Chapter 9

Some women have to depend on a voluptuous body to attract the gazes of men, while others don’t even need to dress s.e.xily and would still be stunning. Men have a natural instinct when it comes to chasing women. Once their radar senses a target, it would automatically lure their gaze. Tang Xin Lian just so happened to have this kind of spark.

Even without dressing up, those big watery eyes and those innocent and kind expressions without any hidden agenda, made her very susceptible to bullying. Consequently, this made her the ideal target for big bad wolves.

She didn’t know it yet, but she unintentionally attracted the attention of the most powerful wolf in history. In addition, this big, savage wolf was ruthless and keen on defending his prey.

“杀人不见血” – literally to kill without spilling blood or killing without revealing a trace; sinister, underhanded, or ruthless

“Don’t worry, with me here, I will protect you.” He then very naturally hugged her and kissed her forehead.

This kiss came so suddenly, that she was stunned for a moment. While touching her forehead, she immediately distanced herself from him.

“You kissed me?”

“Yeah, I kiss my sister this way too. Just look at you and your scared appearance. Aren’t we playing the role of husband and wife? Responding like this, you’ll be lucky if your act isn’t seen through by other people.” Zhong Zhen Dong deliberately sighed and shook his head.

Hearing his words, Tang Xin Lian felt that she might have overreacted, and couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

“I’m sorry… I’m just not used to it…”

“We’ll have to go out together in public at one point, and when that time comes, everyone will be observing us. Since it’s all an act, we should act realistically. Just treat me like an older brother, and I’ll treat you like a little sister. Understand?” Saying this, he reached out his hand to pet her head, just like an older brother who doted on his little sister would.

Being stroked by Zhong Zhen Dong, Tang Xin Lian felt that she was really making a big deal out of nothing. She also recalled that he was gay, so he definitely didn’t have that type of intention towards her.

“Sorry, I’m not used to having an older brother.”

“If you’re not used to having an older brother, then you can just see me as an older sister.”

“Ah?”

“Don’t just look at my outward appearance. Actually, I carry a woman’s soul inside a man’s body.”

Tang Xin Lian suddenly understood. She’d heard before that among h.o.m.os.e.xual men, there were some who were relatively feminine. Comparatively, among h.o.m.os.e.xual women, there were some who were relatively masculine. Thinking about the manly Lin Yu Fan, Zhong Zhen Dong was indeed more effeminate.

“I understand.”

“It’s good that you understand. So, what should you be calling me?”

“Zhong… older sister?”

“Wrong, you should be calling me husband.”

“Eh?”

He lightly flicked the tip of her nose, and proceeded to coax her with his mesmerizing voice.

“In your heart, you can see me as an older brother or an older sister, but on the surface, you have to call me husband. You need to get used to it, understand? My beloved wife.”

“Okay.” The little white rabbit nodded her head, grateful for his guidance.

“Very good, let’s practice some more. Come, give me a kiss.”

Handling the little white rabbit required some skill. Zhong Zhen Dong used an “older sister” ident.i.ty, and camouflaged as a h.o.m.os.e.xual as well, so that he could pretentiously take advantage of the little white rabbit.

Holding her waist, touching her face, and kissing her cheek, he did all of these easily and naturally. Moreover, his expression was exceptionally honest, not showing any other meaning. He kept all of his lecherous thoughts in his heart and mind, so he didn’t need to display it outwardly.

Only men with low IQs couldn’t conceal their lewd intentions from their face, and would openly stare and drool.

Everything Zhong Zhen Dong did appeared natural. Moreover, he also waited for and seized opportunities. For example, he would enter the room when she was in the process of putting on a bra. Seeing her fl.u.s.tered and helpless, he would calmly walk over.

“Here, I’ll help you fasten it.”

“No, no need.”

“Don’t be so formal. Also, it’s not that I’m chiding you, but your taste is really unacceptable. To go as far as to buy this kind of poor quality undergarment, did you know that cheap bras make the shape of a woman’s chest appear lousy?”

“Eh… is that so?”

“Of course, regarding undergarments, you can just ask me.”

He didn’t just teach her about the importance of women lingerie, he also convinced her to go with him to buy new ones, saying he’ll pick the most suitable lingerie for her.

Tang Xin Lian was unable to resist his enthusiasm and his good intentions. He mentioned that one of his friends just recently opened a lingerie business, and so this was the perfect opportunity to go take a look.

Immediately after she entered the store with Zhong Zhen Dong, she couldn’t help but gawk.

The undergarment store she pictured was that of an ordinary department store, or even a generic store on the streets. However, the place Zhong Zhen Dong took her to was very fancy and very big, just like a mansion.

Tang Xin Lian dazedly stood inside the store. Underneath her feet was a violet flannel carpet, and above her was a crystal chandelier that sparkled brightly. Additionally, imitation paintings of Monet’s works hung on the walls. The lingerie was also not hung on a rack, arranged in rows accordance to size. On the contrary, it was presented like a work of art in a display window, illuminated with complementary lighting.
