Diana was shocked by Brian’s unexpected kiss.
It took her a few seconds to gather her thoughts before she tried to push Brian away. However, he had already let go of the embrace and was ready to speak.
“If you dare to say that stuff again, I will kiss you again. Do you think I am miserable? Well, aren’t you more miserable after being kissed by me?”
Diana was speechless. His argument was completely illogical; she used to think he was smart!
Just as they were about to begin the next round of arguments, Ken knocked on the door. “Boss, Miss Anderson, it’s time for dinner.”
“Okay, you go, we’ll join shortly,” Brian replied briskly.
Brian turned his head to Diana and noticed her expectant face.
“You are not allowed to have dinner tonight,” he said with a devilish look.
“What? Why?” Diana protested.
“Because this is my house!”
Diana seized his arm quickly and uttered, “You can’t just leave me like this! Let me go! I have to eat!”
Seeing Diana gazing at him so angrily, with eyes wide open, Brian thought it was funny. This girl… It was so easy to make her angry! And Brian found it very rather attractive that she cared so much about everything. He’d gotten what he wanted, so at last conceded, “Fine, if you want it that badly! Go and eat…”
They went downstairs to eat and watched Diana shovel food into her mouth. Brian was speechless. She was so unladylike; it looked like she had been starved for years!
Despite this, and perhaps without realizing it, Brian smiled lovingly at Diana, as if he was looking at his own personal treasure.
Diana, meanwhile, was focused on eating the delicious food and did not notice his steady gaze.
At that time, Ken walked in quietly and stepped on Brian. He whispered something that instantly made Brian change his loving expression.
Brian adopted his usual cold look and stood up. “Let’s go to my study room,” he said to Ken.
Brian left abruptly and without explanation. But Diana didn’t think much about it; she only cared about the food in front of her.
Once they had entered the study, Brian looked at Ken, “Is it true?”
Ken nodded awkwardly, “Yes.”
Brian raised his eyebrows. “Why would Carol do that? She is my fiancée. Diana can’t threaten her status.”
Brian’s words made Ken want to laugh. Did Brian really think that? Maybe he was the only one in this world who believed that was true. Wait, there was one other person who would also believe that, Diana.
But seeing Brian speak in a serious tone, Ken didn’t contradict him. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Maybe she just misunderstood you.”
“Misunderstood?” Thinking of this word, one person came to Brian’s mind: Antonette White. Brian knew Antonette had done a lot of bad things behind Diana’s back. He couldn’t help thinking Antonette might be in some way responsible for this. After all, she had a history of manipulation, and she had met Carol before.
Brian shook his head and said to Ken, “You go find Antonette White. I have to meet with her.”
“Antonette?” Ken was confused for a moment but soon worked out Brian’s plan and nodded. “Okay, I’ll go call her now.”
Brian returned to the dining room to finish his meal. To his disappointment, Diana had finished her dinner already. A servant told him Diana had gone back to her bedroom, so Brian went to find her there.
As the lock was broken and hadn’t been changed, Brian pushed the door open and walked straight in.
Diana was lying on the bed watching a TV drama. Seeing Brian walk in, she frowned and said, “Mr. William, have you forgotten your promise? Knock first!”
Brian said, “The door was not locked.”
“That doesn’t matter; it’s about courtesy.”
Brian looked at Diana with raised eyebrows. “You are my girl. Why should I be careful to enter your room?”
“Excuse me? Who is your girl?!” Diana shouted.
“Aren’t you?” Brian said, surprised.
“No!”
Brian smiled coldly and said, “I have slept in the same bed with you, under the same quilt. I am a man with whom you have been quite intimate. Why are you so cold-hearted? Or, do you have so many men that I don’t qualify as your man?”
Diana felt the conversation was going down a dangerous road, so she turned to one side and plugged in her headphones, returning to the TV series.
“Are you ignoring me?”
Diana didn’t hear Brian’s question.
Brian rolled his eyes and walked to Diana. He gently took the headset from Diana’s head and said, “Hey, let’s discuss my illness.”
Although Diana knew he just wanted to have her attention, she still sat up. “Go ahead,” she said reluctantly.
Brian went to close the door and sat on the bed. He pretended to think for a while then uttered, “I think a part of what you said to me makes sense.”
Diana raised her eyebrows, “Well, well… you finally agree with me on something!”
“I only said a part of it.”
“Well…?”
“You said I need stimulation. So maybe I’ll be healed after being stimulated many times.”
Diana stared at him in shock. “Wait! When did I say that? I just meant you might need a psychologist. I didn’t say…”
“But I think your idea is great,” Brian interrupted.
Diana turned and looked at Brian’s smiling handsome face. Suddenly, she understood what Brian was planning. “Well, if you think it’s a good idea, you can go and stimulate yourself. I am busy now, we can talk about this later.”
“You’re my doctor,” Brian said.
Diana sensed danger in his words. What did he mean?
“So, you should stimulate me. After all, you are a medical science major. You can probably do it well.”
“What? Diana was stunned. She added, “I am a traditional Chinese physician, not a psychologist. I quit!”
“If you quit, I will call your brother to treat me.”
“What? You wicked creature!” Diana jumped down from the bed.
Daniel was in the middle of a very important medical project with his tutor, involving traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. If Brian forced him to quit the project, it would destroy Daniel’s future. What’s more, the girl Daniel loved was also on the project team.
Brian knew about all this; that was why he had mentioned Daniel. And it seemed to work as Diana hesitated. After a long pause, she said, “Do not call my brother!”
Brian raised his eyebrows. He knew Diana would do anything for her brother. He lowered his voice and said, “Well, then…”
“I’ll do it! No matter what stimulation you need, I’ll do it,” Diana said reluctantly.
Brian pointed at Diana and smiled. “Remember what you said.”
Seeing his smiling face, Diana thought Brian must have some bad ideas. But she had said yes, now it was done.
