Shui Jing knew she would forgive him, she just needed some time.
In the name of love, all hurts would slowly heal!
If life were like a play, Guan Longji should dramatically appear, with a head full of frost, travel-worn, just to see his beloved wife for a moment…
Shui Jing softly laughed at her own fantasy.
That clumsy man would never be so romantic!
”If this really happens, I’ll forgive you immediately…” she gently touched her chest and murmured, feeling her heart flutter like a little bird.
However, fantasies are just fantasies, and real life can’t always go as one wishes.
Guan Longji, far away in the capital of the southern island nation, was completely unaware of what he had missed.
Shui Jing returned after traveling for a month, or more precisely, four weeks.
Besides bringing back a good mood, she also brought back the fruitful spoils of her enthusiastic shopping, including cosmetics, limited edition cherry blossom perfume, and scarves for her aunt and Yilin; children’s kimonos and dolls for Zhihui’s kids; a new Sony digital camera for Xiaomei… and countless other miscellaneous items.
As for the big financial backer Guan Longji, he pitifully received only a small Japanese doll paperweight with squinty eyes, which was better than nothing.
But it was obvious that everyone could see Shuijing’s mood had improved significantly, and she was less cold towards Guan Longji.
Although the sky in Taipei was overcast and the temperature was gradually dropping, the gloom on Guan Longji’s face was also gradually disappearing, slowly revealing a calm and peaceful expression.
Shuijing was slowly understanding the ways in which his life differed from that of ordinary people.
From childhood, he had no interactions with peers, was accustomed to traveling between international cities and negotiating with adults, his life was about numbers and statistics, meetings and reports, and his words were instructions and commands.
In the Guan family enterprise, he was the emperor.
From a leader’s perspective, having received “imperial education” from childhood, he was a successful ruler; but from a “human” perspective, his personality development was far from satisfactory!
Once, Shuijing couldn’t help but question him about that disgusting memory of attempted rape.
The humiliation of being “bought” with money, villas, and jewelry, and the nauseating feeling of bodily violation, had always been a knot of resentment in her heart.
Guan Longji’s response almost made her curse out loud.
“I… asked Tang Assistant, what do women like?” Guan Longji said with a confused expression: “He said diamonds, houses…”
So he gave villas and jewelry.
“I didn’t mean to humiliate you, really!”
Regarding women, he had little common sense. Those models and actresses who came automatically all had a price tag. Giving flowers was not as good as giving jewelry, and giving jewelry was not as good as giving a mansion…
Pleasing women was about material conditions!
Not knowing what kind of person the boss wanted to pursue, Tang Assistant gave a typical answer.
As a result—
The deeply humiliated Fang Shuijing turned to leave in anger, which made Guan Longji, who had never pursued a woman before, panic. The impulse to kiss and embrace her was like a fever that couldn’t be controlled, which was met with her more intense resistance, and then the accident of falling into the sea.
“…” Taking a deep breath, Shuijing felt her forehead might be bulging with veins, “I guess no one told you that when a woman says no, it means no. Forcing yourself against her will is rape!”
Guan Longji nodded, rarely showing an ashamed expression, sitting upright like a schoolboy being lectured by a teacher.
Xiangzhi, “Marrying the CEO Carefully”
Chapter 10: Damn It!
Shuijing sighed, she was really pregnant!
Calculating, her menstrual period was already more than a month late. With an ominous feeling, she took a pregnancy test and indeed got a positive result.
Alas! Bad deeds indeed cannot be done!
Glaring at her husband who had been living separately for six months, Shuijing was full of regret. She shouldn’t have been soft-hearted. Now, how many people would be laughing at her!
Why was the sick person still so full of vitality?
She had clearly said it was a “probationary period of observation”! Now her belly was growing, wasn’t she contradicting herself? Shuijing was full of regret.
She could only go with the flow!
As the CEO’s wife’s secretary, Lin Ziwei’s reputation in the Guan enterprise had greatly increased. Besides being able to sit on equal footing with senior executives, she also had the advantage of flexible work hours – because she often ran to the Guan residence to maintain contact with the reclusive wife.
Regarding the separated state of the CEO couple, she knew more than others and began to have more expectations.
In terms of appearance, she thought she was not inferior to Shuijing.
In terms of talent, she handled the wife’s charitable work efficiently and skillfully, while Shuijing was just a nominal figure!
In terms of family background, Shuijing was an orphan, while her father was a small enterprise owner, and her mother, though a housewife, came from a doctor’s family. Her background was much better than Shuijing’s!
If it came to being gentle and considerate, the memory-recovered Shuijing never gave her husband a good look.
If she were the CEO’s wife, she would be a virtuous helper in both public and private matters! Lin Ziwei thought.
That elegant, sophisticated upper-class society had been her dream since childhood.
So expectation turned into greed. Lin Ziwei diligently shuttled between the separated CEO couple, acting as a messenger.
Seizing the opportunity, she felt no guilt.
After all, the cracks in the CEO couple’s marriage were their problem, had nothing to do with her, and her actions didn’t count as being a home-wrecker.
Compared to those foxes who deliberately tried to steal someone’s husband, she was just picking up what Shuijing didn’t want, just like those LV bags and Chanel dresses…
At ten in the morning, Lin Ziwei reported the foundation’s operational matters to Shuijing, mentioning the computer update project.
Shuijing looked tired and seemed not to be listening carefully.
After the report, as usual, Shuijing would sign her approval.
“Wait…” The nauseous Shuijing drank some hot tea and stopped writing, asking: “What about the old computers after the update?”
Lin Ziwei was stunned. “Oh… they should be sent for recycling?”
“Recycling is not good…” Shuijing frowned, “I recently saw that primary school children in remote mountain areas don’t have computers to use… well… please ask the PR department to help… sort them out and send them to those schools!”
More than a month had passed since her return from Japan, and she was beginning to show signs of morning sickness.
Miss Fang, are you feeling unwell?” Lin Ziwei asked cautiously.
“It’s nothing…” Shui Jing picked up a candied plum and put it in her mouth, “I’m just pregnant.”
Lin Ziwei’s mouth gaped open, wanting to question: Is the child the CEO’s? Thinking better of it, she quickly changed her approach and asked: “Does the CEO know?”
“Of course… ugh, no!” Shui Jing was dizzy and disoriented, not noticing Lin Ziwei’s strange expression.
Calculating the dates, the child in Fang Shui Jing’s belly was most likely conceived during the trip to Japan, where there were many temptations for infidelity.
Lin Ziwei decided to report the matter.
“CEO, these words… I really don’t know if I should say this, but… I don’t want to see you being kept in the dark and ridiculed… and from Miss Fang’s tone, it seems she wants to continue hiding this from you…”
She urgently reported Shui Jing’s pregnancy to Guan Longji.
