Chapter 19 Can You Be Like Liu Xiahui

"Then what about me doing something more, so that you can accuse me of a few more crimes?" When Daniel rested his big palms on her waist, Janet shivered a little and then immediately shook her head in denial.

Daniel stopped and stared with cold eyes at the girl who finally now had the consciousness of fear, and said: "Come up to work in the office up at the 88th floor tomorrow. Don't let me repeat that again!"

Janet felt puzzled: "Why do you want to force me to work in that office? I was doing so well in Secretary Department."

"Why are you talking such nonsense?" Daniel lowered his head, and without patience he kissed her sweet red lips again.

Janet was an absolutely alluring woman; this, or she had some sort of drug on her lips that made him want to kiss her again and again.

"Jane, I've brought you some takeout food as dinner. Come, quickly..."

The door was pushed open from outside and Janet felt that in that moment her brain had been suddenly blown up.

Daniel was shocked, too. They didn't expect that Jerry would come back right now, and he also forgot to stand up straight the moment he saw him come through the door.

The takeout food nearly dropped out of Jerry's hand, and Jerry looked at the man and woman on the bed with doubt, and said: "I'm so sorry, I forgot to knock at the door."

The door was closed again and Jerry patted his head. He always knocked at the door before he entered his sister's room, but why did he forget to do it this time?

And that man, if he indeed saw what he saw, was Daniel.

How fast their relationship was progressing! Jerry was lost in his thoughts when the door of Janet's room was opened.

Daniel's face had now returned to normal, and he said: "Jerry, I should go now."

'What? He would just leave without leaving any explanation about what had just happened?' He stopped Daniel in his tracks, who was about to go downstairs: "Daniel, I just got hold of the information from my mother that you and Jane are going to be engaged!" That was why Jerry was not angry to see him behaving like that.

But Daniel hesitated for a while and threw out some words: "It's still uncertain."

... Jerry's face suddenly darkened and then walked up towards Daniel closer: "What does that mean? I saw you lying on the bed with my sister, but now you're telling me that the engagement is uncertain? What the hell are you doing?"

"I have done nothing, it was Jane who tempted me to come in in the first place!" 'If it were not for her scream, I wouldn't have come in.' Daniel thought.

......

Janet hid herself and listened on their conversations, but when she heard what Daniel had just said she suddenly rushed out and confronted him: "Daniel, what's that nonsense you're talking about?"

"What nonsense? Didn't you scream?"

Janet was led into the logic of his questions and nodded.

"I passed by and heard her screaming, and then I came up here."

It seemed clearly that Daniel had come here because he worried about Janet's safety. "OK, you indeed came up here, but why did you have to kiss her?" Jerry wouldn't forget the most important point.

"She held my chin and flirted with me. Jerry, you are a rational, sane man. Can you be like Liu Xiahui?" (*TN: Liu Xiahui was an ancient man in Chinese history who was known as a very upright gentleman who always kept his morality, even if a woman sat on his legs for the whole night).

...

Jerry's and Janet's logic were now guided by Daniel's analysis, and headed towards the wrong direction. Jerry was still pondering Daniel's words seriously, and he could do nothing but surrender the argument; it was exactly the same as the time he faced Daniel's sister Sally.

With a thin smile on his face, Daniel was pleased and looked at Janet, who was now dumbfounded. He then went downstairs.

'You bastard!' Janet was infuriated.

After all, he was the one who entered her room and had pressed her on the bed under him in the first place. How was it that now it seemed that she was the one who initiated the whole thing?

Janet had to accept all the blames from Jerry that a girl shouldn't be so naughty

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

and wild and must treasure herself and always keep in a low profile...

Janet was so angry with all of this that she badly wanted to spit out some foul language to ease her nerves.

After the lectures she received from Jerry, Janet asked "Brother, where is Daniel living?"

"In Mansion No. 9, behind us." Jerry looked at his sister, who was gnawing on the chopsticks with her teeth, and asked: "What? Do you still want to go and see him?"

Lost deep in thought, Janet nodded, but then shook her head when she remembered of Jerry's reproaches from just now.

Daniel was her target now, and he would be punished to death!

Early in the next morning, and under the begrudging eyes of the others, Janet took the elevator up to the 88th floor.

Spark had prepared a working desk in the secretary area for her, and when Janet sat down to work, both of them exchanged the forced smiles that naturally showed up on their face.

Janet was well-behaved today, which puzzled Spark completely. And so was Daniel, and not knowing what Janet was up to, he smoked one cigarette after one, relaxed and without a care in the world.

After work, Janet went out after Daniel and started following him. Where Daniel was, Janet was.

In the parking lot.

"You are off duty now, why are you following me?" asked Daniel. Daniel stood beside his car, and massaged his aching temples. He had to engage in some social activities soon and definitely had no time to deal with her at the moment.

Janet spread out her hands, and said: "I didn't drive my car today, so I came to ask for a ride back home."

Ask for a ride? "Are you sure?" Daniel nodded, opened the car's back door and got in it.

He didn't refuse her. Janet was surprised. To avoid sitting next to him, Janet sat on the front passenger's seat.

Not a word was uttered; there was complete silence in the car.

Ten minutes later, Janet noticed that they were not going in the correct directions of the mansion. "Mr. Shi, where are we going?" She asked in a low voice.

Sparked smiled, and said, "We are going to pick up Miss Song and afterwards we'll be going to meet some clients in a bar."

"Miss Song?" she asked.

"Yep." Spark nodded, but he didn't intend to tell her who Miss Song was.

Why didn't Daniel tell her that he was not going back to the mansion? He was a despicable kind of man. "Stop here, I have to get off."

Spark was ready to stop the car, but Daniel broke the silence and said: "You want to get in and out of my car at your free will? No way!"

So Spark had to keep on driving.

Janet bit her underlip a little. She thought to herself, "Daniel, you scheming bastard! Why didn't you tell me that you had an appointment to attend to? Fine, I'll return home by taxi, humph!"

The Bentley stopped at the gates of a company, and Janet clearly saw the company's name "Changsheng Co., Ltd."

A lady in a creamy-white dress stood by the roadside and walked towards the Bentley the moment she laid her eyes on it. She opened one of the backseat doors and got in.

'Oh, she is Miss Song.'

Unlike her impressions on Kate last time, today Kate tied up high of her long hair, and she was in a creamy-white dress, white high-heel shoes, and with a black handbag.

She had on some light makeup and her lips were painted rosy, and this time left the impression that she was actually quite capable and experienced.

Kate, of course, when she entered the car, saw Janet sitting in the front seat too. She asked, "Daniel, aren't we going to meet Mr. Fu?"

"Yep."

"Then why is she..."

"Hey there, pretty girl! I'm Daniel's girlfriend." Janet had turned around and had said just that in her face. And then with a big grin on her face she looked at Kate who was trying in some way to control her facial expressions.

'She is Daniel's girlfriend?' Kate felt heart-broken immediately when she heard this, "Is this true?"

"No" denied Daniel, clearly refusing to save any face for Janet. And to top it all, after Kate had just calmed down, Daniel said, "Kate, be my girlfriend."

...

This sentence all of a sudden silenced everybody in the car.
