Chapter 172: Can’t let go and can’t move on…..
Favouring one over another, forgetting old and embracing something new, it seemed scummy, but that's how this was going to go, only then could his villainous title be justified.
But Su Chen still showed some decency.
"It's still 9 pm, let's go watch the late night movie show."
"By the way, you must have not eaten anything, right?"
"We can grab something for us along the way."
With a smile at the corner of his lips, Su Chen deliberately winked at Ji Rumeng.
"Leave it, you have already enjoyed your evening."
Ji Rumeng tried to dismiss him.
But Su Chen domineeringly held her hand.
"Since you are here, let's go."
"Be obedient!"
Not giving her a chance to refute, he started pulling her along the way.
Ji Rumeng showed some initial resistance, but later there was an unconcealed smile on her face.
That's how women are, they want you to take the initiative.
Their initial protest is just an appetiser to feed your manly ego.
This is their test that you must pass.
The more she says no, the more she wants to say yes!
Ji Rumeng knew that he had already eaten and enjoyed his time yet he was ready to overeat with her and watch a late night movie, this simple gesture of him touched something sweet inside her heart.
It was hard to describe, something inexplicable, an emotion satisfying yet full of craving.
It may look simple but only with such simple gestures can you win a maiden's heart.
Sometimes only mundane words and actions are enough, there is no need for empty promises.
But they were not alone.
Ichiko Mitshua, who should have gone back home, was fiercely staring at them.
Her chest was heaving up and down, the anger in her breath was too profound.
"Shameless!"
"Douchebag…..this playboy!"
Looking at the boy who was merrily holding her sister's hand just some hours ago, now enjoying the company of another beauty sparked an even bigger jealousy in her.
Originally, she was just listlessly standing at a crossroad, but then she saw Su Chen coming her way, but the shocking thing was he was proudly holding the hand of another woman instead of her sister.
So she decided to follow and catch him in the act.
It was only when she got closer did Ichiko Mitshua realise that this beauty was Ji Rumeng, the new secretary that was managing Su Chen's newly founded company.
Of course Mitshua had done her research but even with many efforts she couldn't dig out the background of this Ji Rumeng which popped up out of nowhere.
It's like she never existed in this world before.
Initially, Mitshua was full of admiration for Su Chen for being able to find such a capable secretary, but currently, all she had left was disgust.
"In the workplace, the biggest taboo is the relationship between a boss and subordinate. Su Chen, you are flaunting your relationship so openly, are you not afraid that your company's reputation will take a hit?"
Mitshua couldn't figure out Su Chen's intentions.
Her face was sometimes filled with question marks, sometimes excitement and sometimes like she had been wronged.
"Damn, after eating some barbecue, they are going to a movie hall?"
"Do they want to spend the late night together?"
Mitshua was wondering while meticulously clicking pictures of them together using her smartphone's camera.
"With these pictures I will have solid evidence."
"Su Chen, I wonder what face you will make when I show these to my sister Saori."
"Hehe, now time to run."
After making sure that she had gathered enough material to complain to Ichiko Saori, Mitshua hurriedly ran away.
"Had she left?"
After 3 minutes Mitshua left, Ji Rumeng spoke in an annoyed tone.
"It was such a bother, her stare was constantly over us."
"When she was clicking our pics, the flash from the camera was so damn clear, probably it was her first time stalking someone, so unprofessional!"
"But aren't you afraid she will run to Saori and spoil your good deeds?"
Ji Rumeng was full of amusement.
"Not bothered to the slightest."
Su Chen directly dismissed her concerns.
From the moment Ichiko Mitshua started following them, both of them had realised who their stalker was.
After all, Mitshua was too reckless and casual in her act.
"What's there to feel guilty about?"
"I am just a nominal boyfriend of Saori, not her official boyfriend."
Su Chen spoke meaningfully, his eyes containing a playful gleam.
"Let's not think about other girls, it will spoil our evening."
Pinching her nose, Su Chen chuckled.
Taken aback by his sudden mischief, Ji Rumeng blushed.
"Your girl teasing habits are getting higher and higher."
Instead of backing like usual girls, Ji Rumeng instead pushed her face closer to him.
"You only want to pinch…..or you want something more?"
Looking at her dangerous gaze that seemed to be inviting him to do something naughty, Su Chen took a deep breath.
'Damn, no wonder it is said that once a man tastes the bliss of sex, it's harder to live honestly like a saint.'
Exhibiting remarkable calm, Su Chen was able to suppress his lust.
He clearly knew what Ji Rumeng was feeling for him was dependence not love or attraction.
Having lost both her parents, with only Su Chen near her, she was thinking of him as an anchor that was keeping her together from falling apart.
She was only doing what he told, what he ordered, like a robot diligently following instructions given to it.
The only reason she hadn't committed suicide from depression until now was because she was trying to figure out what Su Chen really wanted from her.
Just use her, sleep with her and bed her like normal heroines?…. Once Su Chen really did such a thing, she even herself didn't know what she would do.
Like an empty shell, she was actually hollow from inside.
Full of some kind of expectation, but what kind of expectation, even she didn't know..
"Can't let go and can't move on….."
"...….are two sides of the same attachment."
Making a straight eye contact with Ji Rumeng, Su Chen words were filled with a deep profoundness.
