Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 67: Caught in the act

Qin Zhuzhu went red in the face. She shot Shentu Jing an accusing look and buried her face in her hands. How would she have to face them? How embarrassing!

Apparently, old master Shentu and Shentu Dong were pleased. Ning Ning, Shentu Jing’s stepmother didn’t have any expression.

"Grandpa, dad, how are you?" Shentu Jing shot them a sheepish smile.

Old master Shentu smiled knowingly at him. Shentu Dong stepped forward.

"Uh, Ah Jing, how about we talk about it at home? This is....too public," he chuckled nervously.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Jiang Zhaoling was watching them from far away. She held her binoculars up.

"No manners. Doing it in public," she muttered angrily to herself. But everyone heard her.

In the Shentu mansion.

"Was my grandson better than your ex husband?" Old master Shentu asked all of a sudden.

Qin Zhuzhu: "..."

They saw her kiss him... Qin Zhuzhu felt embarrassed and wanted to hide in a crack or somewhere. She hated to admit it but her first kiss was taken by Stinky Jing, not Xu Meng. When they were still husband and wife, Xu Meng wouldn’t even touch her or go near her as if she was some filthy thing.

She thought that Xu Meng was just cold but after some time, she noticed the disdain and contempt in his eyes whenever he looked at her.

It was then she realized how much Xu Meng detested her. He called every single nasty damn name in every book of insults. He pretended to act nice to her but behind closed doors, he would insult her or look at her as if she was the dirtiest shameless thing in the world.

Qin Zhuzhu’s ears burnt up again. As soon as she thought about Shentu Jing’s kiss, she would feel lightheaded and giddy. Even her stomach feels funny, like there was butterflies flying about.

Oh shit! What was going on with her? The atmosphere suddenly feels hot.

Shentu Jing was about to walk into the room but he heard his grandpa mention Xu Meng, so he stopped outside. Maybe he should eavesdrop on their conversation.

Old master Shentu kept looking at Qin Zhuzhu hopefully like a little child begging for candies. The old master can be wilful like a child sometimes to get what he wants.

"He’s... definitely better than Xu Meng," Qin Zhuzhu felt a little awkward.

Hearing Qin Zhuzhu say good things about him made him pleased. Shentu Jing tried to hide the smile on his face as he proudly walked into the room. Ning Ning came in with a tray carrying tea.

Qin Zhuzhu had noticed that Ning Ning didn’t treat her as warmly as the others. She was always expressionless as if she forced herself to remain calm. The woman looked tense and stiff whenever they came face to face. She chatted for a while with Old Master Shentu.

"I need to go. I feel a little sleepy," She quickly excused and ran out of the living room.

She went up to her room and locked the door behind her. Then she facepalmed herself. Damn it! Why did she have to run away so suspiciously?

The kiss from earlier was still on her mind. She could feel his soft pressure on her lips even though he was no longer there.

"Qin Zhuzhu, what are you thinking about?! How could you think like this? It’s just a kiss, just a kiss from a mad man. That’s all," Qin Zhuzhu reassured herself and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face.

Then she wiped her face and threw herself down on the bed, trying to sleep. However she couldn’t sleep and ended up tossing and turning. Somehow she felt like something was missing....something to accompany her to sleep...or someone... An image of a man’s strong arms wrapped around her body as they slept innocently together flashed in her mind.

She shot straight up and groaned. Again, why was she thinking about that? She must be very stressed and tired so that’s why. Qin Zhuzhu had a hard time falling asleep because a certain someone kept on invading her thoughts.

In the middle of the night, in the living room there were two figures seated on the couch. The faint light from the chandelier shone down on the man and woman.

"There’s two months left until Chu’er’s marriage. Old master, do you really want to marry him to the Qiao’s girl?" Ning Ning asked once Qin Zhuzhu left for some hours.

Old master Shentu looked unperturbed as he calmly sipped his tea.

Ning Ning was getting anxious already. Why was he so calm?

The old man resembled an immortal sitting on top of the mountains, calm and collected with no care in the world.

"Father..." Ning Ning called Old Master Shentu ’father’ because he was her father in law and out of respect.

"Why did you agree to it? Even if your youngest son had made a mistake at that time, you have already repaid the Qiao family. You don’t need to sacrifice Chu’er for the sake of the Shentu family," her brows creased in worry. Ning Ning couldn’t stand the silence. The old master seemed to be testing her patience.

"Since when did you start to worry about Chu’er? Chu’er isn’t your son. Your son is Mingye," Old Master Shentu’s eyes were cold all of sudden. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"I know who my son is. What I want to say is, Chu’er is actually her-"

"Shut up!" Old master Shentu hissed at her angrily and bang his cane against the wooden floor.

The sound wasn’t loud but it struck Ning Ning’s heart with fear like a thunderbolt.

Seeing the old man’s frightening eagle-like eyes, Ning Ning shrank back and gulped.

Shentu Jing went to his room to get a change of clothes. He planned to visit his Little Pearl soon so he needed to look fresh and clean.

"Boss, did you see the news?" Han Juexian was already in the room. He sprinted towards his boss and helped take his coat off.

"Did you?! Did you?!" Ding Yu repeated excitedly like a parrot.

"What news?" Shentu Jing undid his cuffs.

"Xu Meng finally announced his engagement to Bai Qianhua! And the sales of the Bai family suddenly shot up!"
