John looked at Nina. Two words came out of his thin red lips.
"My partner."
Hearing his answer, Nina was euphoric. She tensed up, trying to stay calm and not get too overwhelmed. "Don't worry. I won't embarrass you and I will always protect you."
John was a man though. He didn't need a woman protecting him.
If anyone found out that he sought protection from a woman, he would be a made a laughingstock. It would be so shameful.
"Okay." He knew he didn't need her protection but nevertheless, he nodded and added, "Don't let any woman get close to me."
"What?" Nina raised an eyebrow. Her eyes widened in surprise and happiness sprawled across her face.
She was rather confused and pointed at herself saying, "I'm a woman.
How can I protect you without getting close to you?"
"Except you," his deep and mellow voice permissively said.
Nina felt a wave of relief smother her body. "You have entrusted me with the task of keeping any woman from approaching you, right?"
'Task?
No.
This is what you should do as a wife.'
"Yes." He nodded again and just let
on her thighs and gently started tapping her fingers.
John also noticed the eagerness in her eyes. He shook his head and chuckled. He liked that she enjoyed being as beautiful as she was.
As his wife, she should keep herself beautiful and this would only help him gain face.
"Make her up." Then he lowered the magazine in his hand to his knees and looked at the back of Nina.
Derek was at a loss. It was not that he didn't want to make her up, but he just asked Nina not to be in such a hurry. John had been waiting there for three hours. Why was he also in such a hurry all of a sudden?
"Yes, Mr. Shi." Derek turned around to look at John and found something wrong with the magazine on his lap.
Derek glanced at the lettering of the magazine
John was reading the magazine upside down. What was going on?
John had been reading the magazine for three hours. Did he not realize?
Love could really scatter the mind. Even John, who was such a wise and powerful man, could be taken down by love when faced with this beautiful woman.
What a pity!
'I am so jealous!'
