His little girl. How interesting. He was so happy that he couldnât help but give her another kiss on the tip of her nose.
When he felt that the person in his arms was tenser and his breathing was lighter, he silently smiled.
Forget it. He was kind enough to let her go today. Although it was really hard to endure.
..
Ye Zhenâs body had been tensed up the whole time, and she had been controlling her breathing. She was scared to death. More importantly, she regretted it.
Why did you push him when you had nothing to do? Why did you twist when you had nothing to do? Is It Alright Now? Did I provoke him?
She didnât think that she was the âVictimâin this matter. She just felt that she shouldnât have done that at all.
She endured, endured, and waited. She had been waiting nervously for Li Junsheng to really fall asleep.
Throughout this process, she kept her body tensed up, not daring to move an inch. In the end, she was so tired that her eyes became heavier and heavier, and her consciousness became more and more blurry.
In the end, her tensed up body finally relaxed slowly, and she really fell asleep.
After she fell asleep, Li Junsheng opened his eyes and looked at the little girlâs hand that she held even when she was asleep. He could not help but laugh.
She was still holding on for quite a while. He had underestimated her. It had been hard on her.
He picked up her hand and put it away. He adjusted it to a relatively comfortable position, but also a more intimate position with him. Only then did Li Junsheng fall asleep with her in his arms, satisfied.
As for the neckline that she accidentally revealed when she fell asleep, well, that would be his benefit.
He didnât want to help her pull her clothes up properly.
..
When Ye Zhen woke up in the morning, Li Junsheng was no longer in the room. She heaved a sigh of relief and couldnât help but look at the pajamas on her body.
She couldnât remember when she fell asleep yesterday. But she was sure that Li Junsheng was a gentleman yesterday and didnât take advantage of her.
However, she quickly thought of the two kisses. That still counted as taking advantage of her, right?
She shook her head and decided to keep her distance from Li Junsheng next time. Definitely, Definitely.
Looking at the time, Ye Zhen quickly went to the bathroom to wash up. When she returned to her room, she realized that Li Junsheng had gone back to his room.
âGood Morning.â
Li Junsheng looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes. She realized that Li Junsheng liked to smile when he looked at her.
As the saying goes, you shouldnât hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand. Every time she saw Li Junsheng smiling at her so warmly, no matter how uncomfortable ye Zhen felt, she couldnât seem to express it.
It wasnât just her discomfort that couldnât be expressed? If she wanted to stay away from Li Junshengâs thoughts, she would always be defeated by his smiling face.
It was already against the rules for a man to be good-looking. It was even more against the rules for a man to smile frequently when he was good-looking and also smile very well.
âHere. Your Clothes.â
Li Junsheng was carrying two bags in his hands. âMy sisterâs clothes might be a size too big for you. This is bought according to your size.â
Li Wanyu wore an M, but ye Zhen was too thin and could only wear an s.
Ye Zhen looked at Li Junsheng. He went out so early to buy clothes for her? She was just a fake girlfriend. Why did he have to be so nice to her?
âDonât misunderstand. I bought it yesterday. I forgot to give it to you when I was discussing business with my dad in the study.âLi Junsheng smiled and stood in front of her.
She had just washed her face. There were a few strands of wet hair on her forehead. He raised his hand to clip the wet hair behind her ear. He looked at the stiffness and wariness in her eyes.
âChange your clothes. Come Down and eat after youâre done.â
His eyes were so gentle that ye Zhen had completely forgotten about the uneasiness from last night. And about the decision to keep a distance from him.
Li Junsheng smiled and reached out to rub the top of her hair. âThen hurry up and change your clothes. Iâll wait for you.â
He smiled and straightened his body. He took a step back and left. But after leaving the house, the smile on his face faded a little.
The little girl wanted to keep a distance from him. Tsk. What an unfriendly thought. But it didnât matter. He would make the little girl give up on this idea.
The light that flashed in Li Junshengâs eyes was definitely not gentle. If ye Zhen saw his appearance now, she would probably feel disillusioned.
Unfortunately, ye Zhen couldnât see it.
... ..
The Li family was all there for breakfast. The breakfast was very rich, but it was mainly chinese-style breakfast.
