Chapter 45

Ace .

Yue Gu Zai showered and dressed after his nap . He walked back to the study room, and he looked coldly at Tan Hai who was snooping through his work documents .

‘What are you doing here?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

Tan Hai was startled by Yue Gu Zai’s cold voice . She turned around, and looked at him . His wet hair added to his allure .

‘I… I saw the lights were on in the study room,’ Tan Hai said . ‘I brought you a glass of milk . ’

Yue Gu Zai glanced at Tan Hai’s see through white mini nightgown, and he understood her true intention . If he didn’t consider Zhen Zhen’s feelings, he would have kicked the deluded Tan Hai outside sooner .

‘Go outside now,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Tan Hai didn’t understand why Yue Gu Zai wasn’t affected by her half nakedness . Most men flew around her like flies .

Tan Hai pretended to trip, but Yue Gu Zai stepped aside and let her fall on the floor .

‘If the fall didn’t kill you then get out,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Tan Hai stood, cried and she turned around to walk to the door . She couldn’t believe Yue Gu Zai didn’t want to sleep with her .

‘Wait,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Come back and take the glass of milk with you . ’

Tan Hai didn’t want to give up on the man of her dreams . She took off her nightgown and stood naked in front of Yue Gu Zai . Most men dreamt about her being naked, but Yue Gu Zai was indifferent to her naked body .

‘How can I lose to Zhen Zhen?’ Tan Hai asked . ‘I’m a virgin . Do you know where big brother Yan Fen found Zhen Zhen? He found her at Dui Lan . Do you know how many men slept with her…’

Tan Hai stopped talking because Yue Gu Zai was choking her .

‘You can’t compare to my wife,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Looking at you makes me sick . ’

Yue Gu Zai let go of Tan Hai’s neck a second before she choked to death .

‘Get out!’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Tan Hai picked up her nightgown, and she ran outside crying .

In Tan Hai’s state of rejection, she didn’t notice she ran past Zhen Zhen . But Yue Gu Zai saw Zhen Zhen .

‘Zhen Zhen, why aren’t you sleeping?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘I couldn’t sleep without you,’ Zhen Zhen said calmly like she didn’t see a naked woman running out of the study room .

Zhen Zhen put the glass of milk she was holding on the desk .

‘Gu Zai, I brought you a glass of milk too,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I hope you won’t chase me away too . ’

Yue Gu Zai was happy to hear the jealous tone in Zhen Zhen’s voice . He picked up the glass of milk Zhen Zhen brought him, and he drank it in one gulp .

‘Go back to bed,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I’ll come to bed as soon as I finish work for the night . ’

Zhen Zhen returned to bed, but she didn’t fall asleep until Yue Gu Zai was lying next to her .

On Monday, Tan Cuo passed the initiation tests, and he became a member of Ni Sheng . Yan Fen was happy for Tan Cuo . But Tan Hai acted strange, she wore a necklace that covered her whole neck .

Tan Hai couldn’t believe Yue Gu Zai rejected her . She wanted to take out her disappointment on Zhen Zhen while Yue Gu Zai wasn’t home .

‘Let’s play a poker game,’ Tan Hai said . ‘The winner gets to hit the person who loses all their money first . ’

‘How can a man hit a woman?’ Tan Cuo asked .

‘If a man wins, he can hit the women softly,’ Tan Hai said .

‘Miss Tan is right,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Let’s play poker . ’

Tan Hai wanted to hit Zhen Zhen’s head hard enough for Zhen Zhen to be too scared to say anything to Yue Gu Zai .

Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long for Zhen Zhen to make Tan Hai lose all her money first .

‘I lost,’ Tan Hai said . ‘Go ahead and hit me . ’

Zhen Zhen smiled at Tan Hai, and she slapped Tan Hai’s cheek hard .

‘You dare hit me?’ Tan Hai asked .

Yan Fen and Tan Cuo were shocked too . They couldn’t believe how hard Zhen Zhen slapped Tan Hai’s cheek .

‘In your heart you know what you did wrong,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Just because I let most things slide, it doesn’t mean I’ll let you walk all over me . ’

Zhen Zhen stood and she left the living room .

‘Yan Fen, even if Miss Zhen Zhen is boss’ wife, she shouldn’t have hit Tan Hai so hard for no reason,’ Tan Cuo said .

‘This is boss’ home,’ Yan Fen said . ‘It’s not the Tan Household . You two should be respectful while you’re in boss’ home . Zhen Zhen isn’t someone who would hit another person for no reason . Tan Hai, you should know your place and not cross the line again . ’

Tan Cuo understood Tan Hai wouldn’t tolerate being hit unless she was in the wrong .

‘Little sister, listen to Yan Fen,’ Tan Cuo said . ‘This isn’t our home . You shouldn’t offend boss and his wife . ’

‘I know,’ Tan Hai said .
