"No. Judging from your character, I don't think you are complimenting me at all. Tell me, what do you mean? Or I will borrow Daisy's revolver and I'm tempted to use it. I'd like to see how you're going to flirt with the girls at that time with a hole in you."
Who was Belinda Shangguan? She was the dragon lady in the business field. If she didn't have any real talent, how could she manage YS group so well? After she took over the group, it did not lose money. Instead, earnings soared to a new peak. An ordinary person could hardly make it. So it was almost impossible that she could be tricked.
"Shoot! Don't be too harsh on me! I'm telling the truth! Why do people doubt the truth nowadays? Is everyone suffering from persecution mania? Don't lose the most wonderful thing called trust even in this terrible world. Oh, what's more, I don't flirt with the girls. Instead, they flirt with me, okay?"
Rain tucked his neck in, hunched his shoulders, trying to protect himself, as if she was really going to shoot him soon. He knew well that this woman was prone to violence. He still remembered that she even slapped Duke, the cold man, in the face once. He knew she was definitely not a simple woman. He concluded he had to keep a safe distance from her to avoid being disfigured. She could slap hard! Hell, look at Daisy's swollen face. It was going to take a long time before the red mark disappeared.
"Go to hell. Don't try to find any fucking excuses. The better the words you use with me, the more likely you're cursing me in your mind. I even don't need to ask anyone else. I can tell it from your undisguised face." Belinda shot a fierce stare at Rain. She looked so arrogant that people dare not look straight into her beautiful eyes.
"Watch your language." Duke cautioned, frowning unconsciously. He didn't like her cursing, nor could he understand why they always ended up in a quarrel every time they talked.
Belinda moved her lips a little, trying to retort. Finally, she did not say anything. Recently, because of Rachel, she always felt there was something between Duke and her, stopping them from walking into the depths of each other's hearts. Sometimes she thought it was actually not bad. She would not get hurt badly if she didn't enter his heart! She didn't want to hold a wedding ceremony quickly before she figured out what was going on between Rachel and him. So she postponed their wedding on the grounds of her busy work schedule.
"People always say that a girl is just like a scorpion. It seems to be true. You always get touchy and threaten to kill somebody." Rain complained and then said to Duke, "Mr. Cold, stop your wife from saying these things, please." Rain didn't know what went wrong between them and continued teasing Belinda. He didn't feel the weird atmosphere between them at all.
What she said pretty much jibes with what I think. Why should I stop her?" Duke was annoyed these days too. He didn't know why Belinda was getting so confrontational these days. Consciously or not, she always avoided his touch. She even didn't answer his phone sometimes and she had various excuses. What's more, she even changed the wedding date and cancelled the reservation at the church without informing him.
Fine! He could stand all of these things silently. He kept telling himself that she was already his wife legally and she could do whatever she wanted! It's not like she needed protecting 24/7. Anyway, it was just a matter of time until they held the marriage ceremony. He didn't worry that she might escape. But he didn't expect her to adjust her working hours to avoid meeting him. That was why he couldn't pick her up after work. If they weren't coming to the hospital today, probably she might have hidden herself from him and run away as early as she could!
Shoot! What a heartless couple." Rain finally understood that even the stone cold Dukes of the world would yield to their Mrs. Rights. It was too amazing! Then what kind of things were impossible in this world? So he came to a conclusion that Annie would suddenly walk into his life someday!
Wow, so many people here. Did my Mr. Mu wake up?" As a childish voice sounded, a short figure scampered into everyone's view. It was Justin. He grew excited at the sight of Edward looking at him with his blue eyes. He couldn't help trying to climb onto the bed to lunge at him. Luckily, Daisy was eagle-eyed. She hugged Justin to stop him immediately. Otherwise, the stitches in Edward's wound would definitely break because of Justin's carelessness, and poor Edward would need his stitches redone.
Justin, what are you doing? Don't you know Daddy got hurt and is still weak now?" Daisy went pale. If she didn't grab Justin immediately, Edward's wounds might re-open. In that case, no one knew what might happen, what kind of complications they'd see. For the last twenty hours, she'd seen too many accidents to stay calm, despite the fact that she was a soldier. So her tone was harsher than usual.
Sorry, Mommy. I got thrilled seeing daddy awake. That's why I made a terrible mistake just now. Don't get mad at me, okay? Justin bit his lip. As a matter of fact, he felt quite sad due to his mommy's shouting. But he knew he was indeed wrong. So he held it in and didn't cry. Instead, he lowered his head and kept apologising to Daisy.
