In the bedroom, Shangguan Ning had already put on her clothes as fast as she could and was about to walk outside to greet his grandparents.
Seeing him walking back, she asked anxiously, “Have they left?”
Jing Yichen nodded, lifted his hands to wipe away thin drops of sweat that shone on her forehead and said casually, “It is alright. Don’t be anxious, not even when you meet them in the future. It is they who came in, unannounced.”
Seeing Jing Yichen nonchalant attitude, Shangguan Ning relaxed and got rid of her nervousness.
She was not silly. She could see that Jing Yichen’s behaviour towards his family lacked warmth. Although she had no idea why, yet his feelings were her priority. She would be respectful and polite to his family, but both sides will have to put in a fair bit of effort if they were to have a deep and meaningful relationship .
She believed that Jing Yichen wouldn’t be so cold and distant towards his family without a valid background story to it. He must have had his own reasons. If he didn’t want to share them with her yet, then she wouldn’t pry either.
She too, had her share of messy issues with her family. She had no idea how to tell Jing Yichen about the pain and the damage in her heart. She had no intention of telling him either. Jing Yichen on his part, had been respectful enough to not ask her a thing, when he saw her coming out of her home in such a mess, the other night. Instead, he had simply offered her his shoulders, his warmth and a place that she could call home.
Shangguan Ning pushed these unpleasant thoughts out of her head and said cheerfully, “I was just wondering how should I greet them. Now that they’ve left, I will go and meet them another day instead!”
When Jing Yichen envisioned her panicking sometime ago and how she had tried to worm herself into his arms, he suddenly bent down towards her to kiss her. He had begun to lose all control over himself.
Her lips were gentle and soft. He could smell her fragrance, making him want to suck her lips even more.
Shangguan Ning was startled by Jing Yichen’s abrupt behavior. She wanted to dodge him, but was unable to move even an inch.
Her breasts were leaning against his half-naked chest, and his heartbeat could be heard clearly. She could feel the warmth of his body..
His kiss was very gentle and full of unspoken affection.She felt spoilt by all the love he gave her.
It took a while before Jing Yichen finished the kiss.
By then, Shangguan Ning was breathless.. like a fish out of water.
Jing Yichen wrapped her into his arms and teased her. “Why are you still so unskilled, even after so many kisses? Why do you get breathless?”
Shangguan Ning’s fair cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at him in a way she thought was fierce, and walked out with her chin held high.
She an arrogant expression on the face. Bah, unskilled? President Jing wasn’t so skilled either!
After her shower, Shangguan Ning sat in the living room and started to read a thick deck of newspapers whilst Jing Yichen went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for them.
There was no other way out – Sister Fang, Sister Lan who were the domestic helps, as well as Old Du who was the chef, had already gone home for the Chinese New Year. Shangguan Ning cooked terribly. Therefore, the President had no option but to do everything himself.
The newspapers had been piling on the table since a week. She had not read any of them ever since she started work. She had been so busy that she hadn’t kept herself updated of any current affairs.
Subconsciously, she turned to the financial page and the words “Jingsheng Enterprise” caught her eyes immediately. Jingsheng Enterprise had been in the limelight for the past one week. Jing Yichen was in the spotlight. The same Jing Yichen who was making breakfast for her in the kitchen, at this very moment.
The newspaper didn’t carry his picture, only his name, appearance and a general description of his personality. According to the journalist, he was not only good-looking and wealthy, but also friendly and humble. At 32, he was the most eligible bachelor in the city.
Now that Jing Yichen had taken over as the new President, people were even more curious about him and his life.
Shangguan Ning knew that each time the journalists went for an interview at Jingsheng Enterprise, it was the Public Relation Officer who received them. Even the senior assistant Lu Qing would not meet any journalists, let alone Jing Yichen who was topmost in the hierarchy. Lu Qing had also specifically directed the Head of Public Relations Department that the picture of the President should not be leaked. They could, however, speak of the President’s positive character traits, so as to build a wonderful image of him. If they failed to follow instructions, they would lose their jobs instantly.
If an individual was appointed as a director at Jingsheng, he or she tended to be a person who understood exactly what the boss wanted. The Director of the Public Relations Department was a smooth, slick man who was well connected. Therefore, only news of Jing Yichen’s positive personality made it the newspaper. He was the ‘national heartthrob” who was perfect in everything rather than someone who was cold, distant and intelligently skilled.
Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the newspaper. This “National Heartthrob” Jing Yichen was already married, and if his crazy fans knew about it, they would certainly be heartbroken.
She flipped the newspaper page and the picture that greeted her eyes, spoilt her mood completely.
On the entertainment page, the headline was “Shangguan Rouxue – The city’s most popular hostess, becomes brand ambassador for the first time.”
In the picture, she was wearing her shoulder-length hair open and had donned a white lacy dress that outlined her almost perfect physical figure. She had a white cell phone in one hand, the other hand showing the V sign. She looked gentle, delicate and attractive. Much like a freshly bloomed lotus. Everyone loved her.
Shangguan Ning sneered. How many people had been cheated by Shangguan Rouxue’s beautiful face. Even she was fooled by it initially – she had thought that her sister would only want the best for her. But after being cheated and used, too many times, she no longer trusted her.
Shangguan Rouxue always played the victim. She would lose the things she loved, for no apparent fault of hers. Then she would explain to others anxiously, that all this was because of Shangguan Ning ,her sister so that no one could ever blame her!
When she was younger, Shangguan Ning would always feel suffocated next to Shangguan Rouxue, because no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to match up to Shangguan Rouxue, who excelled in grades, appearance, kindness and the love of her father....
But now, Shangguan Ning didn’t have these stressful feelings anymore. She understood the kind of woman that Shangguan Rouxue was. According to Shangguan Rouxue, everyone else was evil, pretentious and upto no good.
The commercial company she represented, must have been taken in by her charisma of being kind, pure and delicate. But there were hundreds of other stars who were better than her in all these aspects. Why on earth did the company choose Shangguan Rouxue instead?
When Shangguan Ning read the fine print below, she understood immediately.
Liyu Science & Technology...
Shangguan Ning’s heart ached.
It was the company under charge of her second uncle, Shangguan Hang, the one that dealt with high-end digital products. It had a history of more than twenty years.
And Liyu Science & Technology had been named after her mother Huang Liyu.
