" I don't want you to take on any perfume endorsement can you do that for me please?" Shen Mucheng asked once they got on the main road. He knew that right now, he was sounding rude but he didn't know how else to communicate his request to her.
He also knew that she wasn't exactly obliged to accede to his request after all, they only became friends because he saved her once and she had wanted to repay him with her body and he had refused which eventually made them even but he couldn't control himself.
To her, what he asked and his recent actions put together might have both sounded and seemed ironic because he had himself rejected the idea of being a couple with her but he himself knew deep down how much he longed to have her in his arms.
How much he wanted to lock her up from the world so that there wouldn't be others like Chang Mingkai lusting after her.
He wanted to keep her for himself and by his side twenty four hours a day and seven days a week.
He only knew how much he had been trying to distance himself from the underworld ever since he met her.
He had longed for revenge for two years but since meeting her, he was ready to forsake that idea in order to be with her.
But even if he was trying to separate himself from the underworld, and even though he had never used his authority and gone against his conscience, it didn't change the fact that he had enemies lurking around in dark corners waiting for an opportunity to strike.
No matter how he looked at it, entering into a relationship with her, can only bring her tears and heartache.
If he even decided to brave the storms to be with her, what guarantee did he have that she wouldn't separate herself from him if she learned of his involvement in the underworld?
The best solution was to stay by her side even though it was just as a common friend.
"Huh..? I don't understand. " Mo Ning said with a puzzled expression. Why would he not want her to take on any perfume endorsement?
" Sorry if I sounded rude. I own a company that manufactures perfumes and I am on the middle of completing a perfume. What I mean is that I want you to endorse it so that's why I said you shouldn't take in any endorsements involving perfumes."
"Oh... Now I get. What's the name of your company? " She asked leaning towards the drivers seat with her elbow on her lap and her palm in a fist supporting her chin.
" That's a first. " Shen Mucheng said with a hum. He sounded surprised.
" What's a first? Cut the crap and speak in a language I understand. " Mo Ning said sounding slightly irritated.
What would it take him to just say what he wanted to say at a go without making her guess what he was talking about?
