Chapter 46

Not your girl .

Zhen Zhen visited Yan Fen’s guest room again after Tan Cuo and Tan Hai left Yue Gu Zai’s home .

‘Big brother Yan Fen, you look healthy,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Yue Gu Zai saw Zhen Zhen visit Yan Fen’s guest room, and he quickly walked into the guest room .

‘Boss,’ Yan Fen said .

‘How are you feeling?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

Yan Fen understood Yue Gu Zai’s undertone . Yue Gu Zai wanted him to leave if he was healthy again .

‘Good,’ Yan Fen said .

‘Um,’ Yue Gu Zai said . He turned to look at Zhen Zhen . ‘Zhen Zhen, go pack our belongings . We’re flying home tomorrow . ’

Zhen Zhen’s eyes lit up . She missed Zhen Wu, but she was worried about Yan Fen .

‘Don’t worry about me,’ Yan Fen said . ‘My injury is healed . ’

‘Alright,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I’ll go pack . ’

Zhen Zhen left, and Yan Fen wondered why Yue Gu Zai stayed behind .

‘Boss, is there something else?’ Yan Fen asked .

‘I don’t like other people coveting what belongs to me,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Even if they secretly covert in their hearts, I still won’t tolerate it . ’

Yan Fen’s body tensed .

‘Boss, I understand,’ Yan Fen said .

‘It’s good you understand,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Get plenty of rest . ’

Yan Fen understood he couldn’t compete with a man like Yue Gu Zai . If Zhen Zhen loved him, he would willingly risk his life to be with Zhen Zhen . But he knew by the way Zhen Zhen looked at Yue Gu Zai whenever she was in the same room as Yue Gu Zai that she loved Yue Gu Zai . He didn’t have a chance to be with her .

Two days later, Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Zhen flew home from Las Vegas . She was happy to become friends with William Hill and Yan Fen . But she loved being home best .

Mr Zhen heard Zhen Zhen arrived home safely, and he called her on the phone .

‘Zhen Zhen, I want you to bring Gu Zai here for dinner,’ Mr Zhen said .

‘Yes dad,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Zhen Zhen hung up, and she looked at Yue Gu Zai confusedly .

‘Did your dad invite me to eat dinner?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘OK,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I’ll take you to eat dinner at your parents’ home, and we’ll bring our son home afterward . ’

Later at Mr and Mrs Zhen’s front door, Zhen Zhen changed her mind . She was worried Mr Zhen would fight with Yue Gu Zai again .

‘Gu Zai, let’s eat dinner at my parents’ house another day,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Zhen Zhen, it’s alright,’ Yue Gu Zai . ‘You don’t need to protect me from your dad . ’

Zhen Wu opened the door . He was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants . He looked like a mini Yue Gu Zai .

Zhen Zhen hugged Zhen Wu and kissed his face . She missed Zhen Wu a lot .

‘Zhen Wu, mummy missed you,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Of course you would miss your son,’ Zhen Wu said .

Although Zhen Zhen was Zhen Wu’s mum, Zhen Wu understood Yue Gu Zai didn’t want to share Zhen Zhen even with his son .

‘Mum, your saliva,’ Zhen Wu said .

Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Wu exchanged secret looks at each other .

Yue Gu Zai: Done?

Zhen Wu: Of course . Your son is a genius .

‘What are the three of you doing standing at the door?’ Mr Zhen said . ‘Hurry and come eat . ’

At the dining table, Mr Zhen crossed his arms and he looked sternly at Yue Gu Zai .

‘Gu Zai, even if you’re not fighting for custody of Zhen Wu and you agreed not to change Zhen Wu’s family name,’ Mr Zhen said . ‘Don’t think I’ll let you marry Zhen Zhen that easily . ’

‘Gu Zai, ignore this old man and eat comfortably,’ Mrs Zhen said .

Zhen Wu ate dinner quickly so he could talk to Yue Gu Zai in private .

‘Dad, I kept my promise,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘I helped you and grandpa call a truce . You have to keep your promise too . ’

‘Of course your dad will keep his promise to you,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Zhen Wu sighed, and he patted Yue Gu Zai’s pitiful back .

‘Dad, don’t count your chickens before they hatch,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Talk to mum first . ’

Yue Gu Zai smiled at the why Zhen Wu acted mature like an adult in a child’s body .

Yue Gu Zai drove Zhen Zhen and Zhen Wu home from Mr and Mrs Zhen’s home . He thought Zhen Wu was overthinking things, because Zhen Zhen was in a good mood .

‘Is our son starting a new school term?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Zhen Zhen sat in front of the vanity table . She was humming a happy tune while she blow dried her hair .

‘Zhen Zhen, our son is a genius,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘He doesn’t need to go to school . ’

Yue Gu Zai was sitting on the bed and holding a book . But he was couldn’t read a single word because he was worried about Zhen Zhen’s reaction .

‘Even if our son is a genius, he still needs to go to school,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Yue Gu Zai’s heart was beating fast after Zhen Zhen turned off the hair dryer, and looked sternly at him .

‘Zhen Zhen, we can invite the best teachers to home school our son,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I’m worried his potential would be wasted at school . ’

‘No!’ Zhen Zhen said and crossed her arms .

‘Zhen Zhen, give me a reason why,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘No reason at all,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Our son going to school is not up for negotiation . Gu Zai, if our son emotionally blackmailed you to talk me out of making him go to school then I’m sorry to disappoint you, he’s going to school and that is final . ’

‘Zhen Zhen, even if you don’t want to compromise about our son going to school,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I want to know why . ’

‘Then you can see me as an unreasonable woman,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight . ’

Zhen Zhen walked to the guest room before Yue Gu Zai could stop her .

Yue Gu Zai knew Zhen Zhen was easy going unless someone provoked her . He watched her leave their bedroom, and he felt like he lost too much from his deal with Zhen Wu .

Two days later, Yue Gu Zai regretted making the deal with Zhen Wu, because Zhen Zhen gave him the silent treatment for two days .

Zhen Wu pitied Yue Gu Zai, and he consoled Yue Gu Zai in the study room .

‘Dad, I heard if someone is a member of Ni Sheng and go back on their word, they’ll become shark bait,’ Zhen Wu said .

Yue Gu Zai wanted to kill the traitor who told Zhen Wu about Ni Sheng’s shark bait rule .

‘Dad, cheer up,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Mum gave me the silent treatment too when I asked her if I could stop going to school . ’

‘How long did your mum ignore you for?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘One month,’ Zhen Wu said .

Yue Gu Zai couldn’t survive one month without sleeping with Zhen Zhen .

Cheng Yi overheard Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Wu’s conversation . He suspected Zhen Wu hid something important from Yue Gu Zai . He waited for Zhen Wu to come outside .

‘Young master, did it really take your mum only one month to talk to you again?’ Cheng Yi asked .

‘Of course not,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘I surrendered after one month . I begged mum to forgive me, and I promised her I wouldn’t ask to stop going to school again . ’

‘Young master, why didn’t you tell boss?’ Cheng Yi asked .

‘Dad didn’t ask me,’ Zhen Wu said .
