She squirmed tentatively, but he stopped biting her, instead his hot tongue curled around her earlobe in one fell swoop and sucked heavily.
Well …
What the hell does he want to do? Did he not understand what she just said? He told him to keep his distance, but he didn’t do that, he even got closer!
Does he know that this will only make her misunderstand, only to make her even more in love with him to the point of inability to extricate herself!
“Who told you that I’m going to marry Nabi Yan?” Failing to break away, her hand rested on the door handle, but he snapped it. His voice had a husky, to-die-for sexiness to it that landed right on her ear and made her shiver.
It took a lot of effort to hear his words clearly. The small hand that he was holding, trembled gently, and the fingertips gripped the door handle. She lowered her eyes, “I heard it from my family, but … you admitted it yourself, didn’t you?”
“When did I ever admit to that?” He raised an eyebrow.
Her small mouth opened slightly and she looked at him sideways, “This morning, you …”
“I only said that you were invited to the wedding, I didn’t say I was getting married right away, let alone that I was marrying Nabi.”
Her eyes widened and she stared at him incredulously.
So, what he means, is … he’s not going to marry Nabi at all?
But …
She hung her head and bit her lip lightly, “Don’t you lie to me …”
“Why would I lie to you?” he asked rhetorically. Zoey’s hazel eyes fixed on him, and there was no hint of wavering or weakness in his eyes, no sign of a lie.
Her mind wandered, and her eyes became misty. Could it be that he really wasn’t going to be with Nabi?
“Don’t, Jerry!” her voice, whispering, trembled. Her eyelashes trembled terribly, and she turned her eyes sideways, hooded and misted as if they had been moistened from water, charming in the extreme.
“I’m … on vacation …,” she said, her face tinged red.
Jerry Xiao’s eyebrows are all black lines, what the hell is this woman thinking? Did she think he was so horny that he wouldn’t even let her go at a time like this?
“I just want to try to see if your abdominal pain is better.” He just wanted to rub her belly … she was thinking too much!
Zoey wanted to find a hole to burrow into, blushing and glancing at him, she hurriedly let go of him before hurriedly fixing her blouse. She turned around, withdrew from Jerry Xiao’s arms, looked up, and at first met his deep gaze, her heart leapt and she lowered her head.
Heard him speak leisurely, “I’m not trying to marry anyone, taking care of Nabi out of a sense of guilt and duty.”
Zoey froze for a moment.
Is this, in fact, an explanation?
Lifting his head, his eyes remained fixed on her. She bit her lip, her eyes shining as she gazed at him, and asked, “Why do you have to explain so much to me?”
At the bottom of her eyes, the anticipation was clearly written.
Jerry Xiao ringed his chest, and his eyes narrowed. This woman, is she really confused, or is she pretending to be confused with him?
“In a good mood, trying to explain.”
Zoey was dumbfounded. What kind of answer is that?
“What about you, how far have you gotten with Sea Gu? I heard that you are going to work for him as a secretary?”
“Hmm.” Zoey nodded her head. Answered only that latter question.
Jerry Xiao, clearly annoyed by her habit of asking one question and answering half of it, raised an eyebrow, “So what’s your relationship with him now?”
He was completely unaware of how acidic his tone of voice was when he pursued the question.
But he knew that as long as she dared to answer that it was a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, he would not mind breaking off the cooperation with Gu completely.
“I’m in a bad mood, I don’t want to talk about it.” I didn’t know that Zoey would answer this way.
Jerry Xiao froze for a moment, then glared at her.
This woman, how dare she use his words to block herself? It seems that after not being under his control, she is getting bolder and bolder!
Zoey knew he was angry and didn’t care. The mood, because of the explanation he just gave, suddenly became much better. Whatever the reason he explained to himself, at least he wasn’t going to marry any woman, which, more than anything, made her happy.
“I’ll go first, everyone’s coming up later.” Zoey said goodbye to him, her lips raised at the corners with a beautiful smile.
He narrowed his eyes and propped himself up against the door, not letting go, but instead was obstinate, “What exactly is your relationship with Sea Gu?”
What to do? She was in a better mood, it seemed.
“I was in such a good mood that I forgot!” She continued to learn from him.
“Hey!” He was tempted to be very angry.
She finally couldn’t help but ‘pfft’ a laugh and explained very seriously and earnestly, “He and I are just friends.”
“Just friends?” He was skeptical. Were friends that close?
“Technically speaking, very good friends.” She added.
“Just like that?” He seemed completely unaware that he now resembled a classless jealous man.
But she was patient and continued to nod her head, assuring, “Really, just very good friends.” .
He raised an eyebrow.
The face then became much better and the hand dropped from the door panel.
“You get busy with your work, bento’s on the way, I should get back too.” Zoey said goodbye again.
Zhan closed his eyes than the sofa, “Sit down first, wait for me to eat, I will send you away.”
She had such severe abdominal pain and she could still run around?
What if she crouches on the floor in pain again, like this morning at the hospital, with no one to care for her?
Jerry Xiao’s heart is racing just thinking about it.
…
On the way to drop Zoey off at home, Zoey suddenly received a phone call from her brother.
