My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 76: We Can Divorce

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jing Yichen looked at the woman he loved. He had been longing for her, day and night. She, on the other hand, was huddled in a corner and didn’t even want to sit next to him. It had been a few hours since the incident with Jing Yiran, and there was still some underlying unpleasantness. How had they grown so distant from each other already?

He had been missing her and was so worried about her when he was abroad, while she was suspecting him of loving another woman. If he really loved someone else, why would he have taken this much effort to force her into a marriage, even when she was unwell? Why did she not trust him?

He couldn’t take the distance between them anymore. He stretched out his arms and swept Shanggaun Ning into them. He lowered his head and kissed her with force. His kiss was wild and dominating. She belonged only to him. Only to him.

He couldn’t forget the sight that had greeted his eyes when he entered The Elegant Room. He had seen her in the arms of another man.

Although he understood that it hadn’t been her intention, he was still furious.

She must belong to him only!

His kiss made Shangguan Ning breathless.

He had never kissed her in such a reckless way before. Jing Yichen wasn’t even bothered about Tiger, who was driving their car.

Shangguan Ning wanted to push him off, but her strength couldn’t compare to his. All her protests were futile and made Jing Yichen kiss her even deeper.

She felt suffocated. She bit his lips, hard, hoping to make him stop.

Jing Yichen’s lips were bruised and oozing blood. He released the woman inside his arms slightly, panting heavily as he put his forehead against hers. He held her by her slender waist and whispered in her ears, “You must never ever allow any other man to touch you anymore, understand?”

Shangguan Ning was so angry – had she willingly surrendered herself to Jing Yiran? God! How much she detested this man!! What did he expect out of her? That she should forget everything that happened this morning and throw herself into his arms?

Annoyed, she tried to move herself away from Jing Yichen. He responded quickly, by holding onto her even tighter.

As of this moment, their bodies were in close proximity with hardly any distance between them. They painted such a sensuous picture.

“Your temper has worsened, after just a few days of separation. You are biting and kicking me!”– complained Jing Yichen.

“Get off me!” Shangguan Ning said with a snarl, showing no intention of giving up. She knew she couldn’t do much else because they weren’t alone.

“No way!” said Jing Yichen, who refused to let her go. The two bodies were snugly bound to each other, so much so that, they were even able to hear each other’s heart beat.

Shangguan Ning was totally unaware of the effect she had on Jing Yichen. Her fragrance and her temper were making him lose control. He longed for her so much that he wanted to take her at this very moment.

Shangguan Ning sensed the sexual tension between them. He was so irresistible. She thought of all the times that they had been on the verge of crossing all limits together.

She snapped out of her reverie, and asked Jing Yichen to move away from her. He complied with her wishes instantly, and did not try to come close to her again. He did that more out of the fear of losing his self control, than anything else.

Ning hadn’t expected him to give in this easily, so she was surprised when he did.

He didn’t speak for a short while, and then said, “The man who misbehaved with you today, is my half-brother. His name is Jing Yiran. I will ensure that you meet with the rest of my family soon. That way they will not be able to take you for a ride with their tactics. You will then be able to recognise them all.”

Honestly, he had never intended on having Ning meet with his family. He wanted to hide her and keep her to himself for as long as he pleased. Now he was faced with no other choice. In case he didn’t introduce her to them soon, there would always be a risk of them pulling a fast one on her.

Having Shangguan Ning meet with them would enable her to recognise them at least. She wouldn’t be caught off guard, like today.

Shangguan Ning was alarmed. That man was Jing Yichen’s brother? That meant that he already knew her identity before entrapping her in this way.

Why would he behave this way? Could it be to annoy and embarrass Jing Yichen?

“You both ... are enemies?” Shangguan Ning realised instantly that she had spoken out her thoughts, aloud. She silently chided herself for using an extreme word like – enemies.

Unexpectedly, however, Jing Yichen nodded and said, “Yes.”

Of course they were enemies, and today they became enemies to a further degree!

“By attacking you, he has hurt the person who is most important to me. I didn’t foresee his childish behaviour because of which you had to go through all this. It’s all my fault. I’m so sorry. I promise this won’t happen again.” He had never apologized to anybody in his life, and somehow Shangguan Ning was aware of this.

But he really did have the responsibility for today’s incident. Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable it might feel, he still wanted to apologize to her. It was he who had failed to protect her so that she was harmed.

He had thought that his apology would make Shangguan Ning forget about this incident.

Unexpectedly, however, Shangguan Ning, who normally tended to be understanding and tolerant, didn’t accept the apology this time at all.

She rolled the eyes at him and said cheekily, “Of course it is your fault. That’s why I am so angry.”

“Liyu Science & Technology is a company which my mother set up while she was still alive. Jing Yiran intended to push them to bankruptcy and purposefully poached their entire research and development team. I only met him so that I could convince him to let them go.”

Jing Yichen had already learnt all this, thanks to Lee Duo. What he didn’t know, was that Liyu Science & Technology was set up by Ning’s mother. He had always thought that it was Shangguan Xing’s company.

“Next time, remember to run these things by me. We are husband and wife now. We can rely on each other.” Jing Yichen’s expression was serious. His eyes were fixed upon her. Something about his tone, told her that he meant every word of what he just said.

Jing Yichen also broached the sensitive topic of ‘hiding his American lover.’ How would he explain to Shangguan Ning that this was one of Jing Yiran’s cheap tricks in order to cause tension and insecurity between them, as a couple.

Before long, he was holding her again and trying to kiss her. He nibbled at her ears and asked her softly, “Ning, are you jealous?”

Shangguan Ning didn’t flush, like she usually did. She moved away from him and said in a composed tone, “If you are in love with someone else, we can get a divorce.”
