“You dare to threaten me with divorce?” Xia Feiqing reached out and clasped her lower jaw at once, and with a slight force, pulled her entire body into his arms. The biting breath approached, she struggled, and her slender waist was already firmly held by Xia Feiqing. He had a light smile in his eyes, but the words he uttered were piercing, “This game was started by me, so to say it’s over only I’m qualified. If you want to end it early, it’s not impossible – fall in love with me! As long as you dare to fall in love with me, I can let you go at any time!”
Zhao Lanlan looked at him with an incomprehensible face, “You … are crazy!”
“Hope, what are you doing that’s so stupid! Men are everywhere, what kind you want, mom and dad will find you one, your body is your own, if you don’t care about yourself, who will care about you!”
Ji Qing Yue rushes to the hospital and sees Zhao Yuanyuan waking up, immediately persuading her bitterly.
“I don’t want anyone, I want Joey Xu!” spoke Zhao Yuanyuan obstinately.
Ji Qing Yue looked at Zhao Jiang Yan. Zhao Jiangyan sighed, ”Why are you so stupid? That man doesn’t love you! What good is it for you to marry him? In the future, you won’t be able to collect his heart, and you’ll be the one who suffers.”
“I couldn’t care less! If I hadn’t married him, I’d have been suffering by now!”
Zhao Jiangyan’s face was not good, ”Why are you so capricious? You’ve seen it too! He even brought heavy gold and so much jewelry over to withdraw from the marriage, can’t you see his determination?”
“Dad, I have an idea that will make him marry me!” Zhao Yuanyuan spoke up.
Zhao Jiangyan and Ji Qingyue glanced at each other, “You’ve been asleep for so long, what idea can you have?”
“Didn’t Joey Xu give you a list? All you have to do is put the word out that this list was obtained from Joey Xu, and naturally someone will come after him.”
Zhao Jiangyan frowned slightly, “What does this have to do with marrying you?”
“You just do it, and don’t worry about the rest. Someone will help me out anyway!” Zhao Yuanyuan said.
“Someone to help you out?” Ji Qingyue looked at her daughter suspiciously, “Who can help you out?”
“Geez, I’m having a hard time right now, can you guys not ask so many questions? If you still want me to live well, you guys just do what I say, okay?” Zhao Yuanyuan was a bit impatient and after thinking for a while, she added, “Also, don’t say any of this to your sister. She’s hell-bent on helping Joey Xu, and I don’t want her to badmouth me.”
With that, she laid back down on the bed and buried her head under the covers, not saying any more to them.
Ji Qingyue sighed, “What a willful child.”
But …
For the sake of their daughter, what choice did they have? Only to do as they were told.
Sammy Jones started back to work. The ring on her finger hadn’t been removed, and as soon as she entered the office, she flashed into the eyes of her coworkers.
“Wow, Sammy Jones, I bet you took a few days off to sneak off and get married? This diamond is too big, no wonder you’re talking about buying a house!”
“…” Sammy Jones didn’t even know what to say back. Her house payment had nothing to do with Joey Xu! It was clearly the money she had been saving for so long!
“When will you have the wedding banquet, don’t forget about us. I really didn’t expect that when you were scolding Joey Xu in our office all day long, now you’re even together with him.”
Sammy Jones lost his smile. But isn’t it? Maybe, it’s true destiny!
“It’s still early for the wedding wine, at least until my sister gets married first.”
“Why don’t you tie the knot together? Two sisters together, how romantic.”
“My sister’s getting married soon, and I can’t be in such a hurry to get anything ready!” Sammy Jones smiled out of the corner of his eye.
Le Mei came over to her face and sized her up for a long time, “Amazing, taking a few days off and having a rosy complexion. It looks like it’s well nourished!”
“…” Sammy Jones reddened, grabbed the rolls on the table and just hit her, “You can’t say two good things.”
“I’m telling the truth!” Le Mei screamed, holding her head and hiding.
The whole firm was in an uproar of good cheer.
When everyone was done gossiping, Sammy Jones walked back and sat down, thinking that he was going to bring Joey Xu to meet Andrea Jones and Neal Williams in the evening. He hadn’t exactly said that he was bringing his boyfriend to meet them, and he didn’t know how they would react to seeing Joey Xu.
Couldn’t care less! Trust that Andrea Jones will like whatever she chooses.
Throughout the day, met with several clients. By the time she dropped off her last client, it was almost time for her almost-appointment with Andrea Jones.
The cell phone, at that very moment, rang.
“Busy yet?” Joey Xu’s voice came from the other end, and the corner of Sammy Jones’ lips lifted, “Uh-huh.”
The soft voice, all of a sudden, caused sideways glances from her coworkers next to her, each smiling ambiguously, leaving her helpless and embarrassed.
She’s 27. Is it so unusual for her to get a boyfriend?
“Then come down, I’m already in front of your building.”
“Ah, I’ll be right down then.” Sammy Jones hung up the phone and immediately gathered her things. Hanging up the phone, she stepped on her high heels and hurriedly walked out the door, staggering a step as she walked a little too fast. Le Mei got up just in time, reached out to help her, rolling her eyes, “I say you, as far as it goes? Talking about a relationship, talking about the road can not walk?”
There was a stifled laugh from everyone.
Sammy Jones glared at her and stiffened his mouth, “Where’s the love talk, I’m just in a hurry.”
