Chapter 36: She Was the Chosen One?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Tiger was simple-minded, yet he could understand clearly whether someone was treating him true-heartedly or not.
He wasn’t able to express his meaning clearly, but Jing Yichen understood what he meant.
He was the successor of Jingsheng Enterprise, and Tiger was the man who stayed by his side all the time. Anyone who knew about him would try to establish a friendship with Tiger and to offer him some benefits either in public or on the sly. But they wouldn’t think that a bodyguard like him was worth anything. Besides, the majority of people would get disdainful and stay away from Tiger when they saw him acting cruelly.
But Shangguan Ning had never been biased against him. Even though Tiger broke her cousin’s arm, she didn’t think of Tiger as someone horrible.
She never bribed Tiger. Nor had she ever looked down upon him. She greeted him whenever she met him, and regarded him as a normal person.
That was why Tiger felt comfortable around her and liked her.
It created ripples inside Jing Yichen’s heart.
Did he find her special because she regarded him as an ordinary man as well and couldn’t stop himself from approaching her?
She didn’t even know his name yet! And she was really good at keeping her wits around her.
She must be aware that he was from an extraordinary background, but she had never asked him a single thing. She was aware that he was really good-looking, but she hadn’t tried to get close to him even though she got distracted by his look, sometimes.
Her eyes were so pure and clear, and was blessed with a heart so kind and determined.
It showed that she didn’t bend down to someone with extraordinary identity, nor did she get obsessed by their magnificent appearance.
He couldn’t help but feel relaxed around her. He could be himself when he was with her rather than being a successor of an enterprise that was worth 100 billion RMB, a man with a heavy load on his shoulders.
That was why Jing Yichen didn’t want to tell her his real name.
He was afraid that she would stay away from him if he told her the truth.
Their relationship was great at present. When she recovered, they could go and play tennis together, go for car racing together, go and eat together and go… on a date together.
During the past 32 years, he had never loved anyone. He wasn’t sure if this was what love was like. Irrespectively, he didn’t want to miss being with Shangguan Ning.
Jing Yichen, who had been living a magnificent life till date, lost sleep for the very first time because of a woman.
He got up when the day just broke.
Tiger, who was awake throughout the entire night, came with a piece of news – Black Wind of Black-red Association had escaped.
Jing Yichen wasn’t surprised. Tiger had gone to catch the man at Black-red Association as soon as he returned from America. But he had been too late.
He sneered. Escaped?
No one had, or ever would escape out of his palm.
It seemed that Black Wind had apparently lied regarding Guo Shuai’s incident. It was okay, because he was certainly going to make him tell the truth. Someone was watching Shangguan Ning on the sly and he wasn’t going to tolerate it. He was surely going to find out the truth.
Lying to him, would cost that man a great deal!
“Tiger, bring our men and smash the headquarters of Black-red Association! If Black Knife won’t hand over the man within seven days, then we will destroy them from the roots!” Jing Yichen sounded calm.
To destroy one of the most powerful gangsters in A City was as easy as swatting a fly for him.
Tiger was always interested in fights. He answered good-naturedly, “Yes, Master! I am on it now!”
“Wait…” Jing Yichen suddenly thought of something as a cold smile hovered over his face. “Take Mu Qing along, he will probably save you some effort.”
After Tiger left, Jing Yichen had breakfast and drove to meet the shareholders of the Enterprise. He had met all of the big shareholders till now, and was now meeting all the remaining, small ones so as to gain the support of everyone.
It would make the situation less troublesome when he took over the office from next Monday.
He spent the entire morning completing the business affairs. The shareholders suggested lunch with him so as to strengthen their relationship.
But Jing Yichen turned it down.
Their interests were connected tightly together and lunch wouldn’t make any difference. Their relationship would be strong as long as he could bring abundant profits for them.
He returned to Landscape Compound and went straight to the sixth floor.
Shangguan Ning was working on finding the information about Jingsheng Enterprise when the bell rang.
Could it be Aunt who came to visit her again?
Shangguan Ning’s head was aching, so she thought of pretending as if she weren’t at home. But then she thought that she wasn’t going to be able to hide forever, so why not just confront it now?
A tall, familiar man with royal charisma stood in front of her when she opened the door.
She was a bit startled, but let out a huge sigh of relief simultaneously.
Thank God that it wasn’t Aunt.
“What are you doing here, Mr. Zhao? Anything wrong?”
Seeing her relieved expression, Jing Yichen’s lip curled at the corner and he asked her a question, instead of replying, “Is someone coming to claim a debt from you?”
Shangguan Ning gasped. She looked at him in astonishment. Was she so apparent?
This man was simply too smart. No wonder Zhao Aana said that his IQ and EQ scores could be registered in the Guinness Book of World records!
All of Jing Yichen’s tiredness disappeared at the sight of her widened eyes and her lovely expressions.
But her look made him feel a little helpless. Why was she so bad at hiding things? That would bring her trouble.
She was standing at the door, showing no sign of letting him in.
You heartless woman! He had helped her so much, but how come she didn’t even have the intention of repaying him? It wouldn’t hurt her to let him come in for a cup of water.
Jing Yichen handed her the thing in his palm and replied. “You left the medicine in my car.”
“Oh, thank you for getting that for me!” Shangguan Ning said gratefully.
Mu Qing had prescribed two medicines. But she had only brought the one which she received at Jing Yichen’s villa and left the medicine prescribed at Family Mu’s Hospital, in his car.
He delivered it to her in person. She was both thankful and a little confused.
Before she realized it, Jing Yichen had pushed her aside and entered her home without an invitation. She was a bit displeased. This man had no clue! It was impolite of him to enter a girl’s home without permission.
But hadn’t she been to his home, gotten examined by a doctor there, eaten and slept there too?
Shangguan Ning found herself petty-minded at this thought. So she forgave Jing Yichen’s intruding.
It looked a bit messy in the apartment. The newspapers and magazines which she had collected were lying all over the living room.
Shangguan Ning felt a bit ashamed. “I am acquainting myself with some information. So it is a bit messy here. Sit wherever you want. What would you like to drink?”
Jing Yichen knew that his intruding would surely cause her unhappiness. But he never expected that she would adjust to it so fast.
It seemed that she was a woman who could adapt quickly to the changing environment, and accept new things easily.
Ha, he had just discovered another merit of hers.
“Tea, please!” He echoed casually, as he sat down on the sofa and threw a look at the newspapers and magazines which were scattered all over the table.
But after a moment, he frowned. His relaxed expression was getting colder and colder.
The only thing that was mentioned in the newspapers and magazines, was nothing other than – Jingsheng Enterprise!
The webpage open on her white laptop at the table’s corner showed: The Introduction of Jing Zhongxiu, President of Jingsheng Enterprise!
