Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Jingman’s mouth was agape as she looked at the dance floor in surprise. She furiously blinked her eyes to confirm, once again, that she was not seeing things.
Mo Wen was actually on the cruise ship! She had not imagined that she would be able to bump into Mo Wen on the cruise ship!
“Lady boss, it’s that lad! He’s just too much, but his female partner is so beautiful. I truly don’t understand how he was able to score such a beautiful and graceful female partner with that character of his!” Zheng Shuangshuang said, her tone laced with a little regret on behalf of his female partner.
She couldn’t believe that such a graceful and dignified beauty was actually in the company of that b*stard. It was like a fresh flower being stuck into a pile of cow dung!
“Is his female partner very pretty?” Gu Jingman lifted her sharp chin as she glanced sideways at Zheng Shuangshuang a little threateningly.
“Of course not. If she were to be compared to lady boss, the difference would be too great!” Zheng Shuangshuang smiled a little awkwardly.
She did not understand why the lady boss, who exuded so much confidence that she was bordering on arrogance, would compare herself to a lady who she did not even know. That was very unlike her!
“That woman does look rather beautiful I guess.” Gu Jingman’s expression was slightly cold as she let out a light humph.
“Lady boss, let’s not talk about her anymore. After all, we don’t even know her anyway. We should discuss how we can find a chance to teach that b*stard a lesson.” Zheng Shuangshuang bluntly diverted their attention back to Mo Wen.
To her, revenge was the most important thing. Otherwise, the anger within her would not dissipate.
“Shuangshuang, let’s not teach him a lesson after all. Girls should be more magnanimous. Although, he is indeed a b*stard!” Gu Jingman said a little uneasily.
“Lady boss, you said before that girls had to be more ruthless than boys. Only then can we live a more exciting life. Why are we letting him off?” Zheng Shuangshuang asked.
Since when had lady boss become such a saint?
“Shuangshuang, I recognize that person, so you can just let him off this once.” Gu Jingman smiled a little awkwardly.
She could not possibly say that even she would not be able to handle him! She clearly knew of Mo Wen’s abilities, and she could not just send her best friend into a dangerous confrontation. Hence, she tried to say it a little more tactfully.
Upon hearing that, Zheng Shuangshuang was shocked. She then said a little bitterly, “So he knows lady boss. No wonder he was so arrogant. He has people that he can rely upon. Alright, I’ll just be more forgiving. I can’t be bothered to fight with him anyway.”
Internally, Zheng Shuangshuang was extremely unwilling to let it go. However, she could do nothing else at the moment.
“Shuangshuang, don’t go and offend this b*stard in the future. He’s very bad. In fact, he’s a stinky hooligan, a big b*stard, and the most perverse of all perverts!” Gu Jingman warned her best friend.
“Oh...” Zheng Shuangshuang’s mouth was wide open as she looked at her lady boss in shock. She had never seen lady boss say such things about a person... everything was just so unusual today.
“In any case, just don’t offend him...” Gu Jingman noticed that she was acting out of character, so she immediately stopped talking. After issuing her last warning, she stood up and headed to the dance floor.
Zheng Shuangshuang’s entire face was full of confusion as she looked at her lady boss. She rolled her eyes, then got up to follow Gu Jingman.
...
“I bet you’re tired...” Mo Wen looked at Shen Jing and said gently.
After all, she was not like him. After a few dances, she was already out of breath. Also, women had to wear high heels while they were dancing, which was way more unpleasant than what men had to go through on the dance floor.
“Yup.” Shen Jing nodded her head slightly.
“Let’s not dance anymore then.” Mo Wen held Shen Jing’s hand and did not even wait for the song to end, but directly pulled her off the dance floor.
In the rest area, Mo Wen placed Shen Jing on a soft sofa, then bent down to remove her high heels.
“Let me massage your feet for you.” Mo Wen grabbed Shen Jing’s petite feet in his hands, then massaged them with just the right pressure.
It was very easy for women to hurt their feet when wearing high heels. It was even easier for the feet to become misshapen if the high heels were worn for too long a period of time. Hence, Shen Jing would only wear them on special occasions.
“You have such beautiful small feet.” Mo Wen was holding one of Gu Jingman’s small feet.
Initially, he had started out by actually massaging it. By the end, he was basically playing around with it and admiring it. Her feet were smooth and soft, just like a piece of white jade, making him reluctant to let go of them.
Shen Jing’s face reddened slightly. She did not even dare to look at Mo Wen, but she wanted so badly to pull her feet back. However, it was rare for Mo Wen to be so attentive, so she could not bear to ruin his good mood.
“Mr. Mo Wen, you seem to be in a good mood.” A slightly teasing voice rang out from not too far away. Soon after, a slim figure walked over.
Upon hearing that, Shen Jing turned to look. It was a girl who was dressed in a bluish white tight skirt. She was lithe, elegant, and graceful. She seemed to have the aura of a high-ranking person.
“Gu Jingman!” As Mo Wen saw the woman walking over, a look of shock flashed through his eyes.
How is it possible that I seem to bump into this woman everywhere? He was amazed as he bemused internally.
