Chapter 28.2

My happiness has nothing to do with YOU (2) 

As I finished speaking I immediately turned to look at Jiang Li, waiting for his critique. I angrily glared at him, mentally screeching what would you say now? Ah, that I was a rotten woman*? So, he was allowed to do whatever he wished with men and I did not ev

en have the right to imagine it, ah?


*Fujoshi

Jiang Li kept on driving leisurely and in a very casual manner asked: “What was your online friend; I don’t remember his name, doing here? He seems to really care about you.”

Me: “Yes, why, are you jealous?”
 

I had always been skeptical about Jiang Li’s attitude towards Wang Kai, apart from superficial aversion perhaps there was an underlying desire also. Although Wang Kai’s personality was not likable but in terms of appearance he was one of the best looking guys in the country.  

After listening to my words Jiang Li laughed out loud and said: “Yeah, I am jealous. So why don’t you figure out a way to stay away from him?”

Figure out a way to stay away from my boss? How was that possible? Oh God, I got a salary hike today only and I really did not want to quit my job. Was this some kind of joke or something, in order to extinguish Jiang Li’s fire of envy must this old lady let go of her recently doubled wages? Thinking like this, I firmly shook my head: “You want me to resign, not likely."

"Well." Jiang Li gave a monosyllable reply and then nothing happened.

I was a little scared. Jiang Li, this man, could murder a person without spilling a drop of blood, cold, underhanded and subtle that was how he handled things. If he decides to get back at me, what would I do?

Ah, dog’s leg*……So I smiled and said "Well, next time I will trick him to home and then leave him at your disposal."

*The original text was gǒu tuǐ zi  which literally means dog's leg and figuratively one who follows a villain / henchman / hired thug

"No need," Jiang Li shook his head, "I am not interested in this kind of stuff.”

Oh, it turned out that Wang Kai was not up to his standard. In my head suddenly an image of Xue Yun flashed, a fine male beauty, so delicious ah.

Jiang Li just drove silently, no longer saying anything to me. By now, we were almost home, when he abruptly asked: "Is your friend Wang related to Wang Cheng Hai in any way?”

My forehead furrowed as I started thinking deeply: “Wang Cheng Hai? This name sounds really familiar.”

Jiang Li explained: "Wang Cheng Hai is a major shareholder of the Southern Star Alliance. Your company is also a subject of this Southern Star Alliance.”

I slapped my forehead and spoke my thoughts out loud: "Yes, Wang Cheng Hai is his father."

Suddenly, the car came to a screeching halt. Since I wasn’t mentally prepared for it so I was completely shocked.

I turned around and was about to question Jiang Li, but discovered that with a somewhat dangerous glint in his eyes he was looking at me. In normal circumstances, this type of look implied Xiao Guan Yan made a mistake and Jiang Li was dissatisfied. I glanced at Jiang Li fearfully then bowed my head down, could not dare to look at him. Although I did not know what my mistake was, but…..I was scared…..

Xiao Guan Yan was indeed good for nothing.

"Xiao Guan Yan" Jiang Li's voice rang out, husky and sultry, my poor little heart fluttered badly in my chest: “You have become so much better at seducing, huh?”

Whoa, apparently he was dead set on seducing me! Whereas I was relentlessly resisting his charms!!




In the evening I was peeling apples for Jiang Li…….well, this was my position in this house. He was the big lord of the house. The capitalist, he wouldn’t stop till he squeezes out all the sweat and blood from my body. If you are wondering how was he able to make me, Xiao Guan Yan work for him so obediently? Then the answer was simple, are you kidding me, you think that if I, Xiao Guan Yan, fight back then I will be able to win against Jiang Li? Forget about one; even ten Xiao Guan Yan will not be able to beat one Jiang Li!

Oh God, just thinking about this grieves my heart to no extent. Without saying anything and without thinking anything I simply concentrated on peeling the apple. If it’s not cut properly then the Jiang Li wouldn’t be happy and then the consequences would be very serious!

I was half way through in the peeling process when suddenly my mobile phone rang. It was a message. I looked piteously at Jiang Li, could he allow the poor little me to check the message? He swept a glance at me and then waved his hand slightly, a gesture to grant me the permission.

I put down the apple, held my phone up to read the message. It was from a strange number.

The content of the message was very succinct: ‘Yan Yan, are you really happy?’

Jiang Li picked up the half peeled apple and started peeling the rest of it: “Whose message?”

Staring at that strange phone number I said: "Yu Zhi Fei.” In this world there was only one person who addressed me as ‘Yan Yan.’

Jiang Li did not stop his actions and without lifting his head he said: “Then?”

I looked down at the string of those six words: “then, just saying hello.”

“Oh.” Someone continued peeling his apple.

I stared at Yu Zhi Fei’s text for a moment and then suddenly spoke: ‘Jiang Li, I think all this is nonsense.”

“Uh….huh?” Jiang Li looked at me, puzzled.

“I mean all this acting in front of Yu Zhi Fei does not make any sense. You also said that we have been separated for four years and whatever feelings we had have already turned into ashes. So, why am I still engaged in exacting this needless revenge? Even I find it tasteless and silly.”

Jiang Li, who had already peeled the apple completely, started cutting it into slices.

He carefully cut the apple and in a completely indifferent tone said: “Yes, you are very silly.”

Hey!!!!

Me: “Jiang Li, if you encounter your old flame then what would you do?”

Jiang Li: “You should tell where only then I can answer what I will do.” What crap was he spewing now?

Me: “What if your former lover was lying naked on your bed, what would you do?”

Jiang Li: “Throw him out.”

Me: “I don’t believe you. How can you let such kind of temptation go in vain?”

Jiang Li: “If not, then I will click some pictures. They may come handy in future.”

Me: “You are really despicable!”

Jiang Li: “Forget about that. I will prosecute him for trespassing and sexual assault.”

Me:……
