Chapter 125: Are You Crazy? (1/2)

Cheng Xi didn’t doubt for a single moment that Lu Chenzhou would make someone send all these dresses to her house even if she refused. His next words clarified his stance even further. “Don’t worry about her being unable to pay. She’s a doctor at Renyi, so she’s rich.”

Cheng Xi: ⊙▽⊙

A wise man submits to his circumstances, so why did I have to offer to pay! Even as Cheng Xi regretted her previous decision, she decisively moved the bill in front of Lu Chenzhou. “I’m poor, so please pay for me!”

Upon seeing their behavior, the female boss and the store employees couldn’t help themselves from smiling; they even turned away to hide their laughter. Lu Chenzhou’s expression, however, didn’t shift at all. Instead, he seriously asked her, “But what if that decreases your enjoyment of shopping?”

……Cheng Xi believed that she was rather knowledgeable about psychology, but right now, she really didn’t know whether he truly believed her blatantly false excuse that she ‘enjoyed using her own money to shop,’ or if he was just mocking her.

Of course! If I take what he said earlier into consideration, then this fellow is clearly mocking me!

Cheng Xi steeled her expression, pretended to not understand his words, and used the same earnest tone to say, “No. I’m actually happier when I use someone else’s money.” o(╯□╰)o

Only then did Lu Chenzhou take the bill and sign it.

Everyone else in the shop was about to roll over from laughing. Cheng Xi’s face was a scarlet blood red, and the boss even joked, “Miss, Director Lu’s really in love with you, huh.” This female boss was actually quite familiar with Lu Chenzhou, and they even exchanged jokes between each other quite often. She continued her teasing, saying, “Director Lu’s always been on his own, and I’ve never seen him bring any other girls around. I used to even think that he would focus on his career his entire life and never think about marriage. But who would have thought that he’d find such a beautiful and interesting fiance as you?”

And then her gaze flickered over to the hickey that Lu Chenzhou had left on her neck.

What could Cheng Xi say? She could only wordlessly smile and bear the burden of being ‘Lu Chenzhou’s fiance.’

After they left the store, Cheng Xi said, “It’s a bit late, and I have to go home soon.”

Lu Chenzhou actually didn’t refuse and calmly sent her home, leaving Cheng Xi in a state of discomfort—it wasn’t that she couldn’t bear to see him go, but rather that her instincts were screaming that he was planning something big even though she couldn’t see anything of the sort. Was he really just going to gift her two dresses and be done with it?

Lu Chenzhou really didn’t seem like someone who would just give up on his plan that easily!

And when her thoughts reached this point, she subconsciously felt somewhat stifled. As Cheng Xi moved to leave the car, she even said, somewhat uncertainly, “Then… I’m going?”

Lu Chenzhou dispassionately asked, “What else?…… Are you inviting me up?”

……Cheng Xi finally managed to squeeze out a quick “No, goodbye!”

Lu Chenzhou smiled shallowly, making Cheng Xi blush as she turned to open the car door.

But then, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Cheng Xi, startled, asked, “What’re you doing?”

She had barely finished saying ‘doing’ when he forcefully pushed the word back into her mouth. Lu Chenzhou took advantage of that opportunity to stick the tip of his tongue into her mouth, and start sucking on the tip of her own tongue. As they were still inside the tight confines of the car, the sucking and kissing noises were very distinct.

Cheng Xi was very embarrassed, but she also couldn’t deny the happiness that she felt. But this sort of happiness still had its own bottom line, and when she felt his hand creeping up the bottom of her dress, it was also about to cross that line. Cheng Xi immediately stopped him from going any further, opening her eyes.

She struggled against his hold, and he didn’t keep continuing forcefully this time. Lu Chenzhou calmly removed himself from her mouth but kept his cool palm on her thigh, rubbing it gently and meticulously.

Cheng Xi grabbed his hand and tightly held it still.

Lu Chenzhou looked at her, at her clear, pellucid eyes, as he slowly sobered up. As his mind regained its clarity, he could see the line separating him and her briefly disappear and then reappear.

His grip on the back of her head tightened, and an indistinct impatience surfaced from the bottom of his heart, born out of greed and ruthlessness. He felt a primordial desire to ravage her ferociously, bestially.
