Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As usual, Liang Xun got off work an hour early and returned home, leaving a lot of work to Gu Yu.
As soon as the door opened, Jing Yao looked at him in surprise. “You’re back.”
Liang Xun nodded, thinking about something. His expression could not help but darken.
Jing Yao frowned slightly and walked up to him. There was uneasiness in her voice. “What’s wrong? Did you encounter something unhappy today?”
Only then did Liang Xun realize that he didn’t look too good. He reached out to touch the girl’s smooth hair and smiled. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”
Jing Yao was still a little worried. “Then let Auntie cook dinner.”
Liang Xun smiled. “I still have the strength to cook.”
Jing Yao pursed her lips and looked at Liang Xun disapprovingly.
A trace of a smile flashed across Liang Xun’s eyes. He lowered his head slightly and leaned in front of Jing Yao. “I’ll definitely be energetic if you kiss me. I won’t be tired at all.”
Jing Yao looked up at him. She knew that Liang Xun’s words were baseless, but she still tiptoed slightly and kissed the corner of his lips briskly.
Liang Xun was stunned for a moment. He suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around Jing Yao’s waist, pulling her towards him. Then, he kissed the girl’s soft lips and rubbed against them gently.
Jing Yao’s heart raced and she instinctively reached out to grab Liang Xun’s clothes.
A strange look flashed across Liang Xun’s eyes. He quickly pried open the girl’s lips and teeth and kissed her anxiously and fiercely.
Jing Yao’s legs went weak and her face turned red.
After a long while, Liang Xun retreated a little, but his hand was still around the girl’s waist.
This was not the first time he had done such an intimate act, but it was usually when Liang Xun was “drunk”.
Jing Yao was in a daze, as if she had yet to come back to her senses.
Liang Xun found it funny. He took Jing Yao’s hand and pulled her to the sofa to sit down.
“Watch TV for a while. I’ll go cook.” Liang Xun helped Jing Yao turn on the television and went to the kitchen to cook.
At this time, the television was basically filled with news from all over the country. The reporters’ voices were a little distorted. Jing Yao didn’t listen to anything. She seemed to be thinking about many things, but she also didn’t really think about anything.
In less than an hour, Liang Xun came to call Jing Yao for dinner. Then he found that Jing Yao was still in a daze. The television was on, but her attention was obviously not on it.
Liang Xun was helpless and amused. He had thought about it in the company for the entire afternoon today. Jing Yao was not completely indifferent to him. She was just uneasy and instinctively wanted to escape.
Then he would defeat her one step at a time. Since she was uneasy, he would give her a sufficient sense of security. If she wanted to escape, he would be more proactive. One day, he would succeed.
“Let’s go and eat.” Liang Xun turned off the television.
Jing Yao came back to her senses and sat at the dining table.
Liang Xun scooped a bowl of soup for Jing Yao first. The auntie made this soup according to the method Liang Xun gave her before she left. During the process, she removed the oil floating on the top layer again and again so that Jing Yao wouldn’t feel greasy when she drank it.
The two of them were still the same as before. Liang Xun’s attention was basically on Jing Yao and he kept putting food into her bowl.
As Jing Yao ate, she suddenly said, “Liang Xun, I have something to tell you.”
Liang Xun had a feeling that she was going to say something. His actions just now must have made her feel that he had gone overboard again and wanted to distance herself from him.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after that. I have something to tell you too.”
Since Liang Xun said so, Jing Yao put down her thoughts and ate seriously. Liang Xun always told her over and over again that it was not good for her stomach if she thought about problems while eating.
After dinner, Liang Xun put on a coat for her and brought her to the courtyard for a walk.
“Liang Xun, I think we…”
Before Jing Yao could finish, Liang Xun said, “Let me speak first. Jing Yao, I’m telling you seriously now. I like you and want to live with you for the rest of my life. Also, I lied to you back then. I didn’t marry you for the sake of the child. We didn’t get married by agreement. That agreement isn’t legal at all. Our marriage is real and effective. If you choose to divorce, half of the Liang Corporation’s assets will be yours.”
Jing Yao was stunned and looked at Liang Xun in disbelief.
“I know what you’re thinking, but Jing Yao, even if you don’t like me that much, I hope you can give me a chance. You don’t have to feel burdened. I can do everything by myself. You just have to promise me not to escape.”
Jing Yao’s eyes were red and she could not reject him.
Liang Xun sighed slightly and pulled her into his arms. Soon, he felt a wet patch on his chest.
Jing Yao must be touched by what he said, but she was even more at a loss, not knowing what to do next..