“Brother.”
“Zoey , if you’re not busy now, come to the office. I’ll be waiting for you in my office.” Owen Baker’s voice came faintly.
“Brother, is something wrong?” Zoey felt strange at heart. She had never cared about the company, so why did her brother suddenly call herself to the company today?
“Don’t you worry, there’s nothing wrong. It’s just that the shares in the hands of the Baker family, to share a part of you, need you to sign a signature.”
“Hmm? Why are you suddenly giving me shares?”
“Don’t be surprised. This is what Dad said to give to your two kids as a gift, so I’ll put it in your hand for now and give it to them later when they’re older. Okay, hurry up and come over.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. The Baker family is going to sell off their stock. The Baker family is selling off their shares?”
His tone, muted, his eyes still focused on the road, sounded like he was just asking a casual question and not taking it to heart.
Zoey didn’t think much of it, and while putting away the phone, she replied, “It’s not a sell-off, it’s just a part of the shares that I want to give.”
“So that’s it.” Jerry Xiao nodded lightly.
It seems that the Baker family’s current situation has been very unsatisfactory, Owen Baker reason for the gift of stock this trick, perhaps is worried that one day when the Baker family changed hands, she can still keep part of the assets. When the time comes, when you are really desperate, you can also take these shares to cash out.
Along the way, the two did not talk much more on this topic of stocks.
Jerry Xiao drops Zoey off directly under the Baker family. After she pushes the door and gets out of the car, Jerry Xiao lowers the window again and calls out to her. She looked back and heard him say, “For the next few days, go to my place and drink your medicine!”
After that, he didn’t wait for Zoey to say anything, he already raised the car window and flew the car away.
Looking at the shadow that soon disappeared in the traffic, Zoey lightly hooked his lips, smile, scattered in the wind …
…
Zoey went straight upstairs. When he arrived at the president’s office, Owen Baker was talking to someone about a project, so Zoey didn’t go in directly, but just stood at the door and waited for a while.
Owen Baker had spotted her, looked at her, and gestured for the other woman to go out first.
“Close the door and come in and sit down.” Owen Baker waved her over, went back to his desk, pressed the intercom and ordered, “Send over a glass of boiling water, yes, nothing to add, just a glass of water.”
The secretary quickly brought in the water, no one had seen Zoey, naturally did not know that she was the jewel of the Baker family group, only thought it was Owen Baker’s new love. The secretary couldn’t help but look twice.
“Stop looking and get out and do something.” Owen Baker shooed the female secretary out and handed Zoey water himself.
Zoey smiled, “Brother knows me best.”
Picked the blinds in the office again and searched a few circles outside with one eye.
“What’s to see?” Owen Baker asked, as he held out the papers he had already prepared earlier.
“In seeing which one is the girl you like, brother. Eh, brother, that one is not bad looking, does she have a boyfriend?” Zoey pointed her finger at the assistant who was busy with her head outside the door.
“Stop it.” Owen Baker couldn’t get a hold of her; ever since he and Nabi divorced, she always acted like she was going to be the bride.
“Come and sit down, take a look at this document and sign it. Dad’s already signed it and is waiting for you.” Owen Baker rested his pen on the document.
Zoey just walked over and flipped through the file, her jaw dropped in surprise. “Brother, what is this for? Why do you want to give me 15% of the shares?”
The Baker family owns only 25% of the Baker family. Why should she be given so much?
“It’s Daddy’s idea, it’s okay, Daddy is giving it to two kids. Sign it!” Owen Baker, his face unchanged, only urged her on.
“What about you? Dad only has 10% of the shares left in his hands. By rights, the 15% should be for you. You’re the one who’s been working for this company!” It’s not fair to Owen to give it all to himself.
“And you’re counting with me on this?” Owen Baker smiled, his expression was warm, “Isn’t giving it to you the same as giving it to me? Don’t talk so much, hurry up and sign it, I have a meeting to attend later.”
He looked down at the time with an anxious look on his face.
Zoey thought it was a bit strange, but since it was a gift for the kids, she signed it without thinking too much about it. Anyway, it was the same for everyone, it belonged to the Baker family.
After running around a few places in a row all day, it was after 5 p. m. when Zoey had to go home. The kids were just getting out of class at that time. She took a taxi and waited in front of the school for the children to come out.
The family’s driver also arrived on time, and when he saw Zoey there, he hurriedly greeted her.
“Zoey!” The kids came out of the room at a run, each carrying a school bag. It’s not often that they see Zoey picking them up from class, so the two little ones were surprised.
Zoey’s heart twisted up and she rushed forward, urging them, “Run slowly, don’t fall.”
The two children ran into her arms, one after the other, and she turned her face sideways and gave each of them a kiss on the little cheeks.
“Zoey how come?” Nini asked with her small arms around her neck, blinking her big eyes.
“Here to torture you two!” Zoey, with a deliberately stern face, picked up Nini with one hand and took KK. with the other and led the two children to the car.
The two children looked at each other and wondered what was wrong.
Sitting in the car, Zoey took the bags off for each of the kids before asking, “I heard from the teacher that you two skipped school this morning, didn’t you?”
