Chapter 75: Took my daughter out_1
She failed to feed him that bite.
Shen Jing put down her chopsticks and leaned close to Zhou Luchen’s ear. "Quite a coincidence, Boss Zhou."
Zhou Luchen continued to sip his tea unhurriedly. "You like bringing her up, don’t you? Just make sure the cat and the person don’t run off later."
"The person can leave, but the cat stays. You can keep it," Shen Jing said, sitting upright and no longer leaning against Zhou Luchen. After all, he wasn’t greeting her, so she minded her own business and continued eating.
Zhou Luchen laughed. "I’m not coaxing you."
Shen Jing turned her face away. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Chen Yao had said that President Zhou only had one ex-girlfriend. She suddenly wasn’t sure which one it was. It was quite chaotic. After all, he had been overly good to Lu Siyuan. She really didn’t want to dig up things from the past.
Lu Siyuan stopped not far away. "What a coincidence."
Zhou Luchen’s hand rested on the backrest as he gave Lu Siyuan a lazy look.
Shen Jing lost her appetite. She stood up expressionlessly and deliberately bumped Zhou Luchen’s arm. "You eat. I’m going to the washroom."
Passing by Lu Siyuan, Lu Siyuan nodded with a smile, devoid of any hostility.
Shen Jing smiled as well and walked straight away.
Shen Jing didn’t look for the washroom. Instead, she found where Zhuang Ming had parked the car, opened the door, got in, and went to sleep.
Zhuang Ming didn’t speak at first, but sensing the subtle atmosphere and seeing that his Second Young Master hadn’t returned after a while, he asked, "Where’s the Second Young Master?"
Shen Jing closed her eyes. "He has a date with a beauty, is that so strange?"
She chose this path, so she’d have to endure his philandering.
Indeed, he did have a date with a beauty; Lu Siyuan was sitting opposite Zhou Luchen.
This time, Lu Siyuan just wanted to see Zhou Luchen. There was longing, and there was jealousy. Seeing Shen Jing feed him that slice of fish, she truly wanted to disrupt their flirtatious moment. She was green with envy.
Lu Siyuan carefully poured tea for him, holding the teapot and slowly filling the cup seven-tenths full. "How come Miss Shen left?"
The fragrance of tea wafted through the air. He responded indifferently, "You just love to bully her."
Lu Siyuan’s smile remained constant. "Is Boss Zhou being protective now?"
Lu Siyuan was exceptionally adept at handling people. Actresses in the industry who were her rivals didn’t dare provoke her. After so many years in the entertainment industry, her mind was no longer innocent. She only held back because she was wary of Zhou Luchen; she wouldn’t stoop to playing excessive games that would displease him.
Zhou Luchen raised an eyebrow. "Haven’t I protected you before?"
He had. He hadn’t made a big deal about the online issues. He had even intentionally shown the C Brand incident to Shen Jing and hadn’t scolded Lu Siyuan once, acting as if nothing had happened. Lu Siyuan said in a low voice, "But Boss, you obviously protect her more. Her emotions are written all over her face. She left the moment she saw me. It wasn’t like this before; I used to be able to appear by your side freely."
Zhou Luchen only said, "Don’t get any ideas about the women by my side."
Lu Siyuan looked into his eyes but couldn’t read their depths. "You don’t love her."
"Whether I love her or not, it’s not up to others to bully her," Zhou Luchen said in a very light voice, yet it was a tone that brooked no challenge to his dignity and status.
Lu Siyuan managed a forced smile. Indeed, once Shen Jing was with him, no one would dare to harm a single hair on her head or try any nonsense in his presence.
Whether Young Master Zhou loved her or not, only he himself could bully her. He had always protected her like this in the past. He’d made his woman jealous. Could you go and coax her for Young Master Zhou? Young Master Zhou found coaxing women quite bothersome. Being so high and mighty, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He’d just give money—take it or leave it. If they didn’t want it, they should stay away. He was just a young master seeking pleasure, not someone who enjoyed the constant cloying affection of coaxing and sweet talk.
Lu Siyuan pulled her thoughts back and looked across at him.
He only took a few sips of tea. When he glanced down at his wristwatch, he frowned slightly, then took out his phone and left.
