If he had stayed there for much longer, she would have eventually been unable to recognize him anymore. Bill shook his head, and said, "Tell Daniel do more charity work and help those who really need it, no matter if they''re in C Country or overseas." J argued with him, and said, "Daniel has always been doing charity work. He often participates in charity auctions, and the media has photographed him many times when he went to welfare and nursing homes." ''How else did the SL Group be so powerful?'' If apany only made money, then its leader must''ve been ruthless. But Daniel wasn''t, and she knew that despite Daniel was cold on the outside, he was warm and kind on the inside. Bill looked at J, who was now protecting her man, and said, "Jane, if you love him, just seize the opportunity and cherish him while you can; don''t wait until you lose it." Chapter 125 Nicole was Pregnant Chapter 125 Nicole was Pregnant ''Cherish him...'' J felt distressed, and thought that indeed, she actually wanted to cherish him with all her heart. But Daniel, as an important CEO, was constantly surrounded by different women everyday, and J thought that he might had totally forgotten about her long ago. "If Daniel Si can''t bring you the happiness you yearn for, then please take my cousin Brian into consideration. He''s definitely a reliable man!" Bill said this while patting his chest to show that he vouched for him. J of course knew that Brian was indeed a reliable man, but she then said, "I just consider Brian as my brother, the same as Jerry is, and I don''t hold any sort of sweet feelings of love for him." She could easily feel those sweet emotions when Daniel coaxed her or tricked her. "s! then please take care of yourself in all of your affairs. I can''t bring you any sort of happiness anymore because I''ve made up my mind to stay here for a long period of time and to help those who are in need of help the most, " said Bill. His decision dumbfounded J so much that she now just stared at him with her mouth opened wide. ''What did Bill experience here? In just only one month, a rich yboy, who wasn''t changed even by his rough training courses in the military troop unit, became determined to stay in Africa and help the needy!'' thought J. "Jane, I''m really happy that you''vee to visit me here. And from now on, I''ll drop the idea of ever loving you, but just so you know, I won''t love any other women, and instead I''ll concentrate only on my career here, " said Bill. ... J was speechless at what he said. She looked at the Nile river and enjoyed the beauty orange sunset reflecting in it. "Bill, I''m not sure if I should fully support you, but if you really want to stay here, then just do it and follow your heart no matter what, " said J. Judging from Bill''s words, J thought that it was dangerous there, and she could hardly agree with Bill''s decision to stay there for a longer period of time. But if that was his true choice, then she had to agree with it and leave him alone. "OK. Jane, please take good care of yourself when you go back home. And get married as soon as possible, I''ll be sure toe back and attend your wedding ceremony!" said Bill. "Yeah. We''ll keep in touch, and remember to call me whenever you have signal here to keep me in touch with all of your heroic deeds!" said J. J patted his shoulder in a brotherly manner; she was really proud of Bill! The sun had almost went down over horizon, and Bill escorted J back to the only hotel in town. In the evening, he and some of hisrades took turns to guard the hotel room''s door to ensure the two girls'' safety. Early next morning, when J opened the door, she found they had kept their guard at the door the whole entire night. J was deeply moved by this, and instantly her eyes filled with tears. "Bill, please go and rest, otherwise you''ll have no energy to work today, " demanded J. "No, it''s not necessary. When is your flight? I''ll drive you to the airport, " said Bill. Bill and hisrades were used to staying up all night. J looked at her wristwatch, and said, "At about ten o''clock." Bill managed to borrow a battered old military car and he, together with other tworades, escorted the girls to the airport. After Bill helped them check in their luggage, J held tight on Bill''s arm, and said, "Bill, please take good care of yourself here. I''lle and visit you again whenever I''m free again." Bill''s eyes reddened, and he said, "Jane, please don''te here ever again if everything''s going well with you. As you may have found out already, it''s not too safe here." Then she stepped back and shook her head. "Bill, no, I''lle again. Take care, and always remember that the most important thing is keeping alive, no matter what''ll happen next!" said J. Bill gently kissed J''s forehead, who had been his first, andst, love. He then waved a farewell to them, and he didn''t leave until he saw J and Shirley enter the departures hall. As she was influenced by Bill''s actions, when J came back home, she asked her shop workers to make more desserts. She then visited and delivered the desserts to the children''s welfare house and old people''s home on her own. J had simply wanted to deliver her desserts to the people there, but she was photographed by the reporters that were hidden outside the welfare house, and then she was broadcast on the news, again. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. J didn''t know that she was on the news again until some reporters went to her cake shop to interview her. Facing the camera, J wore a rigid smile and shook her hands to the reporters. "Please don''t interview me, " she said, "It''s not that much of a big deal." In the end, the reporters failed interviewing J. But from that day on, J had to send her employees to do the charity work instead of her. The Winter soon turned into Spring. J was famous and had hit the hot topics again on the Inte, as the media told frequent news about her cake shop''s frequent charity work. Then, more and more charity projects and foundations sent their invitations to her. She cautiously picked up the real, functioning projects, and turned down all the projects that had the media present there. That was because she didn''t want to over expose her affairs and doings. Daniel had already been in America for almost two months now, and Sven, who had nned to get married with Nicole, frequently called J out to go out and drink beer with himte at night, without any particr reason at all. Every time he got drunk, he just kept calling Nicole''s name, and kept murmuring things like, "Nicole has no conscience" or "her words didn''t really mean anything" etc. But then one day he was asked to go to the Eastern Manor. Because Nicole was pregnant. Needless to say, everyone was well aware of who the baby''s father was. In the end, Sven was actually getting married to Nicole. And when Sven came to visit J again, on this asion he wore a big smile on his face. And he even ced an order of some special desserts at Jane''s cake shop, as he nned to send them out together with the wedding invitation cards and the wedding candy. The wedding ceremony was set one monthter, which was three days before J''s birthday. J kept busy with Sven''s desserts personally on that day, and then she quickly changed into her evening dress because she had to attend a charity''s award ceremony held by the country''s government. As time was limited, she simply tied up her hair, put on some light make-up, and painted her lips with a rosy color lipstick before she hurried to the event. Her namete was ced in the first row, and it was convenient for her to simply walk up the stage and ept the award. There were a lot of reporters from different magazines and television posts there, which made J feel nervous while she kept taking deep breaths more and more often; she repeated her mother''s words in her mind: "Jane, just perform as you usually do, and forget about them ever existing. And always remember to keep your smile bright!" Unfortunately, the person who sat right next to her was Kate Song. Kate was dressed in a blue evening dress, which made her look attractive, and mature. Because she had been known as Daniel''s girlfriend, she was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, who were always ready to ask about her affairs with Daniel or anything concerned about Daniel. When one reporter asked her about Daniel''s recent activities and if she was at a stable rtionship with Daniel, she grinned a happy and sweet smile, and replied, "He''s quite busy with his work in America these days, and everything is going well between us. Thank you for your concerns." J was carefully listening to Kate''s answer when another reporter came to her side and also interviewed her. "Miss Shao, are you Mr. Si''s sworn sister?" The reporter was a woman with a round face, and fat, and she looked like a kind person. J nodded her head, and said, "Yes, I''m his sworn sister." The female reported smiled to show her understanding, and then she continued to ask her, "I heard that you have a boyfriend, and that he''s a military officer. How''s everything going ontely between the two of you?" "Well, he..." After a second thought, J corrected her words, and said, "He isn''t my boyfriend, actually. Those were just some groundless rumors, and please don''t tarnish his excellent reputation because of them." The female reporter seemed to be quite shocked when she heard her words, and asked again, "Then what about the younger son of the Han family, Bill Han? I heard that he was quite passionately chasing after you during your college days." Chapter 126 Thats Daniels Business Chapter 126 That''s Daniel''s Business "We''re just good friends. He''s gone to Africa and dedicated himself to world peace. He''s doing great now!" J was proud that she had a friend like Bill. "Well, is then Miss Shao still single at the present moment?" "Yeah, kind of; but there is someone I hold dear in my heart." J answered the reporter very sincerely. She then tried to ask her more questions, and said, "Miss Shao, would you mind if I asked you several questions regarding this matter?" J then showed her a sweet smile and nodded. "Miss Shao, what does your crush do for a living? Does he also support phnthropic undertakings, like you do?" J smiled happily when thinking of the one she really loved. "He is just an ordinary person in my heart, and yes, he is very supportive of various phnthropic undertakings. He often donates money to welfare homes and other shelters." "Really? Thetter part sounds just like your sworn brother Mr. Si. Is... it really him?" There was only one reporter that had asked her, so she didn''t show any exclusion towards the question. She might also have been considering something, but she said, "Daniel already has a girlfriend, but he is indeed really excellent. I think I may refer to him as a standard for my boyfriend''s standards." J covered her emotions with her sweet smile. Kate, who was also interviewed by reporters, always kept an ear open to J''s interview. The reporter carefully observed the expression drawn on J''s face, but failed to figure out anything incriminating in the end. It was exactly what a sister would say to praise her brother. "Well, would you mind if Kate will be your sworn sister-inw in the near future?" Kate smiled at J when she heard her name. All the cameras were focused on J and Kate now; J was still immersed in her own deep thoughts, and she answered the reporter in a creeping inertia. "I don''t like her, but that''s Daniel''s business whether they are going to marry or not. I... will give them my blessing." All the reporters present were shocked by J''s answer. Kate''s face turned pale almost in an instant; she had spoken in front of the reporters and people of all over the world. ''How could she answer that question without even thinking?'' thought Kate. In this case, Kate didn''t have to pretend to be nice with her anymore. "I can tell you why she doesn''t like me; it''s because the one she loves is my boyfriend. She likes Daniel, do you understand now?" Kate spoke in a normal and casual tone, but what she had just said was really startling for all the people. All the reporters then turned to J, who was still not aware of what had happened until all the camera shes flickered on her face. "Miss Shao, is that true? Do you really love Mr. Si?" "Miss Shao, are you the third person standing between Miss Song and Mr. Si?" J''s face instantly turned pale when she heard the words "the third person". But they were right, because she did seem to be like the third person. J took a deep breath and stared at the reporter who was wearing sses. "My father is Samuel Shao. My mother is E Shao. My brother is Jerry Shao. Why should I be the third person? Sir, I advise you to be careful because I can easily sue you for libel if you don''t have evidence for you just assumed." "Then what''s your rtionship with Mr. Si now?" J tried to calm herself down. "I have nothing to do with him now. Doesn''t he already have a girlfriend? Do you wish to damage our reputation by spreading this kind of rumors?" The reporters would''t let J go so easily, but the host had just announced the beginning of the charity event. So they just dispersed reluctantly, and J thus felt a little bit more relieved. Everyone was now seated. J clenched her fists tightly as she tried hard to resist the urge to punch Kate straight in her face. "It''s a great honor to have you here. I''m today''s host, Feifei..." After the host and government leaders'' congrattory speech, the charity awards evening kicked off its start. J''s shop was selected as one of the top ten charitable enterprises in C Country, and she stood on the stage with a smile on her face, struggling to maintain at all costs. J had now been exposed to the public during the award evening, and that included her inner most personal emotions. It left a scar. After the award evening ended, J and Kate were again surrounded by the reporters. They were closely following her, and they asked her question after question, but J just stared at the cameras and didn''t utter a single word. The reporters eventually felt embarrassed because of her silence and didn''t know whether they should continue asking or not. At that very moment, a thick-skinned reporter then held his microphone up to J''s mouth, and asked, "Miss Shao, Have you acquiesced yet that you are the indeed the third person?" "Which news agency do you work for? What''s your name? You''ll be waiting for mywyer''s letters if you continue ndering and exposing my privacy like this!" J looked at the reporter with a dead- cold stare in her eyes. "Miss Shao, we are just interviewing you. Is this really the attitude that you should be having?" The reporter was also dissatisfied with J''s attitude. J then started getting angry. "My attitude? Do you think I''m a public figure? I''m just an ordinary girl. Why do you have to round me up like this and interrogate me about my personal life every time you see me?" "Miss Shao, you''ve be a public figure the moment you received the award on the stage. I''m afraid it''s not appropriate to say that you aren''t." The reporter, who was from an unknown agency, began to quarrel with J. "Alright! Then in this case, I quit. If you still have any more questions, please go and ask Daniel. Just ask him if I''m the third person. I''ll sue you in court if he says no." J started freaking out, and she didn''t mind quarreling with the reporter anymore, nor being recorded by all the others. "I know that both your father and brother arewyers. Why should we ask Mr. Si? Perhaps it''s just one of your one-sided loves." The reporter looked at her with disdain. He had to report everything this arrogant woman had to say. J was hurt by the words "one-sided loves." She couldn''t let all the others insult her like mercilessly like that. She handed the award to a reporter next to her, and said, "Please hold this for me. Thank you." After the reporter held her award in his arms, he watched her open up a bottle of mineral water and pouring it over the reporter''s head. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The whole hall was silenced for several moments, and the reporter looked more than embarrassed. He handed his camera to another one of his colleagues and then stretched his fist towards J. Chapter 127 Leave the Business Here Unattended Chapter 127 Leave the Business Here Unattended J smartly dodged his fist. She then lifted her arms and was just about to fight him, but the female reporter, who had interviewed her first, suddenly dragged her back, and advised her in a low voice, "Don''t fight back! Just keep dodging his attacks..." Another fist then came flying to her. J was by now really angry, but all she could do was to spit foul words to him in her mind. She didn''t understand why thatdy reporter had asked her not to fight back; she really wanted to give the man a heavy punch in the face! After J had dodged his third attack, the reporter was still furious at her. Then, when J almost lost her temper and was about to fight back, some of the bodyguards arrived at the scene and stopped the man from trying to hit her. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. The scene was also on live broadcast and was aired by all the media present there. It was also posted on the Inte, bearing different titles. From the beginning of the charity award ceremony and up to this moment, anything regarding J Shao was posted on Inte. She was instantly the hottest topic at the moment, and J''s poprity was continuously going up by the minute. All of the news article headlines were written to stir things up. "The SL group''s CEO''s sworn sister was revealed to be his mistress." "J Shao, the Golden-Levelwyer Samuel Shao''s daughter, poured water over a reporter at the charity award ceremony." "Jerry Shao, the Silver-Levelwyer''s younger sister was attacked by a reporter." "At the charity award ceremony, J Shao became irritated when she was discovered as being a mistress, and poured water on a reporter! She said she would sue him!" ... All of a sudden, every user who enjoyed hunting celebrity gossip now knew about J Shao''s name. Both positive and negativements came again. But most of thements were positive and about two thirds of the people thatmented supported her because of her charity award cup she had held in her hands and because she was the one being attacked by the reporter in the first ce. Some users even found out that J had learned kickboxing for several years, but she still didn''t fight back against the reporter, and everyone felt pity for her. At the American SL Group''s meeting room Daniel looked at the senior managers with a cold face, and said, "If there''s not a workable and good propaganda copy writing to handle the affair today, your whole creative design department should be fired!" All the senior managers sitting opposite to him were so scared that no one dared to let out a single sound. At that moment, Spark slightly pushed open the meeting room''s door and whispered something into Daniel''s ear. Daniel frowned his eyebrows, furiously stood up from his chair, and said, "Lait, I''ll give you two days, and if you''re not able to work it out, you and your whole design department team are all fired. The meeting is over!" Upon finishing his words, Daniel also disappeared from the meeting room, leaving the senior managers looking at each other with bewildered looks on their faces. Spark followed Daniel to the CEO''s office; Nicole was handing over her work to one of the managers. Daniel then sat on the sofa beside them, and said to Spark, "Tell me all the details!" Then he took out his phone to browse the news on Weibo. "It''s evening now in C country; the charity award ceremony was just over a couple of hours ago. Quite a lot of negative news was written by the reporters, " said Spark. He continued, "Miss Shao is reported as being your mistress, and she even poured a bottle of water on a reporter..." Daniel then suddenly cut in his report, and ordered, "Withdraw all the SL Group''s investments out of the Changsheng Group!" He continued with his instructions. "Now, contact the PR manager in C Country. Ask him to delete all the hot topics and Weibo posts that contain the name J Shao! As soon as possible! And send someone to investigate some background information on that reporter. Root him out!" Daniel''s orders hit Spark, and then he hastily took out his phone to carry them out. "Of course, Mr. Si. Do you have any other instructions?" ''Did anything bad happen to Jane?'' wondered Nicole. She put down her pen and also took out her phone to scroll the news on Weibo. Daniel eased up on his frowning and quickly scrolled the news on his phone. He then ordered Spark again, "And book me the earliest flight back to C Country; I need to go back." "But Mr. Si, the DC case in America hasn''t settled yet..." said Spark. There was a veryrge amount of investment involved in this case, and it wasn''t really wise for Daniel to be going back home at this moment. "Put it off, and if Mr. Senda doesn''t agree to that, then it doesn''t matter much, " said Daniel. After the call, Daniel stood up from the sofa and walked up to Nicole. Nicole was still browsing the Weibo news on her phone. She raised her head, and looked at her brother, who was much taller than she was. "What''s going on?" she asked. "How is it going with your work being transferred?" asked Daniel. Nicole took a nce at the manager next to her, who was underlining the important points on paper. "Almost done, " she said. "I''m taking you back home with me, now. I''ll worry about you if I leave you here all alone, " said Daniel. Nicole was pregnant, and actually he had to worry about two people. She slightly shook her head, and said, "No, Sven... He knows that I''ming back the day after tomorrow." Nicole sighed in her mind, and thought that she still couldn''t avoid meeting with the man even if she wanted to. "Well then, I have to go first. You take good care of yourself!" said Daniel. Finishing his words, Daniel turned around and started to leave. He even strode, as if he had missed and worried about something or someone for so long. "Daniel!" shouted Nicole. She stopped him. Daniel turned around and looked at her. "Are you just going to leave the business here unattended?" asked Nicole. She looked at her brother with an unbelievable look in her eyes. There were a couple of projects in Daniel''s hands, and she couldn''t believe that he would just go away and abandon them. ''When did my brother begin to do things so impulsively?'' thought Nicole. Daniel then thought better for a while, and said, "I''lle back very soon, before you''ll leave." "Goodbye!" said Nicole, as she waved her farewell to him. The office door was now closed, and Nicole continued with her business. In C Country After the scene that happened at the charity event, J wondered where she should go. ''To the Waterside Apartment? To the old house? Or to the Royal Mansion Neighborhood?'' she wondered. In the end, J decided to go back to the Royal Mansion Neighborhood because her father, mother and her little brother were all there. There at least she could feel her family''s warmth, and escape her loneliness for a while. When J came back to the mansion, Samuel was busy answering his phone. "Yes, J Shao is my daughter, but how could it be possible that my daughter would be someone''s mistress... These news reports are hardly credible. They''ve just exaggerated a misunderstanding to its most..." "Dad, I''m back!" greeted J. She took a deep breath and stood at his side with a guilty look drawn all over her face. ''Dad, don''t trust me, I''m indeed... actually... a mistress...'' thought J, feeling more and more distressed by the minute. When Samuel saw his daughter, he quickly answered back a few more words and then immediately ended the call. "J!" yelled Samuel. His voice was stern, and he looked at her with rage and discontent burning in his eyes. "Dad..." J spoke with quite a guilty tone in her voice. Samuel then walked up to his daughter, and when he red at her, he demanded, "Take out your phone, and call Daniel! Now!" ''Call Daniel?'' thought J. She refused. "No!" ''Why must I be the first one to call him? He hasn''t contacted me for nearly two months!'' she thought. Sniffing, J made up her mind that she wouldn''t call him. "You... You... You''re really infuriating me to death! Don''t you know what people are talking about you now?" spoke Samuel. He continued, "Daniel Si, that brat! Why hasn''t he taken his responsibility for you yet?" Samuel was so upset by his daughter that he really wanted to knock her head open with his fists. "Because he doesn''t love me. Don''t you understand such a simple reason like this?" said J. She didn''t show the slightest care when she answered her father. Her words dumbfounded and infuriated Samuel even more, and he felt nearly suffocated by his anger. Then, after a while, he asked her with an unbelievable look in his eyes, "You two were already in a rtionship, and had done everything to each other; but now you''re telling me that he doesn''t love you?" "No, he never loved me! What else should I say? Your daughter hooked up with a bad man, and she''s given up on him. Please, give up on him too!" replied J. Unlike Samuel, who was filled with rage, J kept a calm and peaceful look, and she spoke like she was telling someone else''s story. Chapter 128 Open the Door Chapter 128 Open the Door Actually, she did not really know how much pain he had really caused... She did not know, indeed. She didn''t even dare to question what she was feeling this moment. "Give up? No way, I''ll call him!" said Samuel. Daniel had dared to tease his daughter in such a horrendous way. He would beat him to death! J couldn''t persuade Samuel, and he called Daniel. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable..." Both father and daughter were now looking at each other. When such an event happened, Daniel''s cellphone was always powered off, which clearly showed his attitude... J loosened her grip on Samuel''s arm, and said, "I told you not to call him. Why did you have to call him? Now he''s gone!" She then furiously climbed upstairs to her room. Samuel remained speechless, and while staying downstairs, he looked at his cellphone. Daniel''s phone was powered off. Had he just gone away like that? Samuel did not give up and called Harry instead. "Harry, where is your son?" he said, "Tell him to answer his phone, I need to talk to him!" Harry had also just found out what happened through Weibo, but the message was gone when he wanted to look at it again. "I can''t get in touch with him, but all the info about Jane on Weibo has been deleted." In the balcony, L tried calling her son, but to no avail. "Why delete all of the information? Doesn''t this prove that Jane is indeed your son''s mistress, the one who broke the rtionship he had with Kate? When your sones back home, ask him to contact me. He''s ran away after teasing and fooling around with my daughter. How irresponsible can he be! Let me teach him a lesson!" When he was angry, Samuel didn''t care anymore about the strong ties of brotherhood, and instead spoke his rough mind. His son had done some wrong things, and Harry couldn''t refute Samuel''s usations. He just said, "Samuel, please calm down. As soon as I get in tough with Daniel, I will ask him to contact you." After hearing Harry''s assurance, Samuel then gradually calmed down, and said, "Don''t pity him when I''ll teach him his lesson." Daniel had dared to tease his daughter. No matter who he was, he will let him bear the bitter fruit for his actions. Harry nodded, and said, "If that''s his fault indeed, you can teach him any lesson that you please." He could empathize with Samuel. When Sven had teased Nicole, he had the same feeling - to beat Sven very hard... They then talked about some other things before they hung up the phone. Upstairs, J was smashing up things to let off steam. She calling Daniel again, but his phone was still powered off... "Ahhhhh!" J hit the ceiling! She never thought that Daniel would be such a coward that he would leave when she needed him the most. She didn''t even dared to check her Weibo... Boohoo, but she still wanted to have a look at it to see how people were abusing her. She then carefully opened the Weibo app. What? ''Where is my name?'' It was the top search on Weibo just earlier. How could it be gone now? All the Weibo posts about her were now gone... Samuel knocked at the door, and said, "Jane, open the door." He needed to talk with his daughter. If Daniel refused to marry his daughter, what was there to be done. "No. Go to bed, Samuel!" J shouted furiously at her father. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Open the door! Now!" ''What a silly girl she is, '' thought Samuel. "Samuel, don''t bother me any longer, or I will run away!" She was very upset. She didn''t want to hear Daniel''s name ever again! E was lulling her son to sleep and had overheard their quarrel. Covered with a coat, she walked out of the children''s room and pulled Samuel away, who was knocking frantically at the door. She said, "What are you doing? I told you to calm down. Why are you losing your temper again?" She wondered whether Jane''s short temper had been inherited from Samuel or from her. Now she definitely knew it. It was definitely inherited from Samuel''s side. "Do you know that Daniel''s cellphone is powered off? Nobody can get in touch with him, and I heard from Harry that his assistant''s cellphone is also powered off." Samuel stood akimbo while he talked to his wife. "Powered off? Did you think that he might be on a ne?" E tried to calm down her hot-tempered husband. Everything was uncertain until they would meet with Daniel to sort things out. Samuel responded with a sneer. "How could that be even possible? More than one hour has passed, and he didn''t even call us." Women were always simple-minded. If he truly loved Jane, he would have married her already. What was he waiting for? It seemed that Daniel did not love Jane at all! "The priority is to reduce the impact of this terrible event. We can''t let matters drift away at random." E then walked back to their bedroom, arm-in-arm with her husband. "Don''t worry. Those Weibo posts are all gone." Samuel had already heard about this. E was surprised, and mumbled, "Maybe it was Daniel who did this." Samuel responded with a sneer again, but anyhow, he did not believe Daniel anymore! He would tell Jane to stay as far away from Daniel as possible, and to stop contacting him! J, who was locked in the next room, soon left homete at night and secretly went to the Waterside Apartment Complex. She then went to sleep with Daniel''s scent, holding his pillow tight with both of her arms. Early next morning J got a phone call from Jerry. "Come and see me, I will help you to sue that bastard journalist." Jerry had already found out where that journalist lived and worked, and they could now sue him for nder. "Jerry, just forget about it. You know the truth. I am the one who broke their rtionship!" J was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. Jerry sighed, and said, "Jane, that''s not your fault. I can tell that Daniel doesn''t love Kate at all; he never did, actually." He wanted to talk all about this with his sisterst time they met, but didn''t get the chance. "Jerry, you don''t need to pity me. I understand now. If he doesn''t love Kate, why does he still say that she is his girlfriend?" Although she wasn''t that clever, she wasn''t that stupid either. "Jane, don''t worry, just talk to Daniel and ask him to break up with Kate as soon as possible. He will agree, you''ll see." "Jerry, don''t speak for him. I know..." She yawned and tried to open her eyes, and while looking at the other side of the bed she realized that she wasn''t used to seeing it empty anymore. Jerry asked her again and again whether she wanted to sue thatwyer, but J refused him every time. Because of the charity award, J''s store was now even more popr. Early in the morning, there were lots of people queuing in line, even though the store wasn''t opened yet. Some of them indeed wanted to buy desserts, while some others were attracted only by J''s fame. Acting low-key, J came in through the back door. Shirley was checking the store''s sanitary conditions, and looking at her, she said, "Why did youe in through the back door?" "I heard that lots of people were talking about me when I came close to the store, and I was afraid that they were all Daniel''s fans. They would''ve killed me." This was not the life she wanted. Her ideal life was one in which she could make desserts whenever she was happy. Chapter 129 Youd Better Go Out Through the Back Door Chapter 129 You''d Better Go Out Through the Back Door J just wanted to walk around freely when she was in a bad mood; she didn''t want to be recognized by people everywhere she went. When she heard Daniel''s name, Shirley, with a gleam shining in her eyes, asked J, "Are Daniel and you... really..." It was quite clear what she had meant. J was a bit depressed, and replied, "No. I have nothing to do with him." She thought that at most, he was just a friend who had slept with her! This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. When she heard her, Shirley seemed to feel more relieved. "Oh, I see. Well, you need to get down to work now, and I also have to check the sanitation first." J waved at her and entered the back room. The whole morning, J kept making Tiramisu, one after another, and she was silent, and looked very morose. Of course, not one of the salesclerks dared to ask her what had happened to her. Shirley wanted to ask her, but when she saw that J was so concentrated on her work, she finally gave up on the idea. She had to tell the salesclerks to rmend the Tiramisu to their customers. At noon Shirley said to J who kept making Tiramisu this morning: "It''s time for lunch now. Would you like to have lunch with me?" "I''ll have lunchter, you can go first!" replied J. She didn''t even look up when she spoke with her and just went on working. It was obvious that J was very sad; she didn''t even talk as much as she used to in the morning. Shirley wanted to cheer her up, but she had no idea how. "Would you like me to bring you a cup of milky tea?" asked Shirley. The Grand m was J''s favourite milky tea. "Yes, that would be nice. Thanks!" said J. Yes! This time, J didn''t refuse her. Shirley slightly smiled at her, and said, "Please wait a sec." When she got out of the shop, she saw that a red Cayenne was parked at the curb nearby. Since it was a luxury car, Shirley kept looking at it for the moment. A man got out of the driver''s seat and quickly walked up to Shirley, and said, "Hello, Miss Zheng. Is Miss Shao in the shop?" After looking at the man in front of her, Shirley began to nce at the Cayenne''s backseat windows, but she couldn''t see anything through. "Miss Zheng?" said Spark. He was confused, and looked at Shirley who was lost in thought. Shirley, who had heard Spark call her name, now realised that someone was talking to her, and nodded. "Yes. She''s in the shop, " she replied. "Would you please help me and ask her toe here?" asked Spark. On his way there, Daniel had called J for several times, but had found that her phone was powered off. He didn''t know where she was, so he had to go in front of her shop and look for her. And indeed, she was there. After she learned that the man was looking for J, Shirley felt a little frustrated, and replied, "OK. Just a moment, please." She came back to the shop and entered the back room. "J, someone is waiting for you outside, " she said. ''J told me earlier that Daniel had nothing to do with her. But he was looking for her outside just now... Why did J lie to me?'' thought Shirley. "Who?" asked J. She looked back at Shirley. "He seemed to be... Mr. Si''s special assistant, " replied Shirley. When she heard Shirley, J, who was busy making Tiramisu shapes, suddenly stopped working. Then, she just sat there, motionless. After a while, J said to Shirley, "Tell him that I''m not here." "But... I''ve already told him that you''re here, " replied Shirley. "... Well, tell him that I''m busy right now and that I''m not avable to see him!" said J. J felt a bit sad, and went on making her desserts with her head down. After she looked at J''s back and kept silent for a while, Shirley turned around and walked out of the back room. Spark was still waiting outside of the shop, and the Cayenne had already attracted a lot of attention. When Shirley told Spark what J had said, Spark, whose smile then slightly froze on his face, said, "OK. Thank you, Miss Zheng." He then got back inside the car. Later, it was quiet again. J, while looking at the clock in the back room, remained motionless. After 40 minutes or so, she gave up on all her hope. An hourter, Shirley, after she finished her lunch, returned to the shop with the Grand m milky tea in her hand. When she saw that the Cayenne was parked in front the shop, she slowed down. After she went back inside the shop, she realised that the people in the Cayenne hadn''t taken any action yet. J took a big sip of the Grand m and almost immediately felt better. "Thank you, my dear Shirley, " she said. J began to be in a much more better mood, and had also developed an appetite for lunch now. After touching her abdomen and hearing the gurgling sounds "Don''t mention it. I know that it''s your favourite, and it was my pleasure to get it for you!" said Shirley. She smiled and then looked at J, who was seldom gloomy at school. The milky tea was her antidepressant. In school, whenever J was morose, she would always run to the alley outside the school yard and buy arge cup of Grand m. After drinking just half a cup of the milky tea, she would feel happy again. And the same happened now, in the shop. "Um, what did you eat just earlier? I''m also hungry and want to find some food for lunch, " said J. She put her tools and gloves aside and began to walk towards the front room. "J!" Shirley immediately called her to stop. "Um?" uttered J, confused. "Well... There are still a lot of people outside the shop... You''d better go out through the back door!" said Shirley, while peeping inside with her head poking forward. She then fixed her eyes on the ss door behind J and saw the Cayenne''s reflection in it. When she heard Shirley, J turned around right away and walked towards the back door. "Thank you, my dear Shirley, you always take such good care of me. I should leave now. Wait for me in the evening, let''s have dinner together, " she said. When she knew that J trusted her so much, Shirley felt a little guilty. She wondered whether she did the right thing or not. "But... You can also try and go out through the front door. Perhaps they won''t see you!" she said. "No, thanks. I want to go out through the back door. It''s the same thing!" J said. And while uttering these words, she went out through the back door with her bag in one hand, and the Grand m in another. When she looked at J''s back slowly walking away from her, Shirley remained stunned for a quite while and then got back to work. J walked up and down the street behind her shop, but couldn''t find anything to eat. She had to leave that street and check the other street in front of her shop to get something else to eat. When he was feeling sleepy, Spark suddenly saw a girl, who was wearing a casual white dress beneath a denim jacket and a pair of white canvas, appear in the near distance. "Mr. Si, is that Miss Shao?" Spark immediately asked Daniel, who was busy working on the backseat of the Cayenne. A moment after, he coldly ordered, "Catch up with her!" J was still holding on to her milky tea and kept drinking it slowly. She saw a row of restaurants on the roadside, but didn''t want to eat lunch in any of them. ''Well, what should I eat now?'' she pondered. Suddenly, a car stopped on the roadside with a screech. When she heard the brake''s sound, J, with a well-conditioned response, looked towards the roadside. The Cayenne''s back door was then opened, and a tall man got out of the car, which made J''s heart race wild at that moment. After her rapid heartbeat, J felt very sad. She pretended not to see him, picked up her pace and went straight forward. Daniel put the pair of sunsses that he held in his hand on his eyes and followed her. When she was just about to cross the street, the traffic light turned red. "Get in the car, " said Daniel. He gripped J''s elbow with hisrge palm. J had her left hand tucked deep into one of the dress''s pockets while she was carrying the milky tea with her right. "Let go of me!" shouted J. She reacted violently, disengaging herself from his grip and also ferociously staring at him with a look in her eyes that could''ve melted stones. ''Does he think that he''s more charismatic when he''s wearing sunsses? He just wants to look handsome and cool!'' thought J furiously. Daniel''s hand left J''s elbow, and he finally put it into one of his wind coat pockets. Because they were so good-looking, J and Daniel attracted more and more attentioning from the pedestrians. "Stop, I want to talk to you, " uttered Daniel in his specific, cold tone of voice. Chapter 130 I Havent Handled It Properly Chapter 130 I Haven''t Handled It Properly When the traffic light turned green, J crossed the street without looking back. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Daniel bit his lower lip and followed her. On the other side of the road there was a small garden, and Daniel brought J inside it. "What do you want?" asked J. There was no one on the trail in the garden except the two, and J managed to eventually get rid of his control. "Why are you so angry? Before I left for America, didn''t I ask if you would like to go with me there?" Daniel really couldn''t figure out what could''ve made J be so angry. If it''s really the case, then he''s the one who should''ve been angry. She stared at the man taking off his sunsses, and said, "I just didn''t want to go to America. What would I have done there? Be your mistress?" The way she puffed her cheeks and stared at him was so cute that Daniel could not help butugh. He said, "Don''t get me wrong, Jane, but you never told me what you were thinking before. If you really care about Kate, I''ll break up with her right away. She only existed to protect you." "Break up with her? Kate took a bullet for you, and saved you. You two also showcase your love to journalists every day. Are these also fake? You can''t break up with her for me, a mistress!" J never thought that Daniel could be such a jerk. He did whatever he wanted, And never cared about what the girl thought. She remembered that at first, it was Daniel who asked Kate to be his girlfriend. Daniel was speechless, but still clutched his forehead with his hands, and said, "Jane, it''s not what you think. Before I was even with her, I told her that she was only a cover in this rtionship. Even when I told her that I was just using her, she still agreed." He had told her about that clearly, but Kate still kept throwing herself at him, hoping that things would change. Then he wasn''t the one to me! However, J sneered, and said, "Daniel, you are such a scum!" ''A cover? Just used her? How could Daniel tell such a lie?'' thought J. ''He told me that he only wanted to protect me, but look at him now, punishing me to the mistress corner. Is this the protection he had been talking about?'' "Liar! Daniel you are a rotten liar!" J blocked whatever Daniel was about to say to her. The man affectionately looked at her for half a minute, then stepped forward, lifted her chin and kissed her. She tasted like sweet milk tea, which made Daniel frown. J struggled to not let him do that, but the more she struggled, the tighter her chin was glued to his. It was painful, and she didn''t dare to move a muscle more! The man''s long arms surrounded her thin waist while he carefully tasted the lips he had missed for the Suddenly, voices were hearding from the end of the path they were on, but J still couldn''t get rid of his overpowering control. She started worrying, and so she bit his lips. The taste of blood spread in their mouths, but Daniel still didn''t let her go. J could hear the voice of the people walking by them: "Today''s young people are so cheeky! They do these lovey-dovey tricks outside in broad daylight. Gee!" "Just walk! It''s not your business. They''re just a young couple in love." ... The old man''s voice left J speechless. Their breathing was getting more and more heavy. Just seconds before she was about to suffocate, the man finally let her go. J hung weakly onto him, and Daniel didn''t mind holding her like that. After her breathing gradually stabilised, J stepped back a couple of paces and her eyes suddenly became vicious. She lifted her right hand and pped his face hard. This time Daniel was not prepared and couldn''t help being pped by her. Time seemed to stay still, and the air around them seemed to be condensing. J rubbed her painful palm on her clothes, and didn''t dare to lift her face and see Daniel. Finally, she lifted her foot and started to leave. However, the man did not give her the opportunity to escape. Instead, he forced her into the backseat of the Cayenne that was parked on the side of the road. The Cayenne drove away and J was brought to the Waterside Apartment. Along the way, the man''s face was so gloomy that she was really sorry for her erratic and impulsive behaviour. She refused to get out of the car. Daniel dragged her out of the car to the apartment and then threw her on the big bed in the bedroom. "Daniel, if you darey a finger on me today, I''ll fight you to the death!" J got up from bed, fixed her long hair, and warned the man with full viciousness in her voice. Daniel just sneered, and thought that she had always been really naive. She didn''t know that the more wilder was a woman, the more a man wanted to conquer her. "First when you hit me, I didn''t intend to touch you. But now, hearing you say that, I will definitelyy my hands on you!" He began to untie his belt, and the sound of the belt buckle being opened made J''s heart beat faster. J hastily climbed from the bed to the other side of the room and was ready to escape. But the man just walked towards the bedroom''s door in a couple of swift strides and blocked her way. "Jane..." He changed his attitude and n of attack, and held J in his arms and whispered to her in her ear. J was stunned, and wondered, ''What does he mean...'' "Sorry, I haven''t handled the situation properly and that I''ve let you suffer." He would take care of Kate and the reporter. J wouldn''t have been interviewed if Kate hadn''t said what she said. However, J felt wronged that she had encountered this scum. "I''ll break up with Kate when this is over." It wasn''t the best time to break up with her, since Jane was involved. He could ignore the others'' thoughts, but he couldn''t ignore J''s. If he broke up with Kate now, there would be a lot of people who would think that Jane had really been his mistress, and that they broke up because of her. That was not appropriate. ''When will this be over?'' J''s thoughts were totally different from that of Daniel''s. She thought that Daniel was a scum. He had just said that because he wanted to be with her and Kate at the same time. "I''m very ttered that Mr. Si likes me! Very, very ttered! But I don''t want to be in your games anymore! Bye!" "Jane, don''t be so stubborn. I really mean what I say." "I also mean it. I''m not joking with you, can''t you see? Not only that, I won''t live ore in here in the future. Let''s live our lives on our separate ways!" J''s heart was filled with pain when she said that, and her eyes had also be red. He was furious at her, and shouted, "J, I''ve been speaking to you for all this time, but you haven''t heard a thing!" "Yeah! Yeah... Wuwuwu! Let go of me..." The woman was again thrown onto the bed, the man pressed her under him tightly. "J, don''t be such a fool! If you really want to, I''ll make you my mistress!" "Daniel, you''re a monster! Let go of me! Let go of me, now!" "Let you go? I chose you, and I''ll never let you go!" ... If Daniel''s tone hadn''t sounded that cold, J would''ve really thought that he was actually saying something sweet to her. Chapter 131 I Will Never Yield to a Bastard Chapter 131 I Will Never Yield to a Bastard "Get off of me or I will never forgive you!" She said this in a pretty serious and grave tone. Daniel then threw his jacket away, and said, "Will you forgive me if I''ll let you go?" "... No!" She was now whispering. He gently touched her face with his fingers. "Your skin is a lot finer than before." ... "It''s just two month. Maybe it would''ve felt as smooth as a baby''s if you had touched me after two years." Her words made the both of them think about only one question. They had not seen each other for just two months? It had felt more like two years... "You''ve been thinking too much. J, you are mine for this and the next life..." Daniel showed a wicked, but fascinating, smile. And J smiled back, too. She draped her hands around Daniel, and said, "Mr. Si, it is you who has thought too much. I will never yield to a bastard like you, ever. I will marry another man in the future, I promise." Daniel felt irritated by her words. She was the only one to me for his anger, and she had to pay the price. "You want to marry another man? Huh, in your dreams!" He kissed her hard on her lips and gripped her hands over her head. J kicked him on his legs, but he only snorted a little and pressed her even tighter. "Be quiet!" "For what?" "Because you''re my woman!" "Don''t bet on it." Her attitude made him even more desperate. He bit her ears gently, and said, "Do you know how the story ends if you still stick to resisting?" "I don''t care ... Let me go! Damn you..." "Beg me first." ... "No way! Go to the hell!" "I will help you find the way." Daniel said that in a flirty, dirty tone. He was all hands on her body as he was speaking to her. J was so annoyed by him that she threw him off of her. But her efforts were in vain, and he pressed on her again before she even had the chance to get up. "Do you really want to resist me? Are you taking a deaf ear to my warnings? Huh? My dear!" As he said this, Daniel took off her coat and threw it to the ground. The more disobedient she was, the more he wanted to ovee her and dominate her. He must make her be obedient! "Prrrt!" Her dress was torn. J uttered a distressed cry. The view in the room was beautiful. An hourter, Daniel got up and looked at the embarrassed woman on the bed. "This is the end! J, you will get a name when you are obedient to me." After he finished speaking, Daniel went inside the bathroom. J was still grinding her teeth on the bed. Daniel! That damn bastard! He had dared to insult her like this. She must get back at him somehow! After he took a shower, Daniel found his clothes in the corner of the wardrobe. He found that all his clothes had been bundled up into a case. At that very moment, J rushed to the wardrobe and carried the case outside of it. "Daniel, get out of here!" she said, "This is my house from now on." She wouldn''t let him treat her like that without paying a price for his actions. She wanted the house. