Ning Shu decided to sell all the stock certificates because only money that was within your grasp truly counted as real.

  Meanwhile, the chairman-sama went to see Su Meng with his swollen pig face. Su Meng wasn’t able to recognize him at all and continuously screamed for help.

  Xiao Yan had no choice but to use his demonically charming gaze to look at Su Meng as he awkwardly forced out the unclear words, “It’s me, I’m Xiao Yan.”


  Su Meng froze for a moment, then asked in concern, “What happened to you?”


  Xiao Yan wanted to give a charming smile but ended up tugging at his injuries and grimaced in pain. It was only after a good while that he was able to speak. “Are you worrying about me?”


  “Humph…” Su Meng gave a delicate humph and turned her head away. “It’s not like we have any relationship, why would I worry about you? Humph! I don’t want to see you, so leave already.”


  Xiao Yan’s eyes were smiling. “I know that you’re worrying about me. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”


  “You already have a wife to worry about you, so how is it my place?” Su Meng pouted. The sight of her soft pink lips puckering up slightly made Xiao Yan gulp.

  “Don’t bring up that wretch in front of me, the injuries on my face were all because of her!” said Xiao Yan between gritted teeth. His tone was filled with sinister loathing.

  Su Meng covered her mouth in surprise and her almond eyes widened into round circles as she looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan became even happier when he saw her reaction.

  “Although I hate Su Ran a lot, I know that she still loves you deeply. How is it possible for her to hit you? She’s way too ruthless, to hit you this hard.” As Su Meng spoke, she reached out and gently touched Xiao Yan’s cheek.

  Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up. Earlier Su Meng had been angry to find out about Su Ran’s pregnancy so she had been ignoring him ever since that wretch started her puerperium period. However, now she was taking the initiative to show concern for him. He immediately grabbed Su Meng’s hand with a hiss of pain. “My face really hurts ah.”


  “Oh…” Su Meng’s eyes widened as she looked at Xiao Yan with her limpid eyes. “Did I hurt you? I’ll go get medicine for you.”


  Xiao Yan grabbed Su Meng who was about to go find medicine and pulled her into his arms. His eyes shot seductive sparks as he said gently, “You’re my medicine. Whenever I see you, the pain disappears.”


  As he spoke, he wrapped his arms more tightly around Su Meng. At the start, Su Meng struggled a little and glowered in a shocked manner, but in the end she closed her eyes.

  Xiao Yan liked Su Meng a lot. When he saw that Su Meng wasn’t rejecting him, his heart immediately burst with joy, but his body wouldn’t cooperate.

  Su Ran! Su Ran! That damned hateful woman! He only came to find Su Meng after the doctor told him that he was fine. That area was still a bit swollen from Su Ran’s kick, but the doctor had already given him detumescence. However, unexpectedly, it hurt a lot even when it wasn’t fully aroused.

  Su Meng shifted restlessly in his arms and opened her hazy eyes to gaze up at him.

  Xiao Yan endured the pain and pressed the kiss that was originally intended for her lips on her forehead. Then he said gently, “I’ll wait until you can truly accept me. I want to give you a real beginning.”


  Su Meng blinked a few times, then she seemed to realize that this was inappropriate and pushed Xiao Yan away. Fixing her collar, she glowered at Xiao Yan and shouted, “What did you do to me? You already have a wife! How can you do something like this to me? Humph…”


  “Shameless!” Su Meng rebuked angrily.

  Xiao Yan reached out and pulled Su Meng back towards him. Su Meng struggled and pounded his chest with her small fists. “Let go of me, you shameless man!”


  #comment: “I’ll wait until you can truly accept me”? Haha… if Ning Shu didn’t kick you down there, you’d already be tumbling with the female lead in this chap. I feel such deja vu. And… to stop yourself from feeling the urge to strangle this couple yourselves, try reading their ‘sickly-sweet’ parts like Ning Shu doesn’t exist. Create a false world of a happy heroine and hero… If that’s possible. It sure isn’t possible for me. *rolling on the carpet from frustration*
