BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Why Not?
Cheng Lang sat on the couch and watched as Xing Shu busied herself. He had no intention of helping. Xing Shu washed the fruits, as annoyance came over her. No matter what, she was a patient now.
Atter washing the fruits, Xing Shu threw the walking stick aside gloomily and panted softly. “I don’t have anything else to offer you. Don’t mind, Young
Uncle. ”
Cheng Lang retracted his gaze and saw that Xing Shu was so tired that the tip of her nose was sweating. Her cheeks were also red. “The management system has added the two protocols you suggested. You can apply for double the year-end bonus from the Finance Department.”
The sudden change in topic gave Xing Shu a whiplash. When she came to, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. “What?” Here she was, brimming with annoyance and Cheng Langs mind was actually on the company? How typical of the Buddha on Earth to not waste any energy on women.
Xing Shu bit her lip angrily. Wasn’t this what she had hoped for? He was businesslike; so could she… and could control her heart.
“Ok. Thank you, President Cheng.” Xing Shu stood up with her walking stick and made a gesture to send him off. “Then I won’t keep President Cheng.
Please.”
Cheng Lang held Xing Shu’s wrist. When Xing Shu lowered her head, she could see the black Buddhist bracelet on Cheng Lang’s wrist. She felt that it made him look even more otherworldly. A Buddha should stay in the clouds and not descend to the mortal world.
Cheng Lang asked, “Are you angry?”
Wow, he could tell she was angry for a change. Xing Shu took a deep breath and felt that her anger was indeed inexplicable. “No, I just feel that Young Uncle should be very busy. I’m already home, so I shouldn’t take up any more of your time.”
Cheng Lang said calmly, “I’m indeed very busy with work, but I’m not as busy as you think.”
Xing Shu was frustrated. She was not conflicted about whether he was busy with work or not! Xing Shu took a deep breath and her gaze landed on Cheng Lang’s wrist again. For some reason, she recalled a rumor that Jin Yue also had a Buddhist bracelet on her wrist. It should be a gift from him. It was no wonder that she could not forget him after giving her such an intimate gift.
Xing Shu held her breath. She hooked the Buddhist bracelet and looked straight at Cheng Lang. “Young Uncle, this Buddhist bracelet is lovely. Can you give it to
Xing Shu was momentarily stunned by herself. Why did she ask such a stupid question?When she came to, she ignored the pain in her feet and pounced on Cheng Lang, kissing him. Cheng Lang took the opportunity to hold her waist and turned his head slightly. “So horny? Your feet don’t hurt anymore?”
Xing Shu’s heart raced wildly. The more she thought about it, the more stupid she felt. Why would she want that Buddhist bracelet?! She must be out ofher mind! She lowered her head and kissed Cheng Lang’s neck. Cheng Lang’s pupils instantly darkened as he raised Xing Shu’s chin. “You’re not feeling well, so don’t seduce casually.”
Just then, there was a loud knock on the door. “Bang, bang, bang!”
Cheng Xingyang wished he could smash the door in front of him! He was actually the last to know of Xing Shu’s episode at the police station! Cheng Xingyang was a prideful man. He had been checking his cell phone ever since he heard the news. Logic dictated that Xing Shu should be helpless and isolated, and should have called him for help. But why didn’t she? When did Xing Shu stop calling and sending him messages? Cheng Xingyang was bent out of shape at this realization. He was angry that he actually cared about Xing Shu! What right did a slutlike Xing Shu—who only knew how to seduce men behind his back—have to make him take it to heart? He had slept with Xing Linlin, but didn’t Xing Shu also fooled around with a man? It was just that she hid it better. For all he knew, she might have been unfaithful way before him. Therefore, he did not let her down; it was the other way round.
“Xing Shu, open the door!” The more he thought about it, the angrier Cheng Xingyang became.
Xing Shu sat on the couch and did not get up to open the door. Instead, she raised her hand and hooked it around Cheng Lang’s neck. Cheng Lang looked at her and removed her hand. “Not going to open the door?”
Xing Shu found it funny. She pointed at herself and then at Cheng Lang. “Open the door? Do you want Cheng Xingyang to see how his uncle cares about his niece-in-law?”
Cheng Lang asked, “Why not?”
Bang! Bang! The banging on the door continued. Cheng Xingyang seemed bent on breaking the door down if Xing Shu did not open it. Xing Shu took her cell phone and wisely turned it off. Cheng Xingyang began to make a call when the door remained closed. When he heard the voice on the other end of the phone saying, “Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off…” Cheng Xingyang was so infuriated that he almost smashed the phone..
