Nana rolled her eyes. “So many things happened, and this is what you are happy about?” She shook her head.
Serena grabbed her hand, and cutely said, “You won’t forget your best friend now, right? You will lend me money when I need it, right? After all, I’m pregnant, and now the expenses are going to increase. I have a living gold mine next to me.”
Nana shook her hand off. “You are so shameless. Money grubber until the end. Hmph!”
They both laughed, and she said, “But, I’m happy that you are married now with the man you truly love. Liu Jinhai keeps you happy, right? He loves you, right? He takes care of you, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes. All answers are yes.” She lovingly looked at her ring. “He loves me so much that it’s overwhelming. Sometimes it still feels it’s all a dream.”
“Silly. You deserve this happiness. You have suffered a lot. Now it’s your turn to be happy. Lots and lots.”
Nana smiled. “So, when will you tell him this good news?”
Serena sheepishly smiled. “Today, after I return. I’m sure he will be thrilled.”
Nana said, “Alright. I will leave for Liu Corps now.”
“Ah? Why suddenly?”
“Well, I have to make up with my sulking husband. In the hospital, I felt a little off and saw him annoyed. I don’t know regarding what exactly.”
Serena giggled. “You have already become such a doting wife.”
Nana scratched her head in embarrassment.
—
Nana reached Jinhai’s office and slowly opened the door to peek inside. She saw he was sitting on his chair, facing the large floor to ceiling windows.
She quietly stepped inside and tiptoed towards him. Just as she was about to cover his eyes, Jinhai softly said, “Nana.”
She stopped mid-air.
He turned and pulled her to sit on his lap. She softly gasped and hung her arms around his neck.
She pouted. “How did you recognize me? I made no sound at all!”
He gently smiled. “Your fragrance.”
“Eh? But I didn’t put any perfume on me.”
The corner of his lips curled into a naughty smile. “Is that so?”
He leaned forward and brushed his nose on her neck, inhaling her scent. The tips of hers turned a shade of crimson.
“Well, what can I say? It’s your natural scent.”
“Pervert!”
He chuckled, and she asked. “So, why were you annoyed in the hospital today?”
“Was I?”
“Of course. You were so grimly looking at Serena. Your mood suddenly seemed a bit off.”
Jinhai seriously looked at her. “She was flirting with you. I didn’t like it.”
Nana rapidly blinked her eyes. “What? Flirting? When did she do that?”
He frowned. “How can you not remember? She called you ‘darling’ and she confessed that she could forget the rest of the world but not you. What is that if it isn’t flirting?”
She speechlessly looked at him.
“That is not flirting. She is just a little playful. She always talks like that.”
“Then tell her to stop doing so. You are my wife. If I say it’s flirting, then it’s flirting. I will not see anybody else calling you darling. I am here to call you that.”
Nana wished to bang her head on the wall.
“You know…you really don’t have to be jealous of Serena. Like you saw…she is a girl.”
“So?”
“Huh?”
Didn’t he get the meaning?
“She can be lesbian.”
Her mouth twitched.
“She is straight. She has dated guys in the past.”
“Then tell her to find a boyfriend.”
“She already has one. In fact, that’s what we talked about today. You know what?” Her face brightened in excitement. “She is also pregnant!”
“Oh?” He slowly raised his eyebrow, contemplating something.
“En! We are best friends, and now we are going to be mothers together! Isn’t it exciting?”
“En.”
She curiously asked as a thought struck her. “What if our children fell in love? I mean, if we have a boy and she has a girl or the reverse? We can be in-laws!”
Jinhai softly mumbled. “That would not be possible.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing.” He smiled. “So, how are you planning to brighten my mood again? You see…” his hand slowly made his way under her skirt going up, caressing her thighs. They were dangerously closing in towards her forbidden area. “I spent my whole morning in a bad mood. How will you make it up to me?”
Nana sensed the danger coming. He slapped his hands. “You! This is your office! Have some shame.”
“That is correct. This is my office so we can do whatever we want. Who dares to stop Liu Jinhai?”
