Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 280 - 279: She opens her heart to him

Qin Zhuzhu quickly dashed and held him up, supporting him with her small frame.

"What’s wrong? Are you okay?" She felt for his forehead with a concern expression. It wasn’t hot.

"Nothing. I’m just tired, Little Pearl," he sighed. Looking at her felt like a relief. It would have felt off but she felt a warm feeling in her chest, seeing him come home.

Qin Zhuzhu noticed that he was clutching a sword by his side. When he saw that her eyes were looking at the sword, he quickly retracted the blade and put it aside, afraid that he might frighten her.

But instead she laughed softly. "I know. I won’t ask you what you were doing. I...I want to learn to trust you," her words surprised him.

Shentu Jing stared at her, his peach blossom eyes held an incomprehensible glint in them.

Suddenly he enveloped her in a tight hug, pulling her close to his chest.

"One day, I promise that I’ll tell you everything," he said softly, his warm breath tickling her ear. He didn’t expect her to be understanding and patient.

She snuggled in his arms. "I’ll wait for you,"

After thirty minutes, Qin Zhuzhu broke the hug. She looked up into his eyes, her hand reached out and gently brushed his cheek.

"Okay, I think it’s late. I need to go to sleep and get ready for tomorrow. I’ll be going to Paris soon. If you don’t mind.... then let’s sleep t...together?" She felt that her words were a little ambiguous and easy to misunderstand.

Qin Zhuzhu quickly corrected herself, chuckling, "Heh heh heh, I meant no funny things in bed. Just a good night sleep. You are still having trouble sleeping?"

"Hmm...."

"If you don’t want to, then never mind. I’m not forcing you. I just thought that it might help you with your insomnia and that’s all..." Qin Zhuzhu blabbered away nervously.

Shentu Jing pinched her chin and made her look him in the eyes again.

"I accept. But I...."

"But what?"

"I need to bath first," he gave her a warm smile.

"Okay," Qin Zhuzhu didn’t realize that she had been holding her breath when she made that suggestion.

With her saying this, it was like giving the green light for him to chase her, to love her openly. Did that mean that she accepted him, his proposal?

As Shentu Jing stared at her back confusingly, Qin Zhuzhu had a smile over her face.

Soon after he had taken his bath, the two of them laid down on the bed together. Qin Zhuzhu was feeling very anxious and nervous. She wasn’t used to it anymore.

But Shentu Jing was exploding with happiness inside. He laid on his side and wrapped his arms around her like a bolster.

"Hey! I said no funny-"

"Shhhh.... I’m tired. Let me sleep, Little Pearl," Shentu Jing’s eyes were closed peacefully, he rested his chin on her head, his strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her closer into his warm embrace.

At first, she felt extremely nervous and overwhelmed. But after some time, she started to feel warm and safe. His presence always gave her something that no one have given; a sense of security.

Maybe she shouldn’t be so strict on herself. Maybe she should tear down that remaining barriers and walk into a relationship again. Maybe, just maybe she should..... kiss him?

She lifted her eyes and the thing that came into view was the man’s pink lips.

The next day, everyone was chatting excitedly and cheerfully. They were going to Paris in a few days time. Everyone was preparing themselves. They had to bring victory and pride to China!

As usual, the delivery man came with meals. This time it was from another 5 star restaurant. Qin Zhuzhu wondered how Shentu Jing could afford all of these without even going to work.

Sanya shook hands with Li Shao, coming out of his office.

"Looking forward to your cooperation," Li Shao said.

"Looking forward to our victory," Sanya smiled..

Qin Zhuzhu was surprised greatly. This Sanya usually acts like a gangster and a hoodlum. Why was she suddenly acting professional and business-like?

Bai Qianhua watched Sanya with disgust.

From now on, Bai Qianhua will have to see Sanya’s face everyday. She wasn’t pleased that Sanya was coming along with them.

What’s worst was that Sanya’s rank was higher than hers! How is that possible? Did she go through the back door?

Bai Qianhua sneered in her heart. She was thinking of spreading some rumours to destroy when Li Shao’s secretary came out and announced.

"Miss Sanya here is a skilled fashion designer from another company. She will be going with us, cooperating with us for the competition in Paris,"

Everyone was shocked! Sanya, apart from being a gangster had such a background?

"I thought you were poor!" Qin Zhuzhu said when Sanya strode towards her.

"I am poor, of course!" Sanya snorted casually. "Poor because I used up all my money to study and pay back all my student loans!"

"No wonder! I thought your uncle was a small company," she playfully punched her.

"I was just being humble. At first, I only worked there to help him out. I wanted to have some fun but I was too broke. Secondly, my parents are stressing me out!" Sanya pulled at her hair.

"Really? Why do I feel that you have an ulterior motive?" Qin Zhuzhu eyed her suspiciously.

"What suspicious motives could I have?"

"For example, running away from Shentu Mingye,"

"What? That dumb kitten?! Hah! No way!" Sanya waved it off with a laugh.

"Really?"

"Why do you ask that so many times?" Sanya casually said.

"I’m suspicious," Qin Zhuzhu led her to the café where the delivery man had left her takeaway.

"Damn! He treats you so well! I want to have a boyfriend as good as yours!" Sanya’s eyes widened when she saw the 5 star restaurant’s logo on the bags.

"Don’t you have one?" Qin Zhuzhu thrusted her chin at the entrance of the café.

Sanya’s eyes travelled up to meet a familiar gaze. He waved at her, holding a broken piece of a miniature drone.
