Beautiful Wife & Genius Son ✔

Chapter 4

'He was adjusting his clothes too slowly,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I wanted to help him so I can go home earlier.'

Mr Chen opened the door. Yue Gu Zui wrapped an arm around Zhen Zhen and they walked into the Tao Cang hotel. That day Tao Cang was booked exclusively and it added danger to the hotel's atmosphere.

'Go find something to eat in the hotel restaurant,' Yue Gu Zui instructed. 'Don't wander around the hotel.'

Zhen Zhen was annoyed at Yue Gu Zui. But she behaved like a good vase and looked for food to fill her empty stomach. She walked into the hotel restaurant and hundreds of eyes made her too self-conscious to eat so she escaped to the toilet.

Zhen Zhen washed her face, tied hair into a ponytail and felt better after she cursed Yue Gu Zui at least seventeen times.

Zhen Zhen walked out of the toilet. She didn't want to go back to the restaurant and wandered around the hotel. She accidently heard voices in a private room.

'Mr Yue you've obstructed my business,' a man said. 'Considering I know teacher for many years, you should at least give me face in Tao Nan.'

'Mr Tao, teacher had not been involved in business for many years,' Bai Yu Tian said. 'Boss Yue has been in charge for many years.'

Mr Tao understood Bai Yu Tian calling him Mr Tao was giving him enough face.

Yue Gu Zui sat crossed legged on a chair unconcerned.

'I've said whoever buys from Da Tu Li is opposing me,' Yue Gu Zui said.

'You're asking me to stand by and watch you swallow my goods worth a few millions,' Mr Tao said.

Zhen Zhen had trouble breathing. It was tensed inside the private room.

'Mr Tao then it appears I've swallowed your goods worth a few millions,' Yue Gu Zui said.

More than twenty guns were aimed at Yue Gu Zui and Zhen Zhen covered her mouth to stop from screaming.

Mr Tao held a remote. 'If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to release my goods then I'll make the windows in this room opaque and no one will know what happened to you.'

Suddenly Zhen Zhen couldn't see or hear anything from the private room. She couldn't charge into the room and become a shooting target. She searched her bag. Luckily there was a flask filled with chemicals from a failed experiment.

Zhen Zhen picked up a nearby vase, smashed a window and threw the flask into the private room. An explosion was heard and fumes obstructed the gang's vision.

Yue Gu Zui disarmed Mr Tao while Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian pulled out their guns.

Cheng Yi and Bai Yu Tian ran behind Yue Gu Zui. Outside the private room Yue Gu Zui saw Zhen Zhen, he held her hand and they ran to the car.

Mr Chen sped off after his boss' group entered the car.

'Cheng Yi, contact Huyen's group to deal with them,' Yue Gu Zui said coldly.

'Yes boss,' Cheng Yi said.

Yue Gu Zui looked at Zhen Zhen who buried her head in his chest.

'Did they give you a scare?' Yue Gu Zui asked.

Zhen Zhen raised her head and swallowed her saliva. 'A little.'

Yue Gu Zui didn't say anything else to comfort Zhen Zhen. She was annoyed why he didn't thank her for saving his life so she looked out the window.

'A lot of people are lining up in front of the Yue shop,' Zhen Zhen said. 'They sell the best cheese.'

Zhen Zhen rubbed her pitiful stomach. She would need to settle for a bowl of noodles after she arrived home.

'Are you hungry?' Yue Gu Zui asked. 'Do you like eating cheese?'

'Of course but I haven't had an opportunity to go buy cheese from the Yue shop,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen regretted wasting time going to Lan Jin and the Tao Cang hotel without eating anything.

'Mr Chen stop in front of the Yue shop,' Yue Gu Zui said. 'Cheng Yi buy a box of cheese.'

The car stopped and Cheng Yi ran into the shop.

'Why are you skipping the line?' an angry mob asked.

The women in the angry mob were also a little envious. They thought the handsome Cheng Yi risked his life to buy cheese for his lover.

Cheng Yi ignored the angry mob.

'Take the money,' Cheng Yi said to the shop owner. 'It's more than a few days of your revenue. I only want a box of cheese.'

The shop owner looked at the angry mob then he looked at the thick money notes. He would be a fool if he didn't take the money. He smiled and gave a box of cheese to Cheng Yi.

Zhen Zhen happily ate the box of cheese and thought Yue Gu Zui wasn't completely bad.

The car stopped in front of Zhen Zhen's house. She waved goodbye and hoped she wouldn't see Yue Gu Zui again.

Zhen Zhen walked into her home. Zhen Wu was sleeping in his room. She kissed his forehead and walked to her lab. She thought of Yue Gu Zui as a bad dream... she didn't know their fates were permanently tangled.
