Chapter 48

To tell or not to tell .

Zhen Zhen got home at midnight . She walked into the bedroom, the light were turned off and someone pulled her onto the bed .

‘Zhen Zhen, did you dress up to out with another man?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Gu Zai, get off me,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘You’re hurting me . I didn’t go out with another man . ’

‘Then who was the man I saw you with before?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Gu Zai, are you talking about big brother Tu Hang…’ Zhen Zhen asked .

An hour later, Zhen Zhen was hitting Yue Gu Zai’s chest .

‘Zhen Zhen, I’m sorry,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I lost my mind when I saw you with another man . ’

‘You were rough with me,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Didn’t I satisfy you?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

Zhen Zhen covered Yue Gu Zai’s mouth .

‘Don’t say it,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Yue Gu Zai pulled Zhen Zhen’s hand down .

‘You can move again,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Zhen Zhen jumped out of bed, and she ran to the bathroom .

Yue Gu Zai was happy he made up with Zhen Zhen . He would rather be shark bait than sleep apart from Zhen Zhen . Besides, he was the leader of Ni Sheng, no one would dare to turn him into shark bait . Even though Zhen Zhen explained to him Tan Tu Hang was Nan Ma’s friend, he was jealous Zhen Zhen didn’t dress up for him .

Zhen Zhen got back into bed after she showered .

‘Zhen Zhen, forgive me,’ Yue Gu Zai begged . ‘I promise our son will go to school . ’

‘Um,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘And I get to spend the day at Nan Ma’s home tomorrow . ’

‘Deal,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

The next day, Zhen Zhen took a taxi to Nan Ma’s home . Shu Tang Jue opened the door for Zhen Zhen . Zhen Zhen couldn’t help but recoil at the sight of Shu Tang Jue, she hadn’t forgotten what happened in Italy .

‘Come sit in the living room and drink tea,’ Shu Tang Jue said . ‘Small rice grain is changing clothes . ’

Zhen Zhen shook her head, she was too scared to drink anything Shu Tang Jue made .

‘Small rice grain doesn’t know my identity,’ Shu Tang Jue said . ‘I hope you won’t tell her . ’

Zhen Zhen only heard Shu Tang Jue’s unspoken threat .

‘You’re a genius,’ Shu Tang Jue said . ‘You know that no one will gain anything if small rice grain knows the truth . ’

Nan Ma came out of the bedroom, and she walked into the living room so Zhen Zhen couldn’t reply to Shu Tang Jue’s request .

‘Zhen Zhen, why did you visit me today?’ Nan Ma asked .

‘I’ll go cook and let you two chat,’ Shu Tang Jue said .

‘I want to eat braised ribs,’ Nan Ma said .

‘You should cut back on meat,’ Shu Tang Jue said .

‘Shu Tang Jue, who’s your sugar mummy?’ Nan Ma asked . ‘You dare nag?’

Shu Tang Jue smiled at Nan Ma, and he walked into the kitchen .

‘Nan Ma, big brother Tu Hang said you’re living with a man,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Is he the man?’

‘Yes,’ Nan Ma said .

‘How did you two meet?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘I found him homeless on the streets and I brought him home,’ Nan Ma said . ‘I have a spare room and I can afford to support a toy boy . ’

‘Nan Ma, he’s…’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘The food is ready,’ Shu Tang Jue said .

Shu Tang Jue’s intimidating smile made Zhen Zhen shiver .

‘Zhen Zhen, the food will got cold if you sit here all day,’ Nan Ma said .

‘Nan Ma, I remembered I have something I need to do,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I’ll eat with you another day . ’

Zhen Zhen ran outside and she took a taxi home .

When Zhen Wu saw Zhen Zhen returned home, he thought she looked worried about something .

‘Mum…’ Zhen Wu called .

Zhen Zhen didn’t hear Zhen Wu, she ran straight upstairs to the bedroom .

Zhen Wu walked to Yue Gu Zai’s study room to talk to Yue Gu Zai about Zhen Zhen’s strange behavior . He didn’t care if Yue Gu Zai was in the middle of a meeting, because if something bad happened to Zhen Zhen then Yue Gu Zai would ground him .

‘Dad, your wife is acting strange,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘She came home, and hid in the bedroom like a scared turtle . Dad if the meeting isn’t important, go upstairs and check up on her . If you don’t go and something bad happened to her, you can’t ground me . Teacher is waiting outside for me . He wants to take me to play golf . Bye dad . ’

‘The meeting is over,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
