Jaden Yan was taken aback and quickly jumped away, looking at Luna Zhou awkwardly.
He hadn't expected her to take his joke literally. If Luna Zhou had grabbed his sensitive area, would she have really intended to "eat" it?
"Why are you running? Didn't you say you wanted me to eat your cock?"
Luna Zhou gave a charming smile, her tear-streaked face adding a unique allure.
"Uh... I was just joking to lighten your mood. I meant I would make you some soup..."
Jaden Yan explained sheepishly and hurried into the kitchen.
Luna Zhou smiled gently, feeling much better after teasing him.
Before long, Jaden Yan brought out a fragrant bowl of chicken soup. Luna Zhou, who was hungry, quickly finished the delicious-looking food.
"How was it? Are you full? If not, you'll have to order takeout since there's not much left at home. It's getting late, and I need to go."
Jaden Yan asked after Luna Zhou finished eating.
"Thank you... But you haven't eaten anything, have you?"
Luna Zhou nodded and then realized the issue.
"It's fine, I'm not hungry. I'll grab something later. Rest well and start planning what I told you."
Jaden Yan shook his head, gave a final reminder, and left Luna Zhou's house.
It was already past nine in the evening. Taking a deep breath, he realized he had lost a lot of work time, meaning less money earned.
He tried calling Sherry to see if she was home, but there was no answer. After eating a bowl of noodles by the roadside, he resumed taking delivery orders to earn some money, as he needed it urgently.
After working for a while, Jaden Yan returned home exhausted. Sherry came back later, smelling of alcohol.
"Why are you back so late? Did you drink?" Jaden Yan frowned slightly. He knew Sherry had to drink for social engagements, but he didn't like it.
Pretty girls who drink too much can easily be taken advantage of by ill-intentioned men.
Sherry was beautiful, and Jaden Yan worried about others coveting her.
"Don't worry, I just had a few drinks with some colleagues and clients."
Sherry reassured him with a smile, knowing his concerns.
"That's good. Try not to drink if you can. There are too many stories online about women being drugged." Jaden Yan advised.
"I know, but I couldn't refuse today. It was a big client, and securing the deal means a good commission. Also, I have to go on a business trip for a few days. Take care of yourself while I'm gone, and don't skip meals!"
Sherry hugged Jaden Yan and informed him, though he didn't notice the bitterness in her eyes.
"A business trip? Okay, don't overwork yourself. Have you packed? We should rest early since you need to get up early."
Jaden Yan patted her back, and they went to bed after washing up.
The next day, after seeing Sherry off, Jaden Yan called Luna Zhou to check on her.
She seemed to have recovered, but he was more concerned about whether Jenny Ye would go to the coffee shop in the morning.
It wasn't until the afternoon that he received news that Jenny Ye's coffee time hadn't changed.
This made Jaden Yan frown slightly, realizing the third part of the plan was necessary.
After discussing on the phone, Luna Zhou confirmed the plan.
The next day, they arranged for Jenny Ye to win a trip to a well-known resort on the outskirts of the city.
The resort was famous and usually required reservations. The tickets were expensive, attracting only the wealthy. The ticket covered all expenses unless there was excessive spending.
Such tickets were a big temptation for both ordinary people and the rich.
Coincidentally, Luna Zhou's husband was going on a business trip, and Jenny Ye had free time. With Sherry away, Jaden Yan also had free time to set up the plan.
Though it was called the outskirts, the resort was several dozen kilometers from the city.
Jenny Ye didn't have a car, and under Luna Zhou's arrangement, she took a taxi.
However, the driver demanded extra money, and when Jenny Ye refused, she was left on the roadside.
Jaden Yan, driving a Mercedes, followed the taxi from a distance.
Luna Zhou, sitting in the passenger seat, received a call and instructed, "Stop the car. That woman has been left on the roadside."
"Okay, what about you? How will you get back?" Jaden Yan asked with concern after stopping the car.
"Don't worry, the taxi driver is my person. He'll take me back. Here's a credit card. Use it if you need to spend money at the resort."
Luna Zhou handed him a credit card, having prepared two spots for the trip. She wanted to go but couldn't get a ticket.
"You've really gone to great lengths. This must have cost a lot."
Jaden Yan looked at the credit card, noting the password written on the back.
"As long as I can get my husband back, I'll pay anything!" Luna Zhou's determination was clear.
"Alright, I'll do my best! Wait for my good news!" Jaden Yan gave her a confident smile, watched her get into the taxi, and then drove on.
Soon, he found Jenny Ye standing by the roadside, frowning.
The Mercedes stopped beside her, and Jaden Yan rolled down the window, removing his sunglasses with a playful smile, "What a coincidence! What are you doing here?"
"It's you? Where are you going?" Jenny Ye recognized him and asked excitedly.
"To Xuhai Resort. Why are you alone on the roadside? Trouble?" Jaden Yan asked knowingly, acting well.
"You're going to Xuhai Resort too? What a coincidence. I was left here by a rogue driver. Could you..." Jenny Ye hesitated, looking at him expectantly.
"Looks like we're headed the same way. If you don't mind, hop in." Jaden Yan gestured for her to get in.
He was secretly pleased, as everything was going according to plan.
