198 Love Trap 6 (1/2)
Xu Jingwen was greatly enticed by what Chi Rui'er had to offer. Although she was exceptionally thrilled, she continued to put up a front and said, ”Wealthy men won't fall for me, though.”
”But you're very pretty. You'll look gorgeous if you doll yourself up.” Chi Rui'er then stood up and said, ”Wait for me here.”
”Alright.” Xu Jingwen continued to sit on the couch alone while Chi Rui'er walked towards the bedroom.
Several moments later, Chi Rui'er returned with two bottles of beauty products in her hands. ”I just bought these two bottles of serum and I've only used them once or twice. It's from a prestigious brand. You may have them.”
”Um… Sis Rui'er, that's too kind of you. I can't accept it.”
”It's a welcome gift from me to you. Take it, don't stand on ceremony with me. It's getting dark out there so let's call it a day, shall we? Head home first, you may come again tomorrow after work,” said Chi Rui'er, giving her a pat on her back.
”Alright.” Xu Jingwen accepted the beauty products and went home happily.
The smile on Chi Rui'er's face disappeared as soon as the door closed, after which she headed back to her room.
Gu Dongcheng exited the bathroom in a bathrobe after taking a shower and found her sitting on the bed. Noticing that she seemed to be engrossed in her thoughts, he asked, ”What are you thinking about?”
”Nothing much. Hubby, I haven't seen you all day. I miss you,” said Chi Rui'er as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Gu Beicheng lowered his head to kiss her lightly on her forehead and said, ”What about me do you miss?”
”Why are you asking when you already know the answer?”
She was burning with passion and her hormones were raging. Her pregnancy had never affected their sex life. In fact, she had become much more sensitive because of it.

On the day that training officially began, Jin Qingyan touched her intimately in front of everyone else.
An Xiaoning was infuriated because there was nothing she could do since his actions were not deemed inappropriate by the others.
An instance would be during the beginner taekwondo class conducted by Chen Xu.
Jin Qingyan stood beside An Xiaoning and was often overly eager to correct her technique by adjusting her positions whenever she made the slightest mistake.
He would intervene even during times when she felt she had executed a technique perfectly.
Everyone was aware of his intentions.
However, it did not bother him at all.
On top of that, An Xiaoning hated it too when he smacked her bottom while she was practicing the horse's stance, with the excuse of trying to make her straighten her back.
During their break, she took the chance to approach him. Staring at Jin Qingyan, who was sipping on his tea leisurely, she said, ”Mr. Jin, you're the owner of a large corporation, there are plenty of work for you to do. You shouldn't be wasting your time here. I think you're putting your talent to waste.”
”Wasting my time and talent? I don't think so. This is part of my duty too,” he said nonchalantly.
She held her breath and answered, ”Fine, take it as if I never said that.”
With a smirk, he headed downstairs while holding his teacup in his hands.
”Jin Qingyan! I need a word with you,” Lin Mingxi exclaimed as she hurriedly stood in front of Jin Qingyan to stop him in his tracks.
”About what?”
”Could you give me a few minutes of your time? I just have something to ask you,” said Lin Mingxi.
”There are some things you can ask about and some which you're not allowed to ask. Which of the two would you like to ask me about?”
Biting her lip, Lin Mingxi continued, ”I've seen the news. Did you buy over the boot camp academy because of An Xiaoning?”
”You're asking something you're not allowed to. I have no comment,” said Jin Qingyan as he proceeded to walk away without addressing her further.
Refusing to give up, Lin Mingxi hurriedly chased after him and continued, ”I signed up for the boot camp just for you.”
”Ms. Lin, I think you may have gotten the wrong idea. We've only met once, and I have no plans of staying in contact with you in the future. You should understand what I mean by that,” he said bluntly.