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Daniel simply ignored the crazy woman and dialed a number on his mobile phone. "Buy me a suit in the Waterside Apartment Complex." His case had long been packed, and it seemed that she had thought of driving him out of the house for a long time now. J was still disobedient. "From now on, you just stay here and don''t go anywhere." She looked at him, and said, "Who do you think you are?" The man with a towel wrapped around his waist then stepped forward to her, and said, "Who do you think I am? Do I really need to tell you the answer again?" "No, Mr. Si." J also went to the bathroom, wiped her angry face, and returned to the bedroom with a smile on her face. She soon got sleepy. An idea popped in her mind when she was lying on the bed. Daniel knew that she wouldn''t stay there like he ordered her to. He also didn''t want to make her unhappy for forcing her to do something that she didn''t want to do. What J did next made him very unhappy. Daniel went back to thepany while J was sleeping. J had called her mother immediately after waking up. "Mom, find me a date, right now." ... "Are you crazy?" E''s question lowered J''s spirit to some degree. "Yeah, maybe I am. I''m going to have a blind date, right now." J had forgotten all about the pain that Daniel had inflicted on her, and she got out of bed so fast that she actually fell to the ground. "Hiss..." She felt a sharp pain and grimaced. If it weren''t for the carpet, she might have gotten injured on her knees. "What about Daniel if you date someone else?" "Mom, please don''t mention that jerk again. I will punch him every time I see him... We don''t know each other, and that''s how it''ll gonna stay." Didn''t he say that she was his woman? Then she would get him cuckolded. She tried every possible way and finally persuaded E to finally introduce someone to her. J had her hair styled and her make-up applied in her uncle''s shop. She thought of something and sent her mother a message. "Tell L I''m having a blind date right now." It was meaningless if Daniel didn''t know about it. E read her message silently. Should she let her run wild like this? In the Garfield Restaurant, at night A red Mercedes stopped in front of the restaurant, out of which a woman got out, immediately attracting everyone''s attention. Her ret long hair was wavy and was casually scattered on her shoulders. Her clothes and hat were both dark green. She wore heavy make-up, something which she had never done before - more exactly thick eyebrows and mascara, A blue eye shadow and bright red lips. She was dressed in a dark green double-faced coat and ck long boots, holding in her hand a limited edition ck bag that Daniel had brought for her a while back. She looked very fashionable and mature. A mature man had been waiting for her at table No. 8 inside the Garfield Restaurant. J walked to him gracefully. In the president''s office of the SL Group Daniel''s mobile phone rang over and over again and he finally answered it from the pile of documents it was in. "Daniel! Son! Go to the Garfield Restaurant right now!" L''s flurried voice was hearding out of the phone. Daniel put down the pen and rubbed his brows. "Mom, why are you so disturbed?" "I have my strong reasons! Jane is having a blind date right now. Don''t you feel disturbed by that? I order you to take her back, now!" L was the first to scold him if he ever avoided his responsibility for Jane. Chapter 132 This is Janet Shao, My Girlfriend Chapter 132 This is J Shao, My Girlfriend ''That woman should have known better than to go to a blind date with another man!'' thought Daniel. His eyes were now burning with an unimaginable rage. ''I knew that she won''t stay still in the apartment, but I never expected that she would act so wild and go to a blind date! If I don''t do something to punish her, she''s still not going to be well aware of who her man is!'' thought Daniel. "OK! I know it, that''s it!" said Daniel over the phone. He hung up the phone, and after a moment''s meditation, he asked Spark to help him. He then grabbed his coat from the hanger, and said to Spark, "Go and find a pretty young model and send her to the Garfield Restaurant in twenty minutes." Spark was puzzled, and said, "Yes, Mr. Si, of course." In the Garfield Restaurant At table No. 8, a man dressed in a white shirt was quietly sitting there, texting on his phone; it seemed that he was quite busy. A greeting was suddenly heard. "Hello! Are you Mr. Xiao?" It was J, and she courteously stood This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. aside, grinning a smile. When the man moved his eyes from his phone up to the girl''s face, he was instantly shocked. "Hello, are you Mr. Xiao, Ferris Xiao?" J asked once again, with patience. Ferris Xiao immediately put down his phone and stood up from his chair. Stretching out his right hand, he said, "Hello! Yes, I''m Ferris Xiao. Are you... J Shao?" "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you!" said J. She sincerely greeted Ferris and shook his hand. Then, when their hands parted, Ferris Xiao pulled her chair for her in a gentlemanlike way, and said, "Miss Shao, please sit down." "Thank you!" said J politely. Ferris Xiao waved to the waiter, and he put a menu in front of J. "I don''t know what dishes you like, as this is our first meeting. Please order anything you like, " he said. Then J took the menu, and ordered herself a set of familiar dishes. Ferris also decided on what he would eat, and then the waiter took their orders and went away. "Miss Shao, please excuse me if I speak too honestly. You''re such a pretty and young girl, with a wealthy and famous background, and I bet that there must be arge group of men chasing after you. So, why did youe to a date arranged by your own parents?" asked Ferris. Actually, when he found out that he was about to date Samuel Shao''s daughter, he could hardly believe his ears. He wondered why Samuel''s daughter would need to have a blind date with another man. He initially thought that maybe his daughter was an ugly girl, or had some defects. But then he recalled J''s photos that he had seen on Weibo, in which she was incredibly beautiful. Now the real portrait was unveiled in front of him, and she was even more beautiful than he had seen her in any photo or video. But, he was also reminded by the person who had arranged the date for him that J Shao was just a childish girl and was acting rashly; he was told that she had kept badgering her parents to arrange for this date all of a sudden, and so he just came to give it a try, but tried not to be too serious about it. After J finished ordering her meal, she just kept her silence and didn''t seem to want to talk about anything, which made Ferris understand the current situation now. "Uh, in fact, only a few men are chasing me, as I''m not always trying to speak with other people, and I have only a few friends, " said J. J felt embarrassed, and didn''t know how to exin herself for her impulsive actions. Ferris smiled and took out his business card, and handed it to J. "Miss Shao, here''s my card. It was my pleasure to meet with you." J took the business card, on which it was written, "Ferris Xiao, CEO of the Fengcheng Group." "You''re great, you''ve already been named a CEO at such a young age, " said J. She delivered her sincerepliments to him. J really admired this kind of people, who were capable of bing the CEO of a Group at such a young age, just like Daniel. "Thank you, Miss Shao! I''m actually not that young. I''m 29 years old, and soon I will be in my early thirties. That''s why I showed up for this date. I n on settling on my marriage, " said Ferris. Ferris spoke out his intentions to J straight away; he thought that J''s appearance had really met his standards for a wife. "Uh... But I''m just 23 years old, and we have a gap of six years..." replied J. J took a sip out of her ss of juice, trying to hide her embarrassment. Ferris felt that the age factor was not that of a big deal, so he said, "Age is not a problem. Have you heard the news that Sven Si, the sessor for Chuck''s Hospital, has been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Si family?" ''Of course I know all about it!'' thought J. J nodded her head. "The woman is about six years older than he is! So if they can be together, why can''t we?" asked Ferris. He continued, "Miss Shao, you are still young. You need someone that''s right for you, someone that can take care of you." Ferris didn''t try to hide his content with J. J smoothed her hair near her ear, feeling even more guilty and embarrassed. She didn''t dare to look at Ferris, and she stammered, "Your words are... right, but..." "You''re not having the sincerity for this date." Ferris cut in her words in an affirmative tone. J felt pretty embarrassed, and wondered whether she had shown it too obviously. He had already known that she was not serious with the date. "We can be friends at first, " said J. She took a quick look at him, and then instantly moved her eyes away. "Fine! I''m okay with that." Then Ferris took out his phone to add J''s Wechat ount, and also her phone number. The waiter soon came and ced their dishes on the table. J had ordered a dish of beefsteak, well done. She thought that it would be a good match to have some red wine go along with the beefsteak, so she called the waiter again. "What''s wrong?" asked Ferris. He looked at her curiously. "Well, I want a bottle of red wine!" Answered J, casually. But a meaningful light shed through Ferris''s eyes, and he spoke in a low voice, "I''ve tasted the red wine in this restaurant, and it isn''t that good. If you like red wine, I have some, and I can give you two bottlester, if you want." J''s eyes became bigger and nced at him, and she said, "Well, then forget about it." She then apologised to the waiter, and started to slice her beefsteak. The atmosphere between them was kind of strange, but then J actively asked him questions this time, such as, "Mr. Xiao, have you ever had any girlfriend before?" "Yes, twice or three times, but we broke up. What about you?" J didn''t like the man in front of her, so she decided to tell him the truth, and said, "I just came here to..." But before she could even finish her words, a man''s voice cut in on her. "Mr. Xiao, I have the strangest luck to find you here!" This voice was familiar to Ferris; surprised, he turned around, and saw that the man really was Daniel Si! A pretty girl was holding the handsome man''s arm, and they stood right next to their table. The man was emanating a strong aura, which attracted many people''s attention. Ferris hastily put down his cutlery and stood up to make his greeting. "Mr. Si, long time no see! I''m honoured to be meeting you again!" "Yes, are you having your dinner here?" asked Daniel. He threw an undetectable glimpse to the woman, who was now focusing on her food. And the rage in his eyes began to rise up, too. ''You dressed up pretty well for a date, J, you... really have done a good job, again!'' thought Daniel. Ferris was of high-esteem towards Daniel. He took a look at J, who was keeping silent, and then he introduced her straightforward. "Mr. Si, this is J Shao, my girlfriend. I''m dating with her here! J,e, let me introduce you to..." J nearly choked on a slice of beef in her mouth. ''When did I be his girlfriend?'' thought J. The man next to them cast her a sharp nce, which made J feel scared. But his reaction was exactly her purpose of hering there so, thinking of this, J drank a mouthful of her juice, and calmed her breath. Then she slowly wiped her red lips, and while still sitting on her chair and smiling, she said, "Mr. Si, I have heard of your name long before. It''s my great honour to meet you here." ''My honour? Bullshit! You wicked man, you dare toe here together with another woman!'' thought J. "J, are you really enjoying ying these tricks on me?" He stared at her with a cold, stern face, and then spoke out the words that dumbfounded all the other people around them. Chapter 133 Sit Down and Watch Us Show Affection Chapter 133 Sit Down and Watch Us Show Affection Ferris seemed to remember something. What he remembered was a report on Weibo in which he had read that J was Daniel''s sworn sister... Ferris now realized that perhaps he may have gotten himself into trouble. But when he became embarrassed, and was about to exin what was happening to Daniel, J calmly uttered, "Leave if you don''t want to hear me talk. Don''t disturb me any longer, I''m having dinner with my boyfriend now!" Daniel sneered at her words, and thought that it was too soon for her to seek out a new boyfriend. He looked at the man next to him, and said, "Mr. Ferris, I think there is a development opportunity for the project we''ve discussed some time ago; let''s talk more about it when you''re free." Ferris was surprised to hear these words, and looked up at Daniel. "I''m free right now, Mr. Si. We can talk about it right now, " he said. That was a pretty big project, and if the SL Group agreed with it and epted it, it would definitely bring a considerable profit to the Fengcheng Group, but only if the twopanies partnered with each other! "No, but you can go back to yourpany and prepare all the needed documents. You cane to the SL Group tomorrow and ask for my secretary, Miss Ren. Tell her that I asked you to ask for her." Daniel watched Ferris put his phone andptop back into his briefcase, and he was about to leave without eating anything that he had just ordered. "Thanks Mr. Si. I''m going back right now!" he said. He looked at J, who was now stunned, and said, "Miss Shao, I apologise, but I have to leave now. I will invite you for dinner on another day." After uttering these words to J, he shook hands with Daniel and left the restaurant in a hurry. Daniel asked one of the waiters to remove Ferris''s dinner, and then sat down at the table beside J and began to order food with the pretty woman that was apanying him. "Help yourself and order whatever you like to eat, " he said to the model. He sat near J, and he pushed the menu to the opposite side of the table. The model, who sat opposite to him, was extremely ttered, and she took the menu and carefully read what it had to offer. The model pretended that she didn''t see J at the table, because Spark had already asked her to do so in advance. Later, Daniel asked a waiter to bring him the most expensive red wine they had in the restaurant. When she saw what he did, J started feeling a little bit distressed. She had already wanted to drink some red wine, but Ferris didn''t let her order it. When she saw how generous Daniel was to the model, J became very upset and disappointed... She thought that in the future, she would certainly not marry a man like Ferris, who was so miserly and weak! When J, who was now absent-minded, cut the steak on her te and drank her ss of fruit juice, she heard the woman sitting opposite to her say, "Mr. Si, I''ve already decided on what to order. What about you?" "The same as you, " replied Daniel. He sat on the chair and swirled the red wine in the ss, lost in thought. Later, the young model began to coquettishly express her love for him, and began saying, "Mr. Si, I''ve been thinking of you sincest time I met you!" "Oh? Did you?" Daniel calmly asked her. "Of course, Mr. Si. You''re the most handsome and talented man I''ve ever met in my life!" replied the model. She was ying with her blonde long hair and inclined forward. Out of the corner of her eye, J saw that the model was deliberately showcasing her generous cleavage... J then thought of her own cleavage, and realised that the model''s cleavage seemed to be more obvious, and better than hers. She thought that Daniel was interested in more curvaceous women! J began to think of Kate, who looked as charming as the model in front of her, and believed that what she had just concluded was correct! Daniel had heard many suchpliments before, and he just tly asked her, "At the present time, how much do you charge for your appearance?" "At least one million, " replied the model. The young model, who had started her career as a model only half a year ago, must''ve been quite extraordinary if she was worth such a good price. "I can give you ten million, but would you like to keep mepany tonight?" asked Daniel. "Uh..." J began to utter strange sounds. She immediately reached for the ss of water on the table because she choked on her food, again... But she picked the ss of red wine instead, and recklessly gulped the rest of it in seconds. After she drank all of it, and took a breather, J felt much better. "Mr. Si, you''re so nice, and it''s my pleasure if you like me. I''m d to serve you if you''d like to!" spoke the model. She just ignored all the others and smiled, her bright big eyes narrowing at this moment. ''Damn it! How dare they invite each other to a spicy night in front of me like that! How can they ignore me like this?'' thought J, with rage slowly building up in her. "Hey,dy! Aren''t you afraid of getting any venereal diseases from him?" asked J. She put aside her knife and fork and seriously looked at the model who was sitting opposite to her. Well... The young model was now stunned and looked at Daniel a bit confused. ''Does he really have...'' she wondered. Daniel, who looked even more cold and gloomy, nced at J, and asked her, "Did you infect me with any?" When she heard him, J exerted herself to pinch his arm, and shouted, "What are you talking about?" She thought that she couldn''t have developed such a disease on her own, and if she really had any, she must''ve gotten it from Daniel! Oh... "No. I have to go to the hospital for a quick check-up. What if you got the disease?" said J. She seemed to be in a panic, which made Daniel look very depressed and indignant. "Sit down!" spoke Daniel coldly. The model, indeed, now hesitated on his offer, and wondered whether she should ept it or not. She was a youngdy and didn''t want to be infected with any of that... "Why do I have to sit down? I need to go to the hospital!" said J sternly. Daniel gripped her wrist and forced her to sit down again. He then suddenly got close to her, and spoke, "Why did I ask you to sit down? Sit down and watch how we show our affection to each other! J Shao, all other women are far more obedient than you!" When she heard him uttering these words, J''s first instinct was to p him across the face. "God damn you! You can find other women, and I will never stop you doing so!" she shouted. ''If he wants other women, he can do so whenever he likes. But why can''t he let me go? He wants me to watch how they show their affection? No, I don''t have such a hobby!'' thought J. When he heard that J had just swore, Daniel slightly frowned. He wanted to talk back to her, but he then felt that it wasn''t a wise thing to argue with her. "Just wait here!" he said. After uttering these words, Daniel began to have dinner. The model opposite to them kept looking at the two in an odd way. Finally, Daniel threw the model a sharp nce, and said, "Leave now if you''ve finished your dinner!" The model was so scared of him that she left straight away, without even finishing her meal. "I have something urgent to do, so I need to leave right now. Bye, Mr. Si!" she said. When she saw the model running away panicked, J scornfully smiled, and thought that the model N?velDrama.Org holds this content. was, indeed, just another stupid woman with big breasts! J had just slightly frightened her, but she now really believed what she had earlier said. If Daniel didn''t stand up to make room for her to pass, J couldn''t get out of her seat. After she finished her dinner, she had to kill time by browsing on her phone, with her chin resting on her palm. The dinner was now over. They then left the restaurant, one behind the other. J quickly walked up to her car and got into it. Not uttering a single word, she started the car, but at that moment, Daniel climbed in the passenger''s seat and closed the door. He switched the car''s engine off, and asked, "What are you doing?!" ''Does he think he can act like a bastard just because he''s rich? Why does he keep involving me in his affairs when he is dating two girls at the same time? I don''t want to be a mistress. Can''t he just leave me alone?'' thought J. Daniel slowly fastened his seat belt, and said, "Drive to The Royal Mansion Neighborhood and let''s go to my house. I need to talk with you." "No!" replied J. In fact, she wanted to say that he didn''t have anything to talk with her; he was just a bastard who thought only with his penis. If she agreed to go to his house, he just could then just sleep with her and not be responsible for her, without doing anything meaningful. Whenever she thought of this, J became very angry. She was furious, because she couldn''t defeat Daniel when they fought with each other, and didn''t seed in resisting him either. And what was even worse, her heart was softened every time she saw him. When he saw that she was suddenly angry, Daniel just nced at her and said, "Swap seats with me!" Chapter 134 You Have Nothing to do with Cleverness Chapter 134 You Have Nothing to do with Cleverness Daniel unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. As soon as he got off, J immediately stepped hard on the gas and turned her car around. But Daniel suddenly appeared in front of her car. Startled, J hastily hit the brakes, bumping her forehead on the steering wheel in the process. "It hurts!" yelled J. Gritting her teeth, J ced her palm on her forehead. Before she knew it, Daniel opened the car door, unfastened her seatbelt, and carefully brought her out of the car. With his left arm supporting her slim waist, their two bodies pressed tight together. Then, Daniel held up his hand and brought it on J''s forehead, tenderly massaging it. "Shit! If I end up having a concussion, how are you going to rece my clever brain?" protested J. Clever brain? Daniel burst intoughter and teased, "You have nothing to do with cleverness." If J was really clever, why couldn''t she understand that Daniel did all of these to protect her? Although, no matter how silly she seemed, Daniel still thought she was cute. "Are you sure? If I''m not clever enough, how was I able to get you?" J said. Meanwhile, she was thinking of a way to get rid of him. Daniel didn''t object her words. Instead, he agreed. "Okay, now that you have me, why do you want to throw me away like this?" he asked. She seemed more irresponsible! Humph! She pushed him away and went into her car again, but Daniel dragged her out by her waist. He took her hat off, and threw it into the backseat. "I hate seeing it!" he said. Of all the colors, why did she have to choose that? She really meant to torture him with a green hat! (TN: Wearing a green hat in Chinese has the metaphor meaning as being disloyal to the husband.) J coldly remarked, "You bought me this dress." "Of course, I know that!" said Daniel. "Then you should have known that the dress and the hat came in a set." said J. Daniel felt embarrassed. He brought J to the passenger seat, where she reluctantly sat. Daniel took the wheel and drove her Mercedes Benz toward the Royal Mansion Neighbourhood. At Mansion No. 9 J couldn''t do anything as they both drove past her own mansion and into the garage of Mansion No. 9. She then had no choice but to follow Daniel into his mansion. She changed her shoes and climbed up the stairs. J set aside her frustrations and decided to go with the situation. If Daniel wanted to talk, fine. They would talk. At the study room Daniel casually sat on the chair behind his desk and demanded, "Come here!" He patted hisp when he noticed that J was about to sit on the other side of the desk. ... J red at him and continued to sit opposite of Daniel. She put her handbag on his desk and looked at Daniel, who was also looking at her. For a moment, they stared into each other''s eyes. "Tomorrow, I''ll ask Kate to let everyone know that she and I broke up. You just stay well by my side. I will also ask your parents'' approval of our engagement. If you''re willing to, I hope we can get married as soon as possible, " said Daniel. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled a stick out, and ced it between his lips. As he raised the lighter close to the cigarette''s tip, he caught a glimpse of J frowning. With a sigh, he put the stick back into the box and pushed the box aside. Relieved, J responded. "Yes, yes, no and no." Daniel understood the meaning of her answers, but with confusion, he asked, "Why don''t you want to get engaged and then married with me as soon as possible?" Her twost words made him upset. "I don''t trust you!" said J. J didn''t try to hide her true thoughts as she wanted to make everything clear. Daniel''s right index finger tapped lightly at his desk. Both of them were still staring at each other''s eyes. Neither of them wanted to look away. "Come here!" Daniel demanded once more. With his hand, he gestured for her toe closer. Insulted, J felt as if he was treating her like a little dog. "No way, unless you politely call me!" J shouted. Daniel felt ashamed. He stood up from his chair, offered his hand, which she took, and walked her to the sofa. He sat down first, and then he gently pulled J on hisp. His hands moved up to her waist. J tried to struggle out of his grip, but he didn''t let go. She gave up, and let him do what he wanted. "Tell me, why don''t you trust me?" asked Daniel. J''s arms wrapped Daniel''s neck, pulling him close so she could rest her head on his shoulder. Her initiative to get close made Daniel very happy that he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Because..." J reasoned, "You are a bad and wicked man. You''re keeping a rtionship with two girls at the same time. Oh, not just two, but a few!" The man chuckled and said, "I''ve told you that my rtionship with Kate is to protect you. As for the other women, they were... not worth mentioning." Why would Daniel admit that the only reason he had those other women was to make J angry? "During your two-month stay in America, I didn''t receive a single phone call. I can''t rely on you!" J continued her protest, feeling aggrieved. "Wow, really? The nerve of you to bring that up. I asked you to go with me and you didn''t! Why didn''t you anyway?" Daniel snapped back. He felt aggrieved too. J raised her head and stared at him in disbelief. "I already told you I would have nothing to do there. You''re not settling down there and you went on a business trip. I have a business to run here. Have you thought about that? Did you consider my interests?" said J. Her words sounded reasonable, so Daniel replied, "Fine. I''m wrong. It''s my fault, okay?" He raised his eyebrows and apologized to her. "No, it''s not okay! Can you guarantee that you would keep a monogamous rtionship? Sticking to only one woman?" J asked. "Yes, I can!" Daniel promised her straightforward. With a serious look in his eyes, he stared intensely into her eyes. As long as J behaved well, he would definitely behave well too. "Good!" So, after a short conversation between them, J easily forgave Daniel, whom she had loathed for two months. "I''m flying back to America tomorrow. Come with me, " said Daniel. He still had some work to deal with in America, and he had to stay there for about half a month. Upon hearing this, J curled her lips and asked, "Why are you going to America again?" He held her tight in his arms and exined, "My sister ising back home, and I have transferred the acting CEO of A Country to work in America. Also, there are still a lot of things that I have to personally deal with." He didn''t tell her more about these trivial affairs. She silently rested her head on his shoulder and pondered on whether she should go with him. "If you want to go, but you''re worried about your cake shop business, then I''ll arrange for two more employees to help you manage it, " Daniel suggested. J''s only worry here was her cake shop. J slightly nodded her head and said, "Can I offer you some help when you''re busy, and when you''re free, we can go out to y around?" J understood that Daniel was very busy with his work. Whenever she went to hispany, he was always busy working. All of his cars had piles of documents so he could always have ess to them. And if he didn''t have Spark to manage his work phone, he would have endless phone calls to answer every minute of the day. "You don''t need to help me there. You can just go out and have fun, but remember toe back to me in the evening, " said Daniel. His palm gripped her pale, white hand, which was smooth and soft, as if she never had done any tough work. He hoped that J''s hands would stay like this forever, even when she got old, when her hair was all white and her teeth was all lost. "Ah, yes! Shirley''s major in college was business management, and she was one of the most exceptional students in college! What about giving her a position in yourpany, so that she can help you with your work? What do you think?" J suggested. J thought that it was a waste of N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Shirley''s talent if she worked in her cake shop. Shirley would be better off using her college degree in SL Group. When she mentioned Shirley, Daniel frowned, but he considered, "If you really want her to work in my Daniel understood J''s worries. Shirley Zheng was her best friend, and if she could have a good and stable job, J would be more relieved. "Yes, she should be a talented person, as her scores in college were so great. Let her work as a trainee. Just give it a try, " said J. J was confident about Shirley''s talent, and she believed that she would be of help to Daniel with his work. Chapter 135 I Will Talk to My Father-in-law Chapter 135 I Will Talk to My Father-inw "OK, I''ll give her a chance to ept an interview. But I won''t intervene in her recruitment, " said Daniel. J was the only one who had ever been employed through the inner rtions in the SL Group''s history. "OK, if she''s employed, please give her more chances, and let her help more with your work, " said J. J was now feeling regretful that she didn''t choose a business management degree. Otherwise, she could help Daniel herself. Although she had worked with the SL Group, it was only for a short period and she could only do minimal, basic tasks. She could hardly grasp Daniel''s importantmercial affairs. Daniel looked affectionately at this innocent girl, and thought that he could never find another woman as silly as her in this world. What kind of woman would arrange her own man to be with another woman? Didn''t J throw a fit about trusting Daniel? Why was she bringing her woman best friend close to him? Perhaps she thought that the best job was to stay by Daniel''s side! God! This stupid girl! "But..." Daniel remarked, "It may not be best for Shirley Zheng to be my secretary or assistant." He tried to talk some sense into her. J thought his words meant that he didn''t believe in what Shirley was capable of, so she gripped his palm tight and assured him. "Shirley will be great for the job. She can endure anything! I always saw her read books until two o''clock in the morning when we were in college." J had the utmost admiration for Shirley and her resiliency. "No, J, " Daniel exined, with a sigh, "What I meant was that Shirley is female, my beloved woman''s best friend, don''t you think..." Before he could speak out the words "it might send out the wrong signal", J curled her lips and stared at Daniel, with annoyance. "If you''re not willing to give her the chance, then forget it. I''ll keep her in my cake shop!" said J. J didn''tprehend Daniel at all. She only thought that Daniel didn''t like Shirley, that he doubted Shirley''s skills. Daniel could feel her frustration, so he sighed and said, "Don''t get angry. We''ll do as you say." Daniel thought it best to leave it alone. He did need help, and if Shirley Zheng was so capable, then it would be good to have one more effective assistant. After hearing those words, J smiled and kissed his cheek. "I''ll go to America with you. Let me go home to pack my luggage." When Daniel heard that she was going back home, he held her tighter and demanded, "No, don''t leave. Stay here with me tonight." During his two months in America, he had used up all his restraint to keep himself from contacting her. Now, she was in his arms, and he did not want to let her go. "I have to. My father will get angry, " J disagreed. Samuel still had beef with Daniel, and J didn''t know what to do. Hearing her mention her father, Daniel loosened his arms off of her waist and said, "Don''t worry! I''ll talk to him. Wait for me in the bedroom." He stood up from the sofa and took his phone out to make a call. "Are you calling my father? What are you going to tell him?" asked J. She got tense all of a sudden. Samuel was extremely resentful toward Daniel, so J was afraid that Daniel might have a hard time dealing with him. Daniel gave her a kiss on the lips. "Rx. I will talk to my father-inw. Go to the bedroom now, " he assured her. When she heard Daniel call her Dad "father-inw", J''s face flushed crimson. She mischievously bit his hand and said, "What do you mean father-inw?" "Yes, my honey!" Daniel tittered. My goodness! This shameless man! J, with her face flushing red and her foot stomping on the floor, took her handbag and walked to the bedroom. His bedroom was clean and tidy. He must have some sort of household helper toe clean his mansion everyday. It was always spotless. She, then, took out her phone from her handbag. Uh-oh. Her phone was off. No wonder it kept quiet the whole day. When she turned it on, it kept beeping with voicemail alerts. There were messages from her father, her mother, her brother, and even Shirley. Since Daniel was calling her father, she called Shirley instead. "Oh, thank God! You called back! I was so worried about you!" answered Shirley. Shirley was not able to reach J the whole afternoon, so she was worried sick. J giggled and said, "Shirley, I have some of good news for you." Ecstatic, she threw herself onto the wide bed. "What good news? Are you getting married?" Shirley was joking. "No! What are you talking about? It''s too early to talk about marriage!" said J. "Shirley, I''ve discussed with Daniel, and he promised to set you up with an interview for the SL Group!" J couldn''t contain her excitement as she told Shirley the news. Shirley was speechless. After all, it is the SL Group! Daniel''spany! Regainingposure, Shirley asked, "Could you repeat your words again? J?" Shirley was so This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. shocked that her voice trembled. "I said, that Daniel promised to set you up with an interview for hispany. If you pass, you can work in the SL Group!" repeated J. If Shirley could pass the interview, her family would be overjoyed. The sry and benefits in the SL Group was amazing. Still in shock, Shirley covered her mouth. She choked and said, "J..." But she was too excited to utter any more out. "Are you happy?" asked J. J knew Shirley must be happy. Her degree would be useful in the SL Group. Shirley''s career was ruined by Walter, that scumbag, but now, she finally had a good opportunity. "Yes, of course I''m happy! J! But... J, what''s the rtionship between you and Daniel?" Shirley asked warily. "We... we are... boyfriend and girlfriend. But no, not yet, it''s not confirmed yet." This question had pestered J for a long time. She and Daniel hadn''t put abel on their rtionship yet, even though they had been together for so long. When Shirley heard that J and Daniel might be in a romantic rtionship, her excitement disappeared. "But isn''t Daniel with... Kate Song?" asked Shirley. "Yes, but he promised me that he would break up with Kate!" answered J. J''s requirement was simple. As long as Daniel would break up all his rtions with other women, she was willing to stay with him. "Well, J. How long have you... been together?" asked Shirley. "We have been together... Let me think... for less than six months!" said J. J counted from the day she lost her virginity to him. Shirley''s eyes kept staring on herputer, without moving an inch. She remembered that J told her that she had nothing to do with Daniel. She wondered how they became a couple now. "Shirley?" She kept silent on the phone, which made J call her name. "Uhm, I''m doing myundry. I should hang up now, " replied Shirley. She was panicking, so she wanted to end the call immediately. "Wait. I have other things to tell you. I''m going to America tomorrow, so please take good care of yourself here! If anyone from the SL Group contacts you, just go and show up for the interview. Don''t worry about my shop! Keep this in mind, okay?" J kept on telling Shirley to go for the interview. She was worried that Shirley would miss this good opportunity. Chapter 136 You Must be My Girlfriend Chapter 136 You Must be My Girlfriend With her eyes red, Shirley said, "Well, J, thank you. I see." And then tears ran down Shirley''s face. But why? Why did she fall in love with Daniel? Such a perfect man¡­ He was her best friend''s boyfriend. What should she do¡­ J didn''t notice anything wrong with Shirley. She was excited, and tumbled in bed after hanging up the phone. Daniel came back home half an hourter. When he returned, J was on the bed, chatting with Sally, who was asking her whether she wanted to go to America or not. Daniel jumped on her and grabbed her phone out of her hand. He then turned her over to face him. Looking deep into her eyes, he kissed her seductive red lips. "Daniel, stop it! Tell me first what my father said." She was not in the mood unless she knew what her father had said first. He didn''t mention of her father''s fury, and just said, "At first he was angry, butter he agreed that you go to America with me." "And then?" "And then nothing else." "What? Didn''t he re up? Or¡­ didn''t he threaten you to be responsible for me?" It should not have been like that. Watching her confused lovely face, he smiled. "Of course he got angry, but I eventually made it out. The only thing that you need to care about right now is to be with me." "How did you make it out?" She was really curious. If she was right, this time her father should have been in a furious rage. "I told him that if you were willing to go with me, we could skip the engagement and get married immediately." ¡­ Did that mean that he really loved her? And that he was eager to marry her? But¡­ He had never said he loved her. His true love was someone else. "J..." He whispered. "What?" J looked at him in wonder. There was something wrong, and she felt a little bit nervous. But why? "I love you!" After a brief silence, J finally took control of her fast beating heart, and replied, "Well..." "Jane..." He called her name again, in a sweet and soft voice. "What?" She nuzzled close to him, and found it was embarrassing to meet with his eyes. "I love you!" He said it sincerely. Another short silence came. After, she said, "Daniel." "Em, yes?" He was expecting her answer. "Goodnight!" She said it sweetly, and gave him a kiss. Still, the man got angry. He rolled over on her, and asked, "Are you just inviting me?" This made him feel better. "No! I meant it, otherwise. I''ll go home right now!" Jane was so shy that she didn''t know what to do or where to look. "You don''t have to go back home. Father has given you a month''s holiday." "What? Why?" "No why''s!" He interrupted and held her anxious little hands, while kissing her rosy and tasty ruby-red lips. After a while, she said, "Daniel." "Yes?" "What''s the rtionship between us?" J honestly felt sad to ask such a question. The man got off of her and held her in his arms. "Do you want to be my wife, or to be my wife?" ¡­ "If you don''t make it clear, I won''t marry you!" she said sourly. She now got rid of him and rolled over to the side of the bed to get up and put her shoes on. Daniel also got out of bed on the other side and walked towards her to put his arms around her waist. "J, can you be my girlfriend?" he asked. "No! You once said the same thing to Kate. I hate to hear that!" The girl willingly refused him. The man then raised his eyebrow, and said, "You must be my girlfriend!" "What if I don''t want to?" "You don''t?" While fondling her face with his hand, he said, "Well, then be my lover. How do you think?" J beat away his hand and proudly raised her chin. "Go and look for some of your sweet hot lovers. Sorry, but I just don''t care!" She saw a resentful look in his eyes, which made her unconsciously walk back. He made a step forward, and as she kept stepping backwards, he kept stepping forward. But, unless you opened the door, the only way out was through the balcony. He extended his hands against the door, circling her around. Oh no! Kabe-Don! A Kabe¨CDon of such a handsome man suddenly made J''s heart beat faster. She would''ve liked to say that she does. Actually, she would love doing anything for him now! "Jane, you never learn. How should I punish you?" His voice was so soft and alluring that it almost killed her. Oh no! It was so charming when he called out her name. His voice was really deep and sexy. Sheid her arms around his neck, and said, " What can I do for you, Mr. Si?" She would do whatever he said. "Be my girlfriend!" If she didn''t want to get married with him now, he could at least let her off for another two years. Unless she found out that she was pregnant one day¡­ Well, that it was not up to her. "OK. See how good I am? Now you have to follow me!" If she had been obedient from the start, it would''ve been less fun. Her acting like a spoiled child made Daniel giggle. "Well, as you like." She leaned close to him and kissed him. At that moment, the room was filled with their distinct sexy passion. The man and woman kissed each other so hard and passionately that they almost ran short of breath. But J interrupted their tender moment, and said, "Go and take a shower first." "Not now." The man couldn''t wait anymore. However, the woman looked upon him aggrievedly, and said, "You said you''d listen to me." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. ¡­ Daniel stopped his act and buried his face into her neck. "Jane, are you kidding me?" "Yep, but you seduced me first." After she replied, she stuck her tongue out at him. Seduced? When did he go so low as to seduce a woman! J was then suddenly picked up and as she slipped her arms around his neck, she cried, "Shower! I told you to go and take a shower!" "Yes, I know, and I''m going to take a shower right now. What do you think I''m doing?" The man said all of this in aplete make¨Cbelieve confusion. Eh¡­ J felt embarrassed, and touched her nose. She said, "Of course I was thinking about the shower. Go!" They entered the bathroom together, and J was put on a rest bed near the bathtub. Daniel then went to fill the tub. Soon after, a scream was hearding out of the bathroom. "Daniel, you promised me to have a shower, not this!" "Well. This is shower!" His voice sounded innocent. "Stop! Don''t touch me!" The sound of running water was very loud. "Well, okay." No touching, only kissing. He kissed her tummy, and J felt helpless. Forget about it. She didn''t want to say anything more to this sex maniac. In the morning, at sunrise, Daniel finally stopped and left alone the almost fainted girl''s body. Chapter 137 Samuel, Please Dont Be So Unreasonable Chapter 137 Samuel, Please Don''t Be So Unreasonable Daniel got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He then returned to bed and fell asleep with J in his arms. At about one o''clock in the afternoon, J, who was still sleeping, was awakened by her phone''s ringtone. She felt very drowsy and reached out for her phone, which was at the bedside. Not checking who was calling her, she just slid the answer button, and said, "Hello, J speaking." "J Shao! You''re mad!" Samuel shouted at her on the other end of the line. J then woke suddenly, and startled, she asked, "Father, what happened?" "You stayed out all night and didn''t even think to call me. Why are you still asking? J Shao, were you born to make me angry?!" shouted Samuel. It was now alreadyte in the afternoon, but J was still sleeping! And Samuel had already guessed what she had done all night! When he thought of this, Samuel really wanted to beat Daniel up. "Oh, I thought that Daniel had already told you, " said J. "Well, yes, he did tell me, " replied Samuel. But he still wanted his daughter to personally tell him about it. ... J, who was speechless with anger, yawned, and then said, "Samuel, please don''t be so unreasonable!" When he heard his daughter''s words, Samuel felt even more distressed. "You''re going to America, aren''t you? Why don''t youe back and pack up your things? Do you want to go there without carrying anything with you?" asked Samuel. He thought that his daughter was about to elope with Daniel! s! "No, I won''t leave for America without carrying anything with me. I''lle home and pack my things, " replied J. After she hang up the phone, J, who was still sleepy, got out of bed, went to bathroom and began to wash. When she came out of No. 9 mansion, Spark, who was waiting for her at the vi''s gates, walked up to her when he saw her. "Miss Shao, Mr. Si has asked me to tell you that you just need to carry with you a few necessities; he has already prepared clothes and other items for you in America." "Well, I see. Thanks!" said J. "Miss Shao, are you going to No. 8 mansion now? If so, I can take you there!" said Spark. He then immediately opened the Cayenne''s back door and invited J to sit on the backseat. At No. 8 mansion J opened the vi''s door and secretly poked her head inside the house. She found that someone was in the kitchen, but no one in the living room and dining room. After she quietly locked the door behind her, J snuck through the dining room''s door along the wall, and while looking inside the kitchen, she found that E was busy cooking. She then gingerly walked out of the dining room with quick steps and quickly ran upstairs. When she arrived at the second floor staircase, Samuel, holding John in his arms, was looking at her in the corridor. Well... "Hi, father! Hi, John!" J managed to calm herself down, and pretending to be natural, she greeted her father and her brother. "Sister!" said John. He stretched out his hands and wanted J to hold him. J then immediately ran towards them, took John from her father''s arms and then seized the chance to go to her bedroom. John, who tightly hugged his sister, thought that J was maybe ying with him, so he was very happy. Before Samuel caught up with her, J mmed the door. "J Shao!" shouted Samuel. He was angry and fierce outside J''s bedroom. "Samuel, you can go and do some other things first. I need to pack up my things now, so please don''t disturb me!" said J. She kissed John''s cheek and then put him on her bed. "Dear John. I have to pack some of my things now. Just sit here and wait for me!" J also gently pinched his smooth cheek. John, who seemed to understand what J had just said, nodded and quietly looked at her, who was busy. E and Samuel downstairs knew that their n had seed, so they quickly carried their luggage, which had been hidden and packed up advance, texted a message to J, and then rapidly left the house. When he saw E and Samuel rushing out of the garage, Spark felt that something was wrong. "Ah!" A scream of despair came from the room on the second floor. When Spark hesitated and wondered whether he should go upstairs and see what was going on, J, holding John in her arms, ran out of the vi, breathless. But by now, the Cadic had already driven away. J ran behind the car, and shouted, "Samuel, how can you treat me like this?" This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. In the airport''s lounge Daniel and J, who were each wearing sunsses, were sitting in the first-ss lounge, and Daniel was looking at John held in J''s arms. "Brother, you''re so handsome. Does mother* know that?" asked John. His naive voice amused J. Daniel stared at John, and tly uttered, "Call me brother-inw, little man." "Brother-inw, will I be as handsome as you are after I grow up?" asked John. John, with a pair of big eyes which were exactly the same as J''s, stared at Daniel and almost drooled. "If you keep in touch with me in the future, you''ll surely be infected with my handsomeness, " replied Daniel. He raised theers of his mouth, but still didn''t have the courage to take John from J''s arms. J chuckled and said, "Daniel, you''re narcissistic, but does your mother know this?" When he heard her, Daniel calmly replied, "You can call your mother-inw and figure out whether she know or not." ... "I''ll help you correct what you just said. She''s my sworn mother not mother-inw!" She didn''t want Daniel to take any advantage of her; she wasn''t that stupid. "She will be your mother-inw sooner orter, and you should try to get used to the fact, " said Daniel. Daniel, who slightly smiled and was in a good mood, whistled to John. John immediatelyughed and got down from J. With his short legs, he ran in front of Daniel, and asked him to hold him. The sunset''s light shone on Daniel through the French windows in the lounge. He seemed to be emitting the golden light himself, like a god, while he held John in his arms. This scene was deeply engraved on J''s mind. When the ne took off, J, who acted like a mother, asked the airline stewardess for some hot water and reconstituted powdered milk for John in a tearing hurry. But, when the water cooled down, the nursing bottle was overturned, and the powdered milk spilled out. And when the nursing bottle was upright, the water, however, also spilled out... Daniel sighed, and he stood up from his chair and pulled J to the side. After he let J sit down, he put John into her arms. After that, Daniel slightly rolled up his sleeves and personally prepared the powdered milk. To J''s amazement, Daniel carefully read the steps for preparing the powdered milk and correctly prepared it for John. The water''s temperature was just right for drinking. John, with the nursing bottle in his hands, sucked hungry on the powdered milk. J was relieved, and John, who was drinking the powdered milk, felt drowsy. J tenderly helped him adjust his posture and let him lie in her arms. She then imitated E and patted him on his little body to lull him to sleep. But, even if this seemed to be a simple thing, it was not easy for her to do it well. After several minutes, J''s left arm, on which John''s head rested, began to ache. After J continuously helped John adjust on several sleeping positions, Daniel finally put down the documents he was handling and held John, who was very sleepy, in his arms. When he was in afortable position, John finally fell asleep. Both J and Daniel were green hands in taking care of a child, but it seemed that Daniel did better than J. J massaged her aching left arm, and said, "How does my mother actually look after John? He''s so heavy!" When she remembered that she had to take care of John for more than ten days, J could not help but whine at the thought of this. "If you practice a lot on how to look after a child now, you will find it easy to take care of our own child in the future, " said Daniel. Uttering thesest words, he again picked up the documents beside him and continued to read them. Chapter 138 How to Change Diapers Chapter 138 How to Change Diapers J blushed when she heard his words and nced at him, saying, "I''m not going to have a baby now!" She herself was still just a child. She yearned for the free time. But in the same time, as she touched her belly, J thought that she would be also very happy if there was a baby growing in her body. "I will have it sooner orter." Daniel raised his eyebrows. He would have to put a baby in her, in order to make J marry him as soon as possible. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. It was helpful taking care of John now. Yet he had so much to worry about Jane, who was just like a child. J raised his arm and bit him gently on it. "No more talking!" He kissed the spot where she just bit, which made J''s face flush red. The next severe challenge J had to face was John pooing... How to change diapers? The young couple helplessly looked at each other. Finally, Daniel handed the baby to Spark, who was sitting behind them. Spark didn''t know what to do, too. He alsopletelycked the experience of taking care of a baby. So they asked the airline stewardess for her help. She already had experience with this kind of task, and she helped to clean John''s bottom and change his diaper. After this, the stewardess exined to the little couple the whole process in detail, and told them several attentions. "Thank you so much!" J smiled at the stewardess, as if she had understood what she had just said. But in fact, she just wanted to cry. If they weren''t on a ne, J would''ve called Samuel and protested to him. The acting CEO of the American branch of the SL Group met with them in person at the airport. "Mr. Si, you''ve had a long flight." The acting CEO, Colin, who was just about Daniel''s age, was appointed to the position from A Country. He was L''s nephew, and had been working in A Country for nearly three years now. He was endowed with both leader-like qualities and investment expansive horizons. "Brother, this is my girlfriend, J." Colin quickly scanned J, smiled, and nodded at her. He was confused about the baby in her arms. He didn''t ask a single question about the baby, but just stretched his right hand out, and said, "Hello, Miss Shao, my name is Colin." J felt a little shy when Daniel said that she was his girlfriend, which surprised Daniel. Daniel took John from J''s arms when she was moving him from her right hand to her left. She then shook hands with Colin. "Hello, Mr. Li. I''m d to meet you." Daniel nced at J, and said, "There''s no need to be d of meeting him. Just stay with me and you''ll be happy." ... J rolled her eyes to him with a flushed, red face. Colinughed, and said, "Then it''s my honour to meet Miss Shao." He was curious about the woman that could make his brother feel so jealous. They walked up to the gates of the airport, where four Maybach were parked, and Daniel and J got inside the second one. Colin and Spark got inside the third, and in the first and fourth there were several bodyguards. They went straight to Daniel''s private residence in America, which was over a thousand square meters big. The car was parked at the gates of the vi. Daniel got out of it with John held in his arms while J walked behind them. But what happened next made J look at Daniel severely. Eight maids, divided into two rows, were standing neatly at the door of the vi. Their boss was was probably in his forties. They bowed neatly to Daniel, and said, "We wee the young master back home." J had already seen this kind of situation happening before. She just gracefully followed Daniel and entered the vi, which was decorated in a western style. Spark led two bodyguards to take their luggage up to the second floor. While J looked around the vi, Daniel handed John to the butler, and said, "Be careful with him!" The butler then said to the maids, "You, Sasha and Mary! Take good care of the little master. There must be no slips!" "Got it, butler Park!" John then looked at the woman who was holding him, and lightly pinched her cheeks, saying, "Hi, "Hi, little master." The maid responded to John. Daniel let her sit beside him, and then a maid served them tea. Two other maids came to massage Daniel, and J felt a little angry at this, but she instead just took a sip of tea and suppressed her anger. "Daniel, the materials have already been ssified. Shall we now go to thepany?" Colin came to him with a wedge of files in his hands. Daniel nodded, "OK. Jane, you can put John to sleep for a while on the second floor. If you ever need anything, just ask butler Park." When he turned his head around, he was confused about the angry woman. Butler Park walked up to J to greet her, and said, "Miss Shao, I''m butler Park." "Butler Park, she is the woman of the house from now on, " said Daniel. He then stood up from the sofa and held J''s hand while walking up to the second floor. Butler Park nodded at once. "Yes, Mr. Si and Mrs. Si." Mrs. Si... J turned around, and said to butler Park, "Just call me J. I''m not..." "J, go upstairs." Daniel stopped her exnation, discontented. ''Is she disassociating from me?'' Daniel''s room was his innermost space. He closed the door and then embraced J in his arms. "Why are you so angry?" J raised her eyebrows. Was it that so obvious? Could he really tell it? She separated herself from his embrace and began to look around his bedroom. "Mr. Si, you are really something! Eight women to serve you; that must be great!" Every one of them had a beautiful face, a good figure and were also super talented. They should''ve attended Miss World instead of being hired as maids in some house. Daniel then understood that she was jealous! He embraced her again, and kissed her on her lips. "Jerry sent them to me, so your brother is the one to me." Wo years ago, when Jerry had been on a business trip in America, and when he was just about to meet with Jane, he was attacked by the families of whom he had lost awsuit. Several strong men took out their daggers and attacked him out in the street. At that time, Daniel had just taken over the American branch from Harry and stayed there. So Jerry called him. Chapter 139 Wait for Me at Home Chapter 139 Wait for Me at Home Daniel had already saved Jerry once, and at Sven''s suggestion, Jerry had sent over to his house several maids to work for Daniel. It had been of no concern to Daniel at that time, and those maids knew their ce, and were experienced, so he had decided to keep them for the time being. "Humph!" J groaned with discontent. Sitting face to face, Daniel said, "Jane, if you really want to, I will fire them." "Of course I do! But... Maybeter. I can''t take care of John all by myself now!" she said, while in the same time sighing. ''I can be really clumsy sometimes!'' she thought. "As you wish, and you can fire them any time you want. Are you happy now?" asked Daniel. ''If I can''t make my hot-tempered girlfriend happy, how can I go to work then?'' he thought. "No!" she replied. She stared at him again and said, "They couldn''t keep their hands off you and you just turned a blind eye to it. Daniel, you have absolutely no respect for me, do you?" For a while he was confused, but he eventually realised what she was trying to say. He replied, "It''s no big deal, I will talk to butler Park." His eyes then overflowed with a cheerful light gleaming in them. ''It had never urred to me that she could be so jealous, '' he thought. "That''s OK!" replied J. He had given his word, so she eventually stopped before going too far. She then gave him a kiss on his cheek, and said, "Go to work now. I will catch some sleep along with John." "OK, " he said. Daniel put his right arm around her slender waist and walked out the bedroom together. Downstairs, they saw that John was running outside the vi, followed by three maids. Surprised, Colin looked at the young coupleing down. He could tell that they were in a good mood from Daniel''s bright eyes. ''Should the poker-faced Daniel really have a look like that on his face?'' he wondered. Daniel gave some orders to butler Park and then was about to leave with Spark and Colin. Suddenly, something urred to him. He turned around, walked towards J, and after he kissed her red lips, he said, "Wait for me at home." He kissed her in front of the others, and this made J blush. She gently pushed Daniel away, and mumbled, "Go to work. Aren''t you sheepish?" Danielughed, and was pushed towards the door by her. J also went out of the vi with them because she had to bring John back in the house. She managed to take John upstairs, and after she walked into the bedroom, sheid him on Daniel''s bed. Then, she took off his shoes, and said, "Now, we''ll both go to sleep." However, John was crawling around on the bed and wouldn''t go to sleep. "Sister, I''m not sleepy, but you go and have a good sleep, " said John. ... Their flight, which hadsted for more than a dozen hours, had exhausted J to her limits. She listlessly said on the bed, "John, go to sleep now, or I will call daddy and mommy toe and take you back home." ''Daddy and mommy, why haven''t you called me yet to ask if everything is going alright with John?'' she wondered. "No, sister, y with me, please, " replied John. He crawled over to her and then lied on her belly and acted shamelessly. Being so exhausted, she could barely open her eyes any more. She grasped his chubby little hand, and said, "John, go to sleep right now. I''m very sleepy." "But, sister, I need to go to the toilet, " he said. At that moment, he let go of J''s hand and got out of bed. But J''s mind was in a whirl because of how tired she was and couldn''t tell what he was talking about. She hazily watched him getting out of bed, and said, "John, stop." Now she had to open her eyes and sit up out of bed as well. John was clutching his belly with his hands and was jumping around in a hurry. He said, "Sister, I really want to pee!" ''What? Pee?'' she thought. She finally woke up, put on her shoes and then looked around for the bathroom. The bedroom was really big, and she first entered the wardrobe before finding the bathroom. However, John, who was taking his pants off in the bathroom, suddenly let out a scream. J was dumbfounded when she saw the dripping urineing from his pants. John had pissed his pants... ''I remember that he was wearing a diaper. Where is it now?'' she wondered. She called butler Park, and said, "John has pissed his pants. Could you please help him take a bath and change his clothes?" Butler Park summoned Sasha and Mary to undress John and clean the bathroom after him. "Mrs. Si, do you want us to bathe master John in Mr. Si''s bathroom?"asked Sasha. ''Mr. Si is obsessed about cleanliness, so I have to ask first, '' thought Sasha. J nodded, and said, "Yes!" She had to learn how to bathe and dress John herself. "But, madam, Mr. Si doesn''t like others to use anything that is his. I think we should ask for his permission first, " said Mary, one of the other maids. She was suddenly interrupted. ''She knew that I''m Chinese, and she can speak Chinese as well. She seemed to speak to me in English on purpose. But my gut tells me that she did it on purpose, '' thought J. "No, I can call the shots here." J nonchntly replied to her in Chinese. ''If I can''t call the shots on these things, then why am I here? To work as a maid?'' thought J. She didn''t look too well, and Park gave Mary a lesson. "You heard her, go to work!" "Yes, Mr. Park, " reverently replied Mary. She then went to the bathroom. J followed her. She watched them put John naked in the tub, while the third maid brought in some baby bath products. "Sister, I''m shy. Don''t peep at me!" said John. He covered his pee-pee and then hid himself under water. J rolled her eyes at John, and said, "Wimpy kid, chop-chop, hurry! We have to sleep after your bath!" John had gotten used to ying with toys while taking a bath. But, right now, there were none in the tub. Heined to J, "Sister, I want toys! I want toys!" "Take a bath first. I will take you to buy some if we have timeter this evening, " replied J. She was still watching the two maids gently and expertly bathing her little brother. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. "Jane, I''ll tell on you if you still keep treating me like this!" said John. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked up at J. The time difference between A Country and C Country was twelve hours, and J had been utterly worn out by now. In a daze, she said, "OK, go and tell dad then." Although he was just a little child, John was not that stupid, and replied, "No! I''ll call mommy, not daddy!" ''Everyone knows that dad dotes on Jane. It is of no use if I call dad, '' thought John. "John, we have the same mother. She will be more rational with me!" replied J. She couldn''t help but picture the real situation to him. John humphed and frowned. He had his dad''s brows. At the end of the bath, J went to the wardrobe and unpacked a suitcase to take out an all-in-one pajama for John. She then took him to the bedroom, ced him on the bed, held him tightly, and demanded, "You must go to sleep now!" Chapter 140 Why are You Pressing on My Sister Chapter 140 Why are You Pressing on My Sister "But I''m not sleepy!" John protested to her sisters while he was trying to struggle out of her arms. "But I am!" yelled J. "Then you go to bed by yourself! I''m not sleepy, and I must y with my toys. I want my Transformers, and my remote controlled ne!" demanded John. He finally managed to get rid of J''s grip, and he sat on the pillow beside her while he was staring at her and protesting. J had no choice but to call butler Park again. "Mr. Park, please go and buy something for me!" "Yes, Miss J, anything. Please tell me what you need!" said butler Park. J then said to her brother, "Tell uncle Park what you want." J threw a glimpse at John, who was now very excited. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. John spoke out a list of toys'' names, Park understood, and then left the bedroom. "Now, John Shao, you must go to bed! If you don''t, I won''t be giving you any toys!" J had already taken out her phone and was ready to call to Samuel. Hearing J''s warning, John had no choice but toy well on the bed beside her. He said, "I''m going to sleep now, but remember to keep your word!" "I will, sleep tight now! My dear brother." The bathroom was soon cleaned and tidied up, and the whole bedroom returned to its peacefulness. They didn''t wake up until six o''clock in the evening. John woke up first, and the moment he opened his eyes, he pped his little palm on J''s belly, and J suddenly woke up startled from her dreaming. Staring at her slyly giggling brother, J nearly came to a breakdown point. Without uttering a single word, she dialed Samuel''s phone number. "Dad, why did you have to y this evil game on your daughter?" protested J over the phone. If she didn''t find a way to release her anger out, she would keep on feeling more and more ufortable. She didn''t have the slightest experience in taking care of a child, but she was left hanging with a two-year-old baby. But when J took a second look at her giggling brother, who was actually pretty lovely, she felt a little bit better. "Sooner orter there''s no doubt that you''ll be a mother. It''s good for you to have some practice in advance, " answered Samuel. Samuel was then about to hang up and hold his wife and sleep; he had been expecting J''s anger. "I want to hit him!" said J. She then made a face towards her brother. "That''s your own brother, and if you can bear to hit him, then do as you like!" temporised Samuel. ... ''Right, that''s my own brother, and he always calls me sister in a lovely way. How would it ever be possible for me to hit him, '' thought J. She then replied, "Well, just forget about this phone call please." J then yawned. She thought that John was only a wimpy kid, and of course she absolutely had the ability to control him. But she was really sleepy now, and when she ended her phone call, she called in butler Park again. Park had already bought the toys, and while J pointed to John, she instructed Park, "Please ask two of the housemaids to y with him; I want to have some more sleep." Park then held John in his arms, and askedJ, "Miss J, the chef is already preparing the dinner, and if you''re in need of anything, please don''t hesitate in calling me at any time." She shook her head, and said, "No, nothing else, that''ll be all. I''m sleeping for a little while longer; please just leave me alone. And feed John dinner first,ter." Butler Park then left the bedroom, holding John in his arms. Holding the thin quilt over her, J quickly fell asleep again. Soon enough, J fell into a dream in which she went fishing with Daniel. In her dream J had caught a huge fish, but the fish''s mouth was biting on her lips all of a sudden. She felt so disgusted that she kept wiping her lips and said, "It tastes fishy, don''t kiss me!" At that moment, Daniel was looking at her movements, wearing an embarrassed look. ''I haven''t eaten any fishy food today, '' he thought. But still, he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. When he came back to bed, J was still in her dream, sound asleep. He pressed on the woman, and went on to kiss on her lips. "Jane, dinner''s ready, " he said. But J was still in her dream, in which she had caught another huge fish that again kissed her lips. J struggled and pushed away the big fish, yelling, "No, don''t kiss me! It''s fishy... And don''t press on me, or I''ll scrape your fish scales off!" ''Fish scales?'' wondered Daniel. His face darkened when he stared at the woman with her eyes closed, and immediately guessed that she might be having a dream... "Jane, " he called her name again. Then he dragged her body next to him, and ced her in his arms. "Um?" When J began to open her eyes, she saw in a daze Daniel''s blurred figure. Half-asleep, she asked, "Are you a fish or a human being? Or are you a... mermaid?" ''I''m a mermaid?'' Daniel''s face darkened again when she mistook him as being a fish, or even a mermaid. Without any sort of pity, he bit on her ear, which sent J a shiver that awakened her in an instant. "Hey, it''s you Daniel! You''vee back home! Let''s sleep!" said J. "OK!" The man gave her a straight answer and then ced her back under the nket, pressing on her and biting on her body. ''Didn''t he say that we''ll go to sleep together?'' thought J. "Stop, stop! Daniel, stop now!" demanded J. "Didn''t you invite me just now?" asked Daniel. He kept his moves on J. This time, J waspletely awake, and she caught hold of his restless palm. "Didn''t you say that dinner is ready? Come, let''s go downstairs and have our meal, " she said. "No, I don''t need any dinner. I''ll be feasting on you, " said Daniel. "No, don''t bite me... I need to go and eat, " demanded J. The bedroom was suddenly filled with a charming love aura. But, right at that moment, some footsteps were heard, and the door was opened. "Brother, I''ve finished assembling my toys, " said John. He had pushed open the door and crawled up to the bed. Lifting the transformer toy in his hands, he looked curiously at the two adults together in bed, and asked, "Brother, why are you pressing on my sister like that?" Daniel then leaned himself on J for some moments without moving an inch. J was tittering, and as she pushed him away, she exined to her brother, "Daniel is sick, and you need to let him lie here for a while so he can be fine!" She then got out of bed and entered the bathroom to wash her face. She could hear John''s talking, who now leaned on Daniel. "Brother, my mom said that if you''re sick, you need to take some pills, " said John. "Yes, of course I will, " replied Daniel. "Brother, get up now. Let me take you to the hospital and see a doctor!" John put aside his transformer toy and attempted to drag Daniel by the hand. Daniel closed his eyes tight, but he still hadn''t calmed down. "No, I don''t need a doctor." "Oh, brother. What''s so hard and bulging here? Can I touch it?" asked John. "..." While she was brushing her teeth, J thought better and realised what they were talking about. She then burst intoughter. "J, just finish washing. I''m going downstairs with John, " said Daniel. He stood up from the bed with a stern face and then went out of the bedroom, holding the curious John in one of his arms. On the ground floor, some of the housemaids were cing the dishes on the dinner table. Daniel and John had whispered to each other while they were on their way downstairs. John nodded his head, and seemed to have a hazy understanding of Daniel''s exnations, while he sat back at his table seat. When the housemaids saw Je down, they all greeted her, and J smiled back at them. She then sat opposite to Daniel. "John,e here and sit next to me, " asked J. But John shook his head, and drew even closer to Daniel, and said, "I like brother better." John now looked upon Daniel as being his idol, thinking that he was truly great. "I''m your sister!" J protested to John. "I know! My sister!" ... All of the dishes were now ced on the table, and a housemaid began to pick some food to John''s te. There were some dishes specially cooked for John, like the cheese corn, the vegetable soup, the dumplings and also the lettuce and shrimp porridge. Chapter 141 Keep a Distance from Him from Now on Chapter 141 Keep a Distance from Him from Now on Daniel picked up some Australian fried beefsteaks onto an empty clean te and then asked one of the housemaids to ce it in front of J. John learned from Daniel, and he picked up a dumpling to a te with his spoon and then passed it to J. J looked at her brother with a smiling face. She praised John, and said, "Good boy!" Hearing her praising to John, Daniel raised his eyelids, and looked at J with a meaningful look in his eyes. ''Why is she treating us differently? I''ll have to askter, '' he thought. After their dinner, Daniel took J and John for a walk nearby. But when they went out the door, J''s phone rang, and she saw that the call wasing from Ferris Xiao. "Hello, Mr. Xiao, " answered J. The name she called caught Daniel''s attention, who was holding John''s little hand. Ferris said something to her over the phone and J grinned an embarrassed smile. She replied, "I''m sorry, but I''m not at home right now. Maybe on some other day!" "No, I''ve got a boyfriend, " said J. The man on the other side of the line was asking whether J was willing to be his girlfriend, but J refused him straightforward. And Daniel was very satisfied with her reply. "Yes. Mr. Xiao. At the moment I''m kind of busy, but let''s talk again some timeter, " she said. She then hastily hung up the phone. When she ced her phone back in her pocket, Daniel reminded her, "Ferris Xiao is well known as being a very mean guy in the business circles. He''s not reliable, keep a distance from him from now on." "What? He''s not that bad. He treated me with a mealst time!" replied J. ''But I was a bit disappointed that he didn''t let me order a bottle of red wine.'' Daniel then threw a nce at her, and spoke in a discontented voice, "That was my treat!" ''What?'' J was perplexed, and while looking at Daniel, she thought, ''Was the dinner I had with Ferris also paid by Daniel?'' Daniel nodded to her and confirmed her thoughts exactly. ''Well! I''ve never met such a mean man ever before, '' thought J. In the small garden, only a few people were present there. Daniel and J were each holding one of John''s hands as they strolled around in the garden. "I''m kind of busy for the next couple of days, and I can''te with you. What are you going to do tomorrow?" asked Daniel. He had a lot of business affairs to handle, as hispany was in a tough period of job transferring as well as in the economical boom season. The free time he had with J had been squeezed in his agenda by his efforts. "It doesn''t matter. Just leave me alone and go ahead with your work. I''ll take John to y around tomorrow, " answered J. She didn''t want to dy his work in any sort of way. When John saw a little girl with ck long hair, he got free of their hands and ran towards the girl. Daniel continued his conversation with J, and said, "Then I''ll ask Park to arrange for more bodyguards, and for two more housemaids to take care of John. You just have a good time." Holding her shoulder, Daniel and J were looking at John, who was trying to talk and get close with the girl. "OK, " answered J. She then rested her head on his shoulder. John only could speak a little Chinese, and after he greeted the little girl, he wasn''t able to understand more of what she said. He turned to them for help, wearing a helpless look in his eyes. J tittered, and while she was dragging Daniel by his hand, she walked up to John, and asked, "What do you want to tell her?" She acted as his interpreter now. John gave a shy nce at the little girl. He then said, "I wanted to tell her that she''s very beautiful, and if she can be my girlfriend." ... "No way!" J herself straightly refused her brother. Then she told the little girl in Chinese, "He wants to make friends with you. Can he?" The little girl nodded her head, and said, "Yes. I''m four years old, how old is he?" John could understand this question, so he instantly answered, "I''m almost three years old!" His anxious look made the adults burst intoughter. The little girl seemed to be not quite enthusiastic about John, but instead she was inclined to talk with Daniel. John became very anxious when he saw this, so he pulled away Daniel, and stood in front of the girl. He asked, "We''re leaving, could you leave your phone number to me?" J felt speechless, and she tranted this question to the girl, but the girl shook her head with a no. In the end, John was crying when they went away. Daniel then bought him a remote controlled car, which finally stopped his tears. When they came back to the mansion, J asionally saw a woman dragging a luggage case and leaving through the back door. She asked Daniel curiously, "Who''s that?" While they kept walking into the mansion, there was a sh of anger in Daniel''s eyes. "That''s the housemaid called Mary, " he answered. ''Mary? Isn''t she the housemaid who didn''t allow me to touch Daniel''s things earlier today?'' wondered J. "Is she leaving?" "Yes." "Did she ask to leave?" J continued asking Daniel. "No. I fired her, " he said. He gave her a simple answer when he was passing his coat to the housemaid standing next to him. "Why?" J turned around and asked him to give him details. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "She didn''t respect you, so why should I still keep her?" said Daniel. Park had already reported to Daniel about what had happened earlier in the daytime. J then understood the situation. But she didn''t think it was necessary to fire her, so she said, "I think she was just doing her job and was afraid that you would get angry, so she said something more to make sure things were alright." "I''ve asked Park to tell everybody that you''re the chatine here." ''You have the right to choose anything here in the mansion, not to say you''re just using it, '' thought Daniel. J dragged him over to her and whispered to his ear, "I''m not yet, and we''re not married. I''m not legally considered as your wife." The man smiled, and then said, "If I say that you are, then you are!" ... J was left speechless. Sasha went up to them, and spoke with great respect, "Young master and Miss J, little John''s upstairs room has been tidied up and is ready for use." "OK, ask two people to take turns to look after John. If anything ever happens, inform me at once." After his cold orders, Daniel then handed John to Sasha and asked her to help John bathe. "Yes, young master, " said Sasha. When Daniel and J sat down in the living room, a housemaid brought a bowl of soup, and while putting it on the table, she said, "Lady J, the bird''s nest soup with lotus seeds is finished. Do you want to eat it now?" J curiously looked at Daniel, and he exined, "It''s my mother''s order. My father had bought a batch of first-rate bird''s nests in Mysia for my mother, and she had made sure to leave some for you too." ''Oh!'' J felt warm in her heart, and said, "Then I''m drinking it now!" Daniel watched her finish the bowl of bird-nest soup, and asked, "What do you think about it? Is it good?" "It tastes quite good!" she answered. Her mother had also cooked some bird-nest soup for her from time to time because her tummy always hurt during her period. But she stopped drinking it when it wasn''t that effective anymore. Daniel took a tissue out and wiped her mouth, and then he held her hand and walked upstairs. "Where are father* and mother* now?" asked J. ''They are just like my own father and mother, always roaming about in the world. It''s hard to know of their present whereabouts. Luckily for us, we now have advancedmunication tools nowadays, and a phone call or an on-line message can get us instantly connected to each other. If we were living in ancient times, it would''ve been really hard to contact them, '' thought J. "Mando Bay." Daniel told her of a ce with which J wasn''t familiar with. "Where''s Mando Bay located? And why are they staying there?" asked J. "Uncle Joey''s son is getting an engagement, so they went there to attend to it, " said Daniel. Joey had settled down in Mando Bay over the past few years, and Daniel had seldom seen him around. J nodded. When they entered the bedroom, they could hear theughtering from the room next to theirs. J said, "I want to take a look on John." Then she freed herself of Daniel''s hand. Chapter 142 I Can Chase after Them Chapter 142 I Can Chase after Them Daniel and J went inside John''s bathroom. When he saw J, John, who was standing in the bathroom, immediately covered the intimate part of his body. J was very surprised, and pointed at the two maids beside her, asking, "You''re just a kid but you already feel bashful. These two are also sisters, but why aren''t you shy in front of them?" "They are different from you. I can chase after them, but I can''t chase after you, " replied John. ... ''Does John share amon character with Samuel?'' wondered J. To get her answer, she had to ask E. J couldn''t stand him anymore! She dragged Daniel by the arm, who looked very happy, and left the bathroom. "Be nice and I will take you out tomorrow!" she said. "Okay. You can also take me to meet some girls." John replied to her while he stooped in the tub again. When J looked back at him, he immediately sat back down in the bath. J then waved her clenched fist in front of him, and angrily warned him, "Shut up!" Daniel then wrapped her fist in hisrge palm, and said to him, "John, be obedient, and girls will like you if you''re well-behaved." John, who seemed to understand Daniel''s words, nodded and blew a kiss to Daniel and J, saying, "Brother and sister, good night!" "Good night!" Daniel closed the bathroom''s door and returned with J to their bedroom. When they had just entered it, Daniel pressed J against the wall and passionately kissed her lips. What was going on? J, who was stunned, looked at Daniel in front of her and thought that he had been normal a minute ago, but now... Daniel put his hands on her slender waist and gently spoke out her name in her ear. "Jane..." When she heard him calling her name, she thought that his voice was very deep and attractive. It had even made her legs loose. "Jane, do you think that we should get married first and then have a baby? Or do you think we should have a baby first and then get married?" asked Daniel. He then took off her coat and threw it on the sofa on the far side of the room. He, of course, wanted to marry his beloved woman first and then have a baby. But Jane didn''t want to be married, and this annoyed him. After staying with John over thesest couple of days, he couldn''t wait to have his own baby with J. "Um... Get married first, " replied J. Daniel then kissed her neck and J''s mind suddenly went nk. "Well, I will visit father* after we return to C Country then, " said Daniel. He finally stopped kissing her, and Daniel clung tight to her body, with his hands constantly keeping busy. The words "visit father*" shocked J. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. She then put her hands on Daniel''s chest, and asked him, "Did you break up with Kate?" Daniel, while he was kissing her lips, took out his phone from his pocket and searched for a live online telecast. He yed the middle section of the live telecast, and J heard the journalist saying, "... Miss Song, is something good going to happen between Mr. Si and you?" "No. Due to all kinds of reasons, and also because my character is not suitable to his, I have broken up with Mr. Si, " replied Kate. When he heard Kate''s words, Daniel locked the phone and continued to be absorbed in what he was doing at the time. ... J then sweetly smiled and put her arms around Daniel''s neck. There were still many things that Daniel hadn''t told J yet, such as that reporter who quarreled with J before. He had figured out that the reporter had been hired by Kate. Daniel had already asked people to put the reporter behind bars in prison. As for Kate, he had just withdrawn all of his investments from herpany because, after all, she had actually taken a bullet for him. And he also didn''t do anything bad to herpany, but without the SL Group''s investments, it was unlikely that the Changsheng Group would survive... Daniel, with J still in his arms, took her to the sofa and pressed on her body. And when J''s phone rang, both of them chose to ignore it. When it rang a third time, J pushed Daniel, who was on her body, aside. Daniel then took out the phone from her coat. It was Shirley who had called her... J pressed Daniel''s hand, and said, "Wait a minute. I need to answer the phone." After she cleared her throat, J slid the answer button, and answered, "Shirley." "J, I want to tell you of the good news. The Director of Personnel at the SL Group called me and informed me that I can start work on Monday!" She was so excited that she even screamed on the other end of the line. J resisted Daniel when he kept pressing hard on her, and tried to make her voice sound normal. She said, "Congrattions! My dear Shirley... Well..." "J, what''s wrong with you?" asked Shirley. She wondered why J''s voice sounded so strange, as if she was ufortable. "I''m fine, Shirley. There''s just something... Later I''ll... Well, I''ll contact you on Wechat!" replied J. ''Daniel Si, you''re such a damned man!'' she thought with rage. She then tightly bit Daniel''s arm. "OK, but are you really fine? J?" Shirley was worried about J and asked her again. But, the sounds which came from the other side of the line made Shirley first blushed and then turn pale. "Shirley, I''m busy right now. I''ll call youter!" said J. She then quickly hung up the phone, but before she put down her phone, Daniel had begun to kiss her lips, neck... Shirley, in C Country, was stunned and stared at her phone. She was joyful because the SL Group had employed her, but now all of her delight had suddenly disappeared. She had some experience herself, and of course she knew what had happened to J. And ording to J''s character, the man could''ve only been Daniel... Shirley, who was almost suffocating, felt it difficult to breathe, and felt very sad... She tightly held her phone, and told herself, ''Shirley! Daniel is J''s man, so you can''t love him!'' But this seemed to not be working, and she was still in pain. When she gawked at the apartment that J had rented for her, Shirley struggled in her painful feelings. In America To Daniel''s disappointment, J''s period came on their third day after arriving in America. When he looked at J, who weaklyid on the bed, Daniel asked the servant to prepare some brown sugar water and also to work out a way to relieve her pain. "Leave me alone. I just don''t feel well today; I will be all right tomorrow. You need to go to work now, " said J. She looked a bit pale, and Daniel held her hands. She was not that effeminate and weak, and she had already been used to this kind of pain before. Daniel, who had just returned to the vi from hispany in a hurry, took the hot-water bag that the maidservant brought and helped J put it on her lower abdomen. "I called my mother on my way back here and she told me that she also was in pain, but that she got rid of it after giving birth to Sally and me. So..." said Daniel. He suddenly got closer to her. There was a slight flush on J''s pale face. "Who told you to call mother*?" J was really painful, and if he didn''te back to check on her, he couldn''t be in the mood to work at all. "I asked her because I have no idea of this and, after all, she has already gone through something like this before." Daniel tly replied to her and then gently kissed her on the forehead. "Um, you should go to thepany now. I will be fine after I get some sleep!" said J. She withdrew her hands and didn''t want to dy his work because of her. There was a client that was waiting for him in hispany. After Daniel looked at J''s pale face, he took out his phone and called Spark. "Take Mr. Smith to the vi." "Right. You should also bring all contracts and materials, " replied Daniel. Chapter 143 The Man in Camouflage Clothing Was Exactly Brian Chapter 143 The Man in Camouge Clothing Was Exactly Brian After Daniel hung up, J felt dissatisfied and pouted. "I told you that I''m fine. Why don''t you never listen to me?" she said. He had even asked her to be obedient to him, and she thought that it was unfair to her! "I''m worried about you!" After Daniel uttered these words, J was so moved that her eyes were starting to get red. She didn''t argue with him any longer, and said, "I''m going to get some sleep now." "Um, " replied Daniel. To let J sleep in peace, Daniel had asked the maids and some of the bodyguards to take John to the amusement park. E knew that her daughter was having her period, so she called Jane in the evening. Daniel answered the phone and told E that Jane was sleeping. E asked him when they would return home and if John needed to be sent back first. "No, mother*. You can rx and have a good time with father*. John is fine here and we will send him back the moment he wants to go back, " replied Daniel. If John was unwilling to go back, he could stay here with them all the time, and Daniel could take good care of him. John had stayed with J for thest couple of days, happily ying in the vi. "Well, Daniel, you take good care of Jane, and also don''t forget that your marriage needs to be arranged soon. Otherwise, the others will talk behind her back." All of what E spoke to Daniel was in ord with what Samuel had told her. "I know, mother*, don''t worry. After I return home, I will pay you a formal visit to you and father*, " said Daniel. J had already agreed to be with him, so he had to marry her as soon as possible. After he ended the call, Daniel looked at J, who was asleep. He then returned to his study and continued to discuss business with his client. Like J had predicted, on the second day of her period she felt much better, and she almost even recovered to her normal condition. She also took John to see the Statue of Liberty, and they yed all day long and had a good time. In the evening, J was holding John''s hand and were aimlessly wandering around on the streets. "Sister, I want to eat that!" said John. He pointed to a small shop not that far away from them. It was a shop where an olddy with grey hair was selling hot dogs. J took John to the shop, and she saw that there was a steamed bun shop near it, decorated with the Huaxia national g. When she saw the Huaxia national g, J smiled as if she had seen her own country. After she stopped for a little while, she kept on walking to the hot dog shop in front of them. But, all of a sudden, a man behind her irritably shouted, "What a rip off! This is all a lie! It tastes so bad! Why did you still put the Huaxia national g on the shop?" While uttering some swear words in English, the man threw the national g to the ground and trampled on it. The shop''s owner was a fat middle-aged man. He criticised the man in his broken English, "If the bun doesn''t taste good, why do you throw MY national g?" J turned her head around and saw that a man was pointing at the shop owner''s nose, shouting, "Who do you think you are, buddy? I''ve already trampled it and you can''t do a single thing to stop me! I''ll never travel to Huaxia!" After the shop owner picked up the red g from the ground, the man grabbed it from the shop owner''s hand, threw it on the ground and then stepped on it again. There were a lot of Huaxia citizens in America. A young man walked up to him, and said, "Why are you trampling on our national g like that? You went too far!" But then, the man waved at several men not that far away from him. Then, five men came over to his aid. They stood in front of the shop owner and the young man with hateful faces, raising their fists in the air. The young man gritted his teeth and didn''t utter any words. He regretted that he wasn''t good at martial arts, and that he couldn''t deal with them properly. The shop owner was so angry that his face flushed a bright red, but he had to stop arguing with him because the man had also called over his friends. "Sister, it''s wrong of them to do that!" said John. He pointed at that national g and frowned. Even a child knew that what they were was wrong. But why did these foreigners throw and tread on the g? Did they do that just because they weren''t in Huaxia now? After J asked the two maids behind her to take care of John, she walked up to the man, who was just about to leave, and stopped him. When he saw the beautifuldy in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up and greeted J, "Hi, girl!" J pointed at the national g on the ground, and said, "Apologize! Now!" The man immediately changed the expression on his face, and furiously said, "Don''t meddle in my affairs, girl!" "I said apologize!" said J. She picked up the national g from the ground and waggled it in front him. Several other men immediately gathered around her, and threatened, "Woman, don''t be aggressive and arrogant!" "Come on. Come with me, I''ll take good care of you!" said another man. "Ha-ha. The girl is so beautiful and attractive!" ... J was so angry that her face flushed. She passed the national g to the shop''s owner, but he drew her aside, and said, "Don''t argue with them, you''ll get yourself into trouble!" "Don''t worry, it will be all right!" said J. J drew her sleeve away from the shop owner''s grasp and then returned to the man again. She then rolled up her sleeves and grasped the one who trod on the national g earlier. "I''m gonna say it for thest time: apologize!" she shouted. "Damn, you''re a crazy bitch!" There were more and more people surrounding them. Having been treated this way by a woman, the man swore and cursed at J. He raised his hand and was just about to p J over the face. Before he hit her, J, who exerted all of her strength, quickly lifted him over her back and threw him on the ground! She then stomped on his chest with her right foot, and shouted, "Apologize!" The man was still swearing, and J understoodpletely what he said. Then, the other men besieged her, and were about to teach her a lesson. J quickly dodged one man''s fist and then jumped to the right side of the man who was lying on the ground. She then stretched one of her legs and kicked the man who was closest to her in the stomach. The three bodyguards who were following J immediately came over to her aid and began to teach the men a lesson well deserved. During the fight, J''s hands were held by one of the men and were pulled behind her. When J became anxious, a figure suddenly rushed over to her help and kicked the man away from her. J looked at him and found that the man, dressed in camouge clothing, was actually Brian. Brian and J looked each other in the eye and smiled. He also didn''t expect that he coulde across J here. After J''s short excitement from seeing Brian again, the man who had been just kicked by Brian stood up from the ground and raised his hands behind him. "Brian, watch out! He''s behind you!" shouted J. Brian immediately stretched out his right elbow and heavily hit the chest of the man behind him. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and almost knelt on the ground. The bodyguards that Daniel had dispatched to protect J were also very great. They were not J sought after the man who had trod on the g earlier, and found that one of his wrists had been broken by one of the bodyguards. She walked up to him, grasped him by his cor, and pointed towards the shop owner who had freezed on the spot. "Apologize!" she shouted. The man wanted to struggle against her, but Brian quickly caught hold of him in two or three movements, and the man was finally forced to kneel on the ground. With a stern face, Brian took the national g and then put it in front of the man. "Apologize!" he shouted. At that moment, the man clearly saw Brian''s military uniform, and guessed that he must be a powerful man. So he eventually said, "Sorry." When she saw his attitude, J was so angry that she wanted to beat him to a pulp. She then tapped Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. him on the head, and said, "Fix your attitude, and be more sincere!" Chapter 144 Youre Calling Him in Such an Intimate Tone Chapter 144 You''re Calling Him in Such an Intimate Tone The man was the leader of a group of gangsters, and he had never been humiliated like this in his life. He closed his mouth and didn''t utter another single word. When J came up to him and dragged him by his cor, two ck Maybach cars stopped right behind the crowd of curious onlookers. "Please get out of the way, " said one of the bodyguards. Some other bodyguards got out of the cars and stood in two rows, which attracted a lot of people''s attention. The backseat door was then opened, and a man dressed in a ck British-style coat, and wearing a pair of expensive hand-made Italian leather shoes, got out of the car. He gracefully walked towards the group of people. As soon as Daniel received the phone call from one of the maids, he immediately rushed there. When he got out of the car, he saw that J was dragging a man''s shirt cor, while wearing an angry expression on her red, flushed face. Then he caught sight of Brian, who was standing beside her, and he slightly frowned his eyebrows. "What''s going on here?" Daniel pulled J into his arms, and asked the bodyguard with a cold, stern voice. The bodyguard gave him a brief exnation about what had happened. Daniel looked at the national g, and ordered the bodyguards behind him, "Punch them until they''re willing to apologize." There were about seven or eight bodyguards there, and Daniel was emanating a cold and powerful aura, which really frightened the gangsters. They were very scared of him, and apologized immediately. Daniel didn''t show any care to their apologies. He threw a nce at the maids and indicated them to first take John back to the car. When hysterical screaming sounds were hearding from the gangsters, some of the Huaxia people in the crowd began cheering for them. Daniel caressed on the woman''s frowned eyebrows with his big palm, and he changed his cold voice to a tender one, saying, "Have you been injured?" "No, I''m quite well, thanks to Brian; he''s the one that saved me!" said J. She pointed at Brian, who was standing near, at a short distance from them. Brian was focusing on what was happening on J''s side, when he suddenly met eyes with Daniel. They nodded to each other, without uttering a single word. Then there was the cracking sounds of bones and screaminging again. After that, Daniel finally ordered the bodyguards to stop punching them. The men, who had been punched pretty hard, were now all wearing miserable looks on their faces, and before Daniel could speak another word, they immediately apologized to the national g. They also apologized to the shop''s owner as well. Then they heard the wailing sounds of the police cars'' sirens But J got free of Daniel''s hand and ran up to Brian. "Brian, thank you very much! Why are you here?" asked J. "I''m on mission here. I''ve been here for half a month already, " replied Brian. He tried to control his distressed feelings, and looked her in the eyes. Daniel got in the car first, and he would only give one minute''s time to J. When the time was up, he shouted, "J!" The man''s voice came sounding out of the car. J had to hastily say good-bye to Brian. "Brian, I''m leaving now, but let''s meet again when you''re free!" said J. Brian waved to her and saw her get in the car. He then slowly went away too. One bodyguard was left at the spot to deal with what happened next, and all the other people went away. And also all the onlookers dropped away, being afraid of getting involved in any trouble. That group of men were all taken away by the police, and were used of viting a national g. As soon as they returned to the mansion, J was taken to the second floor by Daniel. Looking at his big palm, which was gripping tight on her wrist, J asked, "Daniel, what''s wrong with you?" "When did Briane to America?" asked Daniel angrily. He then mmed shut the bedroom''s door. J was startled by the door''s loud sound. She remembered Brian''s words, and honestly replied to Daniel, "Half a month ago." The man turned around and stared at her. "Did you know that he had alreadye to America?" asked Daniel. J felt speechless, and said, "No, I didn''t know. And I haven''t contacted him either." "Really?" Obviously, the man didn''t believe her. Facing the man''s unountable anger, J got furious too, and said, "I didn''t know he is here! If you don''t trust me, just leave me alone, and don''t ask me anything!" "Fine, then don''t ever meet with Brian from now on!" yelled Daniel. ''Brian! You''re calling him in such an intimate tone! That''s a habit! A very bad habit! I have to make you change that habit!'' thought Daniel. J furiously stared at him, and yelled, "I''m not meeting with him on purpose!" ''We just happened to meet each other. Is that my fault?'' thought J. Daniel insisted. "Evidence?" The woman was really angry now, and the man became to soften his voice a little. "Evidence for what?" asked J. "I mean, do you have any evidence to prove that you haven''t met with Brian on purpose?" ... J''s beautiful eyes were now burning with rage. "Okay, Okay, you''re right! We''ve arranged beforehand to meet in America! What do you think? Daniel, you stupid bastard! Don''t you remember you were the one that insisted on me toe here in the first ce?" J answered him back in an even louder voice. She pushed Daniel away and then went to the balcony. She didn''t want to see Daniel because she really wanted to punch him in the face. Daniel then lowered his head, touching his forehead with his palm. He was calmer now, and thought to himself, ''Why am I so diposed when I bring up J''s affairs? She''s right! I''m the one who asked her to follow me here. How could I ever suspect that she has contacted Brian?'' Daniel took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Then he walked towards the balcony. He held on J''s slim waist from her back, and he apologized to her. "Jane, I''m sorry." J rudely pulled off his palms from her, and yelled, "Don''t touch me! I want to go back home!" She then ran back to the bedroom and started to pack her bags. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. Daniel caught her by the wrist and held her tight into his arms. "Come on, it''s all my fault, I''m sorry, " he said. His voice was very soft and tender, which made J''s heart soften too. She felt aggrieved, and her eyes filled with tears. She said, "You don''t trust me!" "Yes, I do trust you! I''m sorry, Jane." Daniel realized that he had been too impulsive earlier, and he thought it was all because of Brian. Every time when he saw J together with him, he would totally lose all of his calm and senses. Hearing him apologize again and again, J held on to his waist. Daniel then kissed her on her forehead, and said, "Good, now please go to bed. I still need to go back to thepany." When Daniel had heard that J was in danger, he immediately left thepany, leaving Colin alone. He now had to go back and handle the unfinished work. "Okay. How about Ie with you?" asked J. J leaned herself against his chest, feeling her heart ache. Daniel was so busy that he was working for almost twenty hours a day thesest couple of days. And on some nights he was even drunk, being driven back to the vi by Spark. "No, because I don''t know when I''ll finish work ande back. You should have an early good rest, " said Daniel. He would try his best toe back as soon as possible, because J was waiting for him. J nodded and stood on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. "Don''t burn out, " she reminded him. Daniel smiled, and gave her a deep kiss. Then, he left. At two o''clock in the morning, Daniel still hadn''te back home. J was so worried about him that she couldn''t sleep, but also didn''t dare to call him, afraid of interrupting his work. She wanted to go and see Daniel, but she didn''t know hispany''s address. The housemaids were all asleep at that time, and she also felt it wasn''t nice to wake them up at that hour of the night. J didn''t know what to do. In the end, she called her own brother and asked him for the address. Then she got out of bed and headed out to stop a taxi to go to thepany. In the SL Group Colin took out the final papers and put them in front of Daniel. He said, "This is thest contract, and it''s from the famouspany, Basharadi; its CEO is Louis Coy. Because in the project a huge fund was involved, they have insisted that they need to talk with you first. That''s why it''s not settled yet..." "Rat-a-tat." Someone knocked at the door. The knocking sound made Colin stop his words. They exchanged suspicious looks to one another, and wondered who was still in thepany sote at night besides them. Chapter 145 Jane Will Be Easily Offended by Their Presence Chapter 145 Jane Will Be Easily Offended by Their Presence Colin opened the door, and it was thepany''s security guard. "Mr. Li, there is a woman at the gate. She is saying that she is Mr. Si''s girlfriend and she insisted oning up..." Hearing this, Daniel immediately stood up from the sofa. There was a woman behind the bodyguard, dressed in a ck, loose coat. J instantly saw Daniel in the office, and she smiled at him. Then she looked at Colin, who was standing at the door, surprised. J thought that she might have interrupted their work... What she didn''t know was that her smile had been deeply imprinted on Daniel''s mind. He dragged J into the office. He frowned, and scolded her as if she were a child, "It''ste. Why didn''t you go to sleep yet? Didn''t I tell you that you don''t have to wait for me? Did youe here alone? Where is the bodyguard? Actually, how did youe here? Are you cold?" Seeing what was happening, Colin waved at the security guard to let him leave. Then he closed the door behind him. J sniffed, and said, "No, I''m not cold. It''s already three o''clock in the morning and you''re still not home yet. I can''t fall asleep without you." When she had left the house, she had totally forgotten about the bodyguard. She didn''t know whether the bodyguard had followed her or not. Daniel''s heart broke when he heard J''s words. "You''re an adult. Are you still afraid of sleeping alone?" Although Daniel was scolding her, his eyes were filled with affection. He took her to sit beside him on the sofa, and he held her cold hands. Colin felt envious on Daniel, and it wasn''t because he was rich. It was because Daniel was lucky to have such a wonderful woman, a woman who would get up in the middle of the night to go out and look for him just out of concern. "I must have interrupted your work. You go ahead and continue. If I have known that you were working now, I wouldn''t havee up..." J felt a little guilty when she looked at the files, which were spreading all over the desk. Daniel''s heart tensed at her words. J must have said it on purpose. What she said always made his heart ache... "Not at all, we''ve almost finished. Just wait for me a few minutes." Daniel released her hands and then took up the files and continued to discuss with Colin. After a few minutes passed, when J was chatting with Shirley on WeChat, Daniel and Colin began to pack up the files. "Let''s go, " said Daniel. J put her cellphone inside her bag and stood up from her seat, while Daniel Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. gently held on to her shoulder. Colin looked at them, and while smiling, he said, "Drive careful on your way back home." "Okay. Brother, have a good rest." It was toote, and Colin didn''t want to leave thepany. He thought that he could sleep in the CEO lounge. "Goodbye!" J politely waved at Colin. "Goodbye. Just go home!" he said. Colin apanied them to the elevator and then returned to the lounge. In the elevator, Daniel pressed the button for the parking lot. While the elevator was descending, he leaned on J and kissed her. J wasn''t expecting his move. She bumbled when he came towards her and she almost fell. Thanks to the elevator''s pboard behind her, and Daniel''s firm grip, J didn''t fall down. In just a few seconds, J was almost choked by his kiss. Daniel was too aggressive, and she could hardly breathe. When the door of the elevator opened, Daniel held J in his arms and walked with her towards his car. When they arrived at the Maybach, Daniel didn''t have the slightest intention to put J down. He ced her in the passenger''s seat and fastened the safety belt for her. He then started the engine. "You are not allowed toe to see me sote next time." With J around, Daniel would try his best to finish his work during the day. J stuck out her tongue in a cute way, and her expression looked very seductive to Daniel. He stepped away from the throttle and leaned closer to her. He held her head and kissed her, totally immersed in her taste and scent. "You should feel lucky that you have your lucky charm to protect you, or I would''ve certainly had sex with you right here." Daniel held her tight while J was slightly gasping in his arms. Daniel was such a rogue, and J pushed him away. Her face blushed, and she asked him, "Don''t you feel sleepy at all? I want to go back home!" Home - this word made Daniel feel warm in his heart. He smiled and drove the car out of the underground parking lot. The following day, while J was still sound sleep, two people came to the mansion. Daniel, who was just about to go to thepany, was sitting on the sofa. "Where''s Jane?" Asked the woman eagerly. Daniel pointed with his sight upstairs. The woman put down the ss of water, handed to her by the maid, and was just about to go upstairs, but she was interrupted. "Mom, she fell asleeptest night. Let her get some more sleep." He didn''t mean anything bad or odd by saying this. But L was thinking about something else. She snickered, and she pretended to look serious, and exhorted onto him, "Young people should be abstemious, you know." Daniel realized that she must have misunderstood him. He didn''t exin, but instead asked her, "Why didn''t you call before you came?" "We were just passing by." L had replied to his son absent-mindedly. She was only thinking about him and J. "It''s such a big coincidence that you''re just passing by here." She was travelling from Mando Bay to C Country. How could she have passed A Country on her way? Harry then nced at the the maids inside the house. They were busy working around the house, and hemented, "Wow, you have a lot of girls here." Harry wondered if Daniel realized that this aspect would easily offend J, now that they were together. Daniel followed Harry''s sight and looked at the maids. He took a sip out of his red tea cup, and said tly, "Jane doesn''t mind them at all. What are you thinking about?" Recently, Jane had actually been getting along quite well with everyone in the house. "Daniel, what are you thinking? You are already living with Jane. Do you want to be an irresponsible man?" L suddenly became very angry, and she stared at her son. Daniel said, "You are thinking too much. After Nicole''s wedding is over, we will go to Jane''s house together to meet her parents." Nicole would hold her wedding ceremony with Sven in ten days in C Country. After that, Jane''s birthday was approaching, and Daniel nned to go to her house to celebrate her birthday and also announce their engagement. He had nned it all beforehand. L sighed with relief when he heard that Daniel had already promised to go to Jane''s home. She was very happy, and she asked, "Where''s John?" "In the backyard garden." Near the back gate of the yard, there was a house, with a girl was living inside it, and John often went to the house to y along with the girl. "How do you feel taking care of a child?" L looked at the maids inside the mansion, and she thought that she had asked a nonsensical question. Daniel nodded, and replied, "It''s okay. Me and Jane will also have a child soon after we get married." "That''s good. Your father and I are very supportive of this idea." L was very satisfied. If she had grandchildren, she wouldn''t have to worry so much about Daniel anymore, and she could also stay longer in C Country. "Okay. I need to go to thepany now." Daniel stood up and was just about ready to leave. "Daniel, I really think that you don''t need all of these maids. Jane will be easily offended by