Chapter 27 - Playing with fire

The meeting with the foreign investor began an hour later. All the representatives of the concerned department were present. A person was giving a presentation while Zuni was in charge of doing the translation work. Her words were fluent and her accent understandable. Although she did a great job, the ones to get all the praise were other secretaries, not that she felt about. 

After the little fiasco, the other co-workers began distancing themselves from her. She didn't care about others. But it was her husband's attitude that vexed her. He even patted Liu Jingjing's shoulder in praise but he couldn't muster up a single word to say to her. It was her first time working and there was no appreciation or even good luck for her. She was a sensitive baby yet he didn't think about her. 

If her dad was here and had seen her doing such a good job, he would have given a bonus to everyone. Her dad was the kind of man who would celebrate everything about his children. Yep, her dad was a sucker for his children. 

After working for more than seven hours on the first day of office, Zuni was drained. Her head was throbbing, her legs aching and hands exhausted. 

She needed her Baobei's hugs, kisses and cuddles to recharge. At this point, she would even take hugs, kisses and cuddles from her husband in payment for her work. 

But then she recalled how she was angry with him. There wasn't going to be anything loving between him and her at all. 

As she got out of the office building, she saw Amanda standing there. 

"Come on, I will treat you to dinner, " Amanda said as she dragged Zuni with her.

Song Jingren was looking at the ticking clock on the wall and his gaze was fixed on the door. He had been sitting in the same posture for an hour. He had cooked dinner after coming from the office. He didn't know why but he felt a little guilty in his heart and it might be the reason why he made all the vegetarian dishes. 

When the door to his penthouse opened, he quickly opened the magazine placed on the table and feigned as if he wasn't waiting for a certain someone for almost an hour. 

Zuni marched into the penthouse like a storm and walked straight to the bedroom without looking here and there. After throwing her handbag on the bed, she removed her heels and tossed them somewhere and angrily marched to the bathroom. 

"I wouldn't be Long Reine if I talked to him ever again, "Zuni swore to herself. "Zuni, don't look at his ridiculously handsome face and you will be fine. Be immune to his godly looks. Don't think about the black card! Remember if you beg your mom and rub your nose on the ground while swallowing your non-existent pride, she will return your cards." 

She had an extremely long bath much to someone's concern. She was chanting the same mantra while bathing. 

Currently, Song Jingren was standing outside the bathroom door, thinking if he should knock or not. What was he guilty about? Hmph! He did nothing wrong!

Therefore,  in an attitude, he walked to his bed and laid in the middle leaving no place for her. If someone wanted to sleep, she must talk to him first. 

When Zuni came out of the bathroom in his oversized bathrobe, her cooled-off anger burned again. Her green eyes were burning with lava. How dare he claim all the bed by himself! Just how dare her. She laid next to him and seeing how he was not giving her more space, she began tickling his sensitive spots. 

"Don't do this, " Song Jingren laughed and squirmed as she didn't stop tickling him. "You know I'm highly ticklish. If you want revenge, look for another way. Damn, Zuni…I'm dying!"

However, she didn't stop tickling him. With the devilish grin on her face, she kept her tickle game on. One time came, when he caged her in his legs and flipped their bodies. Now was was beneath him while he was over her. 

"You asshole! Don't you dare touch my waist Ahhhhhh!" It wasn't only Zuni Long who knew to tickle but he was well versed in this art too. Her waist area was highly sensitive and he knew about it.

"Wifey, how could you upgrade me from Hubby to asshole, "Song Jingren said in a seductive tone as he stopped tickling her for a moment and breathed in her ear. Apart from her waist, her neck and ear area was highly sensitive. As he blew hot air on her ear, she shuddered underneath him. 

"Don't play with fire, Song Jingren, " Zuni threatened him. "You will not be able to handle the flames."