Zhuang Ming, who had been waiting by the car, finally saw his Second Young Master arrive and promptly opened the car door.
As soon as he got into the car, Shen Jing immediately leaned in close to his face. "Twenty minutes! What kind of ’beauty tea’ were you drinking?"
"Damn you," Zhou Luchen pinched her waist.
Shen Jing, ticklish, laughed and said, "Wasn’t I just giving the Second Young Master space to have tea with the beauty? If I were there, it would be rivals meeting. What if we started arguing? You always take her side, so wouldn’t I end up as the pitiful one with no one to protect me?"
Zhou Luchen scoffed.
Shen Jing hadn’t expected to run into Lu Siyuan. "I’m not treating you to meals anymore. I originally wanted to thank you for solving my stepfather’s problem in just one day."
Zhou Luchen was genuinely angry. What did she take him for, leaving him there without a word? Inviting someone to a meal with such a poor attitude.
Shen Jing wanted to rest her head on his thigh, but Zhou Luchen coldly moved away, not letting her touch him, not even casting her a glance.
Shen Jing looked at him with a pitiful gaze. Was she not even allowed to touch the hem of his clothes?
She tried again.
Zhou Luchen really wasn’t going to let her use his thigh as a pillow.
"Zhou Luchen..."
His long arm rested on the car window, his fist propping up his cheek. He looked indifferent. "Don’t touch me."
Shen Jing turned her face away, leaning against the window in a daze, occasionally glancing at him. The man’s profile was sharply defined and resolute. He didn’t look at her once.
How could he be so heartless?
Time dragged on.
Shen Jing eventually dozed off leaning there.
The heater was on, and she hadn’t taken off her blazer. Her cheeks were flushed red from the heat, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and strands of damp hair clung together.
She disliked the cold. Turn on the heater, and she’d sweat; turn on the air conditioning, and she’d be too cold. The little vixen was indeed hard to please.
Zhou Luchen touched her cheek with his fingers. His gaze was fixed on the CD screen outside the car window as he said dispassionately, "Indeed, no acting skills."
Zhuang Ming glanced at the rearview mirror, saw his expression, and quickly understood. "Understood. I’ll handle Miss Lu’s matter."
「Upon entering the Yunding underground parking garage, Zhuang Ming opened the rear passenger door.」
Miss Shen was asleep again.
Zhou Luchen walked around the back of the car, bent down from the other side, and scooped her up by the waist. Disturbed in her sleep, she hummed twice and mumbled, "Don’t."
Zhou Luchen lowered his gaze to her. "Don’t what?"
She murmured softly, "Your wristwatch is cold, and it’s poking my butt."
"Get down and walk yourself," he chided lightly.
"I don’t want to either."
The man’s broad palm squeezed her bottom tighter, teasing her wickedly.
Shen Jing’s legs clamped tightly around Zhou Luchen’s lean yet firm waist; she just loved to wrap herself around him like that.
Her bag, phone, hair clips, and various candies and snacks were all neatly arranged on the console in the back seat.
Sometimes Zhou Luchen really didn’t understand why she liked to carry so many little things when she went out. He always had to clean up after her. Not only did he have to carry her out of the car, but he also had to free a hand to carry all these miscellaneous items.
The chauffeur, who maintained the car daily, often found various snacks and hairpins neatly tucked away in the storage compartments. You couldn’t throw them away, because she would make a fuss if you did. You couldn’t move them either. If even one was missing, she would interrogate him, asking if he had other "women" on the side.
She might appear subservient, but in reality, she was the type to stake her claim, attempting to permeate every aspect of his life.
Zhuang Ming gathered everything, packed it into her bag, and handed it to Zhou Luchen.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like the Second Young Master had brought his daughter out. It wasn’t clear if he was serious about her, but ever since Miss Shen moved in, the Second Young Master always returned to Yunding to stay. The Zhou Family had always disapproved of his debauched lifestyle. With their joint ventures going international, they worried his amorous affairs would affect their collective reputation, but they still didn’t dare interfere in the Second Young Master’s business. After he did her a small favor, Miss Shen suggested treating him to a meal. Her intentions were quite innocent. But why just a meal? Perhaps a man would prefer a different kind of reward.
The elevator doors closed. Zhuang Ming got back in the car and drove off.
