Chapter 359: I like you very much
“It’s alright.”
Jiaren Wu drew a heart shape on the ground with her on the left and Wei Shuyi on the right. She then pointed her phone at her masterpiece and said to Wei Shuyi, “I want to come here with you.”
Wei Shuyi replied, “We can go there during our honeymoon.”
Jiaren Wu laughed.
“If you want a honeymoon, you have to get married first.”
Wei Shuyi agreed.
Jiaren Wu said she would wait and see.
“Will you rest during the Chinese Valentine’s Day?”
Jiaren Wu quickly scrolled through her phone’s calendar. They would return on the 22nd. The Chinese Valentine’s Day was on the 25th. She could take a leave of absence. “I can rest.” She asked Wei Shuyi, “What surprise do you plan to give me?”
“There is indeed a surprise.”
“Oh? What is it?”
Wei Shuyi replied, “I have to maintain a sense of mystery. You have to discover it yourself.”
“Hmph.”
On Wei Shuyi’s side, there was probably a patient who came to ask about his situation. He said to Jiaren Wu, “Someone’s here. Let’s talk again later. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Okay.”
The video ended very quickly.
Jiaren Wu took a selfie with her phone. Through the camera, she saw the man standing behind her.
Dongli Shenghua was wearing a white silk casual suit and black sandals. He was standing on a pile of sand and looking at her. Jiaren Wu kept her phone and looked back at him. She asked, “Mr. Dongli, how long have you been here?”
Dongli Shenghua answered, “For a while.”
He looked down and tapped the wristwatch on his other wrist with his finger. “It’s dinner time.”
Jiaren Wu walked toward him. “Let’s go then.”
He added, “You have to wear a gown to enter.”
Jiaren Wu looked helpless. “It seems like I can’t accompany you then. I didn’t bring a gown.”
However, he said, “I’ve prepared it for you.”
Jiaren Wu felt strange.
“Mr. Dongli, this is not an official occasion, nor is it a place where I have to accompany you. As for the gown, let’s skip it.”
However, Dongli Shenghua said, “There’s no reason to take back what I gave you.” It was a light sentence that had a deeper meaning.
Jiaren Wu pursed her lips and finally nodded. “I’ll go change then.”
When Jiaren Wu appeared in the open-air restaurant, even the conductor of the band was surprised.
She was dressed in a black high slit gown with a golden belt at the thinnest part of her waist. The neckline of the dress was designed to be heart-shaped and had a row of diamonds embedded in it. Her collarbone was elegant and slender. Her exposed arms were thin but not lacking in strength.
Jiaren Wu’s hair was tied up and braided at both sides. There was not a single strand of hair on her face.
Her charming face was openly revealed to everyone.
She was beautiful.
The stars tonight and the candlelight in the dining room were just her foil.
With both hands on the wooden fence of the outdoor dining room, Dongli Shenghua heard a sudden silence in the dining room. He turned around and saw Jiaren Wu standing at the door. When he saw her, he was a little dazed. In this gown, she looked even more like “her.”
Jiaren Wu lowered her head and used her fingers to pull up her skirt.
It was true that she liked to show her waist, but she did not like to show her legs. She always felt awkward.
Using the fabric to cover her thighs, Jiaren Wu looked up and met the unexpectedly gentle gaze of Dongli Shenghua. It was as if he were looking at someone he deeply loved. This stunned her.
Who is he looking at through me?
Jiaren Wu quietly suppressed the suspicion in her heart and walked toward him.
“Mr. Dongli, have you been waiting for a long time?”
Dongli Shenghua pulled out a chair for her.
The two of them sat down. Only then did Dongli Shenghua say, “Not long.”
The outdoor dining room was built on the sea. It was about a hundred square meters in area and had ten square tables.
Most of the people who came for meals were couples.
Jiaren Wu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and drank the champagne.
When Dongli Shenghua saw that she had drunk the wine without any worries, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
Jiaren Wu saw him and asked, “Is Mr. Dongli very happy?”
Dongli Shenghua said, “You are finally willing to drink the wine I prepared for you.”
After a short pause, she explained, “It’s a professional habit.”
“I understand. The police of your anti-narcotics team usually don’t drink alcohol of unknown origin.”
Jiaren Wu picked up the glass of champagne and raised it to Dongli Shenghua. She said, “You’re not someone with an unknown background.”
If she wanted to seduce him, she had succeeded.
Dongli Shenghua was about to smile when the woman opposite him said, “After all, you are my employer.”
“Heh.”
Jiaren Wu didn’t expect that the restaurant Dongli Shenghua had chosen was the famous Ichaa Undersea restaurant in the Maldives; it was located on the sea. The name of the restaurant was very strange. There were symbols that Jiaren Wu did not recognize, which looked a little like an S.
Having been here for only a few days, Jiaren Wu was not used to the food here. This restaurant’s food tasted slightly better.
She suddenly said, “I miss pig trotters so much.”
Dongli Shenghua seemed to be stunned for a moment.
