My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 321 The Pattern of Chat-Up Lines (3)

There was no denying that he was a man of striking features. Chuxue Ye had to admit that, in all conscientious, Zhao Nangong could be pegged as the top among all the handsome men she’d ever seen. This face was like a piece of art, the long eyelashes, the limped and wide eyes that were rarely seen, the straight nose, and the slightly pressing lips that looked like harboring numerous chat-up lines.

Such a man would be by all means dazzling at any time, but of course, compared to her brother and the little guy, he was still a little bit inferior.

As she was putting her mind to read his features, the man suddenly looked up and met her gaze with a bright smile, "How's that? Are you satisfied with my appearance?"

She was quite embarrassed by being caught on the spot, so she shifted her gaze to elsewhere, cleared her throat, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My looks, is it attractive to you?"

Chuxue went the extra mile to suppress the stirring in her chest and pretended to be indifferent, "My father told my brother that men should pay too much attention to their looks, no matter how good looking they are, without being capable, it is of no use. Now, word for word."

"Okay, I know, I'll work harder."

Does it have anything to do with me whether you work hard or not? Murmured she inwardly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

At this moment, her phone rang, she took it out and saw that it was from her brother Jingyan Ye.

"Keep quiet." Chuxue warned him, and then she cleared her throat and picked up the phone, "What's up, brother?"

"Dad said you will bring me breakfast, where are you?" Jingyan’s voice sounded a little bit hoarse.

Chuxue rolled her eyes, picking a poor excuse, "I met an acquaintance on the way and we talked for a while, so the delivery got delayed, where are you?"

"I am just about to go to the office ...... Ruyi, did you literally meet an acquaintance?"

Chuxue looked at the man, answering with a reluctant expression, "Yeah."

"Oh, fine, I thought you’ve encountered an accident."

"What?" Chuxue exclaimed, tensing, "What made you think so?"

"Well, I just saw a red sports car which is quite similar to yours parked in the middle of the road, so I thought you had rear-ended someone."

"Nah, I am such a good driver, how could I rear-end someone?" Smiled Chuxue, trying to cover the tense in her tight voice.

Hearing that, Zhao, who was bounding up the wound with gauze for her, put on a significant smile.

"Good to hear that you're fine. By the way, you don’t need to bring me breakfast, I'm no hungry, and there is an important meeting on the way."

As it just went as her wish, she nodded and replied, "Okay."

"Bye."

Chuxue hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief while the wound on her knee was perfectly bounded up.

Zhao stood up, "Be careful not to soak the wound for the next two days, the doctor will prescribe some medicine for you later, if you don't want your family to know about your injury, you can change the gauze by yourself, it’s an easy job."

Chuxue almost blurted out "thank you" for his detailed instruction.

She jumped off the bed, took a few steps forward, and really felt better.

"You can rest here for a while and I go fetch you a doctor."

Chuxue lowered her head and didn't say anything. It was she who caused the car accident, but she just got a stiff neck and failed to say “sorry” and “thank you”.

If he wasn't Hao Nangong’s son, she might not have been so hostile towards him and might have even been his friend.

Unfortunately, he was from that Nangong family.

After all procedures were carried out, Zhao came in with several medicines, picked up her bag with one hand and held her arm with the other just like a qualified boyfriend and said, "Let's go. Where are you going now? I'll take you there."

"I can't just go to the store like this, my brother will definitely get to the bottom of this if he notices my injury, so firstly I need to go buy a pair of trousers and have a change."

"There's a clothes store in the street ahead. Slow down, be careful." Zhao instructed her thoughtfully.

"Is your very thoughtful consideration that attracts so many girls?" Said Chuxue sarcastically.

Zhao didn't catch her point, "What?”

"Why do you play the fool? You've got a lot of chat-up lines at your fingertips, not to mention other tricks like carrying the girls, taking bags for them, paying for them, and offering them a ride. Quite a perfect player dude, isn’t it?”

