Chapter 4

Translated by trungtnguyen123

'Mr Chen drive to Tao Cang hotel,' Cheng Yi said.

Zhen Zhen was nervous to have to strange men sit across from her stare at her and the man who saved her sat silently next to her.

'I'm Zhen Zhen,' Zhen Zhen said. 'Thank you... I'm sorry about troubling you earlier.' freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

None of the men answered Zhen Zhen.

'You can drop me off at the street ahead,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I can take a taxi home.'

Yue Gu Zui opened his eyes. 'Did I say you can leave?'

Zhen Zhen looked at the scary intensity in Yue Gu Zui's eyes. Her heart pounded and she instinctively moved around the round seat closer to Cheng Yi.

'What do you want to do?' Zhen Zhen asked. 'It's illegal to kidnap a person.'

Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian laughed. They couldn't believe Zhen Zhen talked about breaking the law in front of their boss.

'What is there to laugh about?' Zhen Zhen asked.

Yue Gu Zui wasn't pleased Zhen Zhen moved closer to Cheng Yi.

'Come here,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'No,' Zhen Zhen said.

Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian were scared for Zhen Zhen's life. The last person who dared to argue with their boss had disappeared.

'Come here,' Yue Gu Zui said impatiently.

'You don't need to use a scary tone,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen reluctantly moved closer to Yue Gu Zui.

'I need a girlfriend,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'What has that got to do with me?' Zhen Zhen asked.

'You said I'm your boyfriend,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'I had no other choice,' Zhen Zhen said. 'Besides I thanked you.'

'Are you saying you used me?' Yue Gu Zui asked.

'No...' Zhen Zhen denied.

'Ok,' Yue Gu Zui said.

Yue Gu Zui laid his head on Zhen Zhen's thighs. She didn't know what he meant by ok. Why was it ok for him to lay his head on her thighs?

'Hey!' Zhen Zhen said.

'Don't move,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'Miss Zhen, our boss hasn't slept for three days and three nights,' Bai Yu Tian said. 'Can you let him sleep?'

Zhen Zhen thought it was pitiful Yue Gu Zui didn't sleep for three days and three nights. But it had nothing to do with her.

Zhen Zhen looked out the window. Her thighs were numb but she didn't have the heart to move and disturb Yue Gu Zui's sleep. His hair fell over his forehead and she thought he looked like a vulnerable child while he was sleeping. She couldn't stop her hand from brushing his hair behind his ear. Suddenly she felt Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian's eyes were staring strangely at her and she realised the car had stopped for a long time.

'Are we here?' Yue Gu Zui asked. 'Why didn't anyone wake me?'

Yue Gu Zui felt refreshed after a nap.

'It's ok to let them wait,' Bai Yu Tian said.

Bai Yu Tian and Cheng Yi knew their boss hated the Tao Nan gang inside.

Zhen Zhen wasn't satisfied about how slowly Bai Yu Tian adjusted his clothes. So she helped him button his shirt and felt three pairs of eyes stare at her strangely.

'He was adjusting his clothes too slowly,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I wanted to help him so I can go home earlier.'

Mr Chen opened the door. Yue Gu Zui wrapped an arm around Zhen Zhen and they walked into the Tao Cang hotel. That day Tao Cang was booked exclusively and it added danger to the hotel's atmosphere.

'Go find something to eat in the hotel restaurant,' Yue Gu Zui instructed. 'Don't wander around the hotel.'

Zhen Zhen was annoyed at Yue Gu Zui. But she behaved like a good vase and looked for food to fill her empty stomach. She walked into the hotel restaurant and hundreds of eyes made her too self-conscious to eat so she escaped to the toilet.

Zhen Zhen washed her face, tied hair into a ponytail and felt better after she cursed Yue Gu Zui at least seventeen times.

Zhen Zhen walked out of the toilet. She didn't want to go back to the restaurant and wandered around the hotel. She accidently heard voices in a private room.

'Mr Yue you've obstructed my business,' a man said. 'Considering I know teacher for many years, you should at least give me face in Tao Nan.'

'Mr Tao, teacher had not been involved in business for many years,' Bai Yu Tian said. 'Boss Yue has been in charge for many years.'

Mr Tao understood Bai Yu Tian calling him Mr Tao was giving him enough face.

Yue Gu Zui sat crossed legged on a chair unconcerned.

'I've said whoever buys from Da Tu Li is opposing me,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'You're asking me to stand by and watch you swallow my goods worth a few millions,' Mr Tao said.

Zhen Zhen had trouble breathing. It was tensed inside the private room.

'Mr Tao then it appears I've swallowed your goods worth a few millions,' Yue Gu Zui said. freewebnovel.c om

More than twenty guns were aimed at Yue Gu Zui and Zhen Zhen covered her mouth to stop from screaming.

Mr Tao held a remote. 'If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to release my goods then I'll make the windows in this room opaque and no one will know what happened to you.'

Suddenly Zhen Zhen couldn't see or hear anything from the private room. She couldn't charge into the room and become a shooting target. She searched her bag. Luckily there was a flask filled with chemicals from a failed experiment.

Zhen Zhen picked up a nearby vase, smashed a window and threw the flask into the private room. An explosion was heard and fumes obstructed the gang's vision.

Yue Gu Zui disarmed Mr Tao while Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian pulled out their guns.

Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian ran behind Yue Gu Zui. Outside the private room Yue Gu Zui saw Zhen Zhen, he held her hand and they ran to the car.

Mr Chen sped off after his boss' group entered the car.

'Cheng Yi, contact Huyen's group to deal with them,' Yue Gu Zui said coldly.

'Yes boss,' Cheng Yi said.

Yue Gu Zui looked at Zhen Zhen who buried her head in his chest.

'Did they give you a scare?' Yue Gu Zui asked.

Zhen Zhen raised her head and swallowed her saliva. 'A little.'

Yue Gu Zui didn't say anything else to comfort Zhen Zhen. She was annoyed why he didn't thank her for saving his life so she looked out the window.

'A lot of people are lining up in front of the Yue shop,' Zhen Zhen said. 'They sell the best cheese.'

Zhen Zhen rubbed her pitiful stomach. She would need to settle for a bowl of noodles after she arrived home.

'Are you hungry?' Yue Gu Zui asked. 'Do you like eating cheese?'

'Of course but I haven't had an opportunity to go buy cheese from the Yue shop,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen regretted wasting time going to Lan Jin and the Tao Cang hotel without eating anything.

'Mr Chen stop in front of the Yue shop,' Yue Gu Zui said. 'Cheng Yi buy a box of cheese.'

The car stopped and Cheng Yi ran into the shop.

'Why are you skipping the line?' an angry mob asked.

The women in the angry mob were also a little envious. They thought the handsome Cheng Yi risked his life to buy cheese for his lover.

Cheng Yi ignored the angry mob.

'Take the money,' Cheng Yi said to the shop owner. 'It's more than a few days of your revenue. I only want a box of cheese.'

The shop owner looked at the angry mob then he looked at the thick money notes. He would be a fool if he didn't take the money. He smiled and gave a box of cheese to Cheng Yi.

Zhen Zhen happily ate the box of cheese and thought Yue Gu Zui wasn't completely bad.

The car stopped in front of Zhen Zhen's house. She waved goodbye and hoped she wouldn't see Yue Gu Zui again.

Zhen Zhen walked into her home. Zhen Wu was sleeping in his room. She kissed his forehead and walked to her lab. She thought of Yue Gu Zui as a bad dream... she didn't know their fates were permanently tangled.
