Chapter 454: Chapter 454 Golden Tycoon (19)
Jin Ning’s hand had been hot to the touch, only letting go after they disembarked the plane.
Jin Ning’s hand was burning hot; he tucked it into his sleeve and said to Chuzheng, “I want some water.”
“Wait a moment.”
Chuzheng left and quickly returned with a cup of warm water in hand.
Jin Ning took a sip and somehow tasted sweetness.
It was especially delicious.
...
–
Chuzheng didn’t take Jin Ning to the Jin Family Old House but booked a hotel instead.
Of course, Jin Ning had no intention of going either.
Still, someone came to see him.
The door opened by Chuzheng and in came a very beautiful woman, exuding the gentleness and grace of a lady from a traditional household in every aspect.
She looked at Chuzheng with a bit of curiosity; her gaze shifted and, upon seeing Jin Ning who she had wheeled over in a wheelchair, immediately brightened with a smile.
“Ning Ning.”
“Auntie.”
Jin Ning called out in a rather gentle tone.
The woman entered and gave Jin Ning a hug, “Auntie has missed you to death, you heartless thing, not even a phone call.”
Chuzheng closed the door calmly, her gaze icy as she stared at the woman hugging Jin Ning’s hand.
That’s mine!
Mine!!
“If someone hadn’t seen you at the airport, I wouldn’t have known about your arrival today,” Jin Rourou released him, her tone half complaining and half concerned.
“I didn’t want to trouble you.”
“What are you talking about? Auntie can’t wait to spoil you.”
Jin Rourou was the latecomer daughter of Old Master Jin and wasn’t much older than Jin Ning, just a few years his senior. She might be called auntie, but she was more like a sister.
And no one knew why, but Jin Rourou got along quite well with Jin Ning.
Their closeness was evident from the fact that Jin Rourou, despite her busy schedule, had made a point of visiting him at the hotel on the eve of the wedding.
Chuzheng leaned against the door, watching Jin Rourou chatting with Jin Ning.
At this moment, Jin Ning seemed to be more relaxed, a faint smile hanging on his lips, looking incredibly handsome.
The term “exceedingly handsome” wasn’t wrong at all!
That was the conversation Chuzheng had overheard between a girl who secretly took photos and her friend.
But him smiling so attractively at others…
That was not attractive at all.
Chuzheng felt annoyed.
She opened the door and left the room.
Jin Ning, hearing the door close, glanced that way and slightly furrowed his brows.
Jin Rourou immediately smiled and asked, “I meant to ask earlier, is that girl your girlfriend? You didn’t even introduce her, so I don’t know how to address her.”
“She…” Isn’t.
“You’re not getting any younger, a girlfriend would be good for you,” Jin Rourou spoke tenderly, “Xiao Chen told me you’ve been uncooperative with treatment. Ning Ning, if you don’t think for yourself, you should at least think about your girlfriend, right? How can you make her happy like this?”
When it came to the topic of treatment, Jin Ning showed a hint of resistance.
“You’re overthinking, Auntie.”
“Do you think I can’t tell?” Jin Rourou snorted lightly, “The way you looked when that girl left earlier was as if your own girlfriend had run off.”
“…” Was it that exaggerated?
All he did was glance over.
Jin Rourou spoke earnestly to him, focusing mainly on the topics of a girlfriend and treatment.
It wasn’t until there was a hiccup with the wedding arrangements that Jin Rourou got up to leave.
She opened the door and turned to see Chuzheng leaning by the door.
“Hello,” Jin Rourou greeted with a gentle smile, “What’s your name?”
That brat hadn’t mentioned the girl’s name until the end, making her wonder what he was hiding.
“Chuzheng.” Chuzheng replied indifferently.
“Chu Zheng?”
Jin Rourou didn’t dare say that she found the name appealing.
“I’m Ning Ning’s auntie; I was preoccupied talking with Ning Ning earlier, my apologies.” She paused, then gave an encouraging fist-pump, “It’s going to be a hassle for you to take care of Ning Ning, but you can do it!”
