I Am My Own Substitute Wife Novel - Chapter 31
Chapter 31: You Have Feelings for Me
Translator: Lonelytree
The guardian was scared half to death. The amount of information contained in that one sentence… was too high.
So the person inside was… CEO Sheng’s lovely wife?
“Yo-yo-you…” The guardian stammered. “You’re Mrs. Sheng?”
“Yes. See how cruel this man is that he’d throw his wife in here.”
The guardian thought that Jiang Niansheng should be thankful that this was the only punishment she got for almost cheating on CEO Sheng!
…
At the entrance of Flying Feather, the Rolls-Royce stopped.
Sheng Hanye got into the car and turned his head to look in the direction of the small black room. He had Jiang Niansheng stay there for a few days or else she’d go out of control and tear the roof down.
Wen Wan had been in that black room before. Wen Wan had never begged for mercy and accepted her punishment silently… However, with Jiang Niansheng, Sheng Hanye could imagine her yielding in a few hours.
At that moment, a phone rang. He checked his phone but no call came. Sheng Hanye raised his brows and looked around. Jiang Nianshing left her phone in the car. The caller Id was, Sheng Miaomiao.
Sheng Hanye answered the call but kept silent.
“Sister-in-law,” Sheng Miaomiao’s voice came out, “This is bad. Gu Yanzhou is really angry. I did as you said and lured him to the hotel. I put on the lingeries I just bought. When he came in, his expression dropped on the spot!”
Sheng Hanye’s eyes turned sharp as a knife! He said slowly, “What did you say?”
“Ah!” Sheng Miamiao screamed and quickly hung up the phone. Why was her big brother answering the phone? Where was her sister-in-law?
It was over. She lost face of the Sheng family and her brother had found out…
“Miss Sheng!” Gu Yanzhou, who was outside, heard her scream. He thought something bad happened to her. He immediately pushed the door open and rushed in, “What’s wrong.”
She was still wearing her lace lingerie and standing in front of the sink.
The fire in Gu Yanzhou’s eyes that was about to die out was now reignited.
He already knew what was going on.
Sheng Miaomiao liked him but she had always tried to woo him in a conventional way. Today, however, she suddenly became radical and changed her style. Someone must have told her to do that. That ‘someone’ was Jiang Niansheng.
Jiang Niansheng dropped the casual titbit at the company that Sheng Miaomiao had started a new relationship. That made him uneasy. Unable to control himself, he investigated where Sheng Miaomiao went to have the date.
He fell for the trap and came over. What or rather who he saw laying on the bed waiting for him caused his blood to pump hard.
Gu Yanzhou immediately turned around and closed his eyes. He shouted for Sheng Miaomiao to get into the bathroom to put on her clothes. He gave his order in an angry tone.
And now…
He looked at everything all over again.
“Gu Yanzhou,” Sheng Miaomiao bit her lower lip, and tears threatened to fall. “You must think that I’m a slut who has no self-respect. It made you hate me even more, right?”
Sheng Miaomiao had no idea that Gu Yanzhou couldn’t even pay attention to what she was saying. She had a devilish figure and an angelic face. She looked at him and was about to cry. Even if Gu Yanzhou had a heart of stone, it had already melted.
“Miaomiao,” Without knowing it, he changed the way he addressed her, “I don’t hate you.”
“There’s no need to deny it…” Sheng Miaomiao lowered her head in shame. “I didn’t want to do this either. Even I look down on myself. I just thought that if I could be with you, it wouldn’t have mattered in the end!”
Gu Yanzhou felt like he had to leave. Otherwise, he might not be able to hold himself back and do something impulsive!
Before he was Sheng Miaomiao, the daughter of the Sheng family. She had a noble status, so how could he be good enough for her?
In his heart, she was too holy and pure. He didn’t dare to imagine the possibility of them being together.
“There’s a bathrobe hanging there.”Gu Yanzhou pointed and turned around. “You put it on first. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Sheng Miaomiao sobbed softly. He paused for a few seconds but eventually walked out.
Soon, Sheng Miaomiao put on the bathrobe and stood in front of Gu Yanzhou. She looked at him carefully and didn’t dare to make a sound, like a child who had done something wrong.
“Sheng Miaomiao, do you know your mistake now?”
She shook her head.
Gu Yanzhou looked stunned. “So you think you’re not wrong?”
“No.” Sheng Miaomiao sniffled, “What is wrong about me trying to get together with the man I like?!”
“But I don’t want you to do that.”
“But don’t you feel anything for me? Don’t you want me?” Sheng Miaomiao pressed. “Your face is red and your forehead is covered in sweat, yet you’re still so stubborn!”
Gu Yanzhou deflected. “It’s because the air conditioning is broken. It’s very hot.”
“Then,” She said, “Look at me. Don’t dodge. Look straight at me.”
Gu Yanzhou refused to oblige.
“If you don’t even dare to look at me, then it means you have feelings for me.”
Yes, that was right, because he cherished her too much. But he had to do something. Gu Yanzhou turned to meet her gaze. “Miaomiao, you don’t need to do anything and eventually a perfect man will come looking for you. You don’t have to do these things.”
Sheng Miaomiao stood on her tiptoes and got closer to him.
This was because of something Jiang Niansheng told her. She said when you looked at a man for more than 20 seconds, if he liked you, he would lean in to kiss you. Sheng Miaomiao would put that to the test.
She looked at Gu Yanzhou and thought, ‘he is so handsome.’
He was gentle as jade, cool and charming, all the things she looked for in a man.
The time ticked by.
Sheng Miaomiao was counting down in her heart. Eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven… why hadn’t Gu Yanzhou kissed her yet?
Did he really have no feelings for her? He didn’t care for her so he could control himself?
Sheng Miaomiao felt the disappointment coming when Gu Yanzhou’s breathing became heavy and unsteady.
He slowly lowered his head and moved closer to her. He was so close that Sheng Miaomiao could see his distinct eyelashes.
Sister-in-law was right! They had looked at each other long enough and he leaned in to kiss her!
Sheng Miaomiao’s heart was beating very fast. She was nervous. She was looking forward to how Gu Yanzhou’s lips would feel. Would they be soft, thin, or delicious?
Just as their lips were about to touch, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Yanzhou’s rationality returned.
What was he doing! Sheng Miaomiao was anxious. She grabbed his tie and leaned forward. She would get his kiss that day!
In her panic, she stepped on her bathrobe and she fell. She carried Gu Yanzhou with her.
Both of them landed on the soft bed.
