Chapter 34 - Playing A Dangerous Game

Jennet inhaled a deep breath, trying to calm her heart.

'Be, patients, be patients. Just ignore her. She's just like the rest, trying to win Hue's favour. Patients.' She chanted in her heart.

She smiled at the beautiful woman. "Well, if you really want us to accept your kindness then, just give us a discount. For sure, we won't take it for free." She said calmly. Her smile didn't falter and she stood confident instead, facing the woman.

The woman smiled at them. "Well, if you insist then, I am giving you a discount at 50 per cent and no more rejection." She replied, giving a full stop to their little argument.

Jennet nodded her head in agreement, "Fine by me then. Please take the payment from this card." She handed her card once again to the cashier.

The card was taken, being swiped on the machine and payment was made, then it was handed to Jennet again along with her purchases.

Jennet glanced at Hue and smiled sweetly, "Let's go, hubby!" She snuck her hand around the fold of his arm.

Hue gasped silently. Hearing her soft voice calling him 'hubby' was really out of his expectations. His heart had already melted that very moment. His eyes stared at her with adoration.

"Sure, wifey. Let's go home. Hubby can't hold this feeling anymore." He said with a wide smile plastering his handsome face. He wanted to pounce on her that instant!

Jennet glanced at him with an uneasy feeling. She was a bit stunned at what he just said. What the heck are you talking about? Don't go thinking about something pervert now!

But she masked her face with a smiley face as she looked up at Hue's face. "Hubby, you're so naughty. Haven't you had enough of me?" She asked with a soft and melodious voice.

But, underneath the shopping bags, hidden from everyone's eyes, she was pinching his side, very hard than the last time!

Her inner self yelled angrily. 'Haven't, you have enough of me nagging and yelling at you?! Do you want to be hospitalized?!'

If only they were back at the villa, she would have turned the man into a pulp!

Hue contorted with pain but he smiled sweetly at her. "Wife, I can't hold it anymore. This feeling is unbearable!" He cried helplessly. He actually can't stand her stinging pinch!

But, everyone in the store got the wrong idea as they gasped. 'What an intense couple', that was what floated in their minds. They watched the two of them displaying their 'affection' in public.

The beautiful woman, who had been ignored, coughed softly, attracting their attention.

"Ehem, it's actually very nice to meet you two couple. I am Katerina Weiss." She introduced herself with a smile.

Jennet smiled back at her and said, "I am Jennet and this is my husband, Hue. It is nice to meet you, Miss Weiss."

"Call me Katerina." Said Katerina with a smiled.

Jennet smiled. "Katerina." She pronounced her name.

She glanced at Hue before turning her head back at Katerina and added, "Well, we need to go now. It is so much fun shopping here. We will come again in the future." She smiled.

Katerina just nodded her head. "Well, be my guest. We would be very glad to welcome both of you here." Said Katerina.

She eyed Hue and smiled at him. 'We would be very happy to welcome you again especially him. Hue is it? What a nice name.' Her heart ticked with envy.

Hue lowered his eyes from looking at her and he seemed to be focusing his attention towards Jennet who kept smiling at him. There was a warm smile in his eyes every time he looked at the woman beside him.

"Wife, let's go. We still need to buy other things as well." He said to her softly. He took the shopping bags from her hands.

He glanced at Katerina, "Have a great day to you, Miss Weiss." Hue wished her and gave her a slight smile. Then, he turned his gaze towards Jennet and smiled warmly at her.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Let's go, wife."

Jennet waved her hand towards Katerina before walking out from the store with him. She kept tightening her grip on his arm. As soon as they entered the parking area, Jennet pulled her hand away forcefully.

She pointed out at his face, "Keep your distance away from a woman such as that lady just now." She reminded him with a sharp glare.

Hue looked at the finger pointed out at him. He raised his hand and took it before shifting his gaze towards her face. The face before him was looking so mad.

