Shangguan Rouxue was about to enter the supermarket holding onto Xie Zhuojun’s arm, when she saw Shangguan Ning coming out of the supermarket and led gently into the car by a tall man.
The man’s back was facing her, so she couldn’t see his face. But judging from the body shape and the charisma, it could be seen clearly that he was an extraordinary person, someone who was several levels higher than Xie Zhuojun next to her.
Also, she noticed immediately that the man was driving the top-notch luxurious sports car Aston Martin, one that Xie Zhuojun had been longing to have.
Unfortunately, however, Xie Zhuojun was always reluctant to buy the car. He only had bought a model of the car.
She looked at the man beside her, and let out an astonished sigh after Shangguan Ning and the man drove some distance away. “Zhuojun, I seem to have seen my sister.”
Xie Zhuojun was startled. His eyes started to look around immediately. “Where?”
Shangguan Rouxue shook her head sadly. “Maybe I am wrong. I miss her so much. I want to know if she is doing well.”
Seeing his beloved girl’s sad face, Xie Zhuojun’s heart ached. “You are being too kind. That is why she bullies you at her will. She has her own life to live and you have your own. Don’t worry about her any more, or you will get the worst of it in the end.”
As he spoke, he was suddenly reminded that he hadn’t asked her about Shangguan Ning’s dismissal. He hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.
Shangguan Rouxue was apparently a bit surprised. Then she said with a soft voice in a guilty tone, “Oh, Zhuojun, you know about it?”
“I… eh… didn’t plan to tell you. Daddy has talked with the principal about her dismissal. The matter has been suppressed. This news won’t spread. Don’t worry.”
Xie Zhuojun was getting confused. He got a bit irritated but he kept his temper down and asked, “What happened?”
“She… she…” Shangguan Rouxue seemed reluctant. She whispered after a short while, “She, a male teacher and a male student were… you know, in the office and were caught on the spot by the school. The student’s parents had made a huge fuss in the school. But Daddy suppressed the whole thing with a lot of money…”
Xie Zhuojun felt an explosion in his brain.
What?! He didn’t catch it wrong, did he?
Had Shangguan Ning seduced a male teacher and a student?!
That was impossible!
But if it had not been true, why would school fire Shangguan Ning without considering Deputy- Mayor’s reputation.
His face turned very bad. No wonder Shangguan Rouxue didn’t plan to tell him. She must have thought that it was too shameful a matter to be recounted to him.
So stupid of him to have almost believed Shangguan Ning!
What a shameful thing that he had once been engaged with such a woman before!
Seeing rage hovering over Xie Zhuojun’s face, Shangguan Rouxue explained quickly, “Don’t be angry, Zhuojun. Don’t you understand what kind of person my sister is? She must have been wronged. The school must have got it wrong! We can ask her ourselves and listen to her story when we have a chance in the future.”
“There is nothing to ask. Her shameful deed must have been discovered by the school. Uncle Shangguan would have kept her well if it had been a misunderstanding. Uncle Shangguan loves her so much after all.” The rage behind Xie Zhuojun’s words couldn’t be concealed.
He was talking loudly to Shangguan Rouxue, and his handsome face was a bit distorted, his usual gentleness and elegance completely gone.
Shangguan Rouxue got startled. For the first time, she found Xie Zhuojun scary.
Fortunately, however, he wasn’t referring to her. He had always been the gentlest to her.
Having heard this matter, Xie Zhuojun had completely lost the mood to visit the supermarket. He massaged between his eyebrows, hardly able to conceal the irritation. But he still said in a gentle tone. “Let’s go home, Xue. I don’t want to buy anything today. I will go out with you some other day.”
Shangguan Rouxue’s face froze but soon returned to a natural status. She took his arms gently. “Okay, let’s go home.”
But they were about to leave when Shangguan Rouxue upset her huge hat in a seemingly accidental way. She was recognized instantly.
Many people gathered around and wanted to have a photograph clicked with her and asked for an autograph from her .
She was a very famous hostess in A City. Due to her graceful appearance, sweet voice as well as the fresh and elegant charisma, she had become the top hostess at the television station of A City in less than two years’ time. Many old and experienced hostess were down in popularity because of her.
She hadn’t made much efforts to hide herself when she was out today. So she was recognized instantly after the hat slipped.
She grinned at everyone, took pictures and signed autographs in a gentle and generous way.
People applauded and cheered for her behavior.
Xie Zhuojun kept himself away from her and stood a short distance away. He watched Shangguan Rouxue who was extolled by the public and was shining among the crowd. She would receive so much attention with him along the side.
A strange sense of satisfaction filled up his heart. He had forgotten everything about Shangguan Ning.
Shangguan Ning had no awareness of the undercurrent and liveliness here. She was fiddling with the vegetables in a good mood.
She had very little experience with food making. But that didn’t prevent her from having the ambition to show off her skills.
Jing Yichen walked into the kitchen and found the woman, who claimed herself a wonderful cook, pouring the oil into the pot whilst checking up “A Collection of Home Food” on the phone.
He couldn’t help but feel worried about his own stomach. “Ms. Shangguan, are you sure you can cook?”
Shangguan Ning glared at him and said with dignity, “All is written here! I can read, okay!”
Jing Yichen was finally sure now – Shangguan Ning couldn’t cook at all!
He grinned, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and put the panicking woman aside. “You do the dishes later. Leave this to me, now.”
Shangguan Ning’s eyes were full of doubt seeing Jing Yichen who was dressed in a completely white suit. He was a Master from a wealthy family! He must have been pampered and served every day. She would be the God of Chef if he could cook.
Jing Yichen ignored Shangguan Ning’s doubt. He placed his long fingers upon the crystal button, took off his coat elegantly and flung it to her. “Wait outside. It will be ready soon.”
Shangguan Ning’s throat dried up seeing him unbuttoning the suit. When the suit was flung to her, his fragrance reached her senses. She flushed and her heart palpitated.
She was a normal woman who wanted to want to fling herself at the sight of his perfect body.
Shangguan Ning carefully held the tailor-made, suit which had been made with expensive material, in her arms and tried to cover her anxiety by smiling. “Only top coat? Why not pants too?”
She wanted to slap herself after she said that.
Are you crazy, Shangguan Ning? Did you know what you just said?
A gleam flashed across Jing Yichen’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows. “Oh, I didn’t know there is such a rule at Ms. Shangguan’s home. Alright, guest will obey the host. I will strip if you want to take a look!”
He said as he stretched out his hands to remove the belt.
Startled, Shangguan Ning shut her eyes instantly. With a loud scream, she ran out of the kitchen with the suit covering her face.
