Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 199: Eat you for lunch
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Eat you for lunch
A large palm suddenly put a coat around her shoulders, enveloping her in a blanket of warmth.
Qin Zhuzhu didn’t need to look behind to know who it was.
Shentu Jing.
That familiar imposing presence, the way the air shifted whenever he was beside her, his steady rhythmic breathing, the warm feel off his large palms were enough to tell her who he was.
Qin Zhuzhu felt a weight on her head but didn’t think much of it. She was lost in her own world of endless what ifs and worries.
The man patted the girl’s small head lovingly.
It’ll be okay, he softly. Qin Zhuzhu slowly turned to look at him, eyes watery and slightly red.
She sniffed back a sob, taking a deep breath, finally releasing that breath as if it was the hardest thing to do.
"S-shentu Jing, I’m really worried! What if, what if..." The girl’s small body shook and she broke out into sobs.
Shentu Jing pulled her into a hug and one large palm caressed her smooth hair.
"It’ll be okay. I’m here. I’ll stand by you,"
After a while of crying on his shoulders, she calmed down and looked up at Shentu Jing.
"Sorry, I dirtied your suit again," She laughed embarrassedly and wiped her eyes and cheeks.
"It’s okay, as long as you need to, you can dirty them as much as you like," Shentu Jing reached out and pushed a stray hair away from her forehead.
"Uncle Wubai is here. Let’s go in and take a look," she said, changing the topic.
"Have you forgotten? Uncle Wubai mustn’t know that I’m alive,"
"Oh, how forgetful I am!" Qin Zhuzhu smacked her forehead.
"Shentu Jing?"
"Hmm..." The man answered.
"Actually," Qin Zhuzhu looked uneasy. "About one month ago, I promised someone to do something,"
"Do what?" Shentu Jing was very patient with her.
"Ning Ning asked me to stop Shentu Chu from marrying into the Qiao family. In exchange, she said that she still give me information of my Qin family, something that I don’t know about my family,"
She was telling him this, shows her trust in him. Shentu Jing was secretly happy that she confided in him.
"You’re afraid that you might go back on your promise?"
"That’s one thing, but the other...."
"Your family? You can’t remember what exactly happened back then?" He said.
"That’s correct! How did you know? She asked. Shentu Jing’s network of information is indeed something to talk about! This, he can even find out!
Actually, he had known it a long time ago but didn’t mention it. He thought that one day when she finally opened her heart up to him, she will tell him herself. It seems like that day was coming closer.
Shentu Jing was willing to embrace whatever darkness she has, be it deeper than the eighteen levels of hell or deeper than a pit of hot boiling lava, he was willing.
"I want to fulfill this promise after my mother’s treatment is successful. I feel like I should recover those lost memories, maybe that’s what missing from my life that’s bothering me,"
"Okay, I’ll accompany you,"
"Actually I can go by myself," she quickly said.
"Too risky. There’s no room for discussion. Since you opened your mouth, I’ll be there,"
"But your identity?" Qin Zhuzhu furrowed.
"As your bodyguard," Shentu Jing replied.
It wasn’t a bad thing to have such handsome and stunning bodyguard anyway!
"Shentu Jing?" Qin Zhuzhu didn’t know why but somehow she felt that saying his name gives her comfort. It was strange how it seemed to have an affect on her during these times.
"What?"
"I’m hungry,"
Shentu Jing gazed down at the beautiful pair of foxy eyes and red lips.
"Let’s eat," he said.
"Let’s invite Ah Xian too,"
"Why? Isn’t the two of us enough?" Shentu Jing’s mood seemed to change rapidly.
"He should be hungry too. You can’t possibly treat your subordinates like dogs, right?" Qin Zhuzhu pulled him along.
Han Juexian was waiting for them in the car. He got out and opened the door for them. The moment he saw the boss giving him a ’Do not follow me or you’ll die’ look, he quickly stepped back.
"Lady boss, I have something to do. I think Ding Yu is calling me about his homework. So you can enjoy your time with boss, alone," Han Juexian said and sped off.
"Wait-" she looked at Shentu Jing and at the fleeting shadow of Han Juexian.
"What? Are you hungry that you mistook me for food?" Shentu Jing feigned ignorance.
"If it was really possible, then I rather eat you for lunch," Qin Zhuzhu muttered some rubbish. But Shentu Jing was pleased to hear that. His heart went pa-dum, pa-dum, pa-dum louder.
Shentu Jing drove her to a fancy restaurant. The waitress there treated them politely and showed them to their seats.
"This is too expensive! Even more expensive than Shengjing!" She exclaimed.
This was a five star top restaurant! All the staffs here were well trained and graduated from a certain school in order to serve here.
Shentu Jing was really throwing money on her, Qin Zhuzhu felt uncomfortable.
"Don’t worry, this place is owned by my family," Shentu Jing coughed slightly into his fist.
"Oh," Qin Zhuzhu looked at the menu.
After the meal was served, Shentu Jing ordered some desserts. Watching the girl in front of him eating happily made Shentu Jing smiled.
"Don’t worry, Little Pearl. After everything’s done, I’ll take you to crash the wedding," Shentu Jing leaned back in the chair, glancing at her.
"Okay, but you have to follow my instructions," Qin Zhuzhu’s eyes seemed to glint mischievously.
Ah, what was she up to? Suddenly, Shentu Jing felt a little worried.
Han Juexian called Shentu Jing at that moment. At first he thought of ignoring Han Juexian. Why was he calling at the wrong time? But on second thoughts, it could be something urgent.
"Boss, someone wants to meet you. He says that you’ve talked with him before," Han Juexian said.
"Who?"
"Qiao ShenJi,"
Qiao ShenJi? What was he doing here in Europe? How did he know that he was alive?