Zhao twisted his head back and stared at her, "Then have I successfully hooked you up?"

"I'm sorry, I've met too many men like you and I don’t want to give a shit about it." Chuxue shrugged.

"I've never done this for other women before, I promise,” Explained Zhao frustratedly, “you're the most unique one."

"Fine, fine, I got it, I'm the first and will be the only one, right? Alright, you can shut up now. I’m clear about what you are going to say."

A wry smile was put on his face. Indeed, that was what he wanted to tell her, but it was totally out of his sincerity. He could just stand there like a mannequin in the mall and then there would be countless girls coming to him like a swarm of bees, what was the need for the chat-up lines and other tricks?

When they arrived at the mall, Chuxue tried to get rid of him again, "Can you stop following me?"

"No." Replied Zhao concisely.

Without any better solution, she had to allow his following and walked into a dress store for a pair of wide-legged trousers. She went to the fitting room to change into them, quite fit and comfortable, what's more, it would not touch the wound.

"How much is it?" Chuxue asked the shop assistant.

"Your boyfriend has already paid for it." The shop assistant said enthusiastically.

"He's not my boyfriend." Chuxue’s voice cooled down instantly.

The shop assistant was rather embarrassed. Zhao wrapped tightly around her shoulders and took her out, "Come on, it's just a pair of trousers, you can take it as a gift from me."

"I don't want your gift." She was angry.

"I know you’re rich,” He soothed her, “you’re far richer than me, but since the shop assistant mistook me for your boyfriend if I don't pay for it, she might make fun of you."

Chuxue raised her eyebrows, "So I owe a debt of gratitude to you, right?"

"Of course not."

"How much is it? I'll pay you back, I don't want to have anything to do with you." Chuxue was about to take out her wallet.

Zhao gripped her hand hard and said, "If you really want to pay it back, you can buy me something of the same price."

Chuxue looked up with a sarcastic smile curving on her lips, "Is it your another appealing game?"

"It’s not a game, but it’s appealing." Without waiting for her answer, he pulled her into a clothing store for men besides.

Until now did she realize what did a clingy man look like, it really broadened her horizons.

"Does this look good?" Zhao picked up a delicate brooch and asked him with a smile.

“No.” She replied impatiently.

"What about this one?"

"Ugly."

The following choices earned nothing but negative comments like “Ugly” and “Bad taste” from her, making the shop assistant’s face keep darkening. However, Zhao was patient, because it was enough as long as he could receive comments from Chuxue.

"I know you have good taste, just pick one of them for me."

Chuxue was eager to get out of here as soon as possible, so she ran a glance around, pointing at a chic one causally, and said, "This one looks good."

"Wrap it up, please." Zhao said to the shop assistant.

Chuxue gave her the car, and the latter swiped it with great attempts to hold back her surprises and handed it over politely, saying, "Thank you, madam, it came to 16,000 yuan in total."

"How much is it?" Chuxue was shocked.

The shop assistant smiled and explained, "16000 yuan, madam. This brooch is made of pure platinum and is inlaid with extremely precious black diamonds, so it’s more expensive."

Chuxue put the card into her bag and left the store. Then she questioned him in an unkind tone, "How much did you pay for my trousers?"

"2000 yuan." Zhao smiled.

"Fine, the extra 14000 yuan is the compensation for your broken car. Goodbye."

Zhao stretched his long leg to block her way and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

"No. It’s just 14000 yuan, what for?"

"But you have unhappiness written on your face."

"That's because my good temper has been worn out by you today, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." Why shall we waste time and energy on a relationship which was destined to be fruitless?

Zhao conceded, "Fine, I’m gonna drive you back, and then I'll send your car to the 4S shop for repairment."

"No, I will fix it later." As she passed by, she held his arm casually, "Stand here for a while, it doesn't take too long."

Then Zhao found that he couldn't move his legs. He was shocked. Did she use her superpower?