their presence, " suggested L. She thought that it was necessary to get rid of the maids. There would certainly be trouble with so many women in the house. Maybe it was very peaceful now, but things would certainly change with the passing of time. But she didn''t expect any unhappy incidents to happen before J and Daniel got married. "Whatever. You can go and talk with butler Park about this. I''m okay with anything." Daniel followed L''s suggestion, because he thought that she was saying this only for the sake of happiness between him and Jane. Jane woke up, and when she looked at the time, it was already noon. She got up from bed, still feeling drowsy. She went into the bathroom and began to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she climbed down the stairs, she was still yawning. But when she saw L in the hall, she immediately became wide awake. Chapter 146 The Si Family Carried the Twin Gene Chapter 146 The Si Family Carried the Twin Gene ''Is that mother*?'' wondered J. She looked carefully at her, and found that the woman was, indeed, L! "Mother*!" shouted J. She happily ran downstairs to the dining room. When she heard J, L was also very happy. While seeing J run to her, L stretched out her arms to wrap them around J in a warm hug. "Jane, tell me, aren''t you surprised?" asked L. "Um. I''m really surprised, and also d to see you!" replied J. They hugged each other tightly. After they finished greeting each other, J asked, "Didn''t father*e with you?" She was confused, because Harry was always with L, wherever he went. "Jane!" There was a slightly solemn voiceing from the living room, and J grinned and walked towards it. She saw Harry sitting on the sofa, and said, "Father*!" After J greeted Harry, she sat beside him on the sofa. "Um, Jane, does Daniel still bully you these days?" asked Harry. He put down the newspaper he was reading and looked at J with affection drawn all over his face. "No. He is really nice to me now!" J immediately replied to Harry in a firm tone. Her father was as serious as Daniel was but, of course, like father, like son! "Well, that''s great. If Daniel ever bullies you again, you can tell L and she will help you punish him, " said Harry. L then came out of the dining room, and walked towards them and sat down beside Jane on the sofa. J smiled sweet at her and held L''s arms. "Sure! Mother*, have you dealt with everything back at Mando Bay?" she said. "Um, yes, I''ve done everything. Jane, listen to me! You''re the only daughter-inw in my heart, and you should marry Daniel as soon as possible. Please do this so I can feel finally relieved!" said L. She patted J on the back of her hand, and thought that if Daniel and J somehow didn''t get married, she would never feel relieved ever again. J, who was a little shy, lowered her head, and said, "That''s fine with me. If Daniel and my mother and father reach an agreement, I will marry him." After she hade to America, J only cared about Daniel. She didn''t want to get married to him before, but now she was actually looking forward to marry Daniel. "Daniel has promised me that after Nicole and Sven''s wedding is over, he will discuss about your marriage with us. Jane, you should try your best to give birth to babies, so that I can have grandchildren to keep mepany when I''m old!" said L. The Si family carried the twin gene, so Jane was likely to be pregnant with twins as well. Their topic of discussion was suddenly changed to giving birth to children, which stunned J for a while. "Where''s John?" She asked looking a little shy, and silly. "He was here just a moment ago. After he yed for a while, he went to the back garden again, and is ying there now. I''ve asked the servant to ask him to have lunch with us, " replied L. She thought that E was so brave that she had bore Samuel another son at her age. Before the chef had prepared lunch for them, Daniel had also came back home from hispany. During lunch, the vibe around them was really nice because both Jane and John were there. When L looked at Daniel, who was personally helping Jane shell the crabs, she sighed when she realized how time flies. She remembered that Harry had also helped her and Nicole shell the crabs before! In the afternoon, Harry and Daniel went to thepany, while L took Jane and John to the shopping mall. When they were buying a silk scarf, L and J had a little argument. "Mother*, you''ve brought me a lot of nice stuff, but I''ve never had the chance to repay you for your kindness. Give me a chance to buy you this scarf this one time!" said J. She put L''s credit card back into her bag. But L took it out again, and said, "You''re still young, Jane. You can buy me a scarf after you gain some profit from your shop''s business." "Mother*, my shop has already made some profit and I''ve also saved a lot of money!" While uttering these words, J felt pleased, and pushed L''s card back in her bag. After she heard J''s words, L didn''t insist on using the credit card anymore. "Okay, Jane. You pay for the scarf this time, " she said. After they came out of the shop, L held J''s hand, and said, "I will go back home along with your father* tomorrow to prepare Nicole''s wedding. I will also help you look for a nice, suitable hotel to celebrate your engagement." J grinned, and said, "Mother*, you can find and choose the hotel by yourself. I''m okay with anything you''ll choose." When they passed a bedding shop, L held J by the hand and entered it. "Jane, do you like this kind of cloth or that kind for your four-piece bedding set? Except for pink, which other color do you like? I can buy you a few more sets, " asked L. "This kind of cloth is alright. And I''m not particrly picky about the color. If it looks nice, then it''s okay, " replied J. J was attracted to a bright red four-piece bedding set, which was also embroidered with an exquisite pattern. When she thought that the four-piece set will be on their bed on their wedding day, J''s face began to get hot and flush with shame. "Okay. Where do you want to live after you get married? Daniel has houses at The Royal Mansion Neighbourhood, Southern Garden Apartments, Waterfront Town, YD Mansion, and in another neighbourhood that I can''t remember its name, " asked L. "I would like to live at the No. 9 mansion!" replied J. This mansion was closer to her parents'' house. ... In the bustling shopping mall, J and L were happily talking about the future. They burst intoughter from time to time, and the people who didn''t know them were guessing that J was actually L''s biological daughter. At night, Harry and L slept in the bedroom diagonally across Daniel and J''s room. L had asked J to stay with her for an intimate talk, and after that, L asked Jane to go to bed. In the bedroom J''s period had almost ended. After she went to the bathroom and briefly took a shower, she went to check on John if he was asleep and then went to the study. "How long will your periodst?" asked Daniel. J walked up to Daniel and stood beside him. Daniel drew her close to him and let her sit on his leg. He smelt the light fragranceing from her, and asked, "Have you taken a shower?" "Um..." replied J. "So can we..." Daniel then buried his face in her neck. J shook her head, and said, "It isn''t over quite yet, but it will end very soon, " replied J. Daniel closed his eyes, disappointed. He could only hug her and couldn''t do anything else during her period, which made him feel very unpleasant. "I''ll finish my work right away. You can return to the bedroom and wait for me there, " said Daniel. If J had stayed with Daniel in the study, she would''ve distracted him from his work. It was better to leave him alone to deal with all of his work quickly. After J went back to the bedroom, she checked her phone and sent a message to Shirley on WeChat. Shirley had just started working at thepany, and the secretary, Miss Qin, who was working on the same floor as the CEO was, was teaching Shirley what the workflow was. When the secretary heard that Shirley''s phone rang, she cast a sideways nce at her and said, "Our CEO wille back in two days, and your phone must be set on silent mode. Since you are now working here, you should devote yourself to your work. We need to work hard for our CEO and make sure that everything is all right." "Um, okay. Thank you, " said Shirley. When she learned that Daniel woulde back in just two days, Shirley''s heart raced. She thought that after Daniel returned to thepany, she woulde into contact with him at close range every day. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. But, when she thought of J, who had just sent her a message via WeChat, Shirley became upset. She now had to put all of her muddled thoughts aside and devote herself to her work. She had to work harder and better than the others in order to gain Daniel''s trust and be in Daniel''s good graces. J thought that Shirley was busy working, so she sent a message via WeChat to E, saying, "Your son is eating well and is sleeping well. You and Samuel don''t have to worry about him." Chapter 147 He Was Ready to Run Away at Any Time Chapter 147 He Was Ready to Run Away at Any Time E quickly replied, "I''m not worried as long as Daniel is there!" ... J didn''t know what to say to that. She asked, "Where are you and dad now? Were you worried to leave John with a weak woman for half a month?" E refuted her without mercy, and replied, "How dare you say that you''re weak? Haven''t you practiced taekwondo before? We wille and pick up John the day after tomorrow." ''The day after tomorrow?'' J wondered. J had stayed in A Country for nearly ten days, but Daniel had nned to stay there for half a month and then go back. She said to her mother, "You don''t need toe here. We wille back soon." "Okay. Be good to Daniel, and don''t lose your temper when you are with him, okay?" J hastily replied, "Mom, you know thattely I''ve be more calmer." Her calmness was attributed to Daniel only. He was really good to her, and she couldn''t find any excuse to be angry with him anymore. She was very happy. But E didn''t believe her. She had raised her for over twenty years, and she had a pretty clear idea of her daughter''s temper. "Anyway, be good to Daniel. Where is John now?" When they were back at home, J and her brother would asionally quarrel. E thought that they must be getting along well now. "Oh, and speaking of John... Do you know that I''m more like his mother now than his sister? Did you know that? Now I can make form milk for him, bathe him, and I can even put his diaper on at night." J felt so proud of herself that she could take such good care of her brother. E thought for a while, and now that John had grown up, he wasn''t wetting the bed at night anymore. She said to J, "You don''t have to put diapers on him anymore at night." John could skip putting the diapers for now, because he was old enough to get rid of them. E was thinking of also helping him quit the milkpletely after a short period of time. "Okay." Guided by E''s instructions, J came to John''s room and took his diaper off of him. When she returned to her room, Daniel happened to being out of the study. He noticed that she wasn''t in the room, and he looked at her doubtful, and asked, "Where have you been?" J pointed at John''s room, and answered, "My mother asked me to take his diaper off." Then they entered the bedroom together, and Daniel held her in his arms and carried her to the bed. "Why are you holding me? I can walk fine by myself." But she didn''t take her hands away from holding his neck after Daniel put her down on the bed. Daniel just remained there bowing to her and staring at her steadily, while she was still clinging onto his neck. Then he lowered his head and kissed her lips. He then answered her, "I just wanted to hold you. There''s no particr reason why I did so. I''ll go and take a shower now." "Okay." L saw that Jane and Daniel got along pretty well with each other and felt relieved. She then returned to C Country with Harry. The following day, J took John to Chinatown. As soon as she got out of the car, the WeChat message app alerted her. It was Ferris. "J, are you busy now?" J had nned to ignore him, but then she thought that it was very impolite to do so. She replied, "Yes. What''s the matter?" "I''m handling some affairs in Green Cold Country now, and I''m short of money. Could you lend me one hundred thousand dors?" ... J kept her silence; she thought he had seriously crossed the line now. "Sorry, I''m abroad now. You can wait until Ie back." She didn''t think that she was that close to him to lend him so much money. So she refused him immediately. She was wondering why did he want to borrow money from her? A big boss like him wouldn''tck one hundred thousand... "Well, the case is very urgent here. Our client in Green Cold Country is in urgent need for the money, Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. and I really have no choice. You''re the only person that I could turn to. Can you help me, J? I will pay you back the money as soon as youe back to C Country!" J stared at her phone''s disy in disgust. How could he be so shameless? But she didn''t want to be bothered again, and it wasn''t that much of a sum. She cave in to him, and replied, "Send me your bank ount." She then transferred the money through her bank app at two intervals. "Thank you, J, I''ve received the money. No words can express my thanks to your great gratitude." After receiving this message, J turned off her phone and totally ignored him. She took John to the amusement park to y. After a while, her phone rang, and it was Ferris again. "Hello! What''s the matter?" She held John''s hands firmly and answered the call. Ferris faltered, "I''m so sorry, J, but the money was still not enough. Could you lend me some more? I guarantee to pay you back when youe back to the country." J was now utterly speechless. She was wondering why had she been introduced to this man in a blind date, and she swore that she would never attend a blind date ever again. "How much more do you want?" "About... two hundred thousand!" J only wanted to finish the conversation with him as soon as possible. So she answered him, "I see. Wait please." She then transferred the two hundred thousand at four intervals through her cellphone banking app. She had lent him three hundred thousand in total, and she was thinking how much money was now left in her ount. She calcted and thought that it was all fine. She had only lent him one fourth of her money to him. She didn''t care that much about money; she just let it pass by and continued to y around with John. She didn''t tell this to anyone because she thought it wasn''t necessary. Three hundred thousand was not that big of a deal for her. In the same day, at the SL Group Daniel picked up the calling from his secretary from C Country. She told him that Ferris''spany had been used of tax evasion and ounting fraud. Ferris had spent a lot of money to bribe the officials, but he failed to avoid the investigation of the rted department. "Have we signed the contract with him about the cooperative project yet?" Daniel asked her tly. What he mentioned was the cooperative project that he had talked about with Ferris when he had dinner with J. "We''re on thest procedure to sign the contract, but when Ferris got the news that hispany is being investigated, he was ready to run away at any time." "Since we haven''t signed the contract, leave it as it is. It doesn''t matter if we sign the contract anymore." Ferris was not only very mean, but also a very bad person. Daniel wondered who had introduced this kind of person to J. If Ferris and J had been together, J would have been involved in trouble too. "Okay, Mr. Si. And also, about the Shun Tian Project we invested in; one of the bidders, Poe is his name, wanted to see you and talk to you." "Okay, arrange a meeting for us." The capital involved in the Shun Tian Project was huge, and it was necessary to talk to Poe face to face. Daniel thought. The secretary checked his schedule, and replied, "I''ll arrange the meeting on the third day after Miss Nicole wedding ceremony. You can meet him in the evening on that day. Is that alright?" "Okay." "That''s all. I''m sorry to have interrupted you, Mr. Si, " said the secretary. After ending the call, Daniel was wondering whether he should remind Jane to be cautious of Ferris or not. But then he thought that Jane had always been with him, and that Ferris couldn''t have reached her. On that day, in the evening, Daniel causally said to J, "Don''t see or talk to Ferris again, this guy is not a good person." But J was too drowsy after ying with John the whole day, and she didn''t hear what Daniel had just said to her. She simply replied with an okay, and then fell asleep. Time went by fast, and it was time to go back home, and J was happily packing her luggage inside the house. She was doing this by all by herself because butler Park had dismissed all the maids in the house under L''s strict instruction. They had to hire hourly workers when they came to America again. In C Country Daniel appeared at the gates of the airport with John in his arms, and J was beside him dressed in a long Denim Jacket, while Spark followed them from behind carrying the luggage in his hands. Jerry came to pick them up, and he took John from Daniel''s arms and pinched John''s chubby face. He smiled, and said, "You have gained some weight while staying with your sister. Hehe, you must have eaten a lot delicious foods." Chapter 148 Why Havent You ever Peeped in on Me When I was Taking a Shower Chapter 148 Why Haven''t You ever Peeped in on Me When I was Taking a Shower John raised his little head, and said in a proud tone, "Of course, my brother-inw treated me very well!" Daniel was happy and satisfied with little John''s words. J smiled, and when she looked towards the car, she asked, "Where''s Sally?" "Sally''s quite busy choosing dresses for Nicole, " said Jerry. They then got inside the car. Sven and Nicole''s wedding ceremony was scheduled to be held in less than ten days, and the two powerful families were really busy. Jerry drove them straight back to the Royal Mansion Neighbourhood, and stopped at Mansion No. 8 first. E and Samuel were already waiting for them with lunch. They were quite happy to see theme back home. "Daddy, mommy, why did you abandon me? Is it really because I''m so ugly?" asked John. He was in his mother''s arms, and he looked at his mother with a discontented look on his face as he repeated what J had told him back in America. J giggled, and thought that the kid really had a good memory! And he took her jokes on him serious. E pretended to be angry, and stared at her daughter. She said, "Who''s the one that said that my John is ugly? I''ll punch him, or her..." John instantly held his mother''s neck, while pointing his finger at J. He said, "It was sister, and she even peeped on me when I was having my bath!" John''s childish words made everyone present in the house burst intoughter. Daniel whispered to J''s ear, "Why haven''t you ever peeped in on me when I was taking a shower?" J''s face instantly flushed red, and she pinched the tittering man beside her. She said, "Don''t be so shameless!" "I''m not ashamed, I don''t care about shame with my wife!" said Daniel. J quickly covered his mouth, and then she took a nce at the other people around. Luckily, no one heard their conversation. "No more of your nonsense!" protested J. Daniel grabbed her hand and kissed it, and after that he dragged her to the living room. At lunch time, J felt that it was strange that Samuel and E didn''t ask Daniel a single question about his ns for their marriage. Before, Samuel had kept worrying whether Daniel would take responsibility for J or not. They had already been to America for more than two weeks, but now it seemed that he didn''t ask not even a single question. What''s more, he was now even having some nice talks with Daniel. J felt it was really odd. After finishing their lunch, Daniel was just about to go back to thepany. Spark drove Daniel''s car from mansion No. 9, and before he got inside his car, Daniel held J in his arms, and said, "Go inside and sleep." J agreed and nodded her head to him. She had always stayed together with him when they were in America, and she wasn''t used to being separated from him now. Daniel understood her feelings and smiled, and whispered to her ear, "Go to the Waterside Apartment Complex tonight." J''s face flushed red again, and she pinched his hand. She replied to him with two simple words, "No way!" She then ran back to the mansion. Daniel looked at her back, his eyes filled with warmth. Inside mansion No. 8 E saw her daughtering in and wearing a happy and sweet look on her face. She then tittered at her, "What? He just left. Miss him now?" Samuel then echoed his wife''s words and let out an exaggerated sigh. He said, "As the saying goes, a grown daughter can''t be kept at home!" ''But Daniel, you brat, you''re lucky to have my daughter!'' thought Samuel. J''s face flushed bright red again, and she stared at her parents, and said, "I don''t want to talk to Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. you anymore. I have to go to bed now!" Then she went upstairs, jumping with joy. Samuel and E looked at each other, grinning a reassuring smile. In the SL Group Hearing that Mr. Si wasing back, some of the secretaries immediately checked over their files and papers, which were usedter during the meeting. Shirley sat on her chair with her hand pressing her chest, because her heart was beating really fast. She took a few deep breaths, and while trying to calm down, she encouraged herself in her mind, ''Shirley Zheng! Take it easy! Perform well, you''re the best that''ll ever be!'' The elevator''s door was opened, and Daniel''s tall figure appeared in front of the secretaries. He was walking fast, with Spark trying to keep up with him from behind. "Hello, Mr. Si!" The six secretaries all stood up and greeted Daniel. Daniel gave them a simple reaction, but then he incidentally caught a glimpse of Shirley, who had already started to work there. But he didn''t say anything more, and just entered his office. Shirley became so nervous when Daniel nced at her that she almost suffocated on the spot. Daniel looked even more handsome and attractive. Daniel sat on his chair and thought for a short while. Then he instructed Spark, "Ask Shirley Zheng, the new secretary, to bring me the papers we''re going to use for the meetingter. And also, tell her to highlight for me the important points of the meeting." Spark was a little bit surprised, and he went out to call Shirley in. This task was initially Miss Qin''s duty, so when they heard that their boss had asked Shirley to do it instead, they were all shocked. Shirley was nervous, and her face even turned a little pale. She was still not quite that familiar with this task, and she didn''t know if she had the confidence to do it well. But it was Daniel''s order, and she had to manage her emotions. She took the papers and entered the CEO''s office. Meanwhile in the office, Daniel was reading the papers concerning the Shun Tian Project. Shirley took a deep breath, and while grinning a smile, she said, "Mr. Si!" "I''m listening!" Daniel answered her straight to the point, without uttering nonsense. Shirley then opened her papers, and told him all the important points of their uing meeting. Five minutester, Shirley stopped her reporting, and the office was quiet for a moment. After this, Daniel said in a in voice, "Put the papers here." After Shirley put them in front of him, Daniel said, "You are working here by J''s rmendation. I hope that you won''t make any mistakes in your work, but remember, if you make any, I won''t give you any preferential treatment!" Shirley of course understood him. She got the chance for the interview through some inner rtions, and if she didn''t do well in her work, she would be fired at any time, without any second thoughts! Feeling a little distressed, Shirley tried to smile, and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Si. I will try my very best to not disappoint either you, or J." "Get out and work!" said Daniel. The man had kept his eyes on the paper he was studying from the beginning of his conversation with Shirley to the end, without even ncing at her, not even for a second. Coming out of the CEO''s office, Shirley could now hear everyone talking about her. They wondered what was the rtionship between her and Mr. Si, as they heard of the news that it was Mr. Si who had given her the opportunity to take the interview. When Shirley thought of Daniel''s cold attitude towards her, she swore in her mind that she must work harder and perform the best as she could to let Daniel change his attitude on her. At nine o''clock in the evening Daniel closed the final file, and looked at his wristwatch. He then immediately cleared his desk and walked out of the office. Spark was about to follow up with him, but Daniel waved his hand, and said, "You''re off duty today, I can go back home by myself." He gave his strict instruction to Spark while he kept walking towards his personal elevator. Spark shook his head, and understood the only reason for him to rush back home so early. But Shirley had a doubtful look in her eyes, and she cautiously asked, "Spark, why is Mr. Si in such a hurry? What''s going on?" This was not a topic that should be discussed in thepany, but Spark knew that Shirley was introduced here by her friend, J. He said, "There''s only one woman who can make our boss feel so anxious to go back home to her. Who do you think that is?" Needless to say her name, Shirley of course understood who he was talking about. Her breathing intensified when she looked at the piles of papers stacked in front of her. She then devoted herself to thepany''s work for the rest of the evening. Inside the Waterside Apartment Complex The Cayenne stopped in the interior parking lot. Daniel locked his car, and then quickly entered the elevator, and when he thought of his woman, he grinned a big smile. Chapter 149 Jane, Youre So Amazing Chapter 149 Jane, You''re So Amazing When he reached the 16th floor, Daniel unlocked the apartment using his fingerprint. However, he found that it was dark and silent inside. He felt a little disappointed, because he had asked Jane toe and spend the night with him there. He switched the light on and entered the bedroom, but it was empty. Daniel felt depressed, and with a cold face, he took out his phone out of his pocket and was just about to call J. But at that moment, a figure, walking barefoot, got close to Daniel from a corner. When she was just one meter away from him, Daniel vigntly turned around and backed away. J was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. He was always vignt... Although J was barefoot, and walked without making any sound, Daniel still felt her getting close to him. When Daniel looked at J, who was in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank. J was actually there, and she even... Had dressed up sexy for him. "I... I..." Daniel fixed his eyes on J with intense ardour, making her too nervous to utter another word. ''Don''t I look pretty? Sally told me that a man loves a woman dressed up like this. Should I be more proactive?'' thought J. She scratched the back side of her head, thinking that she shouldn''t let Daniel leave her this time since she was dressed up like that. "Daniel..." J called out to him in a gentle and alluring voice, and gradually got closer to him. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. She put her fair arms around Daniel''s waist... "I''m a little cold..." What J was saying was true, because spring hade, and the heater hadn''t been turned on yet and the balcony''s window was still open. Daniel''s breath intensified. He plucked his tie and then held J in his arms. J stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed his perfect lips. Daniel lowered his head, and tasted her sweet red lips. When he was with her, Daniel wasn''t feeling restrained or indifferent anymore! J almost couldn''t resist Daniel''s temptations or bear his passionate reaction towards her tonight. She giggled and bit him for several times in a kind of mild, yful retaliation. Both of them threw their clothes on the floor, and with his forehead covered in beads of sweat, Daniel He kissed her wildly, covering her fair skin with a thousand of his kisses. At dawn, Daniel finally stopped kissing J, who had constantly begged him to let her go. He then held her in his arms and entered the bathroom. In the morning, Daniel walked into thepany feeling in an excellent mood. When his employees saw him, they instantly greeted him, however, many of them were so surprised to see him like that, that they covered their mouths in astonishment. They were amazed to see the two hickies on his neck, his shirt cor unable to cover them. But he didn''t care about that at all, and even ignored everyone''s bewildered expression; he just jauntily walked in his personal elevator. When Daniel reached his office floor, Shirley was already at her ce, working. After getting out of the elevator, Daniel walked straight to his office while checking his phone. Shirley had already stood up from her chair and intended to greeted Daniel, but when she saw the marks on his neck, she couldn''t utter a single word to him. She just silently stood there and watched Daniel entering his CEO office. In thepany canteen, at noon For the whole day, Daniel was the main topic of discussion for all the employees of the SL Group. All of Shirley''s colleagues got together in twos and threes and talked about Daniel''s affair. They all guessed that their CEO must have had fun with a woman somewherest night. Finally, they mentioned J. "I heard that when Mr. Si went to America this time, J went together with him!" said one of the employees. "But I heard that J is Mr. Si''s sworn sister, right?" said another one. "Didn''t you watch the Weibo video? Miss Song was saying that J also likes Mr. S, andter, Miss Song broke up with Mr. Si, " replied another one of them. "Ah? Sworn sister and sworn brother! What they did was so amazing! No wonder that Mrs. Si was saying that J was Mr. Si''s fianc¨¦e, " said another one. "J must be the one who was with Mr. Sist night!" ... Shirley sat together with the secretary, Miss Qin, and was slowly eating her food beside the gossiping group. Everyone in that group spoke their thoughts a little bit loud, so she was clearly hearing what they were talking about. When they almost finished their lunch, Miss Qin, who was sitting opposite to her, couldn''t help but ask Shirley, "Shirley, I''ve heard that you and J know each other pretty well. Did she really go to America with Mr. Si?" Shirley was stunned by her question for a little while and wondered how to best answer it. "I don''t know. J is a yful girl, but she didn''t tell me where she went, and I also didn''t ask her about it, " replied Shirley. Miss Qin didn''t get the answer she wanted, and she was a little disappointed. She then lowered her head and continued to eat her lunch in silence. Unlike Daniel, who was in a good mood, J, who was gossiped by the others, was still sleeping. When she woke up, it was already past four o''clock in the afternoon. She had nned to go to her shop in the morning, but her n had been dyed because she had overslept. When she climbed out of the quilt, her legs wereid, and fell off the bed by ident. Luckily, thanks to the carpet on the floor, she didn''t feel any pain. Angry and disoriented, J got up from the floor and walked into the bathroom. She had to continue practicing her taekwondo, or otherwise she would feel ashamed if the others ever found out that she couldn''t handle Daniel''s wild enthusiasm! After she washed, J turned on her phone and found that Sally had called her for several times. When J got through to her, Sally screamed on the other end of the line, "Jane, well done! My brother went to thepany with the hickies you left on his neck!" "Um?" J tried her best to recall what had happenedst night, and remembered that she had bitten Daniel twice. She left marks on his neck... "Jane, I''m telling you, everyone in the SL Group is now wondering with who did brother had a romantic affairst night! My brother seemed to have heard them talk about him, and he even didn''t stop them! Jane, you''re so amazing!" said Sally. She smiled while looking at the adult pajamas she wanted to give to her sister. However, her sister was pregnant for three months, so she changed her mind for the moment. ''Or... Could I wear them?'' thought Sally. "Ah! I understand!" said J. ''That''s too bad! Oh, what a shame! Why didn''t Daniel hide them?'' thought J. "It doesn''t matter, they don''t know that the one who stayed with Danielst night was actually me, " said J. She also grinned, thinking that she was very lucky. However, after she heard what Sallyter said, J was so shocked that her smile froze on her face. "What you''re thinking ispletely wrong! In this well-developed Inte era, you can''t hide any secrets anymore. The news that you and my brother went to America some time ago has already spread, and many people know of that. Everyone concluded that the one who spent the night with my brother could be only you! J! Hey, hey..." ... J''s face then twitched a little and thought that the people of the SL Group were so awesome that they had even revealed the fact that she had went to America together with Daniel! "It''s all your fault. Why did you have to give me that bare midriff pajama..." J, with her face flushed, making him act like a passionate beast when they had made love to each otherst night! Chapter 150 Make A Man Want To Conquer You Chapter 150 Make A Man Want To Conquer You J almost screamed when she saw herself in the mirror, and quickly covered her mouth! ''Daniel was indeed a wild beast!'' She thought, while looking at her body. "Whee, my brother just loves you more now. You should thank me for that!" Sally hummed while she shook the nightgown in her hands. "But your brother didn''t even say that he loves me the whole entire night!" J was feeling wronged, and thought that he had only wanted to sleep with herst night. Sally was speechless for a moment, but then said, "It''s said that women in love are just a bunch of fools with low IQ, and that is true. Don''t you already know that my brother really loves you? If he didn''t love you, he wouldn''t have moved in with you. If he didn''t love you, he wouldn''t have taken you to America. Jane, when did you ever be so foolish?" J hid herself under the quilt, and with her face flushed red, said, "He said that he loved me only one time!" ''Although, I might also have said that I love him only once... Well, we''re even then!'' thought J. Sally was again speechless for a while, but after kept on enlightening her. "My brother is really cold, and you can''t expect him to say sweet things all day long. In his mind, if he said he loves you, even once, it willst forever. So cut all of this nonsense already." "Hum, I know! How about we have dinner together?" Since Shirley had started working for the SL Group, she had arrived homete everyday, and only replied to J''s WeChat messages in the middle of the night. Shirley just wanted to perform better at her job, so J didn''t dare to bother her any longer. "You should ask my brother first whether he is free, and then make an arrangement with me." They were in passionate love, and Sally felt that she shouldn''t bother them. J thought about it, and said, "Maybe he''s busy now. I waited for more than three hoursst night for him before he got off work!" "OK! Tell me where to meet. Oh, I heard the newly released movie is good. Should we go go see it?" "I''ll meet you on Puxi street!" ... After she hung up the phone, J ran to the wardrobe to find the right clothes for her meeting with Sally. The phone on the bed rang again, and when she picked it up, she found that it was a strange number. "Hello." "J, I''m Kate. I have something important to tell you. Let''s meet up." Straight to the point, typical of Kate. ''What can Kate possibly want now?'' she wondered. J then said, "Sorry, I''m busy right now." J turned her invitation down because she didn''t think that she could possibly have something to talk with Kate. "Don''t turn me down like that. Don''t you want to know why me and Daniel got together?" Kateughed coldly, and thought that if the Changsheng Group was now gradually falling apart, and that she was so miserable, Daniel must suffer as well! Hearing Daniel''s name, J hesitated. After thinking for a while, she said, "Now, in the LN cafe." "No problem." After making the appointment with Kate, J picked up a pinky white casual dress from the wardrobe, a white coat, and then walked out of the apartment. In the LN cafe Kate had already arrived there for five minutes when J came. Kate carefully looked at the young girl. After all, she was just a little girl. She had just graduated from school, and she was basically dressed in casual style. Even the shoes on her feet were handmade white canvas shoes. The white and pink clothes made her skin look peachy. She looked wonderful, and everyone knew that she was in love as soon as they saw her. Kate withheld her jealousy. After J ordered her coffee, she picked up a photo from her purse and pushed it in front of her. J measured Kate from head to toe. It had been a while, and Kate seemed to be not that charming anymore. ''Is it because she broke up with Daniel?'' thought J. She even seemed to be withering. In the photo she pushed in front of her, a woman was smiling with charm; wasn''t this Kate herself? Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Kateughed. She told J, "That is not me. And that''s also why Daniel and I were together." J fell silent. "Her name is Sabina Fan, Daniel''s first love. She married another man after they had been together for two years. You know, no one can''t forget their first love. Daniel and I got together because I looked exactly like Sabina. I was just her substitute. Daniel told me that he appreciated my confidence and strong determination, and that''s why he liked me. But I knew that wasn''t true. He was just missing Sabina too much and wasn''t willing to look deep inside himself." Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. ... Sabina Fan. It was the first time that J had heard this name. Kate said it in such a definite matter that it seemed a real story. "If you don''t trust me, you can ask Daniel about Sabina yourself." The waiter served the coffee to J, but she just lifelessly stirred thette in the cup. A while passed and it was silence before she started speaking. "So, why are you telling me this?" "I just wanted to tell you that, deep in your man''s heart, there actually is another woman. Pardon me for speaking frankly, but you, J, are just a spoiled little girl. You''re wayward, unreasonable, tempered and so on. An outstanding man like Daniel would never in his life fall in love with you. He''s looking for someone to be his spiritual partner." Her words made J''s face turn pale. She thought that it was true that she was wayward and unreasonable, but these could be gradually fixed! "You don''t have to lie to me! Daniel and I are going to be engaged, just after Nicole''s wedding. If he doesn''t love me, we won''t get married." Thinking about Daniel pressing her to get married over and over again made J feel safe. Her word surprised Kate. ''They''re going to be engaged? She''s just a little girl. I can fix her, '' she thought. She then said, "Do you know why? You''re unyielding and obstinate, which makes a man want to conquer you. Daniel is a man, and you know that he is powerful and bossy. He''s getting engaged to you just to conquer you, and he wanted everyone to see that he, Daniel Si, can conquer the arrogant J Shao! Your father and brother are both renowned, and Daniel will feel great when he conquers you." Her every word was like a hammer that was swinging at J''s heart. She looked at Sabina''s photo in silence. Seeing that she couldn''t persuade J, Kate unlocked her phone and showed her another picture. "If this is also a fake picture, I''ll be cursed!" It was still Sabina in the photo, but in it there was also a man who was cheerfully smiling. It was Daniel, with a big smile on his face, holding Sabina in his arms a few years ago. Chapter 151 Sabina Was Constantly in His Villa Chapter 151 Sabina Was Constantly in His Vi J was jealous on the girl in the photo; she didn''t even have a photo of her with Daniel taken yet. She remembered that one night, when they were in A Country, she had wanted to take some pictures with him, but that he had rejected her... J opened her mouth after a while, and said, "So what? Sabina is married now. It''s a little toote to regret now." Kate kept on smiling. She had came prepared to J, and she showed her a screenshot with a piece of news. "Dn Dou, the richest man of Muduo City in Green Cold Country, formally divorced Sabina Fan at the beginning of this month." The said everything there was to know. After reading it, J tightly clutched one of the corners of her garment. She took a deep breath, and sneered at Kate, "Why do you try to make me suffer when you yourself had such a hard time? Daniel is my boyfriend now and I believe in him." Kate took a sip out of her cup of coffee, trying to cover her envy. Her face looked normal again when she put down the cup. "Daniel stayed in America for two months, and one week during that period, Sabina was constantly in his vi. I saw her personally when I went there. But Daniel and me were in one room, and Sabina was in the next. However, that was not the point. The point is that Sabina now wanted toe back to Daniel." Her words flustered J. Everyone knew that Kate had been to Daniel''s vi, including J; she had also been mad at him for this. J recalled those days in the No. 9 vi. Daniel had went to Kate''s room immediately after he was finished having sex with her. "You and Daniel... How far have the two of you gone?" J''s mind went nk, and she wasn''t aware anymore that Kate would lie to her. "Whatever happened, happened only between Daniel and me." Kate lied to J. And her words absolutely shattered J. She told herself that Daniel had had sex with her before he had hooked up with her. But, even after they got together, it seemed that Daniel and Kate had still slept... "J, another reason for Daniel to be with you is that he is forced by his family. When we were together, his parents had called him lots of times, advising him to be with you. Daniel was so annoyed by them that he eventually epted to be with you." ''He was forced by parents?'' J believed everything she said. Everyone knew that L wanted them to be together. J didn''t even notice when Kate left. After a while, J went straight to the SL Group. She wanted to know what Daniel had to say about all of this. J sent a message to Sally on her way to the SL Group. "Sally, I have something to deal with with right now. I can''t meet you tonight, we''ll meet on another day." Sally immediately called her. "Jane, what happened?" Looking outside the car window, J bit her lip, and asked, "Sally, do you know Sabina?" Sally paused for a brief second. Of course she knew her. Sabina was Daniel''s first love, but she was not that important to him as J expected her to be. Sally tried to exin to J, "Jane, that''s all in the past, and Daniel only loves you now." ''He only loves me now?'' J had been also quite sure about this before she had her talk with Kate, but now she wasn''t anymore. "Okay, I see. I''m going to see him." "Alright, but just talk to him. Don''t argue or fight!" J had a bad temper, while Daniel wasn''t that talkative. He didn''t defend himself often. "Okay. Bye, Sally." After the short phone call, J patted herself on the forehead. She told herself to calm down before This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. seeing him. ''Don''t get angry. Don''t get angry. Don''t get angry.'' She remind herself three times. However, all of her reminders were quickly forgotten when she saw Daniel. At the SL Group J had previously worked there, so the receptionist recognised her. She was just about to inform Spark of her visit after she found out that she was here for Mr. Si. But J stopped her, and said, "There''s no need to inform Spark. I can go upstairs by myself." J then walked towards the elevator after she spoke to the receptionist. But receptionist felt a little worried and still called Spark after J got inside the elevator. Spark received the phone call just when J had arrived on the CEO''s office floor. "I know. Don''t worry, it''s alright." After he hung up, Spark stood up immediately. "Miss Shao, Boss Si is in a conference with his managers. Shall I inform him of your visit now?" Spark took a look at J, and saw that her face was slightly pale. Shirley also saw J. She wanted to greet her, but she just waved at her, because they were in the J smiled at her in return, and said to Spark, "Yes, please. Thank you!" J then walked towards Shirley. "Shirley, you must be tired." Looking at a pile of papers on her desk, J felt a little guilty. Maybe she shouldn''t have rmended her to the SL Group. "I''m fine, don''t worry. Are you here for Boss Si?" Shirley squeezed a smile and spoke in a whisper. She also found that there was something wrong with J, but she couldn''t ask too much during office hours. "Yes. There is something I need to talk with him." At that very moment, Daniel came out in person out of the conference room to wee J. The managers were leaving, and J and Daniel were looking at each other. She walked up to him and he stretched his right hand, grabbing her and dragging her inside the president''s office. The door was then closed. One of the secretaries said, "Boss Si and J are really dating each other. Have you seen that? He held her by her hand into his office." She really admired J for her cunning spirit to be with her boss. Another secretary joined in on the gossip about Daniel and J. All of this was happening while Shirley was just nkly looking at her files in front of her. "Honey, why did youe here?" Daniel sat on the sofa and let J sit on his legs. Thinking ofst night, he unconsciously gulped. Chapter 152 This Was Difficult to Explain Chapter 152 This Was Difficult to Exin J suddenly stood up from hisp. She looked at his face, which had softened a lot from his usual cold expression. She didn''t know how to tell him what was on her mind, or what she should ask him first. Seeing J''s strange behavior, Daniel was wondering what had happened to her. "What do you want to ask me? Go ahead!" He reached out his hands, trying to hold her, but she put her hands aside, avoiding his grasp. "Sabina Fan." She blurted out the name tly and gazed firmly at Daniel. Daniel was shocked to hear the name, and his face became pale. Then, he said, "Why are you mentioning her?" He was pondering how did J find out about Sabina. Looking at Daniel''s expression, J thought that what Kate said was right. She asked him, "Why do you want to be with me?" Daniel stood up from the sofa, and while he frowned, he said, "Jane, has anyone told you anything?" J looked very odd today, and she had surely seen someone beforeing to his office, thought Daniel. "I''m good at nothing, and you are excellent at everything. Why did you choose to be with me in the first ce? Is it just because your mother has pushed you to be with me?" She ignored his question and continued to bombard him with her doubts and frustrations. "Or is it because I''m just another stubborn woman, and you''ll feel happy if you conquer me?" ... Daniel''s face now became very cold, and he was very angry. He really wanted to find the person who had told all of this bullshit to J. "My silly sweetheart, I chose to be with you only because I love you. It has nothing to do with any other people." "Oh, so you like me only because you like dominating me in bed. You just enjoy making me sumb to your will." She remembered that when they were in bed, Daniel had asked her many times, "Will you stay obedient to me? Will you always listen to me?" "Tell me, who has instilled all of these ideas and thoughts into your mind?" Daniel asked her in a cold, stern manner. He wasn''t angry with her, but only with the person who had sown the discord between him and J. J was very simple-minded, and she was easily trapped by ill-disposed people. J didn''t want to betray Kate, and instead raised her head and looked into Daniel''s eyes, and said, "Please answer my question." Daniel didn''t want to answer her unreasonable questions, and so he walked to the desk and called through the internal line. "Come in for a moment, " he said. Within seconds, Spark knocked on the door and entered the office. Daniel said to him, "Check all the people that Jane met beforeing here." "No!" J protested immediately. Daniel nced at Spark in a daunting manner, and ordered him, "Go check! Now!" "I said no! Daniel!" They quarrelled with each other, and Spark was caught in a weird dilemma. He didn''t know what he should do. He was supposed to follow the CEO''s order, but he also knew that J weighed pretty much in Daniel''s heart. Obviously, he could not ignore what J was saying. Finally, Daniel cave in. He shot a look at Spark to leave the office. Daniel then got closer to her and took her into his arms. He calmly said to her, "J, I don''t want to know who told you all these things. What I do know is that I only want to be with you. You are the woman with whom I want to spend the rest of my life. Just forget all about that crap!" "Yes, I want to forget, and I believe you, but Sabina is still buried deep in your heart. She''s even more important to you than me. How can I rest assured to marry you?" J stayed in Daniel''s arms, and she was very angry. Daniel seriously replied, "J, Sabina is a woman of my past. You don''t need to feel bothered by her anymore." The past is the past, and Daniel could no longere back to her. "But..." J broke free from his arms and looked at Daniel aggrieved. She said, "Sabina divorced, andst time when you went to America, she was living in your mansion. And Kate also shared the bedroom with you. We are together now, indeed, but you have betrayed me, both emotionally and physically... You aren''t faithful to me." J paused here. Now Daniel knew who had told these things to her. "I''m not and I wasn''t unfaithful to you, Jane. I''ve always loved you from the beginning!" said Daniel. He looked deep into J''s eyes. Daniel was such a heartwarming person. He thought that J was only jealous about Sabina and Kate. He walked up to J and again held her in his arms. He then gently, and lovingly, said, "Jane, don''t think of it too much. I really love you." J remembered the scenes in mansion No. 9. She felt furious and pushed him away, harshly. She couldn''t help crying out, "Daniel! You''re still lying to me! When I got out of the hospital, I wanted to beg you for your forgiveness, but I saw you on Kate''s bed, holding her hand." She took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears; she failed, and tears ran in a stream down her cheeks. She said, "When Iter left on that day, you still went into her room!" Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Then she thought that she was really ridiculous. She had known beforehand that there was something between Daniel and Kate happening at that time, but she was still willing to live with him. She now really considered that she had actually degraded herself! The tears on J''s face made Daniel''s heart ache. "Please don''t cry, Jane. I deliberately did it to make you feel jealous. I had no other intentions!" He hadn''t expected this to cause him so much trouble. At the time, he had let Kate go to his mansion, because he wanted to make J angry. But now this was difficult to exin... He really wanted to kick himself in the head; he had made a terrible mistake. It was impossible for J to believe him. "Apart from Kate, why didn''t you mention Sabina?" From the very beginning of their conversation, Daniel had talked little about Sabina. He even didn''t exin what had happened while they were in America. "I didn''t intentionally avoid mentioning her. I only thought that this was something that had already passed, and it''s meaningless to talk about things that happened in the past. We can''t get back together, you don''t have to worry about that." Daniel really didn''t understand why J was so bothered by Sabina. Was it because she was jealous? "Something that had already passed? No. Daniel, you lived with her in your mansion for a week, and there is no exnation for that! You''re fooling me!" J wiped her tears with her hands. She shouted at him with anger in her voice. Daniel had also felt unhappy when J had simply across Brian in America. Why couldn''t she ask him about Sabina? Daniel put his arms around her neck, and said in a hard, stern voice, "Sabina was only in a bad mood, and she wanted to stay at my ce for a week. Nothing happened between us." He acknowledged that Sabina had shown regret for not staying with him, but in order to draw a clear line between them, and make Sabina give up on her endeavors, Daniel had called Kate to his ce. That was why Kate was in the same bedroom with him. "And tell me the real reason why you were with Kate..." Jane blurted out herst question. Daniel kept silent about this question for a while. In the beginning, he was with Kate because she physically resembled Sabina. But since Jane had appeared in his life, everything had changed. He said, "The real reason was because I wanted to protect you. Because I am in such a high position, there are many people who are against me, and I was worried that you might be hurt by them." The reason sounded ill-founded, and J sneered at him, and said, "But you worry about Kate, did you?" "No. I don''t care about her. You are my only concern." Kate had known Daniel''s true intention, and Daniel had made it clear to her, but she was still willing to be with him, nheless. Chapter 153 Register Our Marriage Chapter 153 Register Our Marriage His exnations didn''t convince J, but instead made her feel that Daniel was maybe too cold. "I won''t trust any of your words! We''re breaking up!" J blurted out these words, and got free of his grip. She then walked towards the office door. Daniel had exined so many things to her, but she was still angry at him, and she even threw out the words "breaking up" to him, which really irritated him. He strode a few steps and dragged back the woman who was trying to leave. Again, she fell back into his arms. He then lowered his head to kiss her red lips. It wasn''t just a kiss; he was actually biting on her lips. J felt pain, and she put her hands on his strong waist and pinched hard on it. After a long while, the man finally let her go, and watched her gulping for air. His eyes were burning with intense rage, and he said, "J, don''t you remember how you treated me in bedst night?" He continued, "I remember that you were really active and passionate about mest night. You called me brother Daniel, and what''s more, you also called me your husband..." Daniel''s words made J''s face instantly flush a bright red. She covered his mouth, and yelled, "Shut up! Don''t say one more word!" ''You even have the nerve to mention something like that! You''re the one who forced me to call you husbandst night!'' thought J. The man pulled off her hand, and while gritting his teeth, he warned her, "J, I don''t agree breaking up with you! Never mention these two words before me ever again!" "No way! I must break up with you! I won''t be with such an evil and mischievous man!" protested J. While she was crying and yelling at him, J was also struggling to get rid of his control, but the man wouldn''t loosen his grip not even a bit. "It''s not up to you to decide whether we''ll break up or not! You just wait for me. I''m going to soon ask for your father''s blessings, so behave well, and just marry me!" said Daniel. But then he suddenly corrected his words, and said, "Actually, no!" Daniel appeared to have changed his mind, and he stared at the stubborn woman with a meaningful look burning in his eyes. "What?" asked J. She felt scared under his piercing gaze. "We''re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now to register our marriage!" said Daniel. Pulling her by the hand, Daniel strode towards the door. ''The Civil Affairs Bureau?'' J was shocked, and her eyes instantly became bigger. ''Is he crazy?'' thought J. "No, I''m not going! I want to break up with you!" She tightly gripped the sofa in the office, and kept struggling to escape from his hold. She thought that she would rather die than go with him. ''You dared mention about breaking up again!'' thought Daniel. His rage skyrocketed again, and he just ced the woman over his shoulder and went with her towards the resting room! J was thrown ruthlessly onto the big bed, which made her feel dizzy for a brief moment. When she finally came back to her senses, the man pressed on her. "What''re you doing?" she asked. "Daniel, this is in your office! Don''t act rashly!" "Jane, I warned you not to mention about breaking up with me! But you wouldn''t listen to my words!" He raised her hands over her head, gripping them with his big palm. J was all of a sudden under his full control. She became frightened, and shouted loudly, because the door wasn''t closed yet. "Help! Help!" Unexpectedly, someone was knocking at the door, which made J feel happy, and relieved. "Daniel, someone''s knocking at the door!" said J. This was the CEO''s office, and no one would ever dare to knock at his door if they didn''t have something important to tell him. Daniel had to stand up from her, with his face all darkened up. Daniel seriously warned her, "J, this is yourst chance! If you ever dare mention those two words to me again, I won''t let you off so easily!" He then furiously tidied up his clothes and tie, and went out of the resting room. ''Why? Why is he angry? He really has the nerve to be angry with me! I''m the one who should have the right to be angry, because he''s such a bad man!'' thought J. She jumped out of the bed, and also hastily tidied up her clothes. Standing in the resting room, J could see that it was Shirley who had entered the office. She heard Daniel speak in a cold voice, "You''d better have something important to tell me, or else you have to get out right now!" His angry and cold voice startled Shirley so much that she even dropped on the floor the files she was carrying in her hands. When J saw him treat Shirley in that unfair and unkind way, she strode out of the resting room, and greatly angered, she confronted the man who was just about to light his cigarette in front of his desk. "Daniel Si! Are you always treating Shirley like this?" "J, no..." Shirley spoke in a low voice to stop J. She then bent down to pick up the files and papers from the floor. But when she bent down her body, Daniel incidentally caught a glimpse of her working uniform. He frowned, and his eyes were filled with contempt. ''When did the neckline of the SL Group''s working uniform be so low?'' wondered Daniel. "Daniel, say something!" urged J. She walked towards Daniel, with her cheeks furiously bulged up. The man lit his cigarette and put it between his lips. He didn''t seem to want to answer J''s words. J was so furious that she took away his cigarette, and put it out in the ashtray, while she kept murmuring, "Are you ignoring my words? Break up! Break up! We must break up, now!" Shirley picked up the files from the floor, and put them on the desk. She then said, "J, no... Mr. Si is actually nice to me!" ''Nice to you?'' wondered both J and Daniel. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Her words made both J and Daniel fall into different thoughts. In J''s mind, she wondered whether Daniel was nice to every woman in thepany. But in Daniel''s mind, he wondered if he had arranged not enough work to her. Daniel then instructed Shirley, "Report to me!" "Yes! Mr. Si... It''s about the project we have with the Xingchen Company. The project is running, but two people are dead because of it. Also, the director of the Xingchen Company has arrived here, and he is waiting for you in the meeting room on the 22nd floor!" The words "two people are dead" dumbfounded the people in the office, and the atmosphere became tense all of a sudden. Daniel got up from his chair and stood in front of J. He said, "Please go back first, and don''t ever mention about what happened today again. I have to go and work!" ''Don''t mention about it?'' thought J. "Are you afraid of talking about it? Okay, as you wish, I won''t mention it anymore. Because we''ll go on our separate ways from now on!" said J. J then put on her backpack, and waved to Shirley. She strode fast, and was just about to leave the office. But her backpack was suddenly caught, and J couldn''t move forward anymore. Daniel dragged the disobedient woman into his arms, and warned her, "J, if you really want to challenge my patience, we''ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tonight!" ''Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?'' wondered Shirley. She stared at the two quarrelling people with an unbelievable look gleaming in her eyes. "What a pity! The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed at night!" said J sarcastically. The man grinned a pretentious smile, and answered her, "Whenever I ask them to go back to work, they go back to work!" ... J was infuriated, and she eventually got rid of his control. She then spoke in an impulsive manner, and said, "Daniel, are you selling yourself out so cheap?" At that moment, the office fell silent. Shirley was shocked by J''s courage to disobey Daniel''s words in such an aggressive manner. Daniel nced at J, with his face nowpletely darkened up. He inly said, "That''s up to you!" He then strode away. Shirley gave a meaningful look to J, and then she also quickly went out and caught up with Daniel. ''Up to me? He should say that it''s up to me!'' thought J. She looked towards the direction to where he disappeared and curled her lips, feeling even more aggrieved. ''Why didn''t he have any more patience to coax me? He must''ve backed out because he was afraid that I discovered his lies! That''s it! Daniel''s having a guilty conscience now!'' thought J. Believing that Daniel was actually a bad man, J shook her head and then left the CEO''s office. Chapter 154 Im Heartbroken Chapter 154 I''m Heartbroken All the secretaries outside Daniel''s office had clearly heard J''sst sentence; it turned out that Mr. Si really was chasing J! In a trance-like state, J then walked out of the SL Group. When she saw that it was going to get Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. dark soon, she texted Sally, "I''m crossed in love!" Shortly afterwards, Sally called J. "Jane, you broke up with my brother?" she asked. J, thinking, walked on the roadside and said, "Right." Yes, indeed they had broken up. "Why?" asked Sally. "Your brother is such a bastard! I don''t want to be in a rtionship with him anymore. He still kept his first girlfriend in his heart, and what''s more, he still had sex with Kate after that day. I loathe him... because he is filthy, " replied J. She was suffering, and sat down on a stool, and looked up at the sky. With her eyes wide open, Sally asked confused, "Is my brother really a yboy?" "Um, even if he didn''t have any actual rtionship with Sabina or Kate, I still don''t want to be with him because of his decadent lifestyle!" said J. But, when she uttered these words, J felt even more heartbroken than ever! He had once promised her that he would keep his distance from other women. But, he was just another man that couldn''t help being lecherous; J had learned of this when she saw the eight maids at his vi in America. J believed that when she wasn''t there, he must''ve hooked up with at least one of them... "Did my brother agree to break up with you?" asked Sally. After she remembered him saying "Whatever", J replied, "Um, yes, he agreed!" "..." Sally was speechless, and was confused for a while, wondering why they had broken up. ''Didn''t my brother know Jane''s temper? Didn''t he put up with Jane when she was losing her temper?'' wondered Sally. She thought that she needed to talk this all over with her brother. Although Jane had a bad temper, Daniel''s temper was even worse than hers! "Jane, calm down first. There must be a misunderstanding between you and my brother, " said Sally. Two days ago, her mother had just told her cheerfully that her brother was going to be engaged to Jane, but now Sally was left wondering why they actually broke up. "Um... I''ll wait and see. If he really had his first girlfriend in his heart, I can''t ept this!" said J. She had once heard that for many people, their first lovers were unforgettable. And she found that this seemed to be true. Daniel was her first boyfriend, who really was unforgettable. Now that she had indeed broken up with Daniel, she felt really miserable, especially when she remembered all the happy time they had shared together not that long ago. "Wah!" While thinking of this, J burst into tears. When Sally heard that J suddenly started crying, she was shocked and said, "Jane, Jane, please don''t cry!" However, J didn''t stop crying, and instead cried even more bitterly. Suddenly, outside it thundered. "Oh, no! Jane, you should really go home now. I learned from the weather forecast that it''ll rain today!" said Sally. But J, who was still crying and almost out of breath, said, "Sally... Bye... Let me... calm down for a minute." After she said this, she hung up. If it now rained, it meant that God must be sympathetic towards her, because she had met a bastard like Daniel. And in just a few moments, raindrops began falling from the sky. Sally called J again, but no one answered the phone. She saw that it was going to rain, and so she called her brother. On the 22th floor of the SL Group, in the VIP room, the meeting''s vibe was stifling. Daniel was watching the current situation in a video broadcast, and said, "If the problem can be solved with money, use money to deal with it. But if it can''t..." "Ding ding ding." His phone rang. Daniel looked at the caller and continued to speak. "If it can''t be solved with money, I will personally go to D City." After he finished his words, he slid the answer button. "Daniel, it''s raining outside, " spoke Sally. Daniel then nced out the window and wondered how was J holding on through the unpleasant time of today. Where was she now? "Jane is still outside!" continued Sally. When she noticed that Daniel was so calm, Sally became anxious. "Where?" asked Daniel. "I don''t know. She was crying hysterically in the phone when I spoke with her just now. You have to go out and look for her!" said Sally. He massaged the painful spot between his eyebrows, and said, "I see." Daniel, who had already stood up from his seat just now, sat back, and texted Spark, "Go and look for her. Take her home." He then continued to discuss others things with the representatives of the cooperativepany. It was raining cats and dogs outside, and Daniel sat silent in his chair, not uttering another single word. Half an hourter, Spark called him, and he immediately slid the answer button. "Mr. Si, Miss Shao was already picked up by Mr. Han!" said Spark. He was a little disappointed, seeing the military vehicle drive away. The veins swelled on Daniel''s left arm when he held his phone. He replied, "Um..." The vibe of the meeting room was even more intense. The expression on Daniel''s face was very frightening, and Shirley, who was beside him, was so shocked when she saw him that she didn''t even dare to breath. After he returned to his office, Daniel called in Spark and assigned him a task. "Cut off all investments for the Changsheng Group, as well as the partnership with its cooperative bank. Was Kate about to be engaged to Leon before? You promote this matter." Spark secretly prayed for Kate in his heart, and said, "Okay, Mr. Si." But his wife still worked in the Changsheng Group and this time she might really lose her job. "You don''t have to worry about your wife, I will rmend her to anotherpany, " said Daniel. He kept on working on his documents, not even looking up. "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Si!" replied Spark. Now he felt more relieved. When Spark was just about to go out, he was called again by Daniel. Thoughtful, he said, "Change the uniforms of all our female colleagues. And pay close attention to the measurements!" Measurements? Spark was very confused, and asked, "What measurements?" Daniel cast a cold nce at him, and replied, "Remake them ording to thest batch of uniforms!" "Okay. Mr. Si!" said Spark. At the Southern Garden Complex Through the heavy rain, a military vehicle was steadily parked in front of apartment No. 2, at the Southern Garden Complex. Brian got out of the driver''s seat, took out an umbre from the trunk, and then walked to the front passenger''s seat, holding the umbre. He then helped J, who was wrapped in his clothes, get out of the car, and then entered the building''s elevator together. "J, tell me, what happened to you?" asked Brian. He was surprised when he received J''s call. When he saw J, who was soaked in the heavy rain, he felt very distressed. "I broke up with Daniel, " said J. She stared at the elevator''s floor number, which kept changing while the elevator was going up. She had called Brian just because she didn''t find any other suitable people to pick her up. At other times, she would''ve called Sven, or her brother, but this time she didn''t want them to see her in such an embarrassing and terrible situation. When he heard that she broke up with Daniel, Brian wondered if he should be happy or feel sorry for her. "Why did you break up with him?" asked Brian. The water was dripping from her long hair, and Brian stretched out his hand and wiped the water drops from her face with the back of his hand. J didn''t answer his question, but instead just seriously looked at him. Brian was stunned when he saw that she was looking at him, and asked, "Is there something on my face?" "No. Brian, I might still bother you, and need your help!" J was a little shy speaking these words, but in the end she finally uttered them. She knew that thest thing that Daniel would want to see was she hooking up with Brian. She nned to do this just to infuriate him... However, before Brian nodded, she immediately shook her head, and said, "Nothing, just forget it." Chapter 155 She Even Hangs Out with Brian Chapter 155 She Even Hangs Out with Brian J thought that she shouldn''t do this, because it would be unfair for Brian! When the elevator stopped on the 9th floor, they got out of it. "J, please tell me if you need any help!" said Brian. He tucked her wet locks of hair behind her ear. "It''s all right, Brian. Thank you, " replied J. She smiled with a bad grace. Brian then opened his apartment''s door and let J enter it first. He had lived there alone for a long period of time, so there were no anydy slippers around to give her; this time, he had to let J wear his slippers. "If you don''t mind, you can wear my slippers, " said Brian. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw J wearing a pair of slippers so big that her feet fitted only two thirds of them. J smiled and shook her head, and said, "That''s okay. Thank you, Brian." When she had been in trouble and had decided to call Brian, he hade to her aid straightaway, without even asking what happened. The apartment was big, and even if it was a little smaller than Daniel''s house, it still covered an area of about two hundred or even three hundred square meters. The decorative style of it belonged to the ck-grey-brown series. On the wall there were a lot of photos of the army, and also a group photo of Brian and hisrades. There were many trophies and medals ced on a bookshelf near her, and all of them were victories that Brian had gained over the years. "There''s no need to thank me. You should take a shower first, " said Brian. He took her to one of the bedrooms and opened its ck door, and when she saw how the room was decorated, J guessed that this must be Brian''s bedroom. There was a photo on the wall, and in the photo Brian was wearing his military uniform and was solemnly saluting. He had a four-piece bedding set with ck grey stripes on hisrge bed, and even the floor was decorated in ck and grey stripes. The whole room was filled with a strong masculine atmosphere. J stood at the door, and didn''t dare take another step forward. "There are rain drops dripping from my hair..." she said. Brian smiled, and said, "That''s why you have to take a hot shower immediately. Don''t let yourself catch a cold!" J stood motionless, but Brian grabbed her arm and took her to the bathroom. After he showed her where soaps and shampoos were ced, he closed the door behind him. However, there weren''t any clean clothes for J to change into... This was a very serious problem, and Brian looked around his closet for some clothes and finally found a casual white shirt. He then couldn''t help but picture J in his shirt, and felt a warm burst of liquid flowing down from his nose. Brian immediately wiped it away... He threw the shirt on the bed and then rushed to the adjacent bedroom to wash away his nosebleed. When he remembered that the woman he liked so much was taking a shower in his bedroom''s bathroom, Brian began feeling really anxious. Finally, after he did dozens of push-ups, he started feeling better. He took a deep breath and knocked on the bathroom''s door. When he heard that the shower had been turned off, Brian''s heart started racing again. "J... I''m going to buy you a new set of clothes... There''s a shirt on the bed that you can wear for now, " said Brian. J, who was still inside the bathroom, replied to him in a gentle voice, "You can goter, it''s still raining outside now." "That doesn''t matter. I''m leaving now, and don''t forget about the shirt on the bed!" After uttering these words, Brian ran out of the bedroom and stood in the living room. He badly wanted to p himself over the face. ''Brian, enough already! You''re 29 years old! You''re not a 19-year-old teenager anymore! Don''t act so childish!'' thought Brian. After he reproached himself, Brian walked towards the apartment''s door and changed his shoes before going outside. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. At that moment, the phone in J''s handbag rang. After Brian hesitated for a moment, he grabbed the handbag from the sofa and returned to his bedroom. He then knocked on the bathroom''s door again, and said, "J, your phone is ringing." J was applying shampoo to her hair, and she said, "Help me and tell me who is calling!" Brian opened her bag and took out her phone, but the caller disyed on the phone disappointed him. He had been happy earlier, but now he just felt morose. "Daniel..." he said. Silence fell inside the bathroom, but after half a minute, she said, "Brian, help me answer the phone." "What should I say after I answer it?" asked Brian. "... You can say anything that makes him unhappy, " replied J. "..." When the phone rang the second time, Brian slid the answer button and heard a man speak in a domineering, cold voice. "Jane Shao!" "It''s me, " said Brian. He looked towards the bathroom again and found that it was very quiet inside. Perhaps J wanted to know what Brian would say to Daniel. After Daniel heard Brian''s voice, his eyes suddenly opened, and rage seemed to be gleaning and burning in them. He then coldly asked, "Where''s J?" "She''s taking a shower now!" Brian answered him honestly. ... Later on, he felt a little frightened, and couldn''t help but shiver, as if he felt a st of cold wind apanying Daniel''s voice over the phone. "Tell her to answer the phone!" After another moment, Daniel spoke coldly. Brian smiled, and said, "Daniel Si, do you really want me to pass the phone to J this moment?" asked Brian. His words irritated Daniel, and said, "If you dare to even touch a hair on her head, I will make you disappear forever!" said Daniel. Disappear forever... Daniel was ruthless. Although he knew that Daniel could indeed do what he said, Brian still provoked Daniel. "It will be great if I can die for J!" After Brian said this, Daniel suddenly hung up the phone. After the call ended, Brian looked at the phone with confusion in his eyes. He shook his head and put the phone back in J''s bag. After this, he ced it on the desk. "J, you take your shower first. I''m leaving now!" After finishing these words, Brian closed the door behind him. J, who was absent-minded at that time, rubbed her long hair and wondered if Daniel was angry. She didn''t know that Daniel was at that time in Sven''s presence, and that he was so furious when he heard Brian that he threw his phone to the wall. He still didn''t manage to work off his anger this way, so he stood up from his chair and kicked it aside. Sven was really stunned to see Daniel losing his temper and wondered what was going on. He then watched Daniel pick up his phone and call Samuel. Daniel put the phone near Sven''s ear, and said to him, "Tell father that J is staying with Brian now, and that she wants to break up with me and that she''s at his ce." "..." Sven was confused. He had nothing to do with this; he had juste there to take shelter from the rain, but he had now learned that Daniel and J didn''t seem to get along too well with each other. But why did Daniel still involve him in this and asked him to act like a bad guy? They got through to Samuel on the phone very soon, and Sven didn''t even have the slightest chance to refuse Daniel. "Sven, what''s up?" asked Samuel. Sven looked at Daniel who was staring at him, and spoke in despair, "Father*, Jane wants to break up with Daniel." "Uh? What happened?" asked Samuel. He was very confused. Jane had broken up with Daniel, but why did Sven call to tell him about it? Sven wanted to say that he also had no idea... "Perhaps they broke up because of Brian. Jane is in Brian''s house. Just now... when Daniel called Jane, Brian answered the phone, while Jane... was taking a shower, " replied Sven. After he heard Sven, Daniel changed his expression and looked better. He then lit a cigarette and sat down in front of Sven. "She''s so unreasonable!" Samuel instantly became furious. He then immediately hung up the phone on Sven and tried calling J. However, J was still taking her shower, and no one answered the phone. Sven kicked Daniel, who was smoking his cigarette and asked, "Hey, what happened between you and J?" Chapter 156 Am I That Kind of Woman in Your Eyes Chapter 156 Am I That Kind of Woman in Your Eyes "What you heard!" said Daniel. He patted the dust shoe print off his trousers, and then returned Sven a heavy kick, which made Sven feel painful and grit his teeth. "Daniel! I''ll be your brother-inw very soon! But you still dare to treat me like this!" yelled Sven. While he was falling into deep thought, Daniel blew out a cloud of smoke. He initially wanted to find out Brian''s address, and go and retrieve J himself. But this would have made things worse, because she was stubborn. Daniel had thought it would be better to let her father know about the matter at hand and let him deal with it. Sven saw that Daniel was silent, and he couldn''t help himself to say something more. He said, "You should have been well aware of J''s character from the start. She''s just angry and acting rashly, and you just need to be more patient with her." Daniel squinted at him, and flicked his cigarette''s ash. He then said, "Call father* againter. If J''s still not home, I''m going to bring her back myself!" While he spoke, he went to his desk and pressed the internalpany line and called Spark, and instructed him to find Brian''s address. Hearing Daniel, Sven raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you want to make Jane hate me as well?" ''It was me who called her father and told him about the recent event! Jane will surely hate me!'' thought Sven. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. "No, she won''t." Daniel spoke in a confident tone to assure Sven that everything''s going to be alright. At the Southern Garden Apartment Complex, Building No. 2 After J had finished drying her long hair, she opened the bathroom''s door. She first stuck her head out of the door to see if there was anyone in the bedroom. When she saw that no one was there, she came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. There was a white shirt on the bed, and J quickly wiped the water drops off her body, and put on the white shirt. It wasn''t that bad a fit. The shirt''s length at least covered her thighs. Her phone inside her handbag rang again. J got out her phone and found that there were a dozen missed calls from her father. She wondered what had happened to her family. "Hello, dad!" After Samuel had called his daughter for a dozen times or more, the phone was finally connected. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and said, "J! Where are you now?" "Um... I''m at... But what happened? Dad?" stammered J. After a second thought, J thought that it might be better not to tell Samuel the truth. In case that Samuel might misunderstand her actual rtionship with Brian. Samuel tried to calm down, and asked, "What''s wrong between you and Daniel? Are you breaking up with him? What the hell are you doing?" ... J resentfully stared at Brian''s photo on the wall. She then thought that Brian had nothing to do with this, and she moved away her eyes, and yelled over the phone, "Daniel Si, you mean man! Why did you tell on my father!" Speechless, Samuel closed his eyes, and patiently told his daughter, "It wasn''t Daniel who told me about this. Now, tell me, are you staying together with Brian?" ''Since you already know that I''m staying at Brian''s ce, if it''s not Daniel who told you, then who else could it be? Oh! No, maybe the bodyguards who followed me told him!'' thought J. "Yes, but I''ming back very soon. Isn''t it pouring outside?" answered J. "OK, but J, please remember, don''t do any stupid things!" tried Samuel stressing out.. He agreed that his daughter coulde back hometer, when the rain stopped. ''Stupid things?'' wondered J. J felt distressed, and asked, "Father, am I that kind of woman in your eyes?" Samuel of course trusted his daughter, but he again asked her toe back home as soon as possible. He then hung up. J put her phone back inside her handbag. Brian hadn''t returned yet, and she was wearing only one shirt, and felt a little bit cold. She saw the bed with the quilt over it, andid on it under the quilt straightaway. She kept rolling her eyeballs, and still wondered if Brian was living there all by himself. After a couple of random thoughts, J dozed off. A long whileter, Brian came back home and knocked at the bedroom''s door, but J was sound asleep and didn''t wake up. Brian became anxious when no one answered, and said, "J, if you''re not opening the door, I''ll breaking up with Daniel?'' thought Brian. Brian couldn''t wait any longer, and he took the spare key from the drawer beside him. He then opened the bedroom''s door. After he opened the door, he rushed straight to the bathroom, without noticing that someone was huddled on the bed. The bathroom''s door wasn''t closed, and Brian tried to call out her name. "J!" But he still didn''t get any reply, and Brian entered it. No one was inside the bathroom, and the windows were all closed, too. ''Has she already left?'' wondered Brian. When he thought of this, Brian felt a little sad when he went out of the bathroom, but then he suddenly saw her handbag lying on the floor. ''Well! Her bag is still here...'' Then Brian burst intoughter, when he saw that J was actually sleeping. She not only had huddled herself on the bed, but had alsopletely hidden herself inside the quilt. He dragged the quilt away from her head to let her breathe. At that moment, Brian was so drawn by her lovely sleeping look that he couldn''t move his eyes away any longer. He was well aware of who the man that J had fallen in love with was, and he had seldom contacted her, afraid that he might bring her trouble if he did. Even if he missed her, he could only hold these feelings inside his mind and heart, never showing them on his face. When he had received her phone call, he was surprised. But at the same time he was also very happy, because J had always thought of him when she was in distress. And he was also excited to hear that she had broken up with Daniel, but he knew J''s childish character, and understood that she would be getting back with Daniel soon enough, when her anger had cooled down. Thinking about this, he again felt morose. But if J was happy, he too, of course, would be happy. Brian then gently kissed her forehead, turned around and walked out of the bedroom. He then closed the door. Outside it had already stopped raining, and J hadn''te back home yet. Daniel stubbed out his cigarette and, together with Spark, went to the parking lot. "Drive to the Southern Garden Apartment Complex, Building No. 2! Full speed!" ordered Daniel. Daniel had never expected that Brian''s apartment was in the same neighbourhood as his, but that was good, because he knew the ce well. When his apartment''s doorbell rang, Brian grinned a slight smile, and thought that Daniel had arrived a littlerter than he had initially expected. He opened the door, and there stood Daniel and Spark. The moment when Daniel saw Brian, his eyes gleamed with a cold light inside them. After he opened the door, Brian didn''t say a word, and just turned around and sat back on his sofa. He then continued to smoke his cigarette. Daniel scanned Brian''s living room, but then his eyes fell upon the closed bedroom door. He strode towards the bedroom, and when he put his hand on the doorknob, Brian opened his mouth, and spoke, "J said that you''ve broken up with her. Don''t you think that it''s not that nice to take her away from me now?" Daniel grinned a cold smile, and said, "We''ve just had amon couple''s quarrel. As you already know, Jane can be kind of wayward. And I''ve already forgiven her." Finishing his words, the man then pushed open the bedroom''s door, and he instantly saw the woman sleeping on the bed. Spark didn''t enter the room. Daniel moved away the quilt with his big palm, and when he saw that the woman was dressed in only a shirt, his eyes started burning with rage. He threw her on the thin quilt, and then wrapped her tight in it, and carried her out of the bedroom. "What have you seen?" Daniel asked Brian. Carrying the woman in his arms, he then stopped in the middle of the living room. The woman''s long hair was falling down like a waterfall. Brian drew thest smoke of his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and answered, "It''s okay if you don''t trust me. But if you don''t trust J, then that''s your mistake." Brian felt even more distressed when he saw that Daniel was protecting her so well. "Mr. Han, thank you for taking care of Jane. We''ll be sure to send you our wedding invitation card one dayter, " said Daniel. Finishing his words, and without turning his head around, Daniel left Brian''s apartment, carrying the woman wrapped inside the quilt. ''Wedding...'' Brian''s face nowpletely darkened with sadness. After a long while, Brian went back to his bedroom, and randomly threw the clothes he had bought for J into the wardrobe. At ten o''clock in the evening, Jfortably turned in bed and felt hungry. Chapter 157 When Your Attitude Improves Chapter 157 When Your Attitude Improves Touching her hungry belly, J opened her eyes and then sat up in bed. ''What? Where am I? In the Southern Garden Complex?'' wondered J. She then confirmed that she was indeed at the Southern Garden Complex, but she remembered that she should actually be in Brian''s apartment, and wondered why she was now in Daniel''s apartment. She was alone in the bedroom, with a soft light turned on. She then got out of bed. She also found that she was naked, but she remembered that she had been dressed in Brian''s shirt. ''Where''s the shirt? Why''s it gone? This must be Daniel''s work! Right! It surely must be him!'' thought J. J then got out of bed and found his bathrobe inside the wardrobe. Holding Daniel''s long bathrobe, which almost touched the ground, J went out of the bedroom. There was nobody in the living room, nor in the other bedroom. Then, when she opened the study room''s door, she saw him working inside it. "Daniel! Why did you bring me here?" The woman confronted him in an unfriendly, hostile tone. The man then raised his eyes from his papers, and said, "When your attitude improves, then you can ... "You mischievous wicked man, you have the nerve to tell me to change my attitude! No way!" replied J. J didn''t want to listen to any of his words; she only wanted to leave his apartment and never meet with him again! But Daniel kept his silence, without uttering another single word. "Let me go! I have to leave here!" yelled J. ... J was so furious that she turned around and violently mmed the door behind her. ''Do you think that I can''t leave here naked? I am J Shao, and you are really looking down upon me!'' thought J. She then went back inside the bedroom, and while grabbing her handbag, and holding the long bathrobe in her hands, she walked towards the apartment''s door. When she opened the apartment''s door, she heard footstepsing from behind her, and J reacted fast and ran out.. However, it was a tragedy! She had stepped on the long bathrobe, and her whole body had been thrown forwards. She fell. "Ah!" she screamed. J was frightened, and she immediately closed her eyes. ''Oh, shit!'' At that moment, her arms were gripped and pulled, and she was dragged into the man''s arms. The bathrobe on her had slipped off a little, and some parts of J''s body were now exposed. Daniel nced at the security camera looking at them in the short distance, and he immediately covered her body and dragged her back inside the apartment. Feeling frustrated, J got free off Daniel''s grip, and tidied the bathrobe on her. She then took out her phone from her handbag, which was still a little wet from the rain. ''It''s impossible that I can''t leave today! I must try every means to leave here!'' thought J. She then found Jerry''s number, and dialed it. But when she had just put her phone over her ear, it was suddenly grabbed by the man. J had gone berserk now! "Daniel! You bastard! Give me back my phone!" demanded J. Daniel switched off her phone, and put it back inside her handbag. He then locked the bag in the other bedroom. "Now, tell me, do you still want to break up with me?" asked Daniel. He coldly stared at the furious woman. "Yes! We must break all connections between us!" She insisted on her words in a definite, obstinate manner. Daniel didn''t pay any more attention to her, and decided to lock the apartment''s door with an unique unlock code; he then went back to his study. J felt helpless and returned to the bedroom. Sheid down on the bed, but soon enough got out of it again and locked the door. ''Fine! If I can''t leave, then I would rather starve to death than surrender to that evil man!'' thought J. On the bed, J turned her body to and fro, but she still couldn''t fall asleep. She then walked to the balcony to look at the night scenery outside. When she remembered what had happenedst time she hade there, she felt even more distressed; now, she really wanted to cry. She wondered what should she do next. ''Should I just forget about Kate''s words, and go on with Daniel?'' wondered J. But then she remembered that he had some other woman buried in his heart, and what''s more, that he had just hooked up with her because her mother had forced him to do so, and that he simply wanted to conquer her stubbornness... All of these possible reasons made J want to really give up all hope on him. A gust of wind blew over, and J pulled up the bathrobe''s neckline to wrap herself tighter in it. She then leaned back in the lounge chair, staring nkly at the night sky. The woman was unusually quiet, which made Daniel fail in concentrating on his work. In the end, he had to switch off his notebook. She had locked the bedroom''s door, but Daniel just tittered, took out the spare key from one of the drawers, and entered the room. But he couldn''t see anyone inside when he entered it! He then saw that the balcony''s door was open, and he eventually saw her lying down on the lounge chair. The man went towards her, and from a higher stance, he stared at the contemting woman. He said, "Jane, if you change your mind now, I''ll turn a blind eye on what happened during the daytime." Without even being conscious of it, Daniel had given J another chance, again. The woman squinted at him and then closed her eyes, avoiding to see him. Daniel then carried her in his arms and went to the living room, and he put her down on one of the chairs at the dinner table. When J sat down on the chair, the apartment''s doorbell rang. Daniel went to open it, and saw that it was Spark. After opening and closing the door, the man walked back with a stic bag in his hand. When J saw the Quan Ju Restaurant logo on the bag, her eyes instantly shed with a bright light inside them. The man noticed the look in her eyes, and heughed and thought to himself that in J''s eyes a delicious meal was actually way more important to her than he was. There were four dishes in the bag, including some meat and vegetables, and also two bowls of pumpkin porridge. Daniel put one bowl of the porridge in front of her, and J immediately drank a couple of sips out of it. They kept silent during the whole dinner time, and twenty minutester, the man finished and wiped his mouth. He was sitting opposite to J, and was silently watching J eat her food. J pretended not to be bothered his gaze, and quickly finished all of her remaining porridge. Finishing her food, J was about to clear the table, but Daniel held her hand and stopped her. She was puzzled by his action. The man then stood up, and cleared the table all by himself. ... J thought that she should definitely learn to do some housework, because it seemed quite odd for a CEO to clear the table. If it weren''t for Daniel''s ambiguous rtionships with other women, J really considered him to be a good man... But then she thought that even if she learned to do some housework, she would do it for someone else, not for Daniel... She silently turned around and walked back to the bedroom, and when Daniel came in again, he also brought her handbag. He then went in the bathroom. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. Staring nkly at her own handbag, J took out of her phone and called her brother. "Brother, are you busy now?" asked J. "Jane, what''s up? I''m just leaving mypany, " answered Jerry. J took a nce at the bedroom, and said, "I''m at the Southern Garden Complex now Can you pleasee and pick me up?" "Sure, I''ming right now." Jerry could feet that J''s voice sounded unhappy, but he didn''t ask more and promised that he woulde and pick her up. "Okay. Oh, and also please bring me a set of clothes. My clothes are all wet because of the rain, " said J. "I got it, you just wait for me there, " said Jerry. After she hung up, J just sat on the bed, with her mind nk, and holding her phone tight in her hands. When Daniel finally came out of the bathroom, the apartment''s doorbell rang. J initially wanted to go and open the door by herself, but when she took a second nce at her body wrapped in the bathrobe, she gave up. The man looked at her and his face became stern. He then went to open the door, wrapped in a bath towel. "Daniel, I''vee to pick up Jane, " said Jerry. He showed up at the apartment''s door with a bag in his hand. Daniel had only a bath towel wrapped around him after his shower, which made Jerry misunderstand the moment. But he didn''t say anything more, and Daniel nodded to him, and he entered the apartment. "Give it to me, " said Daniel. Then he grabbed the bag from Jerry''s hand and went back inside the bedroom. In the bedroom, J was hiding in the quilt and was waiting for her clothes. Chapter 158 Just Mind Your Steps Chapter 158 Just Mind Your Steps Daniel threw her clothes on the bed, and said to her in a low and deep voice, "J, what Kate told you was just to stir up trouble between the two of us. If you keep arguing with me and hating me, you''ll fall into her trap." J took the bag and opened it. A whole set of clothes had been prepared for her, including underwear. She crawled out of the quilt and took off the bathrobe in front of the man, and then she slowly dressed with each of the clothing items in the bag. But she didn''t utter a single word to him in reply, and Daniel grabbed the bathrobe from the ground and put it on him. J caught a glimpse of his body, and her face flushed red. Jerry hadn''t brought her shoes, so she had to put on thedy slippers, already prepared for her by Daniel in advance. Before she opened the bedroom''s door, Daniel gripped her wrist again and forced her to look into his eyes. He said, "Did you hear what I just said?" J lowered her head, and said, "Let me go and I''ll think about it." Daniel then held her chin and raised it, kissing her red lips. His kiss was imperious, and rude. Then he held her tight to his chest with his right arm. If nothing had happened today, Daniel definitely wouldn''t have allowed her to leave. After a while, Daniel said, "J, I will give you only one night to think about it. I''lle to your house and pick you up tomorrow." She nodded, and the man let her go and opened the bedroom''s door for her. Jerry was reading a book he took from one of the shelves in the living room. When he heard the door open, he ced back the book from where he took it. He said, "Daniel, we should go now." Jerry casually rested his left arm on his own sister''s shoulder, but the next moment his arm was pulled away by the man behind him. Jerry was puzzled, and turned around to look at Daniel. "Just mind your steps." The man simply spoke out four simple words. "..." Jerry felt speechless, and so did J. The apartment''s door was then opened, and again, Daniel said to J, "I hope that you can figure things out." J stopped walking, and Jerry also stopped and stood still while staring at his sister, whose lips were slightly curled up. He asked, "What things haven''t you figured out? If it''s about Sabina Fan, the woman who Sally already told me about, then stay here." Jerry knew about Sabina Fan, and to Daniel she was now just an old memory. Jerry thought that it was It was not reasonable for Jane to keep haggling over these small, trivial things. And what''s more, she should face and solve these problems when she was faced with them, not try to escape from them. J stared back at her brother, and protested, "I''m your sister, and I''ve suffered from injustice! Shouldn''t you go and punch Daniel in the face?" The man, wrapping his bathrobezily, leaned his body against the door, and kept his silence. Jerry took a second thought, and again persuaded his sister, "Jane, please think from another angle. Listen, I''ll analyse the whole event to you if you like. Imagine this: if you were to have a first boyfriend, and you had broken up with him and he had already got married too, and then one day, Daniel would quarrel with you because of him, what would you do?" Hearing these words, J became very angry, as she thought that the key point didn''t lie in whether Daniel had a first girlfriend or not. "Yes, it''s not a big deal to have a first girlfriend, butst month he still allowed his first girlfriend to stay with him in his apartment in America. And regarding Kate, he still was keeping an ambiguous rtionship with her, while he was hooking up with me. Brother, why don''t you consider my feelings more?" Daniel initially didn''t want to say anything, but at this moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Nothing ever happened between Kate and me!" Because of her pride, J had seen the rtionship between Kate and Daniel only superficially, but they had no private interactions at all, which made it even more impossible for them to have slept together. "Look, he''s not even admitting to what he has done. Brother, how can I continue to go on with a mischievous man like this! Is he your brother, or am I your sister? Why are you always standing by his side?" said J. J really didn''t understand why she was less important than Daniel in Jerry''s mind. "What if Daniel is already speaking the truth?" asked Jerry. Jerry coldly threw out this question, and he thought that the real problem was that his sister didn''t have any trust in Daniel at all. Hearing this question, the angry woman instantly lost her confidence, but after a moment, she managed to say, "Then why did he still live together with his ex-girlfriend?" "I apologize for that, I''m sorry, " said Daniel. He had to give in on this problem, as he thought to himself that he hadn''t dealt with it the right way. Jerry looked at his sister, who was still wearing an unconvinced look on her face. He sighed, and asked, "Do you still want to go back home?" ''Daniel is such an arrogant man, but if he''s willing to apologize to Jane, it means that he really loves her, '' thought Jerry. "Yes!" said J. No matter what they said, J still thought that she''d better not stay with Daniel for the time being, and that she still needed more time to think about it. Jerry looked at Daniel, and had no choice but to say, "Daniel, we''re going now." Daniel nodded, still keeping his eyes on J, as he did from the very beginning of their talk. Then, Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. when J moved a step forward, he again said, "Remember, I''lle and pick you up tomorrow morning, at half past seven." J suddenly turned around and made a face at Daniel. She then held her brother''s arm and went with him inside the elevator. ''I haven''t promised you that I''ll wait for you. If you can''t catch me tomorrow, that won''t be my fault!'' thought J. Daniel was looking at the ce from where she disappeared, and his eyes filled with joy. J got inside Jerry''s car and left the Southern Garden Complex. After the heavy rain, the city''s air was filled with the fresh earthy smell. Jerry''s car was driving fast on the road. "Jane, you''re my sister, and I hope that you''re sure that everything I do, I do it for your own good. You should know Daniel''s character better. He''s a cold man, but once he loves someone, he will never change his mind again. Just take father* as a best example, and you''ll know what I''m talking about, " said Jerry. He continued, "He can tolerate all of your shorings, and your bad temper, and you shouldn''t haggle over these petty affairs. Ask yourself, when you''re together with him, does he treat you well?" Jerry remembered thatst time when J was in danger in Shenqing City, Daniel had immediately And although Jane didn''t understand Daniel''s purpose for still keeping the rtionship with Kate, Jerry could. "If Daniel''s really not treating you well, I won''t say another good word for him, and I will even forbid you from meeting him ever again." Jerry tried his best efforts to persuade his sister. He simply hoped that his sister would not have to miss a good man who really treated her well. Looking outside of the car''s window, J curled her lips, and said, "Brother, I have never said that he treated me bad. Actually, he has treated me really good... Okay! Forget it! Just let me think about it!" ''But no, Daniel treated me bad today. He should have said ''up to me'' today in the office!'' thought J. "Okay, then who told you about Sabina Fan, and how did you know about her?" asked Jerry. Jerry felt suspicious. As he already knew, no one had ever mentioned about Sabina after she had broken up with Daniel. He now wondered how his sister hade to know about her. J gloomily opened her mouth, and said, "Kate was the one who told me about her. She said that Daniel had chosen her to be his girlfriend because she resembled Sabina in appearance. And Kate also said that Daniel didn''t love me at all, and that he''s just forced by his father and mother, and that he had no choice but to hook up with me..." J didn''t hide anything from her brother, and told him about everything. Speechless, Jerry tittered and took a look at his sister, and said, "You are so stupid to let Kate''s words have such a bad impact on you. You should''ve known that she always takes you as her enemy, and she told you about all of this just to stir up trouble between you and Daniel. Unfortunately, you fell into her trap." Chapter 159 Was She Trapped by Him Chapter 159 Was She Trapped by Him What her brother said now echoed with Daniel''s words, and only now did J realize how cunning Kate really was. She felt stupid that she had been hooked like that. J gritted her teeth, and said, "Next time I see Kate, I will give her a beating to remember!" J sighed, and said, "Brother, what should I do now?" She was drawing circles on the foggy window and didn''t know what to do next. "Don''t worry, this isn''t that big of a deal; you just have to get along with Daniel." "Okay, you''re right. I''ll think about it." ... Jerry wondered what else his sister was thinking about; he had already given her his suggestions. On the next day, J got up as soon as her rm clock rang. She quickly finished brushing her teeth, and the housekeeper that Samuel had hired was just about to start her work for the day. She saw J hastily walking out and, almost in an instant, the door was already closed behind her. "What happened?" she wondered. At the gates, J put on her shoes and ran to the garage; she got inside her Mercedes and drove the car out of it. It was about seven o''clock in the morning when J drove the car out of the neighbourhood. She smiled with delight, and nned to eat breakfast first and then go to the shop. It was still early in the morning, and the traffic on the road was flowing smoothly. J was driving very slowly. But, after a couple of minutes, a car elerated from behind and overtook her. J nced at the ck Cayenne with an unsatisfied look. She wondered who was driving so fast in the morning. Wait! It was a ck Cayenne! Before J even realized, the ck Cayenne had already stopped in front of her. A man dressed in a ck suit walked out from the back seat of the car. While firmly gazing at J, he plucked his hands into his pockets and stood next to the car. J was about to bump into the car, but the man still stood at his ce, motionless. At thest moment, J immediately pressed her foot on the brake. Her car stopped right behind Daniel, with only half meter between them, and the sudden brake made J bump her head onto the steering wheel. J rubbed her forehead, and as she pushed down the window, she shouted at him, "Daniel, are you trying to kill me?" The road was very broad, and although they had stopped in the middle of it, they didn''t cause any jam. All the people that passed by them had stuck their heads out their windows to look at what had happened. Their cars were, after all, Mercedes and Porsche, and they certainly had caused a sensation by stopping in the middle of the road. Daniel lit a cigarette and then walked slowly towards J''s car. He tly blurted out his grievance, and said, "You dared to not show up!" After J had left the previous evening with Jerry, Daniel had predicted that J would be disobedient to him, and so he also went to The Royal Mansion. Although he had arrived at Mansion No. 8 20 minutes more earlier than usual, he found that J had already left. J sneered and backed up, but Daniel already knew what she wanted to do. He threatened her, "If you dare to run away from me again, I will put you on today''s headlines!" J''s car then stopped. She sticked her head out the window, and asked, "And how will you put me on today''s headlines?" "You''ve abandoned me! You''ve slept with me and didn''t want to take up the responsibility for it!" Daniel blurted this out in a loud voice. He seemed very confident in himself, without even the slightest feeling of shame. ... J was speechless now. She stared at the shameless man, and asked him in a cold voice, "Daniel. Don''t you care at all about your face?" Daniel blew out his cigarette smoke and walked towards her with his polished shoes. He then clearly said to her, "I have no face!" He opened the door of the driver''s seat and leaned towards J, as she stared at him with wide eyes. They were in the middle of the road, in broad day light... What... was he doing? Daniel dangled the cigarette in the corner of his mouth andughed at her when he saw her bbergasted face. He untied the safety belt for her and then dragged her out of the car. He also took her handbag and went towards his Cayenne. Daniel tucked J in the front passenger seat, and told Spark, "Drive her car to the shop." Daniel then drove away with Jane in his Cayenne. He found a nice restaurant and took J to eat breakfast before they went to the shop. