Chapter 24: Can I Sleep With You?
Zhi Ruo didn't pay heed to her comment and proceeded to pay.
As the worker was bagging her purchases, the lady with the screeching voice grabbed her shoulder and turned her around with a brusque movement.
Zhi Ruo elegantly turned despite the force on her shoulder and slapped her hand away in a quick motion, " Who are you to touch me so carelessly? "
" What do you mean who I am? " Li Meilin screeched.
" I do not know who your insignificant self is. " Zhi Ruo rudely said.
" I'm your future cousin-in-law Li Meilin! " she boomed in a loud voice.
Hearing the loud voice, some people turned to look at her with a weird look.
Li Meilin instantly quietened after seeing that she was attracting a lot of attention.
" I'm sorry, who did you say you were? " Zhi Ruo indifferently looked at her.
" I said I am Li Meilin, Li Wei's cousin! " Li Meilin blurted out in frustration.
" So? What am I supposed to do if you are his cousin? " Zhi Ruo gibed.
" You-! Of course, you need to respect me! If you don't, you won't have a single chance in marrying my cousin! " Li Meilin stuttered.
" ... " Zhi Ruo looked at her like she was an idiot.
The girl had long hair that arrived at her waist, she had tainted her hair blond making her look a bit like a foreigner, she had a fairly pretty face but her proud expression kinda pissed Zhi Ruo of.
' I truly pity the readers, who the hell still reads the novel with this kind of low IQ villainess? '
" I don't want to marry him so I don't care. " Zhi Ruo gave her an indifferent expression and held Wang Yong's hand.
" Don't you see? I am busy. So bye. " Zhi Ruo directly said before walking away with Xiao Yong and Olivia.
" Bring the bags downstairs. " Zhi Ruo instructed to the staff before happily departing with the confused Xiao Yong.
" Don't mind that dumb person. " Zhi Ruo said to Xiao Yong after they were far enough from the shop to be heard by the frustrated Li Meilin.
" Hmm. " Wang Yong obediently nodded: he also thought that the person was very loud and annoying; he liked Ruoruo more, she was calm, nice, pretty and smelled good.
" So if there anything else you want to buy? More toys? " Zhi Ruo asked and realized she had acted too harsh, she should have bought more stuff in the kids' section.
Both Zhi Chao and the original owner didn't play a lot of games when they were young and were always reading a book so they didn't have that many games at home.
Xiao Yong shook his head.
" Then...how about we go to eat ice cream? " Zhi Ruo proposed.
Hearing the keyword ' ice cream ', Wang Yong's face lightened up and excitedly nodded.
" Let's go then. " Zhi Ruo smiled and cheerfully dragged Wang Yong.
The day went smoothly as the trio naturally got along. After spending more than 500$ in the arcade did they finally leave the mall.
...
Arrived at the mansion, Zhi Ruo moved all the plush toys in Wang Yong's new room and helped him name them one by one.
By the end of the day, Wang Yong easily adapted to the house and slowly become more comfortable with the Zhi family especially during dinner time where everyone was telling him to eat more, so much that his cheeks become stuffed like a squirrel. The family laughed and the whole atmosphere was joyous.
...
" What do you want now? " Li Wei's mood was sour.
" Cousin, you better come home soon, your fiancee is dating someone else! " Li Meilin denounced Zhi Ruo.
" What? " Li Wei's face immediately darkened a few shades, " She is dating someone else while I am away?! "
" Yes! She was holding hands with a handsome and tall man, they looked extremely affectionate! " Li Meilin continued.
There was a long silence on the other side of the line.
" Hello? Cousin? " Li Meilin looked at her phone just to make sure the call was still on.
" It's fine, I'll handle it. Don't tell anyone about this. " Li Wei's cold voice resonated.
" Of course! " Li Meilin answered.
...
" Ruoruo? " Xiao Yong's stable voice sounded.
" Xiao Yong? " Zhi Ruo said in a confused voice.
It was currently midnight in the mansion and Xiao Yong was standing alone in front of her door, looking like a pitiful abandoned puppy.
" Do you need anything? " Zhi Ruo rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened her bedlight.
" Can I...can I sleep with you? " Wang Yong shyly said while holding his pillow.
" You can't sleep alone? " Zhi Ruo questioned.
Xiao Yong pitifully shook his head.
Zhi Ruo looked at the full-grown man acting like a baby and resigned to coax the big boss.
' Don't worry, mentally he is still six. Nothing is wrong with this situation. Just pretend you are sleeping with your little cousin... ' Zhi Ruo sighed.
" Come. " Zhi Ruo patted the empty space on her king-sized bed.
Wang Yong's eyes glowed and he happily ran to her side.
He comfortably nestled in but still didn't feel secure so he turned to the tired Zhi Ruo and asked, " Can I hug you? "
Zhi Ruo's eyes widened and looked weirdly at the big boss. After a minute of silence, Wang Yong dejectedly said, " Is it no good...? "
" Fine, but only for tonight. " Zhi Ruo sighed exhaustingly and opened her arms.
" Come here. "
Wang Yong rapidly scooted over, buried his face near her smooth neck and encircled her small waist. Finally smelling again her sweet aroma and feeling the warmth of her soft body did Wang Yong feel secure enough to fall asleep.
Seeing the grown man sleeping like a bear, Zhi Ruo finally relaxed and looked down at the strong arm around her waist and lamented, ' Why did I say yes?! '
After mulling over the problem for a while, sleepiness finally drowned her and she also fell into a deep sleep.
' Let's keep tomorrow's problem for tomorrow's me...'