He whispered, “None of the Muslim countries eat pork.”
Jiaren Wu also whispered, “I just feel like eating pig trotters.” Thinking of pig trotters made her think of her Brother Wei.
When he looked at Jiaren Wu’s gaze, it became obvious that she was thinking about something else or… someone else.
When Dongli Shenghua thought about how this woman, who had a similar face to “her,” missed someone else in front of him, he got a little angry. “Miss Wu, what do you think of Xiao Ao’s suggestion?” His voice was as cold as usual.
Jiaren Wu was stunned.
Xiao Ao’s suggestion?
“What suggestion?”?Why can’t I remember?
Soon, Dongli Shenghua gave her an answer that almost scared her to death.
He said, “About the suggestion to be his stepmother.”
Jiaren Wu was shocked.
After a moment, she regained her composure. “Don’t joke with me, Mr. Dongli.” Jiaren Wu wiped her mouth. She was already full. She looked directly into Dongli Shenghua’s eyes. Her eyes were black and white, and her gaze was open and honest. She said, “It’s fine if Young Master Dongli likes to joke, but Mr. Dongli is already an adult. Why are you talking nonsense like him?”
Dongli Shenghua’s gaze was fiery as if he could burn Jiaren Wu’s soul.
“It’s not a joke,” he said.
Jiaren Wu’s pupils contracted.
“Do you know what you’re talking about, Mr. Dongli?”
Nodding, the man who always had a cold expression showed the courage to say something that would shock people to death. He added. “If I really want to find a mother for Xiao Ao, I think Miss Wu is a good choice.”
Dongli Shenghua paused and stared at Jiaren Wu’s face with an unimaginable expression. He said sternly, “I like you very much.”
Even though Jiaren Wu had experienced many bloody scenes, she was still a little stunned on hearing his words.
She suddenly stood up.
Her black dress swayed. Under the light, her face appeared cold and angry.
Dongli Shenghua looked up at her, his gaze filled with nostalgia.
She looked even more like that person when she was angry.
“Mr. Dongli.” Jiaren Wu smiled. Every word that came out of her mouth was more merciless than the last. “Mr. Dongli has a rich history of love. I can’t handle it. Put away the tricks you use on others. They’re useless to me.”
Dongli Shenghua asked. “Are you blaming me for my messy feelings?”
“Do I need to complain?” Jiaren Wu asked. “Isn’t that the truth?”
Dongli Shenghua said, baffled, “I understand.”
What did he understand?
Dongli Shenghua did not explain to her. He also stood up and said to her, “You’ve had a good night. Rest early.”
Jiaren Wu was speechless.
In the blink of an eye, the person who was just confessing to her asked her to rest early.
It was too baffling and temperamental.
That night, Jiaren Wu was distraught.
She was not troubled by Dongli Shenghua’s confession.
Even if the person she didn’t love dug out his heart and presented it to her, she would not care.
The reason she was distraught was that she suspected Dongli Shenghua was testing her again.
What is he trying to do!
***
The next day, Dongli Shenghua stayed in the hotel for the entire day.
On the morning of the third day, Jiaren Wu woke up early, packed her luggage, and knocked on the door of the Dongli Shenghua’s room.
He had already packed his things. There was only one suitcase with him.
“Are you done packing?” he asked Jiaren Wu.
Jiaren Wu nodded.
Dongli Shenghua said, “Let’s go back then.”
In the afternoon, the plane arrived at Binjiang City.
Together with Dongli Shenghua, she walked out of the VIP lane and exited the airport. Jiaren Wu then placed their belongings in the trunk of the car.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Jiaren Wu heard the chauffeur, Old Chen, ask Shenghua. “Sir, are we going to the company or home?”
“Let’s go home…”
“Okay.”
There was no noise in the car the entire way back.
When they arrived at Dragon Harbor, Jiaren Wu helped Dongli Shenghua carry his things home. Dongli Ao was kneeling on the carpet and playing with his Transformer. When he saw Jiaren Wu, he took a second look. Jiaren Wu sensed his gaze and turned to look at him. At this moment, Dongli Ao snorted again and lowered his head to continue playing with his transformer.
Jiaren Wu didn’t want to interfere.
Dongli Shenghua showered, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
When he saw that Jiaren Wu was still standing in the living room, he said, “You can go back first. It’s alright today.”
“Okay.”
Jiaren Wu turned around and left without looking back.
But Dongli Ao looked up at her back.
Suddenly, a cool hand landed on his head.
Dongli Ao looked up and saw Dongli Shenghua. He gloomily said, “Daddy.”
“You really like her?”
Dongli Ao pursed his lips and did not speak. It looked like he was about to cry.
Dongli Shenghua asked again, “Do you like her? Answer me honestly.”
Dongli Ao nodded.
“I do.”
“Then let’s…” Seeing his son staring at him with a face full of anticipation, Dongli Shenghua curved his cold lips and laughed. He said, “Let’s snatch her.”