Le Mei gave a heartfelt laugh, “Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you. First love, it’s always easy to fall in love.”
The word first love was bitten so hard that all the coworkers heard it.
Sammy Jones gritted his teeth, “… Can’t you keep your voice down?”
“It’s okay, Sammy Jones, we both know you’re a first-timer.”
Sammy Jones was utterly speechless.
Lazy to pay attention to their jokes, carrying the bag out of the office. Out of the elevator, far from seeing Joey Xu’s car parked in front of the door, behind a colleague down together, a see that luxury car, goodbye to that window down after the appearance of that handsome face, can not help but collective wail.
This is too good to be true!
It is said that 27 years old is a leftover woman, by the man to pick three, but this is simply nonsense!
Not only did she not get picked on, she found such a quality husband. God’s favor!
Bearing the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Sammy Jones stiffly got into the car and said to him, “Hurry up and hurry up!”
Joey Xu started the car as he turned his face to look at her, and she looked visibly relieved.
“What? There’s a ferocious beast chasing you, huh?”
“Nah. Today, ah, wearing this …,” Sammy Jones held up his hand to poke at the sparkling diamond ring, “I’ve been getting teased by my coworkers all day, and I can’t hold back.”
Joey Xu asked seriously, “Should I come back to your office someday to introduce me formally?”
Sammy Jones inclined his head at him.
His eyes dropped to the road and he cleared his throat, saying in a serious voice, “We’re getting married, isn’t it only right that I should get to know you a little better? For example, which one is your BFF and which one is your closer coworker. I’ll have to memorize their numbers one by one later.”
“What are you taking their numbers for?”
“Preventing you from fighting with me in the future and leaving indiscriminately and just moving away!” Joey Xu thought back to the last time she left without a word, thankfully she had no intention of actually avoiding herself.
Sammy Jones’ eyes rolled back and he looked at him with a sideways grin, “We’re not even married yet and you’re figuring out how to piss me off enough to leave the house, aren’t you? Do you have to be mad at me to be happy?”
Joey Xu took her hand in his and grunted out, “Which time weren’t you a little more pissed off at me? I was preventing you from being stupid. Just like last time, I obviously went to the Zhao family to break off the engagement, but you thought I was going to Yuan Yuan to explain and left without leaving a word. With your self-righteous nature, what am I going to do if I don’t guard against you a little?”
Joey Xu was talking when his eyes inadvertently swept onto the rearview mirror, and his eyes sank slightly, surging into a dark color.
What Sammy Jones was saying, he didn’t pay attention to. Just let go of Sammy Jones and focused on moving the car forward.
But …
Behind them, however, there were still cars following them.
The tracking was, obviously, more skillful. Along the way, several cars had been changed. If he hadn’t been consistently vigilant and experienced, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have known about being followed all the way.
Sammy Jones glanced at his demeanor and noticed that his whole body was tense and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Joey Xu looked grave and didn’t say anything. Just silently drove the car forward a little further, and sure enough, there was someone behind him immediately following up again.
Sammy Jones didn’t understand what was going on yet, and even when she followed her line of sight backward, she didn’t see what was going on. After all, her circle was far removed from those of the mob and didn’t have the same instincts as Joey Xu’s.
“Sammy Jones, call your sister and brother-in-law and tell them we’re not coming over tonight.” Joey Xu was looking rare and serious at the moment.
Andrea Jones was still pregnant, so if they followed her there like that and were followed, it would scare her instead. He was having to be on his guard.
“Are you up to something?” Sammy Jones was foxed and confused, and, most likely, Andrea Jones and the others would have arrived by now – he had, after all, brought Joey Xu to the meeting for the first time, and it was a bit of a stretch to just blow off the appointment.
However, looking at Joey Xu’s expression again, she knew in her heart that there must be something big.
“Uh-huh.” Joey Xu answered, and when he saw that Sammy Jones already had his cell phone out, ready to dial, he added, “Explain it to them properly for me.”
Sammy Jones nods. It’s not like Joey Xu doesn’t care what her family thinks!
Results …
Joey Xu drove his car directly to the villa.
As he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, Sammy Jones looked at him in surprise, “Why are you here all of a sudden?”
“Well, stay here for the time being. I’ll ask Sister An to pack your toiletries at your place later.” Joey Xu led her through the door. With a seemingly inadvertent glance, she could see several cars parked far outside the villa.
Because of him, they still didn’t dare to act rashly.
“To get toiletries?” Sammy Jones was wondering even more inside, “Going to be here for a long time?”
“Not sure yet, wait for my notice.”
He just downplayed it and didn’t inform Sammy Jones about the fact that he had just been followed. For one thing, he wasn’t sure yet what the other party was and what their purpose was; for another, didn’t want her to worry too much.
Joey Xu instructed Sister An to prepare dinner.
Evening.
Sammy Jones came out of the shower and didn’t see Joey Xu in the bedroom. she wore her pajamas, stepped out of the bedroom, and explored the hall, and he was nowhere to be found.
“Miss Jones, looking for Mr. Xu?”
Ann had just finished cleaning up when she looked up and saw Sammy Jones.
“Yeah, he went out?”
“No, Mr. Xu is busy in his study.”
“Oh.” Sammy Jones glanced toward the den, and sure enough, a bit of light could be seen through the doorway. She turned to the kitchen and made a cup of hot tea before heading for the den.
Joey Xu is standing at the window talking on the phone with Goodburn, looking grave.