Chuzheng: “…”
What the hell!?
Why should someone else’s Good Person Card bother me?
–
Chuzheng pushed open the door and went in; seeing her return, Jin Ning felt an inexplicable sense of relief, not understanding what he had been worried about.
“That was my auntie.”
He took the initiative to explain.
“Hmm.” Chuzheng nodded, “Are you hungry?”
“…”
Jin Ning wasn’t very hungry, so he shook his head.
“Let’s take a bath first,” Chuzheng said, pushing him towards the bathroom.
The hotel’s bathroom was not like the one in his apartment, which had been specially modified.
Taking a bath here was a bit of a challenge for Jin Ning.
“Let me help you,” Chuzheng said calmly and sincerely.
Must strive to earn the Good Person Card!
“No need…” Jin Ning squeezed out two words: “No need to wash, I’m clean…”
“Take a bath,” Chuzheng suddenly bent down, her warm breath spilling on his ear: “Be obedient, I don’t like the scent of others on you.”
Jin Ning’s heartbeat skipped half a beat suddenly.
Jin Rourou had sprayed perfume, and now Jin Ning was entirely enveloped in that scent.

It wasn’t unpleasant.
But she didn’t like it.
It had to be washed off.
“I’ll wash myself,” Jin Ning took a deep breath: “You go out first.”
“You’re not capable.”
“I can.”
Chuzheng paused for a few seconds: “Call me if you need help.”
Jin Ning watched Chuzheng leave, and his lifted heart finally settled down.
He opened his palm, sweaty and clammy all over.
His tense body leaned against the wheelchair, and he looked up at the bathroom light.
“Knock knock…”
The sound seemed to tap on the tip of Jin Ning’s heart.
Causing ripples of sensation.
“What… what is it?”
“I’ve put your clothes at the door,” the girl’s light and brisk voice came through.
“…Okay.”
Jin Ning turned on the shower, and the sound of water rushing drowned out all other sounds.
Jin Ning sat in the bathroom, his gaze cold as he looked at his legs that, no matter how hard he tried, had no sensation at all.
—Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should at least think about your girlfriend, right?
The words of Jin Rourou echoed in his ears.
Jin Ning’s thoughts drifted to Chuzheng for no apparent reason.
He shook his head and splashed his face with water.
What was he thinking about?
–
“Clang—”
The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open in a flash.
The showerhead pointed skyward, and water cascaded down, shrouded in mist.
The man’s well-defined body was fully exposed.
He was fine, just sitting there properly; it was just the showerhead that had fallen to the floor, likely because he wasn’t used to the setting and had let it slip.
Jin Ning was stunned for a full ten seconds before he hastily grabbed a towel from beside him and draped it over himself: “You… why did you just barge in?”
“Should I have taken off my clothes first?”
“…” Jin Ning was taken aback: “I meant, what are you doing here!?”
Chuzheng stood at the door, her face blurred by the mist.
She took two steps inside: “It would be very troublesome if you died.”
Just got rewound!
As a girl, she shouldn’t be rewound!
Only she could choose to rewind!
[…] Psycho!
“I’m fine, you can go out now,” Jin Ning’s voice trembled slightly, for some reason he couldn’t fathom, and he dared not let his gaze settle on her.
Chuzheng didn’t leave.
Instead, she walked in, bent down to pick up the showerhead from the floor, turned off the water, and put it back in its place.
She leaned over, silent, examining him; her cool eyes seemed veiled in mist, making them indecipherable.
The Good Person Card doesn’t work without me, huh.
Just refuses to be obedient.
Kind of troublesome.
But he can’t be killed off.
Even more troublesome…
Jin Ning met Chuzheng’s gaze and subconsciously gripped the towel around him.
Chuzheng’s hands slipped under his knees and, with a bit of effort, she lifted him up.
It was as easy as if she were carrying a large pet.
Jin Ning: “!!!”
