85 2.71 – Ask For Pizza – Mr. and Mrs. Jelly

Seeing Bing Shi’s bruised hand, Lu Ren answered with an expressionless face, “There are no feelings between Guan Fei and me.” What did Xuan Mu saw in Bing Shi, he had no idea. “I heard you broke Zhu Cai’s arms.”

‘Hurry.’

“News sure move fast,” Xuan Mu shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

“Aren’t you going to introduce your girlfriend?” Lu Ren glanced at Bing Shi, who stared at Xuan Mu possessively, which reminded him of Guan Fei, his annoying fiance.

‘I’m huuuuungry ??’

Xuan Mu peeped down at his sweetheart’s hungry eyes, saying, “No, my Bing Shi doesn’t want to be introduced.” Lifting his gaze, he smiled at Mia devilishly, “I can see you have a new man.” His eyes halted on her waist, which was held by Lu Ren, “Mia, my dear PA, I’m seeing you in a new light today.”

“He is going to break his engagement. Also, I can date whoever I want. You have no saying in it.” Finding her courage, Mia raised her voice in annoyance. She was finally moving on, and her Boss was mocking her again!

“Give Mia to me. What do you want for Mia’s employment contract?” asked Lu Ren solemnly.

“Oh?” Xuan Mu glanced down at his arm, holding in his laughter, “Mia, what should I ask in exchange for you?”

.....

‘Pizza ??’

‘Ask for pizza ??’

Bing Shi drew triangles on Xuan Mu’s muscular arm adorned with purplish bruises.

“Lu Ren!” Mia threw daggers at Lu Ren; he didn’t even ask for her opinion! “Stop it. I’m not something you can trade as you please!”

“It’s fine, let me take care of it,” Lu Ren spoke to Bing Shi, who seemed to be seducing Xuan Mu; thinking about it, he never heard a sound from her. Should he do Xuan Mu a favor and reveal her jealous side? “Miss Bing Shi, aren’t you worried that such a beautiful woman as Mia is working with Xuan Mu?”

“Xuan Mu deserves the best.” A soothing yet mysterious voice spoke out.

“...” Lu Ren and Mia became silent.

The owner of that voice rubbed Xuan Mu’s stomach, “Hungry?”

Xuan Mu’s smile grew wide, “No.”

“Oh.” In silence, Bing Shi looked down at her high heels, “Take your time.”

Xuan Mu bit his lips, “Let’s go. I got hungry suddenly.” Surveying the new couple, he spoke with an impish smile, “Mia, I have no needs for someone who doesn’t want to work with me. You can resign whenever you want. Lu Ren, Mia, have a nice night.” He, then led Bing Shi for dinner.

Bing Shi never forgot her manners, as they walked away, she turned around with a smile, waving at Lu Ren and Mia, “Bye-Bye.”

“...” While Lu Ren was silent, Mia waved back.

Mia clutched her slim stomach. Her beautiful eyes got misty all of a sudden, “Are you crazy? This is the first time after years that I found the courage to go against my Boss, and of all things... you had to bring Bing Shi into this?”

“Mia, what are you worried about? I’ll protect you.” What’s this strange feeling in Lu Ren’s stomach, like someone just punched him in the guts? Ignoring the feeling, he held onto Mia protectively, “She won’t be able to hurt you.”

“Shut up! She can hurt you without even trying,” Mia walked away from him, “Never go against her!”

Lu Ren followed after her, “What are you scared off? Isn’t she just a simple woman obsessed with her man?”

Mia, with her beguiling almond eyes, glared at the powerful man, who suddenly turned stupid, “What simple girl would be able to tame someone like Xuan Mu!? Except her, he fears nothing! He could destroy this world if he wanted, for him, everything is a playground! Zhu Cai’s broken arms... he did it so openly before all those powerhouses. It’s a clear warning for others not to touch his woman! Zhu family grew in power thanks to their son; they are on pair with Guan Lin’s. Someone broke their son’s arms, and they are silent about it, why?”

“Isn’t it obvious? They fear Xuan Mu,” Lu Ren answered.

“If they feared Xuan Mu, why would they injure Bing Shi? It has to be her doing. She told me she gets rid of enemies before they even become enemies,” Mia shuddered, “Now, I understand.”

“You are overthinking. Isn’t she stupid to tell you something like it?”

“She likes to joke a lot; I thought she was joking.”

“Isn’t Xuan Mu bullying you? Why don’t you resign and come to my company?”

His bullying was nothing compared to what she felt in other companies; Xuan Mu didn’t degrade her, thought Mia. “Because working with Xuan Mu is a million times better than working with you. Don’t bring my work into our relationship,” she said with a scoff.

“...” Lu Ren, full of jealousy, gripped her wrist tight and brought her to a private room, trashing the door furiously, he pushed her against the wall and kissed her, “Don’t call another man’s name before me,” he threatened.

“Let go of me! You are hurting me!” Mia warned him, but Lu Ren didn’t listen. He continued to mark her with hickeys. In self-defense, she kicked him in between the legs.

Lu Ren growled, in pain, he let go of her and held his crotch area. “MIA!!!” he shouted after her!

Mia, in a hurry, ran out of the room, on her way, she pumped into a hard chest.

The magnificent banquet was connected to the outdoor, wooden terrace with ivy leaves, providing guests a romantic seat with a great view of the ocean.

The guests had a great time today. While drinking wine and champagne; they chatted about the latest rumors; their eyes would occasionally switch towards a young couple. A few guests would come to greet them while the braver ones would exchange a few words, not for long, since this duo was in a hurry to fill their tummies.

Xuan Mu and Bing Shi stood before a smorgasbord filled with seafood like lobsters, crabs, oysters, and so on. All these delicacies were neatly placed on artistic ice sculptures. Filling the porcelain plates to the brim, they walked outside towards the terrace.

“Shocked?” Sitting down, Xuan Mu asked while placing an oyster from his plate on top of Bing Shi’s plate. He read that oysters were good aphrodisiacs.
