Apart from Zhen Lang being happy when he tortured her, she couldn’t think of another reason why he wanted to marry her.
Zhen Lang shook his head. He kissed Gu Jing.
‘I won’t torture you. I’ll love and dote on you unconditionally. Do you believe me?’ Zhen Lang said.
Gu Jing scoffed. Unless she had a monster head and she was insane then she wouldn’t believe him.
Zhen Lang laughed. ‘Because… people say a man’s daughter is his old lover in a previous lifetime. If in this lifetime I genuinely love you, in the next lifetime I can be your daddy.’
Gu Jing widened her eyes and mouth. She thought Zhen Lang’s reason to marry her was insane!
Gu Jing felt powerless to dispute Zhen Lang’s reason to marry her. She pulled the bedsheet over her head and she heard Zhen Lang’s laughter echoed in the room.
Gu Jing knew she couldn’t marry Zhen Lang. Although he wouldn’t torture her to death, but he would frustrate her to death.
Gu Jing lifted the bedsheet off her head and she saw Zhen Lang smiled at her.
Zhen Lang’s smile suffocated Gu Jing’s heart. She realised she feared his smiles, because if she saw his smile her heart would pound chaotically.
Suddenly Gu Jing remembered the four questions Peng Cheng Gui asked her about Zhen Lang – ‘Firstly, when you think about him do you feel like your heart is full of sweetness and thinking about him makes you smile? Secondly, when you think about him do you think his smile is beautiful? Thirdly, when you think about him does your heart melt? Fourthly, when you think about him immediately you want him to appear in front of you and if you don’t see him for a while you miss him?’
Gu Jing blamed her confused heart and mind on her cold and fever. Because she was sick she wanted someone beside her. Her heart and mind wasn’t confused because of Zhen Lang.
‘Mr Vet, I…’ Gu Jing said softly.
Zhen Lang touched Gu Jing’s forehead and he frowned. ‘What is it? Where do you feel uncomfortable?’
Of course Gu Jing felt uncomfortable! She felt Zhen Lang’s frown looked too stunning and beautiful. She thought perhaps her cold and fever didn’t affect her heart and mind in that way.
Zhen Lang hugged Gu Jing. ‘Do you feel cold?’
Gu Jing didn’t feel cold, she felt hot. Her cheeks burned and even if she closed her eyes Zhen Lang’s smile, eyes, arms and legs appeared in her mind like a movie played in slow motion.
Zhen Lang worried Gu Jing had other symptoms, because she didn’t answer his question. ‘What is it? Where do you feel uncomfortable?’
‘Mmm…’ Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing felt wanted to wrap her arms around Zhen Lang’s body.
‘Hungry?’ Zhen Lang asked. He let go of Gu Jing. ‘What do you want to eat?’
Gu Jing nodded her head. She remembered her teeth marks on Zhen Lang’s chest. She swallowed her saliva, because his body looked appetizing. She realised her feverish state turned her into a cannibal.
‘Then lay in bed and rest. I’ll go buy you food,’ Zhen Lang said.
Zhen Lang got off the bed and he changed clothes.
Gu Jing didn’t blink and she watched Zhen Lang changed clothes. The longer she looked at his body the faster her heart pounded and the more breathless she felt.
After Zhen Lang left the room, Gu Jing took a deep breath and she quickly regained her senses.
Gu Jing jumped off the bed. She ran to her room, she put on a jacket, grabbed her suitcase and she ran away.
At the studio Peng Cheng Gui calculated the payments received for the day. Suddenly she saw a breathless Gu Jing who didn’t dress properly charged through the front door.
‘Cheng Cheng, I realise I love someone,’ Gu Jing said.
Peng Cheng Gui dropped a calculator onto a table. ‘You’re finally sane!’
‘But… the person I love is the jinx,’ Gu Jing said.
‘I know,’ Peng Cheng Gui said.
Gu Jing shook Peng Cheng Gui’s arm. ‘What do I do now? I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to face him.’
‘Why?’ Peng Cheng Gui asked.
‘I-’ Gu Jing said.
A stylist walked downstairs and she interrupted Gu Jing and Peng Cheng Gui’s conversation.
The stylist put a newspaper on the table in front of Gu Jing and Peng Cheng Gui. ‘Boss, something bad happened. Isn’t this the photo we hung up in front of the studio a while ago?’
Gu Jing looked at the photo printed on the newspaper advertisement. The advertised photo for lingerie was a photo shopped photo of a familiar young beautiful woman’s hand covered half of her naked chest, her eyes were blurred, her snow white bare back and her short hair above her shoulders showed off her sensual slender neck. Also a photo shopped arm and hand covered her underwear.
Gu Jing read the caption under the lingerie advertisement photo – ‘Absolute guarantee any woman who wears this lingerie will turn on her man.’
‘What is this?’ Peng Cheng Gui asked.
Gu Jing clutched the newspaper. She couldn’t believe she left the studio for a day, one newspaper wrote a shady article about her and another newspaper dared to use her image to endorse a lingerie product without her permission. She wanted to explode!
