Chapter 188: Marrying A Rich Lady (21)

And he was not allowed to violate his character setting.

What's more, there was someone that kept finding trouble with him.

How do I survive?

"Right." Ming Shu nodded her head. "That is your responsibility. If you don't send me home, I will have to break up with you and we can talk about how you are so inhumane that you don't even let your sister off."

Qin Che gritted his teeth. "Okay, fine."

Ming Shu sighed in her heart. Why is he still not angry?

I'm so angry!

So angry that I want to hit someone.

I can't do this mission anymore.

...

Shen Yuanzhao looked at the short message that was ridiculing him as well as laughing at his misfortune. He could feel his blood pressure rising.

Sender: Ruan Li.

Message: Boss Shen, I have helped you get on the headlines. Please don't thank me.

The headline today should have been about her and Qin Che. Now, the main characters were changed to him and Nan Youyou.

And it was such an awkward predicament.

Shen Yuanzhao called Secretary Zhou and immediately asked him, "What happened to the news?"

"Boss Shen, Qin Che seemed to have put his men in every single big newspaper office. When I received the information about the news, it was already changed," Secretary Zhou explained, soaked in cold sweat.

How would he know that Qin Che had insiders within the various big newspaper offices and their positions were all quite high?

"Control it!" Shen Yuanzhao squeezed the words out.

"Okay, Boss."

The call was cut off and Shen Yuanzhao held his cellphone in silence.

That glass of wine that day...

Shen Yuanzhao rubbed his brow. He looked in the direction of the bathroom. He could see a graceful figure through the translucent glass.

Ka—

The door of the bathroom opened and a girl walked out from within the steam. There were love marks on her soft skin and the girl lowered her head slightly, her face blushing.

"I... I will go back first." Nan Youyou purposely lowered her volume as though she were afraid that Shen Yuanzhao would be angry.

Seeing that she didn't throw a tantrum, the suspicion in Shen Yuanzhao's heart dissipated a little.

"You You."

The girl stopped in her track and said, "We can just pretend that nothing had happened. I know that you don't like me. I also know that my love for you was always one-sided, so... Thanks, Boss Shen, for giving me this memory. I will go overseas immediately and not appear before you again."

Nan Youyou was very nervous after she finished her sentence. If Shen Yuanzhao didn't follow her plan, there would be no way she could make a comeback.

Shen Yuanzhao was stunned. He thought that she would ask him to be responsible...

Was he thinking too much?

Shen Yuanzhao's heart was filled with many thoughts.

"Boss Shen, I shall leave now." Nan Youyou didn't hear Shen Yuanzhao reply and had no choice but to say something.

Shen Yuanzhao woke up from his thoughts and ran to hug Nan Youyou. "What nonsense are you saying? How can we pretend that nothing happened? You You, will you be my girlfriend?"

Nan Youyou heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. However, she replied to him with a hint of difficulty, "You don't have to do this because of what happened... My... first time was kept for you. I... agreed to this."

"I like you, You You." Shen Yuanzhao felt like he was in a trance when he said this, as though... something had changed. However, he was unable to catch it.

"Boss Shen..."

Shen Yuanzhao pushed down the strange feeling in his heart and caressed Nan Youyou's head. "So, will you be my girlfriend?"

"I..."

Nan Youyou was dying to agree but she couldn't. She couldn't display any signs of happiness and must appear hesitant, but at the same time still let Shen Yuanzhao see that she liked him.

Shen Yuanzhao looked at Nan Youyou's expression and his heart skipped a bit. He leaned forward and kissed her.

Nan Youyou panted as she leaned against his chest and replied softly, "I do."

Shen Yuanzhao comforted Nan Youyou for a while. Nan Youyou carefully asked, "Boss Shen..."

"Why are you still calling me your boss?"

Nan Youyou smiled awkwardly. It had been a while since she addressed him in any other way. "Brother Shen, the news... Who did it?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Danger flashed in his eyes.

"I want to know." She had guessed who it was but wanted confirmation.

Shen Yuanzhao looked at her. "Ruan Li and Qin Che."

It was her.

The glass of wine last night was meant for her, but in the end, it helped her achieve her goal.

But would Shen Yuanzhao suspect her of drugging the wine?

"Yesterday night, did Ruan Li do it on purpose?" Nan Youyou looked frightened and pushed the blame on Ming Shu.

Shen Yuanzhao hated people who lied to him.

She finally managed to get him. She couldn't afford to be suspected by him.

Shen Yuanzhao frowned and had some other thoughts. However, his mind seemed to follow Nan Youyou's words. "Probably. I won't let this matter end like this. Don't worry, I will take revenge for you."