Li Qi looked at his son. They had talked about it last night, and there was nothing that he did not support. The Li family was powerful, and there were some complicated connections among them.
It would be good if his son could find a wife who could help him, but it did not matter if he did not. Even if he and his wife were free to fall in love, they wouldnât interfere with their childâs marriage. It was fine as long as they liked it.
Especially since that girl was professor Luâs granddaughter. Mm. Although she was still his real girlfriend for the time being, what did it matter? It would become real sooner or later.
Knowing their sonâs plan, the Li couple cooperated a hundred times. They had to help their son take her down no matter what, right?
After dinner, mother Li took ye Zhenâs hand and brought her to the living room to sit down. Li Junsheng, Li Wanyu, and a few others followed. Li Junsheng declared his sovereignty and sat down next to ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen felt the warmth coming from Li Junshengâs body and approached mother Li without leaving a trace.
Mother Li seemed to have not noticed her small movements. She picked up a box from her coffee table. She opened it, and inside was a jade-green bracelet.
âI rushed out yesterday and didnât give you a gift. Iâll make it up today. You can wear this and play with it.â
Ye Zhen looked at the bracelet. She wasnât from a small family. She could guess how much the bracelet was worth from its color.
âAuntie, itâs too expensive. I canât accept it.â
âWhatâs there to accept?âMother Li put the bracelet on ye Zhenâs hand as she spoke. âIf youâre with Jun Sheng in the future, youâll be part of the Li family. Itâs just a bracelet.â
âNo. Auntie, itâs really too expensive.âYe Zhen didnât forget her identity. She was just a fake girlfriend. How could she accept such an expensive gift?
âI said, wear it for fun.âAs she spoke, mother Li put the bracelet on ye Zhenâs hand, ignoring ye Zhenâs retreating hand.
âMom, didnât I ask you to give me that bracelet last time? Youâre biased. I asked you to give it to me, but you didnât, so you gave it to sister-in-law, right?â
This âSister-in-lawâmade ye Zhen Blush. Mother Li glanced at Li Wanyu and said, âYou talk too much. Have I given you less good things?â
âRich, rich, rich.âLi Wanyu smiled and turned to look at Li Qi. âDad, What are you giving me? You Canât possibly have nothing to show for it, right?â
Li Qi smiled and said, âYour sister-in-law will often come to Rong city in the future. How about this? Iâll give you a car.â
As he spoke, he looked at Li Junsheng and said, âI ordered a Maserati earlier. Itâll probably arrive in a few days. Zhen Zhen just happened to drive it.â
âThank you, Dad.âLi Junsheng thanked ye zhen on behalf of ye Zhen. Ye Zhen quickly waved her hand.
âUncle, thereâs really no need for that. I wonât accept a reward for nothing. How can I accept such an expensive gift?â
âItâs just a car. You can drive it for fun.âLi Qi seemed to have thought of something. âThereâs a house in the Western District. Iâll get them to renovate it. When you and Junsheng get married, itâll be used as a wedding room.â
Ye Zhen didnât know what to say. She turned around and glanced at Li Junsheng, indicating that he had rejected her.
Li Junsheng held her hand and smiled faintly. âDad, are you talking about the duplex apartment in the Western District?â
âYes. That apartment has a large area and a good view. Itâs perfect for the two of you to stay together.â
As he spoke, he glanced at ye Zhen again. âOf course, if ye Zhen doesnât like it, let Junsheng take you to pick it out later. You can decide where you like it first.â
âThereâs really no need.âYe Zhen was only here to pretend to be Li Junshengâs girlfriend. How could she have known that the people in their family would be so enthusiastic?
For a moment, she felt extremely guilty. When she met the sincere eyes of the Li familyâs parents and their friendly faces, she almost couldnât help but tell them everything.
âAunty, uncle, I really canât accept such an expensive gift. I actually donât ââ
Li Junsheng pinched her hand at the right time, making it impossible for her to finish her sentence. He looked at his parents with a smile.