'Wow, what an angry face!' His heart exclaimed with excitement. He loved it so much every time she gave her attention to him. It made him wanted her attention more than ever.

He chuckled right in front of her which leads to another hard pinch coming from her. He cried in pain and tears brimmed in his eyes.

"Wife, it is painful. You've bruised my body." He yelped and started to pout while massaging his side softly.

Lucky for Jennet, there are a few people at the parking area right now. If they are alone, he would have jumped on her, played with her before he can devour her full. But, he can only imagine it because she would always make him cry instead.

He looked away and sighed hard, "Wife is so mean even in public." He murmured.

Jennet glared at him with a murderous glint flashing in her eyes. She looked at the handsome face that was looking away from meeting with hers.

"What did you say just now? I am mean?" Her tone became even colder. She cracked her knuckles at what he said.

Hearing her knuckles cracking, Hue cried silently. He glanced back at her and shook his head in denial.

"No no. I didn't say anything." He coughed and rearranged the shopping bags in his hands.

When Jennet was about to nag at him, someone called her from behind.

"Miss Lockhart?"

Jennet turned her body around and a smile immediately replaced the angry face of hers. An old woman walked towards them with her walking stick.

"Mrs Parker?" She frowned at what she saw. Amazingly, she remembered the name. When did she last saw her? Oh right, about a few days ago.

"Did I interrupt anything?" Damela Parker asked with a smile.

Jennet smiled and shook her head. "No, you didn't interrupt anything." She replied.

Damela Parker turned her gaze towards the man standing behind her.

She smiled at Jennet and asked, "My my, who could this handsome man be? Is he your husband?"

She knew exactly who that man is but she just wanted to know of Jennet's answer to her question.

Jennet glanced back at Hue who was smiling widely at her. In his eyes says, 'Tell her! Tell her about our relationship!'

"Umm, he's my... He's my distant relative!" She said while clearing her throat.

She doesn't know why but she felt so nervous to tell the old woman about Hue. Even now, she was flustered. In front of older people, she just couldn't lie to them.

She still remembered about telling her that she's not married yet. If she were to say that he's her husband, the woman might get the wrong impression on her for having a flash marriage.

"Oh, I see." Damela smiled. "I thought he's your husband. I thought you two are married since you looked so intimate. I am sorry if I got the wrong idea." Damela added and apologized at the same time.

"No, no. Don't apologize. He's always like that." Said Jennet. She was the one who was looking so troubled now.

She glanced towards Hue. But, he was already pulling a very long and sour face over her denial of their relationship.

Hue took the car keys from her hand and immediately entered her car after tossing all the shopping bags at the back seat. He sat in the car without looking back at Jennet. He was clearly pissed.

His actions made Jennet felt guilty. She knew she had toyed with his feeling. She played such a dangerous game with a man like him.

Well, in the store earlier, she had claimed him as her husband in the public but now when someone really asked about him, she denied their status instead and hurt his feeling over and over again.

She looked back at Damela and said, "Well, what I said just now is not what I really meant." She tried to explain.

Pon! Pon!

Hue hit the horn. Jennet turned her head and glared at him. What is he trying to do now? Can't he see I am still having a conversation with Mrs Parker?!

"Seems like the two of you are in a rush. I am sorry if I had delayed your schedule today." Damela changed the topic after hearing the horn from the car.

Jennet smiled apologetically at her. "I am so sorry that I cannot stay any longer to chat with you but I had to go now. I..."

Pon! Pon!

Hue kept on hitting the horn.

Damela just gestured at Jennet to immediately go to her car. "Don't worry about me, dearie. We will meet again soon." She smiled.

Jennet nodded her head and waved her hand. Then, she turned around and entered her car.

Hue was saying something and she rolled her eyes at him. In an instant, she saw Jennet knock his head before she started the engine and drove away.

Damela chuckled alone, watching them bickering among themselves. "She's really strong indeed."
