Chapter 20 You Feel Bad When Touching (2/2)

”I don't want to be your wife. It's not proper to give myself up to you,” Essie said with a pout.

”You seem to be forgetting that you have already given your virginity to me.” His voice was soft and teasing, like the humming of a cheetah as it plays with a lamb that he had already caught with his paws.

”It doesn't count.” Essie's face became bright red again.

”Then what counts?” With an aggressive look in his eyes, his long fingers caressed her pink cheeks gently, like the gentle flutter of a butterfly's wings.

Essie licked her dry lips and quickly changed the topic. ”Well, stop it. Come on, be serious! You now have a beautiful girl who is very fond of you. Move quickly and seize the opportunity as fast as you can,” she said.

”Who are you talking about?” Zac said, his eyes darkening.

”Mandy!” Essie exclaimed. Then, she smirked and continued, ”I know that you are a little tempted by her, and the only reason you left suddenly and treat her coldly is that you want to play hard to get, right?”

Zac was rendered speechless. 'She really is different from any other woman, ' Zac thought. 'And other than that, her brain is also so unique.'

He frowned before putting on a sly smile and saying, ”Are you jealous?”

”Of course not. I, as your temporary wife, am being very generous to you. I turn on green lights for you all the time. And not only can you pass the Peach Blossom Road unimpeded because of me, but I am also helping you at a critical moment,” she replied.

Her carelessness somewhat annoyed Zac. He pursed his lips and squinted his eyes. Then, his face became serious and his voice became quite cold. ”It's your business. I'm not interested in your friend. Stop bothering me!” He hated it when women teased him. If she dared to tease him, he would definitely punish her!

The fiendish look on his face told Essie that he was not joking. At that moment, she felt a mixture of delight and a bit of worry.

What pleased her was how this cold guy was still calm even when another woman was flirting with him. It meant that he was not some kind of playboy.

But what worried her the most was the fact that Zac was apparently not interested in Mandy. If Mandy really tried to pursue him, then she could end up being caught between the two of them.

And as it turned out, the more concerned she was, the faster it all happened.

The next day, Mandy called her early in the morning. She had a ticket for Bella's autumn fashion show, and she wanted to give it to Essie in exchange for helping her set up a dinner date with Zac.

To be honest, the last thing Essie wanted was to get involved in this whole ordeal, but she really wanted to go to the show, so she had to throw all her reservations aside this time.

But there was one problem. If Zac found out that Mandy was the one who wanted to go on a date with him, Essie was sure that he would refuse. She had to think of a way.
