Chapter 27 (1)
“Showing Affection”
In the morning I was sitting in front of the mirror, grooming myself when Jiang Li suddenly spoke up: “Pull your hair up.”
Sometimes it’s just impossible to understand his words, “Ah?”
Jiang Li pulled out a small hair clip from the drawer of my dresser and repeated his words: “Pull your hair up.”
Me: “Why?”
Jiang Li holding that small clip in his hand knocked my head and said: “Because it’s important. Now, hurry up or you will be late.”
Obeying his words I pulled up my hair.
Then Jiang Li went behind me and with the small clip in his hand fiercely pinched my neck.
“Ah, it hurts.” I screamed, covering my neck I turned around and glared at him: “What are you doing?”
Jiang Li with an innocent face said: “Showing affection.”
Me: “Showing affection my foot, you are obviously trying to murder me!”
Jiang Li very gravely said: “After passionate love making session there are always lingering traces on the body. You have to show this off today.”
I froze for a moment then I gradually realized the meaning of his words and my face immediately burned scarlet red…….all of you know what it stands for, right?
Jiang Li glanced at my face and in a cynical tone said: “I never imagined you as a shy person.”
Oh God!!! this *** man. I was also a woman, ah!!! And that too a virgin one……I never had one of those so called passionate love making session with anyone in my life.
At this time Jiang Li, after extricating my hands, was prepared to attack my neck once again. Actively defending my neck, I immediately covered it back and was not ready to let it go. So he threatened me:
“If you don’t co-operate then I will bite your neck!”
Well, as compared to being bitten by Jiang Li I chose the less dreadful option and anyways I was not going to die from a small hair clip.
So then, in a silent room a woman’s scream echoed for a long time……..
Once Jiang Li’s abusive job was done I still had some questions for him: “Jiang Li, why didn’t you pinch my neck from the front?”
Jiang Li: “Because you cannot see your back, idiot.”
Oh the script was like this: the back of my neck had obvious “traces of intimacy” which even I wasn’t aware of. Thus like a naïve fool I had pulled up my hair in a bun today and happily went to the office….but if that was the case wouldn’t it be seen by a lot many people? How shameful it would be?
So I put my queries in front of Jiang Li and he very gently replied: “Yeah, don’t tell me you realized it just now?”
I was distraught.
But I still wasn’t finished: “what if I don’t meet Yu Zhi Fei today?”
Jiang Li frankly said: “If so, then we will do it tomorrow also. Sooner or later you will meet him till then we will continue doing it.”
I should just flip the table, what the Hell!!
That morning thanks to Jiang Li’s masterpiece I was almost late for the work. Although I ‘did not’ kno
w about the ‘marks of intimacy’ on my neck but I really wasn’t as good actor as Jiang Li so I stepped inside the building with a guilt-conscious heart and head bowed deeply.
Later in the evening, after work, Jiang Li told me that a deeply bowed head must have made those marks more discernible by increasing their exposure to the public eyes. Hearing his words at that time I sincerely wished to die!!
Right after reaching the office I went straight to Wang Kai’s office to ask for boss’s latest instructions. Wang Kai, at the moment, was leisurely leaning against the sofa and reading a newspaper while holding a toxic cup of coffee in his hands, pretending to drink it.
As his secretary I responsibly reminded him: “Director Wang, today there are a lot of things that you need to tend to…..”
Wang Kai looked up at me, smiled and said: “not a problem, this young master is highly proficient.”
Speechless, I was just speechless and not due to his narcissism but because he was truly very proficient. Ah, I was so so jealous of him………
A meeting was scheduled in the noon that was to be chaired by Wang Kai. Yu Zhi Fei was also going to attend it. Naturally, as a secretary of a certain someone I was also dragged into the meeting room.
Although Wang Kai was a shameless guy but whenever he was in a meeting, he never spewed any nonsense. Only in these meetings he would display a rare humbleness thus becoming a completely different person from his usual self. If I hadn’t known him for a really long time then I would have thought that either he was possessed by a ghost or he had a split personality.
At the meeting I was sitting in the position of Wang Kai’s secretary and coincidentally my seat was right next to Yu Zhi Fei’s seat…..hence I did not even have the courage to look up.
I couldn’t be any less interested in the contents of the meeting furthermore my heart was in a mess so
I was sitting on the chair, like a cow, blankly staring at the laptop screen. In my mind I was thinking whether or not Yu Zhi Fei would notice these ‘traces of intimacy’? If he saw what would be his reaction? If he had seen it then should I feel good about it or not? If he hadn’t ….no, even if he didn’t see them I would still go back and report to Jiang Li that Yu Zhi Fei had seen them, otherwise I wasn’t sure for how long my poor neck would have to suffer such atrocities by the hands of that butcher, Jiang Li!!! Besides, was it that important for Yu Zhi Fei to notice these marks? Important enough to risk my neck for it?
The answer was NO!!
God!
I was still in a trance when suddenly someone shook my arm. A very familiar voice resounded: “Xiao Guan Yan, idiot, for how long are you going to stay here?”
