CH 9

Lu Wanwan was watching television for a short while, half leaning onto the sofa, while the man in the kitchen was washing the bowls. When he was finished, he wiped his hands clean and came out of the kitchen. He sat directly beside her as his pair of beautiful hands gently laid on her legs.

The fingers were white and the bones well defined.

Lu Wanwan looked up slightly and her eyes fell on his jaw. The man raised his hand and placed her little head into the nook of his neck. His voice was hoarse and deep as he said : "Rest for a while."

The man's neck was snow-white and his body held an unique fragrance.

Lu Wanwan's body stiffened. Trying to get up, she only made a small movement but she was immediately put back in place again. The man looked thin and frail but was actually quite strong.

She yielded and leaned in his arms. She yawned, " I want to watch 'The Cold Prince is not to be messed with', Jiazi Channel."

"Okay." Shen Yi tuned to the Jiazi Channel as instructed.

Lu Wanwan just wanted to disgust Shen Yi. This person was old-fashioned. He never watched TV, didn't follow dramas, didn't watch variety shows, didn't run after stars and even sports channels and financial channels that all men like, he didn't show any interest in these at all.

Lu Wanwan looked very engrossed in what she was watching. She herself did not realize but she was relaxing while softly lying in his arms, like a lazy and harmless kitten.

The man's attention shifted from the TV to her very early on. As the soft light shone on her clean white face, the woman in his arms had a serene face. The knot in his throat rolled. He couldn't resist it. He lifted her chin with his finger and gently bit on her soft lips.

She made an "hiss" sound. Lu Wanwan's lips which was bitten by him hurt a bit. She suddenly snapped back to her senses and averted her face, a look of unease on her face, "I'm going to take a shower, I'm bloody tired."

Shen Yi loosened his shackles on her and turned off the TV at the same time, "You go ahead."

When she was done taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, the man took out the delicately wrapped small gift box from the drawer and presented it before her eyes, "Open it and see if you like it."

Where did Shen Yi get the money to buy it? A ruby as big as a pigeon's egg, this was not a fake one that Shen Yi bought to make her happy, was it?

Lu Wanwan took the necklace and pretended to be very happy, "Ya! It's so pretty. I just love big and sparkly gems." She blinked at Shen Yi and then asked, "How much did this necklace cost you ah?"

Shen Yi's salary card was still in her hand. Lu Wanwan was still under the impression that Shen Yi had bought a fake gemstone necklace to coax her.

After some consideration, Shen Yi replied indifferently, "It didn't cost much."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his reply. The necklace was something he had spent 60 million on at an auction last year. At that time, he had thought the necklace would suit her very well, but she didn't seem to be very fond of these at that time.

He just recalled the existence of this necklace today after Li Xing's reminder.

The corners of the man's lips pursed into a straight line, as though he didn't really want to answer her question.

Shen Yi actually did not know how to say it. Early back when he was in college, he was already running a company, but at that time Lu Wanwan was not very interested in him and never asked him about his business.

A few months ago, his grandfather came to his door, in tears, saying he was sorry for letting him suffer so much over the years.

Shen Yi did not even say anything and yet his grandfather at that time returned back to him the Shen family's shares that originally belonged to him.

And even if he didn't return to the Shen family, Shen Yi could still afford tens of millions yuan.

When Lu Wanwan heard his words, she breathed out a sigh of relief. It was indeed a fake !

All right, all right, a fake was fine. If the necklace was real, she would have been scared out of her mind instead.

In another six months, the male lead Shen Yi should be returning to the capital richest and most influential family, the Shen family.

Being the eldest grandson as well as an outstanding talent, the Shen family would be in his hands in not even two years time.

That's why Lu Wanwan, within the next six months, had to complete the whole series of actions that would lead to her death, that is jump on another boat, join hands with the pretty guy and frame the pitiful and destitute male lead.

She wanted to be purely and simply a devious bitch and make Shen Yi abandon her as he would old shoes.

TL's note : I haven't got a lot of votes regarding me creating a social media platform on the home page, so for now I'm gonna leave it and maybe create one when more people start reading my translations, I'm guessing that a lot of people are waiting for more chapters before starting to read.