âDad, Mom, look at you two. Youâre so anxious that Zhen Zhen is scared.â
âHow can I not be anxious?âMother Li looked at her son with a reproachful look. âWhy donât you take a look. Itâs because you never got married that Iâm still unable to carry a grandchild. âEvery day, I look at those two from the Huo family and I canât stop coveting them. âIâm not greedy. I donât even dare to think about having twins. âAs long as you give birth to one for me, Iâll like it no matter if youâre a man or a woman.â
Li Qi nodded. He agreed with Li Qi on this point. Who in Rongcheng didnât envy the Huo family now? So what if they were rich and powerful? They also needed people.
Why was Huo Jinyaoâs life so good? He got two in one go, and it just so happened to be a man and a woman. They had just gone to see Mrs. Huo on her birthday a while ago. The two little dolls had been raised to be fair and tender.
They were both lithe and lively. The old men were envious of them.
âZhen Zhen, donât be too nervous. In fact, these worldly possessions are really nothing. Compared to your grandfatherâs kindness to me, they are really not worth mentioning.â
âIf it werenât for Uncle Lu, I wouldnât be where I am now,âRich said seriously
â...âwhy did they suddenly bring up the topic of having a child? Ye Zhen was so embarrassed that her neck was red.
âDad, Mom, donât worry.âLi Junsheng put his hand on ye Zhenâs shoulder and pulled her into his arms. âWhen I marry Zhen Zhen, weâll definitely have a child.â
To be honest, he also liked the twins in Huo Jinyaoâs family. Besides, he couldnât stand Huo Jinyao showing off in front of him for no reason.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was actually the oldest among his childhood friends. Then there was Huo Jinyao. Now that Huo Jinyao was a father, he was hugging two girls at once.
Tsk, youâre bullying me because I donât have a girlfriend, arenât you? Itâs fine. Iâll start looking for one now.
âThatâs what you said. When the time comes, you must give birth to a few more.â
After mother Li finished speaking, she looked at ye Zhenâs uneasy face, she quickly patted her hand. âDonât be scared. Actually, if you donât want to give birth, you can give birth later. But, you have to have a child, right? Donât worry. There are many nannies at home. There are many people. You definitely donât have to worry about taking care of the child. You just have to give birth.â
âThatâs right, sister-in-law. If you give birth to a child now, my mother might even worship you.â
Li Wanyu teased. Mother Li glared at her. âYouâre the one who talks too much. If you have the ability, hurry up and get married. Hurry up and give birth to a grandson for me.â
âI donât want to get married so early. I still have to investigate.â
Li Wanyu stood up as she spoke. âThat sounds nice. As for me, Iâm going to investigate that person in my family.â. Sister-in-law, the same goes for you. You can properly investigate my brother. If you donât pass the test, donât marry him. Donât worry, I Trust My Brotherâs character. As long as you marry him, you can just wait to enjoy your life.â
Ye Zhen was really embarrassed. Before she came, she had imagined that she wouldnât be put in a difficult position because of a mismatched family.
On the contrary, she was either trying to hasten the birth or urge the marriage. Her attitude was so anxious that she could not help but wonder if Li Junsheng had some hidden illness.
Could it be that he really had a hidden illness?
The little girlâs thoughts were too shallow. Li Junsheng could almost guess what the little girl was thinking without even opening his mouth. He could not help but pinch her palm hard.
Ye Zhen misunderstood his meaning. She suddenly realized that she was pretending to be Li Junshengâs girlfriend.
Since that was the case, of course she had to act like it. She had to take on this responsibility and âActâwell as Li Junshengâs girlfriend.
Yes. Ye Zhen did not reject her anymore. At most, she could return it later. It was not a big deal.
Li Junsheng knew that the little girl had misunderstood, but it did not matter. The gifts given by the Li family could not be taken back.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Li Junsheng took ye Zhen out of the house. He informed his parents in advance that he wouldnât be back for lunch.
At noon, he made plans with Huo Jinyao and the others. Firstly, it had been a long time since he had a gathering with that group of people. Secondly, he introduced ye Zhen to them.
There was a consensus in their circle that if they met a partner they had chosen, they would definitely bring them into the circle so that they could get to know each other.
That was why when Huo Jinyao first met Su Qingsang. He even specially called them to Lin City to identify her.
It was the same now. Since Li Junsheng had chosen ye Zhen, he must let everyone in the circle know her.
..
Ye Zhen did not know the difference between them. Li Junsheng said that he had a few friends for lunch, but she did not want to go at first.