Nana tried to wriggle and get up, but he had tightly held her. He squeezed her thigh as he caught the back of her head to dive into a deep kiss. He only let her go when they both were short of oxygen.
Her lips were swollen, and her face turned bright red. She cleared her throat and said, “I-I should take my leave. You must be busy.”
She thought she would be really taken in his office if she didn’t escape now.
She once again tried to get up, and she expected that he wouldn’t let her go, but to her surprise, he released her waist. She slightly frowned in confusion as she found this very suspicious.
Jinhai silently chuckled as he saw her running away like prey. But then again, he was also a hunter.
When Nana tried to open the door, it didn’t budge. She moved the handle many times, and then she realized that the door was locked.
She nervously laughed. “I think the door is locked. Strange, right? I don’t remember locking it, haha…”
But she didn’t hear any response.
She felt a light brush of cold air on her back, and she shivered. Jinhai was already standing, facing her back with a wicked smile on his face. He trapped her in between his long arms and rested his chin on her neck.
His hair was tickling her ears, and his warm breath was itching her skin.
“My dear wife, you came here by your choice but…you will leave by mine.”
Nana regretted coming here. She failed to understand that her husband is a beast!
“Y-you should be busy in meetings. I should not disturb you.”
“That is not a problem.” He picked up the intercom, and Xin said, “Sir.”
“My schedule is free for the next hour, right?”
“Sir, you have a meeting at-“
“My. schedule. is. free. for. the next. hour, right?” This time he said with a hint of cold warning in his tone.
“…”
“…Yes, sir. You have no meetings. It was my mistake. It is actually two hours later.”
Jinhai smiled in satisfaction. He said for one hour, and Xin tacitly understood to give two.
Nana was speechless.
How can you threaten your assistant?
Jinhai said, “See? I’m free.”
The heck you are free!
Before she could complain any further, Jinhai picked her up and headed towards the lounge in his office. In other words, it was a big bedroom that was built if in case he needed to stay overnight or just like now, have sex.
“You are a big bully!” She said aggrievedly.
“Only for you.” He quickly pecked her lips.
No matter how much she tried to struggle, it was all in vain. He gingerly put her on the bed and pressed his tall, sturdy body on her.
Two hours later, he finally pulled himself out of her, and she was gasping hard and breathing heavily.
Their disheveled clothes were already scattered on the floor. Both were entangled, naked in each other’s embrace.
She sulkily looked at him and gritted her teeth. “I wonder if you have truly never slept with any woman before.”
He put on a wronged expression. “How can you put such a grave accusation on me?”
“I don’t think a man with your stamina and desire can be celibate all these years!” She said as she felt her sore waist. She still felt the little vibrations in her core, reminding her of his overbearing lovemaking.
He pinched her jaw and harshly bit her chin.
“Mmpf!”
His dark eyes stared deeply at her. “Only you ignite these desires in me. Your eyes, your lips, your pale skin, everything seduces me. Whenever I look at you, I feel the strong urge to tear apart your clothes and have you then and there.”
She shuddered.
He said in a hoarse voice. “You should find yourself lucky that I let you go after some measly hours. If it’s up to me, I wish to lock you up for at least three days and make love to you until you cannot even lift your leg to get out of the bed.”
A-at least? So, how much is at most?
She didn’t dare to dwell on it.
“And shouldn’t you be happy about my stamina?” He whispered in her ear. “There are so many women who complain that their partners cannot satisfy them…neither stamina wise nor size-wise. I give you both.”
Her face turned beet red, and ears burned to the point that one can see steam coming out of them.
“You are shameless!”
He laughed, looking at his wife hissing like an angry cat.
His phone buzzed to see Xin had messaged about some work.
“I will quickly come back.” He pecked her forehead. He dressed up and went out.
Nana sighed. She rested for a little while and then changed into her dress. Her sight went onto a door at the corner of the lounge.
What is that? The bathroom is on the other side, so which room is this?
She walked towards it and stood in front of the door. She turned the handle and the door slightly opened. From the crack, she could only see that the room was dark. Just as she was about to fully open the door, she felt a hand on hers, stopping her midway.
