Chereads / My Gorgeous Lady Boss / Chapter 21 - What is it?

Chapter 21 - What is it?

Jenny could feel Jaden's hands move, and a small smile curved at the corner of her mouth. She was quite satisfied with his reaction.

As expected, men always pretend to be serious - just a little temptation, and they can't handle it.

However, Jenny didn't get to gloat for long, as she suddenly froze.

Jaden's hand had slid onto her butt, but instead of doing anything inappropriate, he adjusted her skirt to cover up the part that was exposed earlier.

Jenny glanced left and right, surprised by Jaden's reaction.

Reflecting on his previous behavior, could it be that this guy was actually a very self-disciplined man?

Her surprise only deepened, and she found herself more intrigued by him.

Jaden, holding his breath, after adjusting her skirt, obediently continued giving her a stretching massage.

Honestly, he wasn't particularly skilled at this. He had only learned it from searching online when Sherry had been feeling unwell.

Given his situation over the past few years, the number of times he'd received a massage could probably be counted on one hand.

"All done, the massage is finished. Can we consider what happened earlier settled?" Jaden asked.

"Still thinking about it? Well, your technique is pretty basic, but I can't expect too much, can I? At least you're the type of man who should enjoy a massage." Jenny smiled as she sat up, not even bothering to adjust the part of her clothes that had slipped down, revealing a hint of her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm not great at it. Is there anything else?" Jaden nodded.

"Well... it's nothing," Jenny tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Then, it's getting late, and we're alone in this room. It's probably not good for your reputation if this gets out, right?" Jaden was subtly signaling that he wanted to end the conversation.

"Heh, but there's no one here who would care. Why are you so worried? Don't you like being with me? Are you afraid of me?" Jenny laughed lightly, covering her mouth with a playful expression.

"It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's that I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. You're too attractive, being with you requires a lot of self-discipline!" Jaden answered seriously.

"You really know how to talk. But it seems like either I'm not pretty enough for you, or you're just too strong-willed. We've been together for quite a while, and you still haven't done anything to me." Jenny blinked at him.

"Heh, you're like a little rabbit wearing wolf's skin, entering the wolf's den. Or are you actually a tiger pretending to be a kitten?" Jaden laughed, saying something that seemed to carry a different meaning.

Jenny froze for a moment, and after processing what he meant, she smiled again. "You can say whatever you want. But what I am depends on what you are."

After finishing her words, Jenny stood up from the sofa, tidied her clothes, and walked toward the door. "Alright, let's call it a night. How about tomorrow we go explore the resort together?"

"Delighted," Jaden slightly bowed, offering a gentlemanly gesture, then walked over to the door to open it for her.

Jenny smiled, gave him one last look, and walked back to her room next door.

Once the door closed behind her, Jaden let out a deep sigh of relief.

Constantly thinking about how to handle Jenny had put a lot of pressure on him. He was afraid that one wrong move would reveal some clue.

After the emotional ups and downs, and a long day of running around, Jaden was exhausted. He lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Later that night, Luna Zhou, after speaking with Jaden on the phone, couldn't fall asleep.

She paced back and forth in her room, as if making some kind of decision.

Her phone's screen alternated between dialing Jaden's number and then switching back to her husband Henry Lin's contact.

She recalled Jaden's earlier advice to hold off on taking any drastic action, but in her mind, his being close to Jenny at the resort seemed like the perfect opportunity. She thought maybe she should contact Henry Lin and catch them in the act.

After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't come up with a better plan. Hesitating for a long time, she finally took out a phone card and sent Henry Lin a message: "Your wife is fooling around with another man at the Xuhai Resort. You should pay attention."

She spent quite a while coming up with that message.

Luna Zhou didn't want to reveal her involvement but was afraid Henry Lin might notice some traces and connect the dots.

After sending the message, she quickly turned off her phone, took out the SIM card, and flushed it down the toilet.

She didn't know if this would interfere with Jaden's plan, but she felt it was worth a gamble.

Though Jaden had made a good impression on her, they hadn't known each other long enough for her to fully trust him.

Luna Zhou, always cautious, worried that Jaden might find some excuse to delay or even use some trick to extort money from her.

As she thought about this, she quickly checked the credit card bill she had given Jaden. There seemed to be only a few hundred yuan worth of expenses so far.

Seeing this, Luna Zhou frowned slightly. It wasn't that she thought Jaden was spending too much. On the contrary, she was surprised that he had only spent a few hundred at the resort. Was he really that frugal? Didn't he spend any money to please Jenny?

As she reflected on her earlier interactions with Jaden, Luna Zhou suddenly wondered if she had been too suspicious. Had she rushed into sending that message to Henry Lin and potentially ruined Jaden's plans?

She had originally intended to give Jaden a heads-up, but after some thought, she decided against it.

Whether it worked or not, she was going to take a chance. If it caused Jaden trouble, she could always compensate him later.

Relaxing her mind, Luna Zhou didn't think too much more about it and returned to her room to sleep.

However, the next morning, she was awakened by the urgent ringing of her phone. Looking at the screen, she saw that it was her husband Henry Lin calling: "Hello, Henry, so early? Is something wrong? Aren't you on a business trip? You should rest more."

Luna Zhou quickly said what she wanted to, worried that once Henry Lin spoke, she wouldn't have the chance to explain herself.

"Are you done? Where are you now?" Henry Lin's voice sounded cold.

"Me? I'm at home, what's wrong?" Luna Zhou replied, confused.

"Open the door! I'm outside!" Henry Lin's voice was full of command.

"You're outside? Henry, you came to see me? Wait, I'll open the door! I… I haven't done my makeup yet… Wait a moment!"

Luna Zhou's eyes filled with surprise as she quickly ran to the door, barefoot and in her disheveled pajamas, not bothering to adjust her appearance.