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. He didn''t speak to J, and J also kept her silence. After they had breakfast, Daniel stopped the car across Jane''s Cake Shop. J untied the safety belt, and Daniel asked her in a low voice, "Have you decided?" "Yes." She answered him straightforwardly. "Tell me!" J raised her chin in arrogance, and said, "If you don''t hook up with any woman in the next three months, I promise to start over with you again." "Okay, but I have conditions." Did he have demands? J pouted in displeasure, and said, "Okay, go ahead." "You will live in the Waterside Complex in these three months." Although she didn''t agree to continue their love rtionship, he had to do something to have her near him. J was puzzled. If she continued to live there, then Daniel would visit her frequently, and nothing would be different or would have changed. "Okay, but you are not allowed toe there!" "No, that''s impossible. But I can promise you not to sleep on your bed." They were ying word games again, and they even didn''t realize it. Not sleep on her bed? "Okay, it''s a deal!" J got out of the car and closed the door. She then turned her head and saw Daniel''s smug face. She was puzzled by his smile. Was she trapped by him? "Wait, Daniel!" J had just realized something. But Daniel ignored her, and drove away. J looked at the car vanishing in the distance, and she stamped her feet in anger. Why was it so difficult for her to break up with him. It seemed so easy for others, but when it came to her, there were so many rules! She had lost the advantage to him; Daniel was such a cunning man! Her phone beeped, and it was Daniel texting her on WeChat. "I have never agreed to break up with you, so technically you are still my girlfriend now! And Jane, don''t y smart with me. Remember to go back to the Waterside Complex at night." What? He denied that he had agreed about their breakup. "Yesterday you said ''whatever''!" "Yes, I have indeed said that word. But did I say that I agree on the breakup? Did I utter a yes or no?" ... It seemed that he was right. J thought for a while. Indeed, he did not say that... This rotten egg! J was so furious that she wanted to throw her cellphone away. In the afternoon, J received another message in WeChat from Daniel, that said, "I will be leaving for a business trip out of town for the next several days. You take care at home." ... Why did he have to travel so suddenly? J was a little upset at first, but then she felt delighted for the news. She didn''t want to see Daniel now, and it also happened that now she had some space for herself to be alone for a while. The next day J had to deliver the mango mousse cakes for the SL Group employees. She thought that they might have grown tired of this vor, so she changed it from mango to cinnamon on her own free will. This time she took the cakes to thepany all by herself, because she had also brought Shirley a soy-bean milk cake. When she reached the 88th floor, she directly walked to the secretary division. But she didn''t see Shirley at her seat. Miss Qin saw J, and she immediately stood up from her seat, and said, "Miss Shao, Mr. Si has gone out on a business trip." "I know that, but I''m looking for Shirley. Where is she?" With her eyes, J scanned around the division for Shirley. Chapter 160 Call Me Tonight Chapter 160 Call Me Tonight Miss Qin exined to her, "Miss Zheng is on the business trip with Mr. Si." J was surprised by her words. Shirley traveling with Daniel? She didn''t know why she felt uneasy when she heard this, even though she knew it was for work. She asked her another question. "What about Mr. Shi?" Because J was different from all the others, Miss Qin patiently exined to her, "Mr. Shi also went with them. There are five people altogether." Except for Mr. Si, Mr. Shi, and Miss Zheng, there are also two public rtions supervisors. Oh! There were five people on the business trip! J then sighed with a sudden relief in her heart. "Well, this is a soy-bean milk cake that I''ve made for Shirley. Since she isn''t here, you can share it with your colleagues!" J handed the bag she was carrying to Miss Qin, and inside it there was the soy- bean milk cake and some other desserts. All the desserts were made for the other employees, and it was a pity that Shirley had missed her soy- bean milk cake made specially for her, but J would bring her one next time. Miss Qin was a little embarrassed when she received the cake, because when J worked here before, they had often gossiped about her behind her back. "Miss Shao, it''s so nice of you to do this, but this was intended for Shirley, and we can''t take it!" Secretary Qin said all of this with embarrassment. J thenughed, and she thought that Miss Qin was too polite, and said, "It''s nothing precious here, just some cakes I made by myself. You can have a taste." Since J insisted, Miss Qin thought that she would act affected if she did not receive it. She epted the bag, and said, "Thank you, Miss Shao!" Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. "You are wee. Shirley is my friend, and if she ever needs any help with her work, I hope you can do her a favor!" J knew that Shirley cared about her job very much. She was a newer there, and J made up her mind to make more desserts for the secretaries, so they would be more willing to help Shirley out in the future. Miss Liu overheard their conversation, and she added, "J, you don''t have to worry about Miss Zheng. She is very capable, and that''s a fact, because Mr. Si decided to take her on his business trip. Maybe, in the future, we''ll be the ones that will depend on Shirley to take care of us!" Miss Liu had said this from the bottom of his heart. She was not ttering. J felt very happy that Shirley was doing great at her work, and she also felt very proud of her. She said, "Then I am rest assured. Thank you all, and please, go ahead with your work, I''ll be leaving now. Sorry for disturbing you." "Okay. Goodbye, Miss Shao!" said Miss Qin. The secretaries then waved goodbye at J. She went into the elevator feeling delighted, and after she left, several secretaries gathered together to discuss about her. "I really regret the things I said about her, she''s actually very nice." Miss Qin nodded in agreement. She took a bite off the chocte cake, and said, "I had thought that she worked in ourpany just to be close to our CEO, but I heard that she quarrelled with Mr. Si and shouted at him just the other day. It now seems that it was actually Mr. Si who was begging to be with her!" They immediately felt that J was lucky and happy, being chased and sought after by their Prince Charming CEO. "Yes, you are right, she is indeed a very nice person. She is very good to Shirley, and I heard that her family is very poor. But J doesn''t mind this at all, and she really takes Shirley as her true friend." Hearing all of this, Miss Liu then also wanted to make friends with J. Miss Tan, the senior secretary put down her sses, and said, "J isn''t aplex girl, and she doesn''t try to win people''s support or friendship through false ttery or other hooks. She just acts the way she likes, and that''s why many people don''t like her." "Miss Tan is right, but she is better than those hypocrites." Miss Qin finished her chocte cake and wiped her mouth. She said, "Her cake is really good. No wonder her business is doing so well. We should be nice to her when shee here again. It''s not good to act out against her." All the people enjoyed the desserts sent by J, but only Miss Tan was staring at the tiramisu cake in front of her. She didn''t know if she was wrong, and she often felt that Miss Zheng was purposely showing herself in front of Mr. Si. She didn''t know whether secretary Zheng was doing it unwittingly or if she had other intentions... Walking out of the SL Group, J received a call from Daniel. "Hi! What''s up?" she said. J smiled, but she pretended to have a sad voice. "Jane! What''s the meaning of you buying off my secretaries?" he asked. He ignored her cold voice, and there was a smile shing in his eyes while speaking to her. Surprised that he had already found out of her visit to hispany, J covered her mouth with surprise, and immediately turned around to look at the SL Group''s building. "Do you have a CCTV connected to your cellphone?" She had just sent the cakes to the secretaries some minutes ago. How could''ve Daniel known so quickly? "I installed a CCTV on you, " he said. Daniel waved at this informer, Spark, to leave., and he immediately walked out of the hotel room. Daniel didn''t expect that J would actually believe what he said about the CCTV, but J actually searched her clothes, and of course didn''t found anything. She then asked him, "Where did you put it? Is it in my hair? Is it in the earrings or on the bracelet?" She wondered how could Daniel be so cunning as to actually install a CCTV on her. "Jane, you''re so stupid you believed what I said!" Daniel put aside the file he was checking and focused on talking with Jane. Jane was really very stupid and naive, but she was also really lovely. He liked the way she was. Hearing what Daniel said, J realized that she had been fooled by him. She became very angry, and said, "Daniel, you bastard!" Daniel put a cigarette in his mouth and then struck his lighter, and he then heard Janeining about it in a loud voice on the other end of the line. "You''re smoking every day. Aren''t you afraid that your lifespan will be shortened significantly by smoking?" She remembered that recently, Daniel had been smoking a lot more frequently. Daniel smiled and put out the cigarette in his hand. He said, "We aren''t even married yet, but you''re so considerate with me. You''ll be great wife!" J blushed, and replied, "I don''t care about you. Whatever, you can smoke as much as you like. I have to hang up, I''m going out for a date!" "Who''s the guy?" asked Daniel in a harsh voice. J sneered, but then she heard a knocking sounding from Daniel''s ce. She thought that it might be someone knocking on his door, and she said to him, "You go about with your work, I''m driving now!" In a gentle voice, Daniel replied, "Okay. Call me tonight." When he opened the door, he found that Shirley was the one that was knocking. She also overheard the end of his conversation with J. "Mr. Si, these are the documents sent by our partner... ..." Just before J hung up the phone, she happened to hear Shirley''s voice, and she guessed that Shirley came to Daniel''s room to talk about work. Thinking of them staying in the same room together in private, Jane again felt a little uneasy for a moment. She immediately forced herself to forget all those unreasonable thoughts. Shirley was her best friend after all, and she couldn''t possibly think ill of her in any way. At the four-star hotel Daniel looked through the documents brought in by Shirley and then grabbed his coat. He said to Shirley, "Tell Mr. Shi that we are now going to the construction site in town." Daniel put on his coat in an agile manner, and this fine move made Shirley blush. Her heart was racing... They arrived an hourter at the construction site, and many workers protested by waving their white banners. Daniel didn''t tell anyone they wereing there; when he appeared in front of the workers, nobody there could recognize him. Chapter 161 Is This What You Wanted Chapter 161 Is This What You Wanted There were two mourning tents not that far away from them, and two coffins were quietly put inside them. Daniel walk towards the tents and looked at the families of the bereaved. Among them, there was also a pregnant woman, and she seemed to be extremely grieved. She leaned on the pir and was wailing, devastated by her loss. "Hello, " said Daniel. The pregnant woman then opened her tear-filled eyes and looked at him. She was daunted by Daniel''s manner of speaking, and in an instant forgot how to even reply to him. "Are you a rtive of Deal Fu?" asked Daniel. Daniel didn''t mind the woman forgetting to reply to his salute. The pregnant woman nodded, "Yes. Who are you?" Shirley came forward and introduced Daniel to the woman. "This is Daniel Si, the CEO of the SL Group. He is also the boss of the supervisor of this construction site." When she heard that the man in front of her was Daniel, the big boss, the pregnant woman immediately stood up from the ground and shouted at the protesters, who were not that far away from them, "Everyonee here! Daniel Si is here! We can air our grievance now!" Daniel frowned. Hearing the woman''s shouting, tens of workers ran towards them, and they immediately surrounded the mourning tent. "Daniel Si, you finally showed up! You are an unscrupulous merchant, and you are treating people''s lives like dirt. You must give us an exnation, today!" "Yes! You are an unscrupulous merchant! We want an exnation! And that sly William, he even didn''t dare to show up!" "You are not allowed to leave here until you give us an exnation!" ... Daniel''s appearance at the site had stirred quite a sensation here. Most of the protesters were airing their grievance against Daniel and his partnering CEO, William Zhou. Daniel stood silently, listening to every word they said. Finally, the protesters finished theirints, and everyone had their eyes on Daniel, expecting a reply. Daniel asked the pregnant woman beside him, "How much money did William give you as "We didn''t ask for money! No one stood out to apologize after the ident. My Deal can''t even die in peace!" The pregnant woman suddenly became very emotional, and she stared at Daniel with fury gleaming in her eyes. But she immediately looked away because she was again daunted by Daniel''s imposing manner. Daniel continued to ask, "What about Cedric?" Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. A construction worker reached out from the crowd, and griped bitterly, "That bastard Cedric only offered to give us five hundred thousand, but he refused to apologize. He said that he wasn''t responsible for the tragedy." At that moment, four cars drove into the construction site, and Cedric, William and some other supervisors came out of the cars and hastily walked towards the mourning tent. While still panting, William ran to Daniel, and asked, "Mr. Si, when did you arrive? We didn''t know that you came here, so sorry for beingte." He stood submissively beside Daniel, with his beer belly bulging out of his belt buckle. Cedric spat the areca nut from his mouth, and said, "Mr. Si, please go this way. We''ll handle the protest from here." His golden ne and golden ring were shining under the sun, and he was asking Daniel to leave and to let them handle the protest. Daniel nced at them with a cold look in his eyes, and asked them, "Mr. Zhou, what did I say to you before about this ident?" William wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at Cedric, who was standing next to him. "Didn''t I tell you to offer one million to solve this problem?" continued Daniel. One million? Daniel''s look became even more colder by the minute. Cedric thought that he was done! "Err... Well... We haven''t... reached an agreement with the rtives yet." Hearing what he had just said, several workers then immediately rose in rebellion. They became very furious, and they took up the sticks and nks beside them, and howled, "You offered one person one million, and another five hundred thousand! We don''t want your money now, we want to beat you to death! You bastard Cedric! You son of a bitch, you took our hard earned money and ced it into your own pocket!" "Yes! We will beat you to death. And William too!" Within just only one minute, the whole situation had skyrocketed out of control. The workers got exasperated, and they took up the tools in their hands and beat Cedric. A couple other dozens of people also started on William. There were so many people in the riot, and Spark shouted at them to stop, but to no avail, because nobody listened. In the riot, Shirley was pushed. "Ah!" she screamed. She suddenly leaned backwards and was just about to fall down on the ground. Daniel happened to stand beside her, and he reached out his hand and caught her before falling. Thanks to Daniel, Shirley didn''t fall to the ground. "Thank you, Mr. Si." She thanked Daniel, but she was still scared of what was happening. At this time, a stick was thrown at them. All the workers had now gone berserk, with their eyes burning red with fury. They beat whoever they saw as being their enemies, and the blow was obviously meant for Daniel. Daniel had just released Shirley''s hands, and Spark was pulled by several workers. He didn''t notice the stick over Daniel''s head. But Shirley saw it, and shrieked, "Be careful, Mr. Si!" She threw herself on Daniel to bear the blow for him, and the stick fell on her neck and on the back side of her head. When Daniel turned his head around, he saw that Shirley had taken the beating for him. Shirley spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face became very pale. She couldn''t stand anymore and was ready to fall down on the ground. Daniel held her in his arms. She fainted. "That''s enough!" The cold scoldinging from Daniel frightened the workers around him, and they immediately stopped and became silent. The workers who were beating William and Cedric had also stopped when they saw what was happening. "I came here today to solve your problems. If you had any requirements orints, you just had to tell me about them! Now my secretary was knocked out. Is this what you wanted?" said Daniel in his cold manner of speaking. His words were powerful, and nobody dared to utter a single sound. "When the ident first happened, I told William that money was not a problem. We should have apologized! But now it hase to this. Will you be satisfied if another person died for this?" After he finished his words, Daniel handed Shirley to Spark, and with some other people''s help, Spark carried Shirley to the car. "Now, everybody sit down, and I will listen to yourints. As long as your demands are within my ability, I will definitely satisfy them!" Daniel''s strong character shocked everyone present. Theyid down their tools from their hands and they sat down to hear how Daniel would solve their problems. Seeing that Spark had taken Shirley to the hospital, Daniel then gathered the direct rtives of the deceased, and he sat down with them to discuss a solution. One hour passed, two hours passed, three had passed, and finally Daniel took out two cheques and wrote the same number on each one: three million. He then led William and Cedric to the mourning tent, and they each lit candles and incense and bowed to the deceased. After showing their respect towards the deceased, Daniel told the pregnant woman, "We are very sorry for your loss, and when your child is born, I will bear all the expenses for the child until she or hee of age." Regardless of all the people''s surprised looks, Daniel then walked to the rtive of another deceased worker. He said to the mother of the son, "Aunt, we are truly sorry for this ident, and rest assured I will pay for both your pension, and uncle''s. I send my deepest condolences to you." The mother was moved to tears, and she held Daniel''s hands, and said, "You are a good man, and my son will rest in peace now. Thank you! Young man!" "We are truly very sorry for what has happened!" said Daniel again. What Daniel did won over all the people''s hearts here. They couldn''t find any fault in his actions. Chapter 162 How Did She Die Chapter 162 How Did She Die It was dark when Daniel had finished cating the family of the deceased with his promises. "I am sorry for all of this. We, the SL Group, unfortunately did not cooperate with a conscientiouspany. Starting from today, I will stop all cooperation between the SL Group and William''spany, and I will find a new partner to take over this project, " said Daniel. William turned deathly pale when he heard this. When he was just about to say something, a worker shout out, "Boss Si, I believe in you! I''ll also follow you when you''ll find a new partner." Many people echoed his statement. "Boss Si, we are also willing to work for you!" Daniel''s brows became smoother, and he gestured them to be quiet. "Thank you. We''ll look for a new partner as soon as possible, and you''ll also have a paid break these couple of days, and your wages will be paid dor for dor. I promise." They had worked here for nothing else but make a living for their family. Daniel''s act inspired many people, and some of the elder workers even shed tears. "Thank you, Boss Si!" "Thank you! Thank you!" Daniel nodded at people''s gratitude, and said, "My secretary is now in the hospital and her condition is currently unknown. I need to rush over now, you can go home." Everyone stood up on their feet from the ground, but none of them went home just yet, because Daniel had also said that they could help bury the deceased if they had spare time. Everyone helped to withdraw the mourning tent and lift the coffin. Daniel looked at the scene and then turned back to the car and drove from the construction site. Because of the limited conditions they had in the town hospital, they only gave a simple first-aid treatment for Shirley. She was then sent to Chengyang Private Hospital, as Daniel instructed. Daniel let Spark go along with Shirley and then went back to the hotel to contact his new partnering At eleven o''clock in the evening, Daniel got hold of his new partneringpany, and he discussed some important matters with the other party over the phone. After struggling with herself, J didn''t call Daniel for a long time. She simply sent him a message, saying "Call me." She had sent the message at past ten o''clock, but two hours already passed and she still didn''t get any reply from him. J felt depressed and then got very angry. He had promised her to call her. ''Why didn''t he call me till now? Could he be with some other girls?'' At twelve thirty in the evening, J couldn''t wait any longer, and she called Daniel to find out what on earth he was doing. She phoned him several times, but all she got was a busy line. ''It''s half past twelve. Who is he talking to? Could it be about his business? Definitely not! Who would still talk about work thiste at night?'' This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. J''s thoughts were in a whirl. In the end, she fell asleep at about two o''clock in the morning. Daniel had talked about business until his phone''s battery was drainedpletely. After he had finished arranging the partnership at past two o''clock, he recalled that he was supposed to have phoned J earlier in the evening. He started up his phone and saw J''s messages and her dozen phone calls. Daniel felt guilty that he was too busy to talk to her. He thought that she might have already fallen asleep. "I''m sorry, Jane, I was too busy working. I''ll call you tomorrow." After he sent her the message, he immediately started to deal with an urgent e-mail. J woke up at about four o''clock in the morning and saw his message. "Okay." She replied to him with one word and then fell asleep again. Daniel had just fallen asleep when J sent him her reply. The following morning At almost six o''clock, Daniel was still sleeping when somebody knocked at his door. It was the director of Public Rtions Department. "Boss Si, we have some problems." "What happened?" Daniel looked at him. "Deal''s wife is dead, " said the director. "The pregnant woman?" Daniel was shocked. "How did she die? And what about the baby?" he asked. The director told Daniel that she was already dead when her mother had found her, and that the baby had also died along with her inside the womb. The check that Daniel had written them yesterday was also gone, and there were rumours that Daniel didn''t want topensate them with that much money, and so he had someone kill her. Following the police, many reporters had arrived at the scene of the crime; they were all waiting for Daniel. Daniel felt that these rumours were just ridiculous. ''Would I really think twice of giving only three million?'' "I see. I''m going there right now, " said Daniel. The director helped Daniel pack and then they drove straight to town. Deal''s apartment was surrounded by many people, including policemen, reporters, and simple onlookers. All the reporters came up to Daniel when they saw him arrive. "Mr. Si, are those rumours true?" "Do you really have something to do with the pregnant woman''s death?" ... The pregnant woman''s mother, who was crying bitterly, came out when she heard that Daniel had arrived. "How could you be so devoid of conscience? How can you do such a thing to a pregnant woman?" Daniel frowned and looked at the old woman with her messy hair who was sitting on the floor wailing. He told himself to calm down, and then lifted her from the ground. "It wasn''t me, " he said. "Take your hands off me! Who else could''ve been?" The old woman red at Daniel as if he was her sworn enemy. Daniel looked at the reporters in disdain. "There are rumours that I have arranged for someone to kill her because I don''t want topensate them with three million. Do you really think the SL Group and I really care about three million?" His question made all of the reporters go silent. Everyone knew that Daniel was fabulously wealthy, and it was true, three million was just a hair off a bull''s back for him. "Would I take two lives at the same time just for three million? Do you really think about me like this?" He said this lightly, and looked depressed. Reporters then fell diffident; they all knew that Daniel had donated tens of millions to charity. A reporter then asked, "Then can you tell us why she died?" Daniel looked at him coldly, and replied, "I want to know why myself. Let''s waiting for the medical expertise first." The old woman on the ground looked at Daniel, and murmured, "It wasn''t you? Really?" Daniel raised her from the ground again, and replied, "Really." No more exnation were then requested on him. Chapter 163 How Could It Be Daniel Chapter 163 How Could It Be Daniel The news that Daniel had killed a pregnant woman had already gone viral on the Inte. And also, manyizens had reposted the picture of the pregnant woman, making things worse. By the time J awoke, the news articles on Weibo were in a full frenzy. She hadn''t seen the news until she had overheard the customers in her shop talking about it. She opened her Weibo and saw that "Daniel" was one of the top searched items. She read one of the posts, and it said that Daniel had killed a pregnant woman and her baby. ''What happened? How could it be Daniel? It''s impossible!'' J dialed Daniel''s number immediately. But there was no answer. She dialed Spark''s number. Spark was with Daniel. But there was no answer, either. And Shirley''s phone was power off as well, and by this time, J started getting worried. At that very moment, she saw that the official SL Group ount released a press statement through theirwyer, saying that the news that Daniel had killed someone was just a rumour and that it shouldn''t be taken seriously. "If anyone continues to repost and spread any other false rumours, Daniel Si will solve the matter through legal means." The statement made J feel a bit more relieved; she knew that Daniel couldn''t be a murderer. She didn''t know whether she should call him again, or not; she was afraid of bothering him. But she was in the same time really worried about him. Finally, J decided to personally drive to town. Two forensic doctors hade in town soon to examine the body of the pregnant woman. She was found dead on the bed, and there were no signs of struggling or any kind of injuries on the surface of the skin. She seemed to be asleep. Several police officers were collecting footprints or fingerprints, but the murderer was so rigorous in his attack that no clue had been found. The results of the victim''s blood tests came out an hourter. "The pregnant woman was injected with the B9S3 virus, once found in Green Cold Country. People who are injected with this virus die without feeling any sort of pain, " exined one of the forensic experts. B9S3 virus? Daniel had never heard of this type of virus in his entire life. He let the director fetch his phone and directly dialed a number, regardless of the many missed calls and messages that were disyed on his phone. "Where are you now? Could you please help me Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. check the B9S3 virus? Yeah... including who bought it." Then Daniel dialed some other numbers. The town they were in wasn''t like the urban areas, where everything was monitored. Here, they had no surveince, and there was no way to know who had been here andmitted the atrocious deed. Daniel even thought that, if he only relied on the local policemen, he would get the answer only until next year. He walked out of the house to smoke in a corner, and next to him sat a grizzled old man. Daniel put his phone back and handed him a cigarette. "Thank you, young man." Daniel lighted his cigarette in silence and then resumed talking on the phone again. "How are things? William is gone?" he asked. Daniel pressed on his cigarette filter with his fingertips. ''Why did William disappear all of a sudden? He should be asking forpensations and penalties.'' "OK, I see. Try to start the construction as soon as possible." After he ended the call, he stood his ground and thought of something. "Young man, are you Daniel Si?" asked the old man. He looked back and nodded, and said, "Yes, I am." "I know who entered their house." Daniel paused when he heard him. He stubbed out his cigarette and then walked towards the old man. At that very moment, something shed in front of his eyes. Daniel quickly lifted his leg and kicked off the dagger that was flying to the old man. The sharp noise here soon alerted many people. The man with the dagger had been subdued by Daniel when the policemen rushed over. "He was the one that entered their house at four o''clock this morning." The old man wasn''t scared at all, and he calmly identified the man. The man on the ground was handcuffed, and Daniel looked at him, and snapped, "Why?" The man kept silent. "He is a mute, living in the next vige." The old man''s words elevated him in Daniel''s eyes. The policemen fetched for the mute a piece of paper and a pen, but he just stood still, with reaction. "Was it you who killed the pregnant Fancy?" asked the policeman. He nodded. Daniel was confused. He whispered to the old man, "Did he know the pregnant woman?" The old man shook his head. "I don''t know neither, but I do know that he is a responsible son. His mother is rather old now." ''Could it be that someone used his old mother as leverage to manipte him?'' thought Daniel. The policemen took the mute to the station, to avoid any other idents. While he was talking with the old man, Daniel heard someone calling his name. "Daniel!" When he looked back, he was surprised by the girl dressed in pink. J trotted towards him with a smile painted all over her face. When she was just three meters away from him, a man rushed out of the alley and stood in front of her. Daniel then clenched his hands into fists. People all around them were all scared, and were shouting. "Weapons! He has weapons!" "Ooh! Run! Everybody run!" The crowd broke up in a hubbub, fearing that they would be hurt by his weapons. J felt a gun pressed on her head and stood still. Cedric Xu was threatening J with a weapon right in front of Daniel. Three policemen and J''s bodyguards immediately took out their guns and pointed them at Cedric. Daniel was furious. "What do you want?" Cedric loaded the gun, which made Daniel''s heart jolt for a second, but he had to make himself look calm. "William ran away and left me here to bear the me for him. You let me go and I''ll let her go..." Cedric was then stopped by Daniel''s yell. "J!" And then Cedric was thrown up into the air. His gun flew out of his arm and then he fell on the ground. While he was speaking, J had given Cedric a perfect shoulder throw with all her strength. Cedric''s weapon discharged on the car window. And one of J''s bodyguards shot Cedric on his wrist, and his weapon fell to the ground. "Ouch!" Cedric screamed out in pain; he was in too much pain to say anything else. Chapter 164 Specific Uneasiness Overpowering Her Chapter 164 Specific Uneasiness Overpowering Her Daniel held Jane tight to his breast. When Cedric wanted to grab the pistol with his uninjured hand, Daniel violently stepped on his wrist with his foot, breaking it, and making Cedric screech with great pain. After kicking the pistol away, he held his woman tight in his arms, and kicked Cedric in the stomach with full strength. Held tight by Daniel in his arms and hearing Cedric screaming from the ground, J had no idea what he had done to Cedric. Thest thing that Cedric should''ve done was to try holding J hostage. If he hadn''t tried this stunt, Cedric would have gone behind bars without his arms and legs broken. Two PR supervisors there were startled by Daniel''s fury. They even felt lucky that Daniel was usually inclined to punish people just with eyes, when he was in a bad mood. But, judging from what had happened, they had no doubt that Daniel would have killed Cedric in a blink of an eye if homicide were legal. Cedric was then taken away, and Daniel lifted J to his chest and ced her in the backseat of the car. He then took a seat beside her. Before she could utter a single word, her lips were pressed by his. His kiss was still arrogant and rude, and even more violent than before. She had intended to please him, but ended up being tortured. Her tongue suffered a lot. She grasped his wrists tight, with her fingernails sinking deep into his skin. The woman kept leaning backward, but he kept pressing down on her. She felt his kiss behind her ear, and said, "Well¡­ Daniel, let me go¡­" Hearing this, the man tried to kiss her again, but J immediately covered her mouth. Looking each other in the eye, they could both feel each other''s breath. Fury gleamed in his eyes¡­ The woman then withdrew her hands, and asked irritated, "Why are you so angry?" He gently touched her smooth cheek, and answered in a hoarse voice, "You should have filled me that Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. you wereing here." "You''re mad just because of that?" "Of course not, " he answered. He was still pissed at Cedric because he had dared to hold her hostage. He was still angry because of her rash act. J felt heartbroken at the thought that he didn''t want to see her. "I''ll leave then if you don''t want to see me, " she said. She tried to push the man away, but he wouldn''t budge. The man sighed and sped his arms around her. It seemed that he was powerless to this woman. J was perplexed; she didn''t know why Daniel held her in his arms, although he was still mad at her. "They''re using you of murder. What''s going on here?" J showed a great deal of concern while mentioning this. Daniel slightly smiled, and said, "Do you believe that I''m a murderer?" "Of course not!" she replied, without the slightest hesitation. ''How could Daniel ever be a murderer? He would never do such a thing.'' she thought. Her trust gave Daniel much delight. After all, she was his silly little girl. "I was set up. The police are investigating it." Cedric had been already caught, and it wouldn''t take long until William was also captured. Knowing that he hadn''t done it, J felt relieved. Thinking of the pregnant woman, she carefully asked, "Is that pregnant woman really¡­ dead?" The man nodded a yes. What a tragedy! "What about the unborn baby?" "It also died." He then sat straight and pulled J to his chest. Hearing this, J trembled, and wondered who would be so ruthless as to kill a pregnant woman. Things calmed down in the car, and hearing his wild heartbeat, J held the man even more tightly in her arms. They got out of the car, and Daniel kissed her forehead. He said, "I''ll take you home." It was a two to three hour drive from there to downtown, maybe even shorter. J wanted to refuse him, but Daniel had already asked her bodyguard to drive her car back home. J then took a seat beside him as he requested of her. On their way, Daniel told her, "Something happened to Miss Zheng; I''ll take you to see her now." "What? What happened to Shirley?" J kept her eyes on the man, who was driving fast. After a brief silence, Daniel said, "She protected me and was attacked by a worker with a club." ''Shirley received a hit for Daniel?'' Suddenly an uneasiness dropped on her. "How is she now?" she asked. "I don''t know, " said Daniel. After returning downtown, Daniel then drove to the Chengyang Private Hospital. They climbed to the ninth floor after asking where Shirley''s ward was. Opening the door, they saw a woman in a hospital gown trying to walk towards the tea pot. Hearing the door open, she turned back, and said, "Mr. Si, J¡­" Then, all of a sudden, Shirley slumped to one side, and J was so startled that she ran forward to catch her. However, Daniel reacted faster than she did, and before Shirley fell to the ground, Daniel caught her in the nick of time. He lifted Shirley to his chest and then ced her on the bed. J gazed at the scene with a specific uneasiness overpowering her. Lying in bed, Shirley closed her eyes, opened them, and then closed them again. She looked very sick. "Are you all right? I''ll go and call the doctor." The man stepped back, with his hands buried in his pockets. His voice was in, and although it wasn''t as cold as usual, it was still emotionless. J''s heart raced. She had always hated to see Daniel treating other women so nice. She couldn''t tolerate anyone, even if it was her best friend. J tittered at her jealousy. Shirley had got injured protecting him; how could Daniel now be indifferent to seeing Shirley sick? Having ovee her ill sentiments, J walked up to Shirley, and quietly and quickly, said, "Shirley. How are you feeling now? Why is your head wrapped in this gauze? Did you injure your head?" Daniel had already pressed the bell near the bed, and Shirley smiled towards J with a pale look, and said, "J, don''t worry about me, I''m fine." "Where''s Spark?" asked Daniel. He had told Spark to stay here to attend to Shirley''s needs. "He left to buy some food just a few minutes ago." The door then opened, and a doctor entered Shirley''s ward. "Shirley, tell the doctor if you''re not feeling well." J tucked her inside the nket. Shirley shook her head, and said, "I''m fine, I just felt dizzy for a moment." The doctor did a routine checkup on her again, and said, "The patient has suffered a slight concussion, which may cause her dizziness. But, if she rests for a couple of days, she will be fully recovered." A slight concussion¡­ J couldn''t help touching her forehead. She said, "Shirley, it must''ve hurt. You shouldn''t have taken such a risk." But Shirley shook her head and grabbed J by the hand, and said, "I''m okay, J, you don''t need to worry about me." She had done it for Daniel, and she didn''t regret it one moment. J nodded, and Spark also entered the ward with the food. After he greeted them, Spark brought the food to Shirley. Chapter 165 Daniel and Janet Made Up Chapter 165 Daniel and J Made Up "Take good care of yourself, and don''t hurry toe back to work. You can ask Spark for help whenever you need something." said Daniel coldly. Then he looked at his watch, and said to J, "Jane, we should go now. I have something else to do." J bade farewell to Shirley, and said, "Shirley, take good care of yourself. See you tomorrow!" "Okay, take care, J, " said Shirley. She waved her hand at them. J still felt worried about her, and spoke to Spark. "Spark, please take good care of Shirley." Spark promised her, "Miss Shao, please trust me that I will satisfy every need secretary Zheng has." "Thank you." J was still standing at the door, unwilling to leave. But Daniel grabbed her into his arms and took her out of the ward. "Bye-bye Shirley!" J pulled at Daniel''s clothes, trying to stop him. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven''t even said my goodbyes to Shirley!" Daniel replied, "I asked you to say goodbye thirty minutes ago. Why did your goodbyes take you so long?" J cared much about Shirley. "Humph! You''re so hard-hearted!" She then pushed him away because people were watching them. Daniel sped her into his arms again, and teased her by saying, "Do you want me to show my courtesy to other girls?" ... When she heard that, out of anger, J walked away from him immediately. Daniel of course knew what had happened. He chuckled and pulled her back, and then he whispered into her ear, "You know how much I love you. How can I ever give a second nce to other girls?" The sweet talk made her blush, and embarrassed, she rushed into the elevator to avoid him. "Oh, stop it!" she said. The young nurse in the elevator couldn''t move her eyes away from Daniel when he entered it. J also stared at the man, who invited love so easily. Daniel then turned his back on the young nurse and totally ignored her, and confined J to a corner in the elevator. "I have something to do in town. Wait for me at home." J rolled her eyes at him and grumbled. "Why?" she said, "I''m single now, and I''ll date other guys!" Daniel put on a serious face, as if to show his warning. "J Shao, are you sure you want to have an argument about our rtionship?" J burst intoughter when she noticed the young nurse''s face. The elevator then stopped at the first floor, and Daniel said, "I promise I will ruin the ce where you''re going to have your date." "We''ll go to the movies." "Then I''ll ruin the cinema." "Daniel, I meant that WE are going to the movies, " said J. Daniel chuckled, and said, "Wait for me then." Just his shining smile was attractive enough to impress the girls next to him. J noticed the girls, and she stared at Daniel furiously again. "Put your sunsses and mask on next time you go out!" It wasn''t his fault that he was so handsome! "Yes, sir!" J then looked at him and put on a sweet smile. Daniel drove her to the shop, and then went back to town to finish his work. And this time, Daniel didn''t forget to call her at night. The two lovebirds chatted for one hour straight. "Where are you?" asked Daniel. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. "At my home." "Why didn''t you go to our home?"ined Daniel. ... The words "our home" made J shyly roll on the bed. "Hey, remember whose house it is! It''s mine! I just took you in out of kindness." ''She took me in?'' Daniel wondered since when had he been reduced to lodging? He then said, "No matter whose house it is, I will make it ours one day!" "Humph. If only you behave well. If you don''t, then that''s not possible!" said J shyly. She then dropped her head into her hands. His deep voice was pleasant to hear. "I know you have that one condition! I''ll do as you asked!" He chuckled as he thought at this. Three months of not dating? That was easy for him, because she was the only one he loved. His promise made J happy, but she still pretended to be unsatisfied. "Now that you''ve mentioned it, I think my condition is not that challenging at all." "Then why should you be more demanding? If you scare me away, how can you ever find another excellent boyfriend like me?" Daniel took out a cigarette, but before he lit it, he remembered her warning, and he put it back in the pack right away. "Huh, since when did a prideful guy like you began to be afraid?" she teased. "When am I ever afraid?" he asked her. But indeed, earlier today, when Cedric had held the gun against her head, he had been afraid... Suddenly, E knocked at the door. "Jane, are you sleeping?" J then hastily lowered her voice. "I have to go. My mother''sing!" Her whispering voice made him unhappy. Was she afraid that he would somehow embarrass her? "Why are you afraid of chatting with me in front of your mother?" "No, I didn''t mean it like that, but I really have to go now! I''ll call you back tomorrow. Good night!" She then rolled out of bed and was just about to open the door for her mother. "Well, call me first, " said Daniel. J was confused. "What?" "You remember how you called me that night, on the bed?" Daniel was teasing her. J blushed, and shouted, "No way!" "Then I won''t allow you to hang up the phone." E knocked the door again, and behind it, said, "J, I know you are awake. What are you doing! Open the door!" "Fine, fine, fine!" J then buried herself under the covers, and called him shyly, "Dear husband." They weren''t even married yet! Why did he always have to force her to call him like that! "Well, my good girl, good night!" Daniel was happy and satisfied now. J quickly hung up the phone and then opened the door for E. "Mother, what are you doing? It''ste!" said J. E leaned forward inside, as if she were expecting to find something inside J''s bedroom. "Why didn''t you open the door? What are you hiding?" She honestly replied, "I was chatting over the phone." "With whom?" E gazed at her daughter seriously, expecting her to say something. "With Daniel!" finally said J. E was ecstatic about her answer, and she had intended to ask about it. "Have the two of you made up?" She had heard that they had been having quarrels for some time, and now having the opportunity, she hastened to ask her about their rtion. J threw herself to bed, and proudly said, "Kind of!" She then said to herself, ''But first he must behave well.'' E sat on the edge of the bed, and asked, "What do you mean?" Chapter 166 I Miss You too Chapter 166 I Miss You too "It''s nothing, mom, don''t worry too much about it. We''re good now. Just go and hold your husband in bed, and have nice dreams." J Shao gave her a definite answer to stop her from further questioning. But E Bo opened her mouth again, and said, "Tell me the truth." J had no choice but to take out her phone and show her call record with Daniel. "See? It''s an hour and thirty-six seconds. How could a fightst that long?" E rejoiced for a moment, but then curled her lips, and said, "It may be impossible for all the others, but for a capricious girl like you, it''s fully possible." What a speechless situation! Jumping up from her bed, J pushed her out of her room, and said, "Mom, go get your beauty sleep, or else Samuel will abandon you!" "He wouldn''t dare!" She was forced to enter her own room by her own daughter. J said hello to Samuel, who was lying on the bed. "Come on dad, " she said, "Coax your wife to go to sleep." "Okay." Samuel, waving his hands at his wife, uncovered his quilt, and said, "Come on, sweetheart." E stared at him, and said, "Be serious, J is here." Jughed, and then closed the door. After returning to her room, J thought of the love between her parents. She hoped that in the future she would get along with Daniel just like they did with each other. The following day, J begged E to cook soup, and then took it to the hospital for Shirley. J didn''t go to the shop until she saw Shirley drink all of it. With her smile fading away, Shirley looked at J''s back, and she wished that J and Daniel weren''t in love. Daniel had already returned downtown before Sven''s wedding ceremony. Knowing that Daniel would go back to thepany tomorrow, Shirley determined to leave the hospital in advance, and begin her work on the next day. After seven o''clock in the evening J changed her clothes, and left the shop, and she remembered that her grandma had asked her to drop by if she got off work early today. She thought that she had no appointments for tonight, and decided to go to the old house. After opening the car''s door, she heard her phone''s ringtone. When she saw who was calling, the women cheerfully squinted her eyes, and said, "Mr. Si, aren''t you working?" "Turn around." ''Ah?'' J looked back along the road and saw a Maybach. The door of the Maybach was then opened, and a tall man got out of the car. He looked at her affectionately and gave her a smile. J took a deep breath, hung up the phone, closed the door, and strode towards him. Within just a few meters left, J ran to him, and the man stretched out his arms to catch in them the woman running to him. A brief separation makes a couple fall even more in love. At this moment, J fully apprehended what it really meant. Holding him tightly, J felt the man''s familiar scent, which overwhelmed her for quite a while. Ignoring all the other people, Daniel lowered his head and kissed the woman in his arms on her red lips. It was already dark, and the faces of the two hugging were barely visible. However, the love atmosphere that they emanated around them could be easily observed. Their kiss was not overbearing, but affectionate and fast. The man stopped kissing, and in a low voice, said, "Did you miss me?" Totally immersed in his scent, the woman said with a slight breath, "You tell me first." The man suddenly became silent, and without smiling, getting closer to her ear, said, "Jane, I''ve missed you very, very much." J flushed, and lowering her head, she whispered, "I''ve missed you too." Daniel lifted the woman to his chest and then, with a smile, ced her on the front passenger''s seat and tightened her safety belt. They drove to the western part of the city, and eventually stopped in front of a restaurant. Entering the lift, they pressed the top storey button, arriving at the 66th floor. The lights were dim and music sounded in the restaurant. When they arrived, some ushering beauties greeted them at the entrance, "Good evening, Mr. Si. Wee to our restaurant." Daniel nodded gently and entered the restaurant holding J''s hand. ''What''s going on? It''s dinner time, but how could it possible that no one is in here already?'' pondered Jane. Guided by the restaurant manager, they walked towards the central table of the restaurant. There was a white cloth on the table with fresh pink roses put in the middle, and with also two European candlesticks and a bottle of good red wine. ''Daniel took me here to have a candlelight dinner?'' she wondered. Her favorite pink roses were there, on the table. Overjoyed and in a good mood, J merrily smelt the sweet fragrance of the pretty roses. Daniel drew back the chair for her, and didn''t sit until she did. Two gilded menus were then ced in front of them. The manager stood next to the table, waiting for their order, while the waiter beside him meticulously poured wine in their sses. "Hello, Mr. Si. Here is the menu, please have a look." This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. It seemed that this was the first time that Daniel had officially treated her with a meal; therefore, J opened the menu and read it carefully. "What should we order, traditional food or western cuisine?" she asked. There were chefs skilled in both traditional foods and western cuisine in the restaurant. "Order whatever you like. You can even order both if you want." Daniel put the menu aside and asked her to order first. J nodded, and said, "I''ll have the salmon and vegetable soup, pae, shrimp with egg yolk and cheese, baked beef ribs with ck pepper and a chocte ice-cream sundae." She closed the menu, and then gave it back to the manager. "Is that all?" Daniel put the ss of wine on the table, without taking his eyes off her smiling and bright face not even for a second. "Have a look at it. What do you want to eat?" J opened his menu for him. Daniel took a quick look at the menu, and then ordered, "Foie Gras Saute, fried egg with caviar and avocado, chocte truffle, seafood pizza, vegetable sd cup, and a French broli soup... That''s all." They had ordered this many dishes because the amount of each dish was small. The waitress and the manager then withdrew, and then a stunningdy dressed in a white evening dress appeared and took a seat at the white piano. Melodious, soothing music then flooded their ears. J took a sip of wine out of her ss, touching a pink rose. Suddenly, she thought of Bill, and said, "Daniel, could you bring back Bill from Africa?" Daniel stopped for a moment, and said, "But Bill is unwilling toe back." "How do you know?" ''Although Bill had told me of his refusal toe back, I still don''t want to see him live alone in some distant ce, '' thought J. The man inly replied, "Brian has already talked with me on this matter." ''What? Brian already talked with Daniel? Why was I so ignorant of this? Do they still contact each other in private?'' wondered J. "Alright, Bill is a poor guy. I will pay him a visitter, " said J. With her chin in her hands, she gave off a gloomy sigh. Daniel cast a sideways nce at her, and said, "You think that Bill is a poor guy. Won''t you take some pity on me as well?" "Are you kidding me? Why do you even say that?" ''Daniel leads a well-off life, and all the people around him want to please him. There wouldn''t be a poor guy left in the world if he were to be pitied, '' thought J. Chapter 167 Something is Missing on Your Finger Chapter 167 Something is Missing on Your Finger "No one is more pitiful than I am! Whenever I''m dating my girlfriend, she''s thinking of another guy." Daniel said this in a gentle, butpletelyining tone. ''It certainly isn''t appropriate to mention of another guy in front of Daniel, '' thought J. She felt a little awkward, but then she held Daniel''s hand on the table, and giggled, "Forget about him! Let''s have our dinner." He took his hand out of hers and then held it. Thoughtfully, he opened his mouth, and said, "Jane, something is missing on your finger." She was confused and looked at her hand. ''Is he referring to my manicure?'' "I removed my nail polish a few days ago, but I n to..." J then suddenly stopped speaking. She was too stunned to say another word more when she saw Daniel taking out of his pocket a small ck suede box, and from it a ring with a pink rose stone in it. ... Daniel ced the ring on her finger, and just like that, a pink rose diamond, J''s favorite color, appeared on her hand. "You... I... You... It''s..." J looked at the ring and was trying to speak out some words but she couldn''t utter a whole sentence. ''Is Daniel proposing to me? For the second time?'' "J, from now on you are mine." Daniel didn''t let go of her hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at her. He lifted her hand and kissed it, and said, "Don''t turn me down again." It was his mistake that the first marriage proposal had failed. It was not romantic and formal enough. He hadn''t prepared in advance for this proposal either. He initially had wanted to propose to her on her birthday. But hecked the patience to wait any longer, because the feelings between them had ripened deeper and deeper over the course of thest few days. Daniel, who had been always calm and patient, was now eager and restless, and couldn''t wait any longer to have her. J took a deep breath. She stopped looking at the ring, and instead looked at the man sitting opposite to her. He was serious, handsome, and she soon became totally lost, immersedpletely in his charm. She lowered her voice, and deliberatelyined to him, "I thought that we''ve agreed to give me three months to consider the whole thing. Have you forgotten already?" His big hand held her small one. He said, "Jane, I can only agree that we have our wedding three months from now. This is my final concession on the matter." J was surprised and happy at his childish eagerness. She raised his hand and kissed it to show her feelings. Daniel smiled, and asked, "Jane, please tell me." "What should I tell you?" She was so nervous that she withdrew her hand and, in an attempt to reduce the overwhelming stress that fell upon her, took a swig of red wine out of the ss. "Dear, please tell me if it''s a yes or no." He held her hand to stop her from chugging the whole ss. The sudden surprise left J dazed and confused. She lowered her head slightly to the side to hide her red face. She fondled the diamond ring on her finger, and said in a low voice, "I''ve already kissed you." The kiss had shown that she had agreed to marry him, but he still insisted that she say yes. What a rascal! The waiter began serving their food, and Daniel decided to slow down for the time being. It didn''t matter that much saying yes right now, and he thought that he would hear her say itter in the night anyway. Daniel put the fried egg with caviar and avocado on J''s dish along with some sliced foie gras and all the truffles. "What about you? What will you have?" She looked curiously at the dishes he put in front of her. "Eat first, until you''re full." ... Was Daniel going to go bankrupt? He had nothing for himself. "You should eat, too. I''ll pay for the bill." J then put some food on his dish. Daniel was confused, "Why do you want to pay the bill?" "Uh, because yourpany is not doing too welltely?" J had asked cautiously. After all, he had to pay several millions topensate for the family of the dead just a few days ago. Daniel fixed his eyes on her face and pondered her words; he had a general idea of what she was thinking about. He was a little frustrated at her thought, and asked, "What''s on your mind? Take your time and eat as much as you want. I can afford eating here every day, if you want." ... J was stunned. Didn''t he go bankrupt? "So why are you too mean to eat something yourself?" ... ''Too mean to eat? Jane''s thoughts are quite different from the others, '' he thought. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. "Can you finish all of the dishes?" He replied to her with another question. J looked at the dishes on the table and shook her head. "That''s right, and I don''t have the habit of wasting." He could eat after she did. J didn''t know what to say. This meant that she could choose any dishes that she liked to eat and he would finish eating all of the dishes that she didn''t like. J felt warm in her heart, and Daniel looked cool and indifferent, but was actually kind, and warm- hearted. How sweet he was! Daniel was cutting the beef ribs for her. "What are you still thinking about? Time to eat, " he said. "Daniel." "Uh?" "Yes! I will marry you!" She happily stretched out her hand and showed the pink diamond ring shining in the light to him. Daniel knew what she meant, and he began to smile from the bottom of his heart. "Yes, dear, now let''s eat!" He put the sliced beef ribs on her dish and began to eat the foie gras that she gave him. Daniel couldn''t drive anymore because he had drunk too much red wine. He asked one of his guards to drive them to the Waterside Complex. Inside the car, J called her grandma and mother to tell them that she wouldn''t being home tonight. The moment E heard Jane''s words, she understood Jane''s ns. She intended to stay with Daniel tonight, and because Nicole''s wedding was on it''s way, it was no wonder that her brother, Daniel, had returned from business trips. "Well, Jane, are you nning on having babies now?" E suddenly uttered this bewildering quesion. J nced at the man besides nervously, her face instantly flushing red. However, Daniel''s raised eyebrow showed that he had somehow overheard their conversation over the telephone. J quickly put the telephone on her right ear, and while lowering her voice, said, "Mom, what are you saying?" "You''re often with Daniel. Am I wrong to ask a question like this? You girls should know the importance of protecting yourselves." ''Although Jane is 23 years old now, she''s not old enough to be a mother yet. If she bes pregnant and she decides that she doesn''t want the baby, the consequence would be unimaginable. Jane should know the importance of protecting herself before some terrible thing happens, '' thought E. "Mom, I know..." She spoke in a low voice. ''Every time we have sex, Daniel is the one reluctant to wear condoms. Daniel must want to have a baby. And since he wants to have a baby, I want one too. If someday I be pregnant, I will definitely give birth to that baby.'' "Well, it''s good that you know the importance of it. When Nicole''s wedding is over, remember to ask Daniel to decide a date for your wedding." Jane was too young to know about many important things in life, one of which was that marriage was the best protection for a rtionship. J nced at the diamond ring on her hand, and with a red face, said, "Mom, you don''t have to worry, he... he''s already proposed to marry me, and I... said yes." Daniel looked at Jane with eyes sparkling with love. E seemed to be very happy when she heard the news from her daughter, and briskly said, "Well, well, that''s good! Now I can rx from the stress of urging you to get married. I know that Daniel is a man you can rely on. Both of you enjoy your time together!" She then hung up the phone, and J looked at it and didn''t know what to do next. It was strange to see that her mother''s attitude had changed so fast! Daniel lifted Jane''s chin; her face was still red. This little girl got shy so easily! Chapter 168 You Are Always the Most Attractive and Elegant Woman in C Country Chapter 168 You Are Always the Most Attractive and Elegant Woman in C Country "Is there anything on my face?" She asked and touched her face. The man let go of her but said nothing. At the Waterside Complex J closed the door and changed into her slippers. When she reached out to switch the light on, Daniel suddenly pounced on her and pushed her against the door. "Wait-" "Sorry, but I can''t wait anymore, " Daniel kissed her so hard, without giving her a chance to finish her sentence. J was totally overwhelmed by his passion. She had no choice but to circle her arms around his neck and kiss him back. Their clothes were stripped away one at a time, slowly being scattered all the way to the bedroom, filling the room with distinct passion. "Jane, I love you." Even though one shouldn''t trust what a man says during sex, she was tempted to reply, "I... love you, too..." He hadn''t had sex with Jane for a long time after having been away on a business trip in America. Moreover, Jane had been angry with him. That night he finally had an opportunity that was too good to miss, so both of them tirelessly made love to each other. In the morning after, the man carried his sleeping lover into his arms and walked into the bathroom. The wedding of Sven and Nicole had finally arrived. The Si family first allied with the Shao family through marriage. Then, their daughter married into a family of doctors. Undoubtedly, the Si family secured a stable economic and social position in C Country. The two families were both old and well-known ns, whose fame rose as each generation passed. A When Daniel arrived the hotel together with J, all eyes were on them. The huge, pink diamond ring on J''s hand grabbed all the attention. When one of the reporters asked her whether the ring was presented by Daniel, J shed a mysterious smile and said nothing. Today was Nicole''s wedding day. She should not steal the spotlight, so she tried to keep a low profile. It had already sparked a lot of spection that the only daughter of the Shao family was going to get married to Daniel, the only sessor of the Group. If this did happen, their marriage would definitely be another exciting event in the history of C Country. At the inner gate of the hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Chuck, Mr. and Mrs. Harry, and the groom were greeting distinguished guests personally. "Jane! Daniel! There you are!" Sven saw them first and waved to them. The wedding was a happy day for him. It put a big grin on Sven''s face. At the sight of J and Daniel, a wider smile appeared on L''s face. "J,e here, " she said. She pulled J away from Daniel to her side. "Mother* !Father*" She greeted the four elders with a sweet voice and a big smile. Daisy held J''s hand and said, "Jane, Daniel must love you very much. You look blooming. Only love can bring such a charming smile and joyful appearance to one''s face." J blushed with embarrassment and replied, "No! Mother*, stop teasing me." Daniel pulled her back from L and held her right hand up, "Mom, Dad. Get ready for next wedding." "Wow, son. Well done!" L held J''s hand again andughed. Svenid an arm over J''s shoulder and said, "Bravo, Jane. How were you able to warm the heart of an ice-cold man? It''s impressive." "Well, Daniel. You must take good care of Jane." At the very start, Daisy had always wanted her son to be with Jane. But there had been no chemistry between them, so Daisy gave up on the idea. Besides, she was also happy to see her son with Nicole. "If you dare be unfaithful like your father, we won''t let you off easily!" What Chuck said made them all Daniel saw it. He took away Sven''s creepy hand from Jane and said, "You guys can keep your worries at bay. Jane, let''s go!" "Okay. Oh, Sven, where is Nicole?" J asked. She wanted to see the bride. Sven and Daniel were ring at each other because of Daniel''s rude act. As Sven heard what J said, he turned to her and replied, "She is in the bride''s suite, on the second floor." Sally and Jerry then arrived, shortly after J and Daniel did.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. Sally stopped J when she saw her, and they both went to see the bride together, leaving the two men behind. In the bride''s suite A makeup artist was touching up Nicole''s look. When the door opened, Nicole saw two heads from the mirror. "Jane. Sally. Come over!" The twodies ran over to Nicole hand in hand. "Wow! Are you really my sister?" Her remark made Nicoleugh. J patted Sally''s hand and said, "Stop being silly." Sally grinned: "Sister, you look so beautiful in wedding dress!" Although she had seen the wedding photos, she was still stunned by Nicole''s beauty. She grew more like their mother. "Of course, she is the most gorgeous bride in the world, " J touched Nicole''s wedding dress and started to look forward to her own wedding. She couldn''t wait to marry to Daniel when she saw Nicole having her moment. "Jane, don''t worry. There is no doubt that Daniel would give you a grand wedding. And you will definitely be more morous than me." Nicole really hoped that Jane and Daniel ended up together. Daniel and J had very different butplementary traits. She believed that they would have a happy life. "Nicole, stop teasing me. You always are and always will be the most attractive and elegant woman in the C Country. And I, a random girl." J was telling the truth. She could never have the same grace and manner as Nicole, who perfectly matched her reputation as the top celebrity in the whole of C Country. Nicole touched her hair and said, "My reputation is nothing but ttery. You are not a random girl. You are someone who carries herself well. You are just as good as anyone else who can act like a fair They had afortable and honest talk, and they both enjoyed it a lot. "Sister, you better stop praising her. Otherwise, she will get cocky, " Sally waved her hands, pretending to be serious. J pinched Sally and said, "You are just as annoying as your elder brother. We are no longer friends!" "Haha. Well, you better be careful. My brother would punish you then, " Sally talked with tongue-in- cheek. J blushed at once, "Let him try! I think your brother is afraid of me!" Hearing her bold words, the men outside the room couldn''t helpughing. "Well, how could you talk about me behind my back in less than three minutes!" An indifferent voice was heard from the outside. "Oh no, " J murmured and looked toward the doorway. There were Daniel and Jerry! The two men, wearing ck and white suits respectively, were leaning casually against the door and watching them. Chapter 169 Your and Daniel’s Wedding Ceremony Chapter 169 Your and Daniel¡¯s Wedding Ceremony "Daniel Si, how could you eavesdrop on our conversation? It''s a girls-only talk." Before Daniel could speak, J Shao stopped him byining. Daniel entered the room and teased, "We were not eavesdropping. We just heard you guys talking." ''The door was open. It''s not fair to be used eavesdropping.'' He thought to himself. He took J in his arms tightly and didn''t let go when she tried to free herself. "Let go of me. Everyone''s looking, " she whispered. "Ignore them, " Danielforted J. ''What''s wrong with hugging my girl in public?'' "Ouch, my tooth aches, " Sally Si suddenly yelled. Hearing these words, Jerry Shao looked at his wife with concern and asked, "What''s the matter? Open your mouth and I will check your teeth." Sally loosened her grip on Jerry''s hand. With a serious face, sheined, "They''re so sweet with This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. each other. I just can''t stand it." Jerry stood silently. J blushed with embarrassment. She pulled herself free from Daniel and unhappily said, "Sally, I hate you." The onlookers all burst intoughter. The atmosphere in the bridal lounge was light and easy. After a few minutes, Jerry pulled Sally outside to the corridor and trapped her with his arms against the wall. Sally, whose heart beat faster, asked in perplexity, "What are you doing?" "The bride is beautiful, isn''t she?" Confused about the question, Sally nodded without hesitation. Jerry kissed her on the lips and asked, "Do you want to be a beautiful bride?" Sally was stunned, but she hid her true feelings and replied indifferently, "It''s up to you! I don''t mind." Jerry lowered his head and thought, ''She never shows weakness, just like my stubborn sister.'' "Okay, Sally, I surrender. We will take wedding photos after Jane''s birthday." ''Never mind. Since I am a man, I should take the initiative.'' Looking at Jerry with a joyful twinkle in her eyes, Sally asked, "Why?" His face fell because he knew she asked intentionally. ''You are as cunning as my sister. It''s hard to win your heart. How could Daniel bear J? I am really eager to know.'' However, he decided to give up his pride and high self-esteem. After all they had already gotten marriage licenses. He answered, "Because I love you, I want to marry you, and I want to give you a wedding ceremony. Now, are you happy with my profession of love?" Jerry acted like a gentleman. There was always a serious expression on his face due to his job upation. He was seldom humorous or active unless Sally flirted with him or when they were intimate with each other. Sally was astonished at his deration of love. With her mouth agape, she was wondering if the man in front of her truly was her Jerry. Her glossy lips seduced Jerry. They made out for a few minutes and only stopped when a cough separated them. Sally pushed Jerry away and saw her family watching them. It was Samuel Shao, with E Bo and John Shao. Sally blushed with embarrassment after being caught kissing and awkwardly said, "Daddy, Mommy, you''re here." Jerry didn''t feel embarrassed. He pulled Sally into arms and said, "Daddy, Mommy, why don''t you go into the bridal lounge first? Sally and I have something to say." John grinned and teased, "Brother and Sister-inw kissed. How shameful!" Hearing John''s ridicule, Sally lowered her head. "Be quick. Whatever it is, you can discuss when we go home. The wedding ceremony is about to begin, " Samuel reminded them and entered the bridal lounge with a happily smiling E. Jerry took Sally''s hand and pushed open a private room. They went on discussing details of the wedding ceremony. At midday When all the guests were seated, the bride and the bridegroom appeared. The host of the wedding ceremony was Joseph Li. He became more experienced after hosting the wedding ceremonies of Samuel and several brothers. After Sven Si made a speech, Harry Si and Nicole Si walked along the red carpet up to the tform side by side with arms linked. Sven watched Nicole approach him with fascination. Quite arge quantity of people were confused about his deep love for her. After all, there was a big age gap between them. Besides, they seldom met because Nicole stayed in America most of the time. Harry gave his daughter Nicole away to Sven with a stern look and warned him, "Take good care of her and her baby." What Harry said confirmed the suspicion that Nicole had gotten pregnant. Harry protected his dear daughter strictly, but Sven seeded in making Nicole pregnant. The guests admired Sven a lot. "Father, don''t worry, Nicole is my true love, " Sven made a loud but firm profession of love with a bright smile. A burst of apuse came from the crowd when the bride and the bridegroom kissed. Daniel looked at J, who was pping her hands, with a big smile. Her happiness was overflowing, like she was the one who had gotten married. The wedding ceremony ended in sess. Someone uploaded the video on the inte, and the couple received many online blessings. At night, many of Sven''s friends were looking for some childish trouble that usually happened in weddings. Sven who had already drunk a lot persuaded, "Please give up the horsey. My wife is with child." Due to Nicole''s pregnancy, they went home after drinking. J proceeded to the vi with her parents, while Daniel returned to thepany. On the next day, Sven and Nicole went on their honeymoon. J sent a message to Sven on WeChat, "I heard you and Nicole are in Germany. Pay attention to her health. She gets tired easily." Sven replied with affirmation and added, "Looking forward to your and Daniel''s wedding ceremony!" Looking at these words, J smiled and answered, "You just wait. It will happen soon." After breakfast, she was about to go to the store, When E stopped her and said, "Come here, Jane." "What''s wrong, Mommy?" E handed over a lunch box to her and said, "Here, bring Daniel some breakfast." "Huh?" J was confused. "What ''huh''? You don''t know how to cook. You are too inconsiderate if you don''t send him some breakfast." E stuffed the lunch box into her hands. "Okay. Okay. I''ll go!" After leaving home, J called Daniel. He answered, "Jane." "Are you up yet?" J asked. Last night Daniel had a lot of work to do and slept in the office, but they chatted on WeChat. Daniel wiped his face and asked, "Yes, I''m up. What''s the matter?" "My mother¡­ She made breakfast and asked me to send it to you. Would you like to eat?" She stared at the lunch box and thought about taking cooking lessons from a chef. Daniel replied with a big smile, "Yes." After hanging up the phone, Daniel called Spark. But Spark had already arrived at the office, so he knocked on the door instead of answering the phone, "Boss Si." Daniel ordered, pointing at the breakfast Spark was holding, "You, finish the breakfast." Chapter 170 Get Married at a Registry on My Birthday Chapter 170 Get Married at a Registry on My Birthday What was going on? "I already ate, Mr. Si." "Go out and ask who hasn''t had breakfast yet." Daniel''s order was clear, and Spark, though confused, Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. did as he said. Twenty minutester, J showed up at the door of the office with a lunch box. Spark, then, realized what was going on. Secretary Liu had eaten the breakfast just now. Looking at J, Shirley was a little surprised. "Hello, Spark." J also waved to Shirley. Shirley responded with a forced smile. Spark pointed to the closed door and said, "Mr. Si said you could go straight in when you are here." "All right." J opened the door of the office and went in. As soon as the door of the CEO''s office closed behind J, the secretaries began to gossip, "The rtionship between J and Mr. Si is getting better and better recently." "Well, did you see J''s diamond ring on her finger?" "No. But they say on the Inte that when Miss Nicole got married yesterday, some reporters saw J wearing a diamond ring at the party." "So did Mr. Si give it to her?" "Of course! There''s no one else! Shirley, you have a good rtionship with J. Has she told you anything about it yet?" Shirley was lost in thought when secretary Qin suddenly touched her. Shirley shook her head, "I''ve been busytely. I haven''t spoken to J yet." ''J got the ring from Daniel?'' Thinking of this, Shirley''s heart hurt so much. In the CEO''s office J opened the lunch box for Daniel and two nice fried eggs came into sight. "My mom is such a good cook!" she said, "Would you like to have one?" Daniel cuddled her and smelled her, while she sat on hisp. They were only apart for one night, and yet he missed her so much. "No, I have already had it, " J handed him the chopsticks and the spoon. But Daniel refused to take them, "Feed me." ¡­ J red at him, but she still grabbed the spoon and gave him some soy milk. Daniel ate all the food she fed him with, like a child. J wiped his mouth and closed the empty lunch box, "Go on with your business. I''m going to the dessert shop." Daniel kissed her on her red lips and said, "I have invited some people over for dinner tonight. Wait for me at home!" "No!" She yfully teased. "Sweetheart..." He coaxed her. J giggled and kissed him, "Fine! Now focus on your work! And stop smoking!" "Yes, my dear wife!" Daniel didn''t want to let her go. J pushed him away, blushing like a child at the moment, "I''m not your wife yet." She took the lunch box and was ready to leave. Daniel took her by the hand and said, "Let''s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage on your birthday!" Oh dear! That surprised her. J bit her finger. Daniel had on an expression she couldn''t refuse to, so she nodded and said, "Okay." Daniel gave her a lingering kiss before letting her go, "Wait for me at home tonight." "Okay." She tidied up her clothes and went out of the office. The secretaries were all working hard outside. J quietly ran to Shirley. Her sudden appearance startled Shirley. J grinned and asked her in a low voice, "Have you recovered from your injury, Shirley?" "Yes, I''m well now, " Shirley patted her chest and said. Unintentionally, she saw the diamond ring on J''s ring finger. It turned out that what the secretaries said was true. J was really going to marry Daniel. Pressing down on her sad feelings, Shirley whispered to her, "Did he give it to you?" J looked at the diamond ring following Shirley''s eyes and nodded happily, "We''re going to get married at a registry on my birthday. Keep it a secret!" J and Shirley were whispering. The other secretaries could not hear what they were saying, but they could feel that they were close. Shirley had been absent-minded for a long time after J left. After work, J was about to leave at once. However, thinking that Daniel had the business dinner, she stayed for some time in the shop. She got a message from Daniel at around eight o ''clock in the evening, which read, "We have just started. Go have something to eat." J smiled happily and replied, "Okay!" She found a restaurant and ate some food. She wanted to tell Daniel to drink less wine at first, but when she realized that he might not be able to avoid it since he was there for business, she didn''t say it anymore. Past 10 p.m., at Sapphire Hotel Because the Shuntian project was very important, Daniel took it seriously. There were representatives of threepetingpanies in the dinner party. Poe Yi, who had the closest rtionship with Shuntian, had been listening to the other twopeting It was nearly eleven o ''clock, and Daniel had almost got the hang of it. He looked at the time and decided that the dinner was over. At that moment, Poe got up from his chair, picked up two sses of wine from the back bar, and walked to Daniel. "It''s gettingte, Mr. Si. After drinking this ss of wine, let''s all go back and think about this." The other people also realized that it waste, so they followed Poe''s words. Daniel took the wine from Poe''s hand and stood up from his chair. All the others stood up too. They clinked their sses and finished their drinks. As they all went to the door with their belongings, Poe suddenly stopped Daniel, "Mr. Si, I have something to talk with you about." When the others saw this, they left the room to give them space. Daniel put on his suit jacket and fixed his tie, "Mr. Yi, what is it?" Poe is an old fox in the business. Even though he hadn''t talked about anything tonight, Daniel knew that he had something in mind. But what he said had nothing to do with the project, "Mr. Si, do you know that I have a young daughter who has just turned 18 this year?" Daniel frowned, but responded, "Hasn''t she been abroad?" Poe Yi''s young daughter was well protected. She had always been abroad, and only a few people had ever seen her. "Yes, my little girl came back yesterday, " Poe took the phone out of his pocket, and showed a photo for Daniel to see. Daniel nced at the picture of Poe''s little girl. She was pretty and innocent, but he wasn''t interested in her at all. He became impatient and asked, "Mr. Yi, do you only want to talk with me about your daughter?" "Mr. Si, Ivanka is my most precious daughter, and I want to send her to you!" "Mr. Yi!" Daniel said coldly. He had never thought that Poe would sell his daughter for a project. Poe saw his expression, but he didn''t worry about it. He knew Daniel wouldn''t say yes that easily. He kept on saying, "If you think my little girl is right for you, please just let her be with you!" Chapter 171 Where Jane Always Nibbled on Chapter 171 Where Jane Always Nibbled on The more he said, the less sense he was making! Daniel ignored Poe and walked to the door. Daniel suddenly stopped and shook his buzzed head. He drank a lot tonight. He opened the door and walked out. Poe dialed a number and said, "Stop him!" A woman came out of the private room next to his when Daniel was walking out. Daniel seemed not to notice Kate and went straight to the elevator. In order to coordinate with some banks, Kate was having dinner with bank presidents. She didn''t expect to see Daniel here, so she walked toward him quickly. Suddenly, two men in ck suits appeared and said, "Boss Si." Daniel stood still, holding his dizzy head with one hand, trying to clear his mind. The two men took Daniel to the elevator. He had no strength to push them away. He realized something strange was happening. Kate followed them to the presidential suite on the 18th floor. Daniel failed to struggle out of their grips and was dragged into a room. Kate walked toward them, pretending to pass by identally. She nced at the room and saw a woman on a bed. Shocked, she covered her mouth. She had nned to call people save him. But something ured to her and she didn''t do it. Instead, she smiled with an evil intention. Inside the room After bringing Daniel in, the two men locked the door and went away. Daniel''s phone dropped because of his struggle. Seeing someone calling Daniel, they turned it off quickly. Daniel sat at the foot of the bed weakly. There was a woman sleeping behind him. Her beautiful face and pink pajamas reminded him of Jane. "Jane..." He came closer to woman subconsciously, with strange feelings overwhelming him. ''She is not Jane!'' Daniel retreated and turned back. But the sleeping woman hugged his arm. Daniel almost couldn''t control himself. "I''m feel ufortable. Please help me..." She whispered softly, but he pushed her away. He tried to stand up but failed. ''Shit! They must have added something strange in thest drink!'' Daniel was sweating. He wanted to find his phone in the pocket, but in vain. Feeling so hot, he took off his coat. Then, he undid the buttons of his shirt. The woman took off her pajamas and locked him in an embrace. Her tender body confused Daniel''s mind. He pressed the woman under his body, and hot kisses fell on her. An unfamiliar smell of perfume calmed him down. He turned back and yelled to her, "Piss off, bitch!" When the woman came close to him again, Daniel bit hard on his arm, where Jane always nibbling on. His mind was became a little clear when his arm was bled. He pushed her away with full strength. Blood dripped on the white bed sheet. Daniel wanted to call someone to help him, but he was too weak to do so. He fainted all of a sudden. Ivanka Yi saw that he was unconscious, so she walked to him and took off all his clothes. But she didn''t know what to do next, so she just slept next to Daniel. After midnight J couldn''t reach Daniel''s phone. ''What''s wrong with him?'' J walked around her room nervously. She called Spark, but Spark said the hotel they discussed projects was ast-minute choice. Daniel didn''t bring him to the meeting, so he had no clue where his boss was. Spark also didn''t know where he was. Sparkforted her, "Don''t worry, Miss Shao. This project isplicated. Maybe Boss Si is still talking to them about it." J was a little rxed after hearing that. J slept sound after working for a whole day. She woke up at dawn. A call from her mobile phone woke her up. She saw nobody beside her. ''Daniel''s not back yet?'' The phone was still ringing. She picked it up and said, "Hello." She didn''t know who would possibly call her at 6 AM. Her voice was hoarse. "It''s me!" The woman''s voice surprised J. ''Why did Kate call her this early?'' "J, didn''t you doubt about what I said before and still wanted to stay with Daniel forever? Today I will let you know Daniel''s true colors." "What do you mean?" J asked angrily and sat up on the bed. "What do I mean? Let me ask you. Do you know where Daniel wasst night?" J said nothing. Daniel still hadn''te back. "He was in Room 1806 on the 18th floor of the Sapphire Hotel. I saw a woman on his bed with my own eyes!" J was shocked and raised her voice, "Don''t lie to me! I will never trust you. You only want to break Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. us up!" Kate sneered, "J, Daniel is not faithful to you. I have told you that before, and I am telling you now. If you don''t trust me, then why not go and see for yourself? Don''t forget! Room 1806! There will be no one there if you arete!" Kate hung up. ''Room 1806...'' J dressed up and washed her face to calm down. Then, she drove to Sapphire Hotel. There weren''t a lot of cars on the road. J continued to speed up and soon arrived at the Sapphire Hotel. Many cars were parked, and a lot of journalists crowded into the hotel. J was nervous and unsettled. She followed in with the journalists. Two of the elevators were already on the 18th floor. J was getting anxious as the elevator she was on went up. All the journalists went into Room 1806. J''s face was pale, as she stared at Daniel who seemed to have just woken up. Daniel covered himself when he saw the journalists. He realized there was a woman beside him, so he covered her too. "Boss Si, it has been reported that you raped the daughter of Poe, is that true?" said one of the journalists. "Considering your status, you don''t need to force her!" "Or you''re just a rich, yboy who didn''t care." ... "Get out. Now!" Daniel was infuriated. Chapter 172 I Must Make You and Poe Yi Pay for What You Have Done to Me Chapter 172 I Must Make You and Poe Yi Pay for What You Have Done to Me The reporters were all scared and dared not to go on asking any more questions. But they didn''t leave, and they just kept taking photos of them. "Didn''t you all hear what I just said? Anyone who dares to expose what happened today will forever be my enemy!" warned Daniel furiously. The reporters exchanged nces with each other; they didn''t know what they should do next. Right at that moment, Daniel noticed a figure at the door. Though she had already turned her body This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. around, Daniel could still recognize who she was. Instantly, Daniel panicked. "All of you guys get out! Now!" shouted Daniel. The reporters were frightened by Daniel''s erupting shout, so they all ran out of the hotel''s bedroom right away. The bedroom turned quiet. While the woman beside him was still sleeping, Daniel quickly put on his clothes. He then gripped Ivanka''s wrist and pulled her out of the bed. But Daniel saw marks on her body and a red stain on the bed sheet. He was totally dumbfounded! He knew what the red stain meant, as he still kept the bed sheet with J''s stain on it in his mansion. When Ivanka saw the man in front of her, she screamed and hurriedly covered herself with the quilt. She asked, "Who are you?" Daniel''s eyes were burning with rage, which made her step back in fear. He kicked her away. As she rolled on the ground, Ivanka was extremely hurt by his kick that she couldn''t even utter a single word. "You bitch! I must make you and Poe Yi pay for what you have done to me!" yelled Daniel furiously. "I have nothing to do with this... I am the victim..." Ivanka managed to squeeze out these words, but Daniel had already left the room. Daniel''s car was parked outside the hotel, and when he went out of the hotel, the reporters, who hadn''t left yet, surrounded him. Daniel scanned around, but he couldn''t see J anywhere. He then randomly dragged over a reporter and demanded, "Give me your phone!" The reporter was so frightened that he hastily took out his phone and handed it to Daniel. He dialed a number, but nobody answered the call. After his fourth try, Daniel called up Spark and asked him to go to the Waterside Apartment. He gave the phone back to the reporter, looking at all of them there with his sharp, piercing eyes, and warned again, "Listen, I repeat. Anyone who dares expose and report what had happened today is dering a war against me!" Then, he found his car and drove away from the hotel. Daniel rushed to the Waterside Apartment and checked every room in it, but he couldn''t find J anywhere. Filled with rage, he slumped on the sofa. When Spark came to the Waterside Apartment, he saw the apartment door open and Daniel leaning on the sofa with eyes closed. "Mr. Si, " Spark cautiously called out his name. Daniel ordered in a in voice, "Ruin Poe Yi''spany as soon as possible!" Spark was puzzled. He wondered what Poe Yi had done to his boss. "Yes, Mr. Si, " Spark answered. "Give me your phone!" Daniel suddenly opened his eyes and demanded; Spark then handed him his phone. He dialed J''s number again, but her phone had been switched off. Daniel was now gripping the phone so tightly that the blue veins on his arm appeared vividly. "Buy me a new phone as soon as possible." He returned the phone to Spark and tried his best to calm down. "OK, Mr. Si, " said Spark. "Contact J''s father and ask him about the phone numbers of J''s bodyguards. Then tell them to take good care of her." Massaging his aching forehead, Daniel stood up and went to change his clothes. "Yes, Mr. Si. Do you have any other instructions?" asked Spark. He assumed that something serious must have happened, judging from Daniel''s reactions. "That''s it for now. I will handle the other things myself, " said Daniel. Daniel then went inside the dressing room and put on some clean clothes. He threw the clothes, which wereced with the other woman''s scent, into the dustbin straightaway. ''Jane...'' He was so worried about her. Before he went back to hispany, Daniel first went to the Royal Mansion Neighbourhood and knocked on Mansion No. 8. When E opened the door, she saw Daniel and said, "Daniel, what''s up? You''reing so early, but Jane didn''te back homest night." "How about now? Is she home?" asked Daniel. E curiously looked at him and said, "No, she''s not back yet. What''s happening?" ''Weren''t they togetherst night?'' thought E. Daniel lowered his head and said, "Yes, something happened. Mother*, if Janees back home, pleasefort and soothe her." "Daniel, what''s wrong?" E asked again. His face looked so stern and anguished, which made E worry about him. Daniel hesitated for a while and asked, "Can father* get in touch with Jane now?" He was still worried about J. He wasn''t in the mood to return to hispany before he could get in touch with her. E asked him to wait there. She ran upstairs to ask Samuel to call up J. Samuel called up one of J''s bodyguards, and the bodyguard reported that they were also looking for her because they had failed to follow her car as she was driving so fast. Things seemed to be getting worse. Dressing in his pajama, Samuel rushed downstairs. He held Daniel by his shirt''s cor and yelled, "What have you done to Jane?" Daniel didn''t try to resist and said, "I was framed by someonest night. This morning, Jane saw me with another woman in a hotel..." Before Daniel finished his words, Samuel punched him hard on his face. When E went downstairs and saw this, she hastily rushed to stop her husband. "Daniel! Your mother* and I had always trusted you so much that we gave Jane to you, but look at what you have done to us!" Samuel was so irritated. He wanted to give him another punch. "Didn''t you hear that he was framed by someone else? Samuel, calm down! Let''s find out where Jane is first!" said E. Daniel had received Samuel''s punch without any expression on his face and said, "Father*, mother*, I am really sorry. I will find out where Jane is." "Don''t call me father* again, Daniel. I will never admit you as my sworn son from now on!" Samuel scolded angrily. Daniel didn''t say anything and epted his anger in silence. E tried to cool down Samuel''s anger and said to Daniel, "Daniel, go and look for Jane." "Yes, mother*. I should go now. If you have any information about Jane''s whereabouts, please do tell me!" said Daniel. He then left the mansion. Samuel made a call to Jerry and sent for more bodyguards to search for his daughter. What''s more, he also contacted Brian. When Brian heard that J had gone missing, without a second thought, he immediately took several soldiers with him to look for J. When Daniel went back to hispany, he saw that there was already a new phone on his desk. He then dialed Jane''s number again, but the call could still not be connected. He then called in Shirley and inquired, "Miss Shirley, have you been in touch with J today?" Shirley was puzzled and answered, "No, I just arrived at thepany and started to work. Where is up?" Daniel lit a cigarette and said, "Okay, nothing then. If she contacts you, please do tell me first!" Shirley nodded her head and went out of the CEO''s office. On that morning, the photos of Daniel and Ivanka Yi in the hotel were still exposed and posted by the media. Daniel went berserk in his office and ordered the PR department to handle this matter at once. Soon enough, a lot of people had known about the news that Daniel had slept with the Yi family''s daughter in a hotel. Then, Poe made a call to Spark. Daniel answered the phone, as he tried hard to control his anger. "Mr. Si, I have given my dear daughter to you. Now, don''t tell me that you won''t take responsibility!" said Poe on the phone. Hearing his shameless and vicious words, Daniel said in a scornful voice, "What if I don''t take any responsibility? I''m Daniel Si! It''s my free will to y with any woman I want!" Chapter 173 Dont Tell her Chapter 173 Don''t Tell her "Mr. Si, I have nothing else to say. It has been said that you are a bad man. Now I know for sure that you certainly are." "Poe Yi, I will remember what you did to me, " said Daniel in a cold tone. Poe felt regret, but he still nerved himself up to say, "Mr. Si, I sent my daughter to your bed to please you. Allow mypany to join the Shuntian Project. If our twopanies cooperate, we can maximize the profit." As Daniel kept silent, Poe continued, "My daughter Ivanka was a virgin. But Mr. Si, you don''t have to worry about that. I hope you had a happy night. It''s okay if you don''t want to take the responsibility for sleeping with my daughter. Just allow mypany to join the Shuntian Project." A happy night? His Jane was missing. How could he be happy? "Poe, you bastard! I will destroy you, " said Daniel with his teeth clenched. After saying this, Daniel hung up the phone. ''If I don''t let Poe pay for this, I, Daniel, do not deserve to be called a man.'' Until evening, there was no news about J. Every avable person had set out to search for J. If they couldn''t find her, they would be forced to call the police. At around nine o''clock, Shirley walked toward home with takeout as she rubbed her sore neck. Just as she took the key out of her handbag, she saw a figure curled up at the head of the stairs. It startled her. "Shirley!" The familiar voice allowed her to feel some relief. "J, what are you doing here? Come on in, " Shirley opened the door quickly and led J who was a mess into the living room. "Do you know that everyone went all out to find you?" Shirley closed the door and let J sit on the sofa. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. J''s dazed eyes fell on Shirley. She repeated, "Shirley!" She muttered ''Shirley'' again and again and didn''t say anything else. After looking at her pale face, Shirley felt very sorry for her. Then she sat beside J and asked, "J, what happened to you?" Daniel had been angry all day at hispany. Many strangers came in and out of his office. The public rtions manager of hispany was busy dealing with a certain issue on the inte. But J didn''t know what on earth the issue was. J leaned quietly on Shirley''s shoulder. She didn''t know how to tell Shirley what happened. All the happiness and joy vanished at the very moment she found out that Daniel had betrayed her. ''I trusted Daniel so much that I wouldn''t give up loving him until I witness him betraying me. It turns out that all his loving words are worthless. He can''t keep himself away from other women for three months. He even imed that he was not with Kate.'' "Maybe what Kate said is true. Daniel never loved me. He is forced by his Father and Mother to date me, " murmured J. "But I have felt his genuine love. Maybe his heart is overflowing with love that he can give to a couple of women at the same time. Maybe he is a womanizer. He, Daniel, can y with different women whenever he wishes to. Nobody can stop him." Shirley knew what she meant and asked, "Did you have a quarrel with him?" J shook her head and replied, "We didn''t even have a quarrel. His action proves that he doesn''t love me at all. Even if he loves me, he still fools around with other woman. So ultimately, he doesn''t love me." "J, what did you see? Did you see Daniel hang out with another woman? He is not that type of guy. What''s wrong?" When J thought of the scene she saw in the morning, her face turned pale. ''Nobody deserves to feel such pain. You see your lover sleep with other woman not long after he said he loves you, proposed to you, and wanted to go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage license.'' "It feels like being thrown into hell from the heaven. My heart is unbearably aching that I want to dig it out of my body, " Tears were trickling down J''s cheek. It was the first time she cried since this morning. "J, don''t think about that. It must be a misunderstanding, " Shirley believed that Daniel was not that kind of guy. J shook her head again and said, "Shirley, I saw it with my own eyes¡­ that he was naked in bed with another woman." After uttering those words, J broke into a sob and was unable to say more. ''What? Danielid with other woman? J had seen it?'' Shirley felt very shocked. "J, don''t cry. Maybe he just meant to y with that woman for a while." ''y with that woman for a while? He has a girlfriend so he shouldn''t y with any other woman for any reason. I, J Shao, wouldn''t date him if he did.'' "J, if he really did something unfaithful to you, you shouldn''t cry for him. He doesn''t deserve your tears." J took the tissue from Shirley''s hands and wiped away her tears. ''Shirley''s right. Maybe I shouldn''t cry for a guy like that.'' But she couldn''t suppress her tears. She cried for a very long time in Shirley''s arms before she fell asleep on the sofa. Shirleyid her down gently. Then she lingered around the living room with a phone in her hands. ''Should I call Daniel?'' Shirley didn''t want Daniel to find J, but she longed to see Daniel. She also would feel satisfied if she hears his voice. Finally, she called his new cell phone number. "Hello?" Daniel''s hoarse voice came through the phone. Shirley''s heart thumped heavily. She went into the bedroom with her phone and said in a low voice, "Mr. Si, it''s me, Shirley." "Talk, " said Daniel unemotionally. Shirley wanted to say more, but his cold manner stopped her. She immediately got to the point, "J¡­" "Where is my Jane?" he raised his voice momentarily. Upon hearing this, Shirley''s heart ached badly, but continued, "I''ll tell you where she is, but don''t tell her it was I who told you." "Okay." "J is in my house now..." After hanging up the phone, Shirley was in a trance for a while. She opened her closet, took off her work clothes, and put on a sexy nightgown. Then she walked toward the dressing table, untied her hair, and let her hair hang loose. Finally, she picked the perfume which was given as a gift by J and put some on. The door bell rang in less than ten minutes. Shirley smiled bitterly. He came so quickly. When the door opened, Daniel caught a glimpse of Shirley, but he didn''t care. He simply asked, "Where is my Jane?" Shirley''s heart sank. She stepped aside and looked toward the sofa. Daniel stepped into the living room and squatted by the edge of the sofa, looking at the girl who was sleeping soundly. He carried J and just as he was about to go out, Shirley stood in his way and said, "Mr. Si, J is still feeling terrible." Pain was reflected in his eyes. He said with mncholy, "I know." "She doesn''t want to see you now. You see, she is safe in my house. You might as well let her stay here." Shirley''s words made him think. ''Shirley is right.'' He turned to look around the room and found there was only one bedroom. Chapter 174 I Will Find You An Apartment Tomorrow Chapter 174 I Will Find You An Apartment Tomorrow Shirley seemed to see through his confusion and said, "I will share my bed with J. When we were in dormitory, we often slept together in one bed." "Let her live with you temporarily. I will find you an apartment tomorrow, " Daniel took J in his arms and went toward the bedroom. Shirley hurriedly opened the door of her bedroom for Daniel and watched him slowly put J down on the bed. Daniel was very gentle and careful, as if he was afraid of breaking the girl. It was totally different from his usual cold manner. Daniel took off J''s shoes and covered her gently with a thin nket. "If she is still sad tomorrow, don''t go to work. Keep herpany, " He hadn''t turned his back on J. All this time he rested his eyes on the sleeping woman. Shirley pulled on her clothes and took a deep breath, "Boss Si, I can be with her andfort her, but it is you who hurt her. You bettere see her when you are free." Her words made sense, so without much thinking, Daniel nodded, "Okay, I will." He kissed J on the forehead and then left Shirley''s apartment. Daniel got back in the car and called Samuel, "Father*, I have found Jane." "Where is she?" Samuel, who was worrying about J, quickly stood up from the sofa. Daniel nced at the third floor where Shirley lived, "She is with her friend, Shirley. I have already "Is Jane okay? Is she all right?" "She... is not in a good mood, but everything is okay." He woulde again tomorrow. No matter what she thought, he would still exin everything to her. He was so stupid to fall into a trap and let such thing happen. However, he didn''t mean to do that. He really hoped that she could forgive him... "Daniel! You... Never mind! I will see her tomorrow." Samuel wanted to get angry at Daniel. But things had already happened. It was no use being angry. It was good that Jane was safe. Everyone could finally sleep peacefully. On this night, everyone had different thoughts. Daniel didn''t sleep. Instead, he smoked in his office and carefully nned on destroying Poe. Early next morning When Shirley woke up, J had been awake. "J, why don''t you sleep some more?" "How am I in the bedroom?" J ignored Shirley''s question and asked. Shirley rubbed her eyes to conceal her emotion, "I took you here. I was exhausted at how heavy you are!" J seemed to believe her and asked no more questions. "You can continue to sleep. I will go and buy breakfast for you." It was toote to make breakfast, so Shirley threw back the quilt and got out of the bed. J looked at Shirley''s back and absently asked, "Shirley, when did you buy such a sexy nightgown?" With her back toward J, Shirley froze for an instant, "When I and Walter... were engaged, one of my high school ssmates gave it to me." Mentioning her past, Shirley was indifferent. "Sorry, Shirley. I didn''t know..." J felt guilty and apologized. She didn''t mean to remind Shirley of Walter. Shirley turned back and smiled carelessly, "It''s all right. You can sleep some more. I''ll go buy breakfast for us." J sat up in bed, "No, I should go home now. I haven''t gone home for two nights. Mommy and Daddy must be angry with me." Hearing that she was leaving, Shirley quickly came to her, "J, if you go home now, aren''t you afraid of seeing... him?" J certainly knew who "him" was. She hesitated because she really didn''t want to see Daniel. If she went home now, Daniel might go to her home to find her. Of course, this was just a possibility. What if Danielpletely didn''t care about her at all? "Well, okay, I will wait for you here. You should quickly clean up. Don''t bete for work, " J went to the living room, found her bag, and took out her phone. When she switched on her phone, she saw hundreds of missed calls. Jerry was calling. J pressed the answer key, "Jerry." She was mad at her brother too. Her brother still spoke for Daniel at that moment. She heard the urgency in Jerry''s voice, "Jane, where are you? We were so worried about you! Are you okay?" Hearing his unconcealed concern, J''s annoyance with Jerry disappeared. "Jerry, I''m okay. I''m fine. I will go home in two days." "Okay, can I help you?" Jerry had a general idea of what happened. Since Daniel was wrong, he''d better not pressure his sister. J shook her head, "No, I will be back soon." "Well, okay. Call me if you have any problems. Never lose contact with us. Great-grandmother worried about you all day yesterday." J felt guilty. She did whatever she liked yesterday, but her whole family worried about her, "I''ll call great-grandmotherter." "Okay, bye." After ending the call, J called Melody. Melody felt relieved to hear that J was all right. Before hanging up, she said, "J, if you meet with any difficulties,e to me. I will always support you. Never go rogue again, okay? If you get hurt, what would I do?" J cried, "Okay. I understand. Great-grandmother, I''m so sorry to make you worry." "Well, good girl. I hope everything is all right with you, " Melody smiled kindly, as if she had seen the face of little yful J.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. J called everyone, who had called her, including Brian. But she didn''t call Daniel back. She just ignored his call. When J was making calls, Shirley gave her breakfast and went to work. When Shirley arrived on the floor of the CEO''s office, Spark told her, "Our CEO asked you toe to his office upon your arrival." "Okay. Thank you, Spark." Shirley concealed her happiness. She put her belongings on her table and went into the CEO''s office. Inside the office, Daniel was on a call and gestured her to wait, "... You must find Ivanka. Wherever Poe hid her, you must find her for me... Check the transportation stations. Once you find any trace of her, report to me immediately!" Daniel''s voice was so cold that Shirley got intimidated. Standing by the window, Daniel casually put one of his hands in his trouser pocket. His side profile was cold, yet handsome. Shirley couldn''t keep her eyes off him. "Well. That''s all." When he hung up, Shirley came back to her senses and immediately looked away. "How is she doing?" She guessed right. At this time, Daniel came to her for the most obvious reason. Chapter 175 Not Just Give Up My Love That Easily Chapter 175 Not Just Give Up My Love That Easily "She is doing fine. I brought her breakfast and some soy milk when I left the apartment, " Shirley hid her disappointment and answered honestly. "Em... Thank you. I have... I have asked Spark to find another apartment for you. If it is ready, you can move in today, " He wanted to tell her about the apartment downtown. He had changed his mind since it was a high-ss one, and Shirley couldn''t possibly afford it. If she did move in there, it would arouse J''s suspicion. "Move? Is it really necessary to move, Mr. Si?" Shirley hesitated. Daniel sat back on the chair and lit a cigarette, "You don''t need to worry about it. I will cover the rent. The apartment would be big enough for the both of you. It will be morefortable." The ce Shirley rented was good for one, but it was fairly small for two people. Shirley nodded eventually and said, "Thank you, Mr. Si." Shirley realized that Daniel had already taken J under his own wing. He was thanking her for taking care of J. "Here is 500 grand. If it''s not enough, you can call Spark anytime you want, " Daniel picked up the Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. check he prepared and ced it on the edge of the desk. Shirley did not reach for the check and said, "Oh no. Thank you, Mr. Si, but I have savings. It is enough for J and I." Daniel was so kind to J. Shirley was envious. "Take it, please. J doesn''t have any idea what things are worth. Just buy anything she asks for, and call Spark if it''s not enough, " Daniel knew J very well. J had no concept of money. Shirley actually spent more when they stayed together. "I will make sure that all of the money will be spent for J. Is there anything else, Mr. Si?" Shirley eventually picked up the check. Daniel took a drag on his cigarette, expelled the smoke slowly, and said, "Call me after she falls asleep tonight." ... Shirley was on the verge of tears. Why couldn''t she get someone like Daniel? "Yes, I will." "Umm... you can get back to work now." Daniel flicked the ash from his cigarette and started making phone calls. Since Spark acted quickly, he got the perfect apartment for them before noon. He told Shirley right away that they could move in any time they wanted. When Shirley got back home at noon, J still seemed a little depressed. She was talking to her sworn mother, "Yes, I know what you mean, Mother*. I will get home soon." Shirley brought her lunch and opened the takeout box for her. "Umm... I don''t want to see him again... That''s it." J took the chopsticks from Shirley. She was confused about the feast in front of her. It seemed that Shirley got lunch from Quan Ju Restaurant, but she was not the type of person who would go there for lunch. Shirley saw the confusion on J''s face and sat down in front of her, "Your brother told me that you liked Quan Ju Restaurant." What Shirley said cleared up the confusion, but J lost her appetite. Thest time she had a row with Daniel, the takeout he got was also from Quan Ju Restaurant. She put the chopsticks down and concentrated on the phone call. Her sworn mother L persuaded her on the phone, "Jane, don''t feel so bad. You should hear the exnation from Daniel first. He is a good kid. I am his mother, and I know it for sure." "But I have seen it with my own eyes, Mother*, " J did not think there was any other exnation for it. "Jane, I am not defending him, but what you saw might not be the truth. If he really wasn''t reliable, I wouldn''t force you to be with him. If you two do get marriedter on, but end up unhappy together, your dad, your mom, and even I would me myself for consenting to it. He can be trusted. Believe me." J nodded her head and said, "I understand, Mother*, " She thought that Daniel was truly blessed, as his mom always believed in him. "Jane, I am not just your sworn mother. I had always treated you as my biological daughter. You know that, don''t you?" L''s'' face was full of sadness. They were just talking about Daniel and J''s wedding the day before yesterday. J would listen to L because L had always been kind to her, like her mom. "Mother*, you always treat me well. I will listen his exnation...ter..." Jpromised. L came out of the mansion, adjusted her shawl, and got in the car with a driver. "Yes, that''s right, my Jane. You don''t need to think about it now. Just rx and take care of yourself. Don''t do anything stupid, understand?" "Uh-huh. I won''t." ''It was just a man. It was not worth it. I should keep living my life. Eat well. Sleep well. Don''t make loved ones worry about me.'' She made up her mind. After J put down the phone, she picked up the chopsticks again and started to eat her lunch. As she thought about what L said while eating, she started to believe it. L was right. ''I should not just give up my love that easily.'' J thought to herself. "Shirley, I have to go and find Daniel. Don''t wait for me." She should hear what he had to say and give him a chance. J rushed out of the apartment right after she spoke. Shirley failed to stop her even she wanted to. Half an hourter, a woman quickly walked toward thepany''s entrance. Even though she was over 40 years old, she looked like a 30-year old. She was wearing a royal blue shawl and white cropped pants,pleting her outfit with white heels and red limited-edition handbags. "Good afternoon! Mrs. Si." "Good afternoon! Mrs. Si." "Good afternoon! Mrs. Si." ... The staff greeted her warmly. Although L was not in the mood, she smiled politely. The girl from the reception walked toward Mrs. Si when she saw her. She directed Mrs. Si to the exclusive elevator after the receptionist knew that she was looking for Mr. Si. On the 88th floor All the secretaries immediately stood up when they saw Mrs. Si. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Si." they all greeted. "Where is Daniel?" L was impatient. She walked toward the CEO''s office and opened the door herself as she asked them the question. When she walked into the office, L saw Daniel with a woman. The woman wrapped her arms around Daniel and put her hands on his shoulder. Before Daniel could react to the hug, the door opened. Taken aback, Ivanka let go of Daniel at once and stepped aside. "Mom, " Daniel said coldly without any expression on his face. L suppressed her anger, walked in front of Ivanka, and judged her from head to toe. Seeing L made Ivanka very nervous. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Si, " she said in a low voice. There was a long silence in the office. L did not say a single word. She was so furious with Daniel that she did not know where to begin. "Who is this woman?" L said coldly, looking at her son. "Poe Yi''s daughter." L understood everything when she heard the name. She pped Ivanka in the face. Ivanka''s head shook to one side, with her face donning a big, red handprint. Daniel witnessed all this indifferently, but there was no emotion on his face. Ivanka took a deep breath. Instead of being angry, she looked directly into L''s eyes and said, "Mrs. Si, you must have misunderstood. I was also setup by Poe Yi." Chapter 176 True Love Chapter 176 True Love L Liughed coldly. She didn''t trust Ivanka Yi at all, "Did you graduate from a university? Why are you trying to seduce my son?" she asked. This woman had hurt J Shao deeply. "I don''t care whether you trust me or not. It was Poe Yi who framed me. Now I might be pregnant!" The door opened again. J heard Ivanka''s words as she opened the door. This made her feel weak, almost copsing to the floor. She immediately held onto the door to support herself. Daniel saw J and rushed to her. He held J who looked pale. "Jane." J''s appearance surprised L. She put her bag aside and walked to J. However, J didn''t talk to the both of them. She red at Ivanka. After taking a deep breath, she calmed down. She pushed Daniel away and directly marched toward Ivanka. Ivanka looked younger. Although there was a red p print on her lovely face, she still looked beautiful. She wore light make-up, which highlighted her full, pink lips. Ivanka wore a beige coat and an overskirt, which matched her trendy white ts. No wonder Daniel slept with her, she looked pretty. Sabina Fan, Kate Song, Ivanka, and all those young models were beautiful. Daniel had good taste in women. ''All those women are more gentle and elegant than I can ever be.'' J knew the reason why she had lost. J kept quiet for a long time, which worried Daniel a lot. He came closer to J and tried to hug her. However, J pushed him away. She stared at Ivanka, "Did you sleep with Daniel?" L told J that sometimes what you see was not the truth, so J asked Ivanka directly. Even though J heard what Ivanka had said, she was in denial. She hoped that Ivanka would say otherwise, so she still had a chance to be with Daniel. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. Ivanka frowned and nodded. She knew that J had a closer rtionship with Daniel. Ivanka''s reaction devastated J. Her body turned cold, very cold... Daniel hugged J and made her look at him, "Jane, both Ivanka and I were framed. I was drugged..." Daniel was embarrassed and spiteful. How could he be framed so easily! "So what?" J didn''t look at him but asked feebly. Even though Daniel was drugged by someone, he did sleep with another woman. J didn''t want to me anyone but herself. Her rtionship with Daniel was doomed to fail. Daniel didn''t know how to answer her question. "She might be pregnant... Daniel, didn''t you want a child?" J raised her head. Tears came out, but she smiled at Daniel. His figure and his expression were blurred. More tears fell when she blinked. "Jane, don''t cry. Jane..." Daniel tried tofort her. Ivanka was surprised by Daniel''s gentle manner toward J. When just a few moments ago, Daniel looked at her with a murderous intent. Ivanka knew that J was Daniel''s true love because of how he treated her. He was very sincere. This kind of love made Ivanka envious of J... L looked at J and wanted to cry as well. She knew that she couldn''t solve the problem. She stood aside and pondered. "I do want a child, but I want to have it with you. If you are not the mother, I don''t want it!" Daniel looked at J and lightly wiped her tears. He turned sad when he saw her tears. "But Ivanka might have your child now." J uttered the most important issue at hand. Daniel looked at J and said coldly, "Jane, if you are not the mother, I don''t want the baby." Daniel''s words surprised J. ''What did he mean? If Ivanka is pregnant, will he ask her to abort the child?'' Thinking of this, J pushed Daniel away and said, "Daniel, why are you so cruel? It is a life we are talking about!" Daniel frowned and answered, "If the parents don''t love each other, the child will never be happy!" Not to mention that he hated Ivanka very much. He even wanted to kill her. How could he allow her to have his child? "Shut up, Daniel. It''s over. We are done!" J cried. She took off her ring and threw it at Daniel. Then she rushed out of the office. She would not go the Civil Affairs Bureau with Daniel the next day. Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined. Daniel nned to run after J, but L stopped him, "I will find Jane." L took her bag and hurried out. Her actions surprised the secretaries outside. What happened? Daniel felt heartbroken. He picked up the pink diamond ring, which sparkled brightly. ncing at the ring, he called Spark Shi and instructed him coldly, "Get this woman out of here, but don''t leave her out of your sight!" "Yes, Sir." "Daniel, you can''t shut me off!" Ignoring Ivanka''s scream, Daniel kept quiet and looked at the ring. In a sh, two men came into his office and took Ivanka away. It was quiet again. Daniel sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and lowered his head on the desk, with his hands supporting his head. ''Jane, you belong to me.'' Many of Daniel''s staff saw L ran out after J. What happened? Why did the elegant wife of their president run after J? "Jane, " L held J''s hand. J stopped and looked at L helplessly, "Mother*." L wiped J''s tears. She hugged J, patted her back, and said, "My dear Jane, don''t cry." J kept sobbing because her heart ached. "Don''t think about it too much. That woman might not be pregnant." Nothing was certain at the moment. J stopped crying. She looked at L and understood her words. Indeed, Ivanka might not be pregnant. After a while, J shook her head and said, "Even if Ivanka is not pregnant, Daniel did sleep with her... and I can''t ept that fact." He cheated on her even though they weren''t married yet. Would it still happen after marriage? Daniel was a highly sought-after gentleman. There would be many women around him. Who could guarantee that this would not happen again? Chapter 177 Follow the Man in A Military Uniform into His Room Chapter 177 Follow the Man in A Military Uniform into His Room "Well, I won''t force you to do anything now. Go home first and think it over, " said L. She helped J smoothen her hair and looked at J, whose eyes got red, with concern. She hoped that Jane would forgive Daniel this time and give him a chance. After they bade farewell to each other, J drove back to the mansion. In the afternoon, Shirley called Daniel and told him that J had already gone home, so she didn''t have to move anymore. After thinking about it for a while, Daniel still asked her to move out of her current apartment. Several bodyguards stood in front of the door of an old apartment, while Ivanka stayed inside it all afternoon, thinking about how to escape. She was on the second floor, and it was not that high, so she decided to climb down the gas pipeline. She moved a chair under a narrow window and climbed out of it. After she seeded, a man covered her mouth and took her away. In the Sapphire Hotel Ivanka was thrown onto the bed of Room 1809. A man followed them and entered the room. After Ivanka saw who the man was, she jumped up from the bed and said, "Poe Yi, you''re so despicable! How could you take advantage of your own daughter!" Poe smiled and asked the bodyguard to close the door. "Tell me. Did you have sex with Daniel that night?" he asked. He had asked a bodyguard to enter the room and check on Daniel and Ivanka that night, but since both of them were already asleep, the bodyguard couldn''t figure out what they did. Ivanka, who gritted her teeth, stared at her so-called father and asked in a firm voice, "Didn''t you see the blood on the bed sheet?" In fact, she wasn''t sure whether she had sex with Daniel or not because she woke up the next morning feeling fine. But there were many marks on her body, and it proved that something must have happened. "I don''t care whether you had sex with Daniel or not, but you have to be pregnant with his child!" Poe changed the expression on his face and looked very angry. Daniel had begun to put pressure on Poe''s He even hired people to reveal Poe''s affairs, starting with the fact that Poe had kept a mistress in the suburbs and that Ivanka wasn''t Poe''s current wife''s biological daughter. "Well, do you think it''s easy being pregnant?" Ivanka sneered. She hated her family. Her so-called mother had even driven her out of their home. With a cold face, Poe waved at the bodyguards and said to Ivanka, "You have to be pregnant!" He had to make Ivanka pregnant with Daniel''s child in order to make sure that hispany wouldn''t go bankrupt so easily. He knew it was all his fault. He shouldn''t have overestimated Ivanka''s charm and thought that Daniel would like her! He didn''t expect that Daniel would detest his daughter so much! Two bodyguards approached Ivanka, one of them carrying a ss of water. Ivanka suddenly had a bad feeling about it. She quickly backed away and said, "Poe Yi, Daniel won''t be framed by you for the second time, so you don''t have to force me to do anything!" "I know Daniel better than you! Now, you will spend the night... with another man!" said Poe. He wanted a child in order to keep Daniel under his control for as long as possible. He hoped at least he could buy himself some time to work out a n to decide what to do with Daniel''s hostile suppression of his He didn''t think that such a thing would happen to him. He wasn''t prepared at all for what Daniel did. His About two thirds of cooperative banks and customers wouldn''t coborate with him anymore. Daniel also handed the Shuntian project over to his rival firm. If he couldn''t find a solution to take it away from his rival, Poe would quickly go broke! Ivanka waspletely disappointed in her father and wondered why she came back from the UK. "I don''t want to do that. Poe Yi, how dare you..." She then burst into tears. One of the bodyguards grabbed her, while the other one pinched her face and poured a ss of water into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it. It was toote for her to spit the water out. "Poe Yi, you will never get away with this!" shouted Ivanka. She retched on one side, staring at Poe who looked smug. When Poe left the room with the bodyguards, Ivanka stoop up from the bed and ran toward the room''s door. However, Poe had already locked the door from the outside, so she couldn''t get out. Bastard! Ivanka swore and dered Poe as her lifelong enemy. After a long while, Ivanka began to huddle behind the door, her body leaning against the cold wall. Suddenly, the room''s door opened, and a man walked into the room. Ivanka tightly clenched her teeth and rushed out of the room. A man in a military uniform opened a door adjacent to the one near Ivanka and stepped inside his room. Ivanka was in a trance, but she tried to keep herself awake because she didn''t want to be caught by Poe and didn''t want to... The man behind her saw that she was running away. Ivanka''s adrenaline shot up, so she sprinted to follow the man in a military uniform into his room. She then quickly locked the door and squatted down on the ground, her whole body limp. Brian stared at Ivanka who was beside the door, and before she had a chance to speak, the room''s doorbell rang. Ivanka''s vision was blurred. She only saw a figure of a tall and strong man. She crawled toward him, held his leg, and begged him in a low voice, "Please help me..." What happened? Brian was confused and wondered where this woman came from. He just came here to help hisrades in arms check the rooms they had reserved. "Please help me, I will... repay you... for your kindness..." After uttering these words, Ivanka leaned against him. Brian was a soldier, so when he saw that there was something wrong with this woman, he couldn''t just stand by and watch. He pushed Ivanka away, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Who is the man outside?" "I don''t know... They... drugged... me." It was getting difficult for Ivanka to talk. She felt even more ufortable now than that night. It seemed that Poe had increased the dosage. With a solemn face, Brian walked over and opened the room''s door. There was a man in his early twenties standing outside the room. When the man saw Brian who wore the military uniform, his eyes widened with fear. But he plucked up the courage to shout at Brian, "Give me that woman!" Brian stretched out his hands and pulled the man into the room. He did it in a swift but aggressive manner, so the man almost fell down. After closing the door, Brian effortlessly locked the man in his arms. "Please let go of me. I won''t..." said the man. Brian beat the man up until he begged for mercy and then let him go. The man, who was beaten ck and blue, immediately ran away from the room. Ivanka felt ufortable and rubbed against the floor. She finally took off her coat. Brian looked away from her. Since he often carried out all kinds of tasks, he was experienced in many situations. He had an idea about what was happening to the woman on the ground. After he hesitated for a little while, he held the woman in his arms and ced her on the bed. He entered the bathroom and filled the tub with water. But before he filled the bathtub up, Ivanka climbed out of the bed and put her arms around his waist from behind. Without hesitation, Brian drew her hands away, turned around, and was about to rebuke her, but she was naked, without any clothes. It was the first time that Brian had seen such a scene, so he almost choked on his saliva, pulling a long face. Chapter 178 A Women is a Bane Chapter 178 A Women is a Bane With the intention of leaving her alone, Brian looked away and walked to the bathroom door. Seeing that the only man who could save her was about to leave, Ivanka pounced on him and hugged him again. She raised her unusually red face and pleaded, "Don''t leave me alone... I feel terrible. Please help me." As she looked at the man''s profile, Ivanka recovered some of her consciousness. The man seemed to be the one she met in Britain. ''If it''s really him...'' Ivanka tiptoed to kiss his thin, tightly pressed lips with pleasant surprise. The scent of her body wafted across Brian. He gasped a little, but pulled her away, "I''ll call a doctor for you." She shook her head. She knew Poe. If she didn''t do what he wanted her to do tonight, he would let her go through this again. She was too weak to get rid of Poe. "Rest assured... I won''t ask you to be responsible for this... I feel so bad..." Faced with a woman who kept throwing herself at him, Brian closed his eyes and tried to stay rational. J was the woman he loved... Brian took Ivanka by the wrist, thrusted her away, and made his way to the bedroom without hesitation. Ivanka let out a muffled moan. She identally hit her head on the door. Brian walked back with a soft sigh, picked her up, and threw her into the nearly filled bathtub. But Ivanka kept her arms around his neck, so he slipped and fell into the bathtub with her. "Damn it!" Brian muttered a curse. ''This damn woman! I shouldn''t be dealing with this.'' His body was pressing hard against Ivanka. She approached him and made a bold decision. She exhaled in his ear, "I''ve never had a boyfriend. It''s my first time..." Having lived in Britain for a long time, she knew something about having sex. In retrospect, she felt nothing the next day after she had been with Daniel that night. Perspiring on his forehead, Brian pushed away her wrist, "But I have someone I love, and I''m a soldier..." If he slept with her today, as a soldier, he would have to take full responsibility. He didn''t want to marry a woman he didn''t love. Hence, he got out of the bathtub and prepared to leave. Ivanka was devastated. Since she had taken a massive dose of the drug and was stressed out, darkness covered her eyes, causing her to lose her senses in the bathtub. Then, she was submerged in the water. Brian had intended to leave her, but in good conscience, he turned around at the lound sound. The woman was underwater. He clenched his big hands and ran to pull her out. Being choked and ufortable, Ivanka felt she could not bear it any more. Pushing Brian away, she tried to hit the wall beside her. Aware of her intentions, Brian immediately stopped her. Ivanka leaned against him with her eyes closed, "Let me go, I don''t-" Before she could finish her sentence, Brian stopped her full, pink lips by putting his mouth over hers. She came to herself in an instant and looked at the man in wonder. With that, she smiled and kissed back. Brian carried her to the bed in the bedroom and covered her with a quilt. Ivanka was dumbfounded. Gasping, Brian picked up thendline phone beside him and tried to call the reception desk. Ivanka jumped out of the bed, heaving and holding his hand, "You can go..." She looked terribly ufortable, her head lowered, her eyes closed tightly, and her eyes watered. "I''ll call a doctor for you, " His voice was hoarse. She shook her head, curled up in the bed, and covered herself with the quilt, "Even if I get better today, I''ll have to go through it tomorrow... Why should I live? To continue suffering his torment?" "Then call the police!" "No, don''t!" Ivanka''s eyes abruptly opened, full of pain. Her elder sister was still under Poe''s control; otherwise, she would have called the police a while back. Getting up again and kneeling on the edge of the bed, she held his waist, "Save me. You''re a soldier. Isn''t it your job to save people?" Brian closed his eyes, "I''m a soldier. It''s my duty to save people, but not this way!" "Either way, it''s saving a life. If you don''t do this, I''m really going to die." Ivanka was getting worn out. She nned to make a final attempt, and if he persisted on refusing, she would give up. Thus, she put her arms around his neck and pulled him down. Now he was on top of her. Ivanka took his hand and ced it on her chest. Brian lost his mind because of what she did. Ivanka slightly rose and kissed him again. This time Brian wanted to give in. At thest moment, he asked her, "Are you of legal age?" Ivanka nodded with her eye closed, "I just turned eighteen..." He was ten years older than her. Brian wanted to stop, but she was so passionate that he had couldn''t help himself. In a nearby room, Poe listened to his bodyguards'' report and was stunned. "It''s okay, as long as it''s a man!" "I''m sure that it is a man." Poe flicked the cigarette ash, squinting his eyes, "Take her back to the ce where Daniel held her before dawn!" "Yes, Sir!" Before dawn, the bodyguards heard no sound in Brian''s room, so they took out a stolen room card and silently opened the door. The big bed in the room was a mess, with only Ivanka on it, and a sound of running water came from the bathroom. They wrapped the woman in a quilt and hurriedly carried her out of the room. Brian was standing under the shower, letting the warm water run down his body. ''I''m no longer qualified to love J from now on.'' he thought. ''Where was the strong willpower that I always boast aboutst night?'' He hammered his fist against the wall. It was true that a woman is a bane! He exchanged a lifetime of happiness to save her. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. He was a soldier and should be held ountable. He would take that woman with him to get a marriage license today! He silently wished J and Daniel well... After a quick shower, he came out with a towel, but he suddenly froze at what he saw. The woman on the bed was gone, together with the thin quilt. Only some messy sheets remained, revealing the madness that happenedst night... Did she run away? Or was she taken away? Then, Brian happened to see something and walked a few steps forward. In the middle of the white bedsheet was a red bloodstain. He remembered what she had saidst night. She never had a boyfriend, and this was her first time... Brian called to have clean clothes delivered and then went to the hotel''s monitoring room to get the surveince video of his floor. He wanted to find that woman. Unexpectedly, the CCTV cameras of the 18th floor had been broken for two or three days. No one knew if this was a coincidence or intentional. Early in the morning, two men carrying a white quilt sneaked back to the old apartment. After that, they used some tools to open arger window on the balcony of the second floor and thrusted the woman in the quilt onto the balcony. Chapter 179 He is Not the Father of the Baby Chapter 179 He is Not the Father of the Baby The men left discreetly. Ivanka was awakened by the ringing of her cellphone. She opened her eyes and found herself lying on an empty balcony. Ivanka looked at herself and recalled what had happened. She stood up and tried to make her way to the living room. But she was so weak that she fell to the ground. ... The damned man. Couldn''t he be a little gentle? Recalling what had happenedst night, Ivanka came to realize that nothing had happened between her and Daniel. ''J must have felt heartbroken.'' Ivanka thought as she remembered J''s woeful face. Then, she decided to tell J the truth. She couldn''t get in the way of an innocent girl and her lover. Ivanka walked into the bedroom with all her strength and picked up her cellphone. It was Poe. "Poe Yi, how vile you are! Nothing happened between Daniel and I. I will tell him about this immediately!" On the other side of the phone, Poe was surprised. ''Was it really possible that nothing happened between Ivanka and Daniel that night?'' he wondered. However, it had alle to this point of no return. He had to make sure that the n moved forward. "I have transferred your sister to another hospital. You know what to do to keep her alive!" "You are crazy, Poe Yi! Even if I was pregnant, how long do you think we can deceive Daniel into believing this? After all, he is not the father of the baby." "That''s none of your concern. I have my ns. What matters right now is to keep the truth from him, as long as possible!" Poe hung up the phone as soon as he had finished speaking. He did not give Ivanka a chance to speak. Ivanka was so weak that she had to prop up her head with her hands while sitting on the edge of the bed. She was exhausted, so she fell asleep before she could think about what to do next. Today was J''s birthday. She was 23 years old. It was early in the morning, but J was already downstairs with her luggage. "Where are you going, J?" E walked to J after putting down a te on the dining table. J looked normal, just as before. She smiled at her mother and said, "Mom, I''m going to America. We will have a ssmate gathering there. I''ll take this chance to stay longer for a trip." E felt rxed after hearing J''s purpose for her trip. "You are leaving, and you are just telling me about this now. Why hadn''t you told me earlier? I must tell your father. He will drive you to the airport, " E said as she went upstairs. But J held E''s arm and said, "It''s unnecessary, Mom. I''ll take a taxi." "Anyway, you have to let your father know. And today is your birthday. Can''t you stay and leave tomorrow?" E didn''t want her daughter to spend her birthday on a ne. But J shook her head. How she wished to escape from the city that Daniel lived in! She felt breathless thinking of it. "I have to inform your father. It doesn''t matter whether you want to spend your birthday at home or not... Anyway, we can still celebrate it next year." However, a birthday celebration would be thest thing on her mind right now. She remembered how Daniel had said that he would take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage on her birthday. It would''ve been the best birthday gift ever... But everything had turned out to be a dream that would nevere true. How could she possibly celebrate her birthday knowing she wouldn''t be able to receive the gift she had always wanted? The smile disappeared on J''s face when she heard her mother''s words. Noticing her expression change, E insisted no more in making J stay. So she said to J, "Go and say goodbye to your father." J went upstairs. E felt sorry for her daughter. How she wished that she had not arranged opportunities for J and Daniel to meet and fall in love with each other... J wouldn''t have to feel this bad. J knocked on Samuel''s door. Samuel was helping his son get dressed. He heard the knock and said, "Come in." "Dad." J entered and kissed John on his cheeks. "Why are you up so early?" Samuel studied her daughter carefully and sensed that something must have gone wrong. "I''m taking a morning flight to America. I just came to say goodbye to you." "You hadn''t mentioned a single word about the trip. Why are you in a hurry? Is Daniel...? "Dad!" J interrupted her father as soon as he mentioned Daniel''s name. Samuel sighed. Then, he took his son into his arms and sat next to his daughter. "All right. I will not mention him again. But why will you go to America?" "There will be a school reunion there in a couple of days. And I want to travel as well." She would stay in America ande back a monthter... "That''s okay. But today is your birthday. Can''t you wait and leave tomorrow?" Samuel said while looking at her daughter. J shook her head, "No, Dad. It doesn''t matter whether I celebrate my birthday or not. I''m just eager to leave and have a happy journey." Silence swept the room as both the father and the daughter kept quiet. Samuel said several minutester, "I will drive you to the airport, Jane." J intended to turn down his father''s offer, but Samuel was so persistent that she gave him a nod. After arriving at the airport, Samuel helped J check her luggage in and saw her off at the security checkpoint. "Jane, someone will pick you up when you arrive in America. Please don''t say refuse. I worry when you are not around." J could not help but nod after seeing her concerned father. "Dad, I wille back soon. I''m still waiting for... the result." Samuel knew what J meant as Harry had told him what had happened. He felt sad for J that he took her into his arms. "Please don''t be sad, sweetheart. It doesn''t matter if you lose Daniel. You can meet some one better." ''Meet someone better?'' No. She didn''t want to have anyone else but Daniel. J''s eyes became red as she tried to refrain herself from crying. She hugged Samuel and took a step backward, "I understand, Dad. You better go now!" "All right. Call me when you arrive." This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. "Okay, Dad. Don''t drive too fast, " J tried her best to squeeze out a smile. However, she didn''t have any idea what a sad smile it was. It seemed worse than a crying face. Samuel looked at J and felt sorry for her. He waved at her and said, "Go. I''ll pick you up when you "Yes, Dad. Goodbye!" J could not help shedding tears as she passed through the security checkpoint alone. ''I''m not a good daughter. I always worry my parents, '' J thought to herself. At the VIP Lounge of the airport J was dazed, staring nkly at the seats where she and Daniel had sat on before. After a while, her cellphone beeped, as it received a WeChat message from Daniel, "Happy birthday, Jane." Tears welled up in J''s eyes again, but she didn''t respond. More messages came in session. "Wanna take you out for dinner." "Wanna present you with a bunch of pink roses." "I''m sorry, Jane. Can you give me one more chance?" And thest one read, "Wanna take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau." J felt so heartbroken that she couldn''t hold her tears back any more. She put her hand on her mouth to suppress the sobbing and dashed to thedies'' room. But the moment she got there, she heavily cried. Before boarding, J finally sent Daniel a message, "I''m travelling now. You can concentrate on your work. I will let you know when Ie back." Daniel called J immediately after receiving her message. But she had already powered off her cellphone. He sent for Spark and asked him to find out where J went. However, at the end, he said, "Never mind. Don''t do it." ''It''s better to leave her alone for a while. I cannot push her too hard, '' Daniel thought. J stayed in America for about two weeks before flying to Africa. She received messages from Daniel almost everyday. However, she only said "Good night" to him and nothing else. But J didn''t know that Daniel had gone to America twice and that he had followed her and had watched her go shopping with her ssmates. Chapter 180 Why wasnt Janet the Pregnant One Chapter 180 Why wasn''t J the Pregnant One It was three o''clock in the afternoon when Jnded. Bill drove a battered car to pick her up. "Jane! I''ve missed you so much!" Seeing J walk out of the exit, Bill, who was in a camouge outfit, dashed to J excitedly. J gave him a bear hug, "Me too." She had been worried about how he was doing here. Bill seemed to have gotten a lot tan than she remembered. "Let''s go!" Bill took over her luggage and led her to the car. He brought J to his apartment, which was sparsely decorated but clean enough. Bill told her that the reason why his apartment was tidy was because of a beautiful girl who often volunteered to help him do the cleaning. J was amused by his words. "That girl must really like you!" she joked. But she felt a little down at the same time. It''s a pity that she hadn''t done this kind of thing for Daniel. Coincidently, Bill had a lot of free time to show J around. Every time Daniel saw photos, which she posted on her Weibo, of J and Bill having fun together, he wished he could fly to J in a second and kick Bill far away from her. J and Bill went to a slum today with lots of food and gifts. As soon as they got there, they distributed the food and gifts to the children. "It has been a long time since thest time I have done this kind of thing, " J sighed. Bill turned to her with confusion. She exined, "I stopped doing this to avoid drawing the media''s attention since I ran into a conflict with a few journalists before." These children were quite pitiful. Most of them were as thin as a twig. In the evening, Bill and J sat beside a bonfire and watched children dancing. J seemed to be in a good mood. Since Bill was a bit careless, he didn''t dwell on why J was a whole lot quieter than before. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. He thought it was because J had already grown up and be mature. He fished his mobile phone out, took some pictures of J and the children, and posted the photos on Weibo. Not long after, he received manyments from hisrades-in-arms, either asking him who was the woman sitting beside him or asking him to introduce J to them. On the next day, the ounts thatmented on Bill''s photos were all mysteriously suspended. J spent a dozen days in Africa in total. She thought it was Samuel who would pick her up the day she came back. She was surprised the moment she saw the man, who was wearing a pair of sunsses, staring at the exit. He always did stand out in the crowd. Daniel took over her luggage, grasped her hand, and led her toward his parked Lamborghini at the gate. Seeing Daniel and J walk out of the exit, Spark, who was at the driver seat, got out of the car at once. He got J''s luggage from Daniel and put it into the trunk. Both Daniel and J sat at the back seats. Daniel pressed a button. A curtain rolled down, dividing the driver''s side and the back side. He took off his sunsses and threw it aside casually. Then, he turned J, who was enjoying the view by the window, to him and kissed her on her lips. She didn''t push him away because she also missed him so much... After a long kiss, Daniel moved back from her lips and held her into his arms. Both of them kept silent the whole way to the Royal Mansion. J couldn''t predict how this thing would go. But she told herself that she was going to give Daniel a final chance. If that woman didn''t carry Daniel''s baby, she would be with Daniel again. If that woman was pregnant, then... The Lamborghini stopped at the gate of the Royal Mansion. Daniel got out of the car after J. He took out her luggage from the trunk and passed it onto her. Then, he pulled her toward him and held her tightly into his arms again, "Jane, I missed you so much." His voice was tender. J couldn''t help closing her eyes and leaning her head on his shoulder. She was reluctant to leave his warm embrace. After a long time, Daniel kissed her forehead and looked at her face, "I will watch you get in..." J nodded with a slight smile. The moment she turned around and walked toward the mansion, the door opened from the inside. It was Samuel, who already saw Daniel and J holding each other from the second floor. He took J''s luggage from her, looked at the man standing not too far away, and said "When will you take her for a physical examination?" At Samuel''s words, J froze. She didn''t turn around but heard Daniel say, "The morning of the day after tomorrow." The moment Daniel stopped speaking, J turned around and said, "I will go with you." Daniel looked into her eyes without saying anything. What''s on his mind was that if Ivanka really got pregnant, he would make her have an abortion. But if J went with him... "Daniel, I will go with you!" J looked into his eyes and said it firmly. "Okay, I wille here to pick you up then, " Daniel agreed. He wouldn''t give up any chance of spending time with J. J nodded and went inside the mansion with Samuel. But a few momentster, she hurried out of the mansion, ran to Daniel, who was about to get in the car, And handed him a piece of jade in the shape of Buddha, "It''s from a temple in Africa. If she really is pregnant, you can give it to her. It will bless the baby." Hearing J''s words, Daniel slightly changed his expression. He didn''t take the jade, "Can''t you not expect that she is pregnant?" J smiled, "Easy. If she isn''t pregnant, you can send it back to me one day." At J''s words, Daniel couldn''t help but shift his sight to her belly. Noticing that, J blushed at once, "Hey! What are you thinking about? I just said..." ''Why wasn''t J the pregnant one?'' Daniel sighed at the thought. He took the jade from her, "I will keep it and send it back to you one day." J didn''t say anything. She also hoped that she could have it back someday. Daniel started the car after seeing J walk into the mansion. J had been worried. On the morning of the day of the appointment, she woke up at 5 AM and couldn''t fall asleep anymore. She got up and walked downstairs. E was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Catching a glimpse of J sitting in the living room, she got scared, "Jane, you''re up early today." J nodded listlessly, "I can''t fall asleep anymore." Hearing her words, E sat beside her and sighed, "Let nature take its course. Jane, you are not living for Daniel." "I know, Mommy. I have imagined all the possibilities." If that woman was really carrying Daniel''s baby, then she would leave Daniel for good. "Okay. Mommy hopes that you would always be happy, " E said as she held J into her arms. Chapter 181 Five Weeks Pregnant Chapter 181 Five Weeks Pregnant J nodded, "Mom, I know." She didn''t want to take things too hard. She was not going to waste time splitting hairs. "Well, things happened. If I don''t want to be with Daniel anymore, I will just walk away. There was no point in making myself uneasy." "Good." E made breakfast for J to eat. She had already finished her food when the door bell rang. Her heart had skipped a beat when she heard the sound. J grabbed her bag and waved goodbye to her mother, "I am going now, Mom." It was no other but Daniel Si standing in front of the door. J changed her shoes. As she closed the door behind her, Daniel caught her hand naturally. She did not reject his gesture. Deep down, she felt that it might be thest time they would probably hold hands. Inside his car sat another woman. J was surprised to see her as she remembered who the woman was. As soon as their eyes met, Ivanka turned her head away guiltily. J wore an indifferent look, as she sat on the passenger seat. Daniel drove the car and took them straight to Chengyang Private Hospital. Sven knew about the incident upon his return half a month ago. The moment he saw J, he pulled her toward him and away from Daniel. "Jane, how are you?" Sven gentlyid his hands on her shoulders as he spoke to her with genuine concern. Ivanka looked at them with admiration. It seemed that many people really cared for J, Ivanka thought. However, the only one who cared for her was her own sister... J smiled as she held Sven''s arm gently, "I am doing well. Let''s go. How is Nicole by the way?" "Nicole is fine. She does not need anyone''s help at all!" Sven was proud of himself for treating his wife well. Daniel said nothing as he watched them walk in front of him. He cast a cold nce at Ivanka and quickly followed them into the examination room. Ivanka felt sorry for herself as she paced up to follow him. If she had a choice, she would definitely want to get out of here. She had no interest in being a third wheel and taking all the mes. In front of the examination room Daniel suddenly called Sven. J seemed confused as she watched them step aside to have a conversation. Daniel''s eyes were constantly on her as he talked to Sven. J had a bad feeling about this. She quickly walked over to them. However, the moment she approached them, Daniel stopped talking. She stared at Daniel in anger. Then she turned to Sven and said, "If you dare to lie to me with Daniel, I will no longer be your friend!" Sven was speechless, as he quickly exchanged looks with Daniel. Next thing he knew, he was being pushed into the examination room by the impatient J. Unwillingly, Ivanka took a deep breath as she followed him into the room. Daniel and J were left outside of the room. Gazing at the closed door, J fell deep into her thoughts. Daniel walked over to her and asked her in a low voice, "If she is indeed pregnant, I will ask her to abort the child. How about that?" "No way!" She replied decisively without turning her head to face him. "Well... What if we raise the child up together?" He asked again. She was silent for a moment. Eventually, she shook her head and replied, "I can''t do that." Daniel was hurt by her answer. He said nothing but held her tightly in his arms. Together, they sat on the bench outside of the room in silence. Not long after, Ivanka walked out of the examination room. She saw them intimately cuddling with each other on the bench and felt greatly sorry for them. She apologised to J in her heart as she clutched her clothes tightly. Sven walked out as well. Daniel and J stood up from the bench. They both looked concerned. No one was talking. Sven had the result in his hand. He wanted to say something, but he couldn''t bring himself to. J held tightly on Daniel''s zer. She could almost read the result from Sven''s serious look. It was not looking good. "Tell me!" Daniel opened his mouth. "It is positive. Ivanka is 5 weeks pregnant, " With these words, Sven handed the report to Daniel. J let go of his zer as she was overwhelmed by the news. The timing was correct; she calcted. It was five weeks ago... Daniel and Ivanka had sex. J was not the only one who was overwhelmed by the news. Ivanka''s face was pale. She was pregnant! But she was only 18 years old! Out of the blue, J dashed towards the elevator. Without hesitation, Daniel chased after her. J had run all the way out of the hospital, but Daniel caught up with her. He quickly took her by the hands and pulled her to his car. On the back seats of Daniel''s Lamborghini Daniel held J''s pale face with his hands as he said to her what he wanted to tell her a long time ago, "Jane, look at me. The child is probably not mine!" Ivanka was pregnant. However, Daniel still vaguely hoped that he was not the father. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. When he woke up that morning, he felt nothing, so he thought that nothing had happened between Ivanka and himself. He only saw the blood stain on the bed sheets. J pushed him away as she red at him, "Daniel, you are such a douchebag! How dare you even think of killing your own child!" "Hold on. Let me tell you this. Jane, please don''t give up on us yet. When the child in her belly is big enough for DNA test, I will-" He didn''t have a chance to finish his sentence because J pped him really hard on the face. "Daniel, you disappoint me! It never urred to me that you are this irresponsible!" J clenched her fists. She felt numb at this point. Daniel was infuriated with her violence. He snapped at her, "Since the incident, you threw nothing but usations at me. Have you ever listened to my exnation? Have you ever shown any trust in me?" "I saw it with my own eyes. How could I possibly give you my trust? Fair enough, what I saw might not be the fact. But I did go to yourpany to confront you. She said she might be pregnant. Now, she really is! Also, the timing is right. How dare you try to run away from your responsibility?" "Because I don''t love her at all. I want to be with you. Therefore, I want to spare myself of this mess and get rid of the child! I just want you to calm down. Please wait until I do the DNA test. Why can''t you give me the chance?" J held back her tears as she stared at the angry Daniel. She looked at him in the eyes and calmly said, "I did give you a chance. If she was not pregnant, I would have forgiven you and forgotten all about it. We would have continued our rtionship as if nothing had happened. But now, everything has changed. Daniel, she is pregnant... Could you please not kill your own child?" "I will deal with them!" Daniel was greatly irritated. He closed his eyes for a second and then opened the car door with full force. J caught him by the wrist as she yelled at him in panic, "What are you going to do?" He turned around. His eyes were cold as ice, "I don''t care whose child it is. Even if it was mine, I will get rid of it!" "No, Daniel, you can''t do that. This is a life we''re talking about!" J wept as she stopped him from getting out of the car. "Listen up, J! I don''t want to lose you. I don''t want you to be sad. I don''t care if it is one child or ten. I simply won''t have them around!" Daniel seemed overwhelmed by anger. His eyes were red and his words sharp. J shook her head as she sobbed, "The child is innocent. Ivanka is also a victim of this setup. Daniel, please ept the fact and let it go! We are just not meant to be..." Upon hearing her words, Daniel broke free from her hands. He raised her chin up with his right hand and red at her, "J Shao, did you ever love me at all? Why don''t you give us a chance to be together?" Chapter 182 You Should Call Ivanka Instead Chapter 182 You Should Call Ivanka Instead ''Did you ever love me at all?'' J repeated his words in her mind. ''I don''t love him? What a joke.'' But J nodded her head and looked at him with a cold look in her eyes, "No, I never loved you, because you are bad and wicked! Daniel, if you dare give up and kill your own child, I will hate you my whole life!" said J. Finishing her words, J shook off his hand, opened the door, and got out of the car. There was a sound of heavy kickinging from inside the car. J stopped walking for a short moment, but she moved forward without turning around. Inside the car, Daniel violently kicked at the front seat, damaging it. But it was not enough to release his anger, and he gave another heavy kick to the storage J stopped a taxi and went towards the Waterside Apartment. She packed up all of her things in the apartment and asked the bodyguards to help her move them to the car. She intended to move all her things back to the Royal Mansion. Before she left, J took one more nce at the apartment, as she covered her mouth to stop herself from crying. Twenty minutester, with tears flooding her red eyes, J got in the bodyguards'' car. They went back to the mansion. From now on, J and Daniel... would break up all connections. He would soon have his own child with his new family. J was determined that Daniel would have nothing to do with her, and he would forever only be her... sworn brother. J arrived at the mansion. When E saw her daughter wearing such a mncholic look on her face, she understood what happened. Her heart ached for her daughter. She followed J to her bedroom. E then helped her tidy up the luggages sent back by the bodyguards. Jy down on her bed, feeling drowsy and weary, and said to her mother, "Mom, I want to sleep now." "Okay, sleep tight, " E put down her daughter''s cosmetics in her hands and left her bedroom. Outside her bedroom, E discussed with Samuel how they shouldfort their dear daughter. Samuel wanted to punch Daniel so hard. He was so furious. Daniel shouldn''t have tortured his daughter like this! J kept her phone switched off and stayed in her bed for two days. During these two days, L and Harry hade once. L held J''s hands and said to her, "Jane, I am so sorry for you. I won''t admit that woman as my daughter-inw, and her baby... It''s up to Daniel. If he wants the baby, I will let him raise the child himself, but if he doesn''t want the baby, I will agree and support that." Soon enough, Sven and Nicole also came to see her. When Sven saw J''s pale face, he swore to her that he would make Ivanka have an abortion. Sven was serious about his words. This was the first time in Sven''s life that he had seen J in such a depressing manner. J''s eyes looked absent, and her face was so pale, which made her look like a ghost. J held and stopped Sven, who was in great rage, and she said, "No, Sven, don''t do that. You''ll soon be a father too. Think about it. If that was your own baby, would you hurt it?" Sven looked at Nicole''s slightly swelling belly, and he calmed down a little. But he was still not convinced and insisted, "It''s a totally different case. My baby is the result from the love between Nicole and I, but that woman''s baby was a big trap! Why should I keep it alive?" J shook her head and said, "I''ll be okay soon. Trust me. I''m going to be fine." J made up her mind that she must return to her normal life, to not worry the people around her any longer. Nicole sat beside her and smoothened her messy hair. She said, "Jane, I''m Daniel''s sister, but I''m also your sister. I won''t stand by his side, and if you''re so distressed with him, then give up on him, but don''t ever hurt yourself." She continued, "I have the same wish as my father and mother. We all wished that you could marry Daniel. But we put your happiness first. Please remember this." J felt moved by Nicole''s words. With a smile, she nodded and said, "Nicole, please don''t worry about me. I''ll go back to my cake shop and start working tomorrow!" Nicole smiled too and said, "Well, Jane, forget Daniel. You will meet someone better than him. You must live your own wonderful life." After their talks, J escorted Sven and Nicole to the mansion''s door, in her pajama. J looked at Nicole''s belly with an admirable look in her eyes. While lightly touching her belly, she said, "Nicole, please take good care of your baby." She had eagerly hoped that she would have a baby with Daniel, but... "Okay, J, please take care of yourself too, " said Nicole. Nicole then embraced J and left with Sven. When J was about to go back to her bedroom, E stopped her and said, "Come, I have cooked some soup for you. Pleasee and drink it." J hadn''t eaten anything in the past two days, so she didn''t refuse and went to wash her hands. She then sat on one of the chairs of the dinner table. E put a bowl of chicken soup in front of her. J took a spoon in her hand and ate a mouthful. E watched her drink up all the soup, before allowing her to go back to her bedroom. But when J climbed up the staircase, she felt of a stomachache and covered her belly with her hand. Oh, how terrible! She guessed that it was because she hadn''t eaten anything in two days. She shocked her body by drinking up too much soup, resulting in this revolting feeling. She then went to the toilet and retched. When she felt better, she rinsed out her mouth and went back to her bedroom. The next day, J did as she had promised. She went to work in her cake shop. But she didn''t go to the cake shop that cooperated with Daniel''spany. J also asked Hebe to go to the SL Group to cancel the mousse cup contract. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Spark reported this event to Daniel. Daniel kept silent and thought for a while. Then he told Spark that it was up to her. When J found out about Daniel''s simple answer, she felt distressed, but she didn''t say anything and went on to work with her desserts. Three dayster, L suddenly made a call to J. "Jane, I have no choice, but to contact you, " said L anxiously on the phone. J felt puzzled when she heard L''s anxious voice. L continued, "Daniel is sick. He has a high forty-degree fever. Sven gave him an intravenous infusion, but he hasn''t recovered yet and still went to work. He has been working day and night in thepany, which worsened his health. I asked him to take some medicine, but he just wouldn''t listen to me..." J was dumbfounded, and after a long while, she finally opened her mouth and said, "Mother*, you should call Ivanka instead." "Jane... You know that I don''t like her, and Daniel doesn''t want to meet her either. Did you know that Daniel nearly punched her on that day she came out of the hospital?" Luckily, Chuck arrived at the hospital just in time to stop Daniel from doing so. Then, Daniel went to punch Poe Yi. He hit him so hard that he was even sent to the hospital. Poe''s business was in a total mess, and hispany might go bankrupt any time soon. J answered, "But what I can do?" She wondered what she could do. Should she go persuade him to take some medicine? But she wasn''t willing to do so... J seemed to have a calm voice, which made L feel rxed. She then said, "You don''t need to do anything else. Just give him the medicine prepared by Sven and ask him to take them. That''s all." But J said, "Mother*, he wouldn''t listen to me..." On the day she told him that she didn''t love him, she guessed that he wouldn''t want to meet her anymore! "But Jane, I really have no other choice. I can only ask you for your help. Please give it a try. What if he listens? Jane, please..." Hearing L''s repeated begging, J couldn''t refuse anymore. She hung up the phone and got ready to go to Sven''s ce to get the medicine. Before she went there, J took a look at the desserts container in her shop and took a few pieces of cakes. She then sent a message to Shirley, it wrote, "Shirley, I will take some cakes to you