“Aren’t you going to welcome me?” Gu Jingman lifted her sharp chin and glanced over at Shen Jing. Then, she smiled a little mockingly at Mo Wen.
“I’m just a little surprised.” Mo Wen continued to massage Shen Jing’s small feet with his head lowered, as if he had not caught Gu Jingman’s unusual tone.
Shen Jing’s face flushed as she pulled her feet away from Mo Wen’s hands a little awkwardly. There was an outsider at the scene, after all, and she did not want Mo Wen to appear weak or sappy in front of others.
“I apologize. I seem to have disrupted your enjoyment,” Gu Jingman said laughingly. Although she voiced her apologies, her expression did not show a hint of care or concern.
Shen Jing looked at Gu Jingman curiously. She did not actually know Gu Jingman. However, she was able to deduce from Mo Wen’s words that the two of them had been rather close at one point.
“Why have you come looking for me?” Mo Wen stood up to sit on the sofa nearby. He slowly picked up a wine glass. It was as though he had ignored Gu Jingman completely, because he did not even have the intention of asking her to have a seat beside him.
“You mean I can’t come looking for you without some specific purpose? You heartless thing!” Gu Jingman put on a charming smile and sat down very close to Mo Wen anyway. However, her eyes were constantly trained on Shen Jing.
“Don’t make things sound so ambiguous. Are you not afraid that you will cause my wife to misunderstand you?” Mo Wen smiled unnaturally, his entire expression clearly trying to clarify the situation.
After all, Shen Jing was a very jealous person, and once she got jealous, it would take days upon days of cajoling to appease her anger. Hence, he did not dare to appear too close to Gu Jingman.
“So, this beautiful lady is your wife? You really have a lot of wives! Which wife is she?” Gu Jingman asked with a very shocked look on her face.
“Gu Jingman, you had better stop spouting nonsense! Otherwise...” Mo Wen’s face turned black. This Gu Jingman was causing trouble on purpose! He wasn’t even able to avoid her. Since when did I offend this old hag?
“You’re threatening me again... Alright, let’s just say that I don’t know anything then.” Gu Jingman looked as though she had been wronged. She lowered her head slightly and pouted.
The corners of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched a little and he felt completely helpless. It was obvious that Gu Jingman had come over with the intention to cause trouble.
“Do you know our Mo Wen?” Shen Jing smiled and said.
In reality, she knew Gu Jingman, but had asked this on purpose. Previously, in the hotel in Charm City, she had met Gu Jingman once before. At that time, Gu Jingman had said that she was Mo Wen’s older sister, but she had not believed it.
“Oh, I don’t just know him...” Gu Jingman let out a slow breath, then her gaze shifted gradually onto Mo Wen and made things look as though they were not all that simple. It was as though she wanted to say something else, but was a little shy and a little bitter, or too embarrassed to voice it.
Mo Wen cursed internally. What is with her expression? It was as though he had seduced her, then given up on her, almost as though he had abandoned her! This Gu Jingman had definitely come to stir up trouble!
He did not know what else to do with her, as he could not possibly do exactly as he did the last time. After all, Shen Jing was by his side this time, so he would not dare be so unrestrained...
“Our Mo Wen really has good relations with many people. He even knows such a beautiful and elegant lady. I am proud of him.” Shen Jing maintained her smile as she spoke, as if she had not even seen Gu Jingman’s bold expression. She continued to take things lightly and established herself as the lady of Mo Wen’s household with her confident tone.
“He does have good relations, with women especially...” Gu Jingman smiled and looked at Shen Jing, a little surprised by her boldness and confidence.
“My name is Gu Jingman, and I am Mo Wen’s older sister. Nice to make your acquaintance.” Gu Jingman took the initiative to extend her hand, shaking Shen Jing’s hand as though she was being very magnanimous.
Shen Jing smiled serenely and did not show any signs of surprise. However, she did not believe Gu Jingman was Mo Wen’s sister. It was more probable that this woman called Gu Jingman had other relations with Mo Wen. She could even be her love rival!
“I am Shen Jing, Mo Wen’s... Girlfriend.” Shen Jing smiled magnanimously.
She had officially admitted her identity honestly in front of Gu Jingman. She glanced over at Mo Wen, a helpless look flashing through her eyes. She had actually started to see Mo Wen as her man unknowingly, thus leading her to claim the position as his woman.
“You are very lucky.” Gu Jingman nodded her head slightly.
“Thank you!” Shen Jing smiled slightly to express her gratitude, even though she did not know why Gu Jingman would have said that.
“Mo Wen, I’ll come find you later. I don’t want to interrupt your blissful time with your wife any longer.” Gu Jingman raised her eyebrows and looked over at Mo Wen. Then, she stood up elegantly, lifted her chin a little, and walked away with her hips swaying seductively.
“She is a woman with a very elegant aura,” Shen Jing said, while watching Gu Jingman sashay away.
“You’re not too bad yourself,” Mo Wen said, flattering her.
“What’s her relationship with you?” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen.
“She’s my older sister. Didn’t she say so just now?” Mo Wen blinked his eyes.
