Chapter 18: The Shentu Family
Shentu Jing drove them to the Shentu mansion, a beautiful grand mansion that was surrounded by lush green gardens and a waterfall in the middle. This guy was definitely rich.
He had ordered the servants beforehand not to come out and greet him because he didn't want to make Zhuzhu scared or nervous. He wanted the atmosphere to be comfortable for her.
"Nice mansion," she remarked with a bored expression. She wasn't impressed at all, Shentu Jing knew that used to be a rich heiress after all. So anything to do with luxury meant nothing to her.
"From now on, you're my girlfriend. Try to act the part. You look stiff," Shentu Jing said. He led her to the living room.
"Stiff? Aren't you the one who's clearly stiff?" Qin Zhuzhu ran a finger across his chest and he quickly backed away, glaring at her with panicky eyes.
He looked so naive and innocent that she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, so Mr Jing is afraid of women. I should have known that you were pretending to be a playboy all the time!"
"Laugh all you want. Do you dare say that you are wary of men after what happened with your ex husband?" Shentu Jing suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the waist. He pulled her closer until their bodies were pressed against each other.
Qin Zhuzhu stared up into his eyes, her heartbeat increasing. She had to refrain from touching his beautiful face. He was right. She was wary against opening her heart to another man after what happened.
Shentu Jing felt his heartbeat increase. Somehow whenever he touched her, it felt like electricity had travelled through his hands and entire body. With the way she was looking up at him seductively with those foxy eyes, he wanted to pull her closer and claim her lips. This was the first time in his life he felt such a strong urge.
So he let his instincts take over. He reached out and caressed her cheeks. So soft.