However, Li Junshengâs next sentence made her change her mind. âDonât you want me to help you take back the company? You know my identity. There are many things I canât do, but someone can.â
When ye Zhen saw Huo Jinyao, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The president of the Tian Domain Group? Was he good friends with Li Junsheng? And that Wan Xianyang, whom even the Dong family of Qingcheng treated like a distinguished guest?
The Tang familyâs hotels had already been opened all over the country. That Tang Mohan was actually Li Junshengâs childhood friend? Even if she had never met these people, she had heard of their names.
But to her surprise..
She suddenly understood what Li Junsheng meant.
She pretended to be his girlfriend, and in return, he introduced her to his network.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen suddenly felt a little guilty. Li Junshengâs reward was real. But her girlfriend didnât quite fit the bill.
Although Li Junsheng was chatting cheerfully with Huo Jinyao and the others, he also paid attention to ye Zhen from time to time.
When he noticed the change in her expression, the corners of his lips curled up silently.
Huo Jinyao was a shrewd person. He pouted at Su Qingsang and gestured for her to go and greet ye Zhen. Su Qingsang obediently sat next to ye Zhen.
âYoung Lady, youâre very innocent.âHuo Jinyao looked at Li Junsheng and asked in a low voice, âWhere did you hook me up?â
âSpeak properly. What do you mean by hook?âLi Junsheng smiled and sipped the wine in front of him. âI have boundless charm.â
âTSK. Wait until you have the ability to make a young lady fall in love with you. Then you can say that you have no charm.â
âItâs only a matter of time.âLi Junsheng clinked the wine glass in Huo Jinyaoâs hand.
âTch.âHuo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed. âI bet a hundred dollars that she wonât know your true colors.â
âYouâll lose even if you bet ten billion.âLi Junsheng chuckled. âIt doesnât matter if you donât know. You Wonât be able to escape once you know.â
His gentle side could be seen by the whole world. But his dark side and calculating side could only be seen by those close to him.
âIâll mourn for her for a few minutes.âHuo Jinyao clinked glasses with him. They were all very close, but when it came to being close, he was indeed closer to Li Junsheng.
Li Junsheng looked at ye Zhen, who was slowly letting go because Su Qingsang had gone to talk to her. Mourn for her? Heh. It was not so easy to escape after getting on his boat.
Thinking about it, it seemed like he really needed to mourn for ye Zhen.
..
After leaving the hotel, ye Zhen still felt a little surreal. These real bigwigs in the business world actually ate with her?
This was really too magical.
She added a few wechat messages into her phone. Ye Zhen was about to scream for a moment.
The Tian Domain Group. What was the Ning Family? What was the Dong Family? That was the Tian Domain Group.
âAre you guys very close?âYe Zhen didnât recover until she sat in the car. She looked at Li Junsheng and really couldnât think of anything.
âYes, we grew up together.â
Li Junsheng nodded, and ye Zhen sucked in a breath of cold air. She realized something that could not be said.
With Li Junshengâs status, how could he lack people to pretend to be his girlfriend? With his status and the circle he was in, there were probably many women who wanted to move closer to him.
But he actually chose her to pretend to be him? Previously, she was worried that he had some ulterior motive. But now, it seemed that it was clearly because of her grandfatherâs relationship that he looked at her in a different light.
Thinking about Li Qiâs attitude toward her grandfather, Li Junsheng really could only be purely repaying a rich manâs kindness.
âWhatâs Wrong?âSecretary Chen was still driving today. Li Junsheng looked at ye Zhenâs small face, which was downcast, as if she was not very happy.
He held her hand again and wrapped it in his palm.
âNo.â
How could ye Zhen say that she had a guilty conscience? She pulled her hand out without leaving a trace.
âI just think that your friends are all very powerful.â
Li Junsheng narrowed his eyes. There was an obvious dangerous glint in the depths of his pitch-black eyes. âYou mean, Iâm not powerful anymore?â
âNot really.âYe Zhen realized that she had misspoken. âYouâre very good too.â
After all, there were very few mayors who were so young.
The dangerous glint in Li Junshengâs eyes disappeared. He approached ye Zhen, and his thin lips caressed her lips. âHow Good? Tell me about it.â
